Yan Huan was in the kitchen boiling water, completely unaware that besides Spencer's Holy Relic falling out of his backpack, a Hero Fragment had been left on the bed.

Tong Yingying stared at the Hero Fragment in her hand, utterly bewildered, and scrutinized the surroundings with suspicion.

Thinking that unless Yan Huan had an unusual habit of dyeing things, this item most likely belonged to someone else who had visited Yan Huan's home.

And it certainly wasn't just a regular guest who would drop such a Fragment...

A classmate?

Yeah, his school is full of blond-haired, blue-eyed people.

But the problem is, the one dropping such a Fragment on his bed is most likely of the opposite sex, right?!

Tong Yingying nervously glanced outside the door, only to see the chubby black cat.

Thus, she lowered her head to sniff Yan Huan's bedding, trying to find evidence of the opposite sex's presence.

Unfortunately, she only caught a faint scent of Yan Huan and a fresh scent of shower gel.

"..."

Ugh, damn!

Did someone sneak a monkey into her home to feast on some handsome guy?!

Tong Yingying sat up with reddened eyes, angrily looking at the strand of hair in her hand, wanting to rush out and demand Yan Huan whose hair it belonged to.

But in her mind, the possibility of doing so silently surfaced.

"Yan Huan! Tell me now, did any other person of the opposite sex visit your house?!"

Yan Huan turned around with a smile and nodded in acknowledgment,

"Yes, someone I like."

Feeling shocked and sorrowful, she asked in anguish,

"Then... what about me?"

"You?"

Yan Huan might initially be slightly taken aback and then awkwardly say,

"Sister Tong, I've always seen you as a senior. I thought you were joking before, but I didn't expect you to be so serious."

"..."

"You're almost an entire round older than me, your temper is bad, and your lifestyle habits are almost intolerable..."

"Uhh..."

"Being with you would be like being imprisoned for life. I'm young, I don't want a life sentence..."

"Supplemental medicine..."

In the bedroom, realizing she has no right or reason to question the other's lifestyle, Tong Yingying covered her head, squirming on the bed like a maggot.

Outside the door, Meow Jiang, who witnessed the whole scene, showed a helpless expression, secretly thinking,

"What good is imagination..."

With this in mind, it glanced at Yan Huan, who was pouring water, sighed, and muttered softly,

"Looks like I have to intervene, meow."

With that said, the next second, it elegantly walked into the bedroom, tail held high.

"Meow~"

The cute meow immediately caught Tong Yingying's attention. She turned her head, looked at Meow Jiang with disdain, and waved,

"Shoo shoo, don't come over."

"Meow?"

Meow Jiang, ignoring her, lay down with its four paws up, showering Tong Yingying with affection.

Magically, as soon as Meow Jiang lay down, a small patch of black fur on its belly transformed into dazzling gold, almost identical to the fur in Tong Yingying's hand.

"Meow~"

Tong Yingying impatiently tried to chase Meow Jiang away, but the next second she suddenly saw the golden patch of fur on its belly.

"Huh..."

"Meow~"

Meow Jiang cutely waved its paws, while Tong Yingying, seeing the golden fur on its belly, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You really... scared me to death..."

Looking at Meow Jiang, Tong Yingying relaxed, dropping the fur in her hand to the floor.

Then, she picked up Meow Jiang and examined the adorable black cat.

After a second of silence, Tong Yingying curled her lip and remarked,

"Turns out you're just a cheap mix..."

"Meow?!"

Upon hearing this, Meow Jiang immediately reacted, struggling and clawing in her hands.

Tong Yingying had no choice but to toss it back onto the ground.

"Ding ding ding~"

"Delivery! Open the door and pick it up!"

"Coming!"

Yan Huan finished pouring hot water and, hearing the delivery call, went to the entrance to pick it up.

Tong Yingying happened to come out, sipping hot water, and asked Yan Huan,

"Haven't had dinner yet?"

"No, Sister Tong, do you want some?"

"Forget it, I'm on a diet."

Tong Yingying shook her head, resting her chin and watching Yan Huan take out the pizza and snacks she ordered.

"By the way, Sister Tong, are you not opening your shop tonight?"

"What's the point, the employees don't show up for work..."

"Sorry, Sister Tong, I've been busy lately. I'll definitely come once things calm down."

Whenever this topic came up, Yan Huan felt a bit guilty toward Tong Yingying.

Not only was Tong Yingying still paying her a salary now, but even if she didn't, considering Yan Huan had more money now, she still shouldn't forget her roots.

After all, Yan Huan used to rely on Tong Yingying's job to support her family, she can't forget her roots so quickly.

Nom~

Saying she wouldn't eat, Tong Yingying picked up a piece of chicken nugget, listening to Yan Huan's sincere apology, and shook her head, feeling unconcerned.

"Later, I won't be opening the shop because I have other matters to attend abroad."

"Going back to Dragon Country?"

"No, going to Ying Country, leaving tomorrow, staying there for a few weeks."

"...Funny thing is, we have Ying Country on our list of dorm trip options too. We're leaving next week, if it's chosen we might run into you there, Sister Tong."

"Haha, it's better not to meet, I'm going for serious matters."

"You have serious matters?"

Seeing Yan Huan's suspicious look, Tong Yingying decided it wasn't worth explaining.

Indeed, she's going for serious matters related to Nara.

Tong Yingying had arranged with Nara to find the suspect who killed Mama Bai.

The person had appeared at Linmen before, and now had crossed the seas and arrived in Ying Country.
