Chapter 28
Although the president agreed to let Li Miao and Pei Huai join the association together.
But I still can't help but worry that Pei Huai is not suitable.
Pei Huai probably won't be able to participate in their future rescue operations.
Otherwise, the stray cats, who are already afraid of being caught by humans, would be even worse off.
With Pei Huai, this formidable weapon, around, the cats will only become more vigilant, greatly increasing the difficulty of catching them.
When the president frowned slightly as he pondered, Pei Huai noticed his expression and assumed that the president was still struggling with the matter.
After all, the physical condition of being rejected by cats contradicts the association.
To prove that he wasn't so "useless".
Pei Huai pursed his lips, unlocked his phone, and randomly selected a number of items from the official flagship store of a major cat food brand, putting them into his shopping cart.
“From now on, I can buy some cat food and cat treats for the association every month, and I can also help our association with its official WeChat account and create a dedicated website for showcasing adoptions.”
"?!" The president swallowed hard after hearing him rattle off so much in one breath. He sounded like a rare talent indeed.
The president stared intently at the numerous bags of cat food weighing fifty pounds in the shopping cart.
I'm tempted.
This much cat food will last the cats a long time.
How could you bribe him with something!
That's absolutely wicked!
With so much food, the president couldn't help but drool.
Their association was originally self-organized, although Kyoto University generously allocated funds to each club.
However, their association is different from other activity groups. Whether it is feeding, rescuing, or neutering cats, each activity costs money, and funds are often in short supply.
The president then noticed that Pei Huai's sneakers were quite valuable; they were limited edition collectibles, and if they were authentic, a pair would cost eight thousand yuan.
At this moment, Pei Huai was not human in his eyes, but a walking money tree!
The president almost couldn't resist the temptation of the cat supplies and agreed to let Pei Huai pay for them.
The president swallowed back the words "agree" before he could say them.
Pei Huai is a freshman, while he is a junior. How could he take advantage of him like that?
Li Miao blinked her thick, long eyelashes lightly, watching with cat-like eyes. (jpg)
"No, even though you are very capable, we are a legitimate association. How can we expect newly joined volunteers to pay us every month? That would completely contradict the original purpose of our association."
“We usually do external liaison work, and we contact some large companies or stray cat rescue organizations, and they also provide us with some assistance.”
"As for your feelings, I understand."
"Welcome~" The president extended his hand to Pei Huai, a sincere and friendly smile on his lips.
"Thank you." Pei Huai looked down at the president's hand, reached out and shook it gently.
"Since you don't accept my offer, what about the donations from companies that already donate to stray cat rescue every year?"
The president paused slightly, then subconsciously asked, "Do you know any related companies? Are you very familiar with them? Can you raise funds for them?"
"I suppose so, Pei Huan Technology Co., Ltd."
"I'll give you the contact information of the person in charge of this project. You can contact me again if you have any questions later."
Pei Huai's mother rescues stray animals every year.
Pei Huai felt that if he gave more support to the Cat Association at Peking University, his mother would definitely agree.
Pei Huan... and Pei Huai both share the surname Pei.
Li Qingge and the president reacted instantly.
Could Pei Huai be the son of Pei Yanxing, the chairman of that globally influential technology company?
It's important to know that Pei Huan Technology Co., Ltd. is a large company encompassing multiple fields, with businesses including smartphones, computers, and consumer electronics. ①
The top students in the Computer Science Department of Peking University all aspire to be like Pei Huan, hoping to intern or work for him during their junior year, senior year, and after graduation.
Pei Huan offers not only the highest salaries in the industry to recent graduates from Peking University, but also exceptionally good benefits.
"The main reason is that our club already has Pei Huan's support..." the president said.
Although he doesn't directly transfer money to the association, Pei Huan donates charitable funds to Peking University every year.
The grant from Kyoto University to the association is very likely a part of that money.
"Really?" Pei Huai was taken aback; he had no idea.
"Then let's ask again and give the association more directly." Pei Huai said this very naturally.
The president gasped. Could he really contact the head of Pei Huan's Public Affairs Center directly?
It's like a dream.
Moreover, if I can build a good relationship with Pei Huai, I might actually be able to intern at Pei Huan's place in the future.
But the president only ever thought about using connections.
Receiving more donations to rescue cats is already a rare and precious thing.
That's how it was decided that I would join the club.
Before leaving, Li Miao held the coal ball and played with it for a while.
“Coal Ball, your name really does match your appearance,” Li Miao said to the cat in her arms.
"Meow~ (Tch, I'm clearly the noble Silver Spear Dragging an Iron Bottle!)"
"Meow~ (It's not a black lump of coal.)"
"Mmm~ Meow meow~ (But since they've all given me this name, I'll just accept it reluctantly.)"
