Chapter Three

"What's going on here and why does the Salt Maiden look five seconds away from skinning either Pang or Rui-ge alive?" asked Yue with an amused look as the girl was holding her cat close to her body and seemed to be glaring death at the idiots. His eyebrow arched as his brother crossed his arms over his chest as he knew his brother had noted that Yao really looked upset and just knew whoever upset her was going to pay.

"Go on, tell Cheng-ge! My baby is not taking the complete rap, here you two!" huffed Yao as she held her Da Bing even even closer to her body protectively.

"Tell me what exactly?" demanded Sicheng as he narrowed his eyes as they swept over them all and noted the tense, terrified looks from his support and the manager along with Yao's overprotective stance and worry...for her furry menace. Connecting the dots, his eyes zeroed in on his fist tank and gritted his teeth with only seeing two fish in the tank before he leveled a dark look on the males. "Who left the lid off the tank?" He demanded of them both and noted the wince Yao gave as she held her furry beast closer to her body. There was no way in hell he was blaming his girl considering, her furry menace would never got to his fish if they lid had been on the tank

"Rui-ge was the last to feed them!" tattled Pang as he ran from the room, causing both Lao K and Lao Mao to peek around the corner with amused looks, as there was no way in hell he was facing the Captain's wrath or their Mid's wrath at the same time! Besides, he was not at fault here, Rui-ge was!

"It was an accident." tried Rui-ge weakly with a grimace as he looked at the very displeased looking Captain as he glared at him on the cold side.

"Come on Da Bing. It's cat jail for you tonight. You know better." muttered Yao as she shook her head at the indignant look on his furry face. "Don't give me that look, despite the lid being off? You knew better, brat." she scolded softly of the male as he meowed with seemingly to huff as she sighed moving for the stairs and up to her room.

"Pay deduction, considering you left the lid off, which seemed to give Yao's furry menace permission to have fish for dinner." he snarked at the man as his eyes widened in shock. He turned on his heel to walk off as he had paperwork to get done and was glad this was not one of the nights Yao's usually danced up on the roof, so he would not miss that or else he would be in an even fouler mood as he enjoyed that she didn't mind him being there as she danced to her own music that she played on her ear-pods.

"Where are you going, Salt Maiden?" asked Yue as he eyed the girl as she came walking down the stairs and eyed her outfit. She was dressed in a knee length black skirt that was snug around her hips along with a skin tight dark red tank-top and black jean jacket and had to blink because the outfit covered her well but enhanced all her damn curves, definitely announcing to the world she was not a kid as she had a pair black sneakers in her hand with slippers on her feet. Her hair was even pulled back from her face into a short pony-tail, showing coal liner around her eyes making them stand out with some chapstick it seemed on her natural dark red lips.
