After the Vicious Supporting Female Character Became the Heroine's Cat - Chapter 2

The full set of test results came out, confirming that there was indeed nothing wrong. Shen Yunmiao felt relieved, asked about some precautions, and went to get the medicine.

Cheng Jianian lazily sprawled across the payment counter, watching her.

Two hundred yuan for the check-up, two hundred for the medicine.

Tsk, such cheap medicine, who knows if it’ll have any side effects?

She flicked her tail, not too concerned, but then noticed Shen Yunmiao rummaging through her things, her ears turning red at some point.

No way, Cheng Jianian was dumbfounded. Wasn’t Shen Yunmiao supposed to have been close friends with Ji Hanfeng since high school?

Even if Ji Hanfeng had been cut off by his family and lost contact with Shen Yunmiao, not even giving 400 yuan to someone he liked wasn’t that just too poor?

Damn, if she were the male lead, Shen Yunmiao would surely have all the money she wanted and wouldn’t have to struggle to afford a vet visit for her cat.

While she was still grumbling inwardly, Shen Yunmiao, blushing with embarrassment, handed over several crumpled bills of various colors.

None of them were red.

Cheng Jianian was utterly despairing. Seriously, just 400 yuan? Is the female lead really this pitiful? Looking at it this way, being the villainess had its perks at least she’d never lacked for such a small amount of money in her life.

The doctor seemed to understand Shen Yunmiao’s situation and said sympathetically, “There’s a promotion going on right now. Let me check for you, how about switching to this medicine? It’s 20% off.”

Shen Yunmiao blinked. “What’s the difference between this medicine and the current one?”

“Not much, just that the effects are a bit stronger. But most cats can handle it fine, and there shouldn’t be any side effects.”

Shen Yunmiao immediately waved her hand. “No, it’s really fine. Thank you, sis, but this should be just enough. It’s not worth saving such a small amount.”

Cheng Jianian’s feelings grew even more complicated. This female lead truly lived up to her role her integrity was just that high.

When she first read the plot, she had some reservations about Shen Yunmiao, especially since parts of the story made her seem frustratingly passive and pitiable.

But now, Little Cheng had to admit that some people were just meant to be protagonists.

So kind-hearted, even Jesus would have to take a backseat.

If she could return to her own body, she would definitely repay this female lead.

But alas! Cheng Jianian glanced down at her freshly washed, snow-white fur and fell silent. The chances of her going back were probably slim.

Meanwhile, Shen Yunmiao, who insisted on using the better medicine, picked up Cheng Jianian again. She showed no frustration over the hassle for nothing, her tone only gentle: “Thank goodness you’re okay, my dear. Next time another cat picks a fight, you have to run faster, alright?”

“When I move out and rent my own place, I’ll bring you home with me, okay?”

Cheng Jianian wasn’t moved by this empty promise. Not only did she already know the plotShen Yunmiao was about to face a string of misfortunes and would be too overwhelmed to take care of herself, let alone a cat.

Even if Shen Yunmiao could actually take her home, she’d refuse.

A villainess and a saintly female lead in this kind of relationship? The thought alone was terrifying.

Shen Yunmiao carried Cheng Jianian back to her original spot, fed her and Little White some food, then reluctantly unlocked a shared bike and rode off.

After eating and drinking her fill, Xiao Bai sprawled out beside Cheng Jianian, belly up, and sighed, “She really is a good person.”

Cheng Jianian offered no comment.

Her understanding of Shen Yunmiao was shallow limited to the descriptions in the plot and a few faint impressions from their year as high school classmates.

As for today, she was now a cat. Some people treat cats differently from how they treat humans, so she couldn’t judge Shen Yunmiao’s character based solely on this one day.

“By the way, what’s my name?” Cheng Jianian lazily interrupted Xiao Bai’s rapturous praise.

“Huh?” Xiao Bai froze. “Aren’t you Guaiguai? That’s what she always calls you.”

Guaiguai? Cheng Jianian was speechless. She didn’t know how to explain to a seemingly not-so-bright cat that “Guaiguai” was just an affectionate nickname humans used, not an actual name.

She couldn’t be bothered to explain further. With her prominent family background and dazzling achievements, Young Miss Cheng always carried a hint of superiority. When faced with people or situations she couldn’t communicate with, she wouldn’t waste her words.

What was the point? It would be like playing the lute for a cow.

Even as a cat, this part of her personality was hard to change.

And there was no need to change it. Miss Cheng knew her flaws better than anyone, but so what?

After all, it was always others who had to defer to her; there was never a situation where she needed to humble herself.

Thinking this, perhaps because she had eaten a little too much, drowsiness washed over her. Cheng Jianian curled up on the jacket Shen Yunmiao had taken off earlier to wrap around her.

The jacket still carried the unique scent of a young woman fresh and sweet, like new-fallen snow. Vaguely, she noticed Xiao Bai trying to squeeze onto the already small jacket.

Cheng Jianian immediately grew alert, her blue and yellow heterochromatic eyes darting over with clear wariness.

Xiao Bai pouted, muttered “stingy,” and went off to find another spot.

Satisfied, Cheng Jianian claimed the jacket entirely. It wasn’t that she particularly minded other cats lying on Shen Yunmiao’s clothes she just didn’t like sharing her territory.

Tch, who knows if Shen Yunmiao takes off her clothes for cats every day.

Doesn’t she feel cold?

She stretched lazily on the soft fabric, rubbing against it with slight dissatisfaction.

Hmph, the quality of this jacket is still too poor.

So stiff.

Ah, why is this female lead so poor?

The next morning, Cheng Jianian woke up just as Shen Yunmiao approached her. She shook her body, sending her clean, fluffy white fur flying. The bath from last night had been quite effective otherwise, having to stay dirty like that Young Miss Cheng would never have tolerated it.

