Chapter 7 (2/2)
”Well…” Of course, I did not sit down Instead, I frowned and looked at the person suspiciously ”Do you know me?”
The man put down the teacup and stared at me for a few seconds before a smile appeared on his face, ”Not at all”
The sentence made me so uy doing?! Why did you pretend to be so polite, doing all sorts of things like greetingtea, if you didn't even know me? As I was about to say auze curtain and a black cat strode out gracefully
”Coo!”
I grittedthis little bastard that had run all over for bringing e place
”Is this your cat?” The man bent over and picked up the cat That bad-tempered cat was actually very quiet in his arms and even started to meow in satisfaction
”No It's not” I clarified at once ”It's uy runs around all over the place I accidentally ran in here because I was searching for him I'm really sorry”
”Why the need to apologize?” The ently caressed the fur on the back of the cat ”What's your name?”
”Ah? Gu Yu” I answered subconsciously ”Gu as in 'take care', and Yu as in 'feather'”
”Gu Yu” The man slowly repeated my name once All of a sudden, a serous to tell your naer so carelessly”
What? I was puzzled ”But aren't naers? Who would emphasize their name over and over to a friend?”
”That er, it has to be a trustworthy stranger at least, right?” He looked at htfully ”Gu Yu, do you trust me?”
Why did this person keep saying weird things to me? Alerted by his questions, I took half a step back I didn't knohether to nod or to shake my head
”Then let me introduce myself first” The iven name confidential for now, but my family name is Wen You can call me Mr Wen”
Mr Wen took the seat in the center of the rooently and asked, ”So, what's your request?”
What's my request? I waved my hands at once, ”Well, I think youfor the cat Since I've already found the cat, I'll leave right away!”
”Accidentally?” Mr Wen pressed his finger against his chin and looked atas an 'accident' in this world Cats will eat fish Fishes will swim Water will flow to lower places All of these are 'certain' outcos, disputes, trust, and betrayal between people—none of the in this world has its own rules and reasons Speaking from this perspective, the fact that you have walked in here and met me is not an 'accident' Or let me put it in another way, you could not have walked into this store 'accidentally' without some reason in your mind”
”Wait amore and more confused
”Soht?” Mr Wen's eyes were blazingly sharp
The sentence pierced my heart like a sharp arrow
A smile appeared on Mr Wen's face as he asked, ”By the way, did you notice the wooden plaque above the door before you ca written on it?”
I beca on it”
Mr Wen raised his chin and replied, ”How about you go to the entrance and take another look?”
”Even if I look at it again…”
