Strange Cards

Chapter 27 White Rain

"Ring ring, ring ring."

A moment later, Shiyu's doorbell rang. She went out and saw a delivery guy holding a bag, looking at her with a very complicated expression.

"Why buy a brand new one for this child?"

"For personal use, shouldn't you buy the original flavor?"

The delivery guy muttered to himself as he walked away, and Shiyu felt as if an arrow had shot through her heart; she wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.

The cat-eared girl curiously peeked out from behind, her two lively cat ears swaying back and forth.

Upon seeing this, Shigure immediately shoved the girl back in and then closed the door.

"Are you stupid?!"

Shiyu slapped the girl's smooth forehead in an annoyed tone and then said.

"Big sister, haven't you noticed anything different about you and me?"

"If you go out with those cat ears and that tail, people will send you to the cops, and they'll probably slice you up for research."

The girl's expression instantly turned terrified, and she clung tightly to Shigure's arm.

"Don't run around outside!"

After Shiyu finished speaking, he opened the bag, took out several sets of girlish lingerie, and helped the girl in front of him change into them.

What the girl didn't know was that if she went out now, countless private restaurants would be willing to take her in.

But Shigure is purely selfish; his life motto is that once something is in his hands, unless it was borrowed, it can never be returned.

As Shigure's fingertips brushed against the silky smooth surface, she calmly recited a calming mantra in her mind, her entire being as still as if she were dead.

Shortly after the girl was dressed, the second doorbell rang.

Shiyu pushed the girl into the kitchen with one hand, locked the kitchen door, and then opened the door to bring in the breakfast.

After releasing the girl from the kitchen, Shigure pressed her down on the dining table and took out breakfast from the takeout menu.

Shi Yu held up a fried dough stick and gestured to the girl a few times before asking a question.

"Would you eat this?"

The girl shook her head. Shiyu took the fried dough stick, broke one half into pieces and put it into the soy milk. He then pinched the girl's mouth open with the other half and stuffed it in without saying a word.

"Hmm.........."

The girl choked on the large fried dough stick and couldn't even make a sound until she tentatively took a small bite, after which her eyes lit up instantly.

The girl stuffed the remaining fried dough sticks into her mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them. Then she took the bowl of fried dough sticks soaked in soy milk and ate them as well.

"Cough cough cough cough."

"Silly cat, you'll choke to death."

Shi Yu patted the girl's back impatiently to help her catch her breath, while the girl's face was filled with resistance as she looked at the strange-smelling congee with preserved egg and lean pork.

Shiyu saw the resistance on the girl's face, scooped a spoonful from the bowl and gestured to the girl.

"It's delicious, would you like to try some?"

The girl quickly shook her head, and even the cat ears on her head swayed with the shaking.

Shiyu, refusing to believe it, shoved a spoonful of congee with preserved egg and lean pork into the girl's mouth. After wearing a mask of pain for three seconds, the girl's expression instantly changed.

"See? I told you, how could something so delicious be bad?"

The girl sat in front of Shiyu, eating the congee with preserved egg and lean pork one bite after another. Soon, the girl painfully stuck out her little tongue.

Shiyu saw the bright red tongue and knew what had happened. He went to the kitchen, took some ice from the bottom of the refrigerator, put it in water, and handed it to the girl.

"Put your tongue in and hold it there without spitting it out; it will be fine in a little while."

"You're a cat with a cat's tongue, yet you eat so fast... No, you are a cat, after all."

After relieving the pain with ice water, the girl finally finished eating the remaining congee with preserved egg and lean pork. After finishing, Shigure tidied up the table and led the girl to the living room.

Shiyu glanced at the girl a few times, and nodded involuntarily when he saw the girl with snow-white hair.

"Not bad, at least it's a white-haired cat with white ears, which gives me the motivation to keep keeping it."

"Do you even know your own name? And can you even speak properly?"

The girl shook her head after hearing this, and Shigure stroked his chin as he pondered.

"My name is Shigure, you can't possibly be called Kira, can you...?"

"Fearful? No, no, that would mean something terrible would happen if we opened the door in the future."

"Canned food? That's even worse."

A series of strange names suddenly flashed through Shi Yu's mind, but few of the names he came up with had a good ending.

"I need to quit playing miHoYo games next time."

"I can't possibly use the name 'Man Sui,' can I? Aside from whether this girl is tough or not, she might eat me alive!"

After pondering for a while, a sudden inspiration flashed through Shi Yu's mind.

"You and I both use the character 'rain,' but because I used to call you Xiaobai, your surname is Bai."

"Bai Yu, how are you?"

Upon hearing the name, the girl nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling.

"It's a pity you can't speak, but being a mute bride is fine too."

"Otherwise, if this girl is like Dr. Lobster, I'll be in big trouble. It's better if she doesn't know how to talk."

After naming the girl Shigure, Shigure idly scrolled through her phone, and then the Hunter's special phone rang.

After Shi Yu picked up the phone, she found that it was Liu An calling, and quickly answered the call.

"Sister Liu An, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

"Gong Long appeared at the entrance of the Xiqu Public Security Bureau in Nanhai City, holding a knife and threatening the public."

"Then find someone to take him out. Surely there isn't a single person in the police station who knows how to use long-range weapons to rescue a hostage?"

"No."

Liu An took a deep breath and said.

"Gong Long specifically requested you to go. If he doesn't see you within ten minutes, he will kill the hostage with a knife."

"Thirty seconds have passed since those ten minutes. The boss and his men have arrived with their weapons. They usually don't kill people in public unless things are absolutely necessary."

"What about that integrated power grid?"

"He made contact with the hostage and was grounded; if he had chosen to use that tactic, even the hostage might have died."

"Understood, I'll go there right away."

"Um........"

Just as Liu An was about to hang up the phone, the other end of the line suddenly became noisy for a while, and then Guan Yun's voice rang out.

"After you finish, don't go back, come directly to the Hunter. I happen to have a research project that requires the ability of your card."

"it is good."

Shi Yu tidied herself up, grabbed her protective suit, and was about to leave when she saw Bai Yu still sitting blankly on the sofa.

After glancing at Bai Yu a few times, Shi Yu simply went to the bedroom, grabbed a hexagonal hat, put it on Bai Yu's head, wrapped Bai Yu's tail around her waist, and tucked the white T-shirt into her pants to prevent the tail from accidentally exposing itself.
