Chapter 42 Mimi Doesn't Take a Bath

Yu Xiang nestled in the car seat, stroking the black cat in her arms with both hands, a satisfied smile on her face.

"Mimi! You can't lie to me anymore. Isn't it good to have food and drink with me?"

"Meow!"

The black cat suddenly jumped up from Yuzuru's arms, waving its front paws wildly in the air, its tail puffed up into a ball of fur, looking very dissatisfied.

If you're going to keep me as a cat, don't call me "Mimi" (meaning "cat meow"). That name isn't imposing at all. I'm a majestic and awe-inspiring cat!

Yuka stared blankly at the black cat that suddenly jumped up, her round eyes full of confusion, completely baffled as to why the little guy was suddenly so irritable.

At this moment, Qiao Yan, who had been sitting next to her, spoke up.

"Could it be that it doesn't like the name Mimi?"

Upon hearing this, the black cat was overjoyed, as if it had found a kindred spirit.

It quickly stretched out its little paws and gently patted Qiao Yan's leg, nodding its little head vigorously.

Great, this person understands me!

I love people with such good judgment.

Yu Xiang pouted, looking defiant.

"Mimi sounds so nice, how can you not like it?"

"Meow!"

The black cat let out a loud meow, its voice full of protest.

That doesn't sound good at all! I don't want such a corny name!

Yuxiang tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, then I'll think of another one for you. How about Xiao Hei? It's such a simple and straightforward name."

Upon hearing this, the black cat jumped up again, bouncing around on Yuxiang's lap.

"Meow!"

Can't you come up with a good name?

This little black cat sounds ordinary, without any special features. But I am one of a kind!

Yu Xiang was getting impatient and said angrily, "I don't care anymore, I'll just call her Mimi!"

"Meow!!!"

No, no! This name is too tacky!

At this moment, Qin Zhuo, who was sitting in the front, saw this scene in the rearview mirror and deliberately clenched his fist.

"I think Mimi is great."

"Meow~"

Upon hearing this, the black cat deflated like a punctured balloon, immediately losing all its opinions. It lay listlessly on Yuka's lap, its tail drooping limply.

Fine, fine, I can't beat this man, so I'll just have to accept this lousy name.

"See, Zhuozhuo thinks it's good too."

Yu Xiang proudly lifted up the dejected Mimi, "Does Mimi want some canned fish?"

"Meow meow".

I want it! I want it!

As soon as Mimi heard there was food, she perked up immediately and happily shook her head.

Yuxiang smiled and took a can of fish from the game inventory and gave it to Mimi.

Mimi couldn't wait to go over and started eating heartily, making slurping noises as she ate with great satisfaction.

Yuka petted the cat while muttering to herself, "I need to find cat treats, cat food, and a cat tree for Mimi..."

"Meow."

Although the name is a bit corny, the cat owner's offerings are truly impressive, so this cat will reluctantly give up on trying to escape...

The afterglow of dusk, like a thin veil, fell upon every inch of land in H City.

Qin Zhuo drove steadily to a villa hidden in the woods on the outskirts of the city and slowly stopped.

"Let's rest here tonight and recharge our energy. We'll go to the granary tomorrow."

As the group entered the villa, a twisted zombie suddenly sprang out from a corner and lunged at them, baring its fangs and claws.

With a few practiced movements, Chen Yunfei easily dealt with the zombie inside the villa.

The others weren't idle either; they started tidying up the villa, organizing the messy rooms into a neat and orderly manner.

After tidying up, Chen Yunfei rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

At this moment, Qiao Yan suddenly spoke up: "I'll do it today."

This was her last night, and she wanted to cook a meal herself.

Chen Yunfei's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"Oh? You can make it?"

Qiao Yan nodded slightly, her tone calm, "I know a little."

Upon hearing this, Youxiang excitedly jumped to Qiao Yan's side and said, "Yan Yan, what ingredients do you want? Just tell me, I have everything!"

Qiao Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. "Mm."

With all the necessary ingredients in hand, Qiao Yan turned and headed towards the kitchen, eagerly following behind, clamoring to help.

On the other side, Qin Zhuo asked Youxiang for some water and then went to take a bath.

Yu Xiang sat on the sofa in the living room, watching with great interest as Mimi gracefully strode around the room, surveying her territory.

The little boy looked just like a king inspecting his kingdom, majestic and awe-inspiring.

As she looked around, Yuxiang suddenly slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, Mimi used to be a stray cat, she must be very dirty, she should take a bath."

"Meow."

Mimi seemed to sense something was wrong, her ears perked up alertly, and she let out a warning cry.

A short while later, Qin Zhuo, having finished showering and drying her wet hair, came out of the bathroom.

As soon as I entered the living room, I heard a pitiful meow, a sharp and piercing sound.

Is Little Yuzu going to kill the cat?

Don't you really like that cat?

When he walked quickly to the place where the sound came from, he couldn't help but laugh at the scene before him.

Yu Xiang was holding Mimi and pressing her hard into the water basin, muttering, "Mimi, you're not a good cat if you don't take a bath! You'll smell nice and be loved by everyone after a bath."

"Meow!!"

I'm not a well-behaved cat! I don't want to take a bath!

Mimi, however, showed no appreciation and struggled desperately, baring her teeth and letting out angry cries.

Qin Zhuo watched this scene without interfering with the matter between Youxiang and the cat. Instead, he sat leisurely on the sofa, drying his hair while watching the "battle" between the corpse and the cat with great interest.

There's no TV to watch, but here's something I can watch right now.

Seeing that Mimi wasn't cooperating, Youxiang got a little angry. Her face turned bright red, and she put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm saying this one last time, are you going to wash or not?"

"Meow!"

No washing! This cat absolutely refuses to wash!

Mimi was not to be outdone, letting out a firm cry.

Yuka clenched her fist, but a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on her face. With lightning speed, she grabbed Mimi, who was trying to escape from the basin again.

Immediately afterwards, a series of crackling sounds came.

The zombies and the black cat engaged in a fierce "battle".

When the noise stopped, Mimi was seen pitifully covering her head with bumps, looking extremely aggrieved.

I mistook the corpse for someone else. This female corpse is terrifying when she gets angry. I'll never dare to mess with her again.

Yu Xiang looked at herself and realized that she had successfully "subdued" Mimi. She couldn't help but smile and tilted her head up slightly.

It's hard to say whether she took action just now because Mimi refused to cooperate with the bath and was jumping around and making a fuss, or if she had some other ulterior motive—to get revenge on the cat for tricking her out of fish cans before.

Anyway, she felt pretty good.
