Chapter 123 The Movie Emperor's Little Cat Master 7
Gu Huaiye's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
"No need, she doesn't lack playmates."
After saying that, he nodded and quickly walked forward, putting distance between them.
Qin Shu still wore a perfectly appropriate smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes.
She lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions within.
[Haha, did you see Huai Shen's face? His expression changed when he heard about the puppet.]
[If I were in their shoes, I'd change my mind too. Such a beautiful cat, how could I let her play with other cats?]
[That's not the point. The point is, Ragdolls are the chubby, bland cats of the feline world, while calicos are the beauties of the feline world. They're completely mismatched, okay?]
However, what they didn't know was that Gu Huaiye's expression changed not because of the other party's species, but because of the other party's species.
These days, he and Xiaoyun got along very naturally and harmoniously. As long as she wagged her tail, he knew what she wanted to do. He even forgot that she was a cat until Qin Shu suddenly brought it up, and he only then realized it in a daze.
It turned out that he was holding a cat, a cat of a different species than himself.
In particular, she also has many companions of the same species.
The thought of Xiaoyun playing and frolicking with other cats in the future, and then being seduced by a smelly cat...
Gu Huaiye was absolutely furious.
No, no, I can't think about it anymore.
Gu Huaiye tightened his grip, deciding to keep an even closer eye on Xiaoyun and not give any other scheming cats the slightest chance.
The room assigned to Gu Huaiye in the country cottage was on the second floor. Gu Huaiye entered the room and carefully checked it. Seeing that the doors and windows were intact, he then put Yunzhen on the bed.
"Xiaoyun, can you wait here for me for a moment? I'll go pack my luggage."
Yunzhen meowed in agreement.
Relieved, Gu Huaiye quickly unpacked his luggage, placed the litter box, poured in the litter, and took out and put away all the toys.
Although Yunzhen had never played with these toys before, Gu Huaiye still brought them, just in case she wanted to play with them but didn't have any.
He also put all kinds of refrigerated and frozen foods into the refrigerator. For this purpose, he even had a brand new refrigerator delivered to him specifically to store the food that Yunzhen ate.
He wasn't afraid of being treated like a diva by crickets; he was only worried that food stored in the communal refrigerator would get moldy and upset Xiaoyun's stomach.
However, to his surprise, not many people criticized him; instead, they talked about how happy it was to be his cat.
There's no other reason than that he seemed too virtuous and hardworking, which didn't match his appearance at all.
Gu Huaiye categorized and neatly arranged everything. After packing the contents of the four large suitcases, the cottage did not appear to have been expanded.
After tidying up, he took the ingredients and went into the kitchen.
In the morning, fearing that Xiaoyun might not be used to the car ride and might feel uncomfortable, Gu Huaiye didn't dare to feed her too much. Now that he saw that Xiaoyun wasn't uncomfortable and was in good spirits, Gu Huaiye felt relieved and prepared to give her an extra meal.
[What is Gu Huaiye doing? Wasn't it said that we could only use the ingredients provided by the cottage to cook?]
[This is outrageous! Breaking the rules in front of everyone! This is your Huai Shen!]
[What are you haters barking about? Are you blind? Huai Shen was serving tuna and shrimp, clearly food for cats, not humans. He didn't break any rules.]
Upon seeing this, Su Yao thought for a moment, then turned and followed them into the kitchen.
"Teacher Gu, are you preparing a meal? Let me help you."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and picked up a vegetable to wash.
Gu Huaiye frowned, unable to suppress his irritation.
"No need, I'm not cooking, I'm just making something for Xiaoyun. You can go out now."
Unaware of Gu Huaiye's impatience, Su Yao said softly, "Is your cat named Xiaoyun? It's a very cute name. I'd like to have a cat too, but unfortunately, my family members are allergic to cat fur, so I can only try to pet other cats when I have the chance. I wonder if you could let me touch your cat, Mr. Gu? Please."
"If you let me touch you, I'll tell you a secret about cats, a conclusion I've drawn from years of petting them."
As I said this, I urged him on in my mind.
[System, system, please tell me some little-known facts about cats.]
Gu Huaiye clearly took a liking to the cat, so using the cat to get closer to him should be a viable option.
To everyone's surprise, the system's announcement came as soon as he finished speaking.
[Target's favorability -30]
Current favorability rating: -40
[Attention, host. The target's favorability towards you is steadily declining. Please adjust your strategy as soon as possible to increase the target's favorability.]
Su Yao momentarily lost control of herself, a ferocious expression flashing across her face.
