"She got her heart broken in-game and didn't want to play anymore. Don't worry about it. Just leave. I don't ever want to see you again," Fang Yi said as he grabbed Su Ran to drag him out. Du Qianze stood off to the side, not stopping him. This time, Su Ran really had crossed the line—there was nothing he could do to help.

"Brother..." Fang Yue suddenly ran over from the side, eyes red, stopping Fang Yi. "I heard everything you guys said. I want to talk to him."

"What's there to talk about? He used a girl avatar—what else could be real? What could you even have to say to him?" Right now, Fang Yi really wished Fang Yue liked girls instead. At least that would've been a more dependable partner.

"Brother..." Fang Yue looked at Fang Yi.

"Fine, fine, I'm out of it. You talk. I'll leave Naima and Pei Datou with you. If anything happens, just let them handle it. If anyone gets bitten, I'll take responsibility, got it?" Fang Yi patted her head and helplessly dragged Du Qianze upstairs with him.

"It's okay. I actually know a bit about Su Ran. He's dated two girlfriends before, but he's never been the player type. He never had any scandals when he was in a relationship. He always took it seriously. Both times, they broke up because of the girl. Don't worry—he wouldn't play around with Xiao Yue's feelings," Du Qianze said. And he wasn't just repeating random gossip—he'd heard this from pretty reliable sources.

"Let's hope so," Fang Yi nodded. "If he really dares to mess with Xiao Yue, I'll chop him up and feed him to the dogs in the backyard."

Du Qianze couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. Su Ran had definitely made a terrible first impression on Fang Yi. If he really managed to start something with Fang Yue, the road ahead was going to be rough—just getting past Fang Yi was going to be tough enough.

After Fang Yi got back to his room, he couldn't stop thinking about Fang Yue. But it was totally quiet downstairs. He waited and waited, and eventually fell asleep. By the time he woke up, it was already bright out.

Sunlight streamed into the room, and Naima jumped on the bed to lick him awake. Pei Datou and the others were behind him, all staring at Fang Yi, waiting for him to get ready for their morning run.

Fang Yi changed clothes, didn't brush his teeth or wash his face, and ran downstairs first. When he saw Fang Yue still at the counter, perfectly fine, he finally let out a breath of relief. He asked her how things went last night.

"It was whatever. I told him to let my brother recover my character first. We'll hang out in-game for a while longer. The rest, we'll talk about later. At the very least, I really like being around him right now," Fang Yue said casually.

"You forgave him that easily?" Fang Yi felt like she might've made that decision too fast.

"What else was I supposed to do? Cry and scream at him? Force him to do something super dramatic to apologize to me? I'm not a kid anymore. I don't need that kind of fake romantic crap. What I want is someone I can actually build a life with. Su Ran's a rare find—I don't want to let him go. But..." Fang Yue grinned wickedly, "he lied to me for that long. If he wants me to forgive him, it's not gonna be that easy."

"As long as you know what you're doing. Just don't let him mess with you. If he does, remember to come find your big bro," Fang Yi said, ruffling her hair and totally messing it up.

"Got it. If Su Ran really tricks me, I'll drag you with me to beat him up—so bad his own mom won't recognize him," Fang Yue muttered while trying to fix her hair. Fang Yi's ruffle had absolutely wrecked it.

"As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Oh yeah, didn't you go see that movie Qianze was in? Can we still catch it?" Now that he knew Fang Yue was okay, Du Qianze finally brought the topic back to himself. He'd read online that one of the top things couples do together is eat out, go shopping, or watch a movie.

Naima watched as Fang Yi translated his words, swishing his tail on the side, then praised him and turned to the little stray cats, letting out a few howls.

The little stray cat Tian Yanming had his eye on licked its mouth and proudly strutted over to him, then sat down and stared at him.

"Well? Are you okay with it taking its siblings with it?" Fang Yi didn't even need Naima to translate—he already understood what the kitten meant.

"I... I'm okay with it." Tian Yanming answered excitedly, clinging to Fang Yi and repeatedly asking if the kitten really agreed to go home with him.

"You can ask it yourself." Fang Yi pointed at the little cat in front of him.

Tian Yanming carefully squatted down and reached out to pet the kitten's head, asking it excitedly, "Do you want to come home with me?"

This time, the kitten didn't react like before. It gently meowed twice and even licked Tian Yanming's palm, then tilted its head and looked at him.

Seeing the kitten act like that, Tian Yanming practically melted. He carefully scooped it into his arms and refused to let go.

"You need to take the other two too." Fang Yi was worried Tian Yanming would forget about the other kittens, so he reminded him again.

"Okay, I'll take them all." Tian Yanming excitedly picked up the remaining two stray cats. Since they weren't very familiar with him and had been interrupted while eating, they were pretty annoyed. They jumped out of his arms, growled softly, and took up a defensive stance.

The kitten in Tian Yanming's arms gently meowed twice at its two siblings. The two stray cats slowly let down their guard and reluctantly walked over to Tian Yanming's side.

Naima saw what was happening, walked up to them, lowered his head, and said a few things. Fang Yi had no clue what he was saying, but guessed he was probably teaching them some manners—telling them not to use their claws recklessly once they started living with humans. Since they'd decided to move in with someone, they had to follow human rules: act cute when they're happy, scratch the couch and toss stuff around when they're not, and that would be enough.

"You're really sure you want to take all three?" Fang Yi double-checked.

"Yeah, don't worry. I'll treat them well." Tian Yanming nodded, still feeling like he was dreaming. He suddenly had three cats of his own.

"If you're really going to raise them, there's something you have to take seriously. I can tell the one you like most is the one in your arms. But you're taking all three, so you can't just treat one especially well. You have to treat all of them the same. If you don't, the other two will get hurt. Can you promise that?" Fang Yi didn't bother bringing up the shop rules—just by looking at Tian Yanming, he could tell those cats would have a great life at his place.
