Chapter 6.1

The Oriental Restaurant (1)

The dragon horns and ears are different.

The shapes of animal ears are mostly similar. Just covering them with high-quality artificial fur can conceal most of the imperfections in the production process. However, horns have unique shapes and materials. To make them exquisitely lifelike, more time and cost are required.

Therefore, temporarily using fake cat ears that look authentic can be purchased directly, but dragon horns need to be custom-made.

After giving it some thought, Gu Mingyuan finally decided – regardless of anything, let’s place the order first.

It seems that humans are not small animals that can be kept in captivity. Even if they can’t go to school later, they still need a bit of disguise when going out for a walk.

Gu Mingyuan placed the order using his Light Brain with one hand while holding Mu Le’s hand with the other, strolling leisurely.

Lan Mo, this lazy cat, followed behind them, playing with Mu Le.

He noticed that Mu Le seemed to really like his big tail. So he deliberately walked a bit ahead, swaying his tail from side to side to attract Mu Le’s attention.

Sure enough, Mu Le’s gaze was completely captivated by his fluffy tail. Her eyes followed the swinging of Lan Mo’s tail, looking silly but overly adorable.

After placing the order, Gu Mingyuan saw the cat-eared teenager beside him going to great lengths to amuse his own child, even using his tail.

He crouched down and lifted Mu Le up with one hand.

Then he quickened his pace.

Mr. Lan Mo, who didn’t have such a tall and long-legged physique as Gu Mingyuan, was left behind in an instant.

Just as Lan Mo was about to catch up, he saw Mu Le leaning on Gu Mingyuan’s shoulder, blinking at him and smiling playfully, “Meow meow meow~”

Gu Mingyuan: “…”

Although the little one had lowered her voice, she was right next to his head, and it was hard for him not to hear.

And Lan Mo’s hearing was so good, he definitely heard it too.

Gu Mingyuan grabbed the back of Mu Le’s collar and pulled her down, then held her in his arms like holding a baby.

This new position completely baffled Mu Le.

A sense of embarrassment occupied her mind.

She had never seen such a contrasting couple before, let alone unlocked such a position.

Even the experienced driver crashed.

Unable to bear it, she turned over on Gu Mingyuan’s arm and ended up lying on her side, burying her face between his arm and chest.

Lan Mo, who caught up, happened to witness this scene and couldn’t help but smile, “Ah, this little cub seems quite attached to you.”

Gu Mingyuan remained expressionless, “Hmm.”

As a long-time friend of his, Lan Mo, who was familiar with him, had long seen through the facade of his emotionless appearance and knew that behind it was a smug and satisfied face.

Thinking of the scene where Gu Mingyuan, after having a pet, suddenly became childish and petty, Lan Mo struggled so hard to hold back his laughter that his facial muscles hurt.

…

Before leaving the hospital, Lan Mo reminded Gu Mingyuan that it would be best to take Mu Le for a comprehensive physical examination and get her vaccinated while they were at it.

When saying this, Mu Le in Gu Mingyuan’s arms had already fallen asleep, dodging away.

Gu Mingyuan held Mu Le steadily with one hand, and his other hand’s finger hooked around Mu Le’s wrist, showcasing her tender and soft little hand to Lan Mo.

“No claws,” Gu Mingyuan said, “Even biting a piece of bread is difficult.”

Lan Mo: “?”

“She won’t scratch me, and she won’t bite me either,” Gu Mingyuan continued, “Does she still need vaccinations?”

Lan Mo couldn’t help but laugh at this ignorant aristocratic gentleman. “Vaccinations, huh? You never had them as a child? They not only prevent infections but also protect pets from certain diseases…”

He stopped talking because he saw Gu Mingyuan furrowing his brows, staring at the human in his arms with displeasure.

“…Alright,” he said.

It was truly rare to witness Gu Mingyuan compromising.

Lan Mo squinted his cat eyes and smiled, “Just a shot, and you’re reluctant?”

Gu Mingyuan gently caressed Mu Le’s flawless back of the hand with his finger.

Who would be willing?

Such a soft and young creature.

If the needle were to pierce her skin, would she be scared?

Gu Mingyuan looked up, still wearing his usual expressionless face. “No.”

Lan Mo: “……….Is that so.”

Suddenly, he felt a sense of crisis.

Because for over twenty years, he had been the tsundere in their circle of friends.

He was worried that Gu Mingyuan was just putting on an act and he was losing even that last bit of uniqueness.

The cat-eared teenager waved casually and swayed his fluffy tail as he dropped off Gu Mingyuan at the hospital entrance, then leisurely walked back to his office.

Gu Mingyuan took Mu Le to have lunch.

In the morning at home, he noticed that this human not only ate orc food but also skillfully spread jam on bread.

This time, Gu Mingyuan planned to try something new with her.

He wanted to take Mu Le to an Oriental restaurant.

– To see if this little one could handle the challenge of using chopsticks, a high-level skill.

Mu Le woke up, awakened by the familiar aroma inside the restaurant. After waking up, she instinctively touched her mouth.

Fortunately, no drooling occurred.
