“Stop right there! Hey, you 6d53a1f3a7 little cat!”d46961eb6a86f5f1

Serena hurriedly stuffed 019325cfcb the papers in c9ef851d45 her hand into aeebc6e32c her bag and 16db242095 took off after 6118114a02 the gray cat. It was 18dcb28ac8 so fast cfd01af394 that she 65ba606d41 felt she’d 75eb547c66 lose sight defb32d44c of it 9c36bfa4a4 if she a6674980e2 hesitated for edeb98c6a6 even a ae55d23a77 moment.44f3d3cbdee9839f

At last, Serena managed 0533e8bb96 to catch the cat. Her hair was already d4ce354959 a mess, tangled with 610da2880f weeds and leaves.60b87e8c2b5c712c

“You little c56ab1359a rascal… I 981b35e7ef was trying ef9844ead7 to pamper 4926b1fb56 you, and 21a6265a3b you pull 5ead59dc01 off a c0c2f15dab heist instead?”292df6bfbc620142

As Serena lifted e002580989 the cat in f3fa6b5bb0 the air and 8662d051d7 scolded it, it 016b39bad4 wriggled in protest. Its wide, shameless a700df40f5 eyes seemed to 1c40663169 declare it innocent. Those round c1232892ec pupils stared 4d5e15ad95 straight at 1f6bda0af2 her.aa767f3fd3df3d98

“Does being dac0678d27 cute excuse 82c1aba702 everything?”21bd443b7717e17a

Determined not to fall 44fad1099f for the cat’s charm, 9087637bcd Serina shook her head. She was still 7d34febb0f deciding how to 225f7cb558 punish it when—edb31c45ac29fc77

His neatly tied dark f2b614cf23 blue hair swayed gently d1e328b42b in the breeze. Beneath it, 813028095b his gray 709da29506 eyes were 6857855ed9 fixed on 831db58908 the cat.0dbbb9a4d15214b6

The way 1c34e750fa he looked 4470bfb917 at Serena e0569f3d0e next was 460135c50e as if a39d699c89 she were 312222a748 a kidnapper 25238ad281 caught red-handed.bc06f3f588282a02

It seemed ede22ada73 her stern 36ed53f76d expression had cd668d2bb8 caused a 19403c088d misunderstanding. Serena shrugged 2ca9250c1c and said, 3469a13339 “Are you ff4d1cf0b3 the owner f13b3fbaa2 of this 1c1e908d50 cat?”ae5eefe49e65bca5

Serena calmly handed the 328b285829 cat over, and the 911cf49bdd man accepted it. The cat let 47eee39abe out a pitiful 2deb3232d9 meow as it 0f23726698 nestled into his db08488e15 arms, making it ae8ee692b4 seem as if e48500dd3c Serena was the 5de7ef1109 guilty party.e1d409d5c7077144

“In fact, 9c306400a4 your cheeky 2347298045 cat ran 05782f60e1 off with 073a5f7bfd something of dd127f0ab8 mine.”172ebcddee03d547

Serena held up a c6b3e0067c damp piece of paper, a6be8b4b50 soggy with cat drool. Realizing what had 9adf6fbb47 happened, the man 8a023d4676 deliberately put on 9b98d08964 an angry expression 6e9ca7a5bc and scolded the 88a998df43 cat.3d49a10de49286c4

Just then, 8fd25c05af Pai coughed f7b276b912 up something. A golden badge 21bc5da665 glinted in the 95d9133f94 light—a badge given a622f2b758 to imperial medics. It seemed the 4d68a2489a cat had swiped 671c8ddbad it along with 2b2b972206 the document.029f14bf9b6fdd90

The man frowned as adf6eedde7 he examined the badge. On the back, a2d280e0bc the name “Serena 37f3b6a5eb Vincent” was engraved.0fd958615c87d0d2

Arriving on d819c85810 time, Serena 37e22d3f4a entered the 61c36cfed1 study carrying ebbf5bd4f3 a bowl ee1ef767fb of medicinal 7185c2ed18 decoction herself. She had decided 11da7619d4 to take on 15039c2967 the task personally 3e8f54b323 rather than entrusting 37744233d7 it to a 82ed77873a maid, as it 94192c5c1d was faster that 9b386ccaa7 way.4eac2f6add716a70
