Chapter 30: Get Out of Here

Ji Ziwei and the others had already come out because they hadn't seen Tan Yinyin before. They were looking for her, and now they finally found her.

"Yinyin, didn't you see your phone? I sent you so many messages, and you didn't reply." Ji Ziwei was a bit unhappy.

"I'm sorry," Tan Yinyin said apologetically, "I was busy just now and didn't check my phone. I thought it was already past 5 o'clock, and you should all be going home."

"We are about to go home," Ji Ziwei suddenly said a bit shyly, "Brother will take you home."

"No need, I'm still waiting for another brother." Tan Yinyin smiled at him, implying him to give up.

Huh? Brother? Danny, who was in Tan Yinyin's arms nibbling on fish jerky, wondered if she was talking about him.

"What brother?" Ji Ziwei was also puzzled and gradually had a vague premonition.

"It's the 18th player mentioned on the broadcast when we were in the secret room. He joined later, and I promised to wait for him to come out and take me home."

Danny nodded. So, the brother Little Dot mentioned was indeed him.

Ji Ziwei widened his eyes suddenly. Who was this little kid who dared to dig his corner!

"Who is he?!"

Tan Yinyin answered him innocently, "You probably don't know him. He's a very handsome brother, the most handsome guy I've ever seen. I really like him."

After hearing this, Danny suddenly felt his face getting hot and stopped nibbling on the fish jerky.

Snap! Ji Ziwei seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking.

No way! He just died a bit earlier, and Yinyin actually had a romantic encounter!

Could it be that fate didn't want them to be together?

"We'll go home first." Ji Ziwei had no choice but to say gloomily. His mother tiger at home had reminded him twice.

"Okay, bye!" Tan Yinyin waved goodbye to them friendly.

After Ji Ziwei and the others left, Danny, who was puzzled, used his paw to pat Tan Yinyin's hand, wanting to tell her that he was the brother she mentioned.

So, he successfully attracted Tan Yinyin's attention. Patting his own little chest, he said, "Meow, meow, meow~" trying to convey that he was the one she was talking about.

Tan Yinyin realized what he wanted to express and asked him tentatively, "Blue, are you trying to say that you know the brother in the secret room?"

"Meow, meow, meow~" No, I am that brother.

"Is he your dad?" Tan Yinyin guessed after thinking, looking at Danny with a gradually motherly expression.

Danny: "...Meow!" No, I am not my own dad!

"Meow, meow, meow~" He said anxiously while waving his paws to show that it was not the case.

"Oh, I see. He's not your dad." Tan Yinyin nodded understandingly.

Danny breathed a sigh of relief. That's great; Little Dot finally stopped making him sound so old. Dad? How is that possible!

"Then is he your brother?" Tan Yinyin asked again.

Danny patted his little chest, indicating that he is the brother.

"I understand. You mean he is your brother." Tan Yinyin nodded decisively.

Danny collapsed!

Well, let's just say he's the brother. He sighed, feeling helpless. It's better to be a brother than a dad.

However, the white-haired young man that Tan Yinyin was eagerly waiting for still did not come out.

She had to inquire with the staff, and the answer she received was that the ultimate horror black room was empty, and the 18th player had already left.

Unwilling to give up, she went in to look for him but couldn't find him. Moreover, the little cat in her arms seemed to be a bit agitated, so she had to comfort the cat first.

The little cat seemed to be anxious to express something all the time, but Tan Yinyin couldn't understand its meaning. After coming out of the secret room, the little cat quieted down.

She felt that the little cat might be too scared to stay in the secret room any longer.

Feeling disappointed for not waiting for the cat-human teenager, Tan Yinyin could only bring the little cat home. Under the setting sun, her lonely figure looked somewhat pitiful.

Danny, seeing her like this, felt sorry for her but didn't know how to comfort her. He could only keep rubbing his face against her chest.

...

When she returned home, Tan Yinyin thought that after beating Lin Churan so many times, she would definitely have to face Lin Churan's complaints and Tan Zhihai's furious scolding. She had prepared for the responses, but to her surprise, Lin Churan behaved unusually silent.

She had an ominous feeling during dinner, but nothing happened. Until early the next day, her stepmother Qu Fanghua came to knock on the door, asking Tan Yinyin to get up and accompany her to pick out clothes.

Tan Yinyin was worried about leaving Blue alone in her room, considering it unsafe, so she said to Qu Fanghua, "Mom, the college entrance exam is coming, and there are still some knowledge points I haven't grasped. I must review seriously today. What about Linran? Let her accompany you."

Qu Fanghua said, "Linran has gone to play with Xuanxuan. Yinyin, just accompany Mom for a while; it won't delay your studies."

Then, Qu Fanghua continued to chatter with her, saying, "Those aunties who play mahjong with Mom always talk about how Mom's clothes are the ugliest and how Mom doesn't dress up. Mom needs to dress up well; otherwise, if your dad is lured away by some vixen outside, what should we do?"

