Everyone started exclaiming in amazement.
Li Xiaoyun: “!! I knew Wanwan would be amazing!!”
Du Qingqing also clenched her fist, “Wanwan is so awesome!!!”
Zhou Jia hugged little Yueya tightly, “Yueya, Yueya, it’s fine, it won’t affect us sleeping on the streets QAQ.”
Only Fu Shilin’s gaze suddenly darkened, his eyes filled with jealousy as he clenched his fists!!
How could this be?! That guy Chi Yan is completely fake, he doesn’t look like the type of person small animals would like at all!!!
And besides—
That cat should have been his pet! If it hadn’t been for that bastard Chi Yan interfering, he would have been the one to win first place and take the spotlight!!!
He gritted his teeth, but since the cameras were still rolling, he forcibly suppressed the churning jealousy and disgust in his chest, squeezing out a stiff smile, “Wanwan is really amazing.”
【!!! Brilliant Wanwan!! Carrying Brother Chi to victory!!】
【Wanwan is really so lovable. Li Xiaoyun and Du Qingqing only just met her, but she’s already captured their hearts!!】
【Of course, pretty cats like to play with pretty people!】
【Hahahahaha omg look at Zhou Jia’s face, Zhou Jia and Yueya both look ready to run away from home!!!】
【You can’t blame him hahahahaha. Isn’t Zhou Jia the most pitiful in the whole show?】
【Right? At the start, when he heard the rules, his expression was like he wanted to hang himself on the spot hahahahaha!!!】
【Guys, is it just me, or does Fu Shilin not look very happy?】
【What’s there to be happy about? His first place got stolen.】
【He’s so petty. And his fans always try to leech off our Brother Chi’s fame, it’s disgusting.】
【Not a fan, but being fair: the director did say it was a competition. If you lose, isn’t it normal to not be happy?】
【Petty is petty. Don’t stop people from saying it, tsk tsk.】
The comment section blew up over this. The more fiercely they argued over such trivial matters, the higher the live stream’s popularity climbed. Naturally, the production team was more than happy to see it.
The competition ended, and the results were announced.
With only ten seconds, Li Wan—who had firmly chosen her human—was the undisputed first place. Second was Li Xiaoyun’s Da Huang. Third went to Fu Shilin’s Qiu Tian. Fourth was Du Qingqing’s Maine Coon, Xixi. And last, of course, was Zhou Jia and his rabbit Yueya, who had given up on competing.
Director : “You can start picking rooms now.”
But although they used the contest to decide the order, all the rooms were in the same villa and more or less the same quality. The show was on the relaxed side, no one was actually going to be sleeping out on the streets.
Zhou Jia looked at the pictures of the rooms and instantly sighed in relief, hugging Yueya as he let out a long breath.
“Thank you, production team. For this, I’m willing to accept a smaller appearance fee.”
Li Xiaoyun burst into laughter and pointed at the camera filming them, “Be careful, the director’s watching, Brother Zhou Jia.”
Zhou Jia quickly made a ‘zip-the-lips’ gesture, “Sorry, I take that back.”
【Hahahahahahahahaha】
【I see now, these two are the comedy duo of the show】
【Honestly, I never expected Li Xiaoyun to have this kind of personality. She always looks soft, gentle, and cute, but she’s actually really cheerful too】
【I love girls like this. I’m a fan now】
【Zhou Jia can really take a joke. Honestly, the contest wasn’t even fair to Yueya in the first place】
【Exactly, our Zhou Jia has such a great personality! Everyone, welcome aboard the fandom!!】
【Looks like only one person here can’t take losing】
【Shh! Stop mentioning it. If you keep talking, his fans are going to lose their minds!!】
【Shhh!】
【Keep your voices down. Is that really something to be proud of.jpg】
【So shameless hahahahaha】
【You don’t understand. A’Lin wanted first place so he could give the first pick of rooms to Du Qingqing】
【Waaah, he’s so in love!!】
【…】
【Why does my Qingqing keep getting dragged into this】
【Fu Shilin, can you stand on your own without tying yourself to our Qingqing
【+1, and stop trying to tie yourself to our Brother Chi too】
【No mirror at home? Or maybe just pee in one and see if you’re worthy】
【Loving the energy from the comment above】
The director signaled for the camera to turn to Chi Yan, letting him choose first.
Li Wan pushed her limp noodle-like body up with her hind legs, placing her front paws on the man’s knee.
“Meow, meow!”
—”Hurry up and pick already, useless two-legger.”
But she had only meowed twice when suddenly the scruff of her neck tightened. Someone had picked her up again.
“……”
She stubbornly met the man’s peach-blossom eyes. His gaze, however, had already returned to calm.
“I told you, you shed too much hair. Don’t rub against me.”
【！！The poor little kitten is way too wronged!!】
【Brother Chi, you—】
【Some two-legger must not! At least, they shouldn’t!!!】
Then pitiful little Li Wan was set down on the floor beside him. She lifted her small cat head and cried, “Meow, meow.”
