Chapter Nineteen: The Real Parvenu Hamster (1/2)

Yan Jin picked up a necklace that was on the table, slid the golden walnut through the chain, and hung it around Xiao Yu’s neck.

When Xiao Yu looked down, he could easily see that golden walnut. The walnut was small in the first place, and with its insides hollowed out, it was not heavy at all. He could easily lift it up with his paws.

Chu Ge, who had the tendency to sport his filthy mouth, decided to make inappropriate comments at this decent occasion: “Don’t accidentally swallow that thing. Otherwise, not even god can save you.”

“The measurements were appropriately made, it can’t be eaten,” Yan Jin replied as he took out another chain in his hand to compare to the one on Xiao Yu’s neck. He asked, “Which one’s more suitable?”

“What’s the difference? The colors almost look the same, all whitish-looking.”

The ex-designer, Xiao Yu, shot a despicable gaze towards Chu Ge. By differentiating the materials just by their color, one could tell with a glance that he was an amateur outsider.

“One is silver embedded with diamonds, and the other is platinum.”

Chu Ge really couldn’t tell the difference, but he thought for a moment and asked cleverly, “Is there platinum embedded with diamonds?”

“There is.”

Yan Jin then picked that said piece of chain from the whole bundle of chains.

In the end, Xiao Yu received a costly golden walnut necklace, matching gold with silver. At first glance, he looked like a parvenu hamster.

Or should he say, a hamster owned by a parvenu.

Xiao Yu’s gaze towards Yan Jin became slightly complicated. He did not expect Yan Jin’s taste to be so bad. As an ex-chief designer, Xiao Yu’s current outfit was unbearable to look at.

Hence, without any hesitation, Xiao Yu mercilessly shook his body and swung the necklace away.

Chu Ge did not hold back his laughter as he commented, “Hey, it seems like your Fishy doesn’t like it that much.”

Yan Jin replied solemnly, “He probably feels uncomfortable with the necklace around. I wonder if a harness would work better.”

“Who the hell puts a harness on a hamster?” Chu Ge replied.

Earlier, Xiao Yu saw that the table was scattered with a whole bunch of chains and little gold rings. It was just that he did not realize that those were for him to use.

He did not want to become a parvenu hamster at all. He thought that he looked good in his ‘fur coat’, so there was no need for other accessories.

Yet he did not expect for Yan Jin to be such a determined person who would not give up. Despite the fact that Xiao Yu did not cooperate with him at all, Yan Jin continued to hold up chain pieces one after another as he tried to find and match the appropriate ones. In the end, Xiao Yu surrendered to Yan Jin’s perseverance when Yan Jin picked the most inexpensive chain that was an adjustable red band. Xiao Yu did not tug the walnut off like he previously did before.

Yan Jin heaved a sigh of relief, then said something that Xiao Yu could not immediately understand: “This way you won’t get lost.”

As Xiao Yu thought about it, he finally understood what Yan Jin meant. This hollowed walnut probably had a GPS installed inside it.

No wonder Yan Jin was so determined to put the walnut on him.

Xiao Yu suddenly recalled the time when he was picked up by Yan Jin. He wondered if Yan Jin still remembered what happened back then, after Xiao Yu fell off the kitchen table and became a wet and dirty hamster – how Yan Jin wanted to ignore him yet ended up taking him in. Now, Yan Jin even tagged a GPS onto this hamster that he had picked up.

Not that it was touching – he was a cute thing and hence all this was meant to be – but Yan Jin’s concern did affect Xiao Yu.

No one would dislike being cared and concerned for.

These few days, Xiao Yu had been anxiously waiting for that mysterious designer to appear, while he considered if he should get himself involved in the events that were about to happen.

Initially, he always wanted to exact revenge on Yan Jin. But now, he knew very well that Yan Jin was not responsible for the plagiarism incident.

Although the memory of getting told off by Yan Jin still made his heart tremble in anger, at least Yan Jin had his reasons. So now, Xiao Yu was no longer resentful towards Yan Jin.

When he successfully logged in to human Xiao Yu’s QQ account, he once thought of telling the human Xiao Yu the entire truth to warn him to be careful of the people around him. Or maybe he could directly tell Yan Jin that Lin Zhou was a liar and that the drafts that he presented hadall been stolen. Yan Jin could just conduct a search and the truth would be revealed.

But now, he no longer had such thoughts.

Because if he did that, first, he could not guarantee that the human Xiao Yu would believe his words. Knowing himself, he regarded his senior as his benefactor, and hence he would not tolerate a single bad comment about his senior. Second, by doing that, he would be affecting the upcoming competitions between YL and SI. The moment YL lost, the ultimate winner that would win would not be the human Xiao Yu, but Lin Zhou instead.

Regardless of whether it was because of the care that he received from Yan Jin during this period of time or because of his hatred towards Lin Zhou, Xiao Yu would not make such choices now.

This whole incident was indeed an interesting matter. After going around in circles, Xiao Yu realized that not interfering would probably lead to the best outcome.

Despite plotting everything so meticulously, Lin Zhou still did not obtain a single benefit – that was his biggest retribution. As for Yan Jin gaining assistance from the mystery designer that allowed YL to powerfully overtake SI – that was Xiao Yu paying back his gratitude towards Yan Jin.

The only person he had let down was himself, the human Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu swatted the golden walnut hanging on his neck and successfully saw a change in Yan Jin’s expression.

“Fishy, stop messing around.” Chairman Yan carefully tightened the red band.

Watching Yan Jin’s nervous reactions, the last bit of unwillingness in Xiao Yu gradually dwindled away.
