Handsomeness Is a Lifetime Thing

Upon seeing the police officer, the old lady panicked. She turned to look at Xia Yu and, seeing he had run under the bed, she felt relieved.

She then looked at the police officer: "How could you barge into a private residence?"

The officer stepped back, revealing the landlord behind him, indicating that it was the landlord who had opened the door.

"This officer has a matter to discuss with you." The landlord glanced around the room before turning and leaving.

The old lady looked at the officer again. He was a strong, white officer, and she felt slightly relieved.

"Ma'am, I came here to investigate a pet theft at a shop five or six blocks away from here," the officer said.

"What does it have to do with me when it's so far away?" The old lady stood at the door, not allowing the officer to enter the room.

"But the surveillance camera of the supermarket across the street captured you wandering around there last night. Can you tell me why you were there?"

The old lady became nervous. She had managed to avoid the pet shop's camera, but she had not expected to have been caught by the supermarket's camera across the street.

"May I look inside the room?" the officer asked again.

"No!" The cat was in the room, and it would definitely be found if checked.

"Can you tell me the reason? Maybe I can wait here while you tidy up?" The officer was persistent.

"Then I'll have to close the door first…"

Before she could finish, the officer said, "I also have a colleague downstairs at your house. You can see him through the window."

The officer meant not to think about throwing the cat out of the window, as he had another colleague watching at the window.

The old lady had no choice but to let the officer in, praying that he wouldn't check under the bed.

The room was small, with just enough space for a bed, a table, and a cabinet. The officer checked the cabinet and boxes but found nothing.

"See, I told you the cat has nothing to do with me!" the old lady insisted.

"Let me take a look under the bed, and then I'll apologize for bothering you," the officer said with a smile.

The old lady broke out in a cold sweat.

"I haven't tidied under the bed in a long time, so it might be a mess."

"It's okay, I've even been in basements full of cobwebs."

The officer bent down and looked under the bed.

"Can you give me a flashlight?" he asked.

"No."

Seeing the flashlight on the cabinet, the officer smiled and took a flashlight from his pocket: "No worries, I have one."

This man was deliberately teasing her! The old lady was angry and very nervous.

A Persian cat was not cheap, and the store was high-end. If she were discovered, she would likely go to jail for a while. What would happen to Tina then?

Would they send my Tina to an orphanage?

The officer had turned on the flashlight and was shining it under the bed.

The old lady had already prepared herself to accept her fate.

But the officer didn't laugh victoriously.

He stood up, looking displeased.

"It seems that you've already gotten rid of the cat."

The officer's words left the old lady puzzled.

Wasn't the cat under the bed?

Suddenly, the old lady's pupils dilated, and she saw the white cat standing behind the officer's feet.

Her expression did not escape the officer's observation. The officer turned around, but there was nothing.

He turned around in place again, looked at other places, and found nothing.

The old lady was already astonished, as she watched the white cat seem to stick to the officer's heels. Wherever the officer turned, the cat followed, always staying in the officer's blind spot.

This scene was too comical, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The officer felt that the old lady was laughing at him.

He looked to Tina on the side: "Little friend, have you seen a white..."

The old lady interrupted him while holding Tina in her arms: "What do you expect a child to say? What could she know about it!"

"Alright, sorry to bother you, ma'am." The officer put back his flashlight in his pocket and left the room.

By the window, after seeing him leave with his partner, the old lady hugged Xia Yu: "You really are a clever little one."

As she spoke, she wanted to kiss Xia Yu's face, but Xia Yu quickly stretched out his paw to stop her.

Escaping from the old lady's palm, Xia Yu came to the windowsill and watched the departing police car.

He had seen the policeman who had just come in. At noon, he would approach a pet store employee under the pretext of patrolling. Otherwise, there was no way the police from the Secondary District would be handling cases in the middle of the night.

They might even still be watching the old lady.

It was difficult for a cat to hide.

However, Xia Yu had no other choice.

"Grandma," Tina's voice sounded, and Xia Yu looked at the girl.

He couldn't quite make out what the girl was saying to her grandmother, but it seemed to be about him, as the two of them kept looking at him.

Five minutes later, Tina hugged Xia Yu sadly, placing him on her lap and stroking his fur.

What had they been talking about, what did they want to do?

Xia Yu realized the importance of mastering a foreign language.

Under Tina's gentle touch, he slowly fell asleep.

At eight o'clock, he got up from bed and saw Comfort Lv1 in his skill list, Xia Yu smiled.

He wanted to try it on Yuxue.

Today was Saturday, and there was no school.

Exiting the room, Yuxue was already in the kitchen making breakfast. Her mood had been good lately, as the 5,000 Xia Yu had earned from the black cat mission had all been given to her.

Now was not a good time to test.

Once Yuxue had put the finishing touches on the breakfast and brought it to the table, Xia Yu recalled the sensation of purring with his white cat body. He tried to purr, but he was unsuccessful.

That's because he felt ashamed.

Purring in broad daylight, how embarrassing!

And in front of his younger sister, no less!

Could it be changed to another sound without using the purr?

He hummed a tune, a folk melody called "Midday Sun," which was a song rewritten from a piano composition in praise of the sun.

Yuxue, who had been eating her breakfast with energy, slowly became drowsy. She yawned.

"I feel so sleepy, I'll go back to bed for a while." She quickly finished her breakfast and went back to her room to sleep.

Xia Yu sat by the table, stroking his chin.

This skill was quite powerful.

Making people suddenly feel sleepy...

Wait a minute, that's actually not very useful. Yuxue only went to sleep because she was at home. How could others fall asleep just because they felt a little sleepy?

Entering Yuxue's room, Xia Yu looked at the sleeping girl. Her face was peaceful, and she seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Maybe this skill could be used to treat insomnia.

If you go for the high-end market, charging several hundred at once should not be a problem.

But it's too much trouble.

Lying in bed, he hummed a tune for himself and then fell asleep.

In the afternoon, after finishing work, he came to Kong Hanyue's home and continued to learn the guzheng.

"Your technique is already very good, but you haven't made any progress at all on the core of our Flower Sect!" Liu Ronglan looked at Xia Yu with disappointment, "Where is your handsome charm? Where is your temperament? Pleasing to both the eye and ear is the concept of our Flower Sect!"

"Can other guzhengs look as good as ours? Even if other guzhengs are played well, can their performances be as beautiful as ours? Why do TV shows always invite your grandmother and me, and only invite the others if they can't invite me? It's because I'm the most beautiful!"

Liu Ronglan was determined to correct Xia Yu's misguided pursuit, and she kept talking.

"..."

Glancing at the elegance skill in his skill bar, Xia Yu knew it was time to use it.
