Tang Qing hid in a dead corner of the ceiling, carefully tucked his round head, and firmly clung his four claws to the wall to ensure he wouldn’t fall.

Ren Yuhui and Zhang Xu each held a pole, standing on both sides, poking upward with the poles.

“This darn cat, it’s really good at hiding,” Ren Yuhui said viciously. He poked a few times, and Tang Qing shrunk his head and twisted his waist skillfully to dodge.

“Yeah, this orphan-raised cat seems to have turned smart, understanding human language,” Zhang Xu said angrily, wishing he could climb up and grab the cat himself.

Ren Yuhui thought for a moment and sneered, “Let’s both poke at the same time, you on the left, me on the right, let’s see how this cheap cat can still hide.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Qing tensed his limbs, gripping the wall corner tightly, not daring to let go.

The two attacked from both sides, extending the poles to Tang Qing’s flanks, forcefully prying open the cat’s claws clinging tightly to the wall corner.

One cat was no match for four hands, and with a pitiful meow, Tang Qing was swept down from the ceiling by the two of them.

“Meow!”

Tang Qing quickly adjusted his posture, rolled upon landing, and the two only saw a flash of orange fur in front of them. In the blink of an eye, the orange ball rolled under the bed.

Having observed from the ceiling for a long time, Tang Qing had already targeted this position.

Tang Qing lazily flicked his big tail and stuck out his tongue at them. 

“F*ck! This damn beast! Damn it, it’s making me so angry!” Ren Yuhui’s face twisted in anger. He raised the pole and fiercely smashed it on the bed, emitting a dull sound.

Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Ren Yuhui was used to getting everything he wanted at home. This was the first time he had been so playfully teased by a cat, making his lips tremble slightly with anger, almost causing him to have a headache.

“Yuhui, calm down, let’s continue poking from both sides with the pole, we’ll definitely catch this cat,” Zhang Xu said through gritted teeth, full of resentment. “We can torture it however we want later.”

Ren Yuhui rolled up his sleeves, wiped the sweat off his forehead, his blood boiling and face red with anger, then he said slowly, “I’ll use the stun baton on it later, you record it with your phone, and tonight we’ll send the video to that orphan, let him see how we beat his cheap cat to death.”

Tang Qing cautiously curled up his limbs, pressed his big tail under his butt, and tried to curl up into a small ball.

Under the bed was much darker than he had imagined, and he was actually a bit afraid of the dark. After his family went bankrupt and creditors came knocking, he once hid alone in a bookcase, listening to people outside cursing all day, not daring to make a sound. Since that day, he had become scared of the dark.

Although he had night vision as a cat, he still felt a bit scared while hiding under the bed.

Tang Qing trembled slightly, bit his lip tightly, unable to control the instinct of a cat, and made a whistling sound.

The two of them lay under the bed, holding poles and poking underneath the bed.

Tang Qing carefully avoided the poles, but still got poked a few times, which was very painful.

He felt that his fur was all dirty as the underside of the bed was so dirty, he didn’t know if his cleanliness-obsessed owner would be disgusted with him again, and whether he would need to pick up alcohol and spray him wildly.

The two wrapped the poles behind Tang Qing and pushed it out one by one.

Ren Yuhui reached out his hand, ready to grab the cat.

“Beast, you’re scared and trembling now, huh?” he said viciously, a fierce smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of disdain and intense malice. “Once I catch this beast, I’ll pluck all its fur, stuff it into Fu Yixuan’s school bag, and disgust him to death, hahaha.”

“Meow!” Tang Qing wanted to reach out and scratch the chubby one, but Zhang Xu held his two front paws, startling him into letting out a sharp cat cry.

“Haha, beast, did you think the same trick could fool us twice?” Zhang Xu smirked, tightly gripping Tang Qing’s two front paws, making Tang Qing feel like his bones were about to be broken.

The two roughly dragged Tang Qing out from under the bed, pressing him tightly on the floor.

“Got you, hmph, this beast. I’ll go get the phone to record.”

Zhang Xu turned to get the phone, while Ren Yuhui held down the little cat’s two front legs.

“Meow!” Tang Qing couldn’t help but cry out, feeling a bit scared, his originally lively and cute cat eyes widened, filled with tears.