"Hahaha." Li Miao couldn't help but chuckle.
The scene of him holding the coal briquettes was heartwarming and loving, a picture of peaceful tranquility.
The soft laughter drew the attention of the other three.
They were all curious whether Li Miao was communicating with the cat again.
I'm so curious!
Li Miao: "Meow~ Meow~ (So that's how it is. No wonder you're so understanding, Coal Ball!)"
Li Miao: "Meow~ (Since you're so understanding, can my best friend pet you?)"
"Woo?" Coal Ball whined and whimpered in the boy's arms, turned its head to look at Pei Huai, and meowed reluctantly in response.
“Meow~ (You can only touch the top of the head, not the back)” Coal Ball said.
Having received Meiqiu's agreement, Li Miao immediately walked towards Pei Huai with the cat in her arms.
"Alright, touch the coal lump now, it agrees."
"But you can only touch the top of the head, not other places."
Pei Huai's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, a warm feeling rising in his heart. He hadn't expected that Li Miao would consider him again this time.
Last time I talked to Xiaohua, all I wanted was for him to pet the cat, and this time it's the same thing again.
"Thank you for speaking up for me." Pei Huai approached the cat, raised his slender wrist, and stroked the cat's head with his fingertips.
The coal ball even gave a couple of polite whimpers.
"Thank you, coal ball," Pei Huai said.
"You may call it the esteemed Silver Spear Dragging Iron Bottle Meow Meow."
Pei Huai: "?"
Li Miao: "Coal ball prefers to be called a two-legged creature."
Pei Huai's lips curved into a slight smile, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "Thank you, esteemed Silver Spear Dragging Iron Bottle Meow Meow."
Coal ball: "Meow meow meow~o( =∩ω∩= )m~" You know what's good for you.
After coaxing Coal Ball into a good mood, Coal Ball became even more respectful to Pei Huai, rubbing its cat head against the boy's palm.
Pei Huai's heart immediately softened, and he moved the kitten even harder with his fingertips.
Li Qingge and the president eagerly gathered around, curiously asking Coal Ball if he really preferred the title "Silver Spear Dragging Iron Bottle Meow Meow Master".
"It's true. It really likes the name you gave it, Coal Ball. It's just that its tail is white, so Coal Ball is a little less fitting, but it's still pretty good."
"Wow, the esteemed Silver Spear Iron Bottle Meow Meow! Come and give your sister a kiss." Li Qingge couldn't wait to hug the coal ball into her arms.
She was initially skeptical, but to her surprise, Coal Ball actually sat up and nuzzled her cheek.
Aaaaaah!
Li Qingge felt like she was about to be driven crazy by cuteness.
And if Li Miao can really communicate with the cats, wouldn't she be able to get every single cat to rub against her in the future?
Just thinking about it, Li Qingge was completely immersed in a blissful daydream of being surrounded by cats.
***
It's getting late.
Li Miao's stomach rumbled loudly.
"I'll add you to the group chat first, and I'll announce any events in the group chat later," the guild leader said.
Everything has been taken care of regarding joining the cat association.
Pei Huai and Li Miao hadn't had dinner yet. After saying goodbye to their seniors, the two left the club office.
The setting sun melts gold.
As they strolled through the Kyoto University campus, the two were bathed in golden light, their eyes and brows tinged with a soft gold, as if they were glowing.
Li Miao walked side by side with Pei Huai, pouting and whispering, "So even without my help, you can still get into the club on your own."
Li Miao is an innocent cat who has just come out of the mountains.
I've never even heard of Pei Huan.
Judging from the surprised and excited reactions of the senior student and the president, Pei Huan seems to be a very famous company.
"I was originally planning to use this incident to ask you for some compensation..." Li Miao muttered to herself.
Little did she know that Pei Huai had overheard all her rambling.
"Heh." Pei Huai chuckled softly, glancing sideways at the boy's delicate and handsome face, and asked leisurely, "Want some payment? Do you want cat treats, cat food, or freeze-dried food?"
Li Miao couldn't help but drool.
Only silly cats make choices; smart cats want them all!
"Can I have both?" Li Miao's amber eyes shone even brighter in the sunset, like the purest and most translucent gemstones, sparkling brilliantly.
"You want them all?" Pei Huai couldn't help but chuckle.
"Mmm~" ~o( =∩ω∩= )m
Seeing that there seemed to be a chance to get the reward, Li Miao's face was filled with excitement and joy, and she could already see her rich and bright future.
"If you could only have one, which would you like the most?" Pei Huai blinked lightly and asked casually.
This put Li Miao in a difficult position, as she had to choose the best one from the three delicious foods.
Li Miao subconsciously licked her lips, recalling the taste of the three delicacies.
