(Note: Mu Ziang 慕子昂 came back with his full name written here haha)
Si Junduo stressed further, “That’s it? You like this kind!?”
Wen Mingyi nodded silently. “It’s pretty good. People like Mu-ge are easy to get along with.”
Si Junduo: ….
Si Junduo began to reflect on which step in his teachings had a problem that resulted in Wen Mingyi’s aesthetics being so biased. His teachings have been correct. The error must have risen in the three years when Wen Mingyi had left him. He was sure of it. Education was indeed the responsibility of parents, not of schools. If one was even a tiny bit careless, they would grow crooked.1Literal raws: Children should grow under the uppermost skin. 孩子得放在皮子底下成长 2Also, from Vez: How to grow bonsai.info
Si Junduo reflected as he drove all the way back to the hotel.
Meanwhile, Wen Mingyi was happily chatting with Mu Ziang. Si Junduo looked at them. He felt that rather than him being Wen Mingyi’s brother, Mu Ziang was more like Wen Mingyi’s brother!
Lin Mu had already booked a room for Mu Ziang in the hotel. It was right next to Si Junduo’s. Mu Ziang walked with Wen Mingyi towards his room as they talked and laughed. Then he broke out into a grin because Wen Mingyi and Si Junduo entered the room next to him together!
Mu Ziang quickly squeezed in. Si Junduo questioned, “What are you doing entering here?”
Mu Ziang looked at him. “Then what are you doing entering here?”
“This is my room.”
“So do you two have something to say?” He looked at Wen Mingyi and asked tactfully.
Wen Mingyi shook his head. “This is also my room.”
Mu Ziang: …
Mu Ziang felt that his heart was so tired. He pointed out, “You two sleep in the same room?”
“You have something to say?”
“No, nothing. Just thinking it’s alright but not necessary.” Mu Ziang tried to remind him, “Your room is the same, a standard double room right?”
“So young and your memory has already degraded. I told you about it just now, and still you ask.”
Was this about a fucking memory issue?! This was what this laozi was expressly reminding you, you blockhead!
“Junduo, Ming Ming is an adult now. He has the right to stay in a room by himself.”
“It’s not necessary,” Si Junduo refused.
“Why is it unnecessary? Have you seen any family’s brothers sleeping on the same bed when they are adults?”
“They’re blood-related brothers.”
“Childhood friends are considered like that too! Zhuo Ran went out and he didn’t stay in a big bedroom together either!”
“Then you can try it next time.”
Mu Ziang: …
“Is there anything else? If there’s nothing more, then leave. I’m going to sleep.” The chilly Si Junduo drove him away.
Mu Ziang didn’t know what to say further either. With a wave, he said goodbye.
Wen Mingyi took a look around. That was close. It was 8.50pm. Actually, he agreed with what Mu Ziang said. But the problem was that he became a cat after nine o’clock. If he stayed in a room by himself, it would be troublesome. But this reason was destined to be impossible to divulge to Mu Ziang. Hence, it could only be this way.
After telling Si Junduo that he’d take a shower, he quickly ran back to the room and changed his clothes.
Si Junduo ‘en’-ed. A while later, he heard a few cat calls and scratching sounds from the bathroom. Si Junduo walked over, opened the door, and saw the little orange cat soaked all over, looking at him pitifully.
It seemed that he’d turned into a cat when he was halfway through his shower.
“Finished bathing?” Si Junduo asked.
Wen Mingyi shook his head, looking very aggrieved.
So Si Junduo picked up the little orange cat on the ground and began to bathe him.
After the bath was done, Si Junduo hugged him to blow his fur dry and heard a knock on the door.
He turned off the hair dryer. Walking over to open the door, he saw Mu Ziang standing outside.
“You need something?”
“After thinking about it, I still think I want to talk to you,” Mu Ziang admitted.
After he returned to his room, the more he thought about it, the more he felt he was correct. After sending Zhuo Ran several WeChat messages, he suppressed his inner thoughts and decided to talk to Si Junduo about Wen Mingyi instead.
