People Can't Understand Cat Talk

[Deceitful, Unconventional Personality, Operations Captain × Emotionally Detached, Perfect Catlike Experimental Subject]

Yan Tingcheng, famed throughout the organization, has one flaw: he can never find a partner who can work alongside him. Every time he returns from a mission, his temporary partner is either injured or dead.

To protect the few promising agents they have left, his superiors send Yan Tingcheng straight to an overseas training base, declaring that he is not to come back until he finds someone.

A long-haired beauty stands right before them, and the crowd can hardly believe their eyes. Their disbelief only grows when they catch a glimpse of the fluffy cat ears the beauty inadvertently reveals.

It is hard to imagine that this is the person who made a name for himself on a mission by twisting the head off the person he was sent to kidnap! The crowd quietly classifies him as another Yan Tingcheng.

The good news: The new experimental subject is beautiful and powerful!

The bad news: Another catlike Yan Tingcheng has arrived!

When Yan Tingcheng hears about it, he only gives a quiet laugh. No, is that really how other people see his calm, distinctive way of handling things? Is he really that unpopular?

Still, one thing Yan Tingcheng admires about Xu Chen is that he can see what others cannot: Xu Chen hesitates when he strikes. He lacks the decisiveness of the other experimental subjects.

But hesitation or not, Xu Chen still chooses to send his target to their death once he has hesitated. He has a little of a bleeding heart, but not much. He is still new to this.

Strike while he is vulnerable, and finish him off.

Hesitation means there are other tiny emotions, too. Little by little, he becomes different from the other experimental subjects. He has more feelings than they do, and he cannot help letting his tail show, drooping slightly as it curls around his calf. But compared with human emotions, his still fall a little short.

Yan Tingcheng gently strokes Xu Chen's face, smoothing his loose long hair again and again. His fingers weave through the soft strands, while all Xu Chen can hear is Yan Tingcheng's gentle voice.

"Sweetheart, what would you call this now? A heteromorphic experimental subject?" Xu Chen lazily lifts his eyelids and looks at him.

"Do you like it?"

Though he has always been emotionally detached, his eyes now seem to brim with tenderness as he gazes intently at the person before him.

For a moment, Yan Tingcheng feels his throat tighten. The fluffy tail curled around his calf bunches up again and again, and the soft pink ears atop his head twitch.

He takes Yan Tingcheng's hand and guides it to his ear. The fluffy texture presses into Yan Tingcheng's palm, tickling him.

Yan Tingcheng's voice is slightly hoarse as he says, "I like it."
