Chapter 707: Chapter 216: With Superpower (3)
Xue Zhiyi held up the cat, "The cat is good, I will keep it."
"No way, did you forget how you got scratched by cats before?" Yi Xue knew her son liked small animals, but every time they had pets, he got hurt, so over time, she just bought stuffed animals for him.
Nowadays, stuffed animals are made quite realistically.
They’re just too realistic, and the cost is high. It might as well be better to buy real cats and dogs, so the realism got greatly discounted.
Xue Zhiyi got bored after playing for a while.
"No." Xue Zhiyi suddenly got angry, holding onto the stuffed toy and refusing to let go.
"Why won’t you listen? Be good, you can’t keep them; they always hurt you."
"No." Xue Zhiyi avoided Yi Xue’s hand reaching out to him and ran behind Ji Li. He was pretty smart, knowing Su Xiaocai couldn’t block him, he intentionally went to a taller person.
Su Xiaocai watched Xue Zhiyi as he urgently dodged, carefully protecting the toy without clutching it tightly, so she knew he had some control.
Someone who can communicate with small animals, how could he be hurt every time he keeps a pet?
Xue Zhiyi was tense, clutching Su Xiaocai’s clothes for help, "Sister."
Ji Li: "..." You hide with me, yet you ask my girlfriend for help, what a little green tea introvert.
With Su Xiaocai and Ji Li standing there, Yi Xue and the bodyguards didn’t dare to be too rough. Yi Xue only spoke gently to Xue Zhiyi, trying to make him come back on his own.
But things didn’t go as she hoped; Xue Zhiyi was emboldened and stubborn, keeping his head down playing with his stuffed toy, refusing to look at Yi Xue.
Yi Xue had to turn her gaze back to Su Xiaocai, "Miss Su, long time no see."
"Miss Yi, it’s still early. Sit down, let’s have a chat."
Yi Xue didn’t really feel there was much to discuss. She was afraid of saying the wrong thing and revealing some information to Su Xiaocai.
Because of Xue Zhiyi, she had to contain her anxiety and sit down.
The bodyguards, knowing better, retreated far away, just keeping watch over Yi Xue to prevent anything from happening.
With Su Xiaocai there, it’s probably safer than at home.
"What does Su Xiaocai want to talk about? I remember, you hate our Xue Family."
Su Xiaocai: "Hate? Not really, I dislike Xue Huiyi, so I just hate everything associated. Xue Zhiyi is alright, so I can overlook this dislike."
Upper-class people love to talk in a roundabout way, and Yi Xue seldom encountered straightforward young people like Su Xiaocai.
Yi Xue was momentarily at a loss for words.
"So?" Yi Xue kept it concise, "Why is my child with you?"
"I don’t know." Su Xiaocai picked up the chubby black cat by her feet and placed it on her lap, gently stroking it.
Hui Bai is the most docile cat in the house, but it usually doesn’t like being touched; only the few bodyguards who raise it can hold it and pet it.
Su Xiaocai exuded a strong aura, even pregnant Ah Bao didn’t dare to resist—thus, Hui Bai was completely on alert, yet didn’t dare to escape.
After a while, surrendering to Su Xiaocai’s magical touch, Hui Bai lay flat, letting itself be petted; there was no choice, the master’s hand was skilled, too comfortable.
"Why is Miss Yi asking me this question? Shouldn’t you ask yourself why Xue Zhiyi could come here? I’m the type who doesn’t actively violate someone’s boundaries. If violated, I make sure to do it all the way." Xue Huiyi is an example, Su Xiaocai continued, "I didn’t intend to have further connections with the Xue Family, so how Xue Zhiyi came here, I don’t know."
Yi Xue was speechless. As soon as Xue Zhiyi went missing, she was out looking everywhere, called the police, checked surveillance, and the Law Enforcement Department’s AI indicated he walked out of the restaurant by himself, and soon disappeared from the monitors.
Clearly still in the surveillance area, yet vanished from the monitors, Yi Xue couldn’t be more worried.
In the past few months, too many unsettling events have happened, if not for the twist of fate reaching the manor side, Xue Zhiyi might truly have been lost.
Yi Xue shook with fear, bit her lip, lowered her eyes, "Sorry, thank you, my son troubled you."
"You’re welcome." Su Xiaocai wanted to chat, surely not just asking about these things, "Aunt Yi, can I call you that?"
"Mhm."
Su Xiaocai went straight to the point, "Did you know your son has superpowers?"
Yi Xue, slightly out of sorts, suddenly raised her head, "What?"
"Your son probably has superpowers, able to communicate with small animals."
"Impossible, he..." For her son’s health, Xue Zhiyi, after turning fifteen, had arrangements to practice Qi Sensing Exercise. He was slower than others but managed to finish learning; now he insists on practicing twice every day.
Yi Xue felt an inexplicable fear, a voice inside her told her, stop pursuing, stop, or it will be your fault.
