When you see Shen Zhizhou's deceptive smile, remember to stay away.
It was definitely not feasible to let Miss Cat do the comforting work alone; she needed to be paired with someone who had some credibility. So Shen Zhizhou came up with a clever idea and put it on Sheyang.
"I can treat monsters, I have to treat people, and now I have to do free clinics?! So you want me to do all the work by myself? I won't do it!" She Yang refused directly after hearing Shen Zhizhou's idea.
He had a premonition that if he agreed, Shen Zhizhou would exploit him ruthlessly. For the sake of his own happiness, it would be better to stay away from Shen Zhizhou.
Shen Zhizhou, who was very friendly with Sheyang, put his arm around her shoulder and explained, "Look at how good your medical skills are. You've always hoped to have a bigger platform and opportunity to showcase them. Now that such a great opportunity is in front of you, if I were you, I wouldn't refuse it."
"Then you go, I won't go." She Yang glanced sideways and pushed away Shen Zhizhou's hand that was on her shoulder.
"The problem is that I don't know any medicine, and there will be TV people coming to cover the free clinic on that day..."
After Shen Zhizhou finished speaking, he observed Sheyang's expression. Sure enough, when Sheyang heard that there was a TV station interviewing him, he softened his stance slightly and said that he could consider it.
"Then it's settled. You should prepare yourself well and dress smartly, since you'll be on TV!" Shen Zhizhou said and ran off in a flash, not giving Sheyang a chance to refuse or question him.
The persuasion work with Miss Cat has been almost done, and now they're just waiting to see the actual situation at the free clinic in three days.
...
The free clinic was held in a back alley of a commercial street, on a weekend when it was bustling with people.
She Yang dressed up specially, wearing a white coat that was ironed without a single wrinkle, his hair was fixed with hair gel to the most perfect curve, and a pair of rose gold wire-rimmed glasses were placed on the bridge of his nose. He looked intelligent and perfect, not like someone participating in a free clinic, but more like a male idol who was about to go on stage.
As for Miss Cat, Shuyi not only took her to the vet for a thorough bath the night before, but also made her fur so smooth that the comb hanging on her could fall off by itself. On the day of the event, Shuyi specially dressed Miss Cat in a princess dress and tied a pink ribbon with a bow around her neck, making the cat look noble and elegant.
The two, dressed as if they were walking a red carpet rather than performing a free clinic, suddenly appeared in the cultural street. When Shen Zhizhou saw Sheyang's outfit, he kept his cheekbones pointing downwards, afraid that he might accidentally laugh and offend Sheyang.
Just as Sheyang was tidying up his appearance in front of a reflective object for the 108th time, a girl who had been hesitating for a long time, holding up her phone and looking a little shy, came up to greet him.
"Hey handsome, can we add each other on WeChat and get to know each other?"
She Yang smiled gently, but the aura around her kept strangers at bay as she politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm illiterate."
"..." The girl looked at Sheyang with a mixture of speechlessness and pity. He was a handsome man, but he seemed to have some mental issues.
Miss Cat seemed to sense the girl's emotions, straightened her posture, and let out a sweet, coquettish meow, immediately attracting the girl's attention.
"Oh my god, this cat is so cute! White fur, heterochromatic eyes, and it's even wearing a bow!" The girl took out her phone to take pictures of the cat and couldn't resist petting it.
The cat took pity on the girl's palm and meowed sweetly a few times, causing the girl to scream repeatedly and attracting the attention of more passersby.
A group of college students passing by were captivated by the cute cat and kept praising her beauty. Overwhelmed by the compliments, the cat struck poses and stuck her face to each student, making sure everyone received her attention.
Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to the cat, Sheyang cleared his throat, pointed to the free clinic sign below, and said, "We can provide free pulse diagnosis and treatment here. Normally, you need to make an appointment to see patients."
Just as a college student was about to sit down to let Sheyang take a look, the girl who had just asked Sheyang for her WeChat quietly leaned close to the college student and whispered something to him. The college student quickly pulled back, chuckled, and turned to pet the cat.
Sheyang, whose face was ashen, overheard the girl whispering in her ear: "This guy is alright looking, but he's got some brain problems. He's probably all show and no substance, good for nothing but being handsome."
Shuyi, who was maintaining order on the side, almost burst out laughing when she heard this. She leaned over to Shen Zhizhou and told him the funny story. The two of them pursed their lips and trembled like Parkinson's patients.
She Yang rolled his eyes, his face dark, and said with a sneer, "Laugh if you want to."
"Who said I laughed? I'm just not naturally a big laugher, right, Shuyi..." Shen Zhizhou immediately denied it and pulled Shuyi, who was looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and pinching her thigh hard, to testify.
Shu Yi nodded vigorously, but didn't say a word, afraid that her skill level wasn't as profound as Shen Zhizhou's, and that she would burst out laughing if she opened her mouth.
Sheyang was too lazy to argue with the human and the demon. Remembering that she had an interview scheduled for today, she asked, "When will the TV station start the interview? Do you think my outfit is photogenic?"
