The cold black-haired teenager carried the cardboard box back home and closed the door.
Although he was still a high school student, he had a lot to do every day.
Fu Yixuan was raised by his mother since he was young. His mother was very beautiful, with a kind of gentle and non-aggressive beauty. Neighbours always felt a strange mix of pity and discrimination towards the single and beautiful mother raising him all alone. So Fu Yixuan had always worked hard in his studies, always ranking first in the class from a young age, just to make his mother hold her head high in front of others.
His mother was proud of his maturity. Because of his somewhat reclusive nature, his mother rejected the pursuit of many wealthy men, only wanting to see her child graduate smoothly and enter university.
His mother always said that she would consider remarrying once Fu Yixuan went to university and found a girlfriend.
But she never got to see that day.
Unexpected things happen. In his first year of high school, due to a drunk truck driver, his mother had an accident and passed away, leaving Fu Yixuan an orphan.
Now, even the neighbours whispered behind his back, saying that this young man was an unlucky star who had killed his mother. Every time people saw him, they would avoid him, afraid to talk to him, as if speaking to him would bring misfortune.
His tuition fees were covered by the school’s scholarship for top students. So he studied diligently until midnight every day, ensuring he remained at the top of his class.
Not only that, he also made time on weekends to work at a milk tea shop to earn a living. During summer and winter vacations, he took on multiple jobs at the same time, saving up money for his future university education. With his mother gone, he gradually became accustomed to the busy schedule of studying and working every day, no longer having the time or energy to connect with people.
The only hint of warmth he had, left with his mother in that accident forever.
And now, his elegant brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the little cat that had unexpectedly invaded his home, feeling somewhat helpless.
“99, have I… infiltrated the enemy’s territory?” Tang Qing asked the system incredulously.
[Yes, host! Congratulations, host!] The system loudly congratulated Tang Qing and sent him a fireworks emoji.
Finally, no longer a neighbour’s cat, nor a stray cat, he had successfully entered Fu Yixuan’s home.
Tang Qing jumped from joy, circling around Fu Yixuan’s clean feet, his little short legs bouncing.
Fu Yixuan watched the lively little cat, gently rubbing the fluffy cat’s head. He made an exception, allowing this little orange cat to frolic around in his territory, then went to the kitchen.
While Fu Yixuan was away, Tang Qing raised his tail and proudly surveyed the territory in the house. Although the house Fu Yixuan lived in was not large, it was very clean, with every nook and cranny spotless.
Tang Qing was very satisfied; he could walk around freely now, not worried about getting his fluffy white gloves1cuz he got these tiny little white paws aww dirty.
Fu Yixuan fiddled around for a while before bringing out a small plate.
Ah, is it goat milk?
Right, kittens can’t drink cow’s milk, they won’t get diarrhoea only if they drink goat milk.
So hungry, he hadn’t eaten anything since waking up from last night. This little milk cat’s body was hungry again.
Tang Qing immediately turned to the task of eating.
Accustomed to being a bipedal creature, now he had become a small cat with soft limbs, feeling a bit awkward. Tang Qing wobbled over to the goat milk, ready to have a feast, but accidentally flipped into the plate.
Fu Yixuan heard the sound, looked up, and saw the once spirited little cat now dumbly tumbling into the plate, its upper body’s fur stained with milky white goat milk, looking silly all over.
This silly cat seemed to not believe it had made such a basic mistake, looking incredulous, its round cat eyes staring dumbly at itself.
Silly and cute.
Fu Yixuan couldn’t help but chuckle softly, a hint of light shining in his cold and warm eyes.
His long and deep phoenix eyes, noble and elegant, were even more attractive.
Tang Qing stared dumbly at the young man, it was seemingly the first time he had seen the young man smile in the past few days.
This shit-shovelling officer was quite good-looking.
The black-haired teenager slightly raised the corners of his mouth, his voice low, husky, and magnetic:
“Little silly cat.”
Pei, pei, pei!2sounds of spitting!
You’re the silly one! Your whole family is silly! You’re the big silly hat3the word for cat 貓 is pronounced mao and the word for hat 帽 is also pronounced mao!
The little orange cat was angry, the kind that couldn’t be coaxed!
The black-haired teenager looked down at the bouncy little cat, squatted down, thought for a moment, and spoke in a clear, cold, elegant, and melodious voice: “Miaomiao.”
Huh? Is he calling me?
This name is so tacky, even if you are a ruthless villain, I can’t accept it.
