Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Dong Yunshan is trying to clear her mind.
He was using his excellent body control to avoid an awkward situation for both of them.
Inhale... exhale...
Think about the meaning of life, think about the mysteries of the universe.
We are but mayflies in the vastness of the universe, a mere grain of millet in the boundless ocean.
I lament the brevity of my life, and envy the endless flow of the Yangtze River.
Riding on a flying immortal to roam freely, holding... holding in one's arms, sitting on one's lap... no, that's not right.
The ragdoll cat happily squinted its eyes and gently nuzzled Yukino Yukinoshita's hand with its head.
Feeling the warm, fluffy texture in her palm, Yukino Yukinoshita blue eyes shimmered, and a gentle smile bloomed quietly like the morning light refracted through ice crystals.
Dong Yunshan stared blankly at her smiling face, and all the wild thoughts churning in his mind suddenly quieted down.
That is something that can bring peace of mind.
"Look~" Yukino Yukinoshita cupped the ragdoll cat's face in her hands, "Its two eyes are different colors, okay..."
"... Beautiful." Dong Yunshan murmured softly.
"I feel the same way..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked up, meeting Dong Yunshan's gaze.
With a blink of her icy blue eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita saw only her own reflection in Dong Yunshan's eyes.
Was he talking about a cat too?
Yukino Yukinoshita, and all the events that had happened before suddenly surged into her mind.
Dong Yunshan doesn't seem to have paid much attention to cats.
Previously, when she was listening to a lecture on feline behavior, she was only slightly disappointed, so Dong Yunshan asked her why she didn't get a cat.
He not only noticed her disappointment, but also guessed the underlying reason for it.
When she was looking at the plant origin wall, she had just finished one part and wanted to see the rest, but Dong Yunshan would immediately pick her up and start moving her around.
It was precisely because this movement without communication so perfectly suited Yukino Yukinoshita's feelings that she didn't remember Dong Yunshan had been holding her until she had seen the entire wall.
And when facing Yui Yuigahama, Yukino Yukinoshita was about to hide it when Dong Yunshan discovered it.
When faced with Yui Yuigahama's question, Yukino Yukinoshita's unanswered question was answered first by Dong Yunshan.
When Sable ran over, when he passed through the dog show area, and right now...
He was looking at her intently.
Volume 6: Chapter 238 Differential Treatment
Have we gotten so close without even realizing it?
So close that...
Yukino Yukinoshita turned her gaze back to Dong Yunshan's face.
It's so close that I can see it so clearly.
Her cherry lips were slightly pursed, then parted slightly.
Warm breath lingered on her glistening lips.
If we were closer, would we be able to see it more clearly?
We're already so close.
If we get any closer...
It ran over the cat.
The ragdoll cat meowed in protest, shook off Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, shook its head, and left the increasingly crowded embrace.
Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan turned to look at the Ragdoll cat, who meowed, wagged its tail, and left.
Dong Yunshan noticed the Ragdoll cat's eyes and softly exclaimed, "They're really beautiful."
"...Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita swayed against Dong Yunshan, "P-Put me down..."
Dong Yunshan Yukino Yukinoshita on the sofa before bending down to play with the cat.
A curly-haired cat obediently came over and gently rubbed against his hand.
She nudged him a couple of times, then looked up at him.
According to normal procedure, Dong Yunshan should pick up the cat.
Dong Yunshan bent down and continued touching.
The curly-haired cat rubbed against the Dong Yunshan a couple more times, then squatted down in front of it.
Aren't you going to hug me?
Dong Yunshan bent down and stroked the curly-haired cat's head.
Curly-haired cat:???
Why isn't this person following the procedure? (3717291)
The curly-haired cat seemed a little bewildered.
The black and white cat didn't care where it was; seeing Dong Yunshan bending over, it jumped directly onto his back.
The tabby cat couldn't stand it and came over to slap the black and white cat.
The black and white cat stood on the back of the Dong Yunshan and fought back, but the tabby cat was not to be outdone. It pressed one paw against the Dong Yunshan's back and attacked with the other paw.
The calico cat came over to mediate the fight, sniffing around.
Dong Yunshan tried to straighten up, and the black and white cat climbed onto his shoulder, turning its head to look at his head, as if wondering where he had come from.
The curly-haired cat seized the opportunity to jump onto the Dong Yunshan's lap and looked up at him.
Are you going to hug me or not?
Dong Yunshan patted the curly-haired cat, making it purr happily.
An orange cat, attracted by the sound, squeezed over to see what delicious food was available.
As soon as Yukino Yukinoshita got off Dong Yunshan, several cats ran onto Dong Yunshan.
When we went to the cat cafe before, there were many cats playing with the Dong Yunshan.
But it wasn't as enthusiastic as it is today...
