She then realized why Lin Feng had blushed when he picked up the brush.
For a moment, Su Qingya bit her lips tightly in shyness, feeling as though she were melting.
Leaving Su Qingya’s small shop, Lin Feng slowly returned to the villa.
By now, the sky had completely darkened, and the park lights in the villa grounds were lit one by one.
When Lin Feng reached the villa entrance, he found Liu Mengyao and Luo Keke confronting Zhang Wenhan.
Zhang Wenhan was holding the wolf from before, while Liu Mengyao, holding Xiao Qi, looked on warily.
“Little Linzi, you’ve come back just in time! This bully is going to unleash his wolf to kill Xiao Qi!”
Upon seeing Lin Feng return, Luo Keke immediately informed him of Zhang Wenhan’s malicious intentions.
“Little girl, stop calling me a bully. I’m older than you anyway, so you should call me Brother Zhang.”
Zhang Wenhan was displeased with Luo Keke’s address.
Bully was the name of a dog!
“Young lady, it’s alright. With me here, Xiao Qi will be fine.”
Lin Feng walked up to Liu Mengyao and, seeing her slight unease, smiled and reassured her.
“Lin Feng, drive him away. If he doesn’t leave, call the police!”
Liu Mengyao was furious at Zhang Wenhan’s actions. Who would privately keep a wolf and then threaten to have it fight her cat?
“Little girl, don’t call the police! I’m just curious how powerful your cat really is. If you don’t want to fight, then we won’t.”
Zhang Wenhan forced a smile. He was genuinely afraid Liu Mengyao would call the police.
“Yao Yao jie, let Xiao Qi fight it. Otherwise, this guy definitely won’t give up!”
Luo Keke’s temper flared. She took Xiao Qi from Liu Mengyao’s arms and placed it on the ground.
“Keke, don’t mess around! Quickly pick Xiao Qi up!”
Liu Mengyao chided.
“Yao Yao jie, it’s fine. Xiao Qi is so powerful, how can a wolf be its match? Don’t worry.”
“Besides, even if Xiao Qi isn’t its match, isn’t there still Little Linzi? If worse comes to worst, let Little Linzi go!”
Luo Keke giggled, rather anticipating the scene of Xiao Qi fighting the wolf.
“Lin Feng, don’t listen to Keke. Pick Xiao Qi up!”
Liu Mengyao was very angry. It wasn’t that she was worried about Xiao Qi being bitten to death, but rather that Xiao Qi was just a pet cat, a keepsake in memory of her elder brother Xiao Qi.
She could not allow Xiao Qi to fight with other animals casually; it would be disrespectful to her elder brother Xiao Qi.
Lin Feng nodded, squatted down, and said, “Xiao Qi, no fighting, understand?”
Xiao Qi lay obediently on the ground, as if it understood Lin Feng’s words.
Seeing an opportunity, Zhang Wenhan, unwilling to miss it, released the leash of the wolf.
Freed from its restraint, the large wolf immediately bared its fangs and walked towards Xiao Qi.
Liu Mengyao’s expression changed at this sight, and she instinctively took a few steps back.
Luo Keke was also startled by the wolf’s fierce expression. She grabbed Liu Mengyao’s arm and hid far away.
Only Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, “Zhang Wenhan, are you never going to stop? Do you not want this wolf anymore, or do you want to die too?”
“Hmph, such big talk! My wolf is the fiercest on the grassland. It bares its teeth at every enemy and doesn’t back down even from a Tibetan Mastiff!”
Zhang Wenhan snorted proudly, fully confident in his wolf’s ferocity.
In the past few days, he had sacrificed several of his vicious dogs to train this wild wolf, and none had survived its attacks.
Therefore, this time, he was convinced the wild wolf could kill the cat in front of him and avenge his fallen bullies.
“Is that so? Then I’d like to see how your wolf bares its teeth at every enemy!”
Lin Feng stood up and took a few steps back, creating space for the cat and the wolf.
“Lin Feng, what are you doing? Hurry up and pick Xiao Qi up!”
Liu Mengyao urged him impatiently, seeing that Lin Feng was no longer paying attention to Xiao Qi.
