Chapter One Hundred and Ten: Omen (2/2)

Chu Ge had been standing in that mirage for far too long. He could not remove himself from it and had blended in as one.

Since it was a rare occasion, Yan Jin opened two bottles of red wine.

Xiao Yu watched blankly for a long while and only received a little drop that was the size of a fingernail, held in a bottle cap.

This was already an exception made by Yan Jin. He had memorized a hamster’s diet and liquor was definitely a prohibited drink.

“Cheers.”

Xiao Yu pouted as he could not taste anything out of it. His face had ‘aggrieved’ written all over it.

Yan Jin and Chu Ge began chucking down glass after glass. In the end, they flipped the bottle around to find it emptied.

However –

When the last drop of cool liquid fell, Xiao Yu, who had been watching, immediately charged over to catch the drop with his mouth.

*Burp*

Xiao Yu rubbed his stomach contently and seemed to be a little weird.

After all, he still did not taste anything.

Chu Ge, who was watching the whole incident, was already laughing out loud.

When the clock struck twelve times, it signaled that a new year had begun.

“Happy new year.” That was Yan Jin.

“Happy new year.” That was Chu Ge.

“Squeakk.” That was Xiao Yu.

……

If Xiao Yu had not existed, the year end holidays would no doubt be Yan Jin’s longest vacation of the year. But after Xiao Yu had appeared, Chairman Yan’s character image had already changed completely and he no longer cared about such details.

He just had to turn down a few contracts to enjoy a holiday.

He could get more free time by finding people to help him out.

To Yan Jin, the year end holidays were no longer considered a long holiday. Instead, he could come up with a short vacation trip. For example, they could visit Country M, Country Y, Country A, Country X, Country F, etc.

When Yan Jin prepared a long list of vacation itineraries and went to ask Xiao Yu for his opinion –

“Squeakk.” Vacation? Nope.

Xiao Yu controlled his character as he went on a killing spree without even looking back.

“Fishy, this is not good for you.” Yan Jin said gloomily: “At this rate, you’re becoming a couch-hamster².”

“Squeakk?” Have you ever seen a hamster who isn’t a couch-hamster?

Yan Jin’s words were like a joke to him. As a pet, what was wrong with being confined indoors? Other domesticated dogs and cats are not guaranteed a chance for a daily walk, much less a hamster like him who did not need to be walked. A hamster like him, who did not need to stay inside his cage, was definitely a special exception.

A one of a kind exception.

“You really don’t want to go on a trip?”

“Squeakk.” More real than the gold that you give me every month.

Xiao Yu was in fact speechless. Four Seasons Manor was at least Yan Jin’s own territory where he could do whatever he liked. But in Yan Jin’s plans, Country M, Country Y, Country X, Country F –

What kind of short trips were those? Those were overseas trips, so how could they be considered ‘short trips’? He must be mad.

Leaving the country was one thing. Even if they were to travel within the country, no one would bring their hamster out for a vacation. Xiao Yu simply could not image what it would look like. How were they going to play at the attraction sites? Was Yan Jin going to put him in his pocket or hold him on his palm? Or perhaps he would bring the carrier along wherever he went?

Yan Jin may have been thick-skinned, but Xiao Yu was not.

“But you promised two days ago. That’s why I looked up more information.” Yan Jin looked really upset: “You’re being unreasonable by going back on your words.”

After all, Yan Jin had been taken advantage of once while planning vacations. This time around, he planned to make detailed checks before he began planning.

Xiao Yu was shocked at how Yan Jin falsely accused him: “Squeakk?” When did I promise you?

“Two days ago, when we played games on the couch in the afternoon.” Yan Jin thought about it and reminded: “It was the first time I got a five-kill streak and even sent you a screenshot of it.”

“…… Squeakkk.” Maybe I was too engrossed in my game, so I agreed on a whim. That doesn’t count.

Xiao Yu lowered his head and continued his game.

Yan Jin sat down beside Xiao Yu in despair as he pitifully took out his cell phone and opened the game app: “I’ll play with you in the next match.”

Forget about it, there was nothing wrong with playing games.

“Squeak.” Okay.

Xiao Yu answered half-heartedly.

……

It was no big deal if he had forgotten about the vacation trips.

But he had no memory of Yan Jin’s five-kill streak.
