When Jun and Ai returned to the condo, he cautiously bent and let the new mber of their family down on the floor. "I hope you like your new ho."
Like every other curious cat, she began to quietly but nimbly move around the house and furniture. At one point, she stood straight and looked up towards the crescent swing where another cat was already resting inside it.
The cat with the dark brown eyes jumped down out of the swing and stared at the newcor.
Ai hopped to his side and bead. "She will be staying with us from now on too. Why don't you say hello?"
He didn't move. Then he suddenly backed away and scurried to the other side as if he wasn't interested in eting the new cat at all. The new cat patiently remained in her position.
"Hey, tell him not to scare her," Jun bent down and tickled under her chin.
Ai pursed her lips. "He just needs so ti to be friendly."
"Well, he better not bully her or I will throw him out."
"..."
"You changed your colors so soon," Ai complained. "And you are completely biased."
He sneered and picked up the cat, ruffling her fur. "Ai is just jealous. Don't worry about her, okay?"
The cat softly owed in response.
She said, "By the way, we still haven't thought of nas for the cats. Have you thought of any?"
Jun petted the cat on his lap and stared into her beautiful eyes. "To be honest, I feel like naming her Ai. She has the sa eyes as you."
She giggled. "I had thought the sa. I really want to na him Jun."
He glared at her. "Don't use my na for the cat who steals you away from !"
She was speechless. "Then isn't she already stealing you from too?"
"Well, it's your ti to suffer," he looked down and grinned. "Right?"
*ow*
Ai harrumphed. "Who told you that I want to na him Jun because of your eyes? Jun as a na for a cat also ans a handso cat, and he is definitely one beautiful cat. So, I will na him Jun."
His expression darkened. "Well then, I will na this little one as Ai and not because of your eyes. Ai ans loving and she always showed love even when I t her as a stranger. Definitely not like yours who doesn't let anybody touch him, not even you."
Her brow twitched. A war brewed in the air where nobody wanted to back down. But then a question arose. If they kept the sa nas as their partners, it would be confusing to call them out and an which one they were referring to - the human or the cat.
But Jun thought of Zhou Yichen, and an idea flashed in his mind. He smirked. "She will be Ai-chan."
"..."
"But Dad calls Ai-chan."
"Only he does. The rest don't. He will figure sothing out."
Her nostrils flared. "You know what Jun? You are also a cat. A copycat!"
He snorted. "You are just jealous of my intelligence."
"There is no intelligence in copying a na."
"A nickna."
Ai looked away for a mont and then said, "In that case, his na will be Jun-kun."
'Kun' was the boy's counterpart of 'chan' in japanese.
"Who is being a copycat now?" He sneered.
"At least I didn't outrightly steal a nickna like a certain soone here. I just took inspiration."
With the nas being sohow settled, there was a beat of silence. Then Jun got up on his feet. "Let feed you sothing. You must be hungry, Ai-chan."
"It's ti to feed Jun-kun too."
"Provided he let you~"
"Hmph. Jun-kun will definitely warm up to one day. Just like you. He is also taking his own sweet ti like you did. You weren't so friendly initially either."
"..."
"But then you fell for my charms," she gave a proud smile.
A vein popped on his forehead. "Ai…Now you are outrightly comparing to the cat!"
"Jun-kun. Please be respectful and call by his na," she pointed out.
Amidst their banter and unknown to them, the two cats were staring at each other from that distance as if having a foreboding of what was to co.

Chyou alternated her gaze between Zixin and Guiying and so did Yating. For them, Zixin and Guiying together at a restaurant was an odd sight to see. They both clearly took this as their date which felt even more surprising.
I had no clue when Chen Zixin and Guiying got so close, Yating thought.
Chyou, who had already investigated Guiying on Jun's request, knew her well too. But what she didn't understand was her connection with Zixin.
The only place she rembered she saw Guiying and Zixin was at Shui's birthday banquet when they danced together.
Was it after that…?
Chyou was a little unsure of what to think of this. Since Jun was always hostile to Guiying and had suspicions about her, she didn't know what she should feel about seeing her with Zixin. On top of that, Zixin had lost his mories which left him a little vulnerable according to her.
"Chyou. How co you are here?"
Yating eyed Guiying, asking the sa question through his eyes. She coughed.
"Ah, Yating and I are out shopping for Yin's birthday gift. But before that, we thought to fill our tummies so I brought him here. Wait, I think you didn't properly et Yating before, right?"
She pulled Yating forward. "Yating, he is Chen Zixin, Jun's cousin."
The ntion of Jun slightly stirred Guiying.
"And Zixin, he is Gu Yating, Chief Editor of Dream High and technically Cai Guiying's boss hehe."
They nodded and greeted each other.
Zixin said, "I have heard of you from Guiying."
"Sa. Chyou has talked about you from ti to ti. Nice to et you," he smiled.
Guiying politely bowed. "Hello."
Chyou smiled back at her. She didn't waste ti to leave after the introduction. "Sorry for suddenly calling you out, Zixin. I had no plans to disturb your date."
Date?
He tilted his head.
Guiying widened her eyes and quickly said, "Th-this is not a date! We c-ca just like that."
"..."