Shuyi trembled even more violently after hearing this, and Sheyang looked over with some confusion: "What's wrong with her... Is there no interview? Shen Zhizhou, are you trying to trick me again!"
Shen Zhizhou blocked Sheyang's view, sandwiched between the two, and assured them that there was absolutely no such thing. He also repeatedly assured them that the TV station would be there soon. Sheyang was half-convinced and continued to fiddle with his outfit.
Before long, a long queue formed in front of the free clinic stall in Sheyang. Everyone waited patiently for Miss Cat's favor. Miss Cat was very pleased to see that so many people liked her.
"I bet no creature can resist my charm!"
"Hey, do you love me too? Then I love you too~"
"I love them all, I love them all, I love them all equally. People shouldn't lift up a cat's tail to see if it's male or female, it's impolite!"
Miss Cat flicked the tail at the scoundrel, who covered his face and proudly boasted to his friends, "It loves me so much! It even stroked my cheek with its tail!"
The crowded free clinic booth naturally attracted the attention of the TV station first. A reporter walked up to the booth and interviewed Sheyang, who was styling his hair with hair gel: "Hello, how did you come up with the idea of combining free medical services with pet care? Can you tell us about it?"
She Yang put down the hairspray in her hand, revealing a perfectly rehearsed smile that showed all eight teeth, and said, "Because I am a doctor, and I am very compassionate, I often rescue stray animals. Mainly, it's because I have a kind heart and enjoy helping others..."
The reporter interrupted Sheyang's endless narcissistic talk and steered the conversation back to pets. Sheyang asked the reporter with some curiosity which TV station it was.
"We are a livestock breeding channel. Have you watched our programs before?"
Sheyang was incredulous after hearing this, staring blankly at the reporter. Livestock breeding channel? What a waste of all the time he spent styling his outfit, Shen Zhizhou, you damned thing!
Sheyang, burning with anger, glared at the culprit, Shen Zhizhou. Shen Zhizhou, upon meeting Sheyang's gaze, immediately looked away to divert his attention. He had indeed said it was okay to appear on television, but he hadn't specified which channel it could be on. Why wasn't the livestock channel considered a program…?
Sheyang, deeply deceived, wants to strike, and Miss Cat, tired of being petted and hugged by humans, also wants to strike. Thus, the two, one human and one demon, collectively go on strike and give up.
Back at the villa, Sheyang directly refused Shen Zhizhou's attempts to communicate, saying it was best not to speak to him for the next week, otherwise she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist beating him up. The cat lady explained that humans had tangled her carefully groomed fur and were missing her daily beauty sleep, which would affect her appearance, so she politely declined.
"Does Miss Cat plan to continue working?"
“Of course,” Miss Cat said, licking her paws. “I want a job where I can work for a short while and then rest all the time. Humans shouldn’t bother me, but they should admire me and ideally offer me food with both hands…”
"If there's such a job, Miss Cat, please take me along. Let me serve you tea and water," Shen Zhizhou replied, lying on the sofa. Humans have always wanted such a perfect job.
In the days that followed, Miss Cat would ask Shen Zhizhou whenever she saw him, as she was already prepared to make humans fall for her charm.
"Please forgive me, Miss Cat. As a human, I can't even find a job like this myself, let alone find one for you. Believe me... if such a job really existed, humans would fight tooth and nail to get it."
"Well... let's take a step back and say you only have to work a little longer, but you get to eat an endless supply of canned meat and have tons of money to squander every day? Is there a job like that?"
"To be honest, there isn't such a job. If there were, we'd probably have to start lining up from the time of the apes." Shen Zhizhou spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't help.
Perhaps seeing that Miss Cat had been looking rather dejected lately, I decided to try to cheer her up. After researching the current job market environment, I finally came to a conclusion.
The job market is really tough...
Lost in thought, Shu Yi bumped into Huang Daxian, who was carrying large and small bags. Seeing his things fall to the ground, Shu Yi hurriedly apologized.
Huang Daxian waved his hand good-naturedly and picked up the things that had fallen on the ground. Only then did Shuyi realize that Huang Daxian's former blond hair had been dyed black. Shuyi asked curiously, "Master, why did you dye your hair black?"
"Hey, it's because I've been working as a psychologist lately. People think blond hair makes me look unreliable, so I dyed my hair black. How is it? Do I look like a human?" Huang Daxian blinked his beady green eyes at Shuyi, hoping Shuyi would say he looked human, like a weasel asking for a reward.
Shuyi circled Huang Daxian, giving him a careful look. "You're getting the hang of it. Huang Daxian, you've done a lot of work to integrate into human society." Shuyi covered her mouth and secretly told Huang Daxian her thoughts: "I think you have more style than the Sheyang doctor. I'm rooting for you, Daxian!"
"Hehehe, that's fine then. I'm feeling a bit embarrassed." Wong Tai Sin scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Great Immortal, I think it's a waste of your talent to only be a psychological counselor. Have you ever thought about partnering with other demons to grow bigger and stronger and create new glories!" Shen Zhizhou appeared at the right time, extending an invitation to Huang Daxian with his classic, irresistible smile.
Wong Tai Sin frowned slightly and asked with some doubt, "With whom?"
