Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Four: Surveillance (1/2)

After Xiao Yu drank the witch’s secret brew version two and returned to his hamster form, Yan Jin firmly tucked Xiao Yu into his shirt pocket. He didn’t mind how dirty Xiao Yu was.

“*Squeeak*.” It’s too cramped in here.

Xiao Yu struggled to turn his little belly.

“Endure it for a bit. It’s safer to keep you close by.”

“*Squeak*.” Isn’t this a little too close though?

“No, this distance is perfect. If there’s a sniper on the opposite building, I’ll be able to instantly protect you.”

“……”

“……”

Xiao Yu didn’t have any response to Yan Jin’s delusions.

As he was sorting out his complicated thoughts, Xiao Yu sat in Yan Jin’s pocket as obediently as he could to avoid Yan Jin’s nervously trembling hand.

Despite his outward disdain, Xiao Yu’s heart felt warm at Yan Jin’s concern. It felt like it was happily blowing bubbles in a pool of honey.

*Sigh*. He didn’t expect Yan Jin to care so much.

If I knew this earlier, I wouldn’t have tried to scare him with this, Xiao Yu thought hypocritically.

“*Squeak*.” What are you going to do now?

“I’m just going to wait and see first,” Yan Jin said uncertainly. He closed all the other windows on his computer and restarted it. Then, he opened a secret program.

At that moment, nobody could have guessed how powerful Yan Jin’s “wait and see” could be.

When Xiao Yu saw Yan Jin bring up the live feed from the video camera inside the car with just a few clicks, Xiao Yu truly had to admire Yan Jin.

This was the difference between the truly rich and the noveau riche. The truly rich even had video cameras installed in their cars just for a situation like this.

“*Squeak*.” Why is this video camera’s angle so strange?

Xiao Yu didn’t really know how video cameras were traditionally installed. But, he could understand if it was pointed front-to-back, back-to-front, or even bottom-to-top. But, Yan Jin’s camera angle—

The angle was hard to describe. It was too slanted and positioned too low for any use. It seemed to be positioned on the seat looking outwards. From the computer screen, Xiao Yu could barely see anything aside from the abductor’s thigh, much less their faces.

What was even stranger was that there were three separate cameras, all positioned too low and slanted. Only the driver’s, senior abductor’s, and junior abductor’s thighs could be distinguished. There was also the empty passenger seat.

“Nope, this angle’s perfect,” Yan Jin said flatly. “You’re exactly this tall.”

“*SQUEEAAK!!*.” What the fuck is this bullshit?! I’m a tall guy at over 1.8 meters!

Yan Jin hid a smile. He looked down at Xiao Yu and grunted in agreement.

What the fuck? After a moment, Xiao Yu realized something.

Examining the monitor again, Xiao Yu found that that was actually the case.

The angle was far too low for a human, but for a hamster no longer than twenty centimeters, it would be quite accurate.

He’d actually thought Yan Jin having video cameras in his car was a mark of a truly rich person, but in the end, they were just for Yan Jin’s own perverted selfish desires.

For a moment, Xiao Yu recalled that his terror had been captured by Yan Jin’s eighteen video cameras during the car accident.

Thus, Xiao Yu began to protest randomly.

*Squeak squeak squeak*. You had eighteen cameras back then, and now you only have three. Do you not love me anymore?

“Stop causing trouble. The other fifteen haven’t been repaired after crashing into the railing. These delicate instruments are rather hard to repair.”

Xiao Yu: You win.

“Win what?” Yan Jin asked.

Xiao Yu: “…”

“*Squeak*.” You really win.

Xiao Yu lifelessly retreated inside Yan Jin’s pocket.

It was hopeless. This guy was too perverted.

“Hmm? Are you badmouthing me?” Yan Jin narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Yu had no choice but to climb out again. He grabbed Yan Jin’s finger, pretending to fawn, “*Squeak*.” How could I? I was so moved after seeing you care so much for me. *Kiss*.

“You little troublemaker. I can tell you’re not sincere.” Then, Yan Jin’s tone suddenly changed. “I’ll let you off just for today. I made a mistake first, so scold me all you want.”

“*Squeak*.” Save your breath. It’s too late for you to act pitiful.

Xiao Yu hugged Yan Jin’s hand and pressed his entire self into it.

“*Squeak*.” I like you.

“Mmm,” Yan Jin softly said.

For a while, they enjoyed each other’s company. Then, Xiao Yu thought of something else that was strange. It was still related to the video cameras.

“*Squeak*.” Were all the other fifteen cameras for hamster-watching too?

“That’s right.”

“*Squeak*.” That’s strange. Why didn’t you point them directly at me instead of the hamster? I don’t spend very much time as a hamster inside the car.

Yan Jin said with a straight face, “I wouldn’t do something that violates your privacy without your consent.”

“*Squeak*.” Please tell the truth.

“…The shorter the time, the more I should cherish it.”

Ever since his Fishy had turned into a human, Yan Jin could count the number of times Xiao Yu had resumed his hamster form on one hand. All of the playthings and the cage he’d purchased from various stores were useless now. They were all collecting dust in the trunk of the car.

Speaking of which, the game room on the second floor hasn’t been used for many months now, even though I’ve already bought all the mini-buildings, Yan Jin internally grumbled.
