Chapter 2
Ning Wensong, who was sleeping soundly on the bed with her hands splayed out, was so frightened by the scream that she jumped up and stomped on Shen Che's face, waking Shen Che up as well.
He sat up groggily, touching his face with five scratch marks, and began to wonder if he had made a mistake by putting the cat bed on his bedside table, but the hospital only had one room on the top floor.
Forget it, he wouldn't feel comfortable leaving such a small cat to sleep alone.
After tidying himself up, Shen Che kissed Ning Wensong, closed the door, and went downstairs. "Screaming so early in the morning is disturbing the peace. Is there no law?"
So gentlemanly? How comfortable! Let's make money first! Once I have money, I'll buy my own house!
Stay away from men, even Chen Che.
Ning Wensong changed her clothes while thinking about the future. Her experiences in her past life had made her somewhat afraid of men. Even though Chen Che was her savior and they were both cats, she still needed to be wary.
Hmph.
Once she was free from the fear of survival, her arrogant nature slowly emerged, but Ning Wensong would never admit that she was arrogant; it was just a normal human temperament.
Hearing the commotion downstairs getting louder, Ning Wensong rushed downstairs and found the blue cat huddled at a woman's feet, trembling, clearly stressed.
That woman must be the cat owner that Chen Che mentioned.
"What's wrong with your hospital! The cat was fine when it came in, how did it become like this? Do you know how much money I spent on its styling? I don't care about anything else, you have to compensate me for my losses, or I'll sue you!" Zhang Die came to pick up her cat early in the morning and found it in this state.
Putting everything else aside, this is unprecedented and too unconventional.
Ning Wensong is angry!
Even though Blue Cat was in such a state, she still turned a blind eye, only caring about her own vanity. Just as she was about to step forward to confront her, Shen Che stopped her.
After listening to her speech, Chen Che's eyes darkened, and the veins on his hands bulged. There's a reason why the mortality rate of cats in the human world is so high.
He closed his eyes, suppressing his anger, and said, "You only care about the shape? You don't even look at its body? If it weren't for the way you cut it, wouldn't it have been inflamed for so long?! If the current shape hadn't exposed the wounded skin, it probably wouldn't have survived much longer!"
He became more and more agitated as he spoke, explaining that it was because of people like this that the lifespan of ordinary cats had decreased.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Die felt guilty for a moment, but still stubbornly argued, "This is my cat, how dare you interfere? I don't care, you have to pay compensation."
Ning Wensong couldn't hold back any longer. This was a worthless person obsessed with money. She brushed aside Shen Che's hand that was shielding her behind his back, walked up to Chen Die, and said firmly, "If you have the guts, go ahead and sue me, expose me! The country just enacted an animal protection law and established animal protection organizations. Let's see if your reasoning is right or if the public's judgment is truly accurate!"
After saying that, he picked up the blue cat and put it back in the medical kit, and then "asked Zhang Die to leave".
Shen Che was deeply shaken; this was what he had pursued all his life. After regaining his composure, he jokingly asked Ning Wensong, "Does such an organization and law really exist?"
"It will happen, it definitely will." Ning Wensong stared into his eyes, her determination unwavering.
After thinking it over, Chen Che decided that if the other party tried to argue later, he would go to the counter, take out three thousand, and hand it to the person who was still standing at the door.

On the other side.
After taking the money, Zhang Die felt a little guilty, but also felt that she hadn't done anything wrong. Torn between these two thoughts, she decided to post it online, not believing that everyone would side with them.
She took a picture when she saw Xiao Lan, uploaded it online, and anxiously awaited the public's response.
Looking at the completely different Xiao Lan on her phone, and remembering the trembling Xiao Lan who had just been huddled at her feet, a wave of panic washed over her, but she still insisted that she was right.
A photo of a blue cat cropped into a heart shape ignited the internet that morning.
"What a novel design! I actually think it looks better than those of the masters!"
"After seeing this a few times, I feel like our previous aesthetic sense was garbage? This is the kind of style that truly makes pets look good and stay healthy!"
Do you remember the winning design from last year's styling competition?
"Is that the guy who grafted calico cat fur onto a calico cat's head and made it into a spiky mess? Ugh, it's so ugly! Has anyone come and fixed the cat's hairstyle yet?!"
Looking at the comments section filled with praise, Zhang Die's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but start to reflect on herself.
She wanted Xiao Lan to return it, but the other party had every reason not to, especially since the other party had already given her 3,000.
She returned home in a daze and spent a lonely week there. Without Little Blue, who meowed all day long, the house felt cold and desolate.
Only then did Zhang Die begin to truly regret it...
—
The hospital was not disturbed after Zhang Die left.
Ning Wensong remained angry until noon. Shen Che watched as she turned back into a cat in anger and kept scratching at the curtains. He couldn't help but laugh, rubbing his forehead. She really was a little cat.
Seeing the curtains almost completely striped, he couldn't help but say, "Stop grabbing them, they're already just shredded pieces."
Ning Wensong stopped, looked at the curtains in front of him, and decided to repay him when he made money in the future.
To cheer her up, Chen Che decided to cook for her himself. In the past, when he was alone, he would always order takeout, but the kitten needed to be taken good care of and couldn't eat those things.
He remembered that he still had a lot of groceries he had bought recently, so he decided to show off his cooking skills. The busy cooking time flew by.
After being carried to the dining table, Ning Wensong was stunned by the eight dishes that looked like a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. "Did you make all of this? There's so much! How can the two of us finish it?"
Seeing the gluttonous look on her face, Chen Che's mood improved considerably, and his sense of accomplishment from cooking reached its peak.
"It's okay, we can finish it." With that, he picked her up and carried her into the bedroom, patted her nose, and closed the door—a series of smooth, effortless movements.
