He feels a little sadden by the sudden distance between them. He smiles gently, his smile so gentle that it sways her heart. “It’s alright, you’re welcome.” His voice is deep and attractive, Yin Ting feels her cheeks redden.

                          
Qiu Zheng Qing is so busy disguising his expression that he doesn’t notice Yin Ting’s embarrassment. He turns around and continues washing the dishes. In her mind, Yin Ting nags at herself for being so easily swayed and thinking too much. There’s nothing abnormal about a good-looking man making a woman’s heart quicken. But she has never noticed until now that he actually exudes the sexiness of a mature man.

                          
She steal glances at him. What a shame that such a fine man still has no girlfriend at his age. Aren’t modern women quite aggressive these days? How could they have let go this fine piece of meat?

                          
Qiu Zheng Qing can feel his back itching. His intuition tells him that there is someone staring at him. He can’t believe he has to pose while washing the dishes, this is really too difficult. He couldn’t hold back after a few minutes and turns around to check whether his intuition is right. But at the same time, Yin Ting’s phone rings. She opens her bag and fishes her phone out.

                          
“Oh you found a reliable foster shelter?” Yin Ting cries. She glances at him. He shakes his head at her, mouthing the words “no.” Her heart leaps with joy. To be honest, she selfishly wants to keep Da Da at his place as well. In her mind, there are no foster shelters more reliable than Qiu Zheng Qing. Of course, this is only an intuition. Based on logic, he has no experience in owning a cat and is usually not at home. He also keeps Da Da in a room. These conditions are not too good but she trusts him. After so many troubles trying to get the cat adopted, she no longer has much hope. If it’s up to her to make a choice, she chooses Qiu Zheng Qing.

                          
Now that there is a second option, she is happy that he still wants to keep the cat. She tells her friend, “I already found a place, I have no need for the shelter for now. Thank you.” They exchange a few more words, catching up with each other.

                          
The call seems to indicate that Da Da can stay and he also lets out a sigh of relief. Fortunately he has made the initiative, or else he would have missed out on this opportunity. Now that he has made his mental preparation, he doesn’t want to lose Da Da this “hostage.”

                          
She is still talking on the phone when she hears meowing again. She quickly tells her friend goodbye and hangs up. She runs into the room to check.

                          
Da Da is still the same, it cannot stay in the room alone. It quiets down when Yin Ting rubs its head. She feels a little helpless and tries to talk to it. The cat lays down by her feet with a content expression. When he walks into the room, this is the scene that he sees – a sweet and adorable girl stroking a little chubby cat, gently coaxing it.

                          
He absolutely doesn’t want to look away from such a sight.

                          
He never comes into this room. It’s an empty room, there’s nothing to see at all. His house is very big but it’s lonely and deserted. But now all of a sudden, there is an entirely different feeling. He once thought he wanted a life of efficiency and success. But now he wants a life with Yin Ting in it.

                          
“Do you want to touch it?” Yin Ting asks. She sits on the floor, smiling at him.

                          
“Okay.” He sits down beside her. Da Da immediately stands up and takes a step back, watching him with a cautious expression. His hand stops mid-air. He feels a little embarrassed. Seeing his expression, she tries to hide her smile. He sighs, “Oh alright. Let me try your trick.” He blinks at the cat a few times.

                          
Da Da has no reaction. It continues staring at him.

                          
“Slow down a little,” Yin Ting guides him. “Try winking a little more gently. That way, perhaps Da Da will think you’re kissing it. It’s the same with humans. Pinning someone to the floor and kissing them roughly is a completely different feeling from hugging someone and kissing them gently, right?”
