Rebecca pointed to a spot nearby. "Do you see it? That dark little shadow over there- that's Coco." "Coco?" "Yeah, my pet hamster. His nis Coco. I accidentally let him escape from the cage earlier. Coco is so disobedient," Rebecca pouted, her lips forming a soft curve.

studied the woman in front of him-her youthful, radiant face. Despite being 27 years old, she seemed more like a 20-year-old girl, still brimming with innocence.

"Is that so? Then lethelp you catch Coco. How about that?" Mio's voice softened instinctively, though even he couldn't tell if it was out of habit or simply a reaction to Rebecca's presence.

"Really? But Coco is a bit of a troublemaker." "That's okay," he replied, rolling up his sleeves as he knelt to search under the vines.

Startled, the little hamster darted off immediately. Rebecca called out near his ear, "He ran over there!" "Don't worry. I'll catch him," said as he swiftly chased after the hamster.

It didn't take long for him to understand what Rebecca meant by calling Coco mischievous. This wasn't just a little trouble-this hamster was a whirlwind of chaos.

The two of them weaved back and forth through the garden. had intended to show off a little in front of Rebecca, hoping to win her favor by catching the hamster.

But Coco refused to cooperate. The hamster darted from one side to the other. Every tleaped forward, confident that he could grab Coco, the little creature slipped away at the last second.

grew increasingly frustrated. How could something so small be so exasperating? He was determined-he wouldn't let this hamster defeat him.

After what felt like ages, finally managed to catch the tiny troublemaker. Panting heavily, he looked utterly exhausted.

Normally meticulous about his appearance, couldn't tolerate even the slightest flaw in his attire. Yet here he was, covered in dirt from head to toe. His once-pristine shirt was now stained, his hair disheveled, and his hands scratched by thorny branches. He lay flat on the ground, too tired to care about the dirt beneath him. Lifting the hamster high above his head, he announced triumphantly, "Here, I finally caught him." Rebecca crouched beside him and took Coco from his hands. "Thank you." "No problem." wiped the sweat from his forehead. When Rebecca smiled at him with that pure, radiant expression, his mood instantly brightened.

"Coco, you're finally back. No more running away, okay?" Rebecca kissed the hamster gently.

In that moment, thought she looked like an angel, glowing amidst the flowers.

He had met countless women before, treating them as mere playthings. But seeing Rebecca like this, something in his chest stirred unexpectedly. His heartbeat becerratic.

"Ah, your hand is injured!" Rebecca exclaimed, noticing the scratches on the back of Mio's hand, with traces of blood still visible.

"It's nothing, just a small scratch," said dismissively. He wasn't one to fuss over minor injuries.

"How can you say it's nothing? You got hurt catching Coco. Cwith me, and I'll treat it," Rebecca insisted. She held the hamster in one hand and grabbed Mio's wrist with the other, leading him through the garden to her room.

"Wait here. I'll go find sdisinfectant," Rebecca said, tossing Coco back into his cage before rummaging through her drawers and cabinets.

"Where is it? I'm sure I put it here somewhere..." she mumbled to herself as she searched.

From the chaotic state of her drawers, it was clear that Rebecca wasn't the most organized person.

If it were anyone else, might have found it messy. But with her, he found the clumsiness endearing.

"If you can't find it, it's fine. I don't mind," said casually. "This kind of scratch will heal in two or three days." "Just wait a little longer. I'm almost there," Rebecca replied, continuing her quest. Finally, she found the first aid kit.

She plopped down on the carpet without a second thought. "Giveyour hand." obediently extended his hand. Rebecca cleaned the wound, though her inexperience showed. Her hands were heavy, and she applied too much pressure. "Ow..." couldn't help but gasp as the pain shot through him.

"Oh no, I'm sorry! Was that too hard? I've never done this before," Rebecca said, scratching her head apologetically.

"It's fine. It doesn't hurt. Keep going," reassured her gently.