—”Heartless human, hmph hmph hmph!”
Du Qingqing laughed at the sight. She already had one cat on her knees, so she gently set Xixi down, then waved at her, “Wanwan, come here, let Aunt give you a hug.”
Li Wan hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t resist the beautiful lady’s invitation. She hopped over in two quick bounds.
Xixi raised his eyes and gave her a disdainful glance.
Li Wan didn’t care, pretending she saw nothing, and curled up in the female lead Du Qingqing’s arms.
So comfy!!
Du Qingqing was nothing like her own heartless two-legger. Chi Yan didn’t really like cats. He would never take the initiative to scratch a kitten’s chin. But Du Qingqing did!
Under her skilled technique, Li Wan couldn’t help but start purring, her whole little kitten body going limp like a warm bun.
Du Qingqing adored her too, smiling with her brows and eyes arched. “Wanwan is so cute!”
Then she noticed her own Xixi’s gaze, and paused to explain to the kitten, “Mommy is just hugging her for a little while, okay?”
Xixi turned its head away and gave a light sneeze.
Hmph, foolish human!
It didn’t care who she hugged.
Chi Yan finally looked away as well, though in his mind still lingered the image of his kitten fawning on someone else like a little bun.
Tch.
His eyes darkened slightly.
The director urged him to pick a room first, but Chi Yan cast an unnoticeable glance at Fu Shilin, whose expression was far from pleasant, a hidden smile flickering in his peach-blossom eyes.
Fu Shilin sensed his gaze, his heart tightening.
What’s this guy planning?
And then he watched Chi Yan turn toward Du Qingqing and say warmly, “Miss Du, why don’t you choose first?”
Fu Shilin’s fists clenched instantly!
Fuck!! He really dared!!!
Du Qingqing froze.
Li Xiaoyun and Zhou Jia exchanged a look, a gossipy glint in their eyes.
Li Xiaoyun deliberately pouted and exaggerated her tone: “No way! Teacher Chi, why won’t you let me choose first! I’m a girl too!!!”
Li Wan glanced thoughtfully at her.
Truly worthy of being a host, Li Xiaoyun’s EQ was high. With just one sentence, she shifted Chi Yan’s ambiguous gesture into simple courtesy toward women.
Still, even she was a little surprised.
In the original book, it was written that the two-legger came on this variety show precisely to get close to Du Qingqing and disgust Fu Shilin. She hadn’t expected him to be so direct.
But… it was indeed effective.
Just look at Fu Shilin’s expression—tsk tsk tsk. Practically turning green.
Chi Yan smiled faintly. “Your ranking is quite high.”
Li Xiaoyun pursed her lips, then buried her face into Da Huang’s belly on purpose. The dog wagged his tail wildly, barking “Woof woof woof,” completely clueless.
Du Qingqing let out a subtle breath of relief. She thanked him, then declined: “No need, Teacher Chi.”
“You earned first place with your own strength, didn’t you, Meow Meow?” she added, turning to Li Wan.
Li Wan was too blissed out under her chin scratches, only managing to “purr purr” in response, unable to answer.
But honestly, if the spot went to Du Qingqing, she had no objection. A kitten could sleep anywhere, and if all else failed, she could always climb over and curl up in Aunt Qingqing’s arms.
So comfy!!
Purr purr purr!!!
The original plot was right. From what she had seen so far, Du Qingqing truly was a very good girl.
She even avoided wearing perfume on the show, knowing how sensitive cats and dogs’ noses were!
So considerate, meow!!
Thinking about it…
If Chi Yan really ended up with Du Qingqing, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.
Her two-legger was a responsible man, he’d definitely treat his girlfriend well. Du Qingqing was warm-hearted too; maybe she could even help ease his extreme personality and psychological issues…
That is, if Aunt Qingqing’s on-camera persona reflected her real self.
Li Wan blinked. The more she thought about it, the better the idea sounded.
She could even try matchmaking, nudging them together a little. If they suited each other, they could end up together.
Way better than watching Aunt Qingqing with that scumbag Fu Shilin.
Hmph!
The little kitten thought about it, then rolled her eyes at Fu Shilin from afar.
And Fu Shilin happened to catch it: “…”
His fists clenched again. Damn it!
This cat’s attitude was just as unbearable as Chi Yan’s!!
As Du Qingqing refused, Chi Yan didn’t press. He picked a room with good lighting instead.
Soon, everyone had chosen rooms and began moving in their luggage.
Li Wan, still relishing the joy of chin scratches, followed close by Du Qingqing’s skirt as they went upstairs.
Chi Yan gave her a sidelong glance.
Tch.
Flattering cat.
【Screenshot it, guys, quick, screenshot!!】
【Look at Brother Chi’s jealous glare!!】
【At this rate, how long before he falls to the power of fluffy paws!!】
【Waiting for Brother Chi to get slapped in the face】
【+1 waiting for the slap】