Bang!

At this moment, there was a loud noise, the glass window was violently shattered from the outside, and a tall and slender black-haired youth leaped into the room from the window. The usually calm and composed youth didn’t even have time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, his arms full of wounds from tree branches, and a visible scar on his handsome right cheek, looking somewhat intimidating.

The black-haired youth’s eyes were full of icy killing intent, his gaze cold and sharp, his movements swift like a strong wind.

He rolled into the room, landing quickly and catching up with Zhang Xu, fiercely punching Zhang Xu in the back.

Zhang Xu staggered, with no power to resist, falling to the ground.

Punch after punch, the rain-like fists hit Zhang Xu hard, making him scream and fall to the ground like a lump of mud.

Ren Yuhui was stunned, sitting motionless on the ground, while Tang Qing took the opportunity to break free and swiftly slipped into Fu Yixuan’s arms.

“Meow!”

Tang Qing nudged the young man’s chest with his head.

Fu Yixuan gasped slightly, tightly holding the little cat in his arms as if he had regained a precious treasure. He carefully examined the cat’s whole body, constantly stroking its fur, wishing he could hold it close to his heart to make sure the cat was still with him.

“Meow~ I’m fine, don’t worry, human.”

Tang Qing kept rubbing against Fu Yixuan, and after the shock, tears slowly fell from his eyes, hitting the heart of the black-haired youth.

Fu Yixuan looked into the green gem-like eyes of the little orange cat washed by tears, the twinkling big watery eyes still filled with trust and reliance towards him. The fur on the cat’s head was a bit messy, and its originally soft white belly was also covered in dust.

Fu Yixuan felt a pang in his heart.

This was the baby he was afraid to hold in his hands for fear of falling, and afraid to hold in his mouth in fear of melting¹metaphorically.

The usually calm and composed youth suddenly lost control of his emotions, his deep and narrow phoenix eyes reddened abruptly, his gaze crazed as if he wanted to devour someone, his heart suddenly aching as if being twisted by something, making it hard for him to breathe, his fingertips on the cat trembled slightly, feeling icy cold.

“Tang Tang, did they hurt you?” Fu Yixuan’s voice was very low and deep, exuding a chilling aura, his eyes filled with darkness.

“Meow~”

The little orange cat made that sweet and soft meow again, tugging at one’s heartstrings.

“It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt. As long as you hold me, I’m fine. I’m not scared anymore, so you shouldn’t be scared either.”

The obedient little cat kept nuzzling the black-haired youth, its round head pressed tightly against his chest.

He kept rubbing the cat gently, the furry and warm touch calming the youth down slightly.

He was afraid his dark and crazy side would scare his little baby Tang Tang.

Ren Yuhui saw Zhang Xu writhing on the ground, his mind blank. He suspected Fu Yixuan had gone mad, thinking that if this continued, someone might get killed.

He picked up a chair nearby, stood up, and aimed to strike it at Fu Yixuan.

Hearing the sound, Fu Yixuan protected the cat firmly in one hand and swiftly reached out with the other, blocking the incoming chair.

Bang!

The chair shattered in his hand.

A bright red fresh blood slowly trickled down Fu Yixuan’s arm.

He just glanced carefully at the cat in his arms, making sure it was unharmed, as if the bloody arm didn’t hurt at all.

Ren Yuhui raised another chair intending to strike again. He was quite plump, and when nervous, he couldn’t control his heavy breathing, his hands trembling non-stop, his legs shaking, his forehead covered in sweat, making people doubt if he could handle the chair properly.

The black-haired youth paid no attention to Ren Yuhui holding a weapon.

As long as Tang Qing was still in his arms, Fu Yixuan wouldn’t be afraid to go against the whole world.

Expressionless, Fu Yixuan walked towards Ren Yuhui, not even lifting his eyelids, but his gaze was as cold as ice. He tightly encircled the cat in his arms, not letting a single cat hair out. The tall and slender black-haired youth, with his over six feet frame, cast a shadow over Ren Yuhui’s face, exuding immense pressure and intimidation, his eyes as frosty and deadly as a blade. His face was as cold as jade, as he uttered each word with emphasis:

“Ren Yuhui, try touching my cat again.”
