Nowadays, although there are no species or social class discrimination, half species and fully evolved species are a natural threat to them. 

The fully evolved species’ shadow can’t be seen yet, but every single cell in the black and white cat’s body is sending out a dangerous alarm, such a strong sense of intimidation. It could not be just a simple fully evolved species, it’s likely a first-order species or higher, it might have even reached the second order. 

Second-order species…they are scary. It’s almost dawn and he does not want to cause any trouble. 

Having no time to take into consideration the human who can’t pay the bill in front of him, the black and white cat decisively leapt into the night.

To escape without leaving a trace. 

That cat leaves when he wants to leave, leaving a confused Kang Xing Luo behind alone. 

He felt a loss when he heard the final words of the black and white cat: ‘completely evolved species’, he did not understand why did the angry cat who demanded money to leave in such a hurry, but everyone has their own intuition. Seeing the black and white cat run away Kang Xing Luo suddenly had a bad premonition. 

Something is coming. 

He suddenly felt a presence behind him, Kang Xing Luo fearfully turned around only to see a faint figure in the dark behind the street lamp. 

He had no idea when that figure appeared there. He has a tall physique. Without saying anything, it walked towards his direction step by step.

Kang Lai Yin’s mind was not calm even though his intelligence has quickly risen. Still, he wasn’t able to achieve any emotional precipitation from this rapid change in such a short time. 

It was not hard to find where Kang Xing Luo was when he was flying since he already knew Kang Xing Luo’s location. Long ago, he placed a tracking device in Kang Xing Luo’s mobile phone. When the hospital was in turmoil and chaos earlier, as a family member, Kang Lai Yin, a cat, was stable. 

Although he knew Kang Xing Luo’s location, his worries did not reduce. 

He was afraid, afraid of leaving Kang Xing Luo alone.

This society is changing too fast. All new things require time to adapt. He wanted to accompany Kang Xing Luo for him to be familiar with everything bit by bit. 

When he found out that Kang Xing Luo was going towards the JinJiang district, Kang Lai Yin was shocked. Although Kang Xing Luo was in a coma for two years, the first thing he did when he woke up was to go home with a weak body. He returned to the place where they once spent a long time together. 

Thinking about it, the days and nights of waiting have received comfort in his heart. 

He has to hurry, he needs to see Xing Luo sooner, to prevent him from misunderstanding his current situation as well as feeling lonely. 

Feeling impatient, Kang Lai Yin ran so fast, however, he did not expect that the moment he arrived at the park gate was a scent that he was incapable of ignoring intertwined with Xing Luo’s scent, hopelessly muddled together. 

It was a smell that Kang Lai Yin was very familiar with. He and Kang Xing Luo used to have several of them at home.

A cat’s foul odour!

How is this possible…

How long has it been since he woke up…how can it be this fast!? He has already…!

In a split second Kang Lai Yin became angry, all the feelings that were originally gathered in Kang Lai Yin’s heart were replaced by anxiety and grievance. He even prepared words to tell him, that are now can’t be used, something along the lines of: “I came to pick you up.”; “Don’t be afraid.”; “Can you recognize me?” was now thrown out of his brain. He could not hide his rage and said, “——Did you rub a cat just now?!!!” 

""

His voice was low and it held much authority when heard, but it’s not one that would pressure someone. Combined with the seriousness of his words, it makes it harder for people to ignore it. Kang Xing Luo was stunned and his brain clicked. He suddenly understood why the black and white cat left. 

This person…..

He’s afraid that this person is a police officer who eliminates pornography!!

He’s going to be arrested!!!

Although his brain is still muddled, he thought of the black and white cat who wanted to collect his pay: 【JinJiang No.8, technician】. Therefore, petting a cat has a high possibility of being an action that cannot be legally brought to light in the open.

I’m afraid this isn’t some kind of sex industry!

……..

Time is too short, Kang Xing Luo can’t think of a detailed reason at all. Seeing the tall figure getting closer, Kang Xing Luo stood up from the bench, turned his head and ran away. 

Because of his weak limbs, he staggered when he tried to run. Kang Xing Luo just focused on moving forward and did not see the change of Kang Lai Yin’s expression. 

He opened his mouth, revealing his fangs,”I’m only going to say this once, stop right there.” 

…..Can’t stop!

After experiencing so much in one night, Kang Xing Luo felt half stupid and half foolish. He did not know what the correct choice was so he kept on walking. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the wind and he felt something heavy on his back, his entire body turned around. In a couple of seconds, he was firmly locked on the ground. 

However, he did not feel any pain. Before he fell, Kang Xing Luo was firmly held by the tall man. 

They were so close to each other. The other has a strength that is different from an ordinary person, without thinking much about it, as a conditioned reflex Kang Xing Luo frantically waved his arms. The man seemingly wanted to stop his movements, unexpectedly he was hit in the nose by Kang Xing Luo’s hands.

Kang Lai Yin, “…..”

Kang Lai Yin felt he was going to suffocate on the spot. 

Grabbing Kang Xing Luo’s hands in a hurry, Kang Lai Yin was annoyed to the point where he wanted to spit out blood, “The scent is so strong…just how long did you touch the cat!” 

Kang Xing Luo was never met with this kind of situation before, he stuttered, “I-I did not know I wasn’t allowed to touch, I did not deliberately do it. “

Kang Lai Yin did not believe what he said at all, he is Kang Xing Luo’s cat too, ranking 3rd in place there are still three more cats behind him. How can he not know what kind of conduct Kang Xing Luo has when he meets a cat. In rage he asked him, “Where did you touch?” 

