The conversation with Cheng Wenyi took longer than expected, and by the time Xiao Lan and Luo returned home it was late at night.

The neighbourhood is silent, even Tie Hanhan, who likes to steal vegetables at night, has gone to bed, and there is nothing more than the sound of the wind and the faintest scraping of branches and leaves.

Xiao Lan's mind is full of Xiao Chengyan.

Everything about Xiao Chengyan is a tangled pile of threads, and when Xiao Lan finally finds the threads and thinks she'll get to the truth, she unravels a tangled mess of mysteries.

Even his original image of his father is overturned and he becomes a complete stranger to the legendary Xiao Chengyan.

What kind of a man is he?

How did he know that Xiao Lan would need poverty values in the future?

What happened to him in the end?

Is he really dead?

Unfortunately, Xiao Lan is unable to stand in front of Xiao Chengyan and ask him these questions, and Xiao Chengyan is already far away with these doubts. Perhaps even if he were standing right in front of Xiao Lan, he would still dismiss these questions.

After all, Cheng Wenyi's description of him is that of an arrogant and conceited man who would probably be very impatient to explain his motives to anyone.

Xiao Lan feels drained of energy.

After a brief wash, he flops down on the bed and lies limp and motionless, as if he were just a blanket.

"Knock, knock" came the knock at the door.

"Come in." Xiao Lan said, but remained limp and motionless.

The sound of unhurried footsteps approaching towards him.

"Sir." Luo's voice rang out above Xiao Lan's head.

Xiao Lan lifted her eyes and gave him a salty stare.

I have to say, a truly handsome man is handsome even at this angle of death.

"Are you feeling tired?" Luo's voice was still gentle.

"Mmm ......" Xiao Lan's voice was muffled, even a little childishly pouting. Perhaps he hadn't even noticed that he and Luo were much more casual now than they had been at the beginning.

"Why don't I give you a head massage and all you have to do is lie down." Luo said.

Xiao Lan follows Luo's lead and lies back on the pillows, his eyes closed as he feels the gentle massage of the other man's long but strong fingers on his scalp.

Luo's hands wandered over the acupuncture points on his head, massaging with just the right amount of force, each stroke seeming to take away some of the fatigue.

Xiao Lan feels her heart is slowly calming down.

He is a person who does not like to dwell on things, and generally speaking, when he encounters something unhappy, he can come back to life after a night of depression. Even if the Xiao Chengyan incident was a bit too much information, he was able to adjust to it slowly.

But it's a nice feeling to be cared for.

No matter what unknown dangers and difficulties lie ahead, Luo will be by his side.

This is, indeed, a great blessing.

Xiao Lan opened his eyes and met Luo's eyes as he stared down at himself.

In the real world, Luo's eyes remain mostly black, but at the moment, they reflect Xiao Lan's face with every change in his expression.

"What is it, sir?" Luo's voice was low, at a volume that only two people could hear, as if it were a lover's whisper in the silence of the night.

Xiao Lan just looked at him and gave him a light smile, but did not speak and just closed his eyes again.

Luo, however, understood the meaning of the smile and he curled his lips in the same way, easing his grip a little.

Shortly afterwards, Xiao Lan's exhalation becomes long and her body relaxes completely, apparently having fallen asleep.

Luo stops moving his hands and sits down on the edge of the bed and moves closer to Xiao Lan. He lifted his hand and gently rubbed Xiao Lan's cheek, feeling the warmth and softness of his fingertips.

Xiao Lan, who is always alert, is still asleep and unresponsive.

It was clear that Luo was classified as safe by him and was not part of his vigilance.

Luo, who noticed this, was in a particularly good mood.

Xiao Lan slept soundly and dreamlessly.

The next day, he woke up to the dawn of daylight, the bright sunlight entering the room through a gap in the curtains, announcing that it was late at the moment.

Xiao Lan stirred and stretched his limbs under the covers.

Suddenly, he felt furry next to his neck. The fine, soft touch was even a little familiar, making him almost think he was still in a dream.

