Xu Chang'an gently rubbed Little Li Hua's head with his finger, thinking that since it couldn't understand, he didn't need to talk.
"Meow." He called out.
"..."
"Meow." Xu Chang'an called out again.
The cat then came to its senses, mewing in response and continued playing with his fingers.
At that moment, Xu Chang'an heard a delicate voice.
"Chang'an, you... seem to be having a lot of fun."
"..."
Xu Chang'an's face stiffened as he turned to find Qinling, dressed and half-smiling.
When Qinling sat down across from him, the little Li Hua, upon seeing its owner return, immediately abandoned Xu Chang'an and nestled into Qinling's arms.
"Uncle." Xu Chang'an came to his senses and said openly, "The little one is very cute."
"Of course, I had someone get it out of the Flower Moon Building for me." Qinling, feeling the warmth in her arms, pinched the little cat's ears and chuckled before looking up at Xu Chang'an, saying, "It really likes you."
