Chapter 4: Little Jealous Bag
The next day was the weekend. At six in the morning, sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains.
Gu Chaoyu's biological clock was very accurate, and he slowly opened his eyes. He felt a heaviness on his arm, and when he looked down, he saw that the orange kitten had rolled into his arms at some point, curled up in a ball, and was sleeping soundly.
He didn't move, just watched quietly.
After looking for a long time, he carefully pulled out his arm and got up quietly.
Since I have decided to act with him, I have to prepare all the things needed to raise a cat.
He quickly finished washing up, changed into casual clothes, and then took out a pet bag that looked spacious and comfortable from the cloakroom.
He put the half-sleeping Lin Xiaomao in.
"Hmm... meow?" Lin Xiaomiao opened her eyes in the soft bag, and through the mesh window in front of her, she saw Gu Chaoyu's handsome face at a glance.
Where is he taking me so early?
"Orange, are you awake?" Gu Chaoyu zipped up his bag, held it in his hand, and said gently, "I'll take you to buy some daily necessities."
[Shopping! With him! Is this the beginning of our life together as an old married couple?]
Lin Xiao Miao woke up instantly and excitedly adjusted himself to a comfortable position in the bag. He put his two front paws on the mesh window and looked at everything outside curiously.
[So this is what the world of pet cats is like. It's much more comfortable than being a human!]
Humans work like slaves all day, then have to clean up after their cats and dogs, and spend some of their hard-earned money on cat and dog food!
Unlike cats and dogs, who only need to wait for their owners to get home from work at night to act cute and act like a spoiled child, they can spend the day at home enjoying the air conditioning, basking in the sun, curling up on the sofa, and having a good sleep. How wonderful!
Soon, we arrived at our destination.
Gu Chaoyu chose one of the most upscale pet living centers in the city.
As soon as I entered the door, a young woman with exquisite dress and perfect makeup walked over quickly in high heels.
"Doctor Gu? What a coincidence! Are you here to buy something for your pet too?"
Gu Chaoyu nodded politely.
The woman seemed oblivious to his indifference. Her gaze fell on the cat bag in his hand. She immediately assumed the air of a seasoned cat expert and said enthusiastically, "Doctor Gu, is this your first time raising a cat? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I've raised my ragdoll to such a sleek and smooth form."
Lin Xiaomiao curled her lips in her bag.
[My love rival radar is ringing! This woman's eyes are almost tearing when she looks at the doctor!]
Gu Chaoyu didn't respond and pushed the shopping cart straight to the cat food area.
The woman followed him and saw that Gu Chaoyu was looking at a mid-to-high-end domestic brand. She immediately said in a superior tone, "Doctor Gu, this cat food only has good advertising. It's actually commercial food. It has too much starch and is not good for cats. My cats eat imported grain-free natural food. Look at that brand over there. It's especially good for their coat."
She pointed to a gorgeously packaged box of imported grain on the top shelf.
Lin Xiaomiao was so angry in the cat bag that her paws were itching.
[Bullshit! The brand she's referring to was recently exposed for quality control issues, with several batches showing issues! This one I'm looking at is the most recognized value for money, with a clean formula and high meat content!]
He can't speak human language, but he can act!
Lin Xiaomao immediately slapped the grid in the cat bag with her claws frantically, and called out "Meow! Meow!" at the shelf that she liked, with an extremely firm attitude.
Gu Chaoyu had no interest in the woman's preaching. Seeing Lin Xiaomao's reaction, he immediately squatted down and said to the little guy in the cat bag with a smile: "Oh? You like this?"
At the same time, he clearly read the woman's thoughts: [Hmph, what does a found cat know? But this is a good opportunity to show him that I have good taste.]
Gu Chaoyu's eyes turned cold instantly.
He stood up and without saying a word, decisively picked up the big bag of cat food that Lin Xiaomiao had chosen and put it into the shopping cart.
Then, he turned to the woman whose smile was already a little stiff and said politely, "Thank you for your advice, but I trust my cat's own choice."
The woman's expression instantly turned ugly.
Lin Xiaomiao wagged his tail proudly in the bag.
[Well done! Dr. Gu is awesome!]
The woman, clearly undeterred, followed him to the cat supplies section and pointed to a luxurious, castle-like cat climbing frame. She launched another offensive: "Doctor Gu, cats love climbing. This villa-style cat climbing frame is perfect. It'll look great in your home and reflect your owner's taste."
Lin Xiaomiao only took one look and started complaining in her heart.
[Looks good, but doesn't work! It's all plywood, so it must smell bad! And those little platforms are so flashy and hard to jump on! I don't like it!]
He tried to stick half of his head out of the cat bag and meowed at a corrugated cardboard cat scratching post next to him. The post had a simple and plain shape but was made of natural sisal, which looked very wear-resistant and scratch-resistant. He even stretched out his claws and tried hard to reach in that direction.
This time, Gu Chaoyu didn't even hesitate. He directly picked up the simple cat scratching board that Lin Xiaomiao liked and put it into the shopping cart.
He even lowered his head and said gently to Lin Xiao Miao in the cat bag: "Okay, I'll listen to you. This is more practical."
The woman was completely speechless, and her face, which was delicately made up, looked red with anger. It was quite interesting.
After paying the bill, Gu Chaoyu walked towards the parking lot carrying bags.
The woman, still determined, chased after him, making a final effort beside the car: "Doctor Gu, there are a lot of things to pay attention to when raising a cat. How about... we add a green bubble? It will be easier to share cat-raising experiences in the future?"
As Gu Chaoyu put his things into the trunk, he clearly read her true thoughts at the moment: "Hurry up and agree! If you add me as a friend, I can chat with you every day! I just can't believe that a beautiful woman like me can't compare to a found cat! If a cat can easily live in your house, I can definitely do it too if I try hard!"
Gu Chaoyu slammed the trunk shut.
He turned around and said the most heartless words to the woman who was smiling perfectly: "No need."
"My neighbor is a writer. He's very interested in raising cats for his writing," he said slowly. "If I don't understand something, I can just ask him directly. It's very convenient."
After saying that, he opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away in a cloud of dust under the woman's astonished gaze.
Inside the car, Gu Chaoyu glanced at the cat in the passenger seat's cat bag. The fat orange cat looked so proud and almost danced with joy. He couldn't help but stretch out his finger and gently tapped its little nose through the mesh.
He lowered his voice, so that only the two of them could hear, and chuckled softly:
"Orange~~"
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and when Lin Xiaomao raised her head in confusion, he slowly uttered the next sentence.
"You really are a little jealous, aren't you...?"