“I only touched his chin, head, belly, his back also……..the butt.” Kang Xing Luo said.

“Then, isn’t this touching all over!” 

“Yes, SorryQAQ!” 

What is the use of saying sorry when you already touched the cat. 

Kang Lai Yin was angry to even say a word, he paused and said in sarcasm, “you’re awesome.” 

As he said this, Kang Lai Yin released his hold and wanted to get up but his black windbreaker was pressed down by Kang Xing Luo so he could only sit on the side sulking. While he was disheartened, Kang Xing Luo cautiously got up and asked, “Police comrade, you see…..how many years will I be in jail for?”

Kang Lai Yin, “……” 

Sentence you to life imprisonment. 

You are not allowed to rub another cat in this lifetime! 

Kang Xing Luo quivered and said, “You…why aren’t you saying anything…”

His voice sounded anxious, even his tears were on the verge of falling. Kang Lai Yin stared at him for a while, his anger quickly subsided only leaving him helpless and a sense of detachment.

“You are really….” 

“…..what?” 

Kang Xing Luo didn’t hear it clearly, he also had countless questions to ask but when he saw the man’s figure, he suddenly stopped. He was too anxious earlier so he completely did not take note of the man’s body being tall and sturdy. When he looked carefully, both of his shoulders and arms were trembling. 

It is indeed cold at night but how can it possibly be this cold. 

“Are you cold?” Kang Xing Luo asked.

“No.”

Kang Xing Luo thought about it and decided to take off his coat and cover the man’s body with it. At the moment of body contact, the man’s body went stiff and all of sudden he grabbed a hold of Kang Xing Luo’s hands. 

This situation was somewhat unusual. Kang Xing Luo was not able to see the man’s face clearly because of the lack of light, but for some reason he felt that this man had something to say to him. Kang Xing Luo became nervous. 

Suddenly, there was the sound of rumbling in the air. 

Kang Lai Yin was the first one to speak, he asked, “hungry?”

Kang Xing Luo was dazed for a long time before he realised that he was starving so he answered, “En.” 

“There is a convenience store right over there.” Kang Lai Yin said.

Kang Xing Luo nodded his head, of course, he knew about it since he had just come from there earlier. They both stood up at the same time, one person at the front and the other at the back they walked along the roadside. 

The man looked taller at a close distance, Kang Xing Luo is a little over 170cm (5’7) by comparison, the man should be 180cm (5’11). 

Maybe it was to take care of Kang Xing Luo, he was walking very slow and this kind of silent consideration made Kang Xing Luo’s heart go soft. 

Speaking of which, he still does not know anything about the current world and circumstances. At present, Kang Xing Luo only has the option of quietly following behind the man, even though he is quite uncertain with his choice since he might be brought to the police station. However, having someone accompany him is way better when he was alone in the park.

“We’re here, go and find something you want to eat.” 

Kang Xing Luo nodded his head, “Okay.” 

He tilted his head slightly and just so happened to meet the man’s eyes. The man stared into his eyes, his eyes were deep like an old well. 

Kang Xing Luo was astonished, “You……” 

“What’s the matter?” 

Kang Xing Luo was speechless, he has not properly seen the man’s appearance before until now that they are in the convenience store. At first glance, he did not expect the man’s looks to be this outstanding. 

Kang Lai Yin interpreted the silence differently, “Do I look so fierce that it makes people scared?” 

Kang Xing Luo, “Fierce looking? a little bit, but you look more handsome.” 

It’s the truth. Although the man’s eyebrows were furrowed, the first impression of him people might think of would be that he looks fierce, however he’s also good looking. That combined with his deterring aura of his would assault your senses.

In a split second, Kang Lai Yin’s eyebrows raised and he subconsciously turned his head away. 

“Instant noodles, what kind of flavour you want?” 

Kang Lai Yin shook his head, “I don’t need it.” 

“You should at least eat a little, it’s not good if I’m the only one eating.” 

Kang Lai Yin took a cup of noodles and placed it in Kang Xing Luo’s arms. Kang Xing Luo then gets a soy-marinated egg from the shelf. 

“Why did you only take one?” Kang Lai Yin asked.

“It’s for you.” 

His trait of giving people things has not changed one bit, he has been like that since long ago. Kang Lai Yin paused as he had no words to say.

After choosing something, Kang Xing Luo went to pay the bill first. 

“How much is it?” 

The uncle said,  “13 yuan.” 

Kang Xing Luo nodded and took a moment before paying the bill, he was panicking inside since just now all the money in his WeChat’s bank account has been completely withdrawn, the only thing remaining is his ATM card. 

Yet in this card, if he remembers correctly then he should have only 5 dollars and 60 cents left in it. 

……..

He’s done for. 

The man beside him stared at him quietly and it made Kang Xing Luo very embarrassed. 

Kang Lai Yin squinted his eyes and said, “Let me.”

Kang Xing Luo indeed does not have money, even though he felt embarrassed about it, there isn’t much of a choice either. Kang Xing Luo lowered his head and quietly waited for the man to pay the bill. Unexpectedly, when the man reached into his pocket, he suddenly let out a subtle look. 

Speaking of which…

Kang Lai Yin…never had money with him.
