"Pfft..." Jiu Yebai couldn't help but laugh. Forgive him! It really wasn't intentional! He had genuinely forgotten that Maomao was also a minor celebrity!
He hadn't expected this and was stunned for a moment before he realized that it wasn't unusual to bump into internet celebrities or stars in a shopping mall like this. However, they had just been strolling around for so long.
Forget about running into fans, even when I got close to the sales assistants, not a single person recognized the cat...
"What's the name of your combination again?" Jiu Yebai pondered. "Oh, it's 'Honey Nine-tenths Sweet'."
The cat pouted, "Five points."
"Sorry, I said four extra points." Jiu Yebai was a little embarrassed, but he still couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmph, laugh if you want," Cat said. Anyway, it was Jiu Xintian who had a bad reputation in the past.
"Have you ever thought about... leaving the entertainment industry?" Jiu Yebai suddenly asked.
The cat asked, "Why?"
Judging from his tone, he seemed quite puzzled.
Jiu Yebai said, "It's too chaotic. Even if you do nothing, the Jiu family can still support you. Just apologize to your older brother properly, and you won't have to suffer so much in the entertainment industry."
It was rare for Jiu Yebai to have a calm and open conversation with the cat.
Without even thinking, the cat refused, saying, "No."
The cat's attention was completely drawn to the phrase "make a proper apology," but she refused to admit her mistake, absolutely not.
Jiu Yebai, however, thought that although the cat's personality had changed drastically, she still hadn't given up on the idea of entering the entertainment industry, so to avoid any unpleasantness, he didn't bring it up again.
“That’s your older brother,” Cat suddenly said. “My younger brother.”
Jiu Yebai froze, unable to stop the image of his older brother's icy face flashing before his eyes as he called out to the cat, "Sister..."
I shuddered violently; the image was terrifying no matter how I looked at it.
In the end, the cat didn't continue shopping. After the two returned, as soon as they got out of the car, Jiu Yebai stared at the empty parking space, and after a moment of surprise, said knowingly:
"Big brother is back."
"Hmm?" Cat was a little curious. She thought she would see Jiu Yunchi, but she found that he was not in the villa at all.
"The company in Munich just went public, and my brother has been there for over a month. There's a lot of work piling up here." Jiu Yebai explained, implying that even family members probably wouldn't get to see the incredibly busy Jiu Yunchi.
This was probably the first time Jiu Yebai had mentioned the Jiu family company to Maomao.
I don't care about the cats, I'll see them eventually anyway.
However, after going upstairs, her gaze turned to the corridor on the right.
Her bedroom and Jiu Yebai's bedroom are both on the left, while Jiu Yunchi's bedroom is on the right. Since she came to this house, she has never paid attention to the other half.
"Where are you going?" Jiu Yebai took a sip of water and saw Maomao turn to the right. He quickly ran up to her, "Don't touch Big Brother's things, or he'll beat you up."
This is a well-intentioned warning from Jiu Yebai. Jiu Yunchi has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and a territorial instinct as strong as a leopard's.
However, he has one advantage: he doesn't force people. But if you go to his territory, that's a different story!
Having been beaten up since childhood, Jiu Yebai had developed a conditioned reflex that he would never step into the right half of the corridor.
But the cat said, "I'm not afraid of him."
As she spoke, she touched a door; in her memory, this was Jiu Yunchi's study.
Jiu Yebai quickly stopped her, "I'm not joking with you, there's nothing to see here, can't you play something else?"
The cat disagreed, saying, "No, I insist on going in here. If he hits me, I'll hit him first."
Jiu Ye Bai suddenly thought of the way the cat waved its belt... If he had been whipping his older brother...
Another shiver ran through me; the horror had escalated.
In that brief moment of hesitation, the cat had already pushed open the door and gone inside!
Jiu Yebai clung to the doorway, making a final struggle, "Don't joke around, you can't beat him, and Big Brother isn't as easy to talk to as I am."
Jiu Yebai boasted about himself without batting an eye, and no outsider would ever know that he was tamed by a beating from a cat.
The cat sat in the middle of the study, looking up at the bookshelves that reached the ceiling. A faint scent of sandalwood wafted in the air. There were truly a lot of books here!
"Silly little brother, you're so long-winded," the cat said to him with its back to him.
Jiu Yebai could almost picture the look of disgust on the cat's face when it spoke.
When persuasion failed, Jiu Yebai had no choice but to say, "You must put everything you've touched back in its original place. Call me if you need anything."
After saying that, he left.
With the door closed, only Maomao was left in the study. It was quiet all around, but Maomao couldn't help but smile. She suddenly felt very comfortable, as if she had returned to her own little world.
The study has a clever layout; the bookshelves are embedded in the wall, and there is a small staircase leading to a loft-like, protruding section of the attic.
A simple ebony desk sits in front of the window, its surface neat and tidy, with the Four Treasures of the Study arranged in an orderly fashion on the right.
Yes, it is indeed the Four Treasures of the Study: brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Apart from that, it's a simple fountain pen.
Outside the window is the villa's garden, and beyond that, a vast expanse of lush green grass, offering an excellent view.
The cat turned its wheelchair and curiously browsed the books on the bookshelf, wondering if Jiu Yunchi had read all of these books.
"Wow, we should have discovered this place sooner," the cat said excitedly.
She took down many books and quickly flipped through them.
Cat is not a scholar, but she is literate and can read without any problem. Moreover, her mental strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. She can read ten lines at a glance and has a photographic memory. This is not a joke to her.
