"Have your parents gone back?" Shen Siyuan put away his phone and looked at Chang Qingsong, who was walking towards him. Chang Qingsong nodded, looking a bit forlorn. Although he had been deceased for many years, he had never truly been apart from his parents. So this farewell was sadder and more disappointing for him than it was for his parents. "Are they alright?" Shen Siyuan asked casually. Thinking of the two elderly people, Chang Qingsong finally smiled. "They’re fine. I can tell they’re not sad, maybe even a bit relieved because they can finally let go," Chang Qingsong said. Shen Siyuan understood; humans feel grief at the end of life, but if death is not the endpoint, just a new beginning, then perhaps it isn’t so hard. Chang Qingsong’s parents probably had this mindset. Their son had a good place to go to, allowing them to completely let go of their worries. "That’s good. You should go back into the banner." With a thought, Shen Siyuan summoned the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and collected him directly. As Chang Qingsong’s wish was fulfilled, a few streaks of Merit descended from the sky, falling directly into his Sea of Consciousness. But Shen Siyuan wasn’t as delighted by gaining Merit as he used to be. Because these days, Merit had been falling from the sky every day, and he had become somewhat desensitized. This is the advantage of teamwork, so this time back at Bin Hai, it’s important to push forward the cooperation with the authorities quickly. Thinking of this, Shen Siyuan took out his phone and sent a message in the group of three. "Who’s coming to pick me up today?" Yesterday, although Ruan Hongzhuang said she would pick him up at the airport, Taozi wouldn’t agree, and was humming and hawing in the group, so nobody confirmed who would pick him up in the end. "None of us are picking you up, make your own way back," Ruan Hongzhuang sent a voice message, in a playful tone, and ended with an emoji of a hammering cat head. "Hmph, acting like a big shot, as if we’re begging you for something. Just take a taxi back yourself," Taozi added. Great, messing around and in the end, no one was picking him up - wasn’t this like three monks having no water to drink? "Potato... Potato..." At this moment, Dou Dou came running over excitedly. Seeing her overly enthusiastic expression, Shen Siyuan knew it wasn’t anything good. "There’s a really cute cat here, let me take you to see it." She said, reaching for Shen Siyuan’s hand. "A cat? There’s a cat in the airport?" Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised. Pets could only be checked in; they couldn’t be brought directly onto the plane. "Yes, a really cute cat, with big eyes and a golden body," Dou Dou said excitedly. "A golden cat? Don’t tell me it’s a fake toy cat," Shen Siyuan asked. "What else could it be?" "Then I don’t want to see it." Shen Siyuan sat back down. "Just take a quick look. It’s super cute," Dou Dou said, supporting her chin, trying hard to act cute for Shen Siyuan. "Are you trying to get me to buy it for you?" Shen Siyuan directly exposed her little scheme. "Hehe, Potato is the best." Dou Dou clung to Shen Siyuan’s arm, speaking in a cute tone. "Who did you learn this from?" "Auntie, I saw her do it," Dou Dou said confidently. "No money," Shen Siyuan said irritably. "How can a grown-up like you not have money? Is it because you don’t work hard enough?" Dou Dou said angrily. "Even if I had money, I wouldn’t want to waste it." Shen Siyuan was annoyed, but she seemed to have a point. "Then lend me a little. My dad will pay you back; he’s a big boss, very wealthy. He works really hard," She said, glancing at Shen Siyuan as if saying, "See my dad, now see you." Seeing this, Shen Siyuan had an urge to spank her bottom. "Do you really want it that much?" Dou Dou nodded quickly, "Really want it. I’ve never wanted anything so much in my life. If I don’t get it, I’ll die with my eyes wide open..." "Where did you learn all these lines?" "Grandpa Liu." Dou Dou mentioned a name that surprised Shen Siyuan. "You talked to him?" Shen Siyuan asked, surprised. "Tell me honestly, or I won’t buy it for you," Shen Siyuan said. Upon hearing this, Dou Dou immediately straightened up. "Please don’t tell Sister Xiao Yue..." It turned out Dou Dou was curious about where Xiao Yue often went, so she secretly followed her to Lady Huang’s residence. Not only did she meet Grandpa Liu, she also met Huang Lancai. Huang Lancai liked Dou Dou very much and often took her out to play. "You really are a clever little monkey," Shen Siyuan said, patting her head. Hearing this, Dou Dou smiled a bit shyly. "Why are you apologizing?" "I shouldn’t have kept it secret from Potato," Dou Dou said honestly. "It’s all small stuff, no big deal." "I didn’t mean to keep it from Potato, I just didn’t want Sister Xiao Yue to know I was following her," Dou Dou explained. "Are you afraid of Sister Xiao Yue?" Shen Siyuan asked. Dou Dou immediately nodded. "Why are you afraid of her?" Shen Siyuan asked curiously. "Because she’s my sister." Dou Dou’s reason was straightforward and simple. Check latest chapters at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 Shen Siyuan didn’t press the issue further and instead went with Dou Dou to see the golden cat she wanted to buy. Once they reached the place, Shen Siyuan saw it was an Egyptian cat-god ornament. "This isn’t a toy; it’s a ceramic ornament. It could easily get broken." And it wasn’t golden; it was black, really, but with so many gold decorations, Dou Dou called it a golden cat. Shen Siyuan glanced at the label, something about an Egyptian Gigi Cat. Dou Dou didn’t care if it was a toy or an ornament; she just wanted it. Shen Siyuan let her pick one herself, and he paid for it. "Potato, I love you!" "Okay, no more flattery, hurry up and pick one." Dou Dou quickly picked the one she liked best and had Shen Siyuan pay for it. Watching her carefully hold the Gigi Cat like it was fragile glass, Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but chuckle. "By the way, where’s Duoduo and the others?" Shen Siyuan asked. "Over there." Dou Dou pointed in a direction. "Is Tang Tang with them too?" He wasn’t worried about Duoduo, after all, Duoduo could fly back anytime. He was concerned Tang Tang might get lost. "Let’s go find them." Shen Siyuan walked in the direction Dou Dou had pointed. Dou Dou hurried to keep up, but she didn’t dare walk too fast, afraid of dropping and breaking the cat in her hands. Before long, they saw Tang Tang standing in front of an ice cream shop, head tilted back, drooling, looking like a greedy cat. Duoduo was squatting nearby, chin in hands, looking helpless, but there was no sign of Xiao Yue anywhere in sight. "Tang Tang," Shen Siyuan called. Tang Tang turned her head, saw Shen Siyuan, and immediately ran over, arms outstretched, with a big goofy smile. Shen Siyuan opened his arms, intending to pick her up, but to his surprise she veered and lunged at Dou Dou instead. Then crash, the Gigi Cat Dou Dou had just bought shattered into pieces. "You’re dead meat, you little rascal..." Dou Dou was so mad she felt like she was about to catch fire.