Seeing a Siamese cat rubbing its face against the arm of the Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly realized the key to the matter.
Cats naturally prefer to be near people with higher body temperatures. People like Dong Yunshan, who are active and have a lot of muscle mass, have more stable heat dissipation, making them more attractive to cats.
As a male, his voice has a relatively lower frequency, which is closer to the frequency range of communication between cats, making the cat feel familiar.
That's why Dong Yunshan was able to play so happily with the cats back when they were at the cat cafe.
As for why the cats were so enthusiastic today...
Palmitic acid in human sweat has a similar structure to cat facial pheromones. When some people secrete high levels of palmitic acid, cats will actively rub their faces against each other to mark their kin.
Dong Yunshan carried Yukino Yukinoshita for a long distance and was sweating, making her even more attractive to the cats than usual.
The evidence is that several cats were near the left side of Yukino Yukinoshita's body.
That was when Dong Yunshan was holding her, and she was pressed tightly against Dong Yunshan's chest.
Yukino Yukinoshita understands this principle.
But...
The cat only got a little close to Yukino Yukinoshita, but then sensed something was wrong and turned back to snuggle up to Dong Yunshan.
Several cats had already climbed onto Dong Yunshan, but Yukino Yukinoshita simply sat alone on the sofa.
Happiness belongs to Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita has nothing.
The disparity in treatment is too obvious.
Dong Yunshan picked up a cat and placed it on Yukino Yukinoshita's lap. Wherever Yukino Yukinoshita's hand touched, the cat's body would naturally sink in to prevent her from touching it.
The cat meowed twice after being petted, then ran over to the Dong Yunshan.
Dong Yunshan then picked up another cat and handed it to Yukino Yukinoshita.
Yukino Yukinoshita could even raise her hand, the cat ran back to Dong Yunshan's lap.
The third cat crouched beside Dong Yunshan, tilting its fluffy little head up and looking at him expectantly.
Dong Yunshan picked up the cat and placed it on Yukino Yukinoshita's lap, and the kitten happily ran back.
It seems to be being used as an interactive game.
Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."
Dong Yunshan opened her arms to Yukino Yukinoshita: "Why don't you come over here?"
Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him, then turned to look at the other cats.
The problem is that although Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita if no one else is around, there are still other people in the interaction area.
It's impossible for all the cats to come here, and Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't want to bother the ones that don't come.
Dong Yunshan was stopping the black and white cat on her shoulder and the tabby cat on her lap from fighting when she suddenly felt her body touch something familiar and soft.
Yukino Yukinoshita had moved over at some point, like the Siamese on the other side of Dong Yunshan's body, and gently leaned against him.
When Dong Yunshan turned to look at him, Yukino Yukinoshita Dong Yunshan glanced away, avoiding his gaze, before meeting his eyes again.
Just to sample the flavor.
Dong Yunshan reached out her hand to Yukino Yukinoshita, just as she had rubbed Siamese's head.
"Don't touch me..." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, watching helplessly as Dong Yunshan's hand approached.
Then came two muffled sounds.
Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita lean her head closer, the black and white cat stared blankly for a while, then raised its paw and delivered two powerful cat punches.
If Dong Yunshan hadn't raised his hand to block it, it probably would have hit Yukino Yukinoshita directly on the head.
The cow-coated cat struck twice, but missed. It stretched its neck to avoid Dong Yunshan's hand and aimed again at Yukino Yukinoshita's head.
Dong Yunshan opened her palms to protect Yukino Yukinoshita's head, giving the black and white cat a warning look.
The black and white cat awkwardly licked its paws and then washed its face with them, looking quite busy.
With her head protected by Dong Yunshan's hand, Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously tilted her head and ended up leaning on Dong Yunshan's shoulder.
Their bodies were close together, their legs pressed together.
The orange cat, who had initially felt a bit cramped, suddenly realized that the platform had expanded. It lazily got up and placed its paw on Yukino Yukinoshita's leg.
Yukino Yukinoshita's delicate brows furrowed slightly; the orange cat's claw struck like a sharp awl.
The weight, far exceeding that of a normal cat, pressed down on the tiny cat's paws, creating an alarmingly strong pressure.
The orange cat stomped several times firmly before lying down again and tucking its two front paws in.
Yukino Yukinoshita tentatively touched the orange cat.
There was no dent this time.
Solid.
Feeling the soft, fluffy texture filling her palm, Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at Dong Yunshan with delight.
Once again, I saw myself through his eyes.
Volume 6: Chapter 239 Choosing a Gift
"Okay..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly, "It's so soft."
Dong Yunshan blinked. "The softer one is on me."
Softer...
Physical contact that I had become accustomed to suddenly became impossible to ignore.
The warmth of the Dong Yunshan seeped through the clothes and onto the skin.
