CH 19

Hearing the “meow” from Kang Lai Yin, Li Hong Ming felt a buzz in his brain, the effect was similar to a thunderclap. He eagerly wanted to share his feelings with other people, yet he was only met with Kang Xing Luo and Kang Lai Yin giving a loving hug after a long reunion, and the secretary behind them was looking down with his head lowered.

Li Hong Ming, “……”

Big shot Lai Yin was actually doofus’ cat??

One Tai Zi, one Lai Yin, one superstar and the other was the wealthiest man???

What kind of dream team set up is this! The circumstances are too good!

As he recollected his composure through the midst of his shock, Li Hong Ming started to put himself in Kang Xing Luo’s shoes and began to worry.

Admittedly, it was good to be reunited with your cat again. However, the fact remained, there was a difference in terms of status now.

What would he do if other people saw Kang Xing Luo as a gold-digging owner, who approached his cats that have evolved and become powerful figures?

Just as he thought of this, Li Hong Ming met Kang Lai Yin’s secretary’s gaze, who just so happened to raise his head. The secretary’s eyes rolled and the originally expressionless face was now full of emotion.

The secretary earnestly said, “The pet met with a mishap and went to jail, but the owner didn’t abandon him! Ah! How admirable! So laudable and touching.”

Li Hong Ming, “……”

Should he say….. As expected of Kang Lai Yin’s secretary?

That was such a quick-witted response!!

Li Hong Ming was silent for a while. Just then, Kang Lai Yin finally released Kang Xing Luo from his embrace. His expression remained indifferent, it was difficult to decipher whether he was in a good mood or not. Kang Lai Yin shot a glance towards Li Hong Ming, before returning his gaze on Kang Xing Luo.

“It’s been two days, you can’t run around anymore. Let’s go back to the hospital.”

The secretary made a sound of assent, and the driver who was close-by promptly drove the car over. Kang Xing Luo’s body should be recuperating in the hospital, so Li Hong Ming had no objections at all. He drove his car and, thus the four of them set out in two groups.

Kang Lai Yin and Kang Xing Luo sat in the back seat. Only after entering the car did Kang Xing Luo’s emotions, which had slightly calmed down (from the reunion) began to feel somewhat restless.

He cautiously stared at Kang Lai Yin’s side profile, feeling wondrous. After the impulsive and passionate recognition had passed, he tried looking for traces of Xiao Shizi on the man’s face.

This eyebrow, this eyes…no matter how he looked at him, he couldn’t see any similarities. After studying his face for a while, he could only conclude that they both share the same first impression that they give to others:

That they were fierce.

Come to think about it, one was a human while the other was a cat. If he was able to tell, then that would be weird. If he had not known the concept of evolutionary species he wouldn’t be able to associate the man in front of him with the Xiao Shizi, who he had raised.

Who was Xiao Shi Zi?

He was a cat who had a mix of black and dark grey coloured fur, long and soft, a fierce and gloomy face, and soft spoken like a little lady.

Now, the world told him that this tall dashing man, that was right in front of him, was his Xiao Shizi. How unbelievable!

Kang Xing Luo fell into a trance when the established facts were presented in front of him.

Kang Xing Luo was not the only one who was preoccupied, Kang Lai Yin was even more distracted than him. The person Kang Lai Yin originally thought he would have to put in some effort in order to find him again, unexpectedly appeared in front of him. That and he coincidentally came to his side again when he was feeling depressed and fragile. This gave him no choice but to ponder whether this was heaven’s predestined fate.

So, two people —who should have plenty to say to the other person— found each other, yet no one spoke a word. The secretary, who was sitting in front of them with his ears covered–useless.

As the car travelled, Kang Lai Yin held onto Kang Xing Luo’s hands which startled Kang Xing Luo, and there was a kind of indescribable grievance coming from his entire body.

With this person by his side, he truly couldn’t endure it anymore.

Kang Xing Luo opened his mouth and asked, “You changed your name?”

Kang Lai Yin said softly, “No.”

Kang Xing Luo, “Then….”

Kang Lai Yin, “For external use.”

He already has a name…Why does he need to have another name just for external use? Is it because it’s inconvenient, or ….

Kang Xing Luo abruptly recalled the conversation he had with Li Hong Ming about evolutionary species having their own thoughts. Therefore, it was normal for them to have their own preferences.

Could it be that he doesn’t like it?

At the thought of his cat not liking the name he had given him, and the fact that he had called him by that name everyday made him feel embarrassed, he hurriedly said, “If you don’t like it, then it isn’t bad to change it to Lai Yin.”

Even though his mouth said that, his expression clearly showed a little disappointment. Kang Lai Yin frowned and said, “I didn’t say I dislike it.”

Kang Xing Luo raised his eyes, Kang Lai Yin continued on, “I think it’s great, very stylish.”

Kang Xing Luo, “Really?”

“En.”

Kang Xing Luo sighed in relief, “Thank god, I thought you would disdain it for being tacky.”

Kang Lai Yin, “It’s not tacky at all, you can continue to call me by that name.”

Kang Xing Luo said tentatively, “Then….Xiao Shizi?”

Kang Lai Yin answered, “En.”

Sitting in the front seat, the secretary suddenly covered his mouth and nearly burst into laughter.

