YBWYS

Chapter 22

The next day, "Tong Yao, what's that thing on your hand?" The team manager walked past her then backtracked, staring at the ugly flower on her hand, "Did you sign a contract with some strange thing to become a magical girl?"

Tong Yao was nestled in the sofa with the cat. She raised her eyes, about to complain, when a tall man, with luggage in tow, passed through the two who were in a conversation. He casually commented, "Aren't you a bit too old to become a magical girl by now?"

Tong Yao stood up from the sofa, "Speak nicely. You're about to leave, won't it be better to leave with a good memory of the two of us?"

"I'm coming back next Friday."

Lu Sicheng set his luggage down and started to look around at the base to see if he had forgotten anything.

Tong Yao: "Wallet, keys, cell phone."

Lu Sicheng paused to touch his pockets, "I have them all."

Tong Yao: "Go right ahead, Wukong."

Lu Sicheng slowly turned around, sizing Tong Yao up and down who was almost sinking into the sofa. His eyes finally rested on the cat in her arms. After a short pause, he spoke in his deep voice, "You better keep a good eye on this furry beast. This morning I saw it use its paw to stir inside my fishbowl."

"That's impossible." Tong Yao didn't believe him. "The cat's afraid of water."

"They're only afraid of water that doesn't have goldfish in it. There's cat hair inside the bowl."

Lu Sicheng brought the fishbowl to Tong Yao, "Look."

Dabing excitedly raised its bottom as the fishbowl came near. Tong Yao pushed the cat back onto the sofa. She took a look at the fishbowl. There were a few cat hairs floating in there.

"They flew in there."

"My sons are a mix between Italian and Russian purebloods. Their parents all have certificates. One costs 30,000, three will be 90,000. They aren't the cheap kind that you can buy from the market. You better be aware of that."

..........

One goldfish costed 30,000, who would believe that. They didn't look any different from those you could buy from the market?

If it was coming from any other person, Tong Yao would never have believed it. But it was coming from Lu Sicheng, who had paid five figures for hot pot, she believed him.

Were the sons more expensive or the hot pot?

Certainly, the sons were more expensive.

Though she didn't quite understand how she came up with the comparison, Tong Yao still sat up in the sofa and picked up Dabing, sighed, "Dabing, did you hear? These fish are expensive and dirty, you can never eat them."

Lu Sicheng: "Who's dirty?"

Tong Yao: "......Sorry."

"Shorty, there's a problem with the way you educate your cat. If it's something it shouldn't touch, then just tell it that it can't be touched." Lu Sicheng put the fishbowl back. "You can't touch it, it has nothing to do with the fact that it's unworthy to be touched."

.........

"I'm worried how your kids will turn out under your care."

"You can educate them if you're so good at it." Tong Yao put the cat down and countered without thinking, "I'm only responsible for giving birth, wouldn't that be wonderful."

She didn't realized what she had just said until a few seconds later, when everyone at the base, including Lu Sicheng, all turned to look at her quietly. She was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
