After eating He Qian did not stay any longer in their home as he and the pregnant-- the 'overfeed' Xiao Xiao choose to wander and check outside which is their original plan at first. The base is really good and wide. He only saw the Hospital and other houses and buildings on the way home as he was discharged in the hospital. So he was curious and a bit excited to roam around. What he knows is that this is one of the strongest and more secured base than the rest. There is also a lot of powerhouse ability users. And there are amazing engineers so they are more advance and advantage in communication technology and other technological purpose. There is also an electricity and there was a group of genius scientists they specially formed that specialized for gene mutation and other more that was related to apocalypse now. And! Ofcourse, powerhouse soldiers. The warriors here were well trained and disciplined. And! They were very consistent to their strict rules and regulations which is important to maintain the peace inside. And killing here is prohibited not unless there is a zombie involved. "So how was He Qian exactly destroyed and robbed of his ability here?" He Qian wondered bitterly but then he also remember that the original He Qian is too trusting when it comes to Li Chang.

"Fish! The fish is so good! The fish is a god! The fish taste heavenly!"

*meow!*

*meow!*

*meow!*

He Qian choose to ignore the noisy kitten as he continue to wander around. He was contended at what he saw and he could see that the base had a lot of people living in it. He can also see a few children running or getting busy with the adults and there were also mini stalls with weird stuffs on sale and also other familiar things on sale as well.

It was almost dark that He Qian decided to go back home when the lazily sleeping Xiao Xiao in his arms suddenly woke up sniffing around like a dog.  "Xiao Xiao, what is it?"

"That smell.   *sniffs!*  I know that smell."

"Smell?" He Qian frowned.

"Yes. Smell." Xiao Xiao answered as he stared at one direction as he raise his cute little paw pointing on it. "There."

He Qian followed it and his face almost blacken at a little stall selling dried meats and dried fish. "Are you hungry again?"

"Hungry?" Xiao Xiao was confused and seeing the dark face of He Qian he froze. Then he look at the direction he pointed again and realized he was pointing at the direction of a very delicious and heavenly delicacy and his eyes sparkled as a trace of something wet falls from the corner of his mouth. "Oh look at that. It was calling and tempting my name." Xiao Xiao said as if hypnotized and He Qian's face darkened even more. He wanted to remind Xiao Xiao that they don't have a money but then he still choose not to say it and just decide to go home. The fish was drastically been removed by Xiao Xiao's perverted gaze that he suddenly felt so wrong and huffed.

"You will have it in the house. We can try to ask the Butler Old Man Wang."

Xiao Xiao was suddenly back to being energetic as he completely forgot the familiar scent he smelled. *Meow!*

As He Qian turn away a tall man in a combat clothes and boots showed from the corner near the stall of dried meats. He wear a serious and indifferent mysterious aura as his handsome face showed no expression. He was staring at the moving back of He Qian as it slowly fade away in the street.

"Captain Fu! Here you are! The truck is ready and the team is already waiting for us. Hurry!" urge the young man with a chestnut hair as his eyes seems to be twinkling with excitement. "I was looking forward to get stronger so I hope our task now would become fruitful."

The one called Captain did not answer and just calmly walk away followed by the enthusiastic jumping youth.

When He Qian get back home again by this time there is already his father and Li Chang waiting for him at the living room. "Damn! Acting time again." he said bitterly.

"I can sense your cheap mommy and sister upstairs. Your cheap sister is throwing tantrums and cheap mommy just watch her and is also mad." Xiao Xiao said as he climb again on his head settling there comfortably.

He Qian did not speak to Xiao Xiao anymore as he was already infront of his very serious father and the silent Li Chang who was looking at him with annoyance. He Qian already know what they're here for and before his father could bark his nasty mouth He Qian started it first with..

*Slap!*

He Qian's palm strike the unprepared thick face of Li Chang. The loud crisp of striking echoed in the whole place as the sound produced could stung once ear. Li Chang was dumbfounded. Completely surprised and unprepared. He Qian smirked as he did not give him another moment to recover from the shock. "You fucking piece of double shit! You promise me our forever! You promise you love only me! You lying bastard! You actually seduced my sister after I had accident and went missing! You're a cheap,     cheap    whoreman! I even give you that fucking precious jade! That was my Mother's! The only treasure she left for me! I hate you! I hate you forever!" after shouting another crisp sound was heard as He Qian also strike for the other side of Li Chang's face and then he hurriedly walk away as he run upstairs remembering to also support Xiao Xiao not to fall on his head.

He Qian burst out laughing when he came to his room and close the door. "What a good feeling to bully him like that.  *laughs!*"

Even Xiao Xiao was very amused by what he did and happily join him with his laughing. "That was fun! You did not saw you're father's reaction but I saw it! You really stunned him. And that cheap Li-boy was even more funnier. *baby Cat's giggle!*"

"Yeah right! Wow!  I was surprise by my own acting skills. I'm actually very good in it!" He Qian laughed again after saying that as his flawless chicks was tinted red by so much laughing and the corner of his curving into a crescent moon eyes was getting wet and misty. If one was to see him in this state they would surely be tempted to pinch his little chicks as he look too cute at this time.

After laughing for a while. Xiao Xiao's little butt wiggled before he seated down comfortably in the mattress as if owning the very soft and comfortable bed. Licking his paw, he busily clean his face and head that can't be reached by his tongue as he say, "I just suddenly felt wrong now."

He Qian nodded. "Yeah. I know. You're hungry."

"No-- well ofcourse I'm hungry but that's not what I mean. I just feel oddly unease. It felt like something bad will happen tomorrow."

He Qian frowned. "You're saying?"

"It was faint but I somehow sensed it although I'm not very sure what is it." Xiao Xiao said as he continue to bathe his self with his tongue and paw.

He Qian tried to search from the real He Qian's memories but he can't remember anything since the original He Qian only came here after two years after he regained his memories.

Later at night when He Qian was sleeping. Xiao Xiao quietly go outside as he pass through the window into the roof walking for some time quietly until he stopped in a certain place. He swiftly and safely landed on a small balcony as his little paws gently walked through the curtains being gently swayed by the wind. Going inside, what came to his view was a very large and wide space of a room and in the left side was a big bed much more bigger and looks much softer and comfortable than in He Qian's room. And in the bed was two person lying wide apart from each other and both were looking unhappy in there sleep sneering bitterly to each other for a time as they snoored.
Ignoring the couple in the bed Xiao Xiao jump into a big and elegant wardrobe quitely entering inside through the open crack since it wasn't closed too well. In the night, a faint sound of things getting smashed and forcibly unclasped was heard inside until few minutes later Xiao Xiao comeout with things bitten in his mouth as he quietly leave the room. It takes a minutes for him to get back in He Qian's room as using his window again and he swiftly jump back into the bed putting away the things in his mouth as he nudged into He Qian's face.
He Qian was easily awake as he look at the kitten. "I only find this two. Look." Xiao Xiao said showing the things he had taken from his parents room.

He Qian look at it and smirked. "Well done. This is exactly what I want." He inserted it inside Xiao Xiao's favorite candy pillow as the kitten happily ride on it and snuggled. "Keep it safe. Tomorrow, there will be a good show to watch." He Qian said as he get back to sleep in a very good mood.
