As expected, when Ke Xing came back from his walk, Chen Yin woke up and came downstairs, and Du Xixi led Miao Miao, now dressed in a specially made long dress that exposed her cat ears and long tail, downstairs, both Ke Xing's and Chen Yin's reactions were just as Du Xixi anticipated.
Chen Yin seemed not fully awake, his eyes carried a hint of confusion, but overall his mental state had improved a lot. He was casually holding a large fur ball obtained from the Iron-eating Beast, lazily reclining on the sofa.
His keen ears caught the sound of Du Xixi bringing Miao Miao down the stairs, and he glanced over with a slanted look, intending to greet his sister warmly. However, he was caught off guard by the cat ears on Miao Miao's head and the swaying long tail behind her, and his gaze froze momentarily.
Images from a few months ago flashed in his mind, when Rob returned from Du Xixi's side and reported something about Miao Miao's oddities. Chen Yin had just casually smiled it off then.
