After a moment of silence, Xia Yu tilted his head and meowed, indicating that he didn't understand.

"Stop pretending, when you came in, I saw you hiding in the corner, using a fork to lure the maid away," Xu Youxiang pinched the black cat's face.

So that's where I was exposed?

I didn't expect that Xu Youxiang would see it.

Luckily, I was using a substitute.

No longer pretending, Xia Yu came to Xu Youxiang's notebook and typed:

Yes, it was me.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so this is your third body?" Xu Youxiang and An Siyao had compared Xia Yu's days together and found many gaps. They had basically reached a consensus on the matter of Xia Yu having another person, but they didn't expect it to be a cat, not a person.

Actually, this is my true form, Xia Yu typed.

"Do you think I will believe it?" Xu Youxiang said, holding one of the black cat's paws and pressing the meatball.

It all started in 1978 when 11 explorers and a black cat came to Greenland to explore mineral resources. There, they discovered a meteorite.

The meteorite carried an unknown and powerful bacterium, and none of the eleven explorers survived, only the black cat lived.

Moreover, the black cat gained a special power called— body exchange!

"Although it sounds pretty impressive, didn't you tell An Siyao before that you are a person from the future?" Xu Youxiang said, holding the black cat by the neck and cuddling it in her arms.

Without arguing, Xia Yu didn't really want to deceive Xu Youxiang; he just found it interesting.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Youxiang asked Xia Yu.

She placed the notebook on her lap, so the black cat didn't have to leave her embrace to type.

I interfered too much with An Siyao's life, so I came to see what she felt, Xia Yu told the truth.

"Then you don't need to worry. That girl is very loyal to you and doesn't care about her own affairs. Not to mention you made her famous, even if you let her to run away with you, there shouldn't be any problem." Xu Youxiang scratched the black cat's head with her fingers.

Xu Youxiang then reached out to the right.

Squinting, Xia Yu launched telepathy, feeling both mental and physical comfort simultaneously.

Yawning, he lay on the keyboard, ready to sleep, but Xu Youxiang pulled him up again.

"Hey, you said you could cure my leg, right?" Xu Youxiang asked him.

I should be able to, but it will take time, Xia Yu replied.

"Do you want anything, do you want me to listen to you like An Siyao?" Xu Youxiang asked again.

No need, I've already got what I wanted from you, and you don't need to pay anything else. And I didn't ask An Siyao to listen to me either. Xia Yu yawned again, still wanting to sleep.

"So, I don't need to keep a distance from other people because of you?" Xu Youxiang confirmed.

Xia Yu suddenly became alert. What did Xu Youxiang mean by that?

In his mind, he went through all the people Xu Youxiang could have contact with, then calmed down again, feeling that he might be overthinking.

"Can you go into a man's body?" Xu Youxiang's question was not over yet.

Generally speaking, I wouldn't do such a thing. Xia Yu didn't tell Xu Youxiang about his situation.

"That's fine." Throwing the Black Cat Yu aside, Xu Youxiang climbed onto the bed.

He actually crossed the river to dismantle the bridge.

Jumping back to the laptop, Xia Yu typed a message for Xu Youxiang to call Yuxue, saying that the cat was with her.

He planned to keep the black cat in the villa for a while. Although Xu Youxiang's words were quite credible, he still needed to observe for himself what kind of state An Siyao was in.

When he returned to his own body, Xia Yu immediately faced Yuxue's inquiry: "Brother, a woman called and said that Xiaohei is with her."

"Who is she?" Xia Yu pretended not to know.

"She said her name was Xu Youxiang."

"Oh, she's an acquaintance. I got it."

Although Yuxue was still somewhat puzzled, she didn't ask any more questions, seeing that Xia Yu's attitude clearly didn't want to elaborate.

After successfully fooling Yuxue, Xia Yu began to worry about how to deceive Xu Youxiang tomorrow.

When he was with the black cat, he only mentioned Yuxue but didn't tell Xu Youxiang that he was the owner of the black cat. He believed that after meeting tomorrow, Xu Youxiang would be surprised and then say how coincidental it was.

How should he react at that time to be natural?

If it goes on like this, there's no need to act as a talented newcomer, I can compete for the best actor title.

Forget it, I'll deal with it later.

Lying on the bed, Xia Yu slept a little longer.

The next day when they met, Xu Youxiang was indeed surprised and uttered the words that Xia Yu had anticipated. This left Xia Yu with mixed feelings.

After casually dealing with Xu Youxiang, Xia Yu took the opportunity to entrust the black cat to her care.

For the following week, Xia Yu practiced music with An Siyao and Liu Manman in the morning, pacified the students at An Siyao's place in the afternoon, or went to the black cat to observe An Siyao. In the evening, he wrote programs and drew art materials while making time to learn the xiao with Liu Ronglan.

In order not to arouse An Siyao and Xu Youxiang's suspicion, he let his trusted alternate persona take over his body so that he could go to An Siyao or Xu Youxiang's place in the morning as well.

A week later, Xia Yu's software was finally successfully coded. Now it was time for adaptation to various models and debugging.

However, he didn't take action immediately. He had an idea that, if successful, would render unnecessary his handling of the matters that followed.

Pulling out his phone, he called An Tianfeng.

"Oh, the software is done? Okay, bring it over and I'll have someone look at it," An Tianfeng said.

Skipping his afternoon plans, Xia Yu took a car to An Tianfeng's company.

After getting off the car, he saw An Tianfeng, who was coming back from playing basketball outside.

"Come on, mobile app right? I have professionals in my company."

Leading Xia Yu to his office, An Tianfeng introduced him to a young man.

Manager Ruan, who was one of the participants in the investigation meeting last time and a senior executive of An Tianfeng's company. This demonstrated An Tianfeng's emphasis on Xia Yu.

It was just Xia Yu's emphasis; An Tianfeng didn't believe at all that Xia Yu could create any good software.

You should know that in making software, technology, creativity, and experience are all indispensable, and success isn't that easy to achieve.

However, he was also quite curious about what Xia Yu had been working on.

Taking out a mobile phone used as a template, Xia Yu opened a petal icon on it.

This was a small software application that wasn't very famous on Earth in his previous life, but it was one of the top software in its field.

Its name was Forest, also known as Focus Forest, an app that could lock the user's mobile phone and help them break free from it, very popular among college students.

However, Xia Yu didn't use a tree icon, but instead used a flower, which was for another consideration.

As one of the top software in the field of focus, although it wasn't worth a lot of money, it could still provide Xia Yu with some objective wealth.

"What is this?" Looking at the illustration of a flower on the homepage, An Tianfeng and Manager Ruan were puzzled.

Xia Yu began to introduce the app.
