29 – The Cat Accomplished Great Things
“What’s wrong, Brother Zhi? Why do you look so worried?”
At night, in a packed milk tea shop, Chen Tingting daintily sipped her drink, pretending to be a lady.
“Someone is causing trouble.” Shi Lezhi’s fingers were interlocked, supporting his head, and he looked very heavy-hearted.
“Causing trouble? What kind of trouble?”
Hearing Chen Tingting’s light-hearted tone, Shi Lezhi couldn’t help but slam the table in anger. “The people I called over are now all in custody. What other trouble could there be?”
At that moment, the other customers in the shop turned their attention to them; some even pulled out their phones, eager to watch the drama unfold, and no one intervened.
“Brother Zhi, did I say something wrong? I’m sorry…” Chen Tingting’s hands went weak, and the milk tea she was holding fell to the ground.
“Ha… it’s fine, Tingting, this has nothing to do with you.” Shi Lezhi took a few deep breaths and calmed down before sitting back down.
“Mm…”
“That girl with white hair has a group of sycophants protecting her, and they beat up my people.” Shi Lezhi tightened his fists as he spoke.
“That’s ridiculous! When did she become so famous?” Chen Tingting was equally shocked, her beautiful eyes widening, filled with envy.
“I find it puzzling too; it’s almost twenty people, all there to help her. Most likely, that girl offered them some perks, or they wouldn’t be so loyal.”
“Don’t worry, Tingting, I’m not that kind of person. I like innocent girls like you, not those flirtatious ones.” Shi Lezhi pulled Chen Tingting’s petite, soft body into his embrace.
“Uh.” Chen Tingting felt a bit resistant but was no match for the strength of an adult male, so she obediently tucked herself in.
“By the way, the leader seems to be from your class. What’s his name again… oh, Zhang De-yi.”
“Mm?!” Upon hearing the name, Chen Tingting was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“You know him, Tingting?”
“No, no, I just see him in class occasionally; we’ve never spoken.” Chen Tingting quickly denied it, fearing Shi Lezhi would find out what she was doing in class.
“I see. My Tingting is so shy, how could she casually talk to boys?”
“Do you know which building his dorm is in?” Shi Lezhi had a sly expression on his face.
“It’s in the class group chat; why do you ask?”
“Let me see.”
…….
…….
As night grew deeper and the moon was obscured by clouds, the surrounding campus fell into darkness.
The once noisy street had turned deserted at this hour.
This scene made it feel like going outside would likely result in being robbed.
“…”
“Meow.”
Su Yunzi didn’t know how long she had been asleep, but a series of sharp meows woke her up.
Still groggy, she opened her eyes but could only see a black-and-white environment, the usual darkness perceived by an average person.
However, as she shifted her gaze downward slightly, she suddenly spotted a pair of glowing green eyes staring back at her.
In this quiet, empty room, the green glow stood out starkly.
“Ah!?” Su Yunzi was instantly startled awake and jumped off the bed as if propelled.
“I’ll tell you, I’m very strong now; I’m not afraid of you!”
“Meow~”
In response to Su Yunzi’s exaggerated voice, only a soft cat meow came back.
“Hmm?”
“…” Su Yunzi slowly lowered her paws from in front of her, confused as she rubbed her eyes, finally realizing what she was looking at.
Before her sat an orange cat, which jumped off her bed and walked over to her side.
Even without the light, she could see it clearly.
“Meow…” The orange cat bit at the white socks on her feet.
With her sleepiness fading, Su Yunzi noticed the black-and-white sky outside the window and realized it must be late.
If the cat hadn’t called her, she would have surely slept soundly until dawn.
Annoyed for a moment, she calmed down, thinking it was just a cat.
“What’s wrong?” After a while, the cat continued to chew at her socks.
It kept pulling towards the door, as if wanting to lead her somewhere.
“You want me to follow you?”
“Meow~” The orange cat looked up at Su Yunzi as it meowed.
It can understand me, right?
Then, before her eyes, the orange cat jumped onto the doorknob and, with a leap, pushed the door open.
Su Yunzi was shocked by this scene.
She slowly followed the cat’s lead, still processing her earlier surprise.
“Click… creak…”
“?” Just as she stepped out of the bedroom, Su Yunzi heard an unusual sound.
It came from the front door.
The cat stopped meowing and turned to look at Su Yunzi.
Did that cat discover something it wanted to tell her?
Without allowing herself to be shocked again, Su Yunzi cautiously approached the front door, now hearing the strange noise more clearly.
It sounded like the doorknob was being turned, along with some unknown metallic scraping noise.
“Who!?” She found the courage to call out loudly to the door.
“Thud…” Soon, hurried footsteps sounded from outside, growing quieter until they disappeared.
Someone was out there trying to steal in the middle of the night?
Su Yunzi’s heart raced; she only relaxed once she confirmed the noise had truly stopped.
If someone had entered at night and there was only one girl in the room, that would be terrifying.
Just thinking about it scared her.
“Thank you.” Realizing something, Su Yunzi crouched down to pet the orange cat.
“Meow~” The cat chirped happily at the head pats.
“Click.” After a while, Su Yunzi stood up and tried to turn the doorknob.
It felt a bit loose.
The sensation was off, lacking the previous resistance.
Summoning her courage, Su Yunzi opened the door.
Her eyes widened when she saw that the exterior half of the doorknob was missing, leaving only a hollow gap.
“Wow, what the heck.” Su Yunzi was taken aback and couldn’t help but curse.
With no other choice, she could only call the landlord so late at night.
Seeing that Su Yunzi was a young girl, the landlord sent someone to let her stay at their home for the night.
The landlord’s home had no one else except for a few-month-old baby who couldn’t talk, making the many vacant rooms appear quite lonely.
After speaking with the landlord, the orange cat vanished without a trace.
……
……
The next day, the landlord discovered that the person was actually someone who had stayed there before, which is why they had the keys to the front door.
As a result, the landlord arranged for the front door to be replaced with an automatic lock and changed all the keys for the entire building to new yellow cards.
As for whether that thief would be caught, the building’s surveillance only showed a person wearing a hood, making it unclear, and it had to be passed on to the police to check the outside cameras.
Su Yunzi returned to her home, the door fixed.
Now it was already noon the next day.
She wondered why that thief specifically targeted her place.
After all, she was on the 11th floor.
Su Yunzi shook her head, attributing it to her bad luck.
Sitting on the edge of her bed, she opened her phone and saw new pictures in the fan group.
This time, she didn’t see any ‘Snow White’ images, just a bunch of guys gathered around a dining table eating, all looking quite happy.
After some scrolling, she learned that this was a celebratory banquet they had hosted yesterday for catching the people who tried to slander their goddess.
(It’s the first time I feel this excited, like being the male lead in a comic)
(I hope every day could be like this)
(Don’t speak recklessly)
(Sorry, I misspoke; such things are best avoided!)
A group of over ten people quickly took down the bad guys who tarnished a girl’s reputation, which was exhilarating for these hot-blooded youths in their teenage years.
Su Yunzi felt grateful reading their conversation.
It was amazing that someone would be willing to do such things for her.
If she were a girl, she would definitely marry them off, but wait, it seems like she really is a girl now…
Let’s not think about that.
Su Yunzi felt a bit better.
However, thinking about having to meet Qin Xue later made her feel unsure about how to face her.
Actually, after a good sleep, Su Yunzi wasn’t so sentimental anymore.
Even if Qin Xue only thought she was fun, she could just go along with it, especially since they were being paid so much and didn’t really have to do anything against their principles.
