Chapter 5: To Suffer □□ (1)

Wen Cheng didn’t know when he fell asleep.

When he woke up, Wen Cheng found himself lying in the basket with a thin blanket covering his body. He wiped his face with his soft paws and then poked his head out of the basket.

To his surprise, Yu Linfei had put him on the bed.

Wasn’t Yu Linfei obsessed with cleanliness? The moment he saw the white bedspread, Wen Cheng felt inexplicably cold in his heart. Did Yu Linfei only care about cleanliness in front of him, or did he only feel dirty and uncomfortable when he saw him??

Haha… It turned out that only once he’d died and reincarnated into a cat could he see clearly. How the people around him were, one may know a person for a long time without understanding their true nature. It was hard to paint tiger skin onto the bone. (2) He didn’t understand how the people around him thought of him until he had died.

Moreover, Wen Cheng had always remembered that Yu Linfei had once sent his cat away because of his allergy to cat fur. Though he didn’t know where he had sent it, Wen Cheng clearly remembered what he had said at that time. Yu Linfei looked at Wen Cheng’s red spots from his allergy and smiled, “It’s okay. I’ve sent him away.”

Hearing this sentence, Wen Cheng hesitated for a moment, but Yu Linfei’s next words let Wen Cheng stop thinking. Yu Linfei had said, “It’s just a cat. Don’t be so serious.”

So Wen Cheng wasn’t as serious.

But the result of being not as serious was that he eventually died by his lover’s hand. Did he get reborn as a cat in order to find his own cause of death?? Wen Cheng took a sniff, then carefully stuck out one of his little paws.

Yu Linfei’s bed was very big, as the little Wen Cheng found when he struggled out of the basket. When he looked back, he saw a scene that stunned him.

Yu Linfei was sleeping.

His clear, handsome face was unusually peaceful because he was asleep. Though he didn’t have on his warm and elegant smile, there was a sense of authenticity. It was like a wizard who had stripped off all masks; obviously, there was no magic, but he could still tempt innocent passersby.

Saying that he felt nothing would be a lie. Wen Cheng stood beside Yu Linfei and walked forward a few steps. Approaching the seemingly sleeping Yu Linfei, he quietly reached out a paw…

Then Wen Cheng withdrew his paw as he met a pair of clear eyes.

“Did the kitten wake up?” No emotions could be seen in the black eyes, but the alert eyes made Wen Cheng shiver.

“Don’t grind your claws as you wish at home.” Like he was patiently guiding a child who’d done something wrong, Yu Linfei reached out and pinched the skin behind Wen Cheng’s neck, bringing Wen Cheng to him. “If I find you grinding your claws randomly…”

He held Wen Cheng’s front paw with his other hand and showed his usual smile. “I’ll give Little Black’s paw a very thorough cut.”

Although he didn’t understand the difference between thorough cutting and casual cutting, his fur still instinctually puffed up. He mewed, his golden eyes filled with panic.

“So be obedient.” He sounded like he was joking as he sat up from the bed. Looking at Wen Cheng’s basket, he said, “If Little Black is obedient, this gege will treat Little Black very well.”

Not noticing when his name changed from Second Fluff to Little Black, Wen Cheng’s entire person (or cat?) was absent-minded. After he was put down on the bed by Yu Linfei, he let out a listless meow.

“Well, let’s give Little Black a place to stay and something to eat today.” Apparently having strongly interested Wen Cheng, Yu Linfei picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

“Please send me some stuff first. Yes, you’ve worked hard.” With one hand holding the phone and the other still petting the cat, Yu Linfei looked at We Cheng and smiled again. “Yes, it’s a kitten, breed? It seems to be a chinchilla cat, he’s very docile. En, haha, I’m still having some trouble. Okay, I’ll see you later.”

Hanging up on the unknown person on the phone, Yu Linfei brought his face closer to Wen Cheng’s bitter face. He used a finger to gently poke Wen Cheng’s forehead. “Don’t be unhappy, gege will get you something delicious.”

Hearing what was said, Wen Cheng suddenly thought that his future seemed bleak. Did he really have to live with Yu Linfei? Was he really going to be raised like a cat??

He didn’t give Wen Cheng much time to grieve over hurting spring and autumn. Yu Linfei put Wen Cheng into the basket again and grabbed his bathrobe to take a shower.

“Meow.” Wen Cheng was honest this time. He realized for the first time that he was truly a cat now, a little milk cat that others would want to have.

The woman in front of him was strange.

Her pretty face was painted with appropriately light makeup. She was wearing an authentic white-collar worker suit and held a large bag in her hands. It seemed that the bag was quite heavy, because a little sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.

