“Threatening people to replace them with substitutes…...Is this how you deal with this?”Tong Yao lifted her hand to push Lu Sicheng’s face away: “Go tell them yourself if that’s what you’re going to say. I won't pass something so offensive to them.”
“Then what should I say?”
“Use more loving care.”
“They aren’t you.” Lu Sicheng said with a matter-of-fact tone of voice: “Who has that much loving care to spare? It would be a waste to use loving care on them.”
“You haven’t really given me much loving care either. You stood behind me while I was playing ranked and said I was doing this wrong or that wrong, or I had bought weird items, or I moved like a handicap person. Is all that words of loving care? Do you really know what loving care means, I truly doubt it.” Tong Yao pinched the tip of Lu Sicheng’s straight nose: “Sometimes, you even get Ming god to join you at taunting the team. Ming god wasn’t even interested, do you know?”
Lu Sicheng gave her words some serious thought, then said matter-of-factly: “It’s slander. I’ve never done anything like that.”
Tong Yao pushed him away to sit up.
But she was pressed back down into the bed.
“What are you doing?”
“Giving you loving care?”
As he was speaking, he lowered his head to bite Tong Yao’s neck. He would always bite the same spot. Whenever the mark on her neck disappeared, he would bite there again…...Tong Yao lifted up the blanket and pushed him away. She got up on her own and gathered the blanket to push onto his face: “Better not say things like replacing them with substitutes. What if you make things worse for those two chuunibyous?”[1]
“I won’t say it if they behave themselves.” Lu Sicheng responded, muffled under the blanket: “Take your hands away. It’s stuffy.”
Tong Yao released her hands. When Lu Sicheng lifted up the blanket, Tong Yao wiped her face with her sleeve and turned around to walk out of the room-- --When she opened the door, she heard the door to the base open at the same time. Tong Yao took a look from the railing and found Old Cat had come back. But he didn’t go up the stairs to his own room. He threw the key onto his desk, then went directly onto the couch and closed his eyes. The two cats rushed to jump onto his tummy……
“Old Cat.” Tong Yao stretched her head out from the second floor: “Go back to your room to sleep.”
After saying so, Tong Yao felt that she was like a bystander who was urging an upset daughter-in-law who had run away from home to go home to sleep. Her tone of voice sounded very much like a cautious busy body.
Old Cat opened his eyes, turned to the other side, then patted the heads of the two cats while curling up on the couch. He sounded aggrieved: “I’m not. I’m sleeping here tonight.”
Old Cat did sound like someone who was upset.
Tong Yao: “......”
She was worried.
……
The next day, they had their skirmish with CK in the afternoon.