He couldn’t help it, Mu Ziang thought. He was simply kind! Kind! Upright! Friendly! Enthusiastic! And righteous! Si Junduo was lucky to meet this great person3Wen Mingyi in his life! Simply too lucky!
However, the lucky Si Junduo was incredibly indifferent at the moment. “Let’s talk about it tomorrow. I’m sleepy.”
“It’s only after 9pm. Why are you sleepy? At this time, you’re usually either rushing for work or preparing to rush for work!” Mu Ziang declared, pushing him to the side and preparing to enter.
A pity Si Junduo guarded the door. “Ming Ming has fallen asleep. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
“He’s sleeping so early?” Mu Ziang was surprised.
“Well, these two days have been hard on him.”
Mu Ziang heard this and didn’t force it anymore. “Then you come to my room. It so happens that what I want to say to you isn’t suitable for Ming Ming to hear.”
At once, Wen Mingyi’s ears perked up. Whatever words weren’t suitable for him to listen to, he definitely must listen to.
Hence Wen Mingyi used his cat legs and in a few steps ran over to Si Junduo’s side. He raised his small round face to look at Mu Ziang. Speak. I will also listen.
Mu Ziang looked at the orange cat that suddenly appeared, and was surprised. He blinked in disbelief again and again. He stared at Si Junduo in shock. “Why is there a cat in your room? You’re raising a cat!?”
Si Junduo: ….
Si Junduo sensed a headache coming. He knew why Wen Mingyi came over this time. Was he usually this sharp otherwise?
Mu Ziang bent over to hug the little orange cat, but was blocked off by Si Junduo.
“It’s late. Tell me tomorrow.” Si Junduo rubbed against the cat in his arms.
Wen Mingyi was dissatisfied, meowing non-stop. Don’t, don’t talk behind his back. Let Mu Ziang speak! Say it now!
Mu Ziang was meng-ed by the cat and he declared without any integrity left, “You let me hug the cat a little, then I’ll say it tomorrow.”
Si Junduo looked at him contemptuously. “Personal belonging. Forbidden to touch.”
“Dear brother, don’t be so stingy. We should share blessings and difficulties. Cats have to be shared too!”
Without faltering, Si Junduo rejected him, “Private property is sacred and inviolable. That includes cats.”
Mu Ziang: …
Wen Mingyi realized that Mu Ziang lost the conversation. He prepared to climb out of Si Junduo’s arms. Come, Mu-ge, I’ll let you hug. Tell me what you want to say to my dear brother.
Si Junduo could feel Wen Mingyi trying to wriggle out of his arms and he instantly hugged him tighter. “Be good, don’t move.”
“See, even your own cat doesn’t want you to hold it, wants me instead. Loosen your grasp,” Mu Ziang accused.
Wen Mingyi followed and stretched out his two paws. Hurry, Mu-ge. Hug me and spill the beans!
However, Si Junduo held back his paws mercilessly, and his gaze at Mu Ziang was as if looking at a traitor. “You still have time to leave.”
Mu Ziang: …
Mu Ziang felt that Si Junduo’s authority as the owner was being challenged, hence that look that stated he was an adulterer. It seemed that he could only retreat first. He bid farewell, intending to talk about Wen Mingyi another day.
Wen Mingyi heard Mu Ziang saying, “Then I’ll head back first! See! You!” and left. The cat’s face was full of longing as his paws stretched out into Erkang’s hands4
.
Come back, Mu-ge! What were you trying to say! Everything can be told! Do you not know that curiosity will kill a cat!
As soon as Mu Ziang left, the corridor was left utterly empty. Ming Ming, the cat, dropped his Erkang’s hand, feeling as though he had been killed by his curious heart.
He was now a dead cat. A cat with no soul.
Si Junduo calmly watched his cat perform a pantomime behind Mu Ziang’s back. He closed the door then asked Wen Mingyi, “Why, you still miss your Mu-ge?”
Wen Mingyi lifted his head up. He only wanted to know what Mu Ziang wanted to say to him. What did he have to say behind his back!
