“If you believe in love?”
If this sentence had been said by a friend back when she was still human, she would have unhesitatingly given the other party a slap.
The black cat had no violent tendencies… it was just that this was truly a stupid question.
Who would believe in love?
What use did this kind of thing have?
Bai Ziyu rolled over.
She looked at the girl.
“Meow?”
(Are you in heat?)
“Meow?”
(Puberty?)
The black cat’s face was full of strangeness.
However, thinking about it carefully, Luo Yunzhi was now sixteen years old and right in the middle of puberty.
So having this kind of thought was actually normal.
It was just that the other party was so busy, and previously at school she had also observed that the girl was almost completely isolated by her class.
Sometimes Bai Ziyu found it hard to imagine how the other party maintained such an optimistic mindset.
However, the other party was also inexplicably pretending to be ugly at school.
Everything about her was strange.
It was simply incomprehensible.
“Hey… what the heck.”
Luo Yunzhi used her finger to lightly poke the black cat’s head.
She was a bit displeased.
“I always feel like you didn’t say anything nice.”
Although she couldn’t understand, she could roughly guess the meaning.
However, she couldn’t bear to hit her.
She only tugged at her cat whiskers again.
“This is punishment~”
The girl giggled.
Seeing the black cat ‘grimacing’, she felt delighted, then finally let go of her hand.
But she didn’t ask again.
She puffed out her cheeks.
“Also… I really was stupid.”
She leaned back and lay against the sofa.
“You’re just a little kitty. How would a kitty understand love?”
As if she suddenly thought of something, she froze.
Then she looked at the black cat on her lap.
“Now that I think about it, when it comes to cats, they don’t have the concept of love.”
“And having children… is.”
Luo Yunzhi’s thoughts flashed rapidly through her mind.
“Oh right, it’s heat. Usually in spring and autumn.”
The black cat’s body stiffened.
The corners of her mouth twitched.
How could she possibly go into heat?
Oh, it was possible.
Because she had inherited part of a cat’s habits, this kind of thing couldn’t be ruled out.
And thinking of this, Bai Ziyu couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable all over.
She really couldn’t imagine what that terrifying appearance of hers would look like.
She couldn’t help but think that if that day really came, she would definitely run deep into the mountains…
At least she couldn’t let anyone see, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
The black cat was filled with worry.
She gritted her teeth.
“It’s spring right now.”
Luo Yunzhi didn’t notice the black cat’s abnormality.
She was just there, softly muttering something.
Then she picked up the black cat.
“Little White, should I get you spayed?”
She looked at the black cat, staring into the other party’s deep pink eyes.
The black cat was picked up, slightly caught off guard.
But she soon heard the girl’s words.
This made her panic.
Her face gradually turned pale.
Although because she was a black cat.
Her face wouldn’t turn white.
“What do you think?”
“Meow!”
(No way!)
Bai Ziyu immediately protested.
She was now being held by Luo Yunzhi’s two hands.
Her body had become a long strip, swinging back and forth in midair.
The girl’s gaze seemed to drift downward.
The black cat immediately wrapped her tail in front of her body, blocking her private and secret parts.
The black cat struggled hard for a bit, but it was completely useless.
She could only stare with those eyes, glaring at her angrily.
She seemed to be filled with quite a lot of resentment.
Little White seemed to be angry.
The girl would think.
Luo Yunzhi smiled awkwardly.
She didn’t dare to continue stimulating the other party with words.
She didn’t doubt that if she kept talking about spaying.
Her own black cat would definitely find an opportunity to give her face a swipe with its paw and leave scratches.
That was absolutely something the other party would do for revenge.
She let go of her hands.
The black cat also jumped down from her lap.
As if escaping, she ran over to the office desk.
Bai Ziyu bit into the cookies.
She seemed to be venting her anger.
Crunch crunch.
It was as if she was treating those cookies as the girl.
Crumbs scattered across the office desk, making the table extremely messy.
On the boss chair, Wang Jia’s mouth twitched.
“You’re angry, fine, but aren’t you just tormenting me?”
She hesitated for a long time.
In the end, she didn’t clean up directly.
Because she didn’t know how many crumbs the black cat would make.
She only put the pen and notebook away into the drawer.
The woman looked at the girl.
She suddenly opened her mouth.
“Don’t say that again in the future.”
“Huh? What?”
“The spaying thing.”
Wang Jia shook her head.
Her finger lightly tapped the desk.
Her expression had actually become restrained.
She looked quite serious.
“She… wouldn’t like it.”
The woman said.
This was also her job.
Ordinary people and yokai, there were always some areas where they didn’t understand each other.
Habits and ways of thinking that they took for granted would create contradictions.
This was also an obstacle.
So they still needed to work hard.
Wang Jia only felt a headache.
She rubbed her forehead.
“And you.”
She looked at the black cat.
“Little Luo didn’t do it on purpose.”
The woman felt that right now she was like a grandmother who liked to help both sides mediate problems.
However, this was her job.
“Little Luo doesn’t understand that yokai intelligence is no different from humans.”
She lowered her voice.
“So she actually doesn’t understand at all.”
“It’ll be fine later.”
Wang Jia smiled.
“There will definitely be that day. The day when all humans and yokai can truly understand each other.”
The black cat stopped chewing.
She raised her head.
“Meow?”
(Angry?)
Bai Ziyu was full of confusion.
She wasn’t angry.
After all, she wasn’t truly a ‘complete’ yokai.
So there were definitely some things she understood.
On the contrary, Wang Jia… she really was a mediator.
The nature of this job was quite hard.
It was just unknown how long this would have to continue.
The black cat didn’t really feel like eating anymore.
She jumped from the office desk to the ground.
Then in a few steps, she ran back to Luo Yunzhi’s lap again.
She curled up her body.
She let out a yawn.
The girl reached out her hand.
Just like before, she thoughtfully swept away the cookie crumbs around the black cat’s mouth.
The corners of her lips carried a smile as she sat there silently.
Wang Jia couldn’t help but fall silent…
She didn’t know why, but she felt that right now she was like a clown.
Or perhaps a tool for the cat and human to flirt?
The woman rubbed her face, which seemed to have gone stiff.
“You ran over here even though you were angry?”
She couldn’t help but feel puzzled and asked the question in her heart.
The black cat lazily narrowed her eyes.
She lightly meowed.
“Meow.”
(Oh, you’re asking about that?)
“Meow.”
(I was hungry.)
“……”
Wang Jia tugged at the corner of her mouth.
She was almost angered into laughing.
But then she thought of something.
She pondered for a moment.
Then she actually revealed a genuine smile.
The relationship between the black cat and Luo Yunzhi… wasn’t this exactly the appearance of humans and yokai coexisting peacefully that they had been searching for all this time?
She hadn’t expected that the person she recruited without any particular intention had already written a perfect answer sheet.
Perhaps this could be replicated in other places.
She seemed to have gotten an idea.
She bent over her desk and began recording.
