The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel's Disguise

"Tomorrow is the board meeting. Will you be joining us?" Wu Dishi inquired Ru while he dropped her off at her apartment complex.

"Nope. Tomorrow, nobody is allowed to disturb me for anything." Ru naturally didn’t tell him that she was gonna attend high school graduation. And Wu Dishi could only raise his brows in question but didn’t have the guts to question any further.

"Then I’ll take my leave now..." He silently got back to the car and drove away.

Ru didn’t go inside the building, instead, she decided to stroll around in the park. While aimlessly walking around, her eyes fell on a familiar figure. Even in the faint light, she could see him clearly. When people get used to their darkness, they often learn to appreciate everything that shines brighter just like HIM.

Without a care for his expensive tailor-made suit, he was perched down on the grass cross-legged with a frail cat snuggled in his lap while he was holding a box of cat food for her in his hand to eat. This scene was quite unusual but somehow she felt it was befitting his personality.

She was about to move closer when she heard his light chuckle and stopped.

"Little kitty, slow down. The food is not running away." He stroked the little kitten’s fur lovingly and added, "You’re just like her. She also puts her fangs out when I touch her food."

’Is he talking to a cat?’ Ru wondered to herself while her conscience retorted, ’You talk to yourself, don’t you think that’s worse?’ Ru grumbled incoherently to herself and wondered, ’But who is he talking about?’

"But I can’t even blame her. She sought solace in food. And it even makes her smile contently." With a saddened expression he went on, "Broken hearts like hers tend to smile a lot even though it’s fake. But broken hearts also loves harder than others. So, you should give me some courage. I want her to seek her solace in me passionately."

"Meow!" The cat miaowed at him with her big green eyes.

Xiao Zhi Ren rubbed her head and let her off his lap saying, "Thanks for your support. If these green eyes are with me, I’m sure to make that ’self-proclaimed genius green-eyes’ mine."

"Meow!" The cat ran behind the bushes after saying her goodbye with that meow.

"Jiayou(Fighting) to you too!" Xiao Zhi Ren waved at her while shaking his head.

"I didn’t know that my sworn brother can understand cats language. How amazing!" Ru’s voice stunned Xiao Zhi Ren.

He slowly turned around to see Ru looking at him with a hint of amusement floating in her green eyes. Xiao Zhi Ren wasn’t worried that she would call him crazy for talking to a cat rather he was worried about how much did she hear.

"Hey, when did you get here?" Xiao Zhi Ren asked feigning his calm demeanor. Inwardly, he was really messed up.

"Long enough to see that even a cat is your supporter. What charms you have, Zhi! And you called me an enchanter. How unfair to the innocent me!" It wasn’t like she didn’t hear what he said, she just didn’t want to bring that up. She wasn’t that muddle-headed to not understand that she was the one who sought solace in food and she was that other green eyes in his life.

Scratching his head, he said, "I still believe, my charms are nowhere near a match for yours."

"Thanks for the compliment!" Ru slightly curtsied making him laugh louder and oddly, she felt like that sound was the only thing missing under this beautiful night sky.

"So, How are you today?" He asked pacing up to her side but after asking this he noticed the way she struggled to keep her lips shut. "Just let it out."

"How do you think your favorite person can be?" Ru really struggled to keep her conceitedness to a minimum but seriously, it didn’t work.

But what she didn’t know was that Xiao Zhi Ren was also well-prepared. "Since I’m trying to pave my way to my favorite person’s heart, she’d be doing the same, right?" Ru was caught by surprise at his blunt flirty remark. He was flirting, right? Of course, she was sure! She had flirted with plenty of girls herself but who knew this guy was dangerous! Tapping her forehead, he added, "I almost forgot, she had already paved her way to my heart. It’s my turn now." With that, he skipped his way ahead leaving her stunned.