No, no, Tang Qing turned around, using his furry little butt to express his opposition to Fu Yixuan.
Fu Yixuan looked at the shaking and wagging little creature, his brow furrowed slightly, and helplessly called out, “Xiao Mi4miao mi 喵咪 or mao mi 猫咪 is another way for saying cat in a cute way. Xiao is the word for little?”
Nine out of ten cats are called that.
No, no, even if his voice is nice, it won’t do. Tang Qing continued to wag his tail, using his little butt to express his protest.
Fu Yixuan pondered for a moment, and his clear and cold voice rang out:
“Tang Tang, I’ll call you Tang Tang.”
Tang Qing was momentarily stunned.
What a coincidence.
Tang Tang was his childhood nickname.
He never expected that in this strange world, there would still be someone calling him Tang Tang like his mother did. His mother always said, ‘Tang Tang is mommy’s little treasure, a sweet little sugar cake, the most precious gift sent by God to mommy.’
After his parents passed away, he could only live with his uncle and aunt, who ensured he had enough to eat. But no one would ever call him by his nickname with such love like his mother did.
His heart felt sour and bitter.
The previously restless little cat calmed down, turned around, and stared dumbly at the black-haired teenager. His fluffy head was blank, his round green eyes misty with tears, looking like two beautiful glass beads.
Innocent, ignorant, and pitiful.
A hint of elusive tenderness appeared in Fu Yixuan’s eyes, but his demeanour remained cold and noble. He rubbed the little cat’s head, “Tang Tang, from today onwards, this is your home.”
A mellow feeling surged in Tang Qing’s heart, making him feel a warmth he couldn’t quite express.
Having been thrown twice in this new world, and encountering a fierce security guard, this cat’s body felt particularly weak and helpless. Walking in a cat’s body, he wouldn’t even be able to seek help in a life-threatening situation. Any mischievous child could easily harm him.
To say he wasn’t afraid would be a lie.
He affectionately rubbed his furry little head against those well-defined hands. He even extended his tender little tongue, wanting to lick the young man.
Then, the elegant and cold young man extended two porcelain-white, slender fingers and disdainfully pushed him away…
Life as a cat is not easy.
Cat shedding tears (T︿T)
Fu Yixuan brought back some cat litter and taught the kitten how to use it.
Just kidding!
As an authentic human5Xinghe: Why not use the toilet then? soul with high intelligence, Tang Qing quickly learned to use the cat litter correctly, solving the problem happily.
The young man carefully looked at the kitten, his features clear and delicate, his nose as straight as if it were carved. He lightly said, “Oh, it’s a boy.”
Meow meow meow???
What exactly are you, you smelly rogue, looking at!
I’m really getting angry!
…
The next day, after finishing breakfast early, Fu Yixuan was about to leave for school.
“Meow meow meow!” The kitten kept calling.
“What’s wrong?” The black-haired teenager rarely squatted down patiently, carefully examining the kitten.
Hmm, well-fed and well-rested, round belly, fluffy fur all over, nothing seems wrong.
I want to go out with you!
Tang Qing screamed madly in his heart.
As a pet who sleeps all day at home, how could he complete his mission? While the villain was out there destroying the world, he’d still be at home sleeping, being completely useless. He must stick close to the teenager, only then could he change the trajectory of the teenager’s fate at a critical moment.
“I’m going to school, Tang Tang.” The young man’s voice was cold and elegant, but not impatient.
Tang Qing firmly clung to Fu Yixuan’s clothes, sticking to him like an octopus. His round cat eyes blinked cutely, very adorable.
The young man finally understood the kitten’s intention and asked helplessly, “Do you want to come to school with me?”
Yes, yes, yes! The kitten nodded vigorously.
Following the young man’s sleeve, Tang Qing climbed up from his wrist all the way to his pocket, nestling in comfortably.
The black-haired teenager hesitated for a moment.
Such a small kitten, leaving it alone at home, who knows if it will run around and get stuck in some nook or cranny. Maybe it will fall into the bowl while drinking milk, eat too much and get bloated, catch a cold from the wind, or get stuck in a gap in the table…
His own cat seems to be more clingy than other people’s cats, right?
And maybe a bit sillier too?
Oh well, let’s bring it along.

Fu Yixuan: What can I do with such a silly wife at home? I can only spoil him.
Tang Tang: Only the first day at home and already snooping around… Isn’t that too much?
