Chapter 226

Li Yiquan stared into her ink-black pupils. "Let me take you downstairs."

"Really, no need. It's already too much trouble for you, and it's so late, delaying you from going home."

"Do you think I'm the kind of man who would dump a woman halfway and let her walk home alone at night?"

"Uh..." Fine, she surrendered. How could she possibly win an argument against a lawyer?

"Alright, it's that building in front." He Lele pointed.

"Heh..." Li Yiquan suddenly chuckled, actually driving past the building where He Lele rented, and heading toward the detached villa behind it.

"L?"

Amidst He Lele's confusion, Li Yiquan drove straight into the villa's garage, then got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side window, and opened the door for her, who was stunned like a wooden chicken.

"Let's go, I'll see you back."

"Ah? Oh!"

Heavens! She remembered! Ren Lingyu had said that Li Yiquan's parents were both authoritative scholars in the legal field and senior professors at the university! But she hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence that it was actually Dong× University!

"You, you..."

"Hello, neighbor." Li Yiquan draped his suit jacket over her somewhat thin frame, smiling like the warm sun.

☆, (11 Fresh Coins) Chapter 197: We'll Raise It

"Which floor?" Li Yiquan looked up.

He Lele looked at the light shining from her room. "6, 6th floor. I can go up by myself. The place at home is very small, so I won't invite you up to sit."

"... Alright. Then I'll wait downstairs for you to turn on the light."

Hmm? He Lele also looked up. Did he think she lived in the room across the hall? "I, I live with someone else." She pointed to the window where the light was shining through.

"Oh! Then I'm relieved. Well then, goodnight... Happy."

"Goodnight... L."

After entering the building, He Lele couldn't help but sigh. Many things are sometimes just so laughable; the more you want to avoid someone, the closer they end up being.

She took out her keys to open the door. As soon as she entered, she saw Qin Zhixiu leaning against the bedpost, sitting on the floor, his eyes bleary with sleep, and he was holding a ball of white towel in his arms.

"You're back!" A shallow and pure smile bloomed on Qin Zhixiu's face.

He Lele looked back gently. Seeing such a smile, she could really forget all her troubles. "The floor is cold, don't sit on it. You haven't eaten yet?"

The dishes on the small table were wrapped well with plastic wrap, and two sets of clean bowls and chopsticks were laid out together; it was clear he had been waiting for her.

"Yeah, have you eaten?"

"I—is that... a cat?" After Qin Zhixiu stood up, she finally saw what was wrapped in the white towel in his arms!

After asking carefully, it turned out that while Qin Zhixiu was waiting for her downstairs in the dark, he had discovered a small, soaking wet, and dirty kitten in the corner. He had brought the little one upstairs, wanting to clean it, but the kitten kept struggling as soon as it saw water. He had no choice but to wrap it in a towel and hold it in his arms while waiting for her to return.

"Small kittens get sick easily when bathed." He Lele gently touched the kitten's head with her fingertips. The kitten didn't seem to fear people, and its round, somewhat charming eyes were very endearing.

"Then what should we do?" Qin Zhixiu looked at He Lele innocently. Without internet or a mobile phone, he had no way to look it up online.

As soon as He Lele looked up, she met his equally endearing eyes. Looking him up and down, she couldn't help but laugh. Was it really a case of the pet and the owner being one?

After wiping the kitten clean with a hot towel and feeding it some water and food, the kitten closed its eyes and fell asleep without a sound. He Lele found an old cotton jacket and folded it to temporarily serve as its little nest. Watching it close its eyes and adjust itself before continuing to sleep, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.

"Shall we raise it?"

"..." Vaccines, cat food, cat milk... "Okay."

Gently hugging her petite body from behind, lowering his head to rest against her warm and soft cheek, Qin Zhixiu's eyes and voice were filled with deep attachment. "Thank you."

Lowering her eyes to look at the sleeping kitten, He Lele slightly raised her arms, her slender hands covering his long, beautiful hands that were wrapped around her. "... You're welcome."

Lingering kisses moved from her temples to her cheeks, following behind her ears, bringing a teasing itch all the way to her slightly cool shoulders.

Qin Zhixiu did not continue.
