Lu Yebai, in the office, was subjected to relentless ridicule from his visitor, Lun You.
Lu Yebai, expressionless, tapped his desk with his pen and said coldly, "Laugh one more time and I'll have security toss you out of the front gate. Do you believe me?"
Lun You reined in his laughter, came over and threw an arm around Lu Yebai's shoulders and said with a beaming smile, "Come on, don't be petty. My laughter won't take a bite out of you. But speaking of..." He raised his hand, hooked Lu Yebai's chin, and marveled, "I can't believe someone could damage your face like this. If I didn't know you had someone at home, I would have thought you kept an undisciplined cat."
Lu Yebai swatted-away Lun You's hand and leaned back in his office chair, giving him an indifferent glance.
Wasn't it a cat, though?
Moreover, it's a wild cat that wanted to escape even when confined in a cage.
He questioned if it would ever become domesticated.
