The two people (two cats?) relied on both wit and agility to escape from the multiple crowds to finally jump into Su Chi’s nanny van that was parked in the periphery of the production set . Only then did Xia Rong cling to the door to hide himself as he observed their surroundings, sighing in relief . “I was scared to death, we were almost found out . ”
Meanwhile, Su Chi sat inside . He pulled the little bag open again before tilting over his cat body, attempting to get the phone to slide out . “There’s still some water on it, don’t let it get the room card wet . ”
As soon as Xia Rong recalled that the screen of his phone was full of his own saliva and how later Su Chi had helped him carry his phone, ending up licking it several times as well, which was tantamount to an indirect kiss— He still remembers that Su Chi had said before that he had mysophobia . But in order to help him, the other didn’t bother to fuss over it, leading him to feel even more ashamed and uneasy . He turned to look back and said, “Sorry, I’m still not quite good at…”
He fixed his eyes on Su Chi, then for an instant, his eyes seemed to have gone blank .
Su Chi hadn’t been able to pull the phone out of the little bag with his two claws and so could only tilt his body so that gravity could help the phone slide out by itself . Silver gradient British Shorthairs were already a breed that had extremely fluffy and soft fur, so when the other kept rolling around in the back seat, then later even flipping over such that all four of the other’s claws were facing up, half-revealing the soft and fluffy belly, it really caused the little orange cat’s gaze to go blank in an instant .
In the past, when Su Chi would nest in his arms after having changed into a cat, Xia Rong would occasionally have the wicked desire of wanting to bury his face in the other’s belly from time to time . However, because he knew very clearly that the other party was actually Su Chi, whereas his form was that of a human, there would always be the illusion of it being the bullying and molesting of a little kitten, so he had no choice but to forcibly repress the desire again and again .
But now he himself was also a cat, and upon seeing this current scene, all four of his paws started to itch at the same time . By the time he came back to his senses, he had already pounced onto the other’s body .
—Ah, this is the feeling of burying one’s face in a cat’s belly! How soft, how warm! Even so fluffy!
Sniff, sniff, sniff! Deep breath!
The little orange cat swiveled his head left and right and took several deep breaths in succession . The exhaled hot breaths all landed on the silver gradient British Shorthair’s abdomen, to which he finally couldn’t bear it anymore and directly kicked the other away with one foot . “…That’s enough from you!”
And so Xia Rong had been kicked aside . Although it didn’t hurt, he did feel a bit dizzy after being kicked, so it also took a while before he finally realized what he had done . However, relying on the fact that no one would be able to tell that the furry cat face had already reddened, he boldly, as if with the courage of his convictions, argued, “Weren’t you the one who said intimate contact?! Moreover, we’re both cats, what’s the problem with me sniffing a bit?!”
“Even if we needed intimate contact, it’s still not now,” Su Chi said with disdain . “If you were to change back, do you have clothes? Are you going to run back to the crew naked?”
“…Okay . ” Xia Rong didn’t have any psychological burdens about acting shameless with Su Chi . “Then I’ll just not sniff . Where are we going now?”
“First head back to the hotel . ” In the midst of the two of them rolling around, the phone had already fallen out of the small bag . Su Chi pushed it over with one claw . “Take a scroll through the phone first, see if there’s anything you need to settle . ”
“Oh . ” Xia Rong obediently listened and took the phone, then pawed at the seat cover for a bit . With the method that Su Chi had taught, he stretched and separated his paw pad and used one of the small nubs to unlock the phone to access the screen .
As soon as the phone was unlocked, it suddenly violently vibrated . Xia Rong’s paw trembled, and he almost went to answer the call . Fortunately, after seeing that the caller was “Zhang Youying’, he managed to brake himself in time .
With one of the small nubs, he unskillfully tapped ‘hang up’, but not even two seconds later, Zhang Youying called again .
After being hung up on again, the other side finally calmed down for a while, but who would know what big plan she might be brewing . So Xia Rong quickly took advantage of this slice of silence, and his claws flew as it typed out a text message: [[My girlfriend came, I have to accompany her . Sorry!]]