Why has it dropped again?!
She hasn't done anything yet, how come it's dropped again!
The price has dropped so much!
"No, Xiaoyun doesn't like being touched by strangers."
Gu Huaiye grew increasingly disgusted with this woman named Su Yao.
It's one thing that he inexplicably attracted Xiaoyun's attention, but now he's even taking the initiative to make advances towards her.
What exactly is she trying to do? Does she want to steal Xiaoyun away?
A serious sense of crisis arose in Gu Huaiye's heart, and he decided to guard Xiaoyun even more closely, keeping a close watch on her and not giving anyone a chance!
[Target's favorability -15]
Current favorability rating: -55
[Attention, host! The target's favorability towards you is steadily declining. Please adjust your strategy as soon as possible to increase the target's favorability.]
Su Yao: !!!
She dared not stay any longer and quickly said, "Since that's the case, then forget it. Teacher Gu, you can continue with your work. I'll go out first."
If she stayed any longer, Su Yao was afraid that her favorability rating would drop even further.
Perhaps seeing Su Yao's defeat, the others didn't go to the kitchen anymore, and Gu Huaiye was finally able to quietly finish cooking a cat meal.
When Gu Huaiye brought the carefully prepared cat food to the room, Yun Zhen was lying lazily on the bed, her tail swaying gently.
"Xiaoyun, dinner's ready."
Gu Huaiye placed the cat food on the small table beside the bed, his tone gentle, his expression softening, and even his aura instantly relaxed, making the air in the room feel lighter. He was completely different from his cold and aloof demeanor just now.
This change instantly captivated the fans who flocked to the scene.
[Mom, I'm in love.]
Humans are inferior to cats, humans are inferior to cats!
[I hereby declare that from today onwards, I am a cat, a little kitten belonging exclusively to my idol, meow~]
Unlike the fans' excitement, Yunzhen was already used to it, jumped to the plate, and slowly began to enjoy the food.
Gu Huaiye sat to the side, watching her quietly, his eyes full of doting affection.
After Yunzhen finished eating, Gu Huaiye picked her up again and carried her out of the room.
As soon as they sat down, Wang Hong walked over with the task card and said with a smile, "Everyone, the production team just released today's tasks, so we need to get started right away!"
Zhou Mubai is actually a fairly cheerful person. He didn't dare to speak just now because he was sensitive to the awkward atmosphere. Similarly, Song Wanqing was the same.
Now that the atmosphere was less tense and more relaxed, he regained his liveliness.
So as soon as Wang Hong finished speaking, he leaned over and asked, "What kind of task? It's not farming, is it?"
Wang Hong smiled and shook his head: "This task is relatively easy. We need to split into pairs and go to the nearby orchards to pick watermelons. Then, we will compete based on the quantity and quality of the watermelons picked. The winning pair can choose their ingredients in advance. Note that whether you have a big meal or just steamed buns for dinner depends on your hard work."
Zhou Muyan exclaimed, "Huh? The loser can only eat steamed buns?"
Wang Hong smiled without saying a word.
Lin Yue added, "The winning team will not only get a big meal, but also a special reward from the production team, so you all have to work hard!"
Qin Shu raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "A special reward? What is it?"
Wang Hong smiled mysteriously: "Well, that's a secret for now, but I can reveal one thing: it's definitely worth everyone's efforts to achieve!"
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of anticipation.
Gu Huaiye glanced at the kitten in his arms and hesitated before asking, "How should we divide them into groups?"
Wang Hong smiled and waved the task card in his hand: "This time we'll decide by drawing lots, it's fair and just!"
Gu Huaiye nodded without saying anything more.
He felt that participating in this program might have been a mistake.
"Alright, who wants to draw first?"
The group looked at each other, and Qin Shu stood up first, saying gracefully, "I'll go first."
She reached out and took a group card from Wang Hong's hand.
The others turned to look at Gu Huaiye.
"You guys go first."
After exchanging a few polite words, the group members got up and drew their group cards. The last remaining card was assumed to belong to Gu Huaiye.
"Alright, everyone has drawn their own cards. Now, please turn your cards over. Cards of the same color will be grouped together."
Gu Huaiye flipped the card over; it was purple.
The other purple card was in Qin Yao's hand.
Zhou Mubai and Su Yao were paired together, while Jiang Yubai and Song Wanqing were paired together.
Qin Shu shook the card in her hand and said with a smile, "Teacher Gu, it seems we are destined to work together again."
Gu Huaiye glanced at her indifferently, his tone detached: "Yes, it's just a mission. It's a pleasure working together."
