Ji Xiuyun, who knew his teacher's temperament well, placed the warm milk in front of Yue An and stroked Yue An's head.

To make it easier for Yue An to drink milk, Ji Xiuyun had specially chosen a glass with a bigger mouth so that his cat's head wouldn't get stuck in the glass.

Yue An looked at the milk in front of him, then looked at Ji Xiuyun and slammed his paws on the table.

"Meow!"

My paws were squeezed!

My paws were squeezed, but I didn't get to drink the milk in his glass!

Yue An was filled with dissatisfaction.

Ji Xiuyun sat down and looked at him for a while, but he still didn't understand what Yue An meant.

Marshal Kevin smiled as he drank his milk. He was very happy to see his student's troubled expression.

He knew Ji Xiuyun's personality very well.

Ji Xiuyun had been in a high position at such a young age, so he always had to keep a straight face and act swiftly to ensure that his authority wasn't challenged. Most of the time, he had a cold expression on his face, which scared people away from him. He was like the King of Hell.

Even in Ji Xiuyun's army, there were people who believed the media's nonsense about him being a killing god. This was enough to show what kind of image Ji Xiuyun had in the outside world.

It was a good thing to see his student relaxed and immersed in his work. He could feel that his student was becoming more lively.

After all, humans were still humans. They would feel more at ease if they lived with more vitality.

Yue An was still meowing at Ji Xiuyun. His voice was soft and tender, which made people's hearts go soft.

Marshal Kevin listened to the meowing and saw that Ji Xiuyun was looking at Yue An seriously. He was trying to understand what Ji Xiuyun meant through Yue An's body language.

However, the answer was obvious. He couldn't understand it.

Marshal Kevin glanced at Yue An, who was waving his paws angrily. He was puzzled for a while before he understood.

He thought for a while, then stretched out his hand in front of Yue An and said, "I … I'll let you pinch me back?"

Yue An stopped meowing and turned to look at Marshal Kevin with Ji Xiuyun.

The milky white cat took two steps back in disgust and sat on Ji Xiuyun's hand.

Ji Xiuyun looked at his teacher's regretful face. He lifted the cat in his hand and placed it on the empty seat on his left. He then passed the milk over.

Marshal Kevin looked at Ji Xiuyun and then at Yue An, who had lowered his head and was licking the milk in his cup. He let out a sigh in his heart.

. Since when did his student know how to take care of others?

Oh, another cat.

Anyway, they were both intelligent creatures.

Yue An buried his head in the cup that was filled with the sweet smell of milk. His ears twitched and his tail wagged.

When it raised its head from the cup, the little bit of milk on its cute cat face was licked clean by its paws. Then, it moved its short legs and went to the front of a dish, burying its head in it as it ate.

Marshal Kevin decided not to dwell on the issue of his student's change. He quickly snatched a plate of his favorite dish from Yue An's hand and scooped a spoonful of it into his mouth at lightning speed before devouring it.

Yue An watched dumbfoundedly as Marshal Kevin snatched the food from the cat's mouth. The cat was unable to react in time and could only watch helplessly as the spoonful of food was eaten by half of the plate!

Yue An turned around and howled at Ji Xiuyun, "Meow!!!"

Look at him!!!

Don't you care about him!!!

Ji Xiuyun's action of picking up the food paused slightly. Suddenly, he had a deja vu of being sandwiched between his partner and his old mother.

He was in a dilemma for a while. After rubbing Yue An's head, he silently looked at his teacher.

Marshal Kevin was still holding the plate of food in his hand. He looked at Yue An with interest as he turned his head to complain.

When Ji Xiuyun looked over, he immediately put down the dish in his hand and smacked his lips. "Why do you act like you have a little girlfriend? You soften when she acts cute?"

"…" Ji Xiuyun was silent for a while before he corrected him. "Yue An is a boy."

Marshal Kevin was shocked. "… You like boys?"

Ji Xiuyun couldn't be bothered with him anymore.

Marshal Kevin's public image was as steady and reliable as a mountain. However, in private, he was a chatterbox who couldn't hold back his words.

Especially when placed in front of Ji Xiuyun, all sorts of things like military affairs, politics, and family matters, with just a touch of his lips, he could ramble on and on about three, four, five, six, six things.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Marshal Kevin stayed at Ji Xiuyun's house and chatted with him. Most of the time, Marshal Kevin talked and asked questions. Ji Xiuyun listened and answered.

Yue An lay in the pit of Ji Xiuyun's legs. He wagged his tail and yawned, enjoying Ji Xiuyun's skillful scratching of his chin.

He felt so good that he was like a living immortal.

When Marshal Kevin left, the sun had already set. Yue An, who had no interest in the current affairs of the human race, was already sleeping soundly next to Ji Xiuyun with his little belly spread out.

"Oh, right."

Before Marshal Kevin left, he said to Ji Xiuyun, "Don't let the cat out of the bag when you meet that kid from the research department during the second hearing."

Ji Xiuyun nodded.

Marshal Kevin paused. "I still have to pretend to be a fool in front of those old guys. Otherwise, they'll really think that I'm threatening them and think of ways to throw me out of the Imperial Planet."

Marshal Kevin wasn't averse to sacrificing himself for the country. When he became a soldier, he was already prepared to die on the battlefield.

However, he didn't want to be sent to his death by someone else's dirty tricks.

Who didn't want to live anymore?

He was a man with a family!

"If anything happens, we'll work together. I'll take my leave first."

