Chuzheng asked Shang Qi to hold her phone while she typed out a string of words.
——I’ve lived with you for so long, has anything happened?
Shang Qi thought carefully, it seemed... nothing had really happened.
Chuzheng continued typing.
——Don’t let your imagination run wild.
——Go to sleep.
The Good Person Card just thinks too much, used to be silly and sweet... whatever, being silly and sweet is too exhausting, turning dark is also pretty good.
Shang Qi looked at the little creature in his arms and eventually didn’t say anything more, but asked a crucial question, "Did you take a bath?"
Chuzheng: "!!!"
What cat bathes every day!!
Chuzheng got up to run away, but Shang Qi caught her right back into his arms.
Chuzheng: "..." I refuse!!!
Chuzheng clung to the sofa, refusing to let go of her paws.
"You’ve been running around outside all day, you’re dirty," Shang Qi didn’t dare use force and reasoned with her, "If you don’t bathe, I’m going to sleep in the study tonight."
Chuzheng: "..."
Go ahead and sleep!!
I’m not going!
"Be good, listen."
Shang Qi finally managed to get Chuzheng into the bathroom, helped her take a bath, and dried her long fur. By the time they lay down in bed, it was already early morning.
Chuzheng squeezed next to Shang Qi, her body not allowing her to cuddle up to him, so she reluctantly rested her head on his arm.
"Yue Ban, your fur is really warm," Shang Qi seemed a bit displeased, "Tomorrow, I’ll take you to get your fur cut."
Chuzheng: "..."
Can’t you think of something else about me? Why focus on my fur! What did my fur ever do to you!
I’m not cutting it!
Chuzheng rolled over, curling up to sleep on the other side.
Shang Qi pulled her back, securing her in his arms, "Alright, no fur cuts, sleep tight."
-
The next day, Shang Qi handed the charm to Du Pei, asking him to find out what its function was.
Chuzheng also instructed her underlings to keep a close watch on the cats in the city, but ever since that girl was discovered, no stray cats had disappeared.
Shang Qi was busily preparing for the tour.
The first stop of the tour was this current city, and Shang Qi gave Chuzheng a front row ticket.
However, a cat like Chuzheng couldn’t get in by herself, so Shang Qi had Du Pei accompany her to the venue.
Chuzheng was raised by Shang Qi. This was his personal tour, so even if someone felt it wasn’t appropriate, they couldn’t really say much.
Chuzheng sat proudly in the best seat.
"Little Chubby, you’re amazing," Du Pei gave Chuzheng a thumbs up.
"..."
Try calling me Little Chubby again!
Du Pei tried to chat with Chuzheng, hoping she would interact with him, but unfortunately, Chuzheng remained unmoved and quite disdainful.
Once the performance on stage started, Du Pei also quieted down.
Chuzheng had seen Shang Qi on stage before, but back then it was only for about ten minutes before it ended.
Today, however, was Shang Qi’s special performance.
The spotlight was on the man, making him the most dazzling presence of the night.
This is mine!
Chuzheng flicked her tail, feeling quite proud.
Though no one understood her pride.
During the intermission, Du Pei took Chuzheng backstage. He initially wanted to carry her, but Chuzheng refused, so he had to lead her there.
"This little cat of yours is so picky, not having any taste! Where else can you find such a handsome and wealthy guy like me!"
Du Pei lamented as he walked inside, easily passing through to the backstage with the pass Shang Qi had given him.
As they were about to reach Shang Qi’s resting room, Chuzheng’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a figure, and her heart skipped a bit.
What is that dog He Jin doing here?
Trying to harm my Good Person Card again!
"Little Crescent, what do you... hey, Little Crescent?" The little cat that was beside him moments ago was suddenly gone, leaving Du Pei bewildered.
Who dared to snatch a cat right in front of him!
Shang Qi cares so much about this cat; if he found out, it’ll be terrible!
"Did you see that cat that was with me earlier?" Du Pei quickly grabbed a staff member to ask.
"The white one?"
"Yes."
"It went that way." The staff member pointed in a direction.
Du Pei hurriedly chased after it.
The corridor was very quiet with not many people passing by. Since there was only one path, Du Pei quickly caught up to Chuzheng.
Chuzheng had cornered someone.
The man dressed casually, with a handsome face carrying a gentle, shallow smile, giving off no sense of sharpness.
One might just feel that the young man seemed easygoing and had a good temper.
"Muse, why are you chasing me?" the young man spoke up, his tone light and filled with laughter.
Chuzheng’s eyes half-squinted, staring at He Jin.
He Jin spoke on his own: "Have you finally made up your mind to come back with me?"
"Why should I go back with you? To hit you?"
He Jin: "..."
She has learned bad things out here.
For some reason, thinking about something, He Jin’s smile slightly returned: "Muse seems to like your new master a lot."
When He Jin suddenly mentioned Shang Qi, Chuzheng became alert.
However, He Jin did nothing, as if just having a casual chat: "He is indeed very talented, it’s just a pity about his fate. Soon, that little Mr. Shang might become famous nationwide. Consider it a gift from me, since he has taken care of you for so long, I must show my appreciation."
He Jin found it odd when Chuzheng didn’t react, "Aren’t you worried?"
"I am quite anxious," Chuzheng replied calmly, with no hint of emotion.
He Jin’s smile gradually faded as Chuzheng didn’t respond as he expected; his rehearsed lines were useless.
"Aren’t you going to ask what’s going to happen to him?"
Chuzheng remained indifferent: "You’d be better off worrying about yourself."
He Jin: "..."
Perhaps recalling his last encounter, He Jin finally became cautious.
She cares so much about that Shang Qi, he thought mentioning Shang Qi would make her lose her composure, but instead, she showed no reaction.
Damn it, how is he supposed to respond to that!
With no one around, it was convenient for Chuzheng.
What does it matter if He Jin has some skills? Before Chuzheng, he’s nothing but a paper tiger.
The master is about to teach him a lesson!
Having suffered a loss last time, He Jin, seeing he wasn’t a match for Chuzheng, swiftly chose to leave.
But before he could get far, he was struck on the forehead with a bat, causing everything to go dark as he collapsed to the ground.
Du Pei, emerging while holding the weapon, exaggeratedly pointed at Chuzheng, "What on earth are you, little thing, a monster?!"
He had just seen this young man talking to Chuzheng, and to his astonishment, Chuzheng, with her own moves, subdued the young man completely.
Could a cat’s combat power be that formidable?
Absolutely impossible!
So this was definitely not an ordinary cat!
That’s what he thought, how could someone like Shang Qi just raise a regular cat, but if it’s some kind of monster or something, that’s different!
Chuzheng: "..."
Chuzheng typed a line on her phone.
——Tie him up first, I’m going to check on Shang Qi.
After showing Du Pei, Chuzheng turned and rushed out.
Du Pei: "..."
Wait!
Did I even agree?
How could a law-abiding citizen like me do something like this!
Damn it, where am I supposed to hide this guy?
"The intermission is about to end, hurry up, don’t waste time."
"It’s quicker from this side..."
Suddenly, footsteps approached this direction, and Du Pei grimaced, hastily dragging He Jin to hide in a nearby corner.
