Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

"I know that my existence itself is synonymous with cuteness, and I can understand that you are deeply attracted by my cuteness, but isn't it a bit rude for you to keep looking at me like this?"

Xueno strategically withdrew her hand that was touching Xiaobai, and seemed to have returned to the way she was when Su Qing first saw her in the service club. Of course, the premise of all this was that Su Qing ignored the latter's red ears and the action of tightly twisting the corners of her clothes with both hands.

Su Qing didn't pay attention to Xue Nai's words, but asked:

"You seem to like cats?"

Yukino's current appearance is completely different from her usual appearance. If the other people in the school saw that the "Ice Queen" in their hearts had such a face...

But it’s actually quite good. No one can have only a weak side. Yukino is more real and, well, cuter.

"I don't have any particular preference for cats, but they are indeed very charming creatures. Every time I see them relaxing, I feel much calmer."

Although she said so, Su Qing could clearly hear the tenderness in her words.

"Then why don't you try to hold Xiaobai like I do?"

Su Qing looked at her with eyes that clearly showed she hadn't had enough, her face full of desire, so he gently held Xiaobai and handed her to Xueno.

"I...? I'll try."

When Xueno heard that Su Qing wanted her to hold Xiaobai like the latter, she felt a surge of excitement in her heart.

However, at the same time, a sense of tension surged over her like a tide, instantly filling her whole body. Her body became stiff, and even the hand that took Xiaobai was shaking slightly.

"Well, you can relax a little more."

Su Qing looked at Xue Noi who looked ready for battle and suggested.

But at this moment, Yukino obviously didn't listen. Or rather, she listened but her body was simply unable to cooperate with her thoughts.

"Meow...Meow? Meow!"

The moment he entered Xueno's arms, Xiaobai suddenly woke up, his blue pupils dilated at this moment, and he leaped into the air and ran behind Su Qing.

Xueno was still immersed in the joy of Su Qing holding Xiaobai in her arms, but Xiaobai nimbly escaped from her arms the next second, so that her expression froze instantly, her eyes full of disbelief.

“W-why…?”

It was obvious that Yukino, a cat lover, had her heart quietly broken at this moment.

What made Xueno even more surprised and at a loss was yet to come, because in her sight, Su Qing suddenly stood up, his figure kept getting bigger, his brows were furrowed, his expression was no longer as calm and composed as before, and her hand was also tightly grasped by a sudden force, that was Su Qing's hand.

"How are you? Are you scratched?"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in Su Qing's voice.

"Let go, you're using too much force."

Xueno had never been in such close contact with a member of the opposite sex, let alone doing such intimate things. She tried to struggle, but Su Qing was unexpectedly strong, so much so that she frowned and said coldly.

Xue No's words were like a splash of cold water on Su Qing's heart, and his boiling blood instantly cooled down.

Su Qing was startled, then loosened his grip on Xue Nai's hand, and stepped back involuntarily, apologizing:

"I'm sorry, I was too excited just now and hurt you. I think you were not scratched by it, right?"

After seeing Su Qing finally return to normal, Xueno's frown finally relaxed. Although she didn't know why Su Qing suddenly became like that, she could see the worry in his eyes clearly, so she didn't take it too seriously. Instead, she followed Su Qing's instructions and carefully checked both arms. After confirming that there were no scratches, she nodded:

"I'm fine, but Xiaobai..."

Because of the commotion the two of them just caused, Xiaobai was frightened and left without knowing when.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

Su Qing murmured a few words in a low voice, and then returned to his usual gentle and carefree look and asked:

"Let me call Xiaobai out for you."

Just when Xue Nai was wondering what Su Qing was going to call, she saw Su Qing clapped his hands lightly and called softly: "Xiao Bai."

Then Xueno was surprised to see a flash of white appearing from a bush nearby, first the head, then the body, and finally the tail. When it saw Su Qing, its eyes narrowed immediately, and then it walked towards Su Qing with light steps, until it fell into his arms.

How did you do it?

At this moment, Xueno really had a big puzzle in her little head. She really didn't understand why she had spent many days trying to get close to Xiaobai, but Su Qing only needed to clap his hands and call Xiaobai and it would come out by itself.

Could it be that Su Qing also worshipped the cat god? And the cat god she worshipped was more effective and reliable than the one she worshipped?

"how did you do it?"

Xueno finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart and asked.

"what?"

Su Qing had been trying to calm down his emotions since the beginning, so his reaction became slow. After hearing what Xue No said, he responded subconsciously.

"That is, how do you manage to make it appear immediately when you call it and behave as well as it does now?"

Xueno looked at Xiaobai, who looked like a good baby in Su Qing's arms. He was completely different from when he was in her arms just now. What Xueno didn't know was that at this moment, her face was full of desire.

If I could be like Su Qing, wouldn't I be able to...

"I'm sorry, I probably can't teach you. When I was very young, some stray cats and dogs liked to stay around me. I don't know why."

Su Qing shook his head and explained. But what he said was half true and half false. He really couldn't teach the other party how to do it like him, but he had a general understanding of the reasons why this happened.

Perhaps he had the same smell as a stray cat, not a physical smell, but more abstractly, more like a spiritual smell...

So, I already had the talent of [Absolute Sense of Smell] long before I traveled through time, but I just didn't know it?

There was a hint of darkness in Su Qing's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. Xueno's attention was focused on Xiaobai at the moment, so it was impossible for her to notice this moment.

"That's it..."

Yukino said this with regret, but quickly adjusted herself.

She knew that many things could not be forced. Moreover, even if Su Qing could not teach her, she believed that she would be able to move Xiaobai with her own efforts and sincerity.

"But I think I can teach you how to better approach Xiaobai, at least to not make it wary. Do you want to learn? I'll teach you."

Su Qing suddenly asked.

"Yes! I'll learn!"

Su Qing's words seemed to inadvertently touch a switch deep in Xueno's heart, and her voice instantly rose a few degrees, with imperceptible excitement and eagerness.

Su Qing was slightly stunned by this sudden change, and then quickly adjusted his expression and returned to his calm and composed appearance, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself in his heart: "You said you don't like cats, but this reaction shows that you are a hidden cat lover."

Xue No also quickly realized her own loss of composure, her cheeks slightly flushed, she took a deep breath, readjusted herself, cleared her throat, and said sincerely:

"Well, please!"
