"Eh, this type of film... alright, I have no problem with it."
Zhu Yuan was a bit surprised that Wise would choose this type of film, but he had no choice. A mystery film would be spoiled, and she probably wouldn't laugh at a comedy. As for a thriller... let's not even go there.
The two watched the movie together on the second floor. Zhu Yuan was surprisingly innocent; she would even blush when the male and female leads in the film kissed. By the time the film ended, the blush on her face had not completely faded.
"Phew, I think I understand why Wise chose this film. It really makes it hard to get distracted." Zhu Yuan was unexpectedly a little fidgety. She usually wouldn't watch this type of film, but watching it once in a while didn't feel bad.
"Mhm, as long as you like it." Wise did indeed have this consideration. After all, given Zhu Yuan's situation, recommending other films was not very appropriate. Now it seemed that choosing this was the best result.
"Today was quite enjoyable! It's not bad to be supervised by Wise like this once in a while. Well then, I'll be taking my leave first." Zhu Yuan said this with some impatience. Wise glanced at the time. It was still early. He was a little suspicious that she would leave at this time and go straight back to the Public Security Bureau.
"Zhu Yuan probably isn't thinking that since it's still early, she can go back and work for a while, right?"
"Uh, that... how could that be? Wise, you've misunderstood me too much. Today is a holiday. How could I possibly go back to work? Right?"
No matter what Zhu Yuan said, Wise ultimately decided to have her stay for dinner before she left. Anyway, she was also living alone now, so there was no problem in having her stay for dinner. And Zhu Yuan, after thinking about it for a moment, could only nod in agreement.
It was clear that the ignorant Zhu Yuan did not know what she was about to face. No girl could escape Wise's cooking skills. Even Zhu Yuan was no exception. Therefore, after the first try, her affection rose directly by 5 points. Added to her previous affection, it had now reached 85 points, and her Emotional Value had also reached 33,000 points.
"I didn't expect Wise's cooking to be so good. I can only make some simple dishes myself."
"Not at all. Zhu Yuan is probably just too busy with work usually, so you don't have time to practice, right?" Wise didn't think Zhu Yuan's cooking skills would be that bad. After all, there was still Lina as a baseline.
"Mhm." Zhu Yuan thought of how when she was busy with work, she would often choose to eat out because of time constraints.
"Hm? What's that!" As if sensing something, Zhu Yuan subconsciously kicked out, and a white figure was seen flying across the floor.
"Wow, Mu Mu is flying!" Odette couldn't help but exclaim as she watched the little white snake slowly slide down from the wall.
But Zhu Yuan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this. "Mu Mu? Is that this snake's name? Is he your pet?" Zhu Yuan was clearly a little flustered. She had just sensed something by her feet, so her body had moved instinctively. Logically, this instinct should only be for suddenly approaching dangerous targets, like Ethereals, and would not work on small, harmless animals like a pet snake.
Aurelia, the master on the side, was remarkably calm. She waved her hand nonchalantly, and Mu Mu, who had slid down from the wall, quickly returned to her side.
"I-is she okay?" The one Zhu Yuan was referring to was, of course, the little white snake she had just kicked. The force of her kick was not small. She had thought she had ended a small life. But the other party was alive and kicking, which made her a little surprised.
"It's fine. Her breed is quite special. She's very durable." Aurelia lifted Mu Mu, who was wrapped around her arm, and explained to Zhu Yuan. Although the latter didn't quite understand, as long as it was fine.
"Wise, the little animals in your house are really special." Zhu Yuan then noticed the little white fox, Pei Pei, not far away. Even in the city, not many people kept foxes and snakes as pets. As for the most common animals in the city, besides dogs, there were...
"Meow~"
That's right, it's a cat. Wait, a cat?!
Zhu Yuan suddenly reacted. Looking at Little Black, who had come within a few steps of her at some point, her expression immediately became uncomfortable. And what made her feel even more unacceptable was that Little Black was actually slowly walking towards her. This made Zhu Yuan subconsciously stand up.
Fortunately, Little Black's target was not her. Instead, it jumped directly into Wise's arms.
"Th-this is also your pet?" Zhu Yuan couldn't help but ask, looking at this scene. Belle on the side nodded.
"That's right. My brother said Little Black likes him very much, so he brought her back."
"I see." Although such a loving act was indeed like Wise's style, in that case...
Zhu Yuan's gaze was a little complicated as she watched Little Black snuggle in Wise's arms. Wise also noticed this and asked with some confusion, "Is Zhu Yuan afraid of cats?"
"Afraid is not quite it. After all, it's not a threatening existence. If I had to say, it's just..." Speaking of this, Zhu Yuan hesitated for a moment. After organizing her words, she continued, "I just really don't understand why everyone likes small animals so much. After all, fluffy things are very troublesome."
Therefore, every time Zhu Yuan came to Sixth Street to patrol, she had to avoid the cats' routes. After all, the number of cats in Sixth Street was indeed a little high.
"I see. But you don't have to worry about Little Black. She doesn't shed much, and she won't take the initiative to interact with anyone other than me."
Hearing Wise's explanation, Zhu Yuan was relieved, and then sighed again. "Is that so? I didn't expect Wise to be a [fluffy-lover] too. This world is so unfriendly to the [fluffy-hater] faction."
"No, I just can't resist cute things. It doesn't have much to do with whether they're fluffy or not." This was true. Belle on the side couldn't help but nod after hearing her brother say this.
"That's right. My brother's charm always attracts many cute things." Belle said meaningfully.
Zhu Yuan, however, didn't quite understand and just thought it was something similar to cats.
Dinner time ended peacefully. Zhu Yuan even asked to help with the dishes, although the work of washing the dishes was not given to her in the end. And in this way, it was about time for her to go home.
"Thank you for your care today, Wise. If there's a chance, please accompany me on my next holiday too."
Hearing Zhu Yuan's words, Wise naturally agreed without any hesitation. He just hoped he wouldn't regret it in the future...
