Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Your Home is Already Mine
Several minutes later, the girl's home was reached.
The girl felt a bit odd inside. Weren't cats supposed to be aloof creatures that usually disliked socializing?
Yet, the large orange cat sitting on her bike basket was meowing nonstop as if injected with a dose of excitement.
It looked just like a baby, muttering to itself.
"Kitty, my name is Lin Siyin, and we're going to live together from now on!"
Lin Siyin gave Lu Zixun a sweet smile.
She almost made Lu Zixun's nose bleed with sweetness.
"So… so cute!"
Of course, Lin Siyin had no idea what Lu Zixun was thinking.
As he entered the three-bedroom apartment, a rich scent of books assaulted him.
There was none of that garish air one finds in the homes of the wealthy.
The word "elegant" came to mind.
Lu Zixun darted to the center of the living room and looked up to see a portrait hanging on the wall, that of a young woman.
"Where did you go, little kitty?"
Lin Siyin hurried in and saw that Lu Zixun's gaze was fixed on the portrait, her expression darkened, "That's a picture of my mom, she died when I was very young."
"Beep—Heartbreak Points detected +500."
Sorry!
Lu Zixun jumped onto Lin Siyin's shoulder and gently stroked her hair.
"It looks like her mom had a strong impact on her, to give so many Heartbreak Points..."
"It's okay."
Lin Siyin smiled faintly, "My dad is often not at home, I used to be quite lonely, but now that I have you, I won't be anymore."
Such an emotional girl.
"Beep—Heartwarming Value detected +100."
"This works too?"
Lu Zixun scowled, jumped off her shoulder, and following the scent, ran to her room.
Like any other girl, her room was pretty and pink.
A poster that looked like a martial arts star was pasted over the bed, and many books were arranged around the desk.
Lu Zixun jumped onto the desk, his eyes fixed on the mirror in the center.
Looking at the large orange cat that suddenly appeared in the mirror, Lu Zixun surveyed himself and nodded in satisfaction.
Even as a cat, he still retained his charm.
Look at this handsome little mustache, those cute big eyes!
But…
Lu Zixun looked at his round body and felt a vague sadness, this physique seemed a bit fat.
However, it didn't matter, everything was 'Da Ju' first!
While indulging in self-admiration, Lu Zixun suddenly caught a whiff of cooking from the kitchen.
The aroma made Lu Zixun jump off the table and follow its direction.
"Miss can actually cook? She will probably be a wonderful homemaker in the future…"
Lin Siyin was cooking in the kitchen, having just called her dad who, as usual, was on duty at the school.
Lin Siyin's father, Lin Beisheng, was the principal of a private school.
Conservative and serious, dedicated to his work, and held high hopes for his daughter.
Recently facing an assessment from the Ministry of Education, Lin Beisheng wanted to climb higher in his position to better assist his daughter, who would soon be taking college entrance exams.
So, he hardly spent any time at home.
However, it didn't lead to loneliness for Lin Siyin, after all, her dad was doing it for her good.
Perhaps it was this positive and optimistic attitude towards life that enabled Lin Siyin to adopt this not-so-fat orange cat.
During dinner.
While eating, Lin Siyin patted the Orange Cat's head and said, "From now on, you'll live with me, how about I call you Fat Meow?"
Lu Zixun gave her a glance.
So effeminate! No way, how could he, Lu Zixun, have such a sissy name?
Lu Zixun shook his head clearly, showing his disagreement.
But Lin Siyin obviously didn't consider Lu Zixun's feelings and just kept talking.
"Okay, then I'll call you Fat Meow from now on!"
Lin Siyin withdrew her hand, looking very pleased.
"I'm really unhappy!!!"
"Meow——!!!"
Lu Zixun, expressing his speechlessness at Lin Siyin's childish behavior, retaliated by reaching out his cat paw and touching... Lin Siyin's not-so-well-developed "mountain."
If Lu Zixun were still a human at this moment, Lin Siyin probably would have called the police by now.
"Umm… Since I'm a cat, she can't accuse me of molestation, and it's quite comfortable."
"Ding—Joy value detected +300."
"The lady is actually happy!"
Lu Zixun was somewhat surprised.
Since when could even chest attacks make humans so happy?
...
In the evening, Lu Zixun quickly finished the remaining food in his small bowl and then listlessly left the dining table.
Although the food Lin Siyin made was delicious, Lu Zixun always felt it was a bit off for his taste.
As night fell quickly like ink covering the entire city, Lin Siyin finished her last weekly journal and then carried Lu Zixun to the bathroom to bathe.
Of course, it wasn't one person and one cat washing together; Lin Siyin bathed Lu Zixun first.
"Meow~! Meow——!"
As is common knowledge, though cats are liquid, they are also extremely afraid of water.
Even though as a human, Lu Zixun shouldn't be afraid.
But somehow, when approaching the basin, Lu Zixun still felt scared.
"Oh dear, Fat Meow, don't move around so much, you're splashing the water!"
"Ding—anger value detected +250."
While splashing around, Lu Zixun cursed the system in his mind, asking who the heck was 250!
I, this Meow, clearly have an IQ as high as 280, an intelligent cat breed, all right!
"Ding—System friendly reminder, 250 is not stupid, 280 is the pinnacle of stupidity."
After some frantic struggle, Lu Zixun finally overcame his fear of water and quietly took his bath.
However, Lin Siyin, because of Lu Zixun moving around, got her clothes wet from the splashes, that sight... tsk tsk tsk...
Although he couldn't enjoy a bath with his cute lady owner, having enjoyed the personal service of his lady owner, Lu Zixun was still very happy.
Not to mention those great perks constantly in front of his eyes, ah~ feeling no regrets in this cat life!
After the bath, Lu Zixun's fur was dried by Lin Siyin, and he was carried to the warm comfort of the bed.
And Lin Siyin herself went back to the bathroom to start a new round of washing.
"Wow... so, human beds are indeed more comfortable, I truly miss it..."
Lu Zixun sprawled upside-down on Lin Siyin's girly bed, closed his eyes, and soon fell deeply asleep.
"Click…"
Lin Siyin, wrapped in a bath towel, opened the door to her bedroom and almost laughed out loud inadvertently.
She saw the Orange Cat she had picked up today, showing his belly and sleeping so sweetly on her bed.
"Let's sleep together, Fat Fat Meow!"
"Ding—Heartwarming Value detected +200."
Lin Siyin gently pulled up the blanket, placed Lu Zixun at her pillowside, and also sank into a deep sleep.
