All My Colleagues Are Animals 89

Chapter 89

“Pei Rong, can you be my red panda? I will always be your tree.”

The young woman’s voice was wet at the end, a moving confession.

Pei the Little Able Cat’s peach blossom eyes fluttered lightly.

She clearly wanted to agree, but she had to be a little reserved.

And so, she waited a full two seconds before she proudly lifted her head and said with a pleased and spirited air:

“I can.”

Ye Qingyu’s heart pounded for a moment.

A fervent joy surged in her heart like a tide. She traced the woman’s appearance, expression, and posture at this moment, to be savored for the rest of her life.

The curve of her lips unconsciously lifted to its highest.

From a beautiful boss to a beautiful childhood sweetheart, this little red panda had finally become her beautiful girlfriend.

Her slightly trembling fingertips rested on Pei the Little Able Cat’s fair chin and gently caressed it.

The delicate touch of her fingertips on her skin made Ye Qingyu’s rippling, leaping thoughts gradually capture a stable reality.

She looked at the woman without a moment’s pause, her voice a little hoarse when she spoke.

“Then, do you want a kiss?”

Pei Rong licked the tip of her little beast teeth.

Her peach blossom eyes, as if sparkling with shattered stars, were fixed on Ye Qingyu’s lips.

“Mhm.”

And so, Ye Qingyu’s lips slowly pressed against hers.

At first, it was just a long and gentle warmth.

Her wet and soft tongue gently explored and lingered, and in her light sucking, they exchanged a clear sweetness between their lips.

On this soft and bright morning, the subtle sound of moisture was in the living room, sketching out a certain wanton ambiguity.

But as their breathing quickened, the craving in their hearts also surged darkly.

Ye Qingyu’s lips pulled away slightly, and she looked down at her beautiful girlfriend, who was flushed like a peach blossom from being kissed, her wet red lips parting and closing, pitiful and delectable.

Her pair of peach blossom eyes looked at her with an innocent and dependent gaze.

The thought that this little red panda already belonged to her, and a young and vigorous heart, stirred up an inexperienced and fervent desire in Ye Qingyu.

It was hard to restrain herself any longer.

And there was no need to restrain herself any longer.

Before the little beast could react, she panted lightly and, holding the back of the other’s head, kissed her again.

“Mmm…”

Pei the Little Able Cat’s misty lashes trembled slightly, and a whimper was about to escape her, but it was instantly swallowed by Ye Qingyu’s kiss.

Compared to the delicate and light warmth of just now, this was an overly passionate entanglement.

Her lips and tongue were scorching hot, and she advanced straight in.

A damp and deep possession, continuous.

Pei the Little Able Cat let out a light “Mmm” from being kissed, and the pink that seeped from the corners of her eyes was like a crushed spring cherry blossom, and her misty peach blossom eyes were beautiful and alluring.

A numbness coursed through her, and she helplessly clutched Ye Qingyu’s collar, and in her soft and weak state, she was lost in the human’s rich affection.

“Ooh…”

The feeling was piling up in the hot kiss, and she gradually couldn’t take it anymore. She couldn’t help but raise her hands with misty, teary eyes, and instinctively made a surrender gesture.

But, a red panda’s surrender was just a convenience for a human to hold her two slender white wrists and press her against the back of the sofa to continue kissing.

The pajamas were thin and soft, and the back of the sofa was covered in scratches from an unknown little beast’s claws.

In the squeezing, the slightly rough feeling made Pei the Little Able Cat’s tingling body even more unbearable.

And so, in the moment the human’s scalding kiss moved down, and the tip of her teeth not too lightly and not too heavily gnawed on the skin of her neck, Pei the Little Able Cat suddenly and pitifully trembled all over.

“Ying…”

The fireworks went off.

Ye Qingyu panted and paused for a moment, and then held the uncontrollably trembling little red panda in her arms and coaxed and comforted her in a soft, quiet voice.

She raised a hand to pet her long, reddish-brown curls, gently and with practiced ease smoothing her fur.

Pei the Little Able Cat lay limply on the human’s shoulder, her red lips, which were swollen and wet from being kissed, parting and closing as she panted with a hot, orchid-like breath.

She felt that today’s kisses were different from before.

After they had officially started dating, Ye Qingyu seemed to really, really want to eat her, a little panda, whole, and even tear her apart and eat her.

