My Cat Has Superpower?!
Chapter 171 - 170: The one involved is confused, the onlooker is clear

Chapter 171: Chapter 170: The one involved is confused, the onlooker is clear

Gu Qing opened his mouth to say something when he noticed the expression in Liu Shishi’s eyes.

Gu Qing’s expression darkened, and he pursed his lips without saying anything, then turned and walked away.

"?"

As an "Insightful Person," Lu Zixun could tell at a glance that Gu Qing must like Liu Shishi.

But what Lu Zixun never imagined was that Gu Qing could be so timid.

Staring at Gu Qing’s retreating figure, until he disappeared from view, Liu Shishi nervously turned back to look at Lu Zixun.

"Ding—Detecting a +500 increase in Liu Shishi’s nervousness level."

"Da Ju, are you okay?"

Liu Shishi came up to Lu Zixun and looked him over: "Did Gu Qing do anything to you?"

"..."

Thinking about the pathetic look on Gu Qing’s face just now, and seeing Liu Shishi’s frightened appearance, Lu Zixun silently sighed.

Considering that you just asked me what I wanted to eat, I’ll give you a hand, buddy.

He cleared his throat lightly, scanned the area to make sure no one was paying attention, then shook his head at Liu Shishi: "No, there were a few people who wanted to cause me trouble just now, and he actually helped me out."

"Hmm..."

Hearing what Lu Zixun said, Liu Shishi frowned, looking incredulously at him.

She muttered quietly, "No way, is he really that nice? Doesn’t he hate cats the most..."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun gave a look that was a mixture of frustration and helplessness, gazing at Liu Shishi.

He could see that the safe distance Gu Qing kept from him just now probably meant his dislike of cats was real.

But since Liu Shishi brought him along, naturally Gu Qing wasn’t going to show that dislike.

Love me, love my dog, that might be the best way to describe Gu Qing; too bad the player is blinded while the spectators can see clearly.

But Lu Zixun was too lazy to build bridges for Gu Qing.

What Lu Zixun was considering now was when he could return to dorm room 521.

He needed to quickly exchange for the Bloodline Purification Elixir to enhance his strength in preparation for tomorrow’s event.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Just as Lu Zixun was thinking this, Gu Qing’s voice came through the speakers hanging around.

Snagging a fish and placing it on his plate, Lu Zixun took the opportunity to change direction and looked towards Gu Qing’s location.

Unlike the dejected look he had before, Gu Qing now seemed spirited and quite pleased with himself.

Lu Zixun nodded to himself; indeed, the saying was true.

When truly liking someone, the expression is timidity in boys and boldness in girls.

"Thank you all for coming to this mixer organized by me. I hope everyone has a good time. There are several guest rooms upstairs; if you need to rest, just ask the waiter next to you to lead the way. Thank you, everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out.

Gu Qing bowed politely and stepped down from the podium, then subconsciously glanced in Liu Shishi’s direction.

Just as he thought to come over, he was surrounded by a group of women.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zixun was slightly taken aback and looked up at Liu Shishi.

The guilt that had initially been hanging on Liu Shishi’s face quietly vanished, turning into a look of disgust.

"Hmph."

With a cold snort, Liu Shishi’s gaze fell on Lu Zixun, and she spoke tenderly, "Da Ju, is there anything else you want to eat? I’ll go get it for you."

He casually pointed to a chocolate ice cream, and after Liu Shishi had left, Lu Zixun licked his front paw.

Pondering over the expression on Liu Shishi’s face just now, he guessed that she probably had a bit of a crush on Gu Qing.

It’s just that Liu Shishi herself didn’t realize it, and Gu Qing was too timid.

At that moment, a chef came out holding a plate of fish.

Scanning the area, he locked onto Lu Zixun’s location and, with eyes brightening, walked over.

In the midst of Lu Zixun’s bewildered gaze, the chef respectfully placed the plate in front of Lu Zixun and left without uttering a word.

"This is prepared for me."

Muttering to himself, Lu Zixun grabbed a piece of fish and swallowed it.

The flavor of the fish exploded on Lu Zixun’s taste buds, and his eyes narrowed in delight.

It was damn delicious!

What kind of flavor was this?!

Wolfing down all the fish slices on the plate, Lu Zixun, still relishing the taste, licked his lips and unconsciously lifted his paw to touch his bloated stomach. He then stood up and looked in Gu Qing’s direction.

He rather liked this culinary bribe.

Should he give Gu Qing a hand? Lu Zixun found himself in a quandary.

At this time, Liu Shishi, holding the chocolate ice cream, came back, only to be stopped by Jiang Ximeng.

She watched as Jiang Ximeng attempted what he believed was a charming pose, with a wine glass in each hand, extending one to her: "Miss Liu, may I offer you a drink?"

Frowning, Liu Shishi instinctively stepped back at the sudden appearance of Jiang Ximeng.

Seeing this, Lu Zixun also frowned; he preferred Gu Qing over Jiang Ximeng.

His whiskers twitched twice, and Lu Zixun, channelling his Spiritual Energy, sent a voice message to Gu Qing: "Don’t just stand there. Go save her. Your beloved Shishi is being harassed!"

Gu Qing, amidst socializing, froze when he heard Lu Zixun’s voice and sharply turned to look in his direction.

Raising his paw, Lu Zixun greeted Gu Qing with a wave.

Lu Zixun’s paw flicked out, pointing towards Jiang Ximeng’s location, signalling for Gu Qing to hurry over.

Fortunately, Gu Qing didn’t disappoint Lu Zixun. He promptly pushed through the surrounding crowd, walking towards Jiang Ximeng with a stern face.

Just as Liu Shishi was pondering how to reject him,

She saw Gu Qing appear behind Jiang Ximeng and pat him on the shoulder.

Turning around to see Gu Qing’s grim face, Jiang Ximeng jolted in surprise, almost dropping his wine glass.

Before Jiang Ximeng could speak, Gu Qing’s lips curled slightly, and he said, "How about I join you for a drink?"

Jiang Ximeng, already deathly afraid of Gu Qing, dared not refuse and sheepishly smiled, managing a "Sure," before passing his wine glass to Gu Qing.

After elegantly lifting the glass and draining it in one gulp, Gu Qing wiped his mouth and smiled at Jiang Ximeng: "Anything else?"

"No... nothing else."

Having his efforts thwarted by Gu Qing twice in a row, Jiang Ximeng didn’t dare make another sound and skulked off.

Seeing Gu Qing finally strike up a conversation with Liu Shishi, a gratified smile spread across Lu Zixun’s face, reminiscent of a proud uncle.

With that taken care of, it seemed like there was no need for him to stay.

Just as he was contemplating where to roam next, Lu Zixun suddenly spotted a familiar face here.

"How come Xie Da is here?"

That familiar face, cradling a wine glass, was making rounds through the crowd, toasting with the elders.

After a quick scan of the room, Lu Zixun hopped off the dining table and walked towards Xie Da.

A cat in such a place was quite conspicuous, and Xie Da noticed Lu Zixun right away, his mouth agape in disbelief.
