Chapter 6: The Dark Doctor Gu (Part 2)

No! Absolutely not!

He must return to his apartment and transform back into human form before Gu Chaoyu knocks on his door!

At this moment, Lin Muci's desire to survive reached its peak.

“Meow—!”

He suddenly struggled in Gu Chaoyu's arms, and then took advantage of the moment when Gu Chaoyu subconsciously relaxed his strength and suddenly jumped out of his arms!

He couldn't go through the door because Gu Chaoyu was standing there.

He looked around, his eyes quickly sweeping across the entire living room, and finally locked on the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room leading to the balcony!

Right there!

Lin Xiaomiao rushed to the balcony.

Gu Chaoyu looked at his panicked back and did not immediately chase him. He just stood there, watching leisurely.

Of course he knew what the little guy was panicking about.

He did it on purpose.

He just wanted to see how this cute little liar would end up.

Lin Xiao Miao successfully reached the balcony. The two balconies were adjacent, with only a gap less than half a meter wide in between.

For a nimble cat, jumping over it is easy.

Without any hesitation, he kicked off with his hind legs, and his body drew a beautiful orange arc in the air, landing steadily on his balcony.

Success!

Lin Xiaomao didn't have time to catch her breath, she immediately crawled in through the balcony door that was not closed tightly, and then rushed into the bedroom as fast as she could!

There was a flash of light, and the next second, the chubby orange cat disappeared and he turned back into human form.

Lin Muci didn't even have time to tidy up his clothes when he heard a knock on the door.

Here we come!

He really came!

Lin Muci took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He randomly grabbed two handfuls of hair, patted his face, which was a little stiff due to nervousness, and tried to force out a more natural smile.

Then he walked quickly to the door and opened it.

"Gu... Doctor Gu? Is there something wrong?" Lin Muci tried hard to make his voice sound normal, but the slightly trembling ending still betrayed his nervousness.

Gu Chaoyu looked at his slightly red cheeks, messy hair, and the peach blossom eyes that did not dare to look him in the eye because of guilty conscience.

He didn't speak immediately, but under Lin Muci's increasingly uneasy gaze, he slowly said something that made Lin Muci almost kneel down on the spot.

"Why is there an orange hair on your face?"

Orange fur?

[Hair? What hair? Where did the hair come from?]

[Why is there cat hair on my face? I'm clearly transformed!]

[Is the transformation incomplete? Are there any aftereffects? Like hair loss?]

[It’s over, it’s over, I’m really dead now! Barbie is cute!]

A red alarm instantly sounded in Lin Muci's mind. Various catastrophic consequences played out in his mind one after another, and finally froze on the image of Gu Chaoyu looking at him with an expression that said, "So you are a monster."

He subconsciously raised his hand and wiped his face randomly.

"Is there...is there? It might be...the wind. There are quite a lot of stray cats in the neighborhood."

Even he himself felt that this explanation was pale and powerless.

Gu Chaoyu just looked at him quietly without saying a word, but the half-smile on the corner of his lips was more oppressive to Lin Muci than any harsh questioning.

[Did he believe it? He definitely didn't!]

[This excuse is too bad. How could the wind blow a cat hair into my face so accurately?]

[Is he waiting for me to confess and show mercy?]

But how do I confess? Should I say, "Hey, neighbor, I'm not actually human. I'm a cat demon that can transform into a fat orange cat. I was the one rubbing against your pants leg just now"?

[Will he send me to the Academy of Sciences for biopsy? Absolutely!]

The more Lin Muci thought about it, the more frightened he became. He lowered his head even lower, almost hiding it in his collar.

Seeing him like an ostrich who was about to bury himself, Gu Chaoyu finally had mercy and stopped talking about this topic that could drive people crazy.

He hummed softly, accepting the flawed excuse.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I came here to ask you something." Gu Chaoyu's voice returned to its usual gentle tone. "Yesterday... I picked up a cat."

Lin Muci looked up suddenly.

【Found a cat? 】

Why did he use the word "picked up"? Didn't he plan to support me long-term?

[So I'm just a stray cat he's temporarily taking in? Those cat food, cat litter, and toys...are they just a momentary outburst of his kindness?]

[That's right... who would just keep a cat of unknown origin?]

Lin Muci suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Gu Chaoyu saw and heard all the changes in his expression and his inner thoughts.

【So this is what the little guy cares about. 】

In his heart, he thought Lin Muci was both funny and cute, but he remained expressionless and continued to play the role of a novice poop scooper.

"It was an orange cat I met in the stairwell yesterday. I felt sorry for it, so I took it home."

As he spoke, he added casually, "It looks like you're planning on keeping it long-term, so you bought a lot of things. But this is my first time raising a cat, so I don't have much experience. I remember you said before that you're very knowledgeable about raising cats, so I wanted to ask you."

Raised for a long time!

【It turns out he wants to support me for a long time! 】

[Great! I knew it! How could the man I chose be so heartless?]

[Progress in conquering the male god +1!]

[Hey, something seems off. Am I trying to win him over, or is he trying to win me over? Why do I feel like I'm the one getting all excited?! !]

[Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's get through the current crisis first.]

"Oh, okay, okay! No problem!" Lin Muci patted his chest, completely forgetting the embarrassment just now, and instantly switched to "cat-raising expert" mode.

"What do you want to ask? How much cat food to feed? Which cat litter to choose? Or about vaccinations and deworming? I can answer all of them! I know a lot!"

Gu Chaoyu looked at his face which lit up instantly and smiled inwardly.

"There are quite a lot of problems," he said slowly. "For example, I bought him a mid-to-high-end domestic cat food. It says to feed him by weight, but he looks a bit fat. I'm worried that feeding him too much will be bad for his health."

"By the way, I named it Orange."

Is he calling me fat? He actually called me fat right in front of me!

Lin Muci's smile froze for a moment.

[Although I am indeed a chubby little orange, but...but...]

But when it comes from the mouth of your secret crush, the impact is different!

He cleared his throat, trying to mask his guilty conscience with a professional tone. "Well, kittens or cats that have just arrived in a new environment have sensitive stomachs. I recommend feeding them small amounts frequently at first, and then observing their appetite and bowel movements. A bit of fatness is okay. Nine out of ten orange cats are fat, and one can even collapse the kang. It's determined by their genes, and it's very cute."

At the end, he couldn't help but defend his body shape.

Gu Chaoyu nodded to show that he accepted the advice.

"I see. Where's the best place to put the litter box? I'm afraid if I put it in the wrong place, it won't like it."

He even considered this, so thoughtful.

Lin Muci felt another wave of sweetness in his heart.

"It's best to put it in a ventilated, quiet place, away from its food and water bowls. Cats are very clean and don't like to go to the toilet where they eat." Lin Muci answered fluently.

"Well," Gu Chaoyu asked another question, and this question seemed to be quite meaningful. "Another question... I found that it seems... particularly clingy, and very easily jealous."
