Li Wan was scrolling through her phone, occasionally lifting her head to stealthily observe Chi Yan, only relaxing slightly when she confirmed he hadn’t noticed her.
Cola, fried chicken, and burger! Not a single one missing!!
Meow meow meow!!!
In fact, the unkind butler had always been strict with her about these things—probably because a kitten’s stomach is far more fragile than a human’s, and a small mistake could make her sick. That’s why Chi Yan never allowed her to eat these foods.
But it didn’t matter.
The little kitten had already secretly ordered them.
She didn’t believe that when the delivery arrived, the awful human would confiscate it and not let her have a single bite!!
Thinking about the delicious junk food made her even happier. Dressed in a short-sleeved top and shorts, she lay on Chi Yan’s bed, leaning forward, her porcelain-white thighs exposed, her calves swinging leisurely like the little kitten’s black-tipped tail.
She thought Chi Yan was completely unaware.
But in reality, every time she secretly lifted her head to watch him, he caught her in the act.
Still, he didn’t intervene.
Everything the little kitten was thinking was written clearly across her face.
That nervous expression, he wouldn’t believe it if someone told him it wasn’t about the small act of secretly ordering junk food.
He wasn’t some especially cruel person.
Now that the kitten had turned into a human, eating junk food was no longer as harmful as it had been before, so he wouldn’t fuss over it occasionally.
But he didn’t expose her either.
Simply put:
The little kitten being sneaky and mischievous was actually quite cute.
Even though she was maintaining a human form, her behavior made him think of that little snow-white kitten, peeking from under the table with those clear, heterochromatic eyes.
Cute.
Clumsy and silly.
Realizing she’d been caught by the human, she tried to hide her ears by pressing them down, but her head didn’t budge.
Chi Yan watched, a faint smile in his peach-blossom eyes, casually flipping a page of the script he hadn’t even been looking at.
Might as well play along. After all, the cat he raised was a bit dumb.
When the delivery arrived, the rider called him, followed by the staff, saying it would be delivered soon.
While he was on the phone, the girl on the bed kept scrolling through her phone hurriedly, though it was obvious she wasn’t paying any attention.
Chi Yan chuckled.
Soon the doorbell rang.
The little kitten clearly wanted to rush and snatch the food, but she was still partially rational, noticing his gaze and pretending to slowly bury her head in the blanket.
—Meow.
The little kitten was so obedient!
Chi Yan brought in the delivery and placed it on the coffee table. Watching that gluttonous little cat, a playful idea sprang to mind. He decided to tease her.
He raised an eyebrow, looking down at the bag of junk food, “You only ordered this?”
Li Wan’s body stiffened.
Cats are smart enough to know when to back down; instantly, she froze, slowly pressing herself deeper into the blanket as if to hide.
As if Chi Yan couldn’t see her, he couldn’t scold her.
“…”
This time, Chi Yan was genuinely amused, letting out a low chuckle. Finally, in an act of mercy, he said, “Alright. Go ahead and eat.”
“!!!”
The little kitten popped her head up instantly! Eyes sparkling like stars!
Chi Yan sighed, “It’s just an occasional treat. You’re not a cat anymore; I’m not going to be that strict.”
But the little kitten didn’t hear him at all. She rushed straight toward the delivery bag.
She seemed to forget that she was now human. Looking at her, it was impossible to doubt that inside her body was the soul of a kitten.
Chi Yan’s smile deepened.
Now he finally understood why people always recommend that emotionally troubled individuals get a pet.
Wuwuwu TAT!!
So delicious!!!
Back at her uncle’s house, Li Wan had to act mature, spend frugally, and use her uncle’s money sparingly to avoid displeasing him and reduce family quarrels.
But things were different with Chi Yan!!
Even though they weren’t related, Li Wan felt that her two-legger pet wouldn’t reject her just because she spent a bit more money!!
Besides!
This was the protection fee paid by the two-legger! The little kitten was working hard to protect him! Two-legger protection fees are deserved!
All this delicious food was hers!! Wuwuwuwu!!!
After a while, she finally realized something and looked up, meeting the deep peach-blossom eyes of her two-legger, filled with amusement.
For some reason, even though she had eaten many meals in front of Chi Yan before, she still felt a bit embarrassed now.
*Sobs*.
The little kitten could get shy too!
She thought for a moment and pushed the box of chicken wings toward the two-legger, “Meow.”
Then she realized, of course, that the two-legger couldn’t understand her cat language. Very considerately, he explained, “Here, for you.”
Chi Yan was about to refuse, but then heard the little kitten timidly add, “Um… I ordered too much.”
She can’t finish it all (●.●)
Chi Yan sighed, finally sitting on the sofa himself.
He hadn’t eaten such food in a long time.
After his biological mother abandoned him and he returned alone to his maternal home, his food had come only from kind neighbors’ handouts.