Ning Wensong, now human, stood there in the bedroom, stunned, then burst into laughter. Smelling the delicious aroma wafting from the living room, she quickly dressed and rushed to the table, sitting down. "Let's eat!"
Just as Shen Che said, transforming into a cat and then into a human consumes a huge amount of energy. Ning Wensong still felt unsatisfied after finishing her meal. She licked her lips, opened her big eyes, and looked at Shen Che, "Can we have the same setup tonight? I'll help you with the work this afternoon."
Shen Che, naturally, wouldn't refuse being stared at like that. He was eager for someone to have dinner with him, so he readily agreed.
"By the way, that person gave me some inspiration this morning. Do you need me to create an account for you and upload the designs you created?" Shen Che asked after a moment's thought. Ning Wensong didn't have an identity right now, so it was a bit difficult to deal with.
Ning Wensong's dimples reappeared. She hadn't expected Chen Che to consider so much for her. "Of course! I really need it! But since the other cats at the hospital are healthy, I can't use them for styling. Speaking of which, are there any stray cats around the hospital? I can go catch some!"
Stray cats? Shen Che felt embarrassed thinking about the group of stray cats that had been scared away after he transformed into his original form, but he didn't show it on his face. They should have returned by now.
"There should be. I'll go with you this afternoon. Don't go alone."
Ning Wensong volunteered to do the dishes, and the two of them took a nap before heading out to catch the cat!
But no matter how Ning Wensong tried to persuade him before leaving the house, Shen Che resolutely refused to change his original form. After a brief struggle at the hospital entrance, Ning Wensong gave up and transformed back into her cat form in the bedroom. Now, Shen Che carried her on his shoulder as they went out.
"How come we've walked so far and still haven't seen him?" Ning Wensong was standing tall. She only realized Shen Che's height after she turned into a human. He was actually 190 cm tall! Now, even standing on Shen Che's shoulder, she was still a giant cat.
"Almost there, I can sense the presence of other cats on the right!" Shen Che lifted Ning Wensong up and placed her on the ground to point out the direction.
Ning Wensong sniffed, his eyes lit up, and he transformed into a little cannonball, rushing straight into the flower bushes. After a while, he crawled out with a paw bigger than his head in his mouth. The paw belonged to an orange cat with hearts in its eyes.
Shen Che smelled the courtship signals emanating from the orange cat and his face darkened. He quickly stepped forward, put Ning Wensong into the bag on his chest, and grabbed the orange cat by the scruff of its neck with his other hand.
"When you get back and turn into a human, this cat is in heat. I was wondering why there was a cat here; it turns out it was marking its territory by peeing everywhere." Chen Che gritted his teeth.
If I had known he would come out on his own, Ning Wensong would have stayed at the hospital and waited for him.
Ning Wensong didn't know that she was only a month old, and that she was a human and wouldn't get along with this kind of cat... but she still accepted that Shen Che was doing it for her own good.
The two had different thoughts along the way. Ning Wensong was busy conceiving his work and decided to start creating it as soon as he returned to the hospital!
He was engrossed in fiddling with a new account on the sofa.
After calming the orange cat down, Ning Wensong began to think about his position while circling around him.
This orange cat has long, messy fur with indistinct markings. Combining his current thoughts with what he had just thought, Ning Wensong picked up the thinning shears and clippers, chuckling softly, and began!
She first combed and trimmed the fur until the pattern was fully revealed. There was a lot of fur on the face, so Ning Wensong thought for a moment and trimmed the orange cat's face to be rounded, keeping the stubborn fur, which was both cute and unrestrained.
After thinking for a while, I started using clippers to make star shapes on the orange cat's legs and tail tip. I was busy for three hours, and the afternoon was over.
Ning Wensong looked at the adorable orange cat that had just been born with satisfaction, and then looked at Chen Che beside him with a showy expression.
"Well done! This is the first time I've seen such a safe yet unique design. By the way, I need to buy you a phone so you can go online and look at those outrageously ugly designs." Shen Che praised her as she wished, only to realize that he hadn't prepared many things.
"It's okay, I want to buy my own phone. Quickly post this online! I hope a lot of people will understand me!" Ning Wensong didn't want to rely on him for everything; she wanted to rely on herself. If this look became popular, people would come to her for styling.
The two guided the orange cat to pose better and took many photos.
When the orange cat became uncooperative, Ning Wensong would squat to the side like a cat, while the orange cat would just stand there dumbfounded, completely at her mercy. She found this very amusing, but Shen Che's expression seemed to be getting darker and darker.
As dusk approached, the golden sunset danced into the room. Ning Wensong was positioned right by the window, and the light shone on her, turning her into a golden ball. Her fluffy appearance softened Shen Che's expression.
After having dinner together, they uploaded the photos to their newly created account, hoping for good news the next day.
I slept well all night.

A set of unusual photos of an orange cat went viral online after netizens surfed the internet late at night.
"Who did this?! I need all their information in three seconds! My cat's fur is all messed up by the sticky mouse trap, and he's become depressed."
"I suddenly feel like I've had an epiphany! Those famous stylists are doing such awful work."
"Why does this look so similar to the Blue Cat design I saw on Xiaohongshu a few days ago? It feels like it was designed by the same person."
"I agree with the comment above, the details are handled exactly the same!"
...
“Teacher Liu, this person is definitely just trying to attract attention. What does this look like? Your black and white three-flower sculpture won a major award. How can it be compared to this?” The assistant kept wiping his sweat and spoke cautiously to Liu Xing.
Liu Xing chuckled, "How badly netizens are belittling my work!"
"Tomorrow, go and find out this person's address, find someone to pretend to be a fan and expose the fake, and livestream his haircutting process. I want to see who can create such an unprecedented style."
