Chapter 367 Dinner (1/2)
Xing Han pointedly did not look at the Thing that walked by. He focused his attention on Kyle, smiling and joking as normal. However, his eyes did follow the Thing's movements in his peripheral vision because you know, he had to be vigilant.
The Thing was sneaky.
As Nitocris walked past and headed for the kitchen, a ghost of a smile on his face appeared.
Oh, could his little puppy be any more cuter? The way he sat there, pretending not to notice him walking by but those cute little brown eyes following him.
”Nitocris, dear, what are you doing here?” asked Rheia, upon seeing her beloved son entering, ”Dinner will be ready soon. Go join your brother and friends in the living room.”
Nitocris gave her a gentle smile and took the dish that she had scooped into the serving plate. He bent down a bit and kissed her on the forehead, saying, ”I can help with this much, at least.”
Nitocris greeted Master Shifu with a slight nod of his head, ”Father.”
Master Shifu nodded in acknowledgment, ”Nitocris. Your mother is right. You've just got back from work. Freshen up, at least.”
”I will, Father,” Nitocris replied, then went out to put the dish on the table.
May smiled pleasantly at him and was setting the table, her big belly looking like a ripe watermelon ready to burst.
Nitocris gave May a slight hug and rubbed her belly, ”Be good, little one.”
May smiled wider, ”He's been very good, Brother Nitocris. Your godson is good and strong.”
Nitocris smiled, then walked back to the kitchen. He talked a while before heading to his room to freshen up a bit.
Meanwhile, back at the living room, Xing Han saw the entire scene in surprise. He had never seen such a kind look on Nitocris's face before, nor show such gentle care and administration to other people.
Well, he was Kyle's 'brother', so to speak, so he couldn't be that bad but still! When he remembered the way Nitocris looks at him smugly, and the way he always monopolized Kyle's attention as he did so, he couldn't help but feel agitated.
Xing Han decided to ignore the Thing for real this time and turned to interrogate Kyle, ”What was that all about? The snapping up and flipping over sofa whooosh whoosh thing?”
”Whoosh whoosh?” Kyle asked, while trying very hard to hold back his laughter.
”Well, ye-ah! I mean, you got up so fast and jumped over like the wind. Whoosh whoosh!” Xing Han explained, looking at Kyle as if it was so obvious.

”Oh, that?” Kyle said, waving his hand dismissively, ”Thought I felt something. It was nothing, so forget it.”
Xing Han nodded, fully accepting the explanation.
Kay, too, had felt the killer aura and looked inquisitively at Kyle. Her senses weren't as sharp as Kyle so she could not determine where it came from. All she felt was the sudden increase in the feeling of 'danger'.
Kyle shrugged [It's nothing. It came and left very quickly, so it is highly unlikely that whatever - or whoever - it was, poses any danger. Master Shifu is also here and he didn't react]