Although it wasn’t good to lie, after these past many days, Xia Rong has already realized that if he were to only tactfully refuse, there was no way that Zhang Youying would just back off . Instead, it was better for him to invent a girlfriend who didn’t exist, so the other person would finally give up, ending it once and for all . The first sentence stated that he has a girlfriend, the second sentence showed his fondness for her and her importance to him, and the third sentence was a throwback to the original topic, further emphasizing that he was loyal through thick and thin and unswervingly faithful— Concise, powerful, every word was a gem, full points, full points!
After the message was sent, Zhang Youying finally stopped calling . Xia Rong could also now sigh in relief . He swung his paw that was already numb from all the tapping before tapping ‘go back’ .
After exiting from the call interface, Xia Rong found that what was on his main page was still the running “You Draw, I Guess” that he had been playing with Cheng Yu . It was just that he had lost several rounds because of the extended lack of a response from his side . Cheng Yu had also noticed his unresponsiveness and had sent over a series of question marks: “???” “??? Did you go to make up a scene?” “Went for a date??” …
Facing all these question marks on the screen of his phone that he was holding as the nanny van continued to drive, Xia Rong finally belatedly thought to ask, “Su Chi, now that you’ve changed into a cat, who’s driving the van?”
Su Chi didn’t have a phone to play with and just leaned languidly against the seat . Hearing the question, his whiskers twitched, and he gave a long ‘me-ow’ in response,
“Who is it? Can’t you go see for yourself?”

Xia Rong: “…”
Although he had no clear evidence and no matter how it was phrased, there seems to be a hint of having showered affection on an uninterested party… But he could still remember that when Su Chi first came into contact with him, the other person was clearly very conceding1 towards him!
But after ‘sharing joys and sorrows, overcoming trials and tribulations together’, the other actually came to disdain himself more and more… This, why was this? TAT
The one currently driving was Su Chi’s assistant, Xiao Wu . Looking over from Xia Rong’s angle, he could see that the other person was wearing short sleeves, revealing the other’s white plump arms – similar to two sections of a lotus root – that was holding the steering wheel .
Xia Rong wasn’t sure how much Su Chi had revealed to the other, whether he(SC) had told the other who he(XR) was . Just at this time they happened to stop for a red light at an intersection, Xiao Wu turned back to size him up with a gentle and kind smile on his plump face .
With rapt attention, Xia Rong held his breath and looked right back at the other person without blinking, all while pondering how he should respond if the other person were to greet him, such that he would be able to accurately express his friendly intention with his current cat body…
As a result, Xiao Wu just stared at him for a while, then the other drew back the corner of his lips to reveal a happy grin, asking Su Chi, “Chi-ge, where did you kidnap this beautiful little cat from? It’s quite cute, a female, right?”
“…Meow ao-ao ao!”
Xia Rong waved his claws around trying to express: This father wants to scratch you till death!!!

In fact, it was only about a ten-minute drive between the production set and the hotel, but Su Chi seemed to be in quite a hurry . So much so that even before they’d arrived, he already started to dig and scratch at the door with his claws .
Xiao Wu was a good driver . He only turned around and joked for a bit, then when he found that the light had changed to green, he turned right back to concentrate on driving .
Xia Rong was still immersed in the anger from his gender having been wrongly identified and attempted to type out an explanation on his phone to explain to Xiao Wu . However, just as he managed to type out a few words with his claws and looked up, he found they were almost at the hotel . He stretched his paw pads a few times and decided to give it up for the time being— Explaining like this is too tiring for a cat . Better wait until I change back to being human before explaining it all in one breath .
When they arrived at the hotel, Xia Rong again stuffed his phone back into the little bag that was on Su Chi, ready to leave . Then, because pets weren’t allowed to enter the hotel, Xiao Wu pulled on a loose outerwear that he usually left in the car, then placed the two cats left and right under his armpit before he swaggered into the hotel .
A fat person’s armpits during the summer were honestly rather ‘abundant in water’, so Xia Rong was already so suffocated that his face was all scrunched up . As soon as Xiao Wu opened the door with the room card, Xia Rong then strongly struggled and squirmed out of the other’s armpit with a plop .
He had just rolled onto the floor and gave a hard shake of his fur when he found that Su Chi had actually dashed out faster than he did, having pounced straight for the big bed with a ‘whoosh’ .
But right now he no longer had the time to pay attention to Su Chi— Because right as he entered the door, there was a mirror in the hallway . With an inadvertent turn of his head, Xia Rong just happened to see his reflection that was in the mirror .
“…Wait a minute, I’ve seen this orange cat before!