With this thought, a strong and dangerous premonition suddenly spread across her back and coursed wantonly through her limbs.

The naturally timid little red panda’s breathing was rapid, and her lower abdomen unconsciously tightened, and tightened.

“Ooh…”

Pei the Little Able Cat’s mind suddenly went blank for a moment, and she thus welcomed a second fireworks show.

She haphazardly clutched the corner of Ye Qingyu’s clothes and, uncontrollably, trembled and cried in the human’s arms.

“…”

Noticing that the little red panda in her arms, who had just calmed down a little, was trembling all over again, Ye Qingyu’s breath hitched, and a momentary confusion arose in her heart.

—The first fireworks show had been her, with her impure intentions, doing. But what was the reason for this one?

…It doesn’t matter. She’s my girlfriend anyway. It’s perfectly legitimate to set off as many fireworks as I want.

Ye Qingyu, who finally had a title, quickly and happily let it go, and gently kissed and cuddled her, and patiently accompanied the little beast through her second splendor.

Then she carried the little red panda into the bedroom and gently cleaned her with a clean towel.

The little red panda lay limply in the bed, unguarded and letting herself be arranged, enjoying the tree’s thoughtful service.

In the end, she fell into her girlfriend’s arms, clean and comfortable, and contentedly closed her eyes.

With a warm armful, Ye Qingyu lightly patted the red panda’s back, still not having recovered from the joy of confirming their relationship.

She kissed the woman’s long, reddish-brown curls, her thoughts surging.

She said in a gentle voice, “Thinking back on it now, it’s still so strange. So you thought we were together from the very beginning.”

Pei Rong haphazardly gnawed on the human’s delicate, white neck with her little beast teeth and said lazily:

“Mmm… but at the beginning, I didn’t really understand, and I didn’t have the concept of ‘dating’ in my head.”

The dazed little red panda, after falling in love with the human at first sight, had just instinctively wanted to possess her alone.

“During the interview, you said you liked me, and I wanted to raise you, so we got together. But at that time, I didn’t know what ‘being together’ meant.”

“I only knew that I wanted you to like me, to take the initiative to cuddle me, and to only have eyes for me. And I would also only look at you, one human.”

“Later, we had a few fireworks shows, and I began to realize that it seemed to be a kind of spring relationship for a little beast.”

“And then later, I watched as Shrimp and her ex-girlfriend, Panther and her master, and Gu Yue and Yun Qing all found happiness… and then one day, I suddenly discovered that, in the concept of human society, we were in a romantic relationship, and we had been dating since the day of the interview.”

That day, the red panda had belatedly realized that she and the human had been in a relationship all along.

Then didn’t the human know from the beginning?

The little red panda was shocked.

And as a big sister beast who had always prided herself on being particularly amazing, how could Pei the Little Able Cat admit that she was so muddled, to have been in a relationship for several months before she had belatedly realized it?

Where would she, a little red panda, hide her face?

And so, after her sudden realization, she had not made a sound, but had just continued to be in a relationship.

Ye Qingyu couldn’t help but laugh at the words. “So, it wasn’t until today, when you discovered that I had realized it even later than you, that you were willing to say it.”

Pei the Little Able Cat said with righteous indignation, “Mhm.”

A little beast’s thoughts are really so simple, tsundere, and cute.

Ye Qingyu, with a heart full of love, kissed her cute girlfriend.

Her hand moved down and their fingers interlocked.

But her girlfriend was a little unhappy. “Ye Qingyu, hold me a little tighter.”

“I’m sorry.”

Ye Qingyu apologized meekly and adjusted her position, letting the red panda lie on her.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and only then did Pei the Little Able Cat let out a contented, soft “ying,” and fell asleep.

***

B-City Public Security Bureau.

The release of the large black bear was successfully completed, and Lin Song and her police officers got out of the police car.

From a distance, they saw Little Bao running toward her, and a faint, almost imperceptible softness appeared on Lin Song’s cool and stern face.

She held Otter Bao’s hand tightly and turned her head to say to the police officers, “Thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest.”

The police officers waved. “Officer Lin, you should also get some rest.”

Yesterday, a black bear had suddenly appeared in a densely populated area of the capital, causing a great deal of panic among the public.

As the police force specially responsible for animal-related matters, the team was concentrating on investigating this case to give the public and netizens an explanation as soon as possible.

Lin Song looked at the departing backs of the police officers, her gaze deep and dark.

