Using her most feared cats against her didn't make her yield; it seemed his journey to tame her would be a long one.
However, this also meant that his future wouldn't be too boring.
Si Ye's lips curled into a slight smile as he turned and descended the stairs without a second glance. The moment he left, the cats started meowing again.
Chen Zhi took a step back in fright and mustered the courage to call out Si Ye's name a few times, but received no answer.
Only then did she truly believe that there was no one outside at that moment.
What then was the source of the footsteps from just before?
Was it really Si Ye, or could it have been a thief?
The more Chen Zhi thought about it, the more scared she became, so she retreated to her bed, covering her head and ears, trying to sleep.
But she couldn't fall asleep at all; the constant meowing of the cats outside tormented her nerves, making her genuinely want to hit someone.