"Then how about some cat treats? Can you give me a few more as a reward? Don't be stingy, be more generous!" Li Miao said. "Your family owns a big company!"
Pei Huai was amused by Li Miao's straightforward yet witty words.
"Oh, I see~~" Pei Huai said meaningfully, drawing out his words, "So you like cat treats the most."
"Because cat treats are the tastiest!" Li Miao strongly suspects that the cat treats contain ingredients that kittens find completely irresistible.
He's not a gluttonous little cat.
But it was completely controlled by the cat food.
Li Miao had checked the price of cat treats. Pei Huai bought cat treats that retailed for 5 yuan each, and the discounted price was close to 4 yuan.
For Li Miao, who wasn't exactly wealthy to begin with, it was still a bit expensive to eat as a daily snack.
"But shouldn't you ask Miaomiao first? What if Miaomiao wants the canned food more than the cat treats? Wouldn't you have gotten the wrong thing?"
Pei Huai stared intently into the boy's clear and pure eyes.
It's as if you can see into the deepest part of Li Miao's eyes and know everything.
"Hehehehe." Li Miao scratched her face, squeezing out a series of perfunctory laughs from her throat, trying to get away with it by being cute.
"Because I know Miaomiao very well. Miaomiao wants cat treats the most," Li Miao said confidently.
“I asked you for payment because I wanted it for Miaomiao; otherwise, I would have asked for other gifts,” Limiao said.
Pei Huai: "Oh, okay, then I'll buy some more cat treats as a gift for you."
Pei Huai: "But I thought you would want cat treats, since they are the most expensive in terms of unit price."
"..."
"…………"
Li Miao stopped in her tracks, looking at Pei Huai with her big, watery eyes, and said pitifully, "Can I change it? Can I change it to cat food?"
That's so stupid, he can't even keep track of the accounts.
I definitely want the most expensive cat food. If you want cat treats, you can buy them yourself!
Li Miao inwardly complained that she was a stupid cat.
He even boasted that he was the smartest, waaaaaaah ┭┮﹏┭┮
The little cat inside Li Miao cried uncontrollably, regretting the decision she had just made.
"Silly," Pei Huai muttered to himself, raising his hand to rub Li Miao's head. "Never mind, I'll just buy them all for Miao Miao. Buying a lot at once will definitely make her happy."
Li Miao felt the large hands resting on his head were warm and cozy.
"Pei Huai, you're such a good person! Even if Miao Miao becomes a cat ghost, she'll remember you," Li Miao said gratefully.
Pei Huai's temple throbbed; he'd been friend-zoned again, and then told he'd remember him even as a ghost.
Pei Huai said helplessly, "I already have enough evil spirits following me."
“One more wouldn’t be too many,” Li Miao joked.
Pei Huai pinched Li Miao's face hard: "Try talking nonsense again. My Miao Miao will never become a cat demon. He wants to live a healthy life."
"Hahahaha, I think so too," Li Miao said confidently. "Thank you for your kind words."
Too lazy to eat out, Pei Huai and Li Miao headed straight for the cafeteria.
At this time of day, there's practically no food left in the cafeteria.
Pei Huai and Li Miao then chose the specialty dishes made fresh at the small window.
Li Miao never expected that the so-called "maocai" (a type of Sichuan hot pot) would be so expensive!
He's just a little cat who loves to eat meat, not a little cat with a bulging wallet!
Li Miao was shocked by the price of the hot pot. He only chose a little bit of meat, which was just enough for him, so how could it cost 28 yuan?
I was originally planning to back out and say I didn't want it before the auntie started cooking it.
The auntie cooked the hot pot with lightning speed.
They didn't give Li Miao a chance to regret it at all.
"Ah, this..." Li Miao's expression immediately fell, and she could only take out her meal card to pay.
"I'll pay for this meal too." Pei Huai stood behind Li Miao and took out his meal card to swipe for Li Miao.
Although Li Miao felt a little embarrassed that Pei Huai was treating her again, she was still very happy inside.
Since I'm being taken care of by Pei Huai again, why don't I let him massage my breasts tonight?!
At that time, Pei Huai will be so moved that he'll cry!
...
After Pei Huai and Li Miao finished their meal, they returned to their dormitory and were bombarded with questions by Liang Yixuan and Li Hang. They asked Pei Huai whether he had successfully joined the Cat Association.
“Yes, he said his family can donate to the community,” Li Miao said.
"Hey, so it was bribery with that evil money, I get it." Liang Yixuan and Pei Huai both had some understanding of each other's family backgrounds.
After all, university clubs need a certain amount of funding to hold activities.
"Donating to a club?" Li Hang looked surprised upon hearing such an unfamiliar and niche term. He couldn't help but ask Pei Huai what his family did to be so wealthy.
