Chapter 108: No Loving Cats, Only Loving Me
All along the way, though nothing unusual happened, ever since leaving the house, Chi Xiaocheng could always detect faint warnings from her alertness skill.
It was as if someone was secretly watching her.
She searched all around but couldn't find the dark Xiaocheng that always made her heart clench whenever it appeared.
She thought that the dark Xiaocheng was perhaps observing her from some hidden place.
That dark Xiaocheng would harm her!
That was why her alertness skill gave a faint warning.
Fortunately, inside this cat cafe, she couldn't see that figure.
After finally relaxing completely, Chi Xiaocheng noticed that many cats were looking at her. One bold ginger cat had already rolled over to her feet, rubbing gently against her boots and letting out adorable meows.
Led by this ginger cat, many other playful kittens gathered around.
The young woman holding a cat chuckled softly, “It seems they really like you.”
Seeing this, Su Tao no longer dwelt on her previous concerns. Instead, she handed the young woman two hundred-yuan notes and said, “Then we’ll make ourselves at home.”
Two hundred yuan for two people, to play with the cats all day.
Meanwhile, Chi Xiaocheng had already picked up the plump ginger cat, watching with a wry smile as the other cats nudged closer.
Her affinity skill was constantly at work.
She cast a pleading look at Su Tao, “Tao Tao, help me!”
“This is proof of their affection for you. Just relax and enjoy yourself here.”
Su Tao squatted down and gently beckoned to a small white cat.
As the female lead, her affinity was naturally very high.
The originally timid white cat gathered its courage and jumped into Su Tao’s arms. After being gently scratched under its chin, both the white cat and its human showed satisfied and happy smiles.
This scene was reflected in Chi Xiaocheng’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but curve into a relaxed smile.
Holding the large ginger cat, she sat down on a blanket.
The young woman at the cat cafe was named Xu Ran. After senior year of high school, she didn’t have money for university and didn’t want to resort to illicit means to earn dirty money. After several months of working odd jobs and collecting bottles, she unexpectedly met Dongfang Yang.
Subsequently, due to her high affinity with cats, she was appointed as the small manager of this little shop.
After meeting Su Tao, their conversation flowed ceaselessly.
Just like two parents meeting.
Xu Ran talked about the two young girls who were freshmen in high school working at the cafe, while Su Tao’s topic couldn’t go three sentences without mentioning Chi Xiaocheng.
Both were reminiscing about the past.
Meanwhile, the person herself, sitting on the blanket, perked up her ears, listening to Su Tao’s praise, but she wasn’t as happy as one might imagine.
Su Tao was praising her.
But the one being praised wasn’t her.
She had transmigrated here in November.
All told, it had only been a little over a month and a week since then.
This period of time represented her true self.
However, the praise from Su Tao’s mouth was for the Xiaocheng from high school.
Her originally good mood gradually dissipated under this creeping wave of thought.
Just at that moment, the hem of a black formal dress came into view.
An index finger was touching a cat beside her.
Her gaze drifted.
The Xiaocheng emanating a dark aura was crouching on the floor, hugging her knees, smiling faintly as she looked at her. “Don’t you understand? Su Tao cares about the Xiaocheng in her memories, not you at all.”
Its sudden appearance prevented her alertness skill from giving an early warning.
Chi Xiaocheng pursed her lips, her mood worsening considerably.
She involuntarily turned her head to look at Su Tao.
The dark Xiaocheng, at some unknown point, had moved to her other side. It reached out, wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and pointed at Su Tao, saying, “Did you hear what she said? Xiaocheng from childhood, Xiaocheng from high school, those beautiful times living together in the countryside… but not the Xiaocheng from this past month, after going to university.
“By pretending to be well-behaved, you can neither gain her physically nor win her heart.”
Chi Xiaocheng bit her lip, lowering her head to speak to it in a voice only she could hear, “You’re wrong, Tao Tao cares about me!”
The dark Xiaocheng smiled sinisterly, “What’s the use of caring? Think about Yiran. She once acted as if she cared about you so much, saying she liked you every day, but what was the result? Her liking for you was someone else’s command!
“Now Su Tao would rather hug a kitten than hug you~”
Inducing her little by little, the voice that wanted her to possess Su Tao echoed in her ears once more.
If she couldn’t get Su Tao’s affection, there was no other way but to possess her!
Chi Xiaocheng abruptly stood up, biting the tip of her tongue hard.
The pain brought her back to her senses.
She couldn’t possess her that way.
She couldn’t listen to this dark Xiaocheng.
Tao Tao still cares about me now, and she said she likes me. If I upset her, if I were to forcefully possess her…
She definitely wouldn’t like that method.
She would be unhappy.
Chi Xiaocheng gazed intently at Su Tao, put down the cat in her arms, and carefully walked over.
Xu Ran and Su Tao both looked at Chi Xiaocheng with confusion at the same time.
Chi Xiaocheng clasped her hands behind her back, both nervous and a little afraid. “Don’t… don’t hug the cat anymore. Hug me, okay?”
Xu Ran froze for a moment, then cast a deep glance at Su Tao.
She immediately broke into an understanding smile.
“Old Eight, come here.”
With a gentle crook of her finger, the little white cat in Su Tao’s arms jumped into Xu Ran’s.
She said to the two of them, “I still need to supervise those two girls with their homework. Feel free to make yourselves at home. There are snacks at the bar, and let me know if you want coffee.”
With that, she left her seat, holding the cat.
Chi Xiaocheng, meanwhile, still had her head lowered, looking exactly like a child who had done something wrong.
Su Tao brought her legs together and asked curiously, “Xiaocheng, why do you want a hug again?”
Chi Xiaocheng pursed her lips. Those two sentences kept replaying in her mind: She’d hug a cat before she’d hug you. It’s just a cat, how can it compare to me!
Chi Xiaocheng let out a soft huff. “I’m jealous.”
Upon hearing this, Su Tao’s mouth slightly opened. She had not at all anticipated Chi Xiaocheng’s reply.
Jealous?
Of a cat?
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She patted her thigh. “Come sit here.”
As the delicate, soft form settled into her embrace, a trace of sweetness bloomed in Su Tao’s heart.
When someone expresses jealousy, asks for a hug, or seeks comfort right in front of you, the emotional value provided is immense.
Liking, caring, possessiveness—all were perfectly displayed in that brief sentence.
And the person who was liked, no matter how much they tried to hide it, couldn’t help but be moved.
Chi Xiaocheng buried herself in Su Tao’s embrace, then gently leaned closer to her ear.
A puff of warm breath brushed against her ear, followed by a soft, shy meow.
It was as if a jolt of electricity spread from her earlobe through her entire body.
Su Tao looked at the person in her arms with a stunned expression.
Chi Xiaocheng boldly said, “If Tao Tao likes it, I can be Tao Tao’s little cat too.”
Her head emerged, her pink lips almost touching Su Tao’s chin.
Obedient and clingy.
A momentary struggle flashed through Su Tao’s heart.
She glanced at Xu Ran by the bar and retreated.
But an enticing voice suddenly entered her ear.
“Aren’t you going to kiss me?”
Su Tao lowered her head in surprise, only to find that Chi Xiaocheng had already closed her eyes, ripe for the taking.
Utterly delicate and inviting, she was nothing short of perfection.
Su Tao involuntarily swallowed, her breathing gradually quickening.
