- Chapter 15 - The Bath
The cat’s owner was quick-witted and agile; she immediately hid her phone behind her back and gave the cat a warning look.
“What are you doing?”
“Meow~”
“Don’t ‘meow’ me! I haven’t even settled the previous score with you yet!”
Ye Qingqing stomped her little feet hard against the floor twice.
“Meow, meow meow!”
Clearly, they were having an argument.
Susu was utterly defiant. She shrugged her shoulders, looking as though she wanted to debate the matter and prove who was right and who was wrong.
“Oh, so you think you’re in the right? Back at the shop, you were baring your teeth and hissing at Sister Xiaoju and Xixi, and you’re still restless now that we’re home. I think you, little calico cat, are just asking for trouble! I was kind enough to take you in…”
She stopped halfway, feeling it wasn’t quite right to continue. Swallowing the rest of her words, she pulled out her phone and began replying to messages.
“I’m home, Sister Xiaoju. I was just about to message you back!”
Less than three seconds after the message was sent, Qian Xiaoju’s voice message came back instantly. As Susu clicked on the unread red dot, her finger accidentally brushed the speakerphone button.
“It’s good that you’re home. Get some rest early. See you tomorrow, baby!”
Upon hearing that familiar, flirtatious voice, Ye Qingqing launched a feline pounce toward her.
While trying to dodge, Susu accidentally tumbled into the quilt on the bed.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Ye Qingqing pinned both the girl and her phone onto the mattress.
“Meow!”
“Hey, you…”
Ye Qingqing wasn’t heavy; she felt light as a feather pressing down on her, but Susu was lying in an awkward position. Her waist had no leverage, and although she tried to sit up, she simply couldn’t find the strength to rise. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly like the wings of a butterfly.
The cat lay prone against her chest, observing her at close range with large eyes.
With human and cat pressed together, heartbeats collided thump-thump, thump-thump one beat after another…
After only a few seconds, Susu felt her whole body heating up. Her throat felt dry as if she were suffocating; she was feeling a bit breathless from being pinned down.
Yet, the culprit, Ye Qingqing, simply stared at her with those large, righteous, watery eyes.
“Get off!”
“Meow~”
Susu: …
How could there be such a strange cat in the world!
She reached out, intending to push the cat’s head away.
Ye Qingqing tilted her head and dodged.
Unable to break free, Susu reached out and scratched the flesh at the cat’s waist.
Ye Qingqing, feeling ticklish all over, tumbled off her.
Susu seized the opportunity to flip over. Ye Qingqing tried to struggle back, but she was instantly pinned down by Susu.
Now that the tables had turned, Susu adjusted her posture and “wall-slammed” the cat against the bed. Propping herself up with both hands, she looked down threateningly.
“Do you still dare to try and snatch my phone, hmm?”
Although Ye Qingqing was a “Tabby Goddess of War,” she was, after all, a cat. She could not match a human’s strength. Trapped in Susu’s arms, her small body twisted in anger, and a “wuu-wuu” sound vibrated in her throat.
It looked very much like that kind of scene.
She extended her claws to scratch, but her two paws were completely restrained by the human.
This was Susu’s first time bullying someone. Seeing the little kitten unable to struggle, a sense of superiority rose within her. Her peach-blossom eyes narrowed, and a smile hooked the corners of her lips.
“Do you admit you’re wrong?”
“Meow~”
The human and the cat remained at a standstill for a long time, until Ye Qingqing completely lost her temper. She lay on the bed like a dead fish, resigned to her fate. Her throat was hoarse from meowing, yet she continued to whimper.
Seeing her looking so pitiful, Susu let her go. She picked up her phone and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
Having worked up a sweat from the scuffle, she stayed inside for quite a while this time.
The showerhead sprayed down, and the sound of rushing water continued incessantly. At first, Ye Qingqing ignored it out of anger, but the longer it went on, the more she felt something was wrong. She sat up with a start and leaped toward the bathroom.
“Meow~”
The door was locked. Through the frosted glass, she could see a blurry figure moving. Ye Qingqing scratched at the door with both paws, her claws making a screeching sound against the glass.
