Chapter 27.03 (2/2)

Zheng Xie hang his head and asked: “She is back?”

“I went on a business trip over there. And then b.u.mp into her.”

“You did not tell me about your business trip.”

“I went in the morning and came back in the afternoon. Later, I forgot to tell you.”

“Okay. I know.” Zheng Xie no longer asked any further question.

Later, Yang Wei Qi explained: “We have recently received a case so I went to the orphanage located over there to look at evidence. And I met He He there. She has been volunteering to teach art cla.s.s for over a month. Then, we talked for a while.”

“Oh.”

“She looks good and the children particularly like her. She asked me to say h.e.l.lo on her behalf to you.”

Zheng Xie kept quiet and cough for a long time. Yang We Qi had to come and pat his back.

A silent Yang Wei Qi did not know what to say.

His alert cat, Xiao Bao is at the kitchen door pacing and sneaking around.

Zheng Xie will use his fingers to signal Xiao Bao over, then it will blatantly walk out of the kitchen. Then it rolled around under the table a few rounds, studied Yang Wei Qi’s slippers before finally settling down at Zheng Xie’s feet, separated by a distance of a few centimeters.

Although this week, Zheng Xie had been friendly, but he rarely hug Xiao Bao. Even if he did, the held it stiffly. Xiao Bao the cat is a smart cat. It knows how to judge a person’s expression. So even though it loves to be pampered, it dare not go overboard with Zheng Xie. Instead it will try to choose a different way to attract his attention.

Before Zheng Xie had dinner, he had stuffed Xiao Bao’s bowl with a lot of delicious food that seems enough for it to eat. But when he saw the fish, it gave a little whine, while starring at the table.

The next moment, Yang Wei Qi was stunned when Zheng Xie stooped his chopstick of fish directly into the cat’s mouth and very patiently watched it eating it. Then he finally pulled a piece of tissue and wipe its mouth.

Until Zheng Xie sat up straight, Yang Wei Qi was watching him astonished.

Zheng Xie extended the chopsticks back and embarrasely smiled while saying: “I will go and change another pair of chopsticks.” He gently kicked Xiao Bao indicating it to go away but Xiao Bao did not move.

Yang Wei Qi stood up: “I go and get a plate for Xiao Bao. It seems that it like the fish that I cooked. You need to change your chopsticks, right?”

She went to help Zheng Xie change a new pair of chopsticks, and also brought Xiao Bao’s plate. When she returned, she saw Xiao Bao hanging on to Zheng Xie’s leg of the pants while rolling around. Zheng Xie tossed Xiao Bao while trying to get rid of it, but resulting in Xiao Bao playing happily.

“Both of you seems to get along very well.” Yang Wei Qi said with a smile.

“It will go back next week.”

“If you like it, why don’t you just keep it.”

“I don’t like cats. I am just kind hearted.”

Zheng Xie did not wait for Yang Wei Qi to prepare the fish for Xiao Bao. He just held Xiao Bao by the neck and pulled it from his leg and throw it further away.

Yang Wei Qi uttered a cry, fearing that Xiao Bao will be hurt when it falls. But his strength is just right. Xiao Bao’s leg gently touch the ground. Not only it was not injured, there were no signs of it even being frightened, as if it is already used to this game.

Yang Wei Qi placed the plate containing the fish in front of Xiao Bao. But it ignored her and went under the cupboard refusing to come out. She placed the plate in front of the cupboard.

After the trouble with Xiao Bao the cat, the meal continued in silence. Because Zheng Xie’s voice is very hoa.r.s.e, it was very difficult for him to say every words. So Yang Wei Qi no longer make him talk.
