Chapter 9: Fishy’s iPad (2/2)
What the hell?
Xiao Yu quickly gave up on thinking about this meaningless question. Knowing that his human self was still alive with no way to return, any wrong move might cause him to end up losing his life again. That was not worth it. After all, such illogical matters had already happened, and Xiao Yu really dared not try to look for a logical answer.
He was still alive now. Even if he had become a hamster, he was at least still alive, and that was good enough.
Soon, Yan Jin took out a few dishes as he saw the hamster staring sternly at the iPad on the table, which prompted him to walk closer. When Xiao Yu was using the iPad, he paid extra attention to the movements in the kitchen. When he saw Yan Jin from the corner of his eyes, he quickly closed the website and randomly tapped around.
“You like this thing?” Yan Jin raised his eyebrow, “I can give it to you.”
Xiao Yu absolutely did not feel happy. Instead of believing that Yan Jin suddenly turned generous, he was more inclined to believe that when someone begins to show kindness without reason or cause, he must have conducted something evil or obscene.
Indeed, Yan Jin revealed an evil expression in the next second, “But you have to think of a way to get it.”
Yan Jin raised the iPad into the air and Xiao Yu quickly dashed to grab it, but with a short lift from Yan Jin’s hand, the edge of the iPad was out of reach. After jumping several times, Xiao Yu ended up in complete failure.
Watching Yan Jin’s delighted expression, the displeasure in Xiao Yu’s heart instantly shot upwards. Evil grew from the side of the bravery – he quickly ran forward and used all his strength for a jump. He opened his mouth and aimed for Yan Jin’s finger.
Bam.
Yan Jin released his hand in shock, not expecting Xiao Yu to make a feint as he did not even touch his sleeve, as he quickly dodged it. The iPad landed back onto the coffee table. Xiao Yu dashed and jumped on it as if showing off that he was the winner.
“That’s too smart of you…” Yan Jin looked unbelievably as he poked Xiao Yu, “Did you become a spirit?”
Xiao Yu shook his head – of course, he hadn’t become a spirit, he was more advanced than a spirit — he had been reborn.
Yan Jin sighed again as he took a marker pen out of nowhere, flipped open the cover, and took the iPad out from underneath Xiao Yu.
“Relax, I’m not snatching it from you. I’m leaving a mark.”
Xiao Yu scooted over and saw Yan Jin writing on the casing –
Fishy’s iPad.
Never did he think that Yan Jin would keep his word, or rather, why would Yan Jin really give an iPad to a hamster? Xiao Yu surprisingly felt a bit touched.
But this touching moment only lasted until the end of lunch.
The visitor sat on the sofa with a shocked expression as he saw the words scribbled on the cover of the iPad.
Chu Ge almost wept blood and tears as he complained, “Yan Jin, are you crazy?!”
“What’s wrong with me?” Yan Jin replied candidly without a tinge of guilt, “I haven’t even investigated the matter of you coming here without permission to ask for a meal.”
“I came here without permission? When I came here this morning, you already left the house. Didn’t I send a message to you that I’ll be coming here in the afternoon?”
Yan Jin replied with a sudden realization: “Oh, is that so…”
“Yes, yes, I’ve told you before.”
“I agreed?” Yan Jin blinked his eyes: “Plus, how did you know I was not going to be out for the whole day?”
Done.
Watching Yan Jin’s seemingly smiling expression, Chu Ge choked on his words. He literally choked. He ran into the kitchen and gulped down a glass of water before he got back to his seat in distress.
Completely stripped from the imposing manner from earlier, he suddenly felt terrified like a coward.
Looking at Chu Ge’s guilty and stupified expression, Yan Jin snorted coldly.
Seeing that things had fallen through, Chu Ge mustered his courage and replied reluctantly: “It’s really not my fault, you’re the only son of the Yan family. Everyone’s worried. If anything happened to you then…”
Seeing how Yan Jin was still indifferent, Chu Ge immediately begged for forgiveness: “The tracking device is installed on your mobile phone. I’ve only used the location tracking function, I swear. I’ve only used it a few times. Plus, I’m here to generously give you things.”
“That’s straightforward honesty.” Yan Jin replied with profound ambiguity: “Do you know why I did not change my phone for the past three years?”
Chu Ge immediately got the meaning, and his heart started racing instantly.
Yan Jin probably knew about this matter long ago. In order not to let his family create trouble for him, he purposefully revealed this Achilles heel for them to hold on to. As per Chu Ge’s understanding of Yan Jin’s personality, this tracking device could only track down things that Yan Jin wanted the family to know.
When the immortals fight, mortals like him should not interfere at all.
Yan Jin waved his hands, and it looked like he was not that angry. Chu Ge heaved a sigh of relief and realized that something was not right.
“Wait, no matter what…” Chu Ge swept Xiao Yu away who was on top of the iPad and grudgingly said, “You can’t just give away my iPad just like that?”
“This thing was in my house. Naturally, it is mine. Now, it’s his.” Yan Jin pointed at Xiao Yu.
“Damn you, I left this behind in the morning…”
“Are you admitting that you’re trespassing?” Yan Jin replied apathetically.
It’s not like it had only been one or two days since Chu Ge had known Yan Jin, he rarely joked with anyone. Since he had spoken up to this point, Chu Ge understood the seriousness under the idle talk. He could only grit his teeth and swallow his words. It was just an iPad, he could treat it as giving Yan Jin a gift because of the years of friendship they had.
Giving it…. to Yan Jin’s hamster.
Chu Ge sullenly thought.
Xiao Yu who witnessed the entire event simply felt wowed in his heart.
To think that he felt grateful towards Yan Jin, and yet his end goal was to give Chu Ge a lesson. Giving him the iPad was a complimentary move.