Si Junduo looked at his innocent cat and squeezed his little paws to teach him a lesson. “Asking others to hug you in front of me. Ming Ming, you’ve gotten braver!”
Wen Mingyi: …
Wen Mingyi purposely sold meng. “Meow?”
However, Si Junduo was already immune. He went and sat down on the sofa, looking at the docile and lovely little cat. He asked, “The cheating scumbag should be beaten. What about a cheating scum cat?”
Wen Mingyi: …Of course to be forgiven! Cats are so cute, how can one hit cats! Cat abuse is illegal!
Si Junduo kneaded his ear. “Don’t you usually like to write? Why don’t you write this time? Huh, scum cat?”
Wen Mingyi could only raise his head and rub against Si Junduo’s palm, softly responding before licking his jaw.
Si Junduo poked his head. Wen Mingyi rubbed against his fingers, trying to sell meng, being so behaved that it tickled the heart.
In the end, Si Junduo just amused himself. After enough teasing, he kneaded the cat and laughed lightly, poking Wen Mingyi’s head and said, “No more.”
Wen Mingyi nodded. Next time, I will talk about it next time, meow.
In the morning, Mu Ziang sent a WeChat message to Si Junduo bright and early, asking if he was up and if they wanted to have breakfast together.
Si Junduo looked at a cat-eared Wen Mingyi. He could only coldly reject his friend’s offer: You eat first. We’ll be eating later.
Mu Ziang stared at the screen mobile phone. Really? He remembered that among his friends, Si Junduo was the first to get up. What could explain why Mu Ziang was awake already but not Si Junduo? As expected, work really could make people exhausted!
Wen Mingyi and Si Junduo had their meal in the room, waiting for the cat ears and tail to be gone, before leaving together. They met with Mu Ziang along the way who was returning after breakfast.
“Let’s go,” Si Junduo offered, “We’ll send you back.”
Mu Ziang nodded. Wen Mingyi stared at him with a meaningful gaze.
Being stared at, Mu Ziang was somewhat uncomfortable. He lowered his head and looked at his clothes. He was sure that there was no problem. “Ming Ming, why are you staring? Is there anything on me?”
“Nothing,” Wen Mingyi answered. “It’s just that I’m heading to the film set. Mu-ge, do you not have anything you wanna say?”
Mu Ziang thought for a while. Thinking Wen Mingyi wanted blessings, he cheered Wen Mingyi on, “Film well, you can do it!”
Wen Mingyi: …
It seemed he didn’t want to tell him. So what exactly was Mu Ziang going to tell Si Junduo behind his back?
Si Junduo sent Wen Mingyi to the set, and then drove Mu Ziang back.
Mu Ziang leaned back in his seat. The traffic was in front and he said lazily, “Everyday you drive this car over and then you drive back to work. Aren’t you tired?”
“Tired,” Si Junduo said lightly.
“Feeling annoyed too?”
“What did you want to say?” Si Junduo asked. “Last night you told me you had something to say and didn’t want Ming Ming to hear. What is it?”
Mu Ziang leaned forward and looked at his profile. “You stop the car first. I’m afraid you’ll be too agitated, killing two lives!”
Si Junduo glanced at him and he stopped the car by the roadside.
“Speak.”

The author has something to say:
There is no blood relationship between Gong and Shou. Occasionally saying “Ge” is just because Gong is older, they are childhood friends.
Alas, I’m tired of saying that there is no blood relationship, but Jinjiang (the online publisher website) wants to hear it, so I have to satisfy them.

Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
Wait!!! There is something wrong with the text Author-sama!!! WM turned into a cat while bathing, so there should be not clothes. It should be same as well when he turns back into a human in the morning….So author-sama, why did you neglect to write such an exciting as well as embarrassing scene??!?!?!?!
I was thinking about that too! Clenching my hand into an arthur fist lamenting the missed opportunity of gege’s little junior rising because of a certain sexy someone to wake up to, I often think that SJ’ll develop a cat boy kink from WM LMAO
Hahahaha! Mu Ziang out here doing a fangirl’s work. RIP! lololz
