Chapter 18: Pastry Chef Applicant



Walking to the familiar trash can, since it was still daytime, Shen Cheng could see everything in the alley clearly.

After a quick glance, Shen Cheng still didn't see any sign of anyone or any animal inside.

After looking around and seeing that there were no pedestrians around, Shen Cheng took a deep breath and called out tentatively: "Are you there?"

"Ding-dang--" A loud noise came from the corner of the alley. Shen Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. The sound didn't sound like something that could be made by a small animal.

Putting the bag of cake at his feet, Shen Cheng continued to say into the box: "I will come again in the evening."

“…” The alley was silent.

Smiling and shaking his head, Shen Cheng returned along the same route.

At the corner of the alley, a slender figure leaned against the wall with her hands folded on her chest, sometimes clenching and sometimes relaxing, as if she was struggling and fighting in her thoughts.

Finally, she seemed to finally figure it out, and she clenched her fists with hope...

Unlike the homeless begging on the street, in addition to relying on begging to make a living, they also have the opportunity to find a job in society to support their families if they have healthy hands and feet.

And what about cat girls? Their innate characteristics doom them to be unable to integrate into human society. They are not even qualified to beg. Since their birth, they can only hide in the shadows and rely on leftovers to maintain the basic activities of life.

However, humans are very different from cats in structure, both in terms of nutrition required and digestive system.

On the way home, Shen Cheng couldn't help but think of the question Shatang asked him that night.

——Then what does the Master think is the meaning of our creation?

I still vaguely remember Shen Cheng's answer at that time.

——Maybe the meaning of your existence is to live with us?

But is this really the case?

"Should I mention it to Huihui?" Chen Cheng admitted that he had softened his heart again - or perhaps he had never thought of giving up the cat girl in the first place, but just didn't know how to talk to Lin Yuhui.

If you say it directly to her, it would be like shouting "I want to open a Crystal Palace!"

After all, that was Lin Yuhui's home, not Shen Cheng's home...

Now Shen Cheng is just doing what he wants to do.

It was as if God was playing a joke on him, making him get involved with these creatures that should only exist in fantasy again and again, and if he turned a blind eye to their plight and even death, Shen Cheng asked himself if he could do it.

To use Lin Yuhui's words to scold him, he is a "good man who is rotten to the core" and a "gentle idiot who makes people feel distressed."

This is a compliment - at least Shen Cheng himself thinks so.

After strolling for such a long time, Shen Cheng had digested a lot of the food in his stomach.

After turning a corner, he saw a girl with a bob haircut standing at the door of the cat cafe from a distance. She looked about the same age as Shen Cheng, and her outstretched hand was hesitant in front of the door handle.

"We are closed today."

"Ah!" The girl with the bob haircut jumped like a frightened deer and quickly turned her head to look at Chen Cheng behind her. At the same time, Chen Cheng also saw the girl's face.

The delicate little round face looks very cute, and the eyebrows reveal a sense of weakness. The first impression people give is... easy to bully?

"Yes... I'm sorry!" The frail girl came up and bowed ninety degrees before immediately stepping aside, leaving Shen Cheng at a loss.

After calming down, Shen Cheng glanced at the recruitment notice posted at the door and asked tentatively: "Are you... here to apply for a job?"

Oops, I forgot to leave my phone number on it...

"Ah? Yes... yes!" The frail girl was stunned for a moment, then she stopped and shouted like a student who was pulled out by the instructor during military training.

Shen Cheng smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous, I'm the store manager here, come in with me."

After saying that, Shen Cheng pushed open the door and walked in, and the weak girl followed silently.

"What's your name?" Shen Cheng asked as they walked.

"Ah?" Faced with Shen Cheng's question, the weak girl who was thinking about something didn't react for a while.

"I asked you what your name is." Seeing the dazed look of the weak girl, Chen Cheng suddenly thought of how Shatang looked when she was sick, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Wen... Wen Yuanyuan!" Chen Cheng's laughter made her blush, but at the same time, the tension in her heart also faded a lot.

Shen Cheng responded with a smile: "My name is Shen Cheng, just call me by my name from now on."

Is this the manager of Light Spot Cat Cafe? He looks so young, probably around my age...

Looking at Shen Cheng's moving back, Wen Yuanyuan thought to herself.

"Do you like cats?" Chen Cheng's question interrupted Wen Yuanyuan's train of thought, but this time Wen Yuanyuan reacted and quickly replied, "Yes!"

Nodding, Shen Cheng pushed open the door of the kitchen on the first floor.

After a quick glance, Shen Cheng and Wen Yuanyuan both froze in their places.

Lin Yuhui, Cheese and Sugar were sitting on three small stools in the kitchen, their faces covered in dust. Each of them was covered in puddles of cream, as if they had just fought a battle with cream cakes.

"Welcome back, Senior!"

"Master, welcome back, meow!"

"Master, welcome back."

Looking at the two cats pretending to be stupid, Chen Cheng's mouth twitched: "What... is going on?"

"It's all Cheese's fault for being so stupid!" Lin Yuhui pointed at Cheese the first time.

Cheese pouted and argued, "It's obviously the sugar that didn't squeeze the cream properly, meow!"

Satang responded calmly, "Blame it on Huihui-san for being too demanding."

Shen Cheng: “…”

Wen Yuanyuan: “…”

Lin Yuhui only then noticed Wen Yuanyuan standing uneasily behind Shen Cheng, and her eyes sharpened: "Who is she?"

"I'm here to apply for a job." The veins on Shen Cheng's head bulged slightly, and he said, "Never mind all that for now. Now, let's all go upstairs and take a shower!"

"Yes!" The man and two cats responded loudly, then ran upstairs playfully.

After watching them disappear, Shen Cheng turned his head and saw Wen Yuanyuan trembling.

Those two cat-eared ladies just now called the boss here "Master"... That's so scary, but it's better not to ask questions that you shouldn't ask...

Suddenly, Wen Yuanyuan felt her shoulders sink and a warmth flow through her body.

It turned out that Shen Cheng thought she was cold and put his coat on her.

At this time, Shen Cheng was still muttering with a puzzled look on his face: "Strange, the room is quite warm, why do I still feel cold?"

It smells very nice...

Wrapped in Chen Cheng's coat, Wen Yuanyuan couldn't help but smell it, then her movements froze and her face suddenly turned red.

Ahhhhhhhhh!!! What am I doing?! I feel like a pervert!
