Chapter 64: Who's Lily?

Tyler knew what love was. He had a vague impression of it from his subconscious mind, telling him that the words this girl said were indeed true.

According to what he read about the story, the male and the female lead should be in love. But what exactly was love? Was it a thing that could make the couple grow closer? Or something abstract?

He felt like he would have to find a way to converse with the male lead. His knowledge about the world and even himself was so limited that he was afraid that others would end up bullying him.

Just like that, the female lead approached Kyle's office.

The cat only realized that he had come back when he heard the male lead's anxious voice. Before he could react, a familiar palm took hold of him and touched his entire body, rubbing his head and chin.

"Thank God you're fine." Then he pinched Tyler's ears and said in a warning tone. "You're not allowed to wander alone, get it?"

The male lead's eyes were sharp, and something dark glistened in them. He looked like a furious person who was just a minute away from destroying the world.

That expression made Tyler froze, and he shrank back in Kyle's palms.

When the male lead saw this, his expression softened. "It's okay. I'll take care of you."

The female lead, who was watching such a scene, suddenly felt like she was the third wheel. She quickly cleared her throat and said, "Professor, your cat was wandering around the university, but I caught him before he could get lost."

Her prideful expressions clearly said that she wanted to listen to Kyle appreciating her. But she didn't hear what she had expected. Instead, the male lead's focus was entirely on his cat, caressing and fondling his cute little pet.

When Sati Yui saw this scene, she instantly understood that she could never be in the male lead's heart. She had clearly saved this guy's cute little pet, and if he were interested in her, he would've thanked her first and shown appreciation.

But this professor of hers acted like the female lead wasn't even present in the office. So she pursed her lips and turned back.

Just as she was about to go away, a harsh voice spoke up. "Don't touch my cat from now on."

Sato Yui was stunned hearing that, and a smile formed on her lips. Glancing back, she waved at her professor. "Don't worry, professor, I never intended to do that."

In fact, she liked the cat more than this man inside the office. Toward Kyle, Yui only had a momentary attraction. So she wasn't sad seeing how that man wasn't interested in her.

Seeing the girl's reaction, Kyle finally felt satisfied. Then he turned to the cat in his arms and glared at him. "Now, Tyler, how should I punish you?"

***

Tyler sat beside the male lead on the table, staring at Kyle. Then he gritted his teeth and walked over. What the hell was this punishment? Earlier, when Kyle had said that he would punish his little cat, the latter never thought it would be so embarrassing to be punished!

He was actually punished to rub himself against the male lead's body three times every five minutes right after releasing a soft meow!

Tyler really wanted to kill this man.

Just then, the male lead said in a teasing tone, "Why can't I hear your voice?"

"Meow!" Tyler let out a frustrated noise from his throat, making it a little harsh so that it could hurt Kyle's ears.

But contrary to his expectations, his voice was cuter, but Kyle knew what kind of voice Tyler actually wanted to let out through his gritted teeth. He almost laughed after seeing this person's adorable expression.

"Gentler."

Tyler refused to talk to this person and typed on the male lead's phone in capital letters. "Only one meow in five minutes!"

Even though he wasn't accustomed to typing with his paws, he could still do it easily with just a little bit of practice. He had been communicating with the male lead using the phone for the past hour.

This action amused Kyle so much that he couldn't stop himself from chuckling. He was signing some random papers here in the office and put his pen down, glancing at the little guy for a while, and raised his brows. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Tyler gnashed his jaw and glared at the man, stomping on the table. He walked over to the male lead and roughly rubbed against Kyle's hands before going back to his place, far away from the male lead's reach.

Soon, it was time for Kyle to go and teach some piano lessons to his students. So he glanced at the cat on the table and said in a warning tone, "Don't sneak out. If I don't find you here when I return forty-five minutes later, your punishment will be worse."

Was Tyler a kid or something? He really didn't need a stupid warning as if Kyle was really his master, and he was the cute little pet. The cat ignored the male lead and closed his eyes, not even bothering a glance.

Kyle felt helpless. He caressed the cat's head gently and left.

Just when Tyler thought he would take a nap, there was a knock on the door. He looked up lazily to see Sato Yui standing with an awkward expression on her face. She licked her lips and said, "It looks like the professor isn't here."

Then her gaze swept past the empty chair and stopped on Tyler, who was still looking up in confusion. His big eyes blinked at the female lead, looking rather innocent.

The female lead's heart melted after seeing that adorable face. She strode toward the cat and took him in her arms, rubbing Tyler's head.

"You're really cute! I really want to take you home." Then she thought of something, and her eyes lit up. "If that were to happen, my Lily would get a companion!"

Tyler tilted his head in confusion. Lily? Who's that? He didn't remember the system mentioning this name in the storyline.
