After Letting Go, I Ended Up Happily Ever After With My White Moonlight - Chapter 4

Qi Yin’s efficiency was very high; the finished poster was sent over to Jiang Yu the very next day.

Although Qi Yin claimed to be an amateur in words, to Jiang Yu, this looked no different from the work of a professional.

It was quite good-looking.

To fit the theme of pets, Qi Yin had specially made a cute style. At the very bottom, she printed two pinkish-tender paws, which really did not match her icy personality. If the graphic hadn’t genuinely come from her, Jiang Yu would never have believed that Qi Yin had made it.

If Qi Yin were a professional art designer, then calculated according to standard rates, letting herself help look after the dog a bit more really wouldn’t mean Qi Yin profited from it.

Not to mention that she had even given money.

Jiang Yu raised her phone, stared at the poster for a moment, let out an exclamation of admiration, and turned around to save the image and post it to her Moments, incidentally replying with a thank-you.

Jiang Yu lay on the bed fiddling with her phone, thought for a moment, and sent the image to Cheng Yao as well.

Succulent Stewed Chicken: What are you doing?

Aaa: Posting to Moments.

Succulent Stewed Chicken: What are you doing?

Aaa: …… Just post it if I tell you to.

After two seconds, a protective animal promotion page appeared on Cheng Yao’s WeChat.

Succulent Stewed Chicken: What are you doing? Did you suddenly find your conscience?

Aaa: I have always been very kind-hearted, okay? Thanks.

The kind-hearted Jiang Yu vanished without a trace after replying to this message.

Actually, her original intention was to print them into flyers and distribute them on the street, but on second thought, not to mention that her location was remote, who would go out frequently in the dead of winter?

Not only would it cost a lot of money, but the return would also be small.

What’s more, in today’s internet era, paper things handed to people might just be thrown away immediately, so what kind of publicity would she even be talking about?

Combining these two points, Jiang Yu ultimately spent money to find some bloggers with a bit of traffic to run an advertisement.

Positive energy content was naturally beneficial for accumulating popularity, and very few of the ones she found refused.

Over the past few days, the response had actually been quite good.

Jiang Yu also knew when that ghost-like system would appear.

When reporting progress.

The only shortcoming was that her progress bar got stuck at 30% and refused to move. Jiang Yu waited for several days and found a few more people, but it still didn’t budge at all. She guessed that the progress brought by blogger promotion could only go this far.

Jiang Yu couldn’t think of a better way for the moment, and since she didn’t want to waste the cute poster Qi Yin made, she decided to wait until winter passed before trying to print it into paper form, just in case it might be of a little use.

She was thinking of taking a good rest over the next few days, but things did not go as wishes; even if she didn’t look for trouble, trouble would always find her.

The next day, when she carried her bag into the shop and looked at Xueqiu, who should have left two weeks ago, she frowned slightly.

“Why are you still here?” she asked, looking at Xueqiu.

“I said I couldn’t leave,” Xueqiu replied calmly, letting out a yawn.

She stared at Xueqiu for two seconds, figured something out, and her brows locked even tighter.

Jiang Yu placed her bag on the counter and turned to look for Cheng Yao in the inner room.

“What’s going on with that Ragdoll cat in the shop? It’s been two weeks and hasn’t been picked up yet?”

Hearing the voice, Cheng Yao raised her head: “Ah, I say you came just in time. You’re talking about Xueqiu, right? I just called her owner.”

“What did they say?”

“What did they say?” Cheng Yao let out a laugh. “They didn’t answer at all, what’s the point of talking.”

It wasn’t that there weren’t cats in her shop that hadn’t been picked up upon expiration, but those were cases where the owners had explained in advance. What kind of behavior was directly going out of contact?

This allowed Jiang Yu to figure out what was behind Xueqiu’s ridiculous questions a few days ago and her verbal attacks on other animals.

