Chapter 271 : Mom
After Lina sent Lin Nan a message, she helplessly glanced at the black-clothed young man beside her.
She had nothing to say to this young man. Pursing her lips, she once again used magic to project her consciousness into Sprite's body far away.
On the other side, Sprite, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lilith beside him with a mocking expression. Lilith immediately felt as if a nightmare was descending, frightening her so much that her fur stood on end.
Although Sprite's consciousness was now occupied by Lina, and the soul inside Cola's body was Lilith, both were cats, yet when they spoke, it was still nothing but meaningless meows.
However, communication between cats relied on body language, which neither of them knew how to use. As a result, up until now, Lilith only suspected that the white cat was Lina, but had no definitive proof.
This white cat! It must be surveillance sent by Lina!
This black cat is most likely Lilith!
The two cats locked eyes. Without any courtesy, Lina raised her paw and smacked Lilith's little head. Lilith was quite timid now and didn't dare act too clever or human-like, so she meekly lowered her head and let herself be smacked several times in succession.
A bit dizzy... She shook her body.
Seeing no reaction from her, Lina couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. During this time, Lilith had been hiding quite well. If she hadn't discovered Cola watching TV dramas while meowing commentary at Chen Yao's bedroom window a while ago, she wouldn't have placed her suspicions on a cat. After all, no matter how she thought about it, Lilith didn't seem like a witch who could humble herself to hide in a cat's body.
Yet this was the reality.
After several days of contact, Lina clearly sensed that Lilith had gradually gained magical power, probably by absorbing the magic that Lin Nan unconsciously scattered.
She walked forward with cat steps and buried her head in Cola's embrace, sniffing that familiar magical aura, becoming even more certain this was Lilith.
Lilith's body stiffened, but then thinking that this cat was male, she relaxed.
What a pity it wasn't mating season yet, otherwise she could take advantage of this time to experience a different kind of life.
What a pity it wasn't mating season yet, otherwise she would have already had her way with Lilith.
Both cats' minds simultaneously began thinking dirty thoughts.
Lilith didn't dare act too boldly, only sticking out her tongue to lick the black cat's body, taking a little advantage.
Very abruptly, Lina suddenly stood up from Lilith's embrace and cheerfully followed Lin Nan's footsteps into the house.
Lin Nan looked back at it somewhat puzzled, muttering to herself: "Why are you following me? I'm going to take a bath..."
"Together! Together!" She clearly detected the excitement in this cat's eyes. She paused but didn't think too much about it, turning to continue toward the third floor.
The cousins' barbecue skills weren't very good. Slow and unappetizing. Lin Nan didn't have the patience to keep waiting and planned to take a bath and then cook herself a bowl of noodles to fill her stomach.
Her stomach was rumbling, but she had never considered using magic that could allow short-term fasting. After all, eating was one of her life goals.
Getting a magic that could speed up digestion without gaining weight would be the real deal.
Since becoming Chen Yao's girlfriend, Lin Nan had finally started caring about her weight and figure. She used to like looking at photos of beautiful women, but now when she looked at those online images, her eyes would blaze with jealousy.
If a beauty of that caliber appeared around Chen Yao, he'd definitely be enchanted!
"I need to get some magic that can improve my figure... when I sit down, there's always two layers of fat on my belly." Lin Nan muttered, touching her flat stomach as she walked upstairs.
Although she had no belly at all when standing, if she did a Ge You slouch, her somewhat high body fat percentage would cause two layers to appear.
She wanted a mermaid line! (TN: Just think of very fit people.)
Unfortunately, Chen Yao, that useful tool, wasn't by her side now. Now that she'd become Chen Yao's girlfriend, Lin Nan had no intention of letting other men take advantage of her. At least in the future, there was no possibility of using charm magic on outsiders like her academic advisor.
Returning to the bedroom, she glanced at her phone to confirm Chen Yao hadn't sent her any messages, then picked up the cat pajamas from the bedside and walked into the bathroom.
However, she discovered Sprite was already waiting in the bathroom.
"What? Want to take a bath?" Lin Nan was startled.
"No! I want to watch you bathe!"
This cat's meowing manner was very much like Cola's from before, as if it were really having a conversation with a person.
But recently Cola had become much dumber, seemingly with only eating and sleeping left in her head, completely lacking that former cleverness and liveliness.
As they were talking, Cola also poked her head in curiously. Upon seeing it was Lin Nan about to bathe, she immediately lost interest. Instead, she rushed into the bedroom, picked up the last remaining can of cat food in one bite, and ran off.
Who knew how a cat that once despised canned food had become like this.
Lin Nan casually tossed Sprite out of the bathroom and shut the door. Just as she was about to undress and bathe, she suddenly discovered a pair of deep blue cat eyes peering through the door crack.
This bathroom had no windows, relying entirely on several fence-like gaps at the bottom of the wooden door for ventilation. When Lin Nan was little and bathed here, she'd been peeped on by Liu Xinyi once. She never expected this time the voyeur would be Sprite.
Recalling this incident, Lin Nan realized her cousin's perversion wasn't something that developed in just a day or two. If she weren't cute and a girl, she probably would have been in detention for indecency long ago.
Lin Nan scowled, preparing to open the door to chase the cat away, when she suddenly saw another pair of eyes appear in the door crack.
"Liu! Xin! Yi!" She kicked the door open and angrily looked at the man in black clothes squatting outside the door.
"???"
The man slowly raised his head to look at Lin Nan. The two stared at each other, neither speaking for a long moment.
Who is this? Some perverted voyeur? A burglar?
Lin Nan retreated two steps in terror, so panicked she momentarily forgot she still had invisibility magic.
She took a deep breath, gathering herself to scream.
However, she watched as the man's knees went soft and he directly knelt on the ground, his head kowtowing to the floor.
"????"
This sudden grand gesture frightened Lin Nan so much her face turned pale. She jumped aside, even more question marks appearing above her head. The scream she'd prepared was swallowed back into her throat.
"Mom! I've been searching for you so desperately!"
"Meow?" Sprite had an "I knew it" expression while covering her face with her paw.
Cola, who had just been about to carry the canned food downstairs to find someone to help open it, was dumbstruck.
The can dropped to the ground, but she still had a dazed expression on her face.
Lin Nan pointed at her own face, asking incredulously: "What did you call me?"
Were thieves nowadays this impressive?? Discovered by the homeowner, they just straightforwardly kneel down, kowtow, and call out "Mom"?
"Mom!"
