Chapter 8: You Are Not Alone (1/2)

Xiao Yu was originally moved by Yan Jin’s act of personally cooking for him. But those tiny touching moments now disappeared into thin air.

Seriously.

How horrible would this fellow be till he’s satisfied?

Xiao Yu still remembered what Yan Jin had said yesterday — the reason why he named him Fishy was because tomato-stewed fish was delicious.

Ahhhh, is toying with human hamster feelings that enjoyable?

Xiao Yu who had been toyed around with was pissed beyond words.

In fact, Xiao Yu really had misunderstood Yan Jin. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Yan Jin did mean it as a joke, it was probably to humor himself. Brushing aside the motive behind naming a hamster ‘Fishy’, even if he had named him ‘Kitty’, how would the average hamster have any thoughts on it?

Stewing the tomato that was also the ownership fund for Xiao Yu, even human Xiao Yu would need time to figure out the hidden meaning behind this matter, much less a hamster.

Noticing that Xiao Yu had suddenly stopped eating and lifted his head to look at him, Yan Jin naturally asked, “You’re full?”

Xiao Yu watched as Yan Jin reached his fingers towards him. Without a second thought, he launched himself forward for a bite.

Yan Jin did not expect Xiao Yu to have such a reaction; he almost got bitten. As he dodged Xiao Yu’s sharp teeth, he tried lifting him up from his back.

“What’s wrong? I shouldn’t stew your tomato?” Yan Jin resentfully withdrew his hand after several failed attempts. He awkwardly touched his nose, “That tomato can’t be left outside for too long, it’ll spoil.”

If you hadn’t bitten it, it wouldn’t have spoiled! Xiao Yu thought angrily, not realizing that his thoughts had already gone completely off-track.

He had sworn in his heart to never easily forgive Yan Jin for stewing his tomato. So, he turned on his back and faced Yan Jin with his butt.

That was an obvious expression of anger that made Yan Jin feel helpless. He wasn’t sure if Xiao Yu was ignoring him because the dish he cooked wasn’t tasty, or if he WAS angry because he had stewed that tomato. But seeing how Xiao Yu had been eating so heartily earlier, it doesn’t seem like it tasted bad. Which meant… he held a grudge because of that tomato?

Fifty seconds later, a chilled tomato fresh out of the refrigerator was placed in front of Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu turned back and looked at Yan Jin, so the person pushed that tomato right before his eyes.

That was an obvious attempt to please him, which made Xiao Yu feel like his series of actions fueled by his anger was indeed stupid.

He was not even a real hamster, why did he get angry over a stewed tomato?

After figuring out his thoughts, Xiao Yu pushed that tomato to the side and rubbed himself against Yan Jin’s hand as he laid down obediently.

Yan Jin watched as Xiao Yu calmed down, thinking that the new tomato had worked. He continued watching as Xiao Yu flattened himself into a hamster cake. He smoothed his fingers down his back: “It’s about time, let’s go.”

Go? Go where?

Not waiting for Xiao Yu to figure out where they were heading to, he was lifted off his meaty back in the next moment. That kind of transportation style was unpleasant, far from the incomparably comfortable feeling of lying on a palm. Xiao Yu, who initially struggled for a while, then became obediently very quickly.

Because he realized that Yan Jin was walking towards the door.

They were heading out! He unexpectedly had a chance to head out!

It would probably be better if he was a dog or a cat, that would mean that he could still be brought out after a few days for a walk. But Xiao Yu’s race meant that he would not have such treatment. Xiao Yu had long prepared his mind to stay in a small, dirty cage for the rest of his life. Never had he thought that after just one day that the cage would be destroyed, and he would even be brought outside!

Was this the legendary saying, ‘Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise’?

Xiao Yu’s mood became extremely pleasant because of this surprise. That feeling that was maxing out his happiness meter instantly reached its peak as Yan Jin placed him into a worldwide renowned, limited-edition Lamborghini.

There’s no man who doesn’t love cars, especially this type of one and only super luxury car.

Xiao Yu excitedly ran in circles on the front passenger seat; he even thought of hopping to the backseat to look around.

This was Chairman Yan’s designated vehicle that was also the dream lover of countless men and women. In the magazine [Spreading Fire], this vehicle had always appeared together with Yan Jin. Some of Xiao Yu’s female colleagues had even tried to sneak into the opponent’s company’s carpark to snag a selfie with this vehicle as if taking a photograph with it was like getting a chance to sit in it. Xiao Yu once saw it from afar as he suppressed that sour feeling, making a promise to himself that one day, he would sit inside that kind of car.

A designer was indeed an extremely lucrative career, especially for a chief designer. However, because of Xiao Yu’s young age, plus the time he had taken charge as a chief designer wasn’t long, paired with some special reasons, all of it led to a situation where the money he could actually use was in fact very limited. He originally thought that he would need several more years before he could have a chance to get close to such a car, but who would have guessed that an opportunity would have come so soon, so unexpectedly.

After getting into his car, Yan Jin felt troubled as he watched Xiao Yu acting unusually excited.

Was leaving Xiao Yu on the front passenger seat a safe decision? What if he needed to pull the emergency brake? Maybe he’d get thrown out. But leaving him on the back seat would be even more worrisome – he couldn’t look after him, and it was possible for him to climb into the car trunk.

He tried pulling the safety belt around Xiao Yu a few times but grumbled at the squeaking and almost got his fingers bitten.

As if under the influence of the devil, Yan Jin opened his mouth and asked, “Can you remain properly seated? I’ll drive slower. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to put you inside that cage.”

As soon as Xiao Yu heard that, he quickly nodded his head in agreement.

“Squeakkk.”

No problem.

Yan Jin remained silent for a while before he finally closed the door and entered from the other side.

Xiao Yu almost died from laughter. He really didn’t understand what this Chairman Yan was thinking – was there a need to have a discussion with a hamster? No wonder he couldn’t keep a pet for long.

After getting onto the road, the highway drive that would originally take around fifteen minutes, under Yan Jin’s deliberate slow driving, became extremely slow like the speed of a crawling tortoise as the vehicle behind honked countless times. Xiao Yu didn’t really pay attention to that. Although he had agreed to be nice and obedient, as soon as the car started moving, he couldn’t stay still any longer as he rubbed his body here and there. After all, this was a legendary Lamborghini –the seats were truly first-class.

But he soon quietly sat back down on the passenger seat, innocently curling into a spherical shape, pretending like he was behaving obediently.

The reason being, Yan Jin had been staring at him for two minutes.

DUUUUUU—–

Two red lights had passed, but the Lamborghini stayed still behind the line. Xiao Yu suspected that the person that had been honking crazily from behind was prepared to get down to wreck someone’s car.

No wait, the opponent was a Lamborghini, he’ll probably at most call the police.
