Chapter 139 – Moving into the movie emperor Lu’s house

Translator: ChuRen/ YuQiChen

Lu Zeyu placed the soft cat in his arms on the table.

The cat didn’t cry or fuss, obediently lifting its head to look at him.

Its pair of deep chestnut eyes were extremely beautiful, shimmering with radiance, like a fluffy doll.

The man came over with a box of goat’s milk, carefully reading the instructions before pouring it into a bowl.

“Are you hungry?”

Tang Qing wasn’t really hungry, having hurriedly left after finishing breakfast in the morning.

But smelling the rich goat’s milk, he still graciously lowered his head and licked a few mouthfuls.

Slurp, slurp.

Regardless of whether the stomach was hungry or not, no kitten could resist the temptation of goat’s milk.

“Meow.”

The cat lifted its head, its moist eyes gazing at the man.

Lu Zeyu sat on the sofa, one leg casually stretched out and the other slightly bent. His posture was relaxed, clearly enjoying a rare leisurely moment.

The man let out a low chuckle.

His voice was deep and pleasant, sounding soothing to the cat’s ears.

He reached out, his slender index finger wiping off the white goat’s milk from the cat’s cheek.

Then he offered his finger to the cat’s mouth.

The cat didn’t think too much, obediently extending its pink tongue, licking up all the fragrant goat’s milk.

The sensation of the tongue licking his finger was slightly prickly and ticklish.

Tang Qing suddenly remembered, didn’t Lu Zeyu have a cleanliness obsession?

Wasn’t he disgusted by his saliva?

Lu Zeyu extended his hand, placing it on the cat, absentmindedly stroking it.

The man’s nails were neatly trimmed, his finger joints distinct, white and flawless, resembling jade, delicate and noble.

His fingertips were cool, touching the warm and dense golden fur of the cat, the fluffy sensation making one relax both physically and mentally.

The cat couldn’t control its instinctual response, clearly enjoying the man’s touch. It half-closed its eyes, its soft body gently swaying with the man’s finger movements. Occasionally, it would raise its paw to lightly scratch at the man’s fingers, prompting the man’s fingers to linger in that spot for a moment, responding to the gesture.

He would also scratch the fluffy chin or soft ears of the little cat.

This elicited a contented purr from the cat, unable to resist rubbing against him.

It had been a long time since an animal had been so close to him.

The last time was when he was very young, with a small orange cat he had kept.

Unfortunately, it was soon given away.

The remaining scenes were quickly shot.

The cat stretched lazily, happily meowing.

“Movie Emperor Lu, give me the cat.” Gu Minghao reached out his hand, signaling for Lu Zeyu to hand over the cat.

Lu Zeyu remained seated, holding the warm bundle and asked, “Whose cat is this?”

Gu Minghao replied, “This cat belongs to Tang Qing…”

Gu Minghao looked down at the cat, which also looked up at him, its eyes rolling around.

“Tang Qing’s brother’s cat,” he quickly added.

“Oh, never mind whose cat it is, I have to return it to its owner.” Gu Minghao showed impatience, reaching out towards the cat in Lu Zeyu’s arms. “Come here, little cutie.”

“Tang Qing’s brother, is called Tang Bo, right?” Lu Zeyu suddenly asked.

“Yes,” Gu Minghao nodded.

“Isn’t Tang Bo currently abroad? He has a project to discuss in City A, right?” Lu Zeyu said casually.

“Uh…” Gu Minghao fell silent, not really sure if what Lu Zeyu said was true.

Although he and Tang Bo were good friends, they didn’t really keep track of each other’s whereabouts daily.

“Well, this cat’s acting skills still need improvement.”

Upon hearing this, the cat immediately glared fiercely at the Film Emperor, its round face showing displeasure.

He didn’t believe that the internet-famous cat named Xiao Mi could act better than him!

“Meow!”

The Film Emperor reached out to stroke the fluffed-up little cat, thinking that the cat couldn’t understand human speech, but it didn’t matter.

He continued, “I’ll take it back, train it a bit. Bring it back tomorrow and continue shooting the rest of the scenes.”

The cat looked at him with some confusion, its round eyes wide open.

System 99’s voice sounded in his mind, [Host, quickly agree. Going to the villain’s house will also allow you to get closer to the villain.]

Tang Qing then remembered his mission.

The cat pretended to look reluctant, then pounced into Lu Zeyu’s arms.

“Meow~”

Nestled in the man’s arms, the cat rubbed its furry head against the man’s slender neck.

Lu Zeyu held the cat in his arms, feeling unexpectedly pleased, “Since Tang Bo is not in the country, I’ll take care of his cat for a few days. I’ll inform him about it.”

“Well…”

Gu Minghao was initially inclined to refuse, after all, this was no ordinary cat.

But seeing Tang Qing’s reaction, he knew Tang Qing was willing. If Tang Qing agreed, there was nothing more to be said.

He nodded, agreeing, “Since the cat likes you, take good care of it. If there are any issues, ask me promptly. Don’t mistreat the cat.”

Lu Zeyu nodded.

Gu Minghao, still concerned, reminded him like an old mother, “Build a good relationship with the cat. You can’t afford to lose a single cat hair. We still need it for tomorrow’s scenes.”

