The Cat Boss laid on the table, shaking its head as it asked Tata.
It was no longer surprised by Lanci and Talia's daily chats.
Thinking back to when it first saw Tata and Lanci, their relationship was not as good as it is now.
It would occasionally see the black-haired, green-eyed boy co to the Boss Cat Restaurant at a fixed ti to find Tata, naturally assuming the two were a couple, but later realizing the situation wasn't so simple.
It was very, very curious about what kind of relationship the seemingly aloof Tata and the gentle young man had.
At that ti, it planned to observe for a little while longer.
Until one ti, the young man brought a similarly beautiful and alluring silver-haired, amber-eyed girl to find Tata, and curiosity got the better of the Cat Boss, prompting it to ask Tata about her relationship with the young man.
"At that ti... I only knew him, that's all. I was right."
Talia's voice was devoid of any emotion as she spoke.
At first, her relationship with Lanci was simply an employer-employee relationship.
And until he paid off his debt, she had to protect him and urge him to pay back the money.
Furthermore, he would always bring things that pleased her, such as introducing her to Hyperion, whom she'd always wanted to et, before she even had the chance to hint to Lanci with an excuse and opportunity.
"I asked you back then if you thought he was soone special, and you couldn't even understand the definition of 'special', and you asked , ow."
The Cat Boss nostalgically rembered, lying down and reflecting.
Looking back at more than a year ago when it watched the boy and girl et at the restaurant, it always felt Tata and this young man shared a deep connection.
Tata, who never interacted with others, could only spend considerable ti with this young man.
"Did I ask you then, what exactly is 'special'?"
Even after traveling in the human realm for so many years, Talia still didn't understand many human emotions.
She realized the "special" the Cat Boss referred to that night wasn't literally "unique," but rather related to the human concept of "partner" or "love."
"Yes, I said, it's about how he can always make you happy, how you gradually find yourself unable to do without him, and how you start to care and be curious about his thoughts. Your originally calm self becos easily emotional because of him, ow."
The Cat Boss saw that after it said this, Talia stayed at the counter, frowning and contemplating for a long ti, seemingly unable to understand.
But now, looking at Talia's expression.
She seed to be no longer puzzled.
"No, I can't figure it out."
Upon hearing the Cat Boss's words, Talia thought for a mont, then firmly shook her head.
The happiness no longer stemd just from him fulfilling her wishes, nor was it rely due to their contract that she couldn't do without him; she had long understood what he was thinking. Sotis the emotions he caused weren't just anger.
This could only an...
an...
Talia hesitantly thought to herself, questioning why she couldn't reach the conclusion even at the cost of her life.
She raised her head to look at the Cat Boss and inadvertently caught a glimpse of her reflection in the window glass.
Outside, the mountains stretched endlessly, showered in the radiant glow of a winter morning, the snow-covered trees shining like a silver heavenly kingdom.
And in her reflection, she could barely see her own face filled with heart-stirring emotion.
She imdiately felt ashad of her expression and patted her cheeks.
As the Princess of Demon Clan, it's one thing to succumb to desire, but to think about marrying a human and becoming a good wife and mother?
A hundred years ago, when the Demon World still existed, such a thought would only make her feel it was better off dead!
The carriage was unusually quiet, with only the monotonous sound of the train track. Talia closed her eyes, lost in thought.
"Tata, if I were to ask you now, the sa as before, how do you see Lanci... what would you say?"
The Cat Boss felt that Talia's face had completely betrayed her feelings.
Even Xiu Bao didn't bother to be stubborn now, but it seed Talia was still persisting in sothing.
"Lanci? He's actually just average, just a bit good-looking, carries a bit of the principal's dignity, can draw a few nice pictures, and inherently has an indelible integrity that makes him want to save all worthy and unworthy souls. He is sowhat my type, and I really don't understand why so many people like him, could they stop liking him, because he is...
As soon as Talia heard the Cat Boss's words, she lifted her chin and began to speak a long list, with a hint of complaint in her tone,
"Because he actually has many flaws, which I won't elaborate on."
Her tone suddenly shifted as she lowered her voice to finish her sentence.
"ow."
The Cat Boss could only respond with a cat's ow.
The Princess of Demon Clan was quite stubborn, but Talia had this incurable stubbornness.
Not long after.
The sound of the door lock clicking.
The door to the compartnt was pushed open again, and Lanci appeared, pushing a small food cart in.
"Because I bought quite a lot, within the amount for their al service, they just lent the small food cart. Along the way, soone even asked if I was selling, I said no, saying these were all bought for my family elders to eat, and they asked how many people in my family, hahaha."
Lanci was telling Talia and the Cat Boss.
"Lanci, are you trying to achieve the feat of seven captures?"
Talia imdiately looked up and asked,
"Don't think that just because we're on a train, I won't make a move. The smaller the space, the more convenient it is for to deal with you."