Marshal Kevin waved his hand and looked around the house through the surveillance cameras. Then, he skillfully left through the blind spots of the surveillance cameras in the residential area.

When Yue An woke up, he raised his head and looked around. He didn't see the golden retriever who was causing him trouble. He yawned happily and got up to shake his fur.

Ji Xiuyun took a military-grade cognitive helmet and covered the white kitten, which wasn't even as big as his head.

Yue An poked his little head out from under the helmet. He shook his head and pricked up his ears.

His two cat eyes were still a little sleepy. He stared at Ji Xiuyun and said, "Meow."

"I didn't train yesterday. I'll make up for it today," Ji Xiuyun said.

When Yue An heard this, he retracted his head and lay down under the helmet. He looked like he was going to sleep again.

Marshal Kevin stood at the side and mercilessly activated the helmet. He took his angry cat and ran over to fight with his subordinates.

As a result of Ji Xiuyun's actions, Yue An faced him with his butt for the next three days.

Other than feeling a ball of fluffy fur under his warm blanket when he was sleeping, Marshal Kevin hadn't touched his cat for three days.

Even the custom-made cat-shaped Holo-Brain couldn't please his cat.

Marshal Kevin was in a bad mood when he couldn't touch his cat.

During the second session of the military court, Marshal Kevin was in a bad mood. He looked at the Minister of Scientific Research with a vicious gaze.

The Minister of Scientific Research, who had been troubled by the movements of the black market and the blame from his superiors, felt like his head was going to be cut off in the next second.

At the end of the day, he was a researcher. In terms of intelligence and political intuition, he was completely incomparable to Ji Xiuyun and the upper echelons of the Empire. Now that he was stuck in the middle, he had become cannon fodder that neither side would be pleased. Other than facing Ji Xiuyun directly, there was no other way.

Yue An took advantage of the fact that Ji Xiuyun had started to get busy. He livestreamed for a few hours every day. After he had made a lot of money, he started to yearn for freedom.

Not every expensive and delicious restaurant had takeout.

Yue An searched for a bunch of restaurant addresses in the comments section of the livestream. He decided not to order takeout today. He would go eat at a restaurant.

The little white furball quickly finished the rest of the snacks, and hung the small cat-shaped optical computer that Ji Xiuyun had given him around his neck. Then, he strode out of the house with his short legs.

There were two cars parked in Marshal Kevin's garage.

Yue An looked at the eye-catching bright red car that Marshal Kevin never touched. He felt that this car was tailor-made for him.

From the front to the back of the car, it emitted a "look at me, look at me, come and kiss me" vibe.

Yue An thought for a while. He touched his optical computer and sent a message to Ji Xiuyun.

Ji Xiuyun quickly picked up.

Yue An meowed at Ji Xiuyun's holographic image.

The Marshal looked at him silently and the red carriage beside him that was too eye-catching.

No matter how one looked at it, that car didn't fit Ji Xiuyun's taste. Of course not, because that car was given to his student by Marshal Kevin. He said that he didn't want Ji Xiuyun to wear black all day long. Red complemented his skin better.

The problem was, who needed a red car to complement his skin?

Was he wearing a red car on his body?

That was why the car had always been in the garage and had never been driven out.

Yue An raised his paw and patted the car door.

He did not have permission to drive the car. He had to ask Marshal Kevin for permission.

Ji Xiuyun was sitting in a restaurant near the courtroom. Beside him were the First Army's commander and the Seventh Army's commander, who had been pushed to the ground by Yue An two days ago.

Now, this young man was terrified when he saw Yue An's petite figure. He looked at the holographic image and jumped behind the First Army's commander.

Marshal Kevin wanted to mention the fact that Yue An had ignored him for three days. However, because his two subordinates were beside him, he could only swallow his words.

"Are you going out?" Ji Xiuyun asked.

Yue An wagged his tail and meowed.

"Be careful."

Ji Xiuyun did not ask any more questions. He gave Yue An permission to drive the car and reminded him, "Turn on the livestream. I will know if there are any accidents."

Yue An was stunned. He licked his nose and meowed softly, "Meow."

Ji Xiuyun paused for a moment. He seemed to have heard something from the meow.

Did this mean that … the Cold War was over?

As the marshal thought about it, his gloomy expression eased a little.

"Be careful." Marshal Kevin reminded him again. "If someone wants to harm you, don't be soft-hearted."

"Meow!" Yue An agreed.

The restaurant that Yue An was going to today was a famous ancient earth restaurant in the imperial capital.

He was very interested in this type of restaurant.

This restaurant was located in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital by a lake. It was next to a mountain and faced the water. Everything inside was made of wood.

Other than the owner and the chef, all the service staff were robots. They could solve the problems of special guests when they came to public places.

Yue An scanned the robot waiting at the door. He transferred money and was led into a private room.

The private room was not big. It was made of pure wood. There was a wooden canal next to the table. The dishes were placed on wooden planks and floated to the table through the canal.

Beside the canal, there was a mechanical arm made of wood. It was specially used to bring the dishes from the canal to the table.

Yue An looked at the menu on the table. He was sad to find that he still could not understand the artistic names of the dishes.

Why couldn't they be called Braised Pork Trotters, Chili Stir-Fried Pork, Potato Strips, or Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs?

Yue An thought as he turned on the livestream to ask for help from the audience.

As soon as the live broadcast started, Yue An ignored the group of people who were checking in today. As usual, he detected the 62 new masks of the Department of Scientific Research and blacklisted them.

Ji Xiuyun is in a lawsuit with your department head!

Why do you love cats?

I won't let you!
