Chapter 60: Act VIII: The Cat Who Wants to Become Human (4)

After two hours of driving in the rain, Tan Yiming's car only managed to drive three kilometers away from the theater.

This distance could easily be reached by foot.

The sweet voice of Goddess Lin Chi-ling [T/N: Taiwanese voice actor] came from the navigation: "It is twelve kilometers away from Huacheng Dance Academy. Estimated time of arrival is fifteen hours. The road ahead is congested, please pay attention to driving safety on rainy days~"

Xiang Cai: "..."

Tan Yiming: "..."

Fifteen hours, that was long enough to fly to the United States!

Fanfan's belly made a rumbling roar.

"Why don't we find a restaurant first?" Xiang Cai looked at the time. "It's almost seven o'clock. Let's eat something for now, don't starve the child."

Tan Yiming also agreed to the proposal. "Then I will call Gu Yan so they don't wait for Fanfan for dinner."

The two planned with a harmonious atmosphere.

Xiang Cai brushed the public reviews and found that at the next intersection, if one turned right, there was a famous hot pot restaurant. Cold and rainy days were best matched with hot pot. And ... As soon as he thought that Cen Manchuan was fishing with the group of gibbons, he had an inexplicable impulse not to 'fall behind'.

Tan Yiming added, "We both have to protect our throats and not eat spicy foods. And, this young one can't eat spicy food either so we can all have a nourishing mushroom soup pot instead."

Xiang Cai suggested, "It's better to have the soup mandarin duck-style [T/N: split in half]; and half tomato soup.'

"It turns out you like sweet and sour things."

"Neither." Xiang Cai laughed. "Even if it can't be spicy, we can still order a red one for our eyes to enjoy.."

Fanfan, who was struggling to grab a head in the canyon of the kings, hummed: "You adults are so strange, do you like to lie to yourself so much?"

Xiang Cai, who was inexplicably poked in his sore spot: "..."

Tan Yiming turned his head to glare at him: "Give me your mobile phone, you are not allowed to play games."

Fanfan honestly handed over his mobile phone, and in a flash, pulled out a Switch from his school bag and started playing Mario Kart. He drove the car off of the main road position, and then 'popped' out, and 'popped' back onto the track.

Accompanied by the background music of racing cars, the silver-grey SUV struggled hard in the rain. Tan Yiming thought that if he had known today, he would say nothing about the Switch as a company employee benefit.

In the end, instead of eating Sichuan-style hot pot, they went to a Cantonese restaurant with a good reputation.

Xiang Cai's clothes were blown half-dry by the heater in the car, but still stuck to his body. His shoes were full of rain and so when he walked, it made little splashes.

With his appearance thus, an honored restaurant such as this one, would definitely not let him in.

At the critical moment, Tan Yiming remembered that he had a spare suit in his car.

Xiang Cai asked a little embarrassedly, "Where can I change into it?"

Tan Yiming coughed: "This car has a screen attached, so you can change it in the car. Fanfan and I will take our seats first."

After that, Tan Yiming pretended to be calm while getting out of the car. He hugged Fanfan, closed the door, and then left without squinting.

Xiang Cai looked at the big and the small receding figures, then looked at the suit in his arms. He brought it to the tip of his nose and sniffed—sure enough, the clothes also had the good smell of sunlight and the ocean.
