Chapter 3

This iron-hearted, ruthless, and merciless main villain!

Practically anti-human!

“Meow! Meow! Meow!”

The little orange cat angrily meowed.

How could I get closer to Fu Yixuan like this?

The security guard in the security room was playing on his phone when he heard the noise and glanced at the constantly meowing little cat.

He was getting on in years, with most of his hair already gone, combing the remaining hair on the sides towards the centre as best as he could, looking somewhat shabby. Young girls would avoid him when they saw him. He had stayed up all night playing games last night, and now on duty, his face was oily, with two obvious dark circles under his eyes.

“These cats and dogs are so annoying, stinking to high heavens.” The security guard grumbled, already irritable from waking up early, and seeing this cardboard box made him even more annoyed.

He couldn’t understand why so many girls liked keeping cats and dogs. On the contrary, he usually watched videos of abusing cats and dogs to vent his work frustrations.

He rudely kicked the cardboard box, his eyes full of malice, and harshly said, “I’m warning you, don’t mess around peeing and pooping everywhere. If you dare run around, I’ll kill you!”

Tang Qing was startled, his fur standing on end.

He was a little afraid of this security guard, as he heard that some people just naturally hated small animals.

Tang Qing cautiously curled up into a ball, hiding in the corner of the box, not daring to make a sound.

“99, what do I do now? This bald-headed man looks so fierce.” Tang Qing weakly asked the system in his mind.

The system also found this man a bit disgusting, [Host, you have to grit your teeth and find a way to knock on the villain’s door again. He fed you milk yesterday, so he must have softened up to you.]

After thinking it over, Tang Qing realised that this was the only way. He couldn’t stay in the security room, accompanying this somewhat perverted man. He needed to get closer to the villain to complete the mission.

There’s no difficult target, just a brave working cat!

Tang Qing clenched his fist, encouraging himself.

He cautiously peeked out through the cardboard box and observed the security guard. The guard took out his phone, grumbling as he played games, engaging in voice chat with matched online friends, as if wanting to vent all his dissatisfaction with life on innocent passersby.

After waiting for a while and confirming that the guard was completely immersed in the game and wouldn’t notice him, Tang Qing carefully prepared to escape.

Ugh! Bald weirdo, goodbye¹the lines Xinghe desperately want to say to me every day Xinghe: So you DO know!

Cats are naturally very suitable for covert actions.

He skillfully leaped out of the cardboard box and began to implement the second “jailbreak.”

Tang Qing shook his little tail, his pink paw pads silently landing as he quietly crawled to the door. He even remembered to bring his little cushion.

Turning his head, making a turn, avoiding the security guard, he crawled forward!

Before Tang Qing could figure out his bearings, the small cat’s head accidentally bumped into a pair of white sneakers.

Ah… who is it?

Tang Qing lifted his head. From the cat’s perspective, he could clearly see that although these sneakers were a bit old, they were unusually clean and faintly smelled of alcohol.

This familiar sense of cleanliness…

Tang Qing was covered with a towel, his whole body lifted up in the air and fell into a familiar embrace.

Tang Qing looked up and saw a young man wearing a typical high school uniform, unable to hide his perfect and slender figure, dignified and elegant. His facial features were clean and sharp, with delicate and elegant eyes and eyebrows, a high and handsome nose bridge, and young skin with a cold white tone. But his expression was cold and noble.

Indeed, it was Fu Yixuan.

The security guard finally lifted his head after seeing the young man, and impatiently said, “Student, this cat you brought yesterday is not from Mrs. Liu’s house. I called and asked, Mrs. Liu has returned to her hometown now, and their cat has been neutered, so this can’t be their cat.”

Tang Qing was stunned, Mrs. Liu was not at home. Their cat had also been neutered. Now he didn’t even have the qualification to be the neighbour’s cat.

Seeing Fu Yixuan silent, the security guard looked disgusted, glanced at the cardboard box, and loudly said, “Just so you know, student, I don’t take in stray cats here. These little cats and dogs stink to high heavens.”

This greasy bald uncle²another one of Xinghe’s favourite lines to me Xinghe: Honey!! You’re ruining my reputation!!!!

Tang Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Unfortunately, he was just a kitten, so even if he made such an expression, it didn’t show.

“I understand.” Fu Yixuan squatted down, took out a wet wipe from his school uniform pocket and carefully wiped the footprints on the cardboard box. He put the little cat back in the box, covered it with the pad and towel, picked up the box, and stood up.

Fu Yixuan was naturally cold-hearted, not the kind of person full of love for small animals. Although the kitten was innocent and cute, he had never thought of keeping a cat.

He was busy every day, having to earn a living even though he was still a minor, wishing for there to be 48 hours in a day to study and work. He had taken care of the little cat all night, which was already a rare exception.

Seeing the teenager getting up to leave, the security guard impatiently glanced at the cardboard box, picked up his phone again, ready to continue playing games, and casually said, “No parents, no one wants this stray, just throw it outside.”

Upon hearing this, the teenager paused, a layer of gloominess washing over his previously calm eyes, his gaze cold and guarded, as if some dark memory had been triggered, staring coldly at the security guard.

The guard was taken aback. This underage student suddenly exuded a ruthless aura typically only seen in those of higher status. Having worked as a security guard in the neighbourhood for so long, this was the first time he felt someone’s gaze could be so chilling.

Fu Yixuan remained expressionless. The guard unconsciously stopped his muttering, a thin layer of cold sweat appearing on his forehead, not daring to make a sound.

Inside the cardboard box, Tang Qing didn’t notice the sudden drop in temperature between the two, he was anxiously trying to come up with a plan from the system.

It seemed like Fu Yixuan had no intention of keeping him. How could he get closer to the villain like this?

The system downloaded a picture of the most popular cute cat for Tang Qing, and sent it to him, [Host! The villain hasn’t thrown you away yet, quickly try to please the villain.] The picture showed a very classic cute expression of a cat begging.

Imitating the expression in the picture, Tang Qing pulled out all the stops, posing in a difficult move inside the box.

“Meow.”

A sweet cat’s meow echoed in the air. The teenager’s eyes were full of shadows as he slowly lowered his head to look at the box.

He saw a little cat tilting its tiny head, blinking its big eyes pitifully, its furry little paws tightly wrapped around the teenager’s hand, the whole cat half-standing, almost sticking to the teenager’s wrist, its light orange tail swaying. A pair of light green cat eyes widened round, shining brightly, like two beautiful glass beads.

Worried that the cuteness wasn’t enough, Tang Qing even abandoned his human sense of shame, rubbing his furry head against the teenager’s hand, then lowering his voice, sweetly meowing:

“Meow~”

Full of cuteness and pitifulness.

It was as if the little cat had gently plucked at the heartstrings.

In an instant, the deep chill melted away bit by bit.

The cold black-haired teenager concealed the sudden hostility in his eyes, gently touched the soft head of the little cat with his slender porcelain-white fingers, and rubbed the pink nose of the cat with his knuckles, his gaze unusually carrying a hint of warmth.

He carefully covered the cat with a towel and soothed the little cat, before glancing at the security guard. His long and deep eyes now filled with gloom, speaking coldly, each word enunciated:

“It’s not a stray that no one wants.”
