Chapter 515

Nanio immediately lowered its head and began to lick it up in small, quick bites.

It squinted its eyes, its throat emitting a loud, satisfied purring sound, clearly enjoying it very much.

And at this time.

Natsume Ruri was still unconvinced, saying angrily:

"Brother, give the cat treat to me now."

Natsume Chikage smiled and handed over the half-eaten cat treat.

Natsume Ruri took it and fed it to Xiaobai's mouth again.

Xiaobai indeed lowered its head again and continued to eat.

"It only eats what Brother has touched, Xiaobai, you're bad!"

She said that, but her other hand couldn't help but gently scratch its furry little head.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui saw this scene and laughed:

"It really is."

"It seems Xiaobai is a bit picky about people."

Xiyuanji Qilai asked happily:

"Can I try it too?"

Natsume Ruri didn't mind and handed over the cat treat:

"Mm-hmm."

Xiyuanji Qilai carefully took the cat treat, squatted down, and began to feed it.

She found that Xiaobai was indeed very well-behaved, following the scent of the cat treat, its little tongue licking away.

And the more Xuecun Lingyin watched, the more restless she became.

She moved her feet closer quietly.

Finally, she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, wanting to say she wanted to feed it too.

But she found that the cat treat in Xiyuanji Qilai's hand had already been finished by Xiaobai.

She instantly froze in place, her open mouth closing silently, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashing across her cold face.

Watching Nanio, having finished the cat treat, licking its paws contentedly, Xiyuanji Qilai opened her hands, wanting to pick it up.

But it nimbly shrank its body and dodged.

"Xiaobai, come to me."

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui also opened her arms, wanting to grab it from the other side.

But it still nimbly twisted its body and dodged.

Nanio walked with elegant steps and stepped straight onto Xuecun Lingyin's lap.

Seeing this, a clear joy instantly appeared on Xuecun Lingyin's cold face.

She thought Xiaobai finally favored her.

She finally couldn't help but reach out, her fingertips trembling slightly, wanting to touch that snow-white fur within reach.

However, Xiaobai was only "passing through."

It pushed off with its hind legs, used her lap to gain leverage, did a small jump, and landed steadily back on Natsume Chikage's lap.

There, it curled into a ball of fur, let out a big yawn, closed its eyes, and began to sleep.

Xuecun Lingyin's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

Her cold face was stunned, then she narrowed her eyes slightly and bit her lower lip.

When her gaze turned to Natsume Chikage, it was mixed with slight resentment and a trace of imperceptible jealousy.

Even the other girls cast similar gazes.

Natsume Ruri muttered:

"I've been so good to Xiaobai, why is it so attached to you, Brother?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui also couldn't help but mutter:

"I've fed Xiaobai many times outside too, this guy, it's not close to me at all."

"It hasn't even met you many times, Natsume-kun, why does it like you so much?"

Xiyuanji Qilai puffed up her little mouth, her tone filled with envy:

"Natsume-kun... my family doesn't usually allow keeping cats, can I hold Xiaobai?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui immediately raised her hand in agreement:

"I want to too."

Xuecun Lingyin didn't speak, but those eyes that had been watching Xiaobai all along clearly expressed the same longing.

Natsume Chikage looked at the Monopoly board spread out on the table, then at Xiaobai sleeping soundly on his arm.

He scratched its chin gently with his free hand and suggested with a smile:

"Aren't you all going to play Monopoly in a bit."

"Whoever wins, I'll let her hold Xiaobai as a prize for a while."

Hearing this, the four girls all showed surprise on their faces, their eyes igniting with intense fighting spirit.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui clenched her fists excitedly:

"Ooh, it's on!"

Xiyuanji Qilai's natural smile was now mixed with a touch of rare seriousness:

"I won't lose!"

Natsume Ruri had a serious little face and solemnly announced:

"I am a Monopoly master, you seniors better be careful!"

Xuecun Lingyin, who had originally planned to play a round of cards and then head to club activities, raised her hand and coughed lightly:

"Ahem."

"Since everyone has said so, I'll play too."

Natsume Ruri turned her head and asked Natsume Chikage:

"Aren't you joining, Brother?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui nodded happily in agreement:

"Mm-hmm, there's plenty of time anyway, let's play together, we can write the literary journal after playing."

Xiyuanji Qilai also agreed with a smile:

"Yes."

Xuecun Lingyin coughed lightly again, her gaze glancing elsewhere:

"Well, you've been writing for so long, it's fine to take a break."

Natsume Chikage actually didn't care.

He lowered his head and teased Nanio in his arms gently with his fingertips.

"Xiaobai, if you meow once, I'll play."

The sleeping Nanio's ears moved, as if sensing something.

It truly, in its daze, let out a soft, delicate "meow."

Everyone present was stunned.

Immediately, laughter rang out.

"It seems Xiaobai wants Brother to play too."

"Hee hee, that's perfect."

"Great, let's play together!"

Xuecun Lingyin liked that ball of snow-white more and more as she watched, whispering:

"Such a well-behaved, smart little cat..."

Natsume Chikage smiled:

"Mm, then let's play for a little while."

And so.

The Monopoly game officially began.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui rubbed her hands happily:

"Since that's the case, I'll go first."
