88: There's a saying about this place.

“Hey, baby, we’re almost there, have you arrived yet?”

On the D962 bullet train, Yang Dian had just stood up, seeing the announcement that they were nearing the station, when he saw the young man opposite him dial a number and start showing affection:

“Ah? You’re already here? Why did you buy roses, that’s such a waste~”

The young woman sitting next to him, not to be outdone, also dialed a number:

“Hey sweetie, the train is entering the station, where are you waiting for me? Oh~ right at the Channel entrance~”

“Sweetie, do you miss me? I miss you too~”

Listening to the affectionate voices ringing out one after another, Yang Dian felt a bit troubled.

It wasn’t because he, a single man, was caught between them, forced to witness their display of affection.

If he really wanted a partner, he just had to beckon, and the female Policemen at the Public Security Bureau would flock to him.

What troubled Yang Dian was simply the voices coming from their phones.

‘Is there really something special about Chengdu?’

Amidst his thoughts, the train slowly pulled into the station.

After getting off, Yang Dian deliberately slowed his pace, following the man and woman out of the ticket gate.

Sure enough.

At the exit, some people in wedding dresses, and others holding roses, rushed towards them.

And then, a collective gasp echoed from the exit.

Some even took out their phones to snap photos and videos.

Why?

Because the woman in the wedding dress had approached the young woman.

The young man holding the roses had jumped onto the young man.

Online image, found on Douyin... “This is Chengdu~”

“Chengdu definitely has its own unique charm.”

“Not a wasted trip, truly not a wasted trip, seeing such an exciting scene right upon arrival.”

“Hehe, Mom, I believe in pure love again~”

Listening to the whispers around him, Yang Dian subconsciously clapped his hands.

The next moment, enthusiastic applause erupted at Chengdu East Station.

Embarrassed, the two young couples held hands and ran out of the exit.

Following the two young couples out of the exit, Yang Dian looked at the sun, which had just risen not long ago, and let out a deep breath:

“Youth, ah~”

Amidst his emotion, Yang Dian opened the location Li Xin had sent him yesterday.

“Sichuan University College of Bioengineering?”

“Why do they all like to put Research Institutes in universities?”

“But even if a super weapon is to be placed in a university, shouldn’t it be arranged with colleges like the Polymer Research Institute, etc.?”

Muttering to himself, Yang Dian hailed a taxi and arrived at the gate of Sichuan University without any hindrance.

Looking up at the Sichuan University gate, Yang Dian took out his phone, ready to call Li Xin.

But glancing at the time, he put his phone back.

It was just past seven, and the working people were probably still sleeping.

No need to disturb their sweet dreams.

‘Never mind, I’ll explore the campus first.’

He took out his ID card, swiped it to enter the school, and after only a few steps, the crisp chirping of birds entered Yang Dian’s ears.

Lush greenery lined both sides of the road, birds hopped and chirped on the branches, and occasionally he encountered one or two tourists cycling leisurely... Yang Dian’s previously somewhat restless heart slowly quieted down.

The environment can truly improve a person’s state of mind.

‘I wonder who the strongest person in Chengdu’s Special Administration Bureau is.’

‘And what stage have they reached in their research on Awakening here?’

‘There’s an old Daoist priest on Qingcheng Mountain who is a Martial Ancestor. I wonder if I can visit him; I need to find a way to send him a formal request...’

Strolling along the shaded path, Yang Dian, lost in thought, suddenly twitched his ears and turned his head to look at the green belt by the roadside.

The next moment, a Little Black Cat cautiously poked its head out, looking at Yang Dian.

“Human, did you bring food?”

Yang Dian’s pupils contracted sharply, his hairs stood on end, and his five fingers instinctively curled, forming a Dragon claw shape.

Strands of Qi and blood gathered at his fingertips, as if a Dragon claw could emerge at any moment, tearing everything apart.

The Little Black Cat was startled by Yang Dian’s movement, and the fur on the back of its neck stood on end:

“Human, you’re so fierce.”

“I don’t like you anymore.”

Listening to the voice that seemed to echo in his mind, and watching the Little Black Cat facing him, retreating step by step into the green belt, Yang Dian took two deep breaths, calmed his wildly beating heart, and cautiously spoke:

“Are you talking to me?”

The Little Black Cat turned around, left a few drops of urine, and scurried into the green belt in a flurry.

“You’re so fierce, I don’t want to talk to you.”

Letting out a deep breath, Yang Dian patted his head:

“My nerves are too tense.”

“I was actually scared by a Little Black Cat.”

After several more deep breaths, Yang Dian immediately turned around and went to the small shop he had passed earlier:

“Boss, do you have cat treats or canned cat food?”

The middle-aged uncle smiled happily:

“Yes, going to feed the cats again?”

It was Yang Dian’s first time entering Sichuan University, and the middle-aged uncle had undoubtedly never seen him before.

But he was still incredibly enthusiastic, as if they had known each other for a long time:

“How much do you want this time?”

Thinking of the big and small cats hidden in the green belt, Yang Dian calculated briefly and said:

“Seven cans, ten cat treats.”

“Cat treats are one-fifty each, cans are ten yuan.”

“Eighty-five in total.”

As he spoke, the boss handed Yang Dian ten cans and fifteen cat treats.

“I haven’t fed those little ones this morning, and I have to take my daughter to tutoring later, so I probably won’t have time.”

“Could you help me feed them?”

Looking at the plastic bag the boss handed him, Yang Dian paused, then smiled:

“Okay.”

He took out his phone, scanned to pay 85 yuan, and after waving to the boss, Yang Dian returned to the green belt where he had encountered the Little Black Cat.

Perhaps they saw familiar items in Yang Dian’s hand.

After a rustling sound, two fat orange cats, two calico cats, one tabby cat, and one small white cat emerged from the green belt.

They must have been well-fed by the uncle at the small shop, lacking nothing.

After the six cats emerged from the green belt, they didn’t fight or scramble, but simply sat in a row in front of Yang Dian, letting the morning sun cast long shadows, waiting for mealtime.

Seeing this incredibly healing scene, Yang Dian’s lips subconsciously curved upwards again.

Fluffy little creatures just make people happy.

He took out the cans one by one, opened them, and placed them in front of the cats.

Watching them bury their heads in the cans, purring happily, Yang Dian then turned his gaze to the green belt, shaking the can in his hand:

“And you, do you want some?”

The Little Black Cat hiding in the green belt lifted its paw in hesitation, then put it down.

Then lifted it again, then put it down.

This went on repeatedly.

Until the tabby cat finished its can, came to Yang Dian’s feet, nudged his foot, and meowed.

Not until Yang Dian opened a second can of cat food for it.

Only then did it cautiously emerge from the green belt.

“Human, you’re not allowed to be fierce to me.”

The Little Black Cat had just taken two steps towards Yang Dian when the tabby cat, which had been burying its head in the can, suddenly lifted its head, crouched down towards the Little Black Cat, transforming into a diamondback rattlesnake:

“Hiss~”

“Human, tell it not to be fierce to me either!”
