Susu reached out, twiddled a stray lock of hair on the other’s forehead, and followed her lead in the conversation.
“Then, King of Poop, what kind of secret do you want Big Sister to exchange with you?”
She was truly curious about what this adorable little kitten wanted to ask her.
Ye Qingqing’s cat-like pupils sparkled brilliantly, and she warned repeatedly.
“It is a deal. Whatever this King asks you, you must answer. You are not allowed to play tricks!”
A sweet smile spread across the corners of Susu’s mouth, her small dimples rippling within it. She nodded and gave a soft “okay.”
“Big Sister will follow the King of Poop’s wishes! Ask away!”
Ye Qingqing straightened her body and pursed her lips, looking extremely serious.
“This King asks you: those humans who were speaking to you just now, who are they? Are they treating you badly?”
The smile froze on Susu’s cheeks. She had not expected that the other would ask her such a question.
Ye Qingqing’s cat-like eyes looked straight into her eyes.
“You must tell this King honestly; no hiding allowed!”
Susu’s gaze darkened.
Who were they? They were her relatives, the mother who gave birth to her but did not raise her, and the half-foster mother who had been with her day and night when she lived under someone else’s roof as a child.
She was like an object, traded back and forth by others from the moment she was born. It had not been easy growing up in such a sordid environment, yet because of her beautiful physical appearance, she was constantly being eyed by every aunt and relative. They hoped she would marry into a good family soon to seek benefits for themselves and the relatives around them.
A few days ago, her biological mother called to tell her that abandoning her back then was actually out of helplessness and that she regretted it deeply. She hoped for forgiveness, for Susu to live in harmony with her sisters in the family, and for her to help promote her younger brother.
Her aunt that half kind mother who usually never interacted with the biological mother until death, had actually jumped out at this time to offer kind advice. She said that no matter what, the elders did it all for their children. Between the lines, everyone hoped Susu would marry early so she could have a family of her own.
Heh! Marrying early to have a family of her own?
It was nothing more than being interested in those several hundred thousand in dowry money. Everyone knew that her uncle had been playing the stock market these past few years and was up to his neck in debt. Time and again, he squeezed money out of her. Now, they even found it troublesome to open their mouths to make up excuses to borrow money; they might as well just sell her. The payment would arrive all at once, avoiding any future depreciation…
She saw through all of this clearly. If the elders wanted to play at being “kind mothers and filial children” with her, then she would accompany them all the way to the end. In any case, she had lived a wretched life since childhood, and she didn’t care if her heart was stabbed a few more times.
Her resistance had always been a silent acceptance, praying for that final straw that breaks the camel’s back to fall sooner.
Watching her dull and lusterless pupils, Ye Qingqing felt as if a large stone had been pressed against her own chest, making it so heavy she could not breathe.
She gently pushed Susu’s shoulder and insisted repeatedly.
“You must tell this King. This King will certainly seek justice for you!”
Seeking justice her kitty said she wanted to seek justice for her. But when has there ever been justice in this world of mortals?
Her life was already like this. She certainly would not mention those sordid memories of the past in front of her. Her little treasure was so cute and so pure and innocent. At this moment, she only wished she could spend more time with her, and that would be enough.
Susu pulled back the frozen smile on her cheeks, stroked the cat’s head, and coaxed her kindly.
“This secret takes too long for Big Sister to talk about. Let’s change to another one, shall we?”
How could Ye Qingqing not understand that she was being evasive? However, being clever, she already knew everything and thus stopped pressing for answers.
She lifted her chin and gave a light huff.
“Then this King shall ask you again: that human named Qian Xiaoju, what exactly is your relationship? Why is she always seducing you? This King is very displeased watching it!”
Susu was amused by her.
Similarly, she hadn’t expected the other would ask her such a strange question next.
What was her relationship with Sister Xiaoju? What relationship could they possibly have? They were nothing more than colleagues who were a bit familiar they couldn’t even be considered very good friends. Where did this talk of “seduction” come from? Besides, two girls playing together how could that count as seduction?
Everyone says cats love to be jealous. She really didn’t know what kind of messy things were packed inside this little creature’s head all day.
Ye Qingqing gave her another gentle push on the shoulder. The beauty mark between her brows twisted into a small heart shape, and she questioned with a cold face.
“No laughing! Quickly give this King a full account!”
Susu was truly a bit helpless.
She lightly touched the other’s nose with her index finger.
“What relationship could I have with Sister Xiaoju? We are just ordinary colleagues. Usually, we go to and from work together, set up dinner dates, and things like that. There is no other relationship!”
Ye Qingqing suddenly pounced up, her neck stiffening as she argued with her.
“No other relationship? If there is no other relationship, why does she call you ‘Baby’?! She already calls you ‘Baby’ is that not seduction?!”
Susu was caught between laughter and tears by her. She reached out both hands, cupped the small face, and gently squeezed it toward the center.
“You jealous kitty, Big Sister really needs to teach you some human knowledge. Between two girls, that is not called seduction. Between a girl and a boy that is called seduction. Do you understand?”
Ye Qingqing pulled her human face, which had been squeezed out of shape, from Susu’s palms and shook it frantically several times. She knitted her brows, thought seriously for a moment, then raised her eyes again to meet the other’s gaze.
“Then that ‘pretty boy’ who was dining with you just now he was the one seducing you, then?”
Susu: “…”
Her little kitten… how could she be this cute!
Susu really couldn’t help it; she reached out again and rubbed that head of jet-black long hair.
“No, he is just a blind date introduced by the elders. When we humans reach a certain age, we all have to get married. Between Big Sister and him, it doesn’t count as seduction; you could only say we can talk to each other relatively well.”
Ye Qingqing gave a cold snort and argued with her angrily.
“Then he even gave you a cat paw, and you accepted it so calmly!”
At the mention of that cat paw, Susu felt so embarrassed her toes curled, but she still couldn’t bear to bully this jealous cat, so she explained it to her word by word.
“That is a cat-paw mug, you dummy! Besides, weren’t the gifts he sent all swiped to the floor and shattered by our King of Poop?”
Ye Qingqing did not agree. She spread her palm in front of Susu, and with a “swoosh,” a furry pink plum-blossom meat pad appeared.
“You don’t need to envy his gift. If you behave well, this King has one too. This King will chop it off and give it to you to play with!”
It was clearly a very mindless sentence from a silly cat, yet Susu’s heart was suddenly warmed once again.
Susu held the paw and pressed it against her lips for a kiss, her voice containing a slight tremor.
“Big Sister does not envy his gift. Big Sister only wants the King of Poop to stay obediently by Big Sister’s side, and that will be enough!”
Hearing such words, the hair all over Ye Qingqing’s body smoothed down. With a “swoosh,” the paw turned back into a small human hand. The fair and slender fingers, held like this, were like beautiful jade so lovely that one could not bear to look away.
She withdrew her small hand, leaned her black head over, and rubbed it gently against Susu’s chest. She pressed her face against the soft spot and rubbed hard, her mouth constantly humming the angry words she had been holding back for a very, very long time.
“This King is just displeased looking at them. You are this King’s. From now on, this King does not allow you to be intimate with any other humans! Especially that Qian Xiaoju she is a fox spirit, very flirtatious. This King will not allow you to be defiled by her!”
Susu: “…”
