Chapter 1484: Chapter 575: Making Salty Porridge with Soy Sauce Duck! What’s It Like to Have a Social Cat at Home?

"Oh my god, you’re so picky! I seriously can’t take photos like this, and we’re old friends! When I shot wedding photos for Lin Xu, big internet celebrity, he wasn’t this picky!"

Lin Xu: ????????

Wedding photos for me? Is this Cai Sen?

He was about to ask the aunt beside him when he saw the door in the distance open. Cai Sen, sporting a pink Mohawk hairstyle, came out with a camera in hand and another camera hanging around his neck.

Upon seeing Lin Xu, Cai Sen was taken aback:

"Wow, is my mouth really that prophetic now?"

After saying that, he exclaimed several times:

"Cai Sen is gonna hit it big this year!"

Then he walked confidently towards Lin Xu:

"Boss Lin, what brings you to Deng Yaba’s place?"

Deng Yaba?

Seems quite familiar with Old Deng; ordinary folks wouldn’t dare say so.

He said:

"I dug up a piece of jade back home in the mountains. Planning to make a sculpture of Dundun... This aunt just told me someone was taking photos. Was that you, Boss Cai?"

"Yes, other than me, who else would take Deng Yaba’s jobs... Yaba, come on out and say hello, you sly dog. Took Boss Lin’s job and tried to hide it, scared I’d snatch your business?"

Lin Xu was a bit curious.

This tone, this way of speaking—why does it feel like college roommates talking?

This Old Deng, could he be a young guy?

Just then, he saw a thin man with thick glasses walk out of the room, probably around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Is this Old Deng?

Upon seeing Lin Xu, he smiled slightly, considered acknowledging him.

Cai Sen added:

"My roommate from art school, Deng Lison, comes from a family of jade carvers. His parents work in the repair group of the Imperial Palace antiques. He has been quiet since he was young. Even spending a whole day with me, he wouldn’t say much. Boss Lin, don’t mind him. He’s just like that. As the netizens say, he’s socially anxious, severely socially anxious."

Though he calls him Deng Yaba, Cai Sen made sure to explain this to outsiders because Lin Xu’s presence indicates he’s a valuable client.

For valuable clients, one should naturally be polite.

Lin Xu originally intended to shake hands with Deng Lison, but since he’s socially anxious, it’s better to maintain some social distance and avoid making him nervous.

Actually, Lin Xu used to be somewhat socially anxious too, but after having the system and meeting more people, he unconsciously became more social.

Yet, compared to Dundun, his social skills are somewhat inferior.

The little one was circling the shelves looking at the trophies, and upon seeing Deng Lison, he joyously ran over, cheekily wagging his tail and clipped Deng Lison’s leg.

Faced with Dundun, the originally nervous Deng Lison noticeably relaxed.

He bent down, wanting to pet Dundun’s head but hesitated, looking at Lin Xu:

"Dundun loves having his head scratched and his chin tickled. Master Deng can give it a pet."

Upon hearing this, Deng Lison gently petted Dundun’s head.

Listening to Dundun’s purring, Deng Lison’s mood gradually relaxed too.

Lin Xu said:

"Master Deng, you should consider having a little cat for company. Cats can ease one’s mood and, being neurotic, add a lot of fun."

Upon hearing this, Cai Sen nudged Deng Lison:

"Right, you could have a cat. Your personality is quite like a cat, but since you’re so slim, maybe avoid the British Shorthair. No resemblance there."

"Alright, I’ll have my parents bring me a kitten from the Imperial Palace next time."

Deng Lison finally spoke.

Though speaking, he kept looking at Dundun the whole time. Socially anxious people tend to be more comfortable with animals than humans.

Cai Sen placed his camera on the coffee table, smiling:

"I originally intended to go back and play some games, but since Boss Lin is here, I won’t leave. In case, you know, I could catch a free meal—it’s something money can’t buy."

Lin Xu didn’t hold back:

"Sounds good. Today, Master Deng can observe Dundun in detail, interact with him. I’ll cook for lunch. Just say what you want, and we’ll make it."

It’s like Cai Sen was waiting for this:

He smiled and said:

"Spring just started, how about spring pancakes for lunch today?"

"Springtime, spring pancakes—it’s very traditional, Boss Cai! Alright then, we’ll have spring pancakes for lunch today!"