Xiao Lan hesitantly turned his head to see a dark furry mass right next to his pillow, part of which was rubbing against his neck, from which he had just felt the furry touch.

He reached out and poked it, and it was not only furry but also warm.

Suddenly, the black ball of fur moved and from it poked out a pair of large golden eyes, which were clear and transparent with a

A bit of unspeakable mystery -

It reminds Xiao Lan of Luo.

But don't Luo's cats have square heads? The cat that appears before him now has a round head and looks symmetrical, without any hint of Luo's extreme artistic ambitions.

Before it was too late to think about it, the black cat that had inexplicably appeared on the bed had risen to its feet.

He approached Xiao Lan with a graceful stride and looked to be on all fours as he rubbed his fluffy head against Xiao Lan's cheek, "Meow~"

Xiao Lan couldn't resist reaching out and stroking the black cat's chin.

Seeing his movement, the black cat took the initiative and rubbed its head against his palm again. The delicate, soft fur across his palm was like a feather across Xiao Lan's heart, tickling and tantalising.

Seeing Xiao Lan's expectant eyes, the black cat once again makes a killer move.

He lay down ungracefully, rolled on the bed and rolled his belly out at Xiao Lan, while cocking his head and looking straight at him with his bright pale gold eyes and giving him a soft "meow".

A string in Xiao Lan's head, called sanity but not determination, broke.

The black cat is, of course, Luo.

Last night, while Xiao Lan was sleeping, he rearranged his then overly casual black cat form that he had created, and referenced a number of popular online cat elements.

The number of hairs has been increased to ensure a fine and silky feel; the body has been made fuller to ensure a bouncy feel; and the head has been adjusted to the most popular roundness to ensure that it is a delight to touch.

Luo's powers were suppressed in the real world, and it took him a lot of effort to complete the process.

But nothing could stop him from taking on Xue Li.

Those who achieve great things should not be afraid of small things.

Luo has always been a guy who can bend and stretch.

Lying in Xiao Lan's arms, Luo looks content: his heel status is unassailable!

Having had enough of the cat, Xiao Lan's long-lost sanity found its way back home.

He finally remembered to ask Luo, " Luo, what's wrong with you now?"

Luo waved his tail and came up with a reason that he had thought of long ago: "To avoid any special circumstances, I have readjusted this form and learnt the behavioural patterns of cats to avoid looking too weird, do you find it satisfactory?"

With that, he rubbed his furry head against the back of Xiao Lan's hand.

Xiao Lan couldn't resist stroking the cat's head again: "Ahem ...... quite nice, exactly like a real cat."

Xiao Lan is sure that there are not many cat slaves in the world who can resist the current Luo.

But what is ...... Luo developing this form for? Lusting and baiting cat-controlled NPCs so they can get clues?

Putting her doubts behind her, Xiao Lan got up to wash up and change her clothes.

By the time he came out, Luo had returned to his handsome, elegant human form and was smiling at him, "What are your plans for today, sir?"

Xiao Lan shook his head, "Nothing special."

He was only supposed to stay in reality for three days, and his main objective - to meet Cheng Wenyi - had already been achieved. Xiao Lan was not in a hurry to return to the game to train, and a proper relaxation would help him to adjust his condition.

Seeing Xiao Lan's eyes change from his original eagerness to his usual calmness, Luo's heart sank a little, and the target of his sorrow was himself.

Humans, how superficial.

--

In a rare return to reality, the two plan to go out for dinner.

But just outside his front door, he saw someone unexpected - Cheng Wenyi.

Xiao Lan was a bit confused, "What are you doing here?"

Is there something else that I forgot to mention last night?

But given the guy's personality, he shouldn't have come to tell him himself.

Cheng Wenyi has changed again into a fine white suit, his hair still perfectly groomed. He said nonchalantly as he got out of the car with Xue Li in his arms, "I just came to visit an elder."

The Xue Li in his arms also saw Xiao Lan and gave him a soft "mee-woo~".

Xiao Lan also greeted Xue Li, "Hello, Xue Li."

Xue Li waved his tail and looked happy as he jumped off the ground and prepared to walk in the direction of Xiao Lan.

