After Transmigrating As The Female Lead Of A Cruel Novel, I Raised a Big Shot Cat - Chapter 8

Bo Shuhan had moved here just three days ago.

Her life had been perfect during these few days, but the moment a door slammed next door, chaos erupted in her own home.

It wasn’t that her belongings were in disarray rather, a voice one that sounded remarkably like hers yet with a different tone, began echoing incessantly in her mind.

How to describe that voice? It sounded as if she were speaking with a forced, high-pitched “cutesy” affectation.

Furthermore, that voice was constantly fantasizing about Ji Qingyue.

From sleeping together to wanting kisses, a series of bold, scandalous thoughts, it successfully caused Bo Shuhan to lose her cool.

She had no idea why this voice had suddenly manifested in her head, but considering the timing of the door closing next door, Bo Shuhan was certain it had something to do with her neighbor.

As she knocked on the neighbor’s door, she heard her own voice again.

【Why is my Qingyue baby calling my name?】

Bo Shuhan: “???” Wait, a second ago it was “Ji Qingyue,” and now it’s “my Qingyue baby”? Does the owner of this voice have no shame?

But… Ji Qingyue.

Bo Shuhan thought of the girl she had encountered by chance at the airport. Her name was also Ji Qingyue. Could they be the same person?

Acting out of caution, Ji Qingyue checked her phone first. Only after confirming through other camera feeds that Bo Shuhan was alone did she open the door.

“Hello.”

Ji Qingyue could swear she had absolutely no ulterior motives toward Bo Shuhan. Her current nervousness was entirely due to the sudden appearance of the woman who was essentially her savior.

She stood there stiffly, and Bo Shuhan, who had knocked quite abruptly, also felt a bit lost.

Because of her unique status, Bo Shuhan had met many people since childhood the arrogant, the haughty, the humble, and the treacherous. Every single one of them approached her with a hidden agenda. Bo Shuhan always felt that their eyes looked past her, focusing instead on the vast wealth behind her.

That veiled greed was revolting.

But the Ji Qingyue before her, aside from a bit of awkwardness, had eyes that were clear and devoid of any motive. She was looking directly at her, the person.

For a moment, Bo Shuhan didn’t know how to start the conversation.

Then: 【Holy crap! It really is me! A living, breathing version of myself from two years ago!】

Bo Shuhan: “…”

She looked down and saw a small kitten with emerald green eyes. The kitten’s eyes were currently filled with a sense of wonder.

Bo Shuhan: “…” Great. It seems I might have developed paranoia or delusions. Instead of visiting the neighbor, I should probably head to the hospital.

Seeing the atmosphere turn awkward, Ji Qingyue hurriedly greeted her. “Hello, my name is Ji Qingyue. Thank you again for helping me at the airport last time.”

Looking at the outstretched hand, Bo Shuhan gave a polite shake and introduced herself: “Bo Shuhan. Don’t worry about last time, anyone else would have helped you.”

Although Bo Shuhan was a woman, she stood 188cm tall, while Ji Qingyue was 172cm. Standing before Bo Shuhan, Ji Qingyue looked quite petite.

As they shook hands politely, Bo Shuhan’s fingers were long and well-defined, while Ji Qingyue’s were fair, slender, and soft.

It was meant to be a perfectly polite greeting, but Bo Shuhan heard:

【Even if she is me, how much longer is she going to hold my baby’s hand?!】

【My baby’s hands are so delicate, and my hands are so rough. What if she hurts my baby’s hand!】

【Ugh, I suddenly remember when baby was petting me a while ago… it felt so good~】

Bo Shuhan: “!!!”

Her dark green eyes widened suddenly. She glanced at the kitten sitting there, watching them expectantly, and fell into deep thought.

Was she a closet pervert, or was she truly suffering from schizophrenia?

Bo Shuhan knew she wasn’t a “good” person, but she wasn’t so depraved as to have such foul thoughts about a girl she had just met.

Her cold expression began to crack, and Ji Qingyue felt equally flustered.

Following Bo Shuhan’s gaze, Ji Qingyue noticed she was staring intently at her “Big Boss” (the cat).

Ji Qingyue quickly picked up the cat and held it in her arms, saying, “Miss Bo, did you come over because of the kitty? She’s very well-behaved and usually doesn’t meow randomly.”

As if to respond to Ji Qingyue, the “Big Boss” let out a “meow.” It wasn’t a cutesy one this time, it sounded rough and somewhat dismissive.

At this moment, Ji Qingyue wasn’t cradling the cat in a ball as usual. Instead, she picked the cat up by its front paws, holding only the upper body like a long plush doll. This left the cat’s belly completely exposed to Bo Shuhan.

Perhaps because the voice in her head was too brainwashing, Bo Shuhan’s gaze actually drifted downward to confirm the cat’s gender.

Yep, a female cat.

Wait, what?!!!

Bo Shuhan felt she was truly losing her mind. Just then, the “Big Boss” delivered a final blow.

【Is the me from two years ago really this perverted? She’s actually staring at a cat’s xx! As expected, after being single for so long, she’s turned into a creep!】

Bo Shuhan had never felt so exhausted. Not even a gunfight abroad had left her this mentally drained.

“Your cat is very… cute,” Bo Shuhan squeezed out. The atmosphere froze again.

No matter how much Ji Qingyue wanted to smooth things over, she was so embarrassed she wanted to dig a hole with her toes. She knew exactly what her cat looked like right now.

Was Bo Shuhan’s taste problematic, or was she just out of touch with modern aesthetics?

“Ah, haha, is that so? Would you like to come in for some water?” Ji Qingyue stepped aside.

Bo Shuhan quickly shook her head. “No, I have other things to attend to. I’ve lived here for three days and hadn’t visited the neighbor yet, so I thought I’d stop by.”

Ji Qingyue let out an “ah.” So Bo Shuhan was the type who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside? She actually cared about neighborly etiquette.

Thinking this, the awkwardness melted away a bit. Ji Qingyue smiled, her eyes crinkling.

“Yes, as the old Chinese saying goes, ‘a near neighbor is better than a distant relative.’ I haven’t prepared anything today, but if you don’t mind, Miss Bo, would you like to come over for lunch or dinner tomorrow?”

Bo Shuhan was about to refuse. She had only come over because of the noise in her head, and now she suspected she was mentally ill.

A mentally ill person shouldn’t be socializing with normal people, what if she accidentally hurt someone?

Just as Bo Shuhan was about to decline, the “Big Boss” licked its paw and glanced at her sideways.

【As expected, the me from two years ago is a loser. Doesn’t even dare to agree to a dinner invite from a young girl.】

Bo Shuhan felt a surge of irritation.

Even if she suspected she had schizophrenia, being insulted by her own hallucination was too much.

“Fine. Let’s make it tomorrow evening.”

The moment she said it, she regretted it. But seeing Ji Qingyue’s sparkling eyes, she couldn’t find a reason to take it back.

She could only end the visit with a stiff, cold face.

Once the door closed, Ji Qingyue held the cat up to her face and whispered, “As expected of a big shot, her aura is so strong.”

The cat “Big Boss” thought: Pffft, just a little brat from two years ago. If I were in my human form right now, my aura would be 100 times stronger than hers! (Cat jealousy.jpg)

Bo Shuhan, who had just finished booking an appointment with a psychiatrist: “…”

“Immature.”
