The more Shen Shuci thought, the more agitated she felt. After parking in her complex, just as she entered the building and the sensor light came on, that familiar figure appeared in front of her…

…holding an orange cat in his arms.

This was the first time Shen Shuci saw him in uniform. Clad in military attire, he was the very picture of a dashing soldier. Even in silence, just standing there, he exuded an air of sternness.

Shen Shuci didn’t consider herself superficial or particularly fond of uniforms, but he looked so impressive in that outfit, and she was very aware that he was watching her, too…

The look in his eyes was warm and intense.

However, the cage and other items at his feet, along with the cat in his arms, clashed with his cool and serious demeanor. The kitten in his arms mewed softly at Shen Shuci twice.

“You’re here late, what’s up?”

“I have to return to the base for a while; the cat will stay with you.”

“Your family doesn’t have anyone at home?” There were so many people at the Huo Family, why leave the cat with her?

“Just a bunch of clumsy men.”

Huo Family: “…”

There was a steady stream of people in the community, and his stature alone drew attention. Wearing such attire made everyone passing by take a second look.

They couldn’t always stand in front of the building to talk.

Shen Shuci herself had a desire to keep a cat. She moistened her lips and said, “I’m not sure if my landlord would allow me to keep a cat—I’ll need to make a call.”

After all, it was a rental place, and some landlords do not allow tenants to have pets.

“Come up with me first.”

Then… Shen Shuci let the wolf into her home once again.

But the people from the Huo Family left outside were not pleased!

What did he mean calling them a bunch of clumsy men? If he wanted an excuse to get closer to Miss Shen, he didn’t have to attack them, did he?

…

By the time he came downstairs, half an hour had passed. It was dark outside. He got in the car and drove straight to the base, only stopping at a service area for everyone to take a break. That’s when they noticed…

…his lip seemed to be split.

Everyone was dumbfounded again. What on earth had he done in that short half-hour?
