Chapter 71 – The Owner of the Stray Kitten (End)

The Owner of the Stray Kitten (End)

Mother Lin and Father Lin exchanged a glance, then left the space to the two young people.

The sound of the door closing snapped Lin Mo back to reality.

“I… I like you too! I like you very much!” Lin Mo mustered a lifetime of courage and almost shouted.

Xu Xinghe was now laughing. Her little kitten was so adorable that she wanted to touch him.

She walked up to Lin Mo, raised her hand, and patted his head. His soft black hair flopped down, making him look obedient. Lin Mo even closed his eyes.

This was a subconscious action, and then he froze. Had he gotten too used to being a cat?!

Xu Xinghe lifted his flushed face. The young man’s skin was very pale, and now that it was red, he looked like he had been bullied.

Lin Mo had long since thrown his rationality out into outer space. Just before those hands could leave, he grasped her small hands.

He pressed them against his cheek and nuzzled them. He loved it when his owner touched him.

“Ha… Mo Mo~ are you a kitten?” Xu Xinghe smiled brightly. This was the little black cat’s favorite gesture.

She expected Lin Mo to be too shy to speak, but instead he raised his head and looked at her stubbornly.

“I’m your kitten and only yours… Owner…”

If Xu Xinghe hadn’t seen that he was so shy that his neck and the tips of his ears turned red, she might have believed his expression.

“Alright~ Good kittens get a reward.” Xu Xinghe played with his red ears and spoke slowly.

Lin Mo looked forward to what Xing Xing would give him. He was very excited!

“Muah!”

Xu Xinghe gave a loud kiss on his cheek. Watching him freeze with his lips slightly parted, she mischievously kissed his red lips again, licking them gently.

Lin Mo immediately held his breath, turning his whole face red.

It was Xu Xinghe who, seeing how red he had become, worried about his health and released his lips.

Lin Mo panted heavily to catch his breath. This feeling of falling in love with each other from the very depths of the soul was simply too wonderful. He was almost addicted to it.

He buried his head in the crook of Xu Xinghe’s neck. The tip of his nose was filled with her fragrance. Lin Mo realized he actually had an urge to lick.

…

Lin Mo was discharged from the hospital the next day. He didn’t like staying in the hospital. He didn’t like the smell of the ward.

He brought Xu Xinghe back to his house to show her around. Only then did she understand why the Lin family was the wealthiest in the city.

Was this a house? This was a castle!

The back courtyard even had a golf course. There were so many rooms she couldn’t even count them. No wonder some female leads in stories got lost when they tried to run away, she thought.

“Xing Xing, will you stay in the room next to mine?” Since discovering that Xing Xing responded well to his acting cute, Lin Mo had been using this trick often.

Xu Xinghe naturally agreed. A kitten that was too clingy was a sweet problem to have.

Then in the middle of the night, that little kitten inevitably snuck into his owner’s bed. While the owner was asleep, he secretly kissed her hand.

Xu Xinghe opened her eyes to find Lin Mo holding her hand to his lips. She rubbed her eyes. “Mo Mo? Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Lin Mo gently kissed the two small holes on her hand. This was his mark. At the time, he had been so afraid, afraid of being abandoned by his owner and being called a bad cat that bites people.

But his owner had only comforted him gently. It must have hurt her a lot then, right?

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn’t ask.

Xu Xinghe was too sleepy to keep her eyes open. She grabbed his pajamas and pulled him into her arms. Lin Mo’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he watched her sleep with her eyes closed.

He could never get enough of looking at her. The word “lifetime,” when applied to her, even seemed too short.

He didn’t just want one lifetime with Xu Xinghe. He wanted to be with her forever.
