Chapter 15: Encountering a cow waiter whose old injury has flared up, one must be happy to help...

After Gu Fei left, Pei Qing returned to the bathroom. She examined her eyes in front of the mirror. The black and white areas in her eyes were clearly distinct, and there was nothing unusual about them. Even the black line had disappeared.

Pei Qian now felt great, her spirits were high, and her body felt light.

She only remembered that at some point her eyes suddenly felt burning hot, and then she inexplicably became irritable, along with some other indescribable feelings, as if she had suddenly become someone else in that instant.

That's not entirely accurate, but Pei Qing couldn't quite describe it either. The feeling was mysterious; it was as if she had gained another pair of eyes...

Pei Qing looked left and right but saw nothing unusual. She only put her hand down when her eyes became dry and uncomfortable from being stretched for too long.

Although the matter was a bit strange, Pei Qing didn't take it to heart. Anyway, she was still alive and had a large sum of money, living a very good life. As for the rest, none of it mattered.

It could also be a side effect of radiation from the energy extraction site, since the cleaners who entered at the same time as her have already shown changes in their bodies due to radiation.

Pei Qing isn't some kind of superhero. Although she thinks she hasn't changed much, it's possible she just hasn't had time to notice.

And as for the fact that he seems to have suddenly become a strong fighter, there's not much to say.

Pei Qing had never been in a fight before, so maybe she was a one-in-a-million fighting genius?

What if Gu Fei is just a fraud? Anyway, it doesn't matter. Just thinking about getting a large sum of star coins makes her incredibly happy.

Whatever, do whatever you want.

Of all things under the heavens and earth, eating is the most important. Pei Qing rubbed her rumbling stomach, feeling incredibly hungry. This post-meal exercise was so effective at aiding digestion; there wasn't a single thing left in her stomach.

She came out of the club, glanced at the terminal, and realized it was only 4:30 in the morning. There was nowhere to eat in this shabby place, so she could only go home and have some nutrient solution.

Thinking this, Pei Qing absentmindedly turned the corner. At that moment, a person ran out from the alley. Neither of them could stop in time, and the bag that the person was carrying scattered all over the ground.

"Sorry, I was distracted. Are you alright, sister?" Pei Qing quickly got up from the ground to check on the person who was bumped into. She was worried that the person might have gotten hurt, or she would have to pay compensation.

Various food ingredients were scattered around the person on the ground, and one of the onions rolled over to Pei Qing's feet.

She bent down to pick them up, and then gathered all the scattered items into her arms. "Where's the bag?" Pei Qing muttered to herself. Helpless, she could only tie her coat into a knot to make a makeshift cloth bag and then put the things in it.

"Here, take this. I'm so sorry,"

Seeing that the person on the ground was still sitting there blankly, Pei Qing waved her hand in front of their eyes a few times, "Hey, sister, are you alright? Don't you feel the ground is cold? And it's kind of dirty, why don't you get up?"

The person finally reacted, looked up, and hugged the things to their chest. "Thank you. I wasn't looking where I was going. I'm so sorry. I'm fine, just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

Hmm? Sitting on the ground to rest for a while, so, uh, so unconventional? Pei Qing shook her head. There are all kinds of people in this world.

"Okay, if you don't have anything else, I'll—wait, what?"

After the accidental hit-and-run incident, the alley was much brighter than before, and Pei Qing realized that the person sitting on the ground looked familiar.

She tried hard to recall, scrutinizing the man's face. He was a man; she couldn't smell anything, but he was probably a lesbian. His hair was a bit long but smooth, partially obscuring his face, making it difficult to see his features clearly.

He was dressed simply, in a brown oversized hoodie and distressed blue jeans. Wait a minute, why does this person look so familiar? It seems like just recently, under the warm, appetizing yellow lights of the self-service area, Pei Qing also ate quite a bit…

Oh! She remembered! She finally remembered! This person was the waiter who chatted with her in the buffet area! He had a great figure and was incredibly perceptive!

However, the difference between her work attitude and her off-work attitude is quite significant, isn't it? And what's wrong with her? She looks so dejected.