“Ai, why did you deliver it?” Yu Linfei, holding the basket while opening the door, showed a look of disgust when he saw the person coming through the door. He soon covered it up with an elegant smile, taking the bag from the woman’s hand with a surprised yet gentlemanly tone of voice.

“Haha, I wanted to surprise you.” With Yu Linfei’s proximity, Wen Cheng didn’t miss the instant change in Yu Linfei’s expression. He lay in the basket and looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared. An idea came appeared in his head… did this woman like Yu Linfei and wanted to chase him??

“Oh, is this Little Black?” With a happy expression, the strange woman wanted to reach out and take the basket in Yu Linfei’s hands, but Yu Linfei suddenly avoided her.

“He Yi said Little Black is very weak and shy. I brought him to my house yesterday and there’s been trouble all night. I’m sorry Qin Xin, I’m afraid the cat is too small and could get sick.” His refusal wasn’t very smooth, but Yu Linfei still turned around and left like he wasn’t afraid of the woman’s anger.

“Haha, that’s fine. I haven’t had a cat, so I don’t know these things.” Though a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, she soon recovered with a smile. The woman named Qin Xin hurriedly closed the door and followed behind Yu Linfei.

“What did Teng Fengyu buy?” Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Yu Linfei didn’t seem to care to entertain her, instead searching through the bag. “Where’s the cat bed?”

“… The cat bed was too heavy, so I’ll send it to you next time.” Qin Xin didn’t seem to care about Yu Linfei’s coldness. She sat beside Yu Linfei without any reserve and watched him as he looked through the bag. “What kind of cat is it?”

“Chinchilla.” Seeing Wen Cheng with a curious expression in his eyes, Yu Linfei’s indifferent eyes softened a little. “Very cute, right?”

“Ah, it’s lovely, but why is the color black? How unlucky is black?” Qin Xin blurted out with a sense of inexplicable bitterness. “Besides, cats are the least attached to homes, you can’t know when they’ll run away. It’s better to have a dog…”

“I like cats.” Directly interrupting Qin Xin’s words, there was no smile on Yu Linfei’s face. “What can a dog do besides picking up bones behind a person’s butt, eating, and barking at strangers?”

“Haha…” She didn’t know what expression to make other than laughing. Qin Xin said, “If you like them, how did you suddenly now think of keeping a pet?”

“Bored.” After rummaging for a long time, Yu Linfei suddenly asked, “What’s this?”

“Oh, it’s a collar,” Qin Xin said with a glance at Yu Linfei’s hands. “Are you going to a veterinarian to get him vaccinated?”

“Yeah, in a few days.” Yu Linfei turned to Qin Xin and asked, “What do you want to drink?”

“Oh, tea will do.” She was surprised that Yu Linfei was actually in the mood to ask her what she wanted to drink. Qin Xin really didn’t want to believe that it was because of the little kitten in front of her.

“Just a moment,” Yu Linfei said to Qin Xin before getting up to go to the kitchen.

“… Cats.” Once Yu Linfei left, Qin Xin turned her eyes to the little black cat in the basket. It wasn’t very big, but it really made her… disgusted.

That’s right, Qin Xin hated this kind of fluffy creature from the bottom of her heart. Maybe it was based on childhood experiences, but if it wasn’t so disgusting, Qin Xin would even want to see them die!! And now Yu Linfei had a cat…

Biting the thin lips coated in gloss, Qin Xin shakily reached a hand out, trapped in a war between heaven and man… (3)

What did this woman want to do? Wen Cheng looked at the woman named Qin Xin reaching out to him. Of course, he didn’t miss the disgust and hatred in the woman’s eyes, but he didn’t believe that she would do something too extreme to him directly in front of Yu Linfei.

But Wen Cheng underestimated Qin Xin’s hatred of cats. His head was forced down, pressed into the mat of the basket by a trembling hand, and he had no choice but to… die again.

It was enough to change from a human being to a cat, but why must he experience such painful things after becoming a cat? The fragile body was unable to withstand the force exerted on it. Wen Cheng instinctively waved his claws and felt that her hand suddenly loosened a bit… Did he scratch her? But in the next moment, Wen Cheng lost hope again… the strength put on him once again returned and it even increased.

Just as the pain of suffocation was about to bury Wen Cheng.

He heard a voice like the coming of God from the heavens. Yu Linfei, who was supposed to be making tea in the kitchen, said, “Qin Xin, what are you doing?”

1. This word generally refers directly to death, defeat, illness, injury, etc.

2. Painting skin is disguising a monster’s true nature, so it’s hard to change that deep down is what it means.

3. Two sides are arguing in your mind. Think of an angel and a demon on your shoulders.
