I Am Being Raised by a Cat - Chapter 16

Chapter 16

By the time they emerged from the bathroom, the youth’s eyes were incredibly red. He looked as if he had just endured a long bout of crying.

The man had not let him down from start to finish; he carried him the whole way, turning a corner into the adjacent shower room.

He spread a bath towel over the marble countertop, set the youth down to sit on it, then turned to wash a soft towel to wipe the youth’s inner thighs.

“What are you crying for?” The man coaxed him. “You’re so cute, so beautiful.”

The more Cheng Shang spoke like this, the more heart-wrenchingly the youth cried.

He had never seen such a pervert.

It was bad enough that the man insisted on helping him pull down his pants to use the toilet, but he had kept his burning gaze fixed on him the entire time, even praising him from the side: “Baby is so good, so amazing.”

He’s sick!! What is so “amazing” about using the bathroom!!

Even now, as Cheng Yue prepared to take a shower, the man held him with one arm while using the other to start the water and adjust the temperature.

The youth sniffled and murmured, “Revenge… this is definitely revenge. Are you trying to do back to me every single thing I used to do to you?”

But back then, A-Shang was a little cat! Wiping a kitten’s body and giving it a bath were perfectly natural things.

It was completely different when the roles were reversed!!!

Hearing his words, the man remained expressionless, but his golden beast-like pupils darkened slightly.

His baby was still so naive.

What he wanted to do was much worse, much darker.

The water temperature was adjusted perfectly, and the spray from the showerhead felt comfortable against the skin except for the man’s large hands, which were constantly pressing against various parts of his body.

The youth tried to dodge him, saying countless times, “Get out.”

“Giving you a massage,” the man said blankly.

Cheng Yue didn’t know if it was the heat or something else, but his face was flaming red. He covered his lower body with both hands and looked up at the man, his posture like that of a pitiful puppy.

“Can’t I wash myself?”

“Of course not,” the man’s tone was flat. “Everything involving you must be done by me.”

Cheng Yue was indignant; there was no reasoning with this barbarian!!

The youth was truly too thin; as he hunched his back slightly, his shoulder blades seemed to protrude. The man’s fingers stroked them, tracing their shape.

The temperature in the bathroom was high, and it wasn’t actually cold, but the sensation of the man’s fingers touching his skin made Cheng Yue shudder involuntarily.

Perhaps he was too sensitive, but the two points on his chest stood up tremulously, and the man’s gaze was quickly drawn to them.

Cheng Yue was frightened by his scorching stare. “Don’t…”

He was about to reach out to block his view, but the man moved first.

The man’s gaze was scalding and focused, as if he were seriously conducting a study, and he even reached out to pinch them once.

Cheng Yue’s voice carried a sob. “Cheng Shang!!! I’m not Dai Dai, stop playing with me.”

The man’s calm face finally showed a change. A hint of a smile seemed to color the depths of his eyes as he spoke unhurriedly, “Do you know why I like that Dai Dai doll so much?”

Cheng Yue sniffled, looking bewildered. “Eh?”

Cheng Shang spoke hoarsely, “Have you forgotten? Dai Dai is a custom-made doll you ordered; it was made in your likeness.”

Only when the man said this did Cheng Yue realize Dai Dai was originally a cotton doll he had commissioned of himself. It was very cute when it arrived, but he had only played with it for two days before A-Shang snatched it away.

The youth’s eyelashes fluttered. “What do you mean?”

The man chuckled and didn’t answer further. Having played enough with the “small cherries,” his hand moved downward to the youth’s waist, giving it a light pat. His voice was husky: “Open your legs. This part needs washing, too.”

This time, Cheng Yue truly shed tears. He covered himself and refused to let go. “Don’t wash it. I won’t wash anymore, okay? Just let me out.”

“Be good. Listen to me.”

The man enticed him, even extending his tail toward Cheng Yue. “Good baby, you can play with my tail.”

The golden tail hooked around the youth’s wrist like a flirtation.

Cheng Yue had never imagined the man could be so wicked.

It was as if their roles had completely flipped.

He was more like a pitiful little pet, being handled all over by the man as his entire body was lathered in foam.

The man’s desire for control was extreme; he wouldn’t even allow Cheng Yue to touch himself, permitting him only to obediently hold the tail while the man cleaned every single inch of his body for him.

Cheng Yue wanted to resist, but he knew the man wasn’t in his right mind; speaking would be a waste of breath.

He resolved to get revenge for all of this once Cheng Shang regained his senses!

But how could he get revenge?

Was he supposed to give Cheng Shang a bath too?

When they came out of the bathroom, Cheng Yue had changed into a set of somewhat fluffy pajamas. He was still clutching the man’s tail in his arms, looking more like a cat than Cheng Shang did.

Because he had been whipped by the tail once,Xiao Xiao didn’t dare say much. He could only follow behind, staring at Cheng Yue with his two dot-like eyes.

Cheng Yue lay slumped over the man’s shoulder, looking back at 【Xiao Xiao】 with equal misery.

They were both equally pathetic.

He thought the man’s illness was just a fever, but he didn’t expect this!

Cheng Yue hadn’t eaten much all day.Xiao Xiao went to heat up the food they had brought back and laid it out on the table.

After being pinned in the bathroom by the man to bathe, there was nothing the youth couldn’t accept now.

So what if he was being held in someone’s lap to be fed!!

“Open up. Have some more soup.”

The man held a spoon to Cheng Yue’s lips.

But Cheng Yue turned his head away. “I’m full.”

The man’s hand moved to feel his stomach. “You can have a little more. Good baby, you’re too thin.”

