[ENG] Tokyo Love Accident 《东京爱情事故》

Chapter 5 : Nightmare

      On the way home, Wei Xiao suddenly remembers the kitten in the park. She decides to take a detour to feed it, perhaps because she misses Jiaozi, and now she has a special fondness for cats.

      Entering the park, she sees the cat's nest she made under the eaves of the restroom still in place, but there's no cat inside. Holding the milk bottle, she meows, and soon hears a faint response, "Meow!"

      Following the sound, she discovers the little cat hiding timidly under the leaves in the crevice of a row of camellia trees, its eyes filled with panic.

      Wei Xiao approaches and gently strokes its head. She remembers that Jiaozi used to enjoy being petted on the head, and indeed, the little cat calms down. She extends the milk bottle, and the cat quickly starts suckling, showing signs of prolonged hunger.

      "Don't run around later, I come to feed you every day. Remember to wait for me."

      After Wei Xiao finishes speaking, the little cat stops sucking and meows at her, as if making an agreement.

      Wei Xiao laughs, "You're a Japanese cat, and you understand Chinese. You're so clever!"

      The kitten meows a few more times, then rubs its head against her hand, looking happy to receive praise.

      Wei Xiao's heart melts, she feels she has been blind before. How could she not like Jiaozi?

      After feeding the cat and playing with it for a while, she returns home.

      As soon as she enters the courtyard, Wei Xiao hears the piano playing. She goes to the kitchen, puts the recently bought vegetables in the fridge, and prepares a fruit plate. Yihuan likes to eat fruits after practicing the piano.

      After she finishes cutting the fruit plate, the piano stops playing. Yihuan rushes down like a gust of wind, sees the fruit plate, grabs it, and no longer eats with Wei Xiao as they did in the past few days.

      Wei Xiao finds her grudge-holding demeanor quite cute and laughs.

      "What's so funny!" Yihuan glares at her. "There's nothing to laugh about!"

      "Wan Qing asked if you're going to the Halloween parade."

      "I already told her I'm not going."

      "Then why did she still ask me?"

      Yihuan finishes the last bite of watermelon. "Maybe she wants you to persuade me to go together."

      "Your social skills are pretty good."

      "It's the Chinese yuan's social skills."

      Han Yihuan suddenly realizes she's unknowingly having a friendly chat with Wei Xiao and angrily slams the plate. "What does my social life have to do with you!"

      Not wanting to see the little princess torment herself into a split personality, Wei Xiao sincerely says, "How long do you plan to stay mad at me? Yesterday, I was really tired, so I was in a bad mood. Can you accept my apology?"

      Han Yihuan stubbornly says, "I don't need it!"

      "How about I make hot pot for you tonight? Is that sincere enough?"

      "Hot pot?" Han Yihuan's eyes light up. "I haven't had hot pot in a long time. Hurry up and make it."

      Wei Xiao thinks she's still a child and easily appeased, then takes a large bone from the fridge, washes it, blanches it, and starts making the soup.