At that moment, the door of the next door to Master Zhang's house opened. The door was opened by Tie Hanhan, and there was no sign of anyone else behind him.

It always feels like Tie Hanhan's intellect is being used in strange ways.

Tie Hanhan was just outside when he saw the snowy white fur ball in front of him and his eyes lit up with excitement.

Use that nose above the mouth where it just finished chewing on the slipper.

"Mee-" Xue Li's fur exploded.

This big smelly guy! What do you want to do to it!

A furious Xue Li jumped right on Tie Hanhan's head and slapped his paws hard on his big face.

Although Xue Li is a pet cat with no special powers, it is a high-class pet from the Advent world, and its basic combat power is no match for Tie Hanhan, a strong and powerful human cat who can demolish homes.

"Tie Hanhan started to run in circles around the men, screaming in pain as he did so.

As Tie Hanhan ran, he picked up dust from the ground, which tumbled through the air and landed on Xue Li's clean, white fur.

"Mee..." Xue Li got even more angry and clawed Tie Hanhan on the side of the head again.

"Tie Hanhan ran even faster as he sprinted straight back to his house and ran laps around the vegetable patch that was the heart and soul of Master Zhang.

Finally, as expected, Tie Hanhan's feet slipped and his huge body plunged into the vegetable patch, still flailing on all fours. The Xue Li on his head was also dropped into a full, fresh green vegetable, head down, with only his two struggling legs showing.

Tie Hanhan's great battle with Xue Li finally came to an end, and it was Zhang Da's vegetable patch that ended up being the most severely injured.

Cheng Wenyi, who watched the whole thing: "......"

I have never seen Xue Li look so inelegant.

Tie Hanhan's commotion alerted him to come out, just in time to see the last scene, and he couldn't help but cover his face:" Tie Hanhan shame on you oh ......"

As for the vegetable patch, forget it, let my son fly him another batch of new ones from that whatever breeding base.

At this point, Master Zhang finally noticed that there was someone else at the door: " Little Xiao, Fei Luo, and Little Wenyi! Come on in!"

Xiao Lan glanced at Cheng Wenyi, and it turned out that the elder he was talking about was Grand Master Zhang, who was really a deep and hidden presence.

After the three of them greeted Master Zhang, he personally made them tea.

Xue Li and Tie Hanhan also took a temporary truce and were separated by a distance.

The old man looked happy as he looked at Cheng Wenyi: "It's been a long time since you've seen little Wenyi."

Cheng Wenyi smiled and replied, "I'm going home today and I happen to be close to you, so I came to pay a visit too."

Cheng Wenyi felt bad as he tried to stop it, "That ...... grandpa Zhang ......"

The old factory had an old boiler and an old boiler man was firing it. Mr. Xiao, who had never seen such a thing before, jumped over and watched, and guess what -"

Zhang looked at Xiao Lan and Luo with interest, clearly waiting for them to make a joke.

"What?" Xiao Lan followed his meaning with a curious look.

Of course he was also really curious about what the dark history of this tawdry and sophisticated Cheng Wenyi was back in the day.

The young Wenyi, after watching the boilers being fired, said he wanted to be a boiler burner when he grew up, and cried out to go there. Even his grandfather's bodyguard almost couldn't stop him."

"In the end, it was only when little Wenyi's grandfather agreed to build him a fireplace in the house that he finally stopped making a fuss."

"In the middle of summer, the boy was burning the fireplace in his house every day, making his family miserable, and from what his grandfather said it seemed like he kept burning it until autumn before he had enough fun."

"Pfft--" Xiao Lan couldn't hold it in anymore, he covered his mouth and his shoulders kept shaking.

Looking at Cheng Wenyi now, Xiao Lan thought that he was the type of person who had always been beautiful since he was a child. He had no idea that Cheng Wenyi had such a simple dream when he was a child.

Even Luo's mouth curved into a wider grin.

Cheng Wenyi's smile has stiffened, and the tea in his hand feels distinctly bitter.

He regretted very much his presence here today.

There was a sense of the bottom being lifted through.

The author has something to say.
