Chapter 179: The love between man and cat continues?
She had just calmed down and decided to put everything about that person behind her, but now that person's followers were here, wouldn't they remind her of that person's existence every day?
"Weren't you just worried about her safety?" Daju said, "I'll perform a magic trick and make it happen for you right away. Don't you think it's a pity?"
"What the hell is spoiling?" Xu Chuchu said.
Ah Fu could see Xu Chuchu's displeasure, not realizing she was targeting Xiao Yu and not him, so he apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Xu, I... I don't dare stay in the mansion any longer. I don't know where to go, and I'm afraid I'll be caught. This cat... cat brother said he could take me to a safe place, so I followed his instructions and followed him."
"I don't mean to blame you. I'm very touched that you're trying to help me escape. I just..." Xu Chuchu explained, then took the words back and smiled easily, "Forget it, let's not talk about the past. If you want to join us, that's fine."
"Okay." Ah Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "But Miss Xu, you don't have to thank me. I'm not just trying to help you... I'm also worried that you'll get deeper and deeper into trouble."
Yes, Xu Chuchu thought, if she didn't leave, that person would never change for the better, and would only become more and more addicted to the pleasure of possession and control.
Forget it, I have nothing to do with her anymore.
"Let's not talk about that anymore," she said. "Let's go."
"Dog, dog!" Daju shouted in a language that Ah Fu could not understand, and asked everyone to get on the carriage.
Then he told Ah Fu the route to take, which village to go straight to, which direction to go after reaching the foot of a certain mountain, etc.
Xu Chuchu was not familiar with the area and could not hear where they were going exactly. She just felt that it was quite far away. After asking for a long time, Daju refused to tell her.
"Just follow me." Finally getting into the carriage and being able to take off his hood, Big Orange proudly shook his brilliant orange hair.
The process of Daju's transformation into a human was very smooth. He succeeded after seclusion for one day and one night. He looked like an ordinary person in every way except that his hair retained the color of his fur. It was a bright orange and very eye-catching. He was the focus wherever he went.
Xu Chuchu once wanted to take him to dye his hair, but he loved his orange hair so much that he refused to do it. So Xu Chuchu gave up. After all, there are many people with colorful hair nowadays.
But in the ancient Xia Dynasty, orange hair was too conspicuous, so Daju had to wear a hooded cloak wherever he went, but he seemed to be quite used to it.
The carriage was shaking on the muddy road. Xu Chuchu was a little tired and soon fell asleep.
But it wasn't long before Daju woke her up and said excitedly, "Woman, it's time for dinner. Let's go and have some food!"
"Let's eat!" Xu Chuchu felt like she hadn't heard the word for a long time. She dazedly stuck her head out the window to check the sky. "Isn't it already noon?"
"Rounded up!" Daju dragged her out of the car and said coquettishly, "It's rare for us to pass by this restaurant. Their fish is especially delicious. Let's go eat!"
Xu Chuchu looked around and found that they were still in the suburbs. There was a small tavern on the side of the road, which seemed to be a place for passing tourists to stay overnight. There were several stalls outside for drinking tea and inside for eating.
"Is it okay?" Daju shook her again.
"Okay, okay." Xu Chuchu rubbed his head vigorously, "What do you want to eat that I haven't satisfied you yet?"
Daju chuckled and took her arm affectionately: "I knew that you are the best to me, Xu Chuchu!"
After Ah Fu parked the carriage, the group went into the tavern. As soon as they stepped in, they heard the waiter shouting while holding a tray of dishes.
"Let's get the grilled fish ready!"
Xu Chuchu shuddered suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Daju asked her.
"...It's okay, I heard it wrong." Xu Chuchu looked away.
She felt that Ah Fu was looking at her and didn't dare to look back.
Fortunately, Ah Fu didn't say anything.
Don’t think about it anymore, it doesn’t matter. He has nothing to do with you anymore from now on.
After the three of them sat down, a waiter came over and asked, "What would you like to order, gentlemen?"
Ah Fu felt that he was still living under someone else's roof and had no right to order food, so he said nothing. Da Ju also rubbed his hands and looked at Xu Chuchu expectantly.
Xu Chuchu said, "First, two servings of steamed fish, uh, no seasoning, no salt, and then one braised one..."
Halfway through the conversation, Daju suddenly pulled her nervously, leaned in close and whispered, "Chuchu, did you... bring any money? Their fish is so expensive. If not, we can just order one portion. It doesn't matter if we add seasonings. We can eat together."
"Don't worry, I brought it." Xu Chuchu also responded in a low voice.
She knew she would have to run away today, so she hid some silver in her clothes in advance. Although it was not much, it couldn't be that expensive in this small tavern. It was enough to have a few meals and live on for a while.
"That's good." Daju smiled again.
Xu Chuchu heard that the fish here was delicious, so she ordered a braised dish and two other side dishes for her and Afu. Finally, she added two desserts because Daju loves sweets.
After the waiter took note and left, Daju suddenly jumped onto the bench where Xu Chuchu was sitting and squeezed together with her.
"Ah, Chuchu, Chuchu!" He cried excitedly, "As expected, you love me the most. You even remember that I love steamed fish. I love you so much!"
"Alright, when have I ever stopped loving you?" Xu Chuchu pushed him away helplessly. "We're outside, keep a low profile."
Nowadays, if men and women hug each other in a restaurant, everyone is used to it, and at most they think it is a little indecent.
But in ancient times, it was somewhat shocking.
Like Ah Fu, who was sitting across the table, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
He knew Daju was a cat and Xu Chuchu was Daju's owner, so it was understandable that they were close. But... now that they had become humans again, they were a man and a woman, so was it really okay for them to be so close?
Judging from their familiarity, they might have been in this relationship for a long time. Could it be a love story between a human and a cat? Or was it before Miss Xu met his son?
So when Miss Xu was with the young master, did she still have this cat in her heart?
Facts have proved that you should not think too much about everything, because thinking too much will make you unhappy.
Ah Fu was a little unhappy. Seeing Daju acting like a spoiled child, he couldn't help but whisper, "You're such a man, yet you act like a sissy."
Daju's ears moved, obviously he heard it, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even twisted his body deliberately: "What's the big deal? I'm not a man anyway."
"If a male cat turns into a human, does that mean he is no longer a man? Can a male cat just live off women?" Ah Fu disagreed.
Xu Chuchu hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this..."
"But I'm not a tomcat." Daju raised his head proudly and pointed at Xu Chuchu, "If you don't believe me, ask her. She was the one who castrated me!"
It was quiet.
Even the guests at the next tables heard it and couldn't help but look over here.
"Castrated, castrated?" Ah Fu naturally thought of the eunuchs in the imperial palace. "Is this what I mean by 'castrated'?"