They had met before, and Pei Qing had a fairly good impression of him. It didn't seem right to just leave him there like that, especially since she was the one who knocked him down.

Oh, her damn kindness!

"Hey, do you need any help? Or should I help you up?" Pei Qing sneakily approached.

"No need, really no need,"

Helivin couldn't understand why the man wouldn't leave even after he had refused him so thoroughly. Although the voice sounded somewhat familiar, he didn't pay much attention, assuming it was just another shameless thug.

He thought she was quite polite, so he returned the courtesy, but he didn't expect her to be so persistent. Since that was the case, he didn't need to be polite anymore.

A ruthless glint flashed in Helivin's eyes, which were hidden by her stray hairs. She gripped the stone tightly in her hand, ready to smash her head open if the man dared to take another step closer!

He tried to move his left leg, and a sharp pain shot through his ankle. He had been standing for too long today, and the old injury had flared up again after he was bumped into and twisted his ankle.

Noticing the person's movements, Pei Qing tilted her head in confusion. What was wrong? Why did they suddenly freeze?

That shouldn't be the case. She really wanted to do a good deed today, so what is she doing?

Unless... right, this person came from a club, so they wouldn't think she stopped him to take advantage of him, would they? After all, this is Saihan City, and such things are quite common here.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Damn it! Pei Qian really didn't mean that!

She awkwardly shifted her neck, scratched her head, and didn't move forward. Instead, she took a few steps back, maintaining a safe distance, before speaking: "You mean... I didn't mean anything by it, don't worry, I won't go over. It's just that we've met before... wait, what the heck?"

Something didn't sound right, so Pei Qing quickly added, "We met last night and chatted together."

Surely this person's memory isn't that bad? She remembers that the two of them had a pretty pleasant chat, so how could she have forgotten so quickly?

Pei Qing herself was indeed enjoying the meal, completely forgetting that she had been grabbing someone's tail and making lewd remarks while drunk.

Please, who would remember something so trivial! She's lucky if she can even remember what this person looks like now.

Know him? Heaven frowned. The person in front of him didn't seem to have any ill intentions. If he knew him, it would make sense. But who was he?

Staring at the man's seemingly ordinary yet actually very expensive shoes, he couldn't recall ever knowing someone so wealthy.

Why is this person staring at his feet? Oh no, his shoes. Pei Qing also examined them closely. Seriously? There wasn't anything sticky, smelly, or indescribable stuck to the soles. What is he looking at?

Helivin looked away; he didn't want to listen to this man's nonsense anymore. He struggled to stand up, leaning against the wall.

Pei Qian then realized that the other person had a leg problem and only said that he needed to rest for a while so as not to trouble others. Why was he so stubborn?

She took a big step forward, grabbed the person, and took their clothes and bag with one hand. Regardless of whether the person wanted to or not, she immediately said, "Let me help you."

Helivin looked surprised for a moment. "Huh?" Before he could react, the things in his hands were taken away, and an arm was forcibly put on the person's shoulder.

This person is very strong; he is quite heavy, yet he maintains a very stable position.

Once outside the alley, Heaven was able to see the man's face clearly. Years of fighting in the arena had left his body covered in old wounds, and he had almost lost his eyesight.

Even if he miraculously recovered later, his eyesight was far worse than before, to the point that he couldn't see anything at all in dim light.

The side profile does look somewhat familiar, but the front view...

Pei Qing noticed the gaze and turned around. "If you're really feeling unwell, let's go to a clinic. I know one that's pretty good—"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted, "No need, it's an old injury, going to the clinic won't help. I'll just go home, put on some medicine, and rest. Thank you."

Upon seeing the clear face, Healy remembered that it was the very friendly guest from last night.

She's also the only person who's cared about whether he's eaten since he started working at the club, unlike other customers who would touch him inappropriately, except for stroking his tail...

But it probably wasn't intentional, right?

Hearing that the tone was different from the previous coldness and much gentler, Pei Qing smiled and said, "So you've finally remembered."