“I understand.”

Lu Zeyu picked up the cat and left.

Surprisingly for someone as wealthy as Lu Zeyu, he didn’t even have a driver. He left the set in a seemingly inconspicuous car.

Tang Qing sat obediently like a plush doll in the passenger seat, gazing out at the scenery.

Occasionally, when waiting at a red light, the man would reach out to pet the cat.

After driving for a while, they arrived at a luxurious garden in the city center.

In the prime real estate of City A, Lu Zeyu surprisingly owned such a villa.

Although it wasn’t surprising given Lu Zeyu’s financial status, additionally, Tang Qing’s Tang family, was also quite wealthy.

If Tang Qing hadn’t been lucky enough to become the Film Emperor Lu’s cat for a day, he wouldn’t have imagined there could be such a uniquely designed, quiet, and serene place in the city center.

Lu Zeyu parked the car and walked into the detached villa. The interior was decorated in a very understated yet luxurious manner, with all the furniture being of high value.

However, these were probably all provided by the developers; despite being grand and luxurious, the place lacked any warmth, feeling empty and cold.

“Little cat, I forgot to ask you what your name is?”

After careful consideration, Lu Zeyu picked up the cat and asked softly, “You are all golden like a ball of shredded pork. Can I call you Meatfloss?”

The cat immediately shook its head vigorously.

Well, what decent cat would want to be called Meatfloss…

“Then, let’s go with Little Bee.”

Tang Qing continued to shake his head frantically.

He didn’t want to spend his days buzzing around in the bushes like a busy bee.

Lu Zeyu carefully observed this difficult-to-please cat.

The cat’s entire body resembled honey, a translucent golden color that looked warm.

“Alright, let’s call you Honey.”

Honey?

Tang Qing found this name too sweet.

But compared to the previous names, “Honey” wasn’t as outrageous.

The cat condescendingly nodded its round head.

“Good, little Honey.”

The man’s voice was deep and pleasant.

“I haven’t prepared food for you yet.”

The cat immediately agilely climbed onto the man’s shoulder, nestling there like a plush pendant, and followed him to the kitchen.

Hmm, what delicious treats could be in the kitchen? Starting to feel a bit hungry.

Lu Zeyu walked into the kitchen, where there was a large refrigerator.

Wow, such a big fridge, could it be filled with tasty fish?

The man placed his hand on the handle and opened the fridge.

The curious cat poked its head out, looking into the fridge.

But it was quite empty inside, with only a box of frozen shrimp and a very fancy packaged fish.

Lu Zeyu furrowed his brows slightly.

He rarely cooked at home; usually, he just had meals delivered by the hotel.

He took out the ingredients and patted the cat on his shoulder, soothingly saying, “I’ll be wronging Honey for tonight.”

He prepared a meal with the fish and shrimp, serving it in front of the cat.

“Meow~”

The cat sniffed at the food, finding it very fragrant.

Although the fish wasn’t fresh, it was still sweet and delicious, making the cat drool just from the smell.

What Tang Qing didn’t know was that this fish was the legendary “as expensive as gold” Giant Yellow Croaker, which had even made headlines in the expensive fish rankings.

Perhaps the fish itself didn’t know that despite being so noble, it would end up as cat food eventually.

The cat lowered its head and started to eat eagerly.

Yum, it’s delicious.

After the cat had eaten for a while, the man brought a plate of fried rice over.

Curiously, Tang Qing glanced over and saw that the man had a plate of shrimp fried rice¹so you’re telling me a shrimp fried that rice? in his bowl.

There were even more shrimps in the man’s bowl than in his own.

“Little Honey, would you like some?” Lu Zeyu noticed Tang Qing’s curious look and then added another piece of shrimp to the cat’s plate.

“You can’t eat too much, it has salt in it.”

The cat affectionately rubbed against the man’s hand, then continued to bury its head in the food.

Lu Zeyu watched as the cat happily ate, feeling his own appetite improve as well.

He could have easily had a meal sent up by the hotel as usual. However, for some reason, today, when he brought this cat home, he suddenly felt like wanting to cook cat food by himself for the cat.

Just like every cat owner, personally preparing food for his cat was also part of the joy of having a cat.

Since the ingredients in the fridge were enough for the cat, and he didn’t have any particular cravings himself, it didn’t matter how much or little he ate.

After finishing dinner harmoniously with the cat, Lu Zeyu carried the cat to the living room and placed it on the soft sofa.

“Honey, sit here obediently, I’ll go take a shower.”

The cat obediently nodded, its face showing how well-behaved it was.

Lu Zeyu then turned on the TV, switching to the animal world channel, before heading to the bathroom.

Tang Qing held the tassel pillow on the sofa, unable to control himself, and frantically pawed at the tassels.

Seeing Lu Zeyu head to the bathroom, he agilely jumped onto the table, and swiftly hit the remote control.

He was tired of watching animal mating, so he kept changing channels.

Soap operas? Too melodramatic, better off reading a novel.

Finally, Tang Qing managed to find something he wanted to watch on TV.

An animated show about cats and mice.
