She'd tried everything to persuade her, stopping just short of crying and throwing a tantrum...
In truth, all of that would only backfire with Su Youjin.
But after hearing the other girl's situation...
Honestly, she was a little moved, and had her own suspicions.
As it happened, the girl came to see her just before she invited Master Xiao for afternoon tea...
Su Youjin agreed to help her.
But she also made one thing clear in advance.
There were no guarantees.
"U-Uncle Li."
The sudden pain made the young man furrow his brows.
They'd brought the cat along on that camping trip.
"Where did you hurt yourself?"
Seeing the Persian cat still staring at her without moving, Master Xiao's tone turned sharp.
Su Youjin left the decision up to Master Xiao.
She was pleased with the day she'd chosen.
Uncle Li's pupils contracted for an instant.
Uncle Li knew, of course, that Green Jade was the young lady's cat.
What put him somewhat at ease was that, at least on the surface, Master Xiao didn't seem seriously hurt.
Master Xiao thought of the documentaries she'd watched, as well as the videos other people had uploaded...
"Meow~"
The girl repeated what she'd said.
"Meow!"
"Why are you so stupid?"
Master Xiao hugged her Persian cat and lounged on the chair someone had set up for her, perfectly at ease.
After watching the Persian cat's back for a while, she shifted her gaze to the side.
Those eyes, the most beautiful ones she'd ever seen and the reason she'd named her that, were tightly shut. She couldn't see them...
The other girl also needed to be prepared for things not to turn out as she hoped.
The sun was bright and the sky was clear.
She'd never imagined...