She tossed her phone to Cheng Yao: “Use my number to call again. If it doesn’t get through, send a text message.”

Jiang Yu turned back to Xueqiu and squatted down: “Tell me, what is going on with you?”

Xueqiu glanced at her and curled up her legs: “Isn’t it just what you see?”

“Seriously speaking, you’ve been lingering at my place for several days, and your owner hasn’t paid a single cent for your expenses. Do you believe I’ll throw you out right now?” Jiang Yu was amused by Xueqiu’s words and smiled.

These words actually managed to threaten Xueqiu, seeing as Jiang Yu had intentions of throwing it out not long ago.

It didn’t want to be a stray cat yet.

“My owner doesn’t want me,” Xueqiu said in a low voice.

“What are you mumbling about? Speak clearly.”

“Anyway, the meaning is that this isn’t the first time, you know?”

Jiang Yu’s brows were tightly locked; she didn’t want to drag this out with it here: “I don’t know, explain it clearly to me.”

Seeing that Jiang Yu looked like she was about to take action, it hurriedly let out a cry.

“Hold on! I’ll talk, I’ll talk,” Xueqiu said, shrinking its neck. “It’s just that my owner’s girlfriend doesn’t like cats, so he throws me into boarding places everywhere. He stores me for a few weeks, and when the time is up, he plays dead and goes out of contact.”

“What kind of nonsense is that.” Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow. “How did the previous pet shops solve it?”

“Well, they bombed him with unfamiliar numbers, and then when he had no other choice, he picked me up.”

Jiang Yu nodded: “If you get picked up, you’ll just get thrown off to other places, right?”

Xueqiu didn’t quite like her phrasing. What did it mean to be thrown off? It sounded like an object, but having no other way, she could only give an affirmative hum.

Seeing her nod, an idea suddenly popped into Jiang Yu’s head. Although she really didn’t want to raise this chatterbox of a Ragdoll cat, but… would this count as rescuing an animal?

Just as she wanted to say something, Cheng Yao walked out from the inner room and looked a bit bewildered as she saw her nodding at a cat.

“I called, no use, still not answering. I sent him a text message.” Cheng Yao scratched her head, remembering something. “Don’t take your anger out on a cat.”

Jiang Yu hissed, snatched back her phone, and opened the text message editor: “What are you thinking? I’m not that kind of person.”

Combining Jiang Yu’s move to throw Xueqiu out a couple of days ago, Cheng Yao thought this statement had very low credibility.

She lowered her head and looked at the text message Jiang Yu was editing, and was even more startled.

“Do you still want this cat or not? If you don’t want it, I’ll raise it.”

The other side replied quite quickly this time, popping up with a swish.

“Don’t want it.”

“My goodness, what kind of weird thing is this?” Cheng Yao covered her mouth, not knowing which matter to be surprised by, and looked at Jiang Yu with a bizarre gaze. “Xiaoyu, don’t tell me you’ve been triggered by something.”

Triggered?

Indeed triggered; whoever went through so many broken things would be triggered.

“I said it, I’ve always been very kind.” She put away her phone. “Sorry for the trouble, hand me a transfer contract to send to its owner.”

“Am I a black slave!” Cheng Yao’s astonishment vanished instantly, and she roared.

Jiang Yu shrugged, glanced at the equally bewildered Xueqiu in the cage, and gave a wink: “Alright, you belong to me from now on.”

Host task progress 35%

The system’s message came at the exact same time Jiang Yu turned around. She turned her head and licked her lips.

It really worked.

Just raising a cat… it’s not a loss.

Except when dealing with matters concerning Qi Yin, Jiang Yu particularly hated trouble, but if trouble could be exchanged for benefits, it didn’t feel bad either.

That same night, Jiang Yu brought two bottles of clear liquor to the shop.