“Pei Huan is from their family,” Liang Yixuan said.
Li Hang let out a thunderous shout: "Damn it—!"
"Dad, please give me a leg to cling to. Why didn't you say your family belonged to Pei Huan earlier?" Li Hang was completely impressed by Pei Huai.
Not only is he smart and handsome, but he also comes from a wealthy family.
"Is Pei Huan very big?" Li Miao, who had little concept of companies, asked.
“Yes, it’s a Fortune 500 company. Every year, it donates hundreds of millions of yuan to schools and social welfare organizations,” Li Hang said.
"Anyway, there's an endless supply of money," Li Hang said in plain language.
"Wow~~~ That's awesome." Li Miao sat on her stool and couldn't help but clap her hands.
“It’s not that exaggerated.” Pei Huai’s neck felt slightly hot. “Those are my father’s achievements, not mine.”
"Haha, you're too modest," Li Hang laughed.
During their casual conversation, Pei Huai noticed that Li Miao was staring at him intently, as if she wanted to say something but held back, hesitant to speak.
Is there something you want to tell him?
Or was it that Li Miao was frightened by the situation at his home?
Pei Huai felt it inconvenient to ask directly, so he opened WeChat and sent a message to Li Miao: 【Is there something you want to say to me?】
Li Miao tilted his head, not understanding why Pei Huai would send him a private message even in front of him.
However, since Pei Huai had asked...
Then don't blame him for being impolite!
Li Miao: [Wow, your family is so rich! The gift for Miao Miao has to be at least double, double!]
[A cat drooling.jpg]
Pei Huai: "..."
Feeling a bit like laughing and crying, he replied: "...Okay, three times is fine too."
Li Miao immediately stood up, jumped up and down with joy, and even made excited sounds.
Liang Yixuan and Li Hang: "???"
Li Miao looked at Pei Huai with eyes full of gratitude.
Li Miao: I'll stomp you to death tonight!
So that evening, when Pei Huai asked Li Miao if Miao Miao would come again that night...
Li Miao immediately replied firmly: 【Come on, I'm coming, I'll be coming. I'll be here when Liang Yixuan and Li Hang go to bed together.】
Pei Huai sighed heavily in his heart; he couldn't wait any longer.
After Liang Yixuan and Li Hang finally washed up and went to bed, they played on their phones.
It was late at night.
Li Miao's courage grew even more.
Having previously run directly from her own bed to Pei Huai's bed, Li Miao was incredibly audacious this time as well.
After turning back into a chubby little bread, it strode directly to Pei Huai's bed with its white gloves on.
Pei Huai had been waiting for a long time.
He paused in breathing when he felt the weight pressing down on his calves.
"Meow~ (Good evening~)" Li Miao leisurely licked her paw.
Before she could even lick it clean, Pei Huai pulled her into his arms and began to roughly fondle her.
Pei Huai first pinched the cat's paw pads, then rubbed his chin against Li Miao's cheeks, and then stroked the cat's chin.
"Meow meow meow~ (It itches, it itches so much, why are you tickling me~)" Li Miao meowed twice in a high-pitched voice.
"Miaomiao, can I have a kiss?" Pei Huai asked, holding Miaomiao under her armpits.
"Meow! (Oh no!)"
Just as Li Miao finished meowing, Pei Huai forced himself on her and kissed her hard.
Li Miao's forelimbs hung limply and listlessly.
Is it useful to say anything? It's completely useless.
Li Miao gave up the struggle.
Pei Huai turned over and laid the cat on its back on the pillow.
Her soft, white belly was exposed.
"Meow~ (Don't suck my tummy~)" Li Miao tried hard to cover her tummy with her two little hands.
Seeing Miao Miao's rejection, Pei Huai had no choice but to give up and regretfully let go of her.
Don't be disappointed. Li Miao flipped over and jumped onto Pei Huai's chest.
"Huh? Miaomiao?" Before Pei Huai could understand what Miaomiao was going to do, the little cat stepping on his abs had already started rhythmically stepping on his abs with its front paws.
Pei Huai gasped.
What is Miaomiao doing...!
The kitten is kneading him, it's actually kneading him!
So cute!
Pei Huai stared wide-eyed at Miao Miao in disbelief.
Look at you, you useless bear! It's just a little stomping, you're not really going to cry from being so touched, are you? Li Miao proudly raised her tail and stomped even harder.
Pei Huai couldn't resist kissing the kitten.
Li Miao: "Meow~! (Don't steal my kiss!)"
Pei Huai felt lightheaded, as if he were having a sweet dream, being kneaded so diligently by such an adorable kitten as Miao Miao.
ah,
He could die without regrets in this life!