Upon hearing the group assignments, Su Yao's face flashed with disappointment, but she quickly recovered and smiled as she said to Zhou Mubai, "We have to do our best later, we absolutely cannot lose to the other two groups."
As she spoke, she even waved her little fist, prompting the comments section to exclaim how cute she was.
Zhou Mubai nodded with a grin: "Don't worry, with me here, we'll definitely win!"
Song Wanqing wanted to say something, but when she saw Jiang Yubai's sour face, she swallowed her words.
The group picked up baskets and headed towards the watermelon patch.
Before leaving, Gu Huaiye hesitated for a moment, looking at Yun Zhen, caught in a dilemma.
It's hot and sunny outside. Will Xiaoyun get heatstroke if I take her out?
But what if Xiaoyun gets stolen if we stay here?
Yunzhen patted his arm, indicating that she wanted to follow him out.
She doesn't want to be locked in a room.
After becoming a cat, every opportunity to go out is precious, and she must cherish it.
Gu Huaiye was already worried about leaving Xiaoyun alone in the room, and now that Xiaoyun had asked to go, the balance in Gu Huaiye's heart immediately shifted.
The group arrived at the watermelon field, where lush green watermelon vines covered the ground, and round watermelons were hidden among the leaves, looking especially tempting in the hot summer.
Yunzhen couldn't wait to jump out of Gu Huaiye's arms and wander around the watermelon patch, looking left and right like a curious child.
The perspectives of humans and cats are vastly different. From a cat's point of view, this watermelon patch is bustling with activity and presents a unique world.
"Xiaoyun..."
Gu Huaiye subconsciously chased after her, but seeing that Yun Zhen hadn't run far and was still looking very interested, he paused for a moment, then didn't forcibly pick her up. He simply stood beside her and let her play.
Wang Hong glanced at Gu Huaiye, and seeing that he seemed fine, he announced loudly, "Alright everyone, the mission officially begins! Remember, it's not just about picking a lot, but also picking well; quality is a key factor in the evaluation!"
Zhou Mubai said excitedly, "Don't worry, our team will definitely win!"
Then he turned to Su Yao and said, "How about we divide the work? You'll be in charge of picking them, and I'll be in charge of carrying them and putting them in the basket."
Su Yao naturally nodded in agreement: "Okay."
On the other side, Jiang Yubai, hands in his pockets, glanced coldly at the watermelon patch and said indifferently, "This kind of mission is really boring."
Upon hearing his words, Song Wanqing looked around awkwardly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she quickly whispered, "Teacher Jiang, let's start quickly, or we won't have enough time."
Jiang Yubai glanced at her, said nothing, and reluctantly squatted down to pick them.
Gu Huaiye, carrying a basket, came to Yun Zhen's side without hesitation, his attention entirely on her, only glancing at the watermelon out of the corner of his eye before picking it.
Qin Shu frowned almost imperceptibly, and then came to Gu Huaiye's side.
"Teacher Gu, why don't we cooperate too?" she joked. "I don't want to be eating steamed buns tonight."
Gu Huaiye refused without hesitation: "No need, just pick them yourselves, they're all the same."
[Gu Huaiye is so shameless and pretentious. The goddess took the initiative to approach him, yet he still acts all high and mighty. As a man, he doesn't even know how to take care of our goddess.]
[You're the one who's been so obstinate. Huai Shen has already rejected you so obviously, but Qin Shu just kept pestering him. Huai Shen is too nice. If it were me, I would have slapped him across the face.]
[Jiang Yubai still has that awful temper. Who sent him here? I don't want to know what kind of person he is in real life! He's ruined my idol! Go back to singing! Releasing a couple more songs is better than anything else.]
[Zhou Muyan is so sweet, a sunny and cheerful puppy, so much better than the other two.]
[Pah, two scoundrels!]
[The one below is your goddess; if you force your way in, of course no one will pay attention to you.]
[The little girl from the late Qing Dynasty is so earnest, so cute, I want to pet her.]
[Qin Shu, you old woman, stay away from our brother!]
[Stop arguing, look at Xiaoyun, she's so cute!]
[I hereby declare that I am now a fan of Xiaoyun. Does anyone know where the production crew is? I want to steal their photos.]
[Yes, Xiaoyun is so cute and beautiful, she melts my heart.]
The comments section was filled with noise and arguments among the fans. However, a significant number of people turned into fans of Yunzhen and stopped participating in the arguments, instead silently watching the calico kitten on the screen.
Watching her walk leisurely, each step felt like it was treading on my heart.
