Chapter 55: Do You Believe in Love?

A gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall…

Avoiding danger was a biological instinct.

Whether yokai, animals, or humans, it was naturally the same.

Instinct could be temporarily suppressed, but it was just like an alcoholic quitting drinking.

They could quit for a while, but upon smelling the scent of alcohol, they would still be tempted.

The black cat didn’t think emotions.

Could truly resist it.

“Love?”

A murmuring voice sounded.

It wasn’t Wang Jia, but Luo Yunzhi.

The black cat raised her head.

“It really does seem a lot like love.”

The girl blinked.

Under Bai Ziyu’s slightly confused gaze, she murmured.

“These two girls… is it because their lives aren’t going well?”

“But it should be fine.”

She suddenly continued.

“After all, love is always something that makes people blind.”

After hearing this sentence.

The black cat fell silent.

“Meow.”

(So boring.)

Luo Yunzhi was probably right.

However, Bai Ziyu’s interpretation of this sentence was that physiologically, falling in love caused hormones to be produced in the body.

And because of the large amount of hormones, thinking ability would sharply decline.

That was why people became blind.

In this way, instinct could be temporarily suppressed.

But the black cat wasn’t optimistic.

So-called love?

If love could truly last, then there wouldn’t be so many people divorcing in this world.

In the end, it was just impulses caused by hormones.

Bai Ziyu had already reached a conclusion.

This pair of lovers had to be separated.

But whether yokai, as creatures, were subject to human laws was unknown.

Anyway, if they were forced to live together, sooner or later something life-threatening would happen.

As for what would be done at that time…

The black cat yawned.

She felt no interest.

“Love?”

Another exclamation sounded.

It wasn’t Wang Jia this time.

It was the short-haired girl.

“You mean… I, I fell in love with this guy, squeak?”

She pointed at herself, then pointed at the long-haired girl.

Her face was full of disbelief.

“No, that’s impossible, squeak. This is absolutely impossible!”

Wang Jia didn’t answer her.

She only turned her head and looked at the long-haired girl.

“Hey, do you think your relationship is like that?”

The long-haired girl was stunned at first.

Then she fell into thought.

“I don’t know, meow.”

She shook her head.

“My feelings toward her.”

The long-haired girl turned to look at the short-haired girl.

Then she raised her hand and gently touched the other party’s cheek.

The short-haired girl trembled as if shocked by electricity.

She wanted to slap her hand away, but in the end couldn’t bear to.

She endured her unease and silently accepted it.

The long-haired girl swallowed.

She had to admit that besides appetite, there was actually a kind of naive emotion budding there.

She suddenly felt flustered.

She withdrew her hand and bit her lip, stammering.

She didn’t understand what was wrong with her.

What exactly was this emotion?

In the end, she sighed.

And fell silent.

“Ah, how troublesome.”

Without any concealment, seeing that she couldn’t get an answer from the long-haired girl, Wang Jia very distressedly grabbed her own hair.

She messed up her hair into a bird’s nest.

Then, with this bird’s nest on her head, she looked at the short-haired girl.

“Do you have anything to add?”

“No, nothing, squeak.”

“Then leave.”

“Huh? Meow?”

The woman’s words clearly stunned them.

“But our matter is still…”

The short-haired girl seemed to want to ask more.

But Wang Jia was already impatient.

She waved her hand and made a shooing motion.

“You two go back and think about it first. Whether you live together or not doesn’t matter.”

“Three days later, come back again. If you still haven’t figured it out…”

She paused at this point.

But both girls understood.

They would be forcibly.

Separated.

***

After those two girls left, only the two people and the cat remained in the office.

Wang Jia leaned back and lay down, supported by the boss chair.

She took off her glasses and pressed her brow.

Then she subconsciously pulled out a cigarette case, but suddenly stopped and stuffed the cigarette case back into her pocket.

She had almost forgotten.

There was still a child here.

“Little Luo, what do you think?”

The woman straightened up a bit and asked Luo Yunzhi.

“Did you hear anything from all this?”

Luo Yunzhi seemed not to have expected that she would actually be asked by this black-hearted boss.

She was stunned for half a second.

“Um, which aspect are you referring to?”

“It’s these two… what do you think their final choice will be?”

She spoke casually, as if very relaxed.

“Anyway, it’s just us here. You’ve also heard the entire process. Just say whatever.”

Wang Jia picked up the pen, seemingly preparing to record.

Luo Yunzhi hesitated for a bit.

But still answered.

“They won’t separate.”

“Why?”

“Because of love.”

“Ha? Love?”

The woman seemed to find this very funny.

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“This kind of thing is so unreliable.”

She tugged at the corner of her mouth.

Because… although the cat-and-mouse situation was very rare, looking at all the cases she and her colleagues had handled…

It wasn’t unique.

At least there were similar ones.

For example, a few years ago, there was a dog yokai and a sheep yokai.

Their relationship looked very close to outsiders.

They were said to be very good friends.

A sheepdog and a sheep.

As for the final result… hehe.

The dog, which hadn’t been completely domesticated, awakened its instinct.

That sheep was truly eaten clean by the other party.

When the combat department arrived, only blood remained.

Afterward, that dog was processed.

The file was sealed.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

“Work is really troublesome.”

Wang Jia propped up her face and silently stared at the pen in her hand.

Their job, at least for now, was to keep ordinary people from knowing.

However, they were indeed trying.

The girl was one such attempt.

Letting the other party participate in cases… although the other party couldn’t hear the actual truth, after more exposure, she would also develop some resistance.

When the truth was finally revealed, it wouldn’t be so abrupt.

After cultivating this generation, they would let this generation pass it down.

Slowly cultivate the next generation of ordinary people.

As long as it increased step by step.

The speed wouldn’t be slow.

“Unreliable?”

Seemingly unable to understand, Luo Yunzhi looked at the woman.

There was a bit more curiosity in her eyes.

The other party’s current appearance was as if she had experienced a lot.

“Is she a scumbag girl?”

The girl bit her lip.

There was a bit more disgust in her feeling.

“I didn’t expect her to not only be black-hearted, but also rotten at relationships.”

This was understandable.

After all, Wang Jia… what she showed was exactly this kind of appearance.

Although she was mistaken, for the time being no one explained.

Anyway, the impact wasn’t big.

No one cared.

“Whatever. I don’t care about her.”

She shook her head.

Luo Yunzhi seemed to remember something.

She lowered her head and leaned close to the black cat’s ear again.

The black cat seemed to sense it.

She raised her head and even bumped into the girl’s chin.

She meowed, then had no choice but to obediently lie back on the lap.

The black cat’s ears moved.

Luo Yunzhi seemed to have something to say to her.

She slightly narrowed her eyes, but maintained a listening posture.

“Little White, do you believe in love?”

“Meow?”

(Huh… what?)
