The Theory of QueerbaitingChapter 28

When You Xin arrived at Duan Jiashu’s house, Duan Jiashu was holding a litter scooper in his hand and looking helpless.

You Xin could no longer blame him, so he directly asked, “What’s going on, why couldn’t you find Xiao Hua?” xE2hIs

After seeing You Xin, Duan Jiashu seemed to finally calm down a bit. He took a deep breath and recalled the events. “After I got home last night, I fixed up Xiao Hua’s litter and bed. Then I played with Xiao Hua for a while. After making sure that it was in a stable mood, I went to bed.”

Then, Duan Jiashu looked at You Xin’s face and hurriedly added, “I checked on the Internet before. Kittens may have a stress response when they go to a new home. The owner should give the kitten some space and time to adapt on their own.”

It sounded like Duan Jiashu really was ready to have a cat, and wasn’t just deliberately annoying with him before, You Xin thought, but because he was still worried about Xiao Hua’s safety, his face was still uncertain, “Then?”

“Then this morning when I got up, I went to look at the food bowl and scoop out the cat litter, but Xiao Hua wasn’t in her bed. I called her name and looked for her everywhere, but I didn’t get a response. I couldn’t find Xiao Hua anywhere for a long time, so I got worried and called you.” wq mPg

After hearing Duan Jiashu’s explanation, You Xin pondered a bit and asked, “Are the windows and doors closed?”

“The door is always closed, and the windows were closed before I went to bed. At that time, Xiao Hua was still in her bed.” Duan Jiashu quickly answered the question.

Hearing this, You Xin finally let down a breath, “If so, then Xiao Hua should still be in your house, just hiding somewhere. Kittens often do this, so don’t worry.”

Hearing his speech, Duan Jiashu looked a little better, but he still frowned. “But I’ve been looking for Xiao Hua for half an hour, and I still haven’t found her.”

“It doesn’t matter.” You Xin patted Duan Jiashu’s hand, “We can look for Xiao Hua together, and we can definitely find her.”

“Alright.” Duan Jiashu took You Xin’s hand and pinched it, eyes were full of trust.

You Xin’s heart felt moved, but he still shook off his hand and pretended not to be.

“Xiao Hua, Mimi, Duan Xiao Xin, where are you? I promise that if you show up, your father will open ten bags of dried fish for you.”

You Xin opened the cabinet drawer and looked around carefully, but there was nothing. He raised his head and rolled his eyes at Duan Jiashu, “What’s the name, Duan Xiao Xin? Xiao Hua doesn’t know that name. It’s useless for you to shout like that.”

Duan Jiashu was lying on the ground at the moment, trying to observe whether there was a kitten hidden in the gap between the chest of drawers and the ground. However, the gap below was cleaned by the cleaning lady, so there was nothing to see. Duan Jiashu sighed, still lying down and refuted the other. “Duan Xiao Xin knows, I secretly called her that many times, and every time she reacted, I gave snacks.” LRTZs

You Xin opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this. Duan Jiashu was too clever! Secretly flattering the kitten behind his back, no wonder Duan Xiao Xin was called. Xiao Hua gained a lot of weight recently, and thought it was an illusion, that the kitten was just fluffy.

Duan Jiashu had searched all the gaps on the ground where it would be easy for a cat to hide in, so he stood up. But as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy. Fortunately, You Xin noticed in time and immediately stepped forward to hold the other “What’s the matter, are you okay?”

“…I’m okay.” Duan Jiashu held You Xin’s arm and slowed down until his dizziness slowly subsided.

“Have you eaten since you got up? Have something sweet first. Otherwise, Xiao Hua won’t be found, and you will fall down again. What would I do then?” With that, You Xin took out a nougat bar from his pocket and handed it to Duan Jiashu. He went out in the morning in a hurry and was a little hungry, so he grabbed two packs and put them in his pocket. You Xin ate one piece and gave the other to Duan Jiashu. oh6W T

Duan Jiashu took a breath and ate the nougat given to him. The nougat was sweet and fragrant, with a milk flavor that coated the crispy nuts. Its taste became sweeter and sweeter in his mouth, yet his heart became more and more bitter. He and You Xin had been looking for Xiao Hua for more than an hour already. They’ve searched all over the house, but they still haven’t seen the kitten. His heart felt like it was pricked by a needle, making him feel both guilty and sad. Looking at You Xin that was filled with worry, his heart felt warm and he stretched out his hand to hold the other.

You Xin was hugged by Duan Jiashu before he got to react. The older buried his head on his shoulder, and his voice was stuffy.

