Chapter Seventy-Four: Jewelry Case (2/2)

And those thoughts included subconsciously shirking responsibilities because Xiao Yu had already realized that he was the main reason why the Autumn Release Conference this time had turned out like this. If only he had not been so pleased with himself that he lost his senses. After producing Moonlit Manacles, he even designed the killer weapon, Jade Court, changing the storyline of the previous life. Maybe if he had not done that, SI wouldn’t be so miserable.

But if it wasn’t for Yan Jin stirring him up all the time, he wouldn’t have decided to help YL. If Yan Jin had not brought him to the Four Seasons Manor, he wouldn’t have lost control over his desire to design and create such a masterpiece on a whim. If it wasn’t because Yan Jin had pestered him yesterday night asking this and that, maybe he wouldn’t have given that perfect exhibition proposal to Yan Jin for free.

Which meant that Yan Jin was to be blamed. It was all his fault.

Xiao Yu grouchily bit the melon seed into pieces as he threw them into his mouth and made a decision – he would not let Yan Jin off easily this time.

Then again, speaking of which…

Today was the third day that Yan Jin was not around.

Xiao Yu looked at the peeled walnuts and melon seeds that were on top of a tissue not too far away from him. He raised his paw and threw a melon seed over to the pile.

Hn, that is not used to calculate how many times I thought about Yan Jin over the past two days.

Hn, Yan Jin definitely did not think of me. He didn’t even say much last night, and there were no messages at all today.

Hn, if only Yan Jin came home right now. Then I’ll reluctantly forgive him.

Not only that, he must bring along a cake.

Don’t think I’ve forgotten about it. Tomorrow is the fifteenth. Yan Jin made a promise to celebrate his birthday every month on this day. And the fifteenth of this month just happened to occur during the Autumn Release Conference. He wanted to use that as an excuse? No way.

Although that was what Xiao Yu thought, he was very clear that with Yan Jin’s identity and personality, Yan Jin had to be there to hold the fort for important events like the Autumn Release Conference. Especially when Yan Jin was that kind of cautious and conscientious chairman. Even Zhou Jinrong, who rarely bothered himself over SI’s trifle matters, would definitely be at the scene if he had not been sent to the ER.

The meaning behind the Autumn Release Conference was too significant. Things like pets probably wouldn’t be within consideration.

Although Xiao Yu did feel disappointed knowing that Yan Jin would not make it back in time by tomorrow, he was still willing to be understanding.

Sigh, what a sensible and understanding hamster I am.

…… That big meanie Yan Jin.

Xiao Yu watched the Autumn Release Conference’s live broadcast as he thought about these random things.

Then, the guest room suddenly opened. Chu Ge walked out carrying his bag, dressed in a warm colored leisure suit, looking pretentious, yet dangerously handsome.

At first glance, Chu Ge did look like someone who was successful in life – no wonder he could change girlfriends every other day.

Xiao Yu immediately came to a conclusion.

This sort of scumbag was simply… making people jealous of him.

Xiao Yu, who had been single for twenty-five years and also far away from leaving singlehood suddenly felt himself shrinking².

“Squeak?” Where are you going?

Xiao Yu typed his question on the iPad.

“I’m going back.” Chu Ge replied like it was to be expected: “It’s already this time. Isn’t City H right next to to us? Today’s weather was great. The plane wasn’t late either. He should almost be here by now.”

“Squeakk?”

Xiao Yu only planned to ask casually, but Chu Ge’s answer really confused him.

He’s going back, back where? Didn’t Yan Jin ask him to stay back and take care of me? And plane? What has it got to do with a plane?

Xiao Yu was baffled.

“Eh? Yan Jin never told you?” Chu Ge saw Xiao Yu’s reaction and realized something. It was just that the realization surprised him a little.

Xiao Yu shook his head.

“Oh, then I shall not reveal further.” Chu Ge instantly understood that Yan Jin was obviously planning to give Xiao Yu a surprise. He shall not destroy the human and hamster interaction that made onlookers green with envy.

“Squeakkkk???” Xiao Yu had a face full of confusion. As a hamster, his current expression was as expressive as an emoticon encyclopedia.

“Alright, alright. I’m leaving. See you next time.” When Chu Ge finished his sentence, he was already at the front door. He quickly put on his shoes and left. With a swift slam of the door, he closed it without any hesitation.

The sudden silent living room left Xiao Yu at a complete loss.

Wait, what happened? Did Chu Ge leave just like that? That’s so irresponsible.

Was it because I’ve been pushing him around these two days, or maybe because I went to complain to Yan Jin and that made Chu Ge angry?

…… No way, Chu Ge just went out to buy something. He will be back soon.

Xiao Yu still didn’t understand a thing when he heard the sound of the door unlocking. It seemed as if that just proved his suspicion.
