Having caught a whiff of the sweet aroma of meat in its sleep, Toffeecito got up and followed the smell to Shen Xi. It meowed at Shen Xi for food.
Li Yuan scooped it up and placed it on his lap before whipping out some catnip from the treat bag. Immediately drawn by the catnip, the little good-for-nothing forgot all about the meat.
Shen Xi glanced at Toffeecito. Jeez, what a clingy cat.
Li Yuan explained with a smile. "It's feeling insecure to be in an unfamiliar environment. Toffeecito refuses to go anywhere but on my lap, afraid that I might ditch it."
The little thing was a smart one!
Shen Xi murmured in disdain, "Good for nothing!"
The catnip had Toffeecito purring, but it still managed to find time in between to whine in protest.
Shen Xi and Li Yuan just took off while Fu Qingli got into the car for a drive home.
