Chapter 69 – The Owner of the Stray Kitten

The Owner of the Stray Kitten (16)

“My name is Xu Xinghe. Hello.” Xu Xinghe tilted her head with a gentle smile, looked into his eyes, extended her hand, and introduced herself seriously.

Now this could finally be considered their first meeting!

Lin Mo was a little flustered. Just as he reached out his hand, he noticed the blood still seeping from the back of it.

He immediately pulled his hand back. “My hand is dirty.” Lin Mo thought regretfully that perhaps even heaven was unwilling to help him.

Xu Xinghe didn’t care. She took his hand which was hanging at his side. It was large but also very thin.

Their hands held each other like this. Lin Mo’s blood smeared onto her hand, but she didn’t let go.

Lin Mo felt as if his heart was about to explode. It was beating too fast…

He thought he might be hearing a ringing in his ears.

Just as Lin Mo thought this, his vision went black and he fell back.

It was over. That was his last thought before passing out.

…

When Lin Mo woke up again, he was still in the hospital. Staring at the pure white ceiling, he felt dazed. Wasn’t he with her?

“Awake?” Xu Xinghe was sitting on the sofa typing. She happened to see his eyes open, but he just lay there stupidly without moving.

Hearing this voice, Lin Mo immediately remembered everything. Embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing!

How could he faint just from holding hands!

He licked his dry lips and said hoarsely, “Thank you, Xing Xing? Can I call you that?” He asked nervously.

Xu Xinghe put down her computer and nodded. “You can. What’s your name?” Xu Xinghe played along and pretended not to know.

“Lin Mo. Lin as in forest, Mo as in silent.” Lin Mo looked forward to seeing her reaction upon hearing his name. Would she remember that the little black cat was him?

Xu Xinghe nodded and asked him with a smile, “Then can I call you Mo Mo?”

Lin Mo averted his gaze unnaturally. He always found it hard to look directly at her because he blushed easily since childhood. He was afraid of being found out.

“You can.”

Lin Mo watched Xu Xinghe pack her things and seemed to want to say something but held back. What reason did he have to ask her to stay?

When he was a cat, at least he could accompany her every day. Now even that had become a wish.

“Mo Mo, I’m going home.” Xu Xinghe put on her small backpack, walked closer to him, and looked at him.

Lin Mo’s heart was full of reluctance. He even wanted to beg her to stay. Wasn’t she his owner? How could she abandon her little kitten?

“Mm.” Lin Mo suppressed his emotions and responded in a low voice.

Xu Xinghe carefully studied his expression. His acting was fake.

Xu Xinghe suddenly bent down, leaned closer to him and smiled, revealing her sweet dimples. “Mo Mo, I don’t want to leave. What should I do?”

Lin Mo’s pupils dilated instantly. His breath caught. It was so close and fragrant.

His heart, which had just finally calmed down, began to race wildly again. She said she didn’t want to leave?

“Then… stay.” Lin Mo turned his face away, his voice hoarse.

Xu Xinghe looked at the fair tip of his ear in front of her. His ears moved when he talked. She watched curiously as his ears twitched, moving slightly.

“I want to bite it…” The moment the words left her lips, she suddenly leaned in and gently bit his earlobe with her front teeth.

Lin Mo was about to ask what she wanted to bite when the next moment, that spine-tingling sensation returned. The warmth on his earlobe nearly made his pupils dilate.

The feeling coming from the depths of his soul along his spine sent a pleasurable shiver through Lin Mo’s scalp. His hands trembled as they circled her slender waist.

In that case, stay.

No matter the cost, he wanted her to stay. Forever with him.
