In the apartment in Century Town.
He Zheng was lying on the sofa, his stomach rumbling, but there was still no call coming in. He went somewhat angry. Never had he stood hungry for so long. 'God damn you, Li Zong!'
He was just about to call Li Zong to give him a prod when the sound of a key turning in the lock came. He instantly became wary and twisted his head back.
Li Zong was holding a white cat with yin-yang pupils in one arm and carrying the takeouts for He Zheng with the other hand. Since He Zheng was light-complexioned, the wary expression on his face made him seem somewhat adorable. Li Zong unnoticeably curved his lips, took off his shoes and walked inside.
”Don't be nervous. It's me.”
He Zheng cast a glance at the cat in his arms. Li Zong noticed this and asked, ”You're not allergic to cats, are you?”
”No.” He Zheng tightened his lips and then mumbled in a low voice, ”My mother liked cats.”
”The cat is very cute.” He Zheng walked to the dinner table, drew a chair from beneath the table and sat down directly with no intention to give Li Zong a hand, as if he were a master.
After Li Zong entered, a couple of others followed him inside, among whom Zu Zhichong was the only one who had once come into contact with He Zheng. Grinning cheekily, Zu Zhichong called, ”Greetings, sister-in-law!”
He Zheng squinted at Zu Zhichong and replied in a somewhat threatening tone of voice, ”Call me that again and I'll make you regret it.”
Having never expected that He Zheng would respond so aggressively, Zu Zhichong gasped in fear and said aggrievedly, ”Okay, okay. I won't call you that again. You get angry so easily.”
”I do, so don't mess with me. I have a bad temper.” He Zheng rolled his eyes.
People behind Li Zong walked into the dining room one after another. Apart from Zu Zhichong, there were also a man and a woman. He Zheng noticed that the woman had been secretly sizing him up all along, the look in her eyes a trifle unfriendly.
”They're members of my group.”
The first action group of SMB was fairly famous and He Zheng had heard about it a couple of times before.
Li Zong said, ”We have a task tonight, and it'll be more convenient for us to get the job done if they come to my place. Sorry for not having informed you beforehand.”
He Zheng said nothing. Ignoring those people, he took the takeouts from Li Zong's hand and started eating.
Seeing that He Zheng made no response to Li Zong, the woman beside Li Zong knitted her brows and observed fairly unhappily, ”Chief is talking to you. You should at least have the courtesy to make a reply. This is so...”