“Young lady, it’s fine. If Xiao Qi is in danger, I’ll come up and bite this wolf to death. Don’t worry.”
Lin Feng reassured her.
“Right! Little Linzi has a good mouth too. We’ll roast this wolf and eat it then! I, Keke, have never eaten a roasted whole wolf before!”
Luo Keke chimed in from the side.
Liu Mengyao had no recourse against the lively Luo Keke and could only watch now.
To Zhang Wenhan’s great disappointment, as the wild wolf approached Xiao Qi, it closed its mouth and lay down obediently on the ground like a husky.
Xiao Qi also remained still. The cat and the wolf lay facing each other, neither making a move.
“What’s going on? Attack, you!”
Zhang Wenhan was bewildered. His wolf was never like this; it was usually excited by any living creature and would attack immediately.
How could it be so docile towards a cat, acting like a puppy?
Liu Mengyao and Luo Keke were also puzzled.
“Yao Yao jie, could it be that this wolf has taken a liking to our Xiao Qi?”
Luo Keke’s eyebrows shot up.
“Silly Keke, what are you talking about? Our Xiao Qi is a male cat!”
Liu Mengyao chided, her imagination running wild.
“Male wolves can also like male cats. Humans have same-sex relationships, so animals must too, just like Yao Yao jie…”
“Like me what?”
Liu Mengyao blinked, momentarily stunned.
“Like, like a beautiful girl like Yao Yao jie, even girls like you, so we can’t rule out this special circumstance!”
Luo Keke quickly changed her tune, nearly letting slip a forbidden word.
“Zhang Wenhan, your wolf isn’t very fierce either. Hurry up and take it away, or we’ll really roast it and eat it.”
Lin Feng teased with a smile.
“You, don’t celebrate too soon. My wolf must have been too full today. Wait for me to starve it for a few days, and then I’ll come find you again!”
Zhang Wenhan awkwardly put the rope back on the wolf and quickly led it away.
“Alright, young lady. Let’s go inside. I’m starving.”
Lin Feng picked Xiao Qi up from the ground and petted it a few times.
“You’re hungry, but there’s nothing for you to eat. Didn’t you go out with Xia Xue? Then go find her to feed you!”
Liu Mengyao didn’t give Lin Feng a pleasant look.
Lin Feng could tell Liu Mengyao was still angry with him, so he gave up on the idea of eating.
Upon returning to the villa, Luo Keke threw a stack of review materials at Lin Feng.
“Hurry up and review your studies. These are the key points Yao Yao jie highlighted for you. If you dare to fail, you’ll be letting Yao Yao jie down!”
Luo Keke warned him sternly.
Liu Mengyao had spent several hours marking the key points for Lin Feng.
“Okay, I definitely won’t fail to live up to the young lady’s kind intentions.”
Lin Feng readily agreed, thinking that both Su Qingya and Liu Mengyao were very concerned about his studies.
Especially Liu Mengyao, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She might not forgive him verbally, but she still cared about him in her heart.
To not disappoint Liu Mengyao, Lin Feng could only pick up the materials and start studying.
At this moment, Liu Mengyao sat in her room, with a pile of orphanage documents spread before her. These documents, collected by Uncle Liu, covered all the orphanages in the city.
“Little Qi Ge Ge, I will definitely find you!”
Liu Mengyao encouraged herself and began to sort through them one by one, picking out the orphanages she felt were most likely to have been where Xiao Qi Ge Ge lived.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wenhan returned to his own villa, locked the wolf in its cage, and casually threw a chicken into the cage.
The next second, the chicken was bitten to death and eaten by the wolf.
“It wasn’t too full? What’s going on?”
Zhang Wenhan became even more confused. He thought that perhaps his wolf had been too cautious with so many people around.
Yes, wolves were naturally cunning. If it were when no one was present, it would surely have bitten that stinky cat to death in one bite!
With this thought, Zhang Wenhan, under the cover of night, led the wolf to Liu Mengyao’s villa entrance once more.
Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Qi was currently lying in the yard. Upon seeing someone approaching, its entire furry body bristled, and it immediately transformed into a tiger.
