My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 156 - 155 Heating

Chapter 156: Chapter 155 Heating

The next day dawned hazy, and Shao Zifeng opened his eyes on time, as waking up early had become a habit he’d cultivated over the past half a year.

Glancing at the little deer still sleeping beside him, Shao Zifeng carefully got out of the blankets and rose to his feet, put on his sportswear, washed up in the bathroom, and after that, he closed the door and left the bedroom.

Just as he was coming downstairs, he saw the lynx crouched at the door giving him a plaintive look. Shao Zifeng looked down at the emerald ring on his right hand, bent down to stroke the lynx’s fuzzy head, “Wait until it wakes up before you go in, and watch the house well, got it?”

“Oh~” The lynx, feeling Shao Zifeng’s caress, brightened its gaze a little, pressed its left paw over the right, rested its big head on top, and gave a weak whine before watching Shao Zifeng leave.

“Little Shao, off for a run again?” A grandmother dressed in Tai Chi attire, with a head full of silver curly hair, looked at Shao Zifeng with a kind smile on her face.

“Good morning, Grandma Zhao.” Shao Zifeng paused to exchange a few words with the elderly lady, then continued on the route he had set out for himself.

...

Bishui Star City covered a vast area with extensive greenery, but not so many residents.

After all, those who could live here were, without exception, people of status and position, well, Shao Zifeng aside.

The villas here were something that couldn’t be bought with just money, like the aforementioned Grandma Zhao, whose son was a war hero, a meritorious serviceman of the highest order.

Every morning, emerging from his villa to jog along the main roads within the community, Shao Zifeng gradually got to know many of the local old men and women.

Of course, most of them merely recognized each other on sight, not knowing which villa in which part of the woods the other lived.

Running a lap around the community’s scenic lake, followed by practicing a set of military boxing in his own bamboo grove, Shao Zifeng, soaked with sweat, finally finished his morning training.

When he pushed open the wooden door, the sky was already bright, and the little deer had gotten up, lying on the sofa on the viewing deck, staring blankly at the water.

At the sight of Shao Zifeng’s return, it chirped happily, leaped down from the sofa, and followed Shao Zifeng around with bouncy steps.

He prepared a loving breakfast for them, which was actually just the Muzu milk powder they didn’t finish before mixed with a wood-based energy potion.

Waking up Lingling from the ring, the drowsy little creature immediately perked up at the sight of food in the bowl, crouched beside it, and absorbed the energy within.

Shao Zifeng watched them finish eating with a smile, then went on to fry an egg for himself.

After cleaning up the dishes, Shao Zifeng felt as though he was overlooking something… Hmm.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter; he still had to head out after packing up.

Going up to the second-floor bedroom, Shao Zifeng found a convenient bag for packing clothes, opened the wardrobe, and neatly folded two sweaters his mother had knitted for him before placing them in the bag.

After a moment’s thought, he dug out a down jacket from the bottom that he’d bought but hadn’t worn yet and stuffed it into the bag along with two pairs of cotton socks.

Thud.

Right then, a round stone egg rolled out from a pocket of the clothes in the wardrobe and dropped onto the wool carpet, making a dull sound.

Shao Zifeng squatted down to pick up the stone egg, his eyes fixed intently on it for a long while before he finally sighed helplessly. It was still the same.

It was half a year ago, on the first day Shao Zifeng had moved in, when he placed the stone egg beside his pillow. He had not fallen asleep yet when he felt a familiar emotional fluctuation, and then he’d seen a ball of white light surge out from his forehead into the stone egg.

In the following months, worried something might happen to the egg and curious to uncover its mystery, he kept it with him at all times.

However, since then, no matter how he observed the stone egg, its exterior never showed any reaction, and gradually, he’d forgotten about it.

Unexpectedly, it had been hiding in the wardrobe all this time. Picking up the stone egg and wiping it off, Shao Zifeng placed it beside his pillow and, with the bag fully packed, turned and left.

Bang.

Not long after the door closed, the stone egg emitted a faint white glow and rocked slightly.

…

In the heart of Su City’s commercial district, after more than half a year of reconstruction, it seemed to have regained its former bustle.

Shao Zifeng stood at the entrance of the commercial street, idly twirling a green ring on his finger.

It wasn’t until he left the house that he remembered what he had forgotten, the poor big cat.

Thinking of the cat’s plaintive eyes, he could only comfort it when he got back home.

Sigh.

“Big Brother Shao.”

A familiar voice sounded from behind him, and Shao Zifeng turned around to find Li Yiming, dressed in thin clothes, standing behind him at some point.

He slightly bowed his head, his two hands nervously tugging at the hem of his oversized clothing.

“You’re here,” Shao Zifeng said, his mouth curving into a habitual smile.

He internally sighed; the kid was alright in every way, but for some reason, every time he saw him, he acted strangely, either hanging his head or blushing, just like a little sister.

He looked around and spotted a Cantonese breakfast shop nearby: “I haven’t had breakfast yet, join me for a bite.”

Li Yiming lifted his head to glance at the nicely decorated breakfast shop, hesitated for a moment, and then slightly nodded.

Approaching the shop entrance, Shao Zifeng peered through the window and saw only two tables occupied inside, perhaps because locals were not accustomed to Cantonese cuisine, and the business wasn’t doing well.

He pushed the door open and walked in, a chill hitting him, with the temperature barely warmer than outside.

“This shop owner is too stingy, not even turning on the heating,” Shao Zifeng muttered as he casually picked a seat to sit down, since his main reason for coming wasn’t to have breakfast.

Looking at the nervous Li Yiming, Shao Zifeng felt somewhat helpless. He was about to start speaking after tapping on the table,

when Li Yiming, startled by the knocking, trembled all over. Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched slightly as he said softly, “Go try on the clothes in the bathroom over there.”

Li Yiming raised his head to see the bag Shao Zifeng had pushed towards him and said in a low voice, “Thank you, Big Brother Shao.”

“Don’t thank me; it was my mom who prepared it for you. You know I don’t have many friends, and she was really happy to hear that I made one,” Shao Zifeng waved his hand, nonchalantly pinning it all on his mother and lying without even blinking an eye.

‘Friend’

On his way to the restroom, Li Yiming savored Shao Zifeng’s words, feeling much more relaxed, a smile appearing on his lips and his steps becoming lighter.

…

“Hello there, are you dining now?”

A young voice arose beside him, its Mandarin mixed with a thick accent seemed a bit awkward. Shao Zifeng, who was watching the pedestrians outside the window, turned his head and felt the chill deepen a bit.

He looked up at the approaching person, a uniformed waiter with a stiff smile and lips quivering slightly from the cold.

“Serve it now,” Shao Zifeng said as he looked at the thinly dressed waiter and asked, “Doesn’t your restaurant have heating on?”

“How could we not have it on? It’s been on since early morning, but something’s wrong, it only blows cold air…” The young man seemed to realize he had said too much and bowed slightly, “Please wait a moment, sir.”

Shao Zifeng watched as the waiter hurriedly left and a playful expression crossed his lips; it looked like there was an issue indeed.