Seeing the clear liquor in Jiang Yu’s hands, Cheng Yao froze for two seconds. Coupled with the fact that she had been feeling apprehensive these past few days, she waved her hands: “What’s wrong with you? Is something on your mind? But drinking clear liquor, I’m not keeping you company. I’ll just drink beer.”

“I’m happy.” Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes.

Cheng Yao: “………”

She couldn’t persuade Jiang Yu, so she simply stopped talking; this person had been truly abnormal lately.

Ever since the dog Jiang Yu previously raised died, she hadn’t kept living creatures herself. Now it was fine, she had even gone and gotten a cat.

That night, Jiang Yu got heavily drunk. Once she got high, she stood on a stool and sang with a liquor bottle in hand.

Cheng Yao was speechless for a moment and reached out to grab her.

She couldn’t touch her at all.

Jiang Yu when drunk was just like a monkey, her agility maxed out.

Cheng Yao was driven frantic trying to catch her, and only after Jiang Yu finally quieted down did she pour herself a cup of plain water to drink.

She let out a heavy breath and pointed at Jiang Yu: “I know you drink beer, but blowing two bottles of clear liquor straight from the bottle is way too wild! How the hell are you going to get home!”

Sure enough, Cheng Yao reconfirmed one thing: drinking requires caution.

She wiped away her sweat, looked at Jiang Yu sprawled on the sofa, and turned back to clean up the table.

Just as she turned around, she heard Jiang Yu’s breathy murmurs.

Jiang Yu’s head rested over the edge of the sofa, her hair dangling down, as she spoke to her phone: “I… hate you, don’t want, to like you anymore!”

Cheng Yao froze for an instant, her pupils undergoing an earthquake.

Oh my sweet goodness.

There was only one person who could make Jiang Yu say this, and Jiang Yu had just pressed her phone, oh god, she wouldn’t have sent a voice message, right…

Stiffly, she turned around and scrambled to snatch Jiang Yu’s phone: “I’ll recall it for you!” But Jiang Yu was throwing her hands and legs at her, and Cheng Yao couldn’t reach the phone at all. “I’m telling you, if you don’t give it to me, you’ll regret it! Really, you’re going to die!”

After Cheng Yao finally managed to snatch the phone over, she hurriedly took a look.

It really was Qi Yin.

She immediately pressed and held, preparing to recall.

But it was already too late.

Cheng Yao looked at the phone, then looked at Jiang Yu, and finally said a heroic and tragic line: “Xiaoyu, have a safe journey.”

Jiang Yu was dizzy from drinking, couldn’t understand Cheng Yao’s meaning, blinked her eyes, and took the phone back.

She fumbled around, wanting to continue sending voice messages, but was pinned down by Cheng Yao, who had seen through her actions.

“My darling, stop making trouble.”

The very second she pressed Jiang Yu down, Jiang Yu’s phone ringtone rang out.

Cheng Yao took a glance.

This is fatal.

Looking at Jiang Yu, who was too groggy to even answer the call properly, she snatched the phone away.

After doing some mental preparation, she finally answered Qi Yin’s call.

“Where are you?” Qi Yin’s clear voice came through the phone, carrying a hint of anxiety.

Cheng Yao gripped the phone, looked at the clueless Jiang Yu, and cursed her ten thousand times.

She answered just before Qi Yin could say a second sentence: “Hello.”

The other end paused for two seconds, and when she spoke again, Cheng Yao could detect some dissatisfaction: “Who are you?”

Honestly, Cheng Yao felt a bit awkward.

Who was she?

She was Jiang Yu’s big daddy!

“Ah, my name is Cheng Yao, I’m Jiang Yu’s friend. Um, she’s a bit drunk, sent some random messages, just talking nonsense, don’t mind it.” Cheng Yao awkwardly explained to Qi Yin.

As soon as she finished this sentence, Qi Yin’s side went quiet again. There was no sound for a long while, and just when Cheng Yao thought Qi Yin had hung up, she heard another sentence.

“Where are you guys now?”