Seeing Shen Yunmiao approach with medicine, Cheng Jianian felt an uncharacteristic surge of goodwill. Not bad this innocent, kind-hearted female lead still had some sense of responsibility and hadn’t forgotten about applying the medicine.

She wasn’t a stray cat; she knew what was good for her. Obediently, she lay down and cooperated with Shen Yunmiao’s movements.

Shen Yunmiao, taken aback by her sudden change in attitude, paused for a moment before breaking into a smile. With her naturally cool yet gentle features, the smile added a touch of striking beauty to the corners of her eyes.

Even someone as proud as Cheng Jianian had to admit: Shen Yunmiao truly lived up to being the “Heaven’s Chosen.” She was born to be in the entertainment industry her face was incredibly versatile.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness. The world was inherently unfair. It was one thing that she hadn’t been cast as the protagonist, but why did she have to end up with the role of such a vicious supporting character?

Then came that inexplicable car accident, and I transmigrated into a cat.

Now, I can only survive by relying on others’ kindness.

But who can guarantee that kindness will last forever?

If I can’t change back, perhaps I’ll have to live as a cat for real. A short lifespan is one thing, but being this weak is another. Without Shen Yunmiao, I’d probably have to rummage through trash bins for food.

Cheng Jianian felt the girl’s soft fingertips gently applying medicine on her body, massaging in soothing circles so comfortable that she could hardly resist making strange noises.

It was a cat’s instinct, or rather, the instinct of all animals, to uncontrollably express intense emotions through body language.

But Little Cheng was not truly a cat and could never be one. She gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stay silent.

The next moment, the touch shifted from fingertips to an entire hand, softly covering her head in a gentle stroke.

“Good girl, last night on the street, I met a director who asked if I wanted to act in a film. We’re about to have money soon!”

Shen Yunmiao’s voice was brimming with excitement. “Once we have money, I can rent a place of my own. Then I’ll take you home with me, okay? Our very own home.”

But Cheng Jianian couldn’t share her joy. She knew this plotline: Shen Yunmiao’s striking looks had caught the attention of the internationally renowned director Jian Shen on the street, and she was directly cast as the third female lead in a new project, skyrocketing to fame.

It did earn Shen Yunmiao some money, but unfortunately, under “Cheng Jianian’s” manipulation, no company in the industry dared to sign her afterward, and other directors were strictly forbidden from casting Shen Yunmiao again.

From then on, Shen Yunmiao was quietly buried in the industry.

This plot required Cheng Jianian’s involvement no matter what, but now that Cheng Jianian had become a cat, who would the laws of the world assign to carry out this role?

Cheng Jianian felt lost, uncertain of her own fate, and her spirits sank. The entire cat seemed to wilt.

Shen Yunmiao thought it was the pain from the medicine taking effect and heartbrokenly picked up Cheng Jianian. Her scent was still as crisp and sweet as ever, soothing and comforting.

Miss Cheng wasn’t particularly fond of others getting this close to her. Yesterday had been an exception due to special circumstances, but today she was being held again. Well, this person had saved her after all, so she’d let it slide this time.

Just then, the girl said gently, “Good girl, I’ll always be here for you. Don’t be afraid.”

“Tonight, I’ll go see that big director and ask for an advance. She’s really nice, I’m sure she’ll agree. Once I rent a place, I’ll come back for you, okay?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yunmiao’s phone suddenly rang. She quickly put Cheng Jianian down and hurriedly said goodbye, “Good girl, I have to go to class now. Wait for me, okay? If you meet any bad cats or bad people, run away fast.”

She left in a rush, probably already running late.

Cheng Jianian watched her ride away swiftly on her bike, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Bai came over and said, “She really likes you.”

Little Cheng flicked her tail lazily and replied, “Isn’t she like that with all cats?”

Xiao Bai retorted, “Not at all! She likes you the most. She’s never said she’d take any of us home.”

Cheng Jianian frowned. “Why?”

Xiao Bai: “I don’t know. Maybe because she thinks you’re pretty? It seems like she started feeding the cats in this area because of you.”

Through Xiao Bai’s explanation, Cheng Jianian finally understood that it was because when her current body was being bullied by a group of cats, Shen Yunmiao happened to pass by on her way to a tutoring job and rescued her. That was why Shen Yunmiao started paying attention to these stray kittens.

Initially, Shen Yunmiao probably didn’t intend to do so much good. She just realized that if she didn’t feed all the cats, this little white cat would never get to eat, so she set up multiple feeding spots.

Gradually, many people were inspired by her and also started feeding the cats.

That’s why there are so many stray cats in this area.

Cheng Jianian sighed inwardly, thinking what a twisted fate it was. As the villainess, she had transmigrated into the female lead’s beloved cat, what kind of situation was this? Were sworn enemies meant to be master and pet?

Cheng Jianian shuddered at her own thoughts and quickly shook herself off, deciding to first figure out the landmarks, find her original body, and try to stay close to it to avoid any unexpected incidents.

Xiao Bai, unaware that her good friend had long since passed away, happily followed behind Cheng Jianian, eager to search for food together.

Cheng Jianian didn’t bother shooing her away, and the two cats slowly made their way through the narrow alleys. This area was part of the old town, dilapidated everywhere, with walls stained and peeling, gray tinged with black, and most surfaces plastered with endless small advertisements.

Xiao Bai timidly said, “Let’s not go any further. Up ahead is the dogs’ territory.”

“Look, cats!”

“Why is one so pretty and the other so dirty?”

“Who cares? Didn’t you say you wanted meat? If we catch them, we can eat them!”

Childish voices rose and fell, drifting from a distance.

Cheng Jianian looked up.

They weren’t dogs, they were humans.

But Xiao Bai beside her grew even more frightened.
