She called out Lu Zixun’s gaming ID with some hesitation.
Seeing Lu Zixun nod in acknowledgment, Meng raised her eyebrows and checked to see that no one was paying attention to them before lowering her voice and saying,
"With so many people here, if someone discovers you can talk, you’ll be stripped and dissected! You’ve got some nerve! Lemon, you didn’t even give a heads up."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun and Xie Da exchanged a look, a peculiar expression in their eyes.
There were probably very few people who dared to drag Lu Zixun away for a dissection in Lingchuan City.
"That’s not a big problem, no one dares to do that," he said indifferently,
Xie Da, carrying a briefcase, headed toward the café outside the airport: "Beef Steak’s plane will arrive in half an hour. Let’s go somewhere cool to sit and play a couple of games while we wait for him."
It was only after sitting down in the café that Lu Zixun learned her name, Yang Mengling.
Her gaming ID was just based on the last two characters of her name, which was quite straightforward to say the least.
"Lu Zixun, what a strange name."
Meng Ling shook her head, seemingly unable to comprehend why someone would name a cat like that.
After pondering for a while, she finally said, "Forget it, I’ll just call you Mr. Cat, since you’re a cat anyway."
Lu Zixun nodded in agreement, indicating that was fine: "Either way works."
When it came to being addressed, Lu Zixun really didn’t cling to any particular name.
After all, he was still a cat; calling him anything else would feel strange not only to others but to himself as well.
He casually opened a few games, and another airplane descended from the sky to Xunyang Airport.
The two people and the cat directly chose to hang back in the lounge.
As for the African Steak’s poor sense of direction, they all had lingering fears.
Whenever they thought about playing games and how African Steak couldn’t find them just separated by a wall, they felt utterly despondent.
"Hey? What do you think Beef Steak looks like? Judging from his accent, he should be a guy from the north. Do you think he looks very manly?"
Li Mengling, bored while waiting, suddenly found a topic to discuss.
"I’ve seen Beef Steak’s photo, emmm... you might be disappointed."
After recalling the photo of African Steak, Xie Da continued, "Pale and tender, looks like a joker, but who would have thought, this guy is actually the CEO of a company."
At this point, a look of surprise even appeared in Xie Da’s eyes.
Upon hearing this, Li Mengling’s face showed an incredulous expression, looking dubiously at Xie Da, suspecting he was pulling her leg.
At that moment, the crowd began to emerge from the lounge, yet they still hadn’t seen African Steak come out.
The two people and the cat exchanged glances, a sinking feeling in their hearts, wondering if African Steak had gotten lost.
Meanwhile, African Steak, lurking in the shadows, fixed his gaze on the location of the two people and the cat. His brows were tightly furrowed as though he was facing an exceptionally tricky issue.
"Long Si, have you arrived at Lingchuan City’s Xunyang Airport? Ming Ju has been seriously injured, the assassination mission is now yours."
Wearing an earpiece similar to Ming Ju’s, African Steak had a look of hesitation on his face.
After a long pause, seeing a worried expression on the faces of the two people and the cat in front of him, African Steak let out a soft sigh and put away his earpiece.
African Steak straightened his expression, walked excitedly toward the spot where Lu Zixun was.
Just as Xie Da was about to take out his phone to make a call, he couldn’t help but glance over at the sound of footsteps and was pleasantly surprised to find a pale and tender-looking young man.
He called out tentatively and, seeing the young man nodding in front of him, Lu Zixun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness this guy hadn’t gotten lost, otherwise, how would they find him in such a huge airport?
Li Mengling walked up to the African Steak and looked up at him, reaching out to pinch his cheek, "Are you really the CEO? You’re not a high school student, are you? How come you look younger than me?"
"Meng Ling, what are you talking about? Can’t I look young?"
He looked at Li Mengling with annoyance and introduced himself, "Nice to meet you, I’m the African Steak, my real name is Ming Yang."
After scanning the group, Ming Yang’s gaze fell on Xie Da, and he smiled slightly, "You must be Lemon, right? Didn’t Mr. Cat come along?"
"He’s here. Isn’t he right in front of you?"
After Xie Da introduced himself, Li Mengling’s lips curled up slightly, reminding Ming Yang.
After looking around, Ming Yang frowned and twitched the corner of his mouth, pointing at Lu Zixun, "Meng Ling, don’t tell me this guy is Mr. Cat?"
"Bingo, you got it right, but sadly there’s no reward."
Seeing the Incredible Color on Ming Yang’s face, Li Mengling couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It was quite similar to her own reaction.
With some annoyance, Ming Yang held his head for a while before finally looking up at Lu Zixun and said mournfully, "You’re not Mr. Cat, right? You’re just Mr. Cat’s pet, right?"
Ming Yang still harbored a glimmer of hope, waiting for Lu Zixun’s response.
After a while, seeing no other reaction from Lu Zixun, Ming Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, how could a cat play games?
"Beef Steak, listen to the sound of my voice, do I sound like Mr. Cat?"
He said with a smile, looking hopefully at Ming Yang.
He wanted to see how much shock a talking cat could bring to Ming Yang.
Hearing this, Ming Yang stared at Lu Zixun for a while before eventually exploding with a curse.
Ming Yang was so agitated, and Lu Zixun could understand why; after all, it was embarrassing to not play a game as well as a cat. If he were in his shoes, he’d be embarrassed too.
It was one thing for a cat to play games, but for it to talk as well was just outrageous to Ming Yang.
However, in the face of Ming Yang’s agitated reaction, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
If Ming Yang had been the shy and introverted sort, Lu Zixun would certainly have discovered nothing.
But based on the understanding they had built over several months of gaming together, Lu Zixun was sure that Ming Yang was not that kind of person.
When he felt something was amiss, Lu Zixun, who had been staring at Ming Yang, realized that Ming Yang’s excitement was not feigned.
There was a mixture of three parts excitement and seven parts calm in his eyes, which was quite interesting.
After reflecting on his usual interactions with Ming Yang, Lu Zixun shook his head.
Apart from in the game, it seemed he had never seen Ming Yang elsewhere.
So the question arose. Why was Ming Yang acting ? Lost in thought, Lu Zixun fell silent for a moment.
Watching Lu Zixun’s pensive expression, Ming Yang felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
His face grew slightly paler as he forced a smile, and Ming Yang said with a laugh, "Well, there we go, it’s really Mr. Cat. You’re always talking about wanting to eat lobster, aren’t you? Come on, let’s go. I hear that Lingchuan City’s lobsters are pretty decent."