“Mom?” the little sea otter called out.

“Mhm.”

Lin Song pulled back her gaze and led Otter Bao to her lounge.

Bzz-bzz—

The phone in her pocket vibrated.

Otter Bao, as a matter of course, reminded her, “Mom, Auntie Shen is messaging you again.”

Lin Song paused slightly and looked at Little Bao.

“How do you know it’s her?”

The little sea otter said, “Because Mom calls Auntie Shen every day.”

She blinked her watery, big eyes and asked innocently, “Mom, is Auntie Shen my new mommy?”

“…”

The usually cool and calm Officer Lin’s pupils trembled slightly.

She suddenly stopped and stood where she was with the little sea otter, and promptly and seriously corrected her daughter:

“Little Bao, Mom and Auntie Shen only call and message each other for work.”

“She will absolutely not become your new mommy, and I will absolutely not have another human. It’s enough for us, mother and daughter, to be together.”

Lin Song’s tone was certain.

The little sea otter said obediently, “Oh, I’ll remember that.”

Returning to her lounge, Lin Song opened her computer.

Tonight was crucial for the “Green Bird” revenge plan, and they would be holding a final video conference to discuss it.

As the last one to go online, the moment Lin Song connected to the video, her gaze unconsciously went to Shen Rendong’s screen.

But she saw that the woman was wearing a black mask today, covering her gentle and upright face.

A few red dots were scattered on the fair skin outside the mask, like some kind of rash that was about to erupt.

“I’m sorry,” Shen Rendong said. “The Li family poisoned me before to control me. I haven’t received regular treatment recently, and my facial ailment has relapsed, so I can only attend the meeting with a mask.”

Ye Zhao said, “It’s fine. The Li family is about to be destroyed, Miss Shen…”

The conversation in the video suddenly became blurry in Lin Song’s ear, and in its place was a long and drawn-out hum.

Her pupils sharpened, and her breath was rapid.

Her fingertips trembled as she moved the mouse to click on Shen Rendong’s video screen and enlarge it.

Thump, thump—

Lin Song heard her own heart, which had been calm and steady even in the most dangerous situations, now pound so fiercely it was as if it were about to burst from her chest.

In the rest of the meeting, the usually focused, serious, and steady Officer Lin was distracted twice.

She took a deep breath and apologized in a hoarse voice.

On the other end, Shen Rendong explained in a gentle voice for her:

“She’s too tired. Officer Lin has been in contact with me until very late recently…”

Lin Song’s eyes were red, and she stared at the woman on the computer screen without a moment’s pause, her chest rising and falling heavily outside the video screen.

Behind her, Otter Bao was tiptoeing by with a snack and, unintentionally, glanced over.

But she saw her mother otter staring at a woman’s video screen, and tears were streaming down her cheeks.

It’s just work. Otter understands.

The little sea otter shook her head and thought with a certain maturity.

***

“I’m busy tonight. Mom and Little… and Auntie Xiao won’t be back. You two take care of yourselves.”

Ye Zhao said over the video.

“Okay. Thank you for your hard work, Moms,” Ye Qingyu said.

A little red panda poked a fluffy head in and added, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Looking at her two precious daughters, Ye Zhao curled her lips slightly.

The final step of her revenge was at hand, but she only felt a calm and peaceful relaxation.

After hanging up, Ye Qingyu picked up her fluffy girlfriend. “It’s time for a bath.”

“Mmm,” Pei the Little Able Cat lay lazily on Ye the Little Tree.

She watched the human busy herself for her, preparing her clothes and drawing her a bath.

Her bow-tie-shaped snow-white ears twitched slightly.

Every time Ye the Little Tree bathed her, she herself would get wet all over, which looked quite uncomfortable.

And after taking care of her, a little panda, she would have to draw another bath and wash herself alone.

And…

Pei the Little Able Cat looked at the young woman’s beautiful and delicate, white neck and her exquisite collarbone, and she unconsciously stuck out her pink tongue and licked the tip of her canines.

Ye the Little Tree had petted her, a whole red panda, all over. A red panda should also enjoy the same treatment.

The more she thought about it, the itchier her heart became.

And so, Pei the Little Able Cat raised a furry paw and proudly proposed a genius idea:

“Why don’t we take a bath together?”

Ye Qingyu paused slightly.

Her gaze, clear and deep, was on her red panda girlfriend, and she answered unhurriedly:

“…Of course we can.”
