Chi Yu seemed to have smelled the lingering scent of a mid-tier pet meal in the room. The unique and enticing aroma made it restless, with even its blood coursing with a faint surge of excitement.
The clever creature understood which man in this household was the best at cooking. It swiftly ran to Chen Xing, affectionately nuzzling his head with its own.
"What are you doing?"
"Ao woo, ao woo." Chi Yu kept calling out.
"There's none left, we've only got one meal left at home, and I'm saving it for Taotie. If you eat it, Taotie won't have enough."
Chen Xing said helplessly, "How about I cook another meal for you tomorrow?"
"Ao woo." Chi Yu looked pitifully at Chen Xing. Chen Xing understood its meaning— it said it would only eat a little bit, even just a taste would do.
"Just a little bit, huh... alright then. But you'll have to explain it to Taotie yourself."
"Ao woo~" Chi Yu jumped up excitedly, completely shedding its cool demeanor from before.