He had truly grown up on food given by others.
Many children had gone crazy for fast food in their childhood; before his family fell apart, he had been one of them.
But after that…
No matter how delicious something is, once it’s cold or spoiled, it won’t taste good.
But at that time, he had no choice.
Later, when he grew up and had the ability to work and support himself, and even later when he entered the entertainment industry and became a Movie Emperor, he never actively bought these kinds of food to eat again.
Not because he thought they tasted bad or were unhealthy. He had eaten far unhealthier things before.
It’s just that whenever he ate them, he would always remember the time when he was semi-homeless.
It was too miserable.
Even after becoming a world-renowned, admired Movie Emperor, he couldn’t bear to face those dark memories.
But now…
The lights were bright and warm, and on the other side of the coffee table, the girl’s heterochromatic eyes were clear and shining, a world apart from before.
The food was the same, the person was the same, only the place had changed.
One was heaven, the other, hell.
He picked up a piece of fried chicken with a disposable chopstick.
It wasn’t the cold, spoiled taste he remembered.
It smelled delicious, crispy on the outside and tender inside.
Even better with ketchup.
Up until now, Chi Yan realized for the first time that when you order fried chicken, you could actually dip it in ketchup yourself.
Oh, so that’s how it is.
The little cat was watching him cautiously from across the table. Seeing his expression was a bit odd, she tilted her head and whispered.
“What’s wrong?
“If you don’t like it, just leave it.”
This way, the little cat would have an excuse to eat it again tomorrow morning!!
Her eyes couldn’t help but glimmer with hope, but the merciless human seemed to see through her thoughts and kept taking piece after piece, eating happily.
Li Wan: *whimpering* QAQ
Even the original novel didn’t say that the villain liked junk food!
The room was so warm it made one want to sink into it, but in the hallway outside, the staff hadn’t returned to their quarters yet.
He was lost in thought.
Earlier, when he delivered takeout to Teacher Chi, he thought he had seen another… girl? Apart from Teacher Chi, in the room?
And she was wearing pajamas.
But…
This was during the variety show recording. Except for the cameras in the guests’ rooms being off, the rest of the villa was filled with cameras everywhere to accurately capture the movements of the guests and the animals—they were everywhere like a sieve!
No woman could possibly sneak past all the cameras and enter Teacher Chi’s room!
The staff member’s mind spun, thinking quickly, then jumped to another possibility.
The takeout he delivered earlier was from McDonald’s.
Was Teacher Chi also a McDonald’s devotee? Otherwise, why would he order McDonald’s in the middle of the night?!
But on second thought, that didn’t seem right.
With that face, Teacher Chi looked more like someone who belonged in a TV scene eating steak or French escargot—not McDonald’s delivery.
Ah…
It couldn’t possibly be a ghost, right?!
The thought sent chills down the staff member’s spine, making it feel as if a cold wind was blowing behind him.
He shivered and ran downstairs as fast as he could.
Too scary!!!
He whimpered, swearing never to work a night shift again!!
【Hahaha, the crew member saw something and ran away in horror?】
【Heh, I bet he was afraid of being assassinated by our Brother Chi.】
【Ah, but honestly…】
【I never would have imagined that someone like Brother Chi would really order junk food at midnight.】
【!!】
【Don’t insult my fried chicken and burgers!! Hail McDonald’s!】
Li Wan didn’t know how much of a stir her takeout had caused online.
The little cat didn’t sleep the same way humans do, with long, uninterrupted stretches of time. Since her human slept fitfully, the little cat, in cat form, generously stayed up with him for a while.
But when she woke, it still wasn’t daylight.
She leaned over and sniffed Chi Yan’s nose, confirming he was still asleep soundly. Feeling a bit bored, she padded over, nudged the room door open with her fluffy round head, and went out.
By now, the director and crew were already in position downstairs. Seeing Li Wan come down, the director opened a can for her and greeted her with a smile: “Good morning, Wanwan!”
The little cat flicked the tip of her dark tail and gave a small, cold, cat-only response, then went to sniff the cat bowl.
It smelled quite good.
But the little cat had eaten junk food last night, and compared to that, this aroma was nothing.
So she ate lazily, took two bites, then leapt two steps onto the cat tree, leaving the mortals below with a fluffy but unattainable back.
Following her downstairs was Zhou Jia.
Zhou Jia carried his rabbit, Yueya, yawning as he walked, looking rather amusing.
When feeding the rabbit some grass, he looked up and met a pair of heterochromatic eyes. The little cat was intently staring at the grass in the rabbit’s mouth, seemingly curious about its taste.
Zhou Jia’s interest piqued. “Haha, Wanwan wants some too?”
As he spoke, he actually pulled out a piece of grass from the rabbit’s mouth and held it out to Li Wan.
