Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

The next morning, Luo Ye and Fairy Senior had already boarded the plane for their return journey.

The weather forecast shows that it is currently drizzling in Jiangcheng.

As the saying goes, "Rain falls in torrents during the Qingming Festival," and this is especially true of the misty rain in Jiangnan.

When the plane landed, Luo Ye and Senior Sister Fairy took a taxi together to return to their apartment building.

He first told his aunt that he had arrived in Jiangcheng.

Then he sent another message in the dorm group chat.

Luo Ye: Your only dad is back!

The next moment, the dormitory group chat became lively again.

Shen Qiao: ?

Wang Dachui: Wild kid, you went home for a visit and now you've gone too far?

Li Haoyang: [Animated emoticon] (thumbs up).

Xu Xiaojia has also returned to Beijing. Given her personality, she will go home for almost every three days off, unless it's a weekend.

There's nothing we can do; her personality is just like a child's, and she likes to stick close to her parents.

It's tough on the coach, but since he's a local, he can go home.

Shen Qiao was going to pay respects to Xiao Lei's parents, so he wasn't in the dormitory on Qingming Festival.

As for the rest, I wonder if Thor went on a picnic with Caviar.

Luo Ye: @Wang Dachui, how's the progress?

As soon as this topic came up, everyone in the dorm started paying attention.

After all, Wang Dachui was the only one in the dormitory yesterday, and no one knew what had happened.

Not long after, Wang Dachui replied to the message.

Wang Dachui: I didn't do anything yesterday. Today I'm going hiking with caviar. We're already on our way. Don't be envious of me.

Shen Qiao: Envious of you? Envious of you being single for twenty years?

Wang Dachui: Get lost!

Upon seeing the words "mountain climbing," Luo Ye recalled the scene of climbing a mountain with his fairy-like senior on New Year's Eve last year.

The only mountain that can be climbed near Jiangcheng is Nanyang Mountain, so Hammer Bro should be on his way to Nanyang Mountain right now.

However, Yu Qiuyu is at least a sports student, so I wonder if Chris Hemsworth is up to the task.

The taxi arrived at the entrance of the family building.

A light rain was falling from the sky, and the two strolled leisurely in the rain.

This light rain will at most cause some water droplets to get on your hair.

Upon returning to the family dormitory, Luo Ye immediately checked Su Youcai's litter box and food bowl.

Hearing the kitten's longing meows, Luo Ye picked it up and said seriously, "Youcai, I'm thinking of buying you a kitten. What do you think? If you agree, meow once; if you disagree, bark once."

"Meow!"

Su Youcai barked loudly.

"Okay, then it's decided."

Upon hearing this, Su Baizhou asked expressionlessly, "You want to buy a cat?"

"Yes, it's been lonely. When we go out, it's left to stay home all by itself."

"Right."

Su Baizhou nodded.

What breed of cat do you want to buy?

What kind of cat does the senior student like?

Garfield.

"too ugly."

Luo Ye said with a look of disgust.

Su Bai Congee: ...

She mentioned Garfield simply because she had seen the cartoon of the same name; there was no particular reason.

If the junior doesn't like it, then...

Maine?

"Too fierce."

"Manconki?"

"His legs are too short."

Su Bai Congee: ...

She frowned slightly and said in a somewhat cold tone, "Then I won't buy it."

"No, senior, how about this, you name another variety, and I'll definitely buy it."

After a moment of silence, Su Baizhou glanced at Luo Ye and said calmly, "A doll?"

"I've heard that cats don't think Ragdolls are good-looking. I wonder if Youcai would even be interested in them."

"Junior, you can buy it yourself."

After being denied time and again, Su Baizhou's expression turned completely cold.

Sensing the gradually spreading chill, Luo Ye's expression changed, and she quickly said, "Senior, let's take Youcai over and let it choose for itself."

"Hmm." Su Baizhou nodded in a neutral tone.

The two changed their clothes and prepared to go out to buy a kitten.

Since it was for Su Youcai to choose a husband, Luo Ye put Youcai in a cat carrier and prepared to go with her.

There are about three or four pet shops nearby, and Luo Ye plans to compare prices and see which one has the best-looking pets.

On the way, Su Youcai kept meowing. Luo Ye laughed and said, "Youcai, you're about to have a childhood sweetheart. Are you that happy?"

"Meow!"

Su Youcai shouted very loudly, but it was impossible to tell whether he was excited or angry.

Upon arriving at the pet store, Luo Ye immediately smelled a strong pet odor as soon as he entered.

It smells a little bit bad.

Because this pet store sells not only cats, but also dogs.

Hearing the barking of different breeds of dogs, Luo Ye immediately spotted the most distinctive one not far away.

It was a young husky with extremely intelligent-looking blue eyes. It was in its cage, looking up and howling like a wolf.

Luo Ye came to it.

And the husky was also looking at Luo Ye.

The two stared at each other, their intelligence seemingly evenly matched.

A moment later, Luo Ye turned to look at the fairy-like senior, and was about to say something when she interrupted him with two words:

"Not buying."

Luo Ye's words caught in his throat. Looking at the intelligent-looking husky puppy in front of him, he clicked his tongue and sighed, "Sorry, Brother Dog, we are destined to be apart."

Just then, the owner came over and saw a couple with a cat. He quickly asked, "Are you here to give your pet a bath?"

"No, pick a male cat for it."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at Su Youcai in the cat carrier and exclaimed in surprise, "What a beautiful calico cat!"

He led Luo Ye and Su Baizhou into another room, where there were many cages, and in each cage were many cats of the same breed.

When someone enters, most of the cats get up to greet them, meowing and scratching at the door, hoping someone will take a liking to them and end their endless life in a cage.

However, after looking around, Luo Ye and Su Baizhou still couldn't find a kitten that satisfied them.

However, even Luo Ye felt a pang of heartache seeing them chirping at him so energetically in the cage and rubbing against it.

However, there was nothing he could do but hope that someone would buy them soon.

Next, they went to a second pet store.

Similar to the previous pet store, but this one only sells cats, and the cats' meows rise and fall incessantly.

The owner is introducing them to the cats' personalities, prices, and breeds.

Luo Ye immediately spotted a cage not far away, containing only one cat.

Unlike other cats, it didn't try to please humans. Instead, it sat there, scratching the floor with its paws as if burying itself in cat litter.

But there was clearly nothing on the floor.

Luo Ye came to its side, and the kid actually breathed on it.

Wow, this tiny thing, no bigger than the palm of your hand, is quite fierce.

Seeing Luo Ye approach the cat, the owner came over, took the cat out of the cage, and introduced it, "This is a Standard American Shorthair, a long-haired, short-legged cat, and its appearance is top-notch."