“It’s all my fault. If I didn’t take Xiao Hua home, Xiao Hua wouldn’t get lost. It was because I don’t want you to take Xiao Hua away, and I was afraid that Liu Yanhui won’t like our Xiao Hua and won’t be good to him. Who knew that just after taking Xiao Hua home, I would already lose her…”

Duan Jiashu has never looked so fragile as now. You Xin felt uncomfortable and couldn’t care about anything else any longer. Seeing that Duan Jiashu was blaming himself, he touched his head to comfort the other. He listened to Duan Jiashu’s woes. He looked calm on the outside, but he felt very speechless after hearing the other speak. “What are you talking about? What’s the connection between me raising Xiao Hua and Liu Yanhui?” 1JUlS7

Duan Jiashu was stunned when he heard this question. His head was bored on You Xin’s shoulder for a while before carefully asking, “Aren’t you dating Liu Yanhui?”

You Xin thought that it was a little strange to answer the other’s question under such circumstances, but he still replied, “…I’m not, don’t say such nonsense.”

Duan Jiashu immediately raised his head and looked at You Xin’s face excitedly. His chest was violently beating, and he opened his mouth to say something. However, because he suddenly remembered, he sadly hurried back to You Xin’s shoulder and hugged the other harder. “But we still haven’t found Xiao Hua, what should I do?”

You Xin was also very worried. But he was being held too tightly by Duan Jiashu and could only look up at the ceiling by inclining his neck. He patted the other on the back and said, “Then stop holding me. Let’s go and find Xiao Hua quickly!” As soon as he finished speaking, you Xin saw two glass balls flashing from the ceiling. hVPZrN

Duan Jiashu was about to let go when he was stopped by You Xin: “Don’t move!” Hearing this, he quickly hugged You Xin once more and let the other person stick tightly to himself.

You Xin felt that he was out of breath by Duan Jiashu’s tight hug. He pushed away the other’s shoulder. “Not like this. Hold me up a little.” With that, You Xin jumped up. Duan Jiashu then hugged his thigh and held You Xin up. You Xin climbed Duan Jiashu’s shoulder with both hands and finally saw the ceiling up close.

Xiao Hua was nestled in the gap in the ceiling. It opened its mouth andmeowed when it saw You Xin.

“I found her! I found her!” You Xin happily patted Duan Jiashu on the shoulder, “Xiao Hua is on the ceiling!” dvbTs1

Duan Jiashu was also very happy, “That’s great!” he said, and happily hugged Yun Xin’s butt and bumped up.

You Xin: …

At this time, You Xin realized that his position with Duan Jiashu was a little awkward. At the moment, he clung up to Duan Jiashu’s shoulders with both hands, his thighs were open and clamped at the other’s waist, and Duan Jiashu’s hand was wrapped around his butt. It may be because You Xin was nervous, that when Duan Jiashu’s hands tightened its hold, You Xin immediately stiffened.

His face flushed, he quickly pushed Duan Jiashu away and jumped down from the other. Duan Jiashu didn’t speak, and only kept staring at You Xin. You Xin got a little angry at this. “What are you looking at? Are you not going to save Xiao Hua?!” yYaEIT

“Oh.” Duan Jiashu quickly obliged, moved a chair, went up and took down Xiao Hua from the gap in the ceiling.

The kitten rubbed the dust off its face on Duan Jiashu. It didn’t look afraid at all, it simply yawned. Xiao Hua must’ve climbed up the ceiling last night but then didn’t know how to get down, so she stayed there. Xiao Hua didn’t have any idea at all that its parents below were going crazy while it was sleeping. Seeing You Xin, Xiao Hua was very happy. It jumped directly from Duan Jiashu’s arms, ran to You Xin, rubbed on him with its tail, and stretched out its head, wanting to be touched.

Xiao Hua’s lovely appearance immediately warmed You Xin’s heart. He patted Xiao Hua’s head and gently lectured, “You can’t scare us like this next time. Do you understand or not?”

“Meow~ meow~” Xiao Hua meowed twice, but he didn’t know if she really understood. UnpyK

You Xin told Duan Jiashu to get a clean towel to wipe Xiao Hua’s fur, and then squatted down to let Xiao Hua eat.

Duan Jiashu also went to get two sandwiches and handed one to You Xin. Then he squatted down and watched Xiao Hua. The picture of two people and one cat looked warm and happy.

Duan Jiashu looked at You Xin and judged that the other was in a good mood, so he opened his mouth. “Is what you just said true?”

“What true?” You Xin took a bite of the sandwich and didn’t react. S8dYR

“Is… Is it true that you are not with anyone now?”

Hearing this, You Xin glanced at Duan Jiashu then quickly turned away, “What’s the matter with that?” Although his tone sounded a bit fierce, his heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.

“Since you don’t have a partner and we both own a kitten, why don’t we just be together?”

You Xin paused at this and felt his heart stop beating. He held his breath and turned to look at Duan Jiashu and saw the other’s face that looked very serious. You Xin took a deep breath to calm himself, then opened his mouth incredulously. “What’s your new script and routine this time? I already told you, I don’t want to sell CP with you anymore, so don’t go and deceive me!” suPXIF

“No.” Duan Jiashu shook his head and looked at You Xin in the eye. “There’s no script, it’s not acting. Just the kind of X relationship that I think will happen when I’m with you.”

You Xin: …
