Chapter 77: Little Honeybee

Her cheeks flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“You… what was that all of a sudden…”

Xiong Yibai laughed. “Just to wake you up. I was afraid that in your dazed state, you’d accidentally feed the cat litter to the kitten as cat food.”

Feng Miwan’s mind buzzed. “Oh… oh… th-thank you…”

Xiong Yibai sighed inwardly:

She actually said thank you?

How could she be this cute?

Xiong Yibai suppressed her laughter and patted her shoulder.

“No need to thank me. Go on.”

Feng Miwan nodded and hurried away.

At the cat bed, the Little Orange Cat was still hugging the Little White Bear Doll, sleeping soundly.

“Kitten, kitten?” Feng Miwan crouched down and gently called to it.

The kitten ignored her.

Feng Miwan then remembered she hadn’t named it yet!

She turned to Xiong Yibai. “Yibai, let’s name the kitten!”

Xiong Yibai said, “Sure. What do you want to call it?”

Feng Miwan’s imagination ran wild:

“Hmm… ‘Orange Ukyo’? Or ‘Orange Throne’? ‘Orange Racing’? How about ‘Orange Champion’!”

Xiong Yibai listened to this string of wildly eccentric names, a black line seemingly sliding down her forehead.

She looked at Feng Miwan somewhat speechlessly.

“…Do you… have to give it a name that’s… um… so full of power?”

Feng Miwan scratched her head and chuckled. “I can’t think of anything! You come up with one!”

Xiong Yibai looked at the Little Orange Cat hugging the Little White Bear in the cat bed, then at Feng Miwan, whose eyes sparkled expectantly. After a moment’s thought, she said:

“How about… calling it ‘Little Honeybee’?”

“Little Honeybee?” Feng Miwan repeated.

She was Little Honey, and the kitten was Little Honeybee!

The name sounded just like they were family!

So cute and connected!

“Sounds great! Sounds great! Little Honeybee it is!”

She leaned close to the cat bed. “Little Honeybee? Little Honeybee? Time to get up, Little Honeybee?”

Miraculously, the kitten actually opened its eyes.

It stretched lazily, then walked with elegant cat steps to the litter box nearby, took care of its business, and returned to the cat bed to lie down again.

Feng Miwan watched this scene and froze in place.

“…It… it doesn’t need to be taught? It knows how to use it on its own?!”

Xiong Yibai had already set breakfast on the table.

“Compared to how it warned us of danger yesterday and knew to get in the car, the fact that it can use the litter box seems very normal, even a bit ordinary.”

Feng Miwan thought about it. “…You’re right.”

She added fresh cat food and water to Little Honeybee’s bowl, watched the little one come over to eat, then sat at the table and took a sip of her honey milk.

Looking at Xiong Yibai across from her, she suddenly felt sentimental.

“You know, Yibai, back when I stayed at your place for rehab training, I always felt pretty nervous eating breakfast with you every morning.”

Xiong Yibai looked up. “Why nervous?”

Feng Miwan smiled sheepishly.

“Because your aura was so strong back then. You always had this blank expression, and I was afraid I’d do something wrong or say the wrong thing and accidentally upset you.”

Xiong Yibai gazed at her, her lips curving up. “And now? Do you still feel that way?”

Feng Miwan answered honestly. “A little… but way better than before!”

Xiong Yibai suddenly set down what she was holding and beckoned to her.

“Come here.”

Feng Miwan blinked. “Huh? Where?”

Xiong Yibai patted her own leg. “Here.”

Feng Miwan’s face turned red instantly. She hesitated, but Xiong Yibai beckoned again. Finally, she stood, walked over, and carefully sat sideways on her lap.

Xiong Yibai wrapped an arm around her waist, pulled her closer into her embrace, then tilted her head and kissed her lips.

“Mm…”

Feng Miwan closed her eyes.

Xiong Yibai patiently guided her, their lips and tongues entwining gently.

Feng Miwan gradually relaxed, responding clumsily. Her breaths filled with Xiong Yibai’s pleasant scent, and… the lingering sweet aroma of honey milk from her own mouth.

Xiong Yibai was especially enamored with that sweetness, sucking and savoring it lingeringly, deepening and prolonging the kiss.

Feng Miwan went limp all over, her head dizzy.

Just as both were getting aroused, immersed in each other’s presence—

“Meow~ Meow~ Meow~!”

Little Honeybee’s cries came from their feet, accompanied by the sound of its paws scratching at the chair leg.

The lingering kiss broke off, both breathing slightly ragged.

Feng Miwan looked down at the kitten. “Little Honeybee, what’s wrong? Hungry? Didn’t you just eat?”

But Little Honeybee ignored her, tilting its little head up and meowing at them, then extending a paw to point at Xiong Yibai’s phone on the table.

Sensing something, Xiong Yibai reached for the phone and lit up the screen—

8:10

The bright red numbers jumped out!

Xiong Yibai usually left at 7:50 and arrived at work by 8:30 sharp.

Only twenty minutes left!

And the drive from home to the hospital took twenty minutes even without traffic.

The two snapped out of the romantic atmosphere instantly.

“Hurry! Grab your stuff!”

Feng Miwan slid off her lap, snatched her phone and car keys.

Xiong Yibai threw on her coat, grabbed her bag. Feng Miwan had already opened the door.

They rushed to the underground parking, Feng Miwan jumped into the driver’s seat, Xiong Yibai quickly took shotgun.

The car started, Feng Miwan buckled her seatbelt.

“Wait,”

Xiong Yibai stopped her hand on the gear shift.

“Listen, Little Honey, if we’re late, we’re late. Worst case, a pay deduction. But absolutely, absolutely no speeding, no violations. Safety first, got it?”

Feng Miwan nodded. “Got it!”

She meant it.

The car pulled out of the complex. Feng Miwan focused intently, leveraging her racer’s judgment and control of the road conditions. Without speeding, crossing solid lines, or running reds, she chose the optimal lanes, weaving smoothly and swiftly.

Every lane change was perfect, every curve fluid, pushing the ordinary sedan to its limits.

In the end, what usually took twenty minutes, Feng Miwan did in just ten, dropping Xiong Yibai right at the hospital entrance.

“We’re here!”

Feng Miwan checked the time: 8:25.

She let out a breath, grinning proudly at Xiong Yibai.

Xiong Yibai unbuckled, leaned over for a quick kiss on Feng Miwan’s cheek.

“Great driving. I’ll ride with you again next time. I’m off—drive safe going back.”

With that, she pushed open the door and hurried into the hospital building.

Feng Miwan watched her figure vanish through the doors, then happily started the car and drove away.