Helivin, leaning on Woman A, paused slightly in his unsteady steps. When he spoke again, a hint of barely perceptible shyness crept in, "I'm sorry, I thought you were the kind of person with ill intentions..."

"Ha, it's alright. After all, it's a run-down place like Saihan City, so it's normal to be a little wary." Pei Qing's voice was clear and bright, without a trace of gloom. "By the way, where do you live? It's not good for you to walk by yourself like this, let me see you off."

Hearing that she didn't blame him, Hillivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know where his inexplicable worry came from, a weight was lifted from his heart.

"Well, it's not far away. I rented a place nearby because I have to go to work." He wanted to say more, but he really didn't know what to say.

Healy was not a smooth talker; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay at the club for so many years with such an outstanding appearance and still have such a low salary.

Even when he first arrived at the club, he was ostracized by a group of people, but he didn't say nice things to them or want to argue with them.

He's just getting by, and as long as his salary is enough to make ends meet, he's not asking for anything at this age. A simple and peaceful life is the best.

Helivin never expected to receive help that had no special meaning whatsoever.

Even such a small act of kindness made him feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, yet he couldn't bring himself to refuse it.

Or rather, they didn't want to refuse.

The text is as follows:

"My Arrogant Cat-like Boyfriend is Jealous Today Too" (GB)

Humorous yet cunning. A fluffy, extremely fanatical individual. Approachable and generous. A CEO-type female lead.

VS

Delicate and soft-bodied. An extreme fanatic of dried fish. A delicate and jealous man. A cat-loving male protagonist.

The woman dotes on the man, and they get a happy ending.

From the female protagonist's perspective:

Pei Qing is a very down-to-earth CEO with a net worth of over 100 million.

However, she insists on commuting to and from get off work by shared bicycle every day.

Don't get me wrong, she's just doing it for exercise. And you, maybe you really don't have the money.

"Thud!" At a well-known company, a corporate employee collapsed to the ground, clutching his bleeding chest, after being unexpectedly stabbed in the heart.

This young, wealthy, and dazzling eligible bachelor has recently encountered some unusual troubles.

She took a liking to a minor celebrity, or rather, a minor idol from a mediocre group.

The young idol is beautiful, with a small face, bright red lips, and an endearing appearance.

A pair of light blue cat eyes shimmered and sparkled, like the deep sea or the starry sky.

When she dances on stage, her shirt flutters, revealing a slender, white, and supple waist that makes one want to pinch it and see if the touch is as wonderful as imagined.

Pei Qing's heart, which had been dormant for thirty years like a cold and ruthless iron tree, suddenly blossomed with a "pop".

Male protagonist's perspective:

Yu Lai is a cat demon who has just come of age. Before leaving home, his mother told him to be careful because all humans are perverts.

But he didn't believe it. Those veterans who worked at cat cafes could live happily ever after just a few minutes of pretending!

You have to grab it and pinch it!

As a result, less than an hour after leaving home, I was tricked into working illegally by someone who offered me food and lodging!

This marked the beginning of his obscure career in the entertainment industry.

By a twist of fate, Yu Lai briefly returned to his cat form. During his arduous journey as a wanderer, a strange human took him in and brought him home.

Yu Lai is a cat with principles; she will never yield to a little bit of charity!

Oh my, oh my, this human's way of petting the cat is so good, so comfortable!

Okay, okay, cat food is so delicious, hehe, and the freeze-dried food is so tasty too...

We can't finish it, we simply can't finish it!

Wait, what trick is that wicked human up to now?!

Stop! Don't you dare bury your face in my belly! Let go of my paws!

Hey, where are you touching?!

Let go of this noble, fluffy cat!

Stop playing!

In the days after they got together, Pei Qing was countless times grateful that she had chosen to go out that day, which allowed her to happen to pick up Yu Lai.

Fortunately, on that damp and cold rainy day, the poor cat Xiu, whose beautiful fur was covered in mud and who was hiding in a corner licking his wounds, met a kind-hearted god who was unique to him.

Fortunately, everything was just right.