A wave of shame washed over Cheng Yue.

He felt completely controlled by his own cat. Bathing and eating were all handled by the man, and the man even had to personally touch his stomach to confirm if he was full.

Seeing the youth’s eyes turn red again, the man frowned and compromised, putting the spoon back. “If you don’t want to eat, then don’t.”

Cheng Yue couldn’t help but whisper, “When will you get better?”

The man looked down, his golden pupils gazing at the youth. His tone was flat: “Baby, do you not like being with me?”

A life-or-death question!!!

Cheng Yue’s whole body stiffened. He instinctively looked at the man and met those eyes, which were devoid of ripples.

If he said the wrong thing, would it worsen Cheng Shang’s condition?

After a few seconds of hesitation, the youth spoke obediently, “No, I really like being with A-Shang.”

The demi-beast’s pupils grew even darker.

The baby is so cute.

Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. He suddenly felt a surge of thirst and a hollow emptiness in his stomach.

He really wanted to eat the baby.

From head to toe lick him all over first, then eat him bit by bit. Starting from the small cherries, biting them until they were large and swollen, remaining unmoved by the youth’s sobbing, and then swallowing all his tears into his stomach.

This was his master, and also his prey.

He belonged to him, and him alone.

Sensing that the gaze falling upon him was becoming increasingly scorching, the man’s look was completely undisguised Cheng Yue felt as if he were being burned through. He shifted uncomfortably and negotiated in a small voice, “Can you let me go?”

The man answered naturally, “No.”

Cheng Yue bit his lip. “But I’m not a cripple. You don’t need to hold me all the time.”

The man frowned, appearing to think seriously about this problem. Finally, he came up with a solution.

The tail behind him curled around the youth’s wrist. The demi-beast spoke with great mercy, “I’ll hold you on a leash; you can move freely within this range.”

Cheng Yue: “…”

That’s a real insult to the word “freedom.”

Even though the man’s tail in this form was quite long, that was only relative to a leopard. Coiled around the youth’s wrist, the range of movement was only about one step away from the man.

Cheng Yue gritted his teeth in anger.

As if to vent his frustration, he squeezed the tail in his hand tightly. Seeing the man’s expression change as he let out a muffled groan, Cheng Yue couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for him.

In the past, he rarely touched A-Shang’s tail.

Cheng Yue spoke huffily, “Then what if I want to sleep!”

The man immediately said, “I must hold you for that.”

Cheng Yue: “…Forget it, I’m not sleeping.”

To avoid being pinned down and licked again, Cheng Yue didn’t dare go back to the bedroom. He tugged the man’s tail and sat down on the sofa, intending to put on a horror movie.

“Xiao Xiao, do you have any good horror movie recommendations?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man’s tail whipped out and smacked Xiao Xiao on the head, making a clonk-clonk sound.

Cheng Yue was furious. He turned to glare at the man. “What are you doing!!”

The man remained expressionless. “You are not allowed to talk to others.”

Cheng Yue nearly choked on his breath. “Then hit me! Why did you hit Xiao Xiao?”

“He won’t break. I bought the top-tier version back then; it’s shock-resistant.”

“You still can’t bully him like that!” Cheng Yue said stiffly. “Apologize to Xiao Xiao.”

The man looked up slightly, staring coldly at the robot opposite him.

Xiao Xiao scurried to hide next to Cheng Yue, feeling like he was about to be sent back to the factory for dismantling at any second. “It’s okay, Yue Yue. I don’t feel pain.”

“It’s not a matter of whether it hurts!”

Cheng Yue was truly angry. It was like back in the old days when he took A-Shang out to play, and A-Shang had slashed the neighbor’s happy, frolicking puppy, giving it a “scar-face” with one swipe of his claws.

Cheng Yue had to apologize and pay for the damages. When they got home, he lectured A-Shang, telling him he couldn’t be so mean to other small animals. In response, A-Shang just lazily licked his paws and ignored him completely.

Cheng Yue was so angry he didn’t talk to A-Shang for several days, no kisses, no hugs, he wouldn’t even pet him or let him into the bedroom. Within two days, A-Shang couldn’t take it anymore; he ran to the neighbor’s house with a cat treat in his mouth to deliver it.

He even specifically chose the flavor the neighbor’s dog hated most.

Truly a cat with a very bad temper!!

Who knew he would still be like this after turning into a human!!

Cheng Yue spoke fiercely, “Apologize to Xiao Xiao, right now, or I’ll ignore you.”

Anyway, this was the only threat he ever used against A-Shang.

But this trick was usually very effective on the man.

The man locked eyes with Cheng Yue for two seconds before finally giving in. He lowered his eyes, looking lazy and indifferent. “Sorry.”

As he spoke, his tail sneaked up under the youth’s shirt. It was fluffy and very ticklish, and Cheng Yue slapped it away.

The man frowned, then directly grabbed the youth’s wrist and pulled him forcefully into his arms to hold him tight.

“What are you doing! Aren’t we watching a movie? Sit properly.”

“Holding you.” The man added another sentence: “I’m scared.”

In the past, when Cheng Yue watched horror movies, he would wrap himself in a blanket and hold the little leopard-cat; whenever he got to a scary part, he would look down and take a deep “hit” of the cat.

Now, with a horror movie playing in front of him, he was being held in the man’s arms with their chests pressed tightly together, and the tail had even been stuffed into his hand by the man for him to play with like a toy.

But Cheng Yue’s attention wasn’t on the film in front of him at all.

He was sitting uncomfortably, his bottom wiggling around. “What is that? It’s so hard.”