The car arrived at their destination and came to a stop. Kang Xing Luo had just spoken a few words with Kang Lai Yin when he was immediately surrounded by a group of senior nurses, who were notified in advance of his arrival.

He had just arrived at the hospital and before he could take a breather, the doctor had already instructed the nurses to take Kang Xing Luo for an examination.

From the moment he regained consciousness, he had spent the last two days outside, so Kang Xing Luo had to go through a series of tests/examinations. From his head to toe, any parts that could be checked, were checked.

The nurse who was in charge of taking care of Kang Xing Luo, a gorgeous young lady, had a pair of black wings behind her back. When Kang Xing Luo first saw her, he thought the wings were just accessories on the uniform. Unexpectedly, the wings would tremble slightly every time the nurse talked to him.

“You finally came back, I was so worried about you these few days.”

Wu Xiao was smiling from ear to ear and spoke very familiarly. Kang Xing Luo seemed to have some impression of her, but he couldn’t exactly remember. He smiled and asked, “You know me?”

Wu Xiao, “Of course, I took care of you for such a long time. I was with you everyday and I was also the one who found out that you have awakened.”

So there was such a thing. Although Kang Xing Luo had lost two years of his memory, he could feel from his body that there was someone who had been taking good care of him. “Thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me, this is my job anyways. Oh, right..” Wu Xiao came over excitedly, she wasn’t able to hide the emotions on her face, “Can you secretly tell me the relationship between you and ‘daddy’ Lai Yin? I absolutely won’t tell anyone else about it, really! I adore him so much! I’m one of his fans!”

Wu Xiao’s passion was so excessive that Kang Xing Luo couldn’t keep up with her. He asked, “Is Xiao…Kang Lai Yin well-known?”

Wu Xiao was baffled, “You don’t know? Oh yeah, you just happened to be asleep for two years…Well, let’s just say he’s extremely famous and he has fans nationwide.”

Before asking any questions, Kang Xing Luo already had an idea in his mind. There was tons of news about Xiao Shizi on the search engine, he also heard Li Ming Hong’s description of the ‘world’s richest individual’. It was just that although he had heard it before, he didn’t think much about it. It was only until now that he realized the weight of these things.

No wonder there was suddenly one billion in his card.

Kang Xing Luo’s rational understanding gradually became clear, but his heart was still muddled. Not because his awareness wasn’t clear, rather because he had no sense of reality.

“Lay down and don’t move. The equipment will push you inwards and, then in a bit … Eh … eh … eh … eh!?”

Wu Xiao exclaimed excitedly, Kang Xing Luo looked over and saw there were two people standing side by side outside of the examination room. One of them was Li Hong Ming, and the other was Kang Lai Yin.

Kang Xing Luo calmed down when he saw the two people anxiously waiting outside as he was doing his examination. Without waiting for Wu Xiao to recover from the surprise, he obediently laid down on the bed.

Peace fell inside the examination room, however, Li Hong Ming, who was standing outside next to Kang Lai Yin, was palpitating with anxiety and fear.

It wasn’t that Young Master Li hadn’t seen much of the world, it was just seeing the world doesn’t mean he had met Jack Ma. Especially since Kang Lai Yin’s identity, who was standing right in front of him, was not only the world’s richest individual, but also his best friend’s cat. He was now experiencing a dilemma about how he should approach Kang Lai Yin as the friend of Kang Lai Yin’s owner, or as a fellow wealthy person.

To try to befriend him … He didn’t dare to…

To touch the cat’s butt … He was terrified to even touch the cat’s thighs.

Li Hong Ming tried to recall and probed, “You…Do you remember me?”

Kang Lai Yin didn’t even look at him and replied, “Li Hong Ming.”

He replied in such a straightforward way, it confirmed that he remembered. Li Hong Ming instantly turned joyful and said, “Yes … Yes … Yes! It’s me, I even brought small fish biscuits for you before!”

Not knowing if it had anything related to the fish biscuits. Kang Lai Yin turned his head to glance at Li Hong Ming. This quick glance made Li Hong Ming felt as if his entire body was being electrocuted.

Unexpectedly, Kang Lai Yin said, “My memory is great, I remember everything.”

Li Hong Ming was very happy, “Really?”

Kang Lai Yin said faintly, “Yeah, so I also remember the first time we met.”

Li Hong Ming was slightly stunned, The first meeting? What first meeting? Did something happen when they first met?

Li Hong Ming tried to remember that day, the fog in his mind finally cleared up as the scene of that day when he first met Kang Lai Yin came back to him . It was the day when he and doofus were having a casual conversation on the lawn, and doofus brought Xiao Shizi home.

Let him recall what he had said at that time,

“Aiya, hurry up and put it there, it doesn’t look bad. Someone else will surely take it back home.”

“Don’t hold it anymore, you already have two cats; is it not enough?”

Li Hong Ming, “……”

Li Hong Ming, “……”

Li Hong Ming, “……”

Li Hong Ming was on the verge of collapsing, he wasn’t able to utter a single word.

What kind of freaking situation was this?!! Is it considered a grave offense to a cat if one prevented them from being brought home???

Li Hong Ming was trembling all over, as he was about to speak. All of a sudden, Kang Lai Yin said, “It is more outrageous than murdering someone’s father.[1]”

Li Hong Ming, “……”