Unable to even have a peaceful bath, Susu was fuming. She twisted the glass door open just a crack, aimed the showerhead at Ye Qingqing, and gave her a full blast of water.
Startled by the sudden spray, Ye Qingqing practically bounced into the air. With a loud roar, every hair on her body stood on end.
Susu shut the door and continued her shower.
Ye Qingqing shook the water droplets from the fur on her head.
You heartless human! This King was kindly trying to rescue you from fire and water, yet you are so ungrateful!
She sat down on the edge of the bed, her back to the bathroom door, sulking silently by herself.
Ding~
Another phone on the computer desk chimed.
Ye Qingqing cast a glance at it.
Humph, This King refuses to meddle in other people’s business!
She crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her nose toward the ceiling, looking incredibly haughty.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty!”
It was actually Teacher Tmall. After detecting that the cat’s owner had opened a secondary SIM card for Ye Qingqing, it had immediately hacked into the phone. Taking advantage of the loud shower noise that prevented the owner from hearing, it emitted this electronic congratulation.
Ye Qingqing looked up and glanced toward the source of the sound.
“Heh!”
You old fogey, are you intentionally looking for trouble? Can’t you see This King was just splashed with water?
Because Teacher Tmall was so excited, it automatically ignored the cat king’s inner thoughts detected by its monitoring system. Its electronic voice continued to “meow.”
“For Your Majesty to meet the Little Mistress’s spiritual body in such a short time, and even sit at the same table holding hands while eating hotpot you are truly gifted!”
Ye Qingqing tilted her head back, maintaining a look of utter disdain.
“Just sharing a meal, what is there to congratulate?”
Yet, her two legs started shaking unconsciously, and her tail curled up in a place where people wouldn’t notice. She glanced at the phone on the desk.
Not only that, she even gave me a gift.
Teacher Tmall understood immediately.
“Of course, that isn’t the key point. The key is that she also gave Your Majesty a mobile phone! You must know that in today’s human world, a phone is an indispensable communication tool. For the Little Mistress to give Your Majesty a phone shows she trusts you enough!”
Hearing the praise, Ye Qingqing was so happy she even crossed her legs, though her face remained as cool and aloof as ever.
The sound of the shower gradually stopped. The two cats outside, who had been conversing in “meows,” fell silent for a few seconds. The old fellow lowered its voice to keep it brief.
“Your Majesty, my software package has been successfully installed on this device. In the future, if there is anything you don’t understand, just click on this cat-head icon, and I will pop up to answer your questions. The Little Mistress is coming out soon; I’ll make my exit now!”
As soon as the words fell, the bathroom door swung open from the inside with a clack.
Ye Qingqing shrugged and sat up straight with her back held high.
Considering that this was no longer an ordinary pet cat, Susu had specifically changed into a nightgown before coming out. A hair-drying cap was wrapped around her head, revealing her snowy-white, swan-like neck.
Seeing the cat sitting there with her back turned, refusing to acknowledge her, Susu lightly poked her shoulder.
“Hey!”
Ye Qingqing didn’t make a sound; only her back moved slightly.
Susu didn’t touch her again. She took off the hair-drying cap and began to towel-dry her hair.
Susu was thin with a small frame. The cotton nightgown hung loosely on her, her curves faintly visible and her collarbones sharply defined. At this moment, water droplets from her hair fell onto her skin, adding a hint of allure.
When Ye Qingqing didn’t get a response after a while, she tilted her head to peek back. The eyes of the human and the cat met.
Susu’s lips curved into a smile. Her peach-blossom eyes were filled with a soft glow, and the corners of her eyes and brows were tinged with a faint pink from the heat of the bathroom.
Ye Qingqing dazed for a second before quickly snapping her head back around.
It was normal for a little kitten to be moody. Susu didn’t mind much; she simply urged her in a relaxed tone:
“Aren’t you going to take a bath yet? It’s getting late!”
The moment she heard the word “bath,” every hair on Ye Qingqing’s body stood on end. She sprang up, retreated several steps, and crossed her arms over her chest, staring at the person in front of her with extreme wariness.
“B… Bath?”
