Lin Yan gazed at the little white kitten in her arms. Although it was dirty, it was a fine-looking kitten.
To Lin Yanâs surprise, this had to be the most handsome stray kitten she had ever seen.
âDoesnât it look handsome?â
Lin Yan turned to Pei Yucheng, who stood beside her.
Pei Yucheng gazed intently and quietly at Lin Yan for some time. Then, his gaze trailed to the kitten. He scrutinized it before saying, âYeah. It looks like you.â
Lin Yan was left speechless when she heard Pei Yucheng.
She resembled... a cat?
Even if he wanted to use an animal to describe her, she wouldnât be a kitten! She should be a dog! A fierce, strong dog! For instance, a German shepherd or a bull terrier...
However, Lin Yan cast away all the images of dogs in her mind moments later.
Why would she resemble a dog? How could she be a dog? She should be a tiger!
Why would anyone describe herself as a dog?
âI feel that Iâm more like a tiger instead of a kitten.â Lin Yan glanced at Pei Yucheng as she answered softly.
Pei Yucheng, who looked slightly surprised, glanced at Lin Yan.
âA tiger?â he asked.
Lin Yan nodded. âThe king of all beasts. Donât I resemble one?â
âYou mean a tigress?â Pei Yucheng pressed on.
Lin Yan was left speechless... Did he know how to keep a conversation going?
She had still been in a rather good mood, but Pei Yuchengâs remarks destroyed it. Was he trying to drive the conversation to a dead end?
âWhat do I look like?â Pei Yucheng gazed at Lin Yan.
âIf I were to pick an animal... Iâd say you look like... a giant python,â Lin Yan replied.
âA python?â Pei Yucheng seemed puzzled. âWhy?â
There were all kinds of beasts and animals. Why would Lin Yan liken him to a python?
Actually, Lin Yan couldnât really answer, but the first thing that had popped in her mind was a giant python.
Pythons made people shake in fear.
They were at the top of the food chain and seemed to be able to hunt anything they wanted.
Snakes hid in the darkness and possessed an irresistible, wicked charm. They could kill any target they wanted, and the target would have no opportunity to escape. Doom was inevitable.
Pei Yucheng reminded Lin Yan of a deadly python. A giant python hiding in the darkness, ruthless and unfeeling.
She felt that only a giant python would befit Pei Yuchengâs aura.
Certainly, she wouldnât tell Pei Yucheng everything that was on her mind. Not unless she had a death wish.
Lin Yanâs eyes swiveled swiftly as she grinned at Pei Yucheng. âYouâre definitely a python! Just think. A snake resembles a dragon... If I really had to describe you, I would choose a dragon in a heartbeat. However, there are no dragons in this world, so I had to choose a python.â
âReally?â
Pei Yucheng remained impassive as he listened to Lin Yanâs explanation.
âYeah, of course! Iâm telling the truth!â Lin Yan nodded vigorously.
Before Pei Yucheng could answer, the kitten in Lin Yanâs arm suddenly struggled and leaped to the floor. Then, it began to rub its body against Lin Yanâs shoes.
âWhy would this kitten... behave like a dog?â
Lin Yan strode away and the stray kitten followed her closely, as though it didnât want Pei Yucheng and Lin Yan to get out of its sight.
