Chapter 45: Jiuye’s Commission
“Lady Die, your expression looks strange…” Jiuye, holding a large cardboard box, walked past Luo Shuangyue and noticed that his revered Lady Die seemed a bit troubled.
No, it couldn’t be said that she was troubled; it looked more like she was having a hard time understanding something.
A glance downward revealed that Lady Die had changed into a new pair of shoes today, which looked a bit uncomfortable for walking.
Having known Lady Die for so long, Jiuye was well aware of her habits and preferences; these shoes, which were unsuitable for movement, were definitely not her favorite.
“Nothing, you continue with your work,” Luo Shuangyue said, pressing her forehead and closing her eyes, helplessly trying to send Jiuye away.
Having met with the childhood sweetheart once in the capacity of the villain, and then exchanged shoes, this kind of thing was a bit beyond Luo Shuangyue’s experience.
To clarify, she wasn’t a foot fetishist; at most, she would look at those things with a critical mindset.
So, she shouldn’t care so much about exchanging shoes; the ones she gave to Xia Mo weren’t valuable, just cheap goods bought from the local market.
She had even profited from the exchange.
But just thinking about wearing Xia Mo’s shoes made her heart feel a little restless, as if some inexplicable feeling was swirling within her.
It felt somewhat like… secret delight?
“Alright…” Jiuye elongated his voice, set the cardboard box aside, and then took out two photobooks from inside.
Bang!
One of the books placed beside Luo Shuangyue’s hand made a heavy sound that couldn’t help but cause her to open her eyes.
What was this weak little kitty doing?
Glancing at the cover of the photobook, Luo Shuangyue saw a lion cat with seductive eyes.
It seemed this photobook likely contained nothing but animals.
“Lady Die, could you help me with a favor?” Jiuye asked with an embarrassed expression, his two cat tails swaying behind him.
“You do know I’m the lady, right? It’s not very fitting for a subordinate to ask a lady for help.” Luo Shuangyue sneered coldly.
Lowering his head and counting on his fingers, Jiuye murmured quietly, “Because Lady Die is a very kind and great lady in my eyes…”
Oh, flattering, huh? I didn’t expect this little guy to have such tricks. Luo Shuangyue shot a glance at Jiuye, and although she knew most of what he said was likely false, she still felt quite pleased to be regarded in such a manner.
“Alright, tell me, what do you want me to help with?”
“Well, this photobook was made by me and a friend, but as you know, Lady Die, I can’t just go out looking like this.” Jiuye’s ears drooped against his head, clearly showcasing his low spirits.
“So, you want me to help you deliver this to your friend?”
“Yes, yes!”
Seeing Jiuye’s pleading expression, Luo Shuangyue actually didn’t want to agree to this request.
But when a cute catgirl looks at you like that, Luo Shuangyue ultimately couldn’t bring herself to refuse Jiuye.
Sigh… letting out a sigh in her heart, Luo Shuangyue pulled the photobook closer to herself, “Where is your friend?”
Forget it, let’s treat it as a little outing.
……
A friend who could work on a cat photobook with Jiuye must have an immense love for cats.
When Luo Shuangyue arrived at the friend’s house according to the address Jiuye provided, she found out that it was actually a cat café.
As soon as she pushed open the front door, she was surrounded by countless cats, their various meows making her feel like her head was about to explode.
Weren’t cats supposed to be aloof and not friendly? Why were these cats more clingy than dogs!
“Sorry, sorry, these kids haven’t seen new guests in a long time; they’re a bit too excited.” A girl wearing a brown cat ear headband hurriedly rushed over from behind the counter, rescuing Luo Shuangyue from the sea of cats.
“I am the manager of this café. What can I assist you with, customer?”
Leading Luo Shuangyue to a section with relatively fewer cats, the girl smiled and inquired about her needs.
“I’m looking for a girl named Xiaomimi; a friend of hers asked me to bring this to her.” Luo Shuangyue pulled out the thick cat photobook from her backpack.
Upon hearing Luo Shuangyue’s words, the manager’s eyes flashed with surprise, and when she saw the photobook Luo Shuangyue took out, her eyes instantly lit up.
“I am Xiaomimi! You must be Miss Die that Jiuye mentioned!” Xiaomimi’s face instantly burst into a bright smile. She opened her phone to show Luo Shuangyue the chat log with Jiuye, the latest message being Jiuye telling her he had asked a good friend to bring the photobook over.
After confirming identities, Luo Shuangyue handed the photobook to Xiaomimi and intended to get up and leave.
But the enthusiastic Xiaomimi insisted that Jiuye’s friend was now her friend, and since she had brought such a precious photobook, she had to treat her well!
“Miss Die, wait for me! Let me prepare a special cat coffee for you!” Hugging the photobook, Xiaomimi turned and dashed toward the counter, not forgetting to call back to Luo Shuangyue, “It’s really delicious! Miss Die, you can trust me!”
“Miss Die… How did that guy Jiuye come up with such a name for me?” What Luo Shuangyue found most to complain about was still Jiuye’s way of addressing her.
While she could understand why Jiuye called her that, she felt that the name didn’t quite match her identity as a heartless villain!
Miss Die sounded weak and delicate, totally lacking strength.
