Chapter 30: Just Treat It as Being Bitten by a Puppy
At noon, Zhou Ying picked up the cat.
Although she said she picked it up, the tabby cat was already waiting at the door when she left.
I was really shocked when I saw it.
Especially those clear amber eyes, they always seemed more human than my own silly daughter.
"Little guy, are you Xiao Bei's cat?" Zhou Ying squatted down.
The tabby cat simply meowed lazily, then nimbly jumped into the woman's arms.
"Hmm, this is much more comfortable than being held by Jiang Youyu."
The tabby cat squinted comfortably.
In Zhou Ying's arms, Gu Zhibei quickly arrived at the competition venue.
It was the weekend, and the mall was doing well, so there were a lot of people there.
Fortunately, Zhou Suisui didn't come, otherwise he might not have been able to take care of the two of them.
However, her reason for not coming was that she was "more interested in her brother's girlfriend than the cat."
Was she interested in Jiang Youyu as a person, or in the identity of "her brother's girlfriend"?
Gu Zhibei stopped thinking.
Zhou Ying had already completed the information registration and carried him into the players' lounge.
The lounge was crowded with people and cats.
The meowing was giving him a headache.
They're just a bunch of rabble.
Not worth mentioning.
Gu Zhibei didn't even bother to glance at it.
He continued to rest in the arms of the somewhat nervous woman.
While waiting, a middle-aged man tried to strike up a conversation with Zhou Ying.
But it was scared away by the tabby cat peeking out from the woman's arms.
Even the Englishman the man was holding was so frightened that he shrank into a ball.
Has the tabby cat form actually awakened Conqueror's Haki?
Gu Zhibei was shocked.
He breathed on an orange cat next to him.
The once docile orange cat suddenly bristled, leaping and bounding around the lounge. No matter how its owner chased after it, it couldn't catch up. This startled the other cats, who began to meow incessantly.
Gu Zhibei immediately felt a little guilty and stopped moving.
Zhou Ying wiped away her cold sweat; she had seen it all clearly.
Could Xiao Bei's cat be the legendary Cat King?
The woman and her killer lurked in a corner, afraid of being noticed.
...
The match started close to one o'clock.
Gu Zhibei was the eighth to appear.
The game can be viewed on the screens in the lounge.
The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly lively.
The host delivered a passionate speech on stage.
The girls screamed as they watched the adorable cats take the stage.
The boys were also very excited; they rarely heard so many girls screaming.
The first cat to appear was startled when it saw so many humans staring at it.
I peed.
Gu Zhibei looked away.
He didn't know what was so interesting about this kind of competition.
Soon, it was time for him to make his appearance.
Zhou Ying needs to wait for him at the finish line.
She encouraged him before leaving, probably because she was afraid he would wet himself in fright.
The tabby cat was speechless.
He walked leisurely onto the stage.
The female host's eyes lit up, and she was so excited she almost cracked her voice:
"Oh my god, as you can see, the little contestant who's coming up now is an extremely beautiful tabby cat! Oh my god! How can it be so cute! I can't even imagine how happy it would be to hold it in my arms and suck on its little belly—"
"Ahem! Well then, without further ado, let's look forward to contestant number eight's performance!" The male host hurriedly interrupted her.
The female host still seemed unwilling to give up and wanted to carry him onto the track.
But Gu Zhibei skillfully dodged it.
A forty-year-old woman is beyond his shooting range.
"Damn it, damn it!" the female host pounded the ground in frustration.
Gu Zhibei felt a chill and quickly ran onto the track.
The first obstacle is a log bridge made of planks about thirty centimeters wide.
Before the host even started introducing him, he easily jogged over.
The male host seemed a little embarrassed, but he was experienced in impromptu situations.
"It seems our number eight player is eager to secure the victory."
"But the second challenge won't be so easy; the contestants will have to resist the temptation of delicious food for thirty seconds..."
"Contestant number eight is an incredibly gluttonous tabby cat; perhaps this is as far as it can go in today's competition!"
The female host shouted, "I've already conveyed all my emotions to it through this bond! Our bond will definitely not stop here!"
Gu Zhibei wondered where the organizers had found such a remarkable person.
He swatted away the cat food that the staff member handed him.
The female host excitedly shouted, "See that? This is the bond that binds us together!"
The male host opened his mouth, then took a few deep breaths.
He forced a smile:
"Unexpectedly, the second stage, which trapped four contestants, failed to pose any obstacle to contestant number eight."
"Of course! Do you even know what a bond is? A bond!" The female host's response was quite youthful.
"Haha." The male host let out a dry laugh. "Let's see if contestant number eight can maintain the same momentum in the third round."
The third level is a racetrack; simply pass it.
Meanwhile, staff members would use cat toys to lure the contestants.
It's quite difficult.
Because the staff member was a burly man with a thick beard and a very greasy expression.
It's hard not to give him a swipe.
The screams of the audience could be heard from time to time.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the tabby cat passed the third challenge with a look of disgust.
Ignoring the cheers of the audience, he strode quickly to the fourth and final level.
It seems no cat has reached this level yet.
Is it the tunneling project listed on the information sheet?
Gu Zhibei looked around but didn't see any props.
He had no choice but to listen to the host begin his introduction.
"Congratulations to contestant number eight! You've made it to the final round: the cat-sticking contest!"
The male host held up the microphone.
"We'll have a staff member get together with the contestant cat to get some affection. As long as the cat doesn't hiss or try to run away, it'll pass the challenge!"
Gu Zhibei's body stiffened.
How can there be such a ridiculously difficult level!
Committing indecent acts in broad daylight is definitely illegal!
Before he could even react, a familiar figure slowly emerged from backstage.
She was wearing a ragdoll-style work uniform with two fluffy cat ears on her head.
A hint of surprise flickered in those clear, cool eyes.
It was like discovering a treasure delivered to their doorstep.
The surrounding noise seemed to quiet down with the arrival of the girl.
Pei Qingning…
What is she doing here?!
The tabby cat's pupils shrank to a tiny dot.
He tilted his head back and took two steps back in disbelief.
Pei Qingning followed relentlessly, cornering the boy.
The kitten is trying to run away.
The male host's exclamation rang in the boy's ears:
"Oh! Contestant number eight seems very resistant to the staff's approach. Is it going to miss out on our brother refrigerator and the ten thousand yuan prize?"
The tabby cat trembled.
My legs went weak.
That's ten thousand yuan!
Even after graduating from university, it takes two or three months of work to earn that much.
Gu Zhibei had never received so much money before.
Even though his parents were very willing to give him pocket money.
But he grew up alone.
Precocious children are often very independent.
Gu Zhibei had made plans early on: after graduating from high school, he would try his best to earn his tuition and living expenses on his own.
Parents' love is not a reason for a child to be willful, at least not to him.
If we can get this money, tuition fees will not be a problem at all.
It's just a matter of closing your eyes and enduring for a few minutes...
After a fierce internal struggle, the tabby cat finally gave up resisting.
He watched the girl's face loom larger and larger, then closed his eyes in despair.
Just pretend you were bitten by a puppy.
……Um?
How come she's even softer than Aunt Zhou?
