Chapter 31: 10. Try to connect basketball with chickens_4
"The President wants to ask about how to raise a cat?"
"Ah, not really..."
Yan Huan chuckled and still asked:
"I want to ask, Sakuragi, why do you like cats?"
"..."
There was a sudden silence on the other end.
"Vice President Sakuragi?"
"Because they're cute."
Just as Yan Huan wanted to follow up with another question, Sakuragi Hitomi suddenly spoke without warning, catching Yan Huan off-guard.
"emm..."
Cats are indeed cute, but are jellyfish cute?
They seem fine, but somehow it doesn't feel like the right answer.
The faint silhouette of overalls in front of him began to fade, seemingly telling Yan Huan that this was not the proper connection between basketball and chicken.
"Is there anything else?"
"President, are you asking, apart from their appearance, what quality it is on cats that I like?"
Right, could it possibly be related to some quality of jellyfish?
"Yep, what kind of quality in cats does Sakuragi like?"
"Well... because cats are very independent, yet they can act spoiled with their owners when needed. They're both strong and vulnerable, like children; they are independent individuals but still have to rely on their parents... Apart from cuteness, that's the only reason."
Vice President Sakuragi sighed and explained,
"But, President, everyone has different reasons for liking something.
"It may be that in some things they find a quality they crave or lack, maybe the thing itself resembles them, or maybe it makes them feel safe, comfortable... and so on.
"So, in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. It's not so much that people like the thing itself, but rather, they like the piece of themselves that resides in the object."
Listening to Vice President Sakuragi's pleasant voice, Yan Huan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
A lacking quality...
The beautiful profile of Ye Shiyu watching the jellyfish today involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
She stared blankly at the glowing jellyfish in the tank, watching them pulsing through the water.
Motion, that vital motion.
Her black eyes reflected the luminous jellyfish in the tank, twinkling like teardrops...
It seems like poultry feet have been exposed.
"Thank you so much, Sakuragi."
Yan Huan suddenly sat up and said this to the female voice on the Bluetooth headset.
Although it was just a guess, it finally gave him some clues.
Of course, that was something for him to deal with tomorrow.
Listening to Yan Huan's gratitude, the female voice on the phone fell silent.
Then, Sakuragi Hitomi guessed once more,
"President, why do I feel that what you really want to ask isn't the reason why I like cats?"
"I've noted it, Sakuragi."
Yan Huan was quick on the uptake, starting to speak as promptly as her.
"Ah?"
"I remember why you like cats now."
Sakuragi Hitomi sighed helplessly,
"Well, whatever, it's probably related to your family matters, President; I shouldn't comment on it. Get some rest early, President, glad I could help."
"You too, good night."
"Yeah."
The call ended, he took off the Bluetooth headset and looked at the door.
Hmm, the door wasn't knocked on.
So, is tonight a peaceful night?
That shouldn't be the case, Yan Huan still thought she would come over to vent on him tonight because she had a mishap and lost something.
But it didn't happen?
Even better, who would like to be hypnotized.
Yan Huan shook his head, stood up, stretched, and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
Meanwhile, outside the room on the staircase, Ye Shiyu, dressed in pajamas, carrying a phone and milk, was coming up from downstairs.
Reaching the second floor, she glanced in the direction of Yan Huan's room.
"..."
Seemingly hesitant, but after a moment of silence, she turned and headed to the third floor.
Because she had other things to do tonight.
