You're My Only Star

Chapter 128 - Damaged Jacket

Mr. Fluffball was convinced that his master has gone stupid. After his master had returned home, Mr. Fluffball noticed that she has been staring into space with that foolish smile on her face.

No one knew what she was thinking about.

However, this situation does not make the cat happy. Especially since someone seemed to forget that he was only a cat and did not know how to tore open a packet of wet food. 

Mr. Fluffball glanced at the packet of wet food in his bowl and then back to his master. "Meow!"

Seeing that he was still ignored, Mr. Fluffball narrowed his eyes before he pounced on his master's body.

The cat's sudden movement startled her. Mr. Fluffball's weight caused her to fell backward. When Song Xing Xing looked up again, her cat was crouching on her chest while looking at her.

Song Xing Xing found it hard to breathe while the cat was sitting on her chest. She thought that this sensation was a little familiar.

"Meow."

She snapped out of her trance and pushed the cat off her body. "Mr. Fluffball, you're too heavy."

"Meow." The cat obviously disagreed with her thoughts. Using his paw, Mr. Fluffball pulled his bowl towards his master.

It was at this time that Song Xing Xing realized why the cat was upset. Song Xing Xing tore the packet open and pour the food into the bowl. Mr. Fluffball ate his food while complaining about his master's absentminded state.

The phone on the table chimed. Song Xing Xing clicked on the new message and saw that Lu Xun's text, telling her that he had arrived home. Suddenly, the kiss on the cheek scene reappeared in her mind, making her face turned bright red.

It was merely a kiss on his cheek, but this was also the first time she had kissed a guy who is not a member of her family. Her heartbeat accelerated. It made her a little frightened and excited at the same time. Song Xing Xing did not understand this feeling and she did not know what she should do.

If it continued to be like this, she did not know how she would dare to face him.

While she was still engrossed in her thoughts, Mr. Fluffball had finished licking his bowl clean. Song Xing Xing turned to her cat and saw that the gray cat was curled in Lu Xun's jacket.

From the look at it, it seemed that the cat was ready to take his nap on this coat.

She stood up quickly and pulled the coat away, causing the cat to meow angrily. Song Xing Xing ignored the cat and stared at the cat full of fur. As she made a mental reminder to sent this coat to dry cleaning, Song Xing Xing texted Lu Xun and told him that he did not need to pick her up as she had somewhere she needed to be.

Lu Xun did not say a thing as he had thought that the girl needed to adjust her emotion after that kiss on the cheek.

On the next day, Song Xing Xing brought Lu Xun's coat to the laundry shop near her apartment. Once the staff took out the coat from the paper bag and inspected the garment speechlessly.

Sensing that there was something wrong with the staff's expression, Song Xing Xing was suddenly anxious. "You… can't clean the fur from the coat?"

"That's not it." The staff flashed an amiable smile."Of course, we can clean this coat. Miss, when you pick up the coat again, I promise that it will be free from fur." He looked at the coat again and sighed in his heart.

The rich people are amazing. They could even let their cat play to play around with the branded coat until it was full of fur. 

The staff continued to scan at the coat as his friend helped to write a receipt. His movement halted the moment he saw something on the coat. The man inspected the coat closer before he called Song Xing Xing again. "Miss."

"What's wrong?"

The staff pointed his finger at a spot on the coat. "Miss, you look at this first. Let's be clear that this tore is already here. You can't come to us and blame us later for this, alright?"

Song Xing Xing inched closer and saw the tore on the jacket as well as the scratching and biting that Mr. Fluffball has made.

The corner of her lips twitched. Song Xing Xing had thought that the cat had only napped on this coat a few times. She had not realized that the cat would bite and scratch at his coat as well.

Did Mr. Fluffball like Lu Xun that much? Or was he treating his coat as his rug?

It seemed that even if the coat was cleaned, she still cannot return the coat to Lu Xun in this state... This jacket is already damaged.

What should she do?

Song Xing Xing quickly agreed to let the shop clean the coat and agreed that she would not let the laundry shop be responsible for the coat. After signing the form, Song Xing Xing took the bus and headed to the studio.

When she entered the office, Liu Yu Sheng had already arrived at the office. 

"Xing Xing, you're a little late today," Liu Yu Sheng spoke. 

In the past few days, Lu Xun had picked her up from her apartment and send her to the office. Because she was trying to avoid her colleagues from seeing her and Lu Xun together, Song Xing Xing had always reached the office earlier.

"I had to drop off some clothes at the laundry shop," Song Xing Xing said.

Liu Yu Sheng stood up and tugged at her friend's arms. "Xing Xing, have you heard the rumor on Huo Yun Chen yesterday?" 

Song Xing Xing stared at her friend and did not answer.

"We were busy with transferring the file yesterday and did not see the rumor when it broke out. However, someone from the Fanclub told me that someone  was slandering him." Liu Yu Sheng's anger rose as she recalled everything that her friend had told her. "Partying with a group of underage girls! Can you believe that?"

"I didn't see the report."

"Un. My idol would not do something like that. We have followed him for years and knew that he's not that kind of person. Fortunately, the agency was quick to block off this news. I only saw the statement that the agency had posted online," Liu Yu Sheng said. "Xing Xing, you and Huo Yun Chen are close. Did you know anything about him? Is he doing alright?"

"I don't know."

Last night, she had planned to text Huo Yun Chen and asked about his well-being. Afterward, her mind was preoccupied with something else and she naturally forgot.

As Liu Yu Sheng walked away, Song Xing Xing took out her phone and wondered if she should text him. After a brief hesitation, she finally sent out her text.

His reply came soon after. 

"I'm fine. Don't worry.. It will be over soon."