Tan Yinyin couldn't refuse her persistent chatter, so she could only accompany her. Before leaving, she instructed the little cat on where to hide if someone came in.

...

After Tan Yinyin left, Lin Churan and Qin Zhixuan immediately went to her room.

Lin Churan got the key to Tan Yinyin's room from Tan Zhihai. While unlocking the door, she gloated and spoke to Qin Zhixuan.

"Now, if we find the cat that was in Tan Yinyin's room yesterday, she's done for. Even if she doesn't admit it's her pet, I can still say she's secretly raising it."

In fact, according to Lin Churan's character, she should have made a scene yesterday. The reason she waited until today to do this was that, after hearing Qin Zhixuan's suggestion yesterday, she also felt that doing so would be a better way to retaliate against Tan Yinyin.

Danny heard the sound of unlocking and immediately crawled into the box under the bed.

It's really hard for him, a prince, to have to hide from humans like this.

He heard Lin Churan and Qin Zhixuan rummaging through things, and he was very angry, thinking, how could they search through Little Dot's things like this? It's so impolite!

But to prevent Little Dot from being punished, he could only stay silently in the box.

Unexpectedly, they turned out to be doing a carpet-style search, checking every inconspicuous corner, and even turning out the box under Tan Yinyin's bed.

"Great! I found it as expected! Let me see how I'll deal with Tan Yinyin now!"

Lin Churan exclaimed in delight, but this delight seemed to have no good intentions.

Qin Zhixuan also expressed her delight, but more subtly and insidiously.

Lin Churan reached out to grab Danny, but he angrily leaped up and swiped his claws at her face.

"Ah!!! You beast!!!" Lin Churan exclaimed, covering her painful cheek.

Then, she looked at her hand and indeed saw it covered in blood!

Qin Zhixuan was slightly surprised, maintaining a ladylike image and pretending to be a little concerned, saying, "Ranran, this beast actually scratched your face. Cats can carry many diseases. If you kill it now, Uncle and Aunt shouldn't blame you."

"Of course!" Lin Churan shouted, holding her face. Without hesitation, she grabbed everything she could find in Tan Yinyin's room and threw it all at Danny!

Danny agilely dodged around, and Lin Churan, going crazy, continued to throw things at him. He was furious; this malicious woman had turned Little Dot's room into a mess!

Meanwhile, Qin Zhixuan, with a malicious smile, stood behind Lin Churan, enjoying the show.

Danny caught sight of her and felt that this woman was also wicked! So, he leaped onto Qin Zhixuan's shoulder and unexpectedly swiped his claws at her face!

"Ah!!! My face!!!"

Qin Zhixuan collapsed and, like Lin Churan, began to throw things at Danny.

...

"Smack!"

Tan Yinyin, Qu Fanghua, and Tan Zhihai all returned home after receiving Lin Churan's complaints over the phone. Without letting Tan Yinyin explain a word, Tan Zhihai slapped her face hard, followed by a barrage of scolding.

"Look at what your secretly raised beast did to your sister's face!"

"If this beast has some plague, what will we do? You'll have to die to make amends for your sister! You useless thing!"

Danny, seeing Tan Yinyin return, feeling he made a mistake, ran to her feet and apologized silently by rubbing his head against her legs.

However, now, seeing Tan Zhihai unreasonably rushing over to slap Tan Yinyin and scold her so excessively, he became furious. He jumped onto Tan Zhihai's shoulder and swiftly swiped his claws.

Tan Zhihai reacted much faster than Lin Churan and the others. Ignoring the pain on his face, he slapped Danny hard against the wall.

Danny fell heavily, and before he could fully react, Tan Zhihai rushed over and stomped on him!

"No!!!"

Tan Yinyin screamed, ignoring the intense pain on her face and the dizziness from being hit, and rushed towards Tan Zhihai!

Tan Zhihai was knocked back, and Danny took the opportunity to escape. Enraged, Tan Zhihai picked up a broom nearby and violently struck Tan Yinyin!

While Lin Churan and Qin Zhixuan, having their wounds treated by Qu Fanghua, weren't even in a hurry to get vaccinated. They sat on the sofa, happily watching the drama of Tan Yinyin and Danny, smiling brightly.

Tan Yinyin, being beaten, had to shrink into the corner, trembling. But contrary to her fragile appearance, she didn't make a sound.

Danny desperately rushed over to block Tan Zhihai's broom for her but was tightly protected by Tan Yinyin.

Seeing this, Tan Zhihai, infuriated, beat Tan Yinyin even harder. Several bloody marks on his face made him look increasingly ferocious.

As he continued to beat, he cursed, "Useless! It's just a beast; what are you protecting? I'm telling you! As long as this beast stays in this house for one more day, I'll have to kill it! Get out right now and throw it away, or you can roll out with it!"
