Chapter 26: Cohabitation Confirmed
Jiang Muzhou sank into the automatic sofa.
Yuanbao, who had just finished a hearty meal, looked down at him with a satisfied squinting gaze.
Su Cheng left in a hurry after applying the medicine to him, without even staying to have a meal with him.
He stroked the ribbon tied with gauze on his wrist, his brow furrowing.
Will we be exposed?
Actually, he didn't mention the injury on his back to the doctor at all yesterday.
But when he heard her say she would help apply the medicine, he was captivated by those beautiful eyes and, as if possessed, pulled out the first-aid ointment he used for outdoor filming.
Could it be that our cleverness backfired?
Doubts turned into silent sighs.
With a gentle swipe of my finger, I opened the video again.
The little red heart on the right has risen from "1" to three digits, and in the blink of an eye, it has soared to four digits.
There were already quite a few comments at the beginning of the video.
Once you see me, you're no longer number one.
[Advanced Cuteness Warning]
[Checking in from the front row!!]
Ahhhh, I want to watch this a million more times!
The gashapon machine's knob made a "click-clack" sound, accompanied by the classic background music from Pokémon, and the transparent capsule began to spin wildly.
A sweet, clear female voice rang out: "Who am I?"
[Great! It's SuSu! We're saved!]
[awsl's wife is so sweet!]
[I've liked, commented, and shared this post three times. Where can I get a free cat-themed gashapon machine?]
[The concentration of cute elements detected has exceeded the standard]
A square, silver-gray head is stuck at the shipping outlet, with the tuft of hair on its forehead trembling with the background drumbeats.
[Repairing the cat! It means repairing its lushness!]
Is this the one that got hit by the Decepticon punch?
[The one in front is the one that got kicked.]
Let's explore the leisurely afternoons of the British together.
The upbeat background music bursts forth, like bubbly lime soda in the middle of summer, injecting vibrant life into the simple scene.
Square-headed cat woke up in its luxurious 600-square-centimeter cardboard cat bed, its light green eyes slowly opening like a clear, jelly-like sea.
Its pink little nose twitched twice, then its ears perked up.
The perspective shifts, focusing on the cat bowl 20 centimeters away from the square head. Boneless chicken cat food forms the base, while shredded freeze-dried chicken breast serves as the topping, covering the surface and exuding an enticing aroma.
Oh no, it's the feeling of falling in love!
Square-headed cat strode confidently toward its food bowl, its short legs carrying it with great pride.
One step, two steps.
When it reached the third step, it suddenly stopped in place, raised its furry left front paw, squinted its eyes, and yawned widely.
How can this tiny little thing be so cute?
[Help, this is so cute it's making me want to breastfeed!]
[Little Fang, tell ee what color burlap sack you like?]
Square-headed cat seemed a little unfamiliar with its limbs. As it was about to take a step with its right front paw, it tripped over its left front paw, which had just been lowered, and with a "thud," it took a standard cat-style flat fall.
Sleep where you fall.
The square-headed creature placed its two front paws under its chin as a pillow, then kicked its short legs back gracefully, instantly transforming into a sleepyhead, its eyelids slowly drooping down.
"Everyone, please take a look. This is a new type of energy-saving cat. It charges for five minutes and rests for two hours."
But there seemed to be a mysterious voice calling to it from inside its small, square head.
It forced its eyelids open, its blue eyes wide like copper bells, staring intently at the cat food bowl.
In the end, cravings defeated sleepiness.
The square head suddenly perked up, and it stretched out its short little hands to try to reach for something, its dark flesh pads flailing wildly in the air.
Unfortunately, you only realize how short your time is when you need it most.
"The greatest distance in the world is not between life and death, but between a cat lying right in front of its food, yet unable to reach it."
Fang Naoke didn't give up. His eyes darted around, and suddenly he rolled over, landing on his back with his four legs in the air, revealing his soft little belly.
It strained forward with all its might, even using its armpits.
This time it was perfect, a direct hit to the target!
The little paws happily rummaged in the bowl, and cat food mixed with minced chicken breast rained down from above, landing squarely into the hungry little mouth.
The little tongue with barbs curled and retracted, the square head devoured the food in a whirlwind, and emitted a satisfied snoring sound.
[Square-headed: Elegance Never Goes Out of Style]
[Is it possible?]
[Hello, is this MeowMeowZero? A marshmallow has come to life!]
[Claws: I've endured too much]
Then, another familiar Pokémon BGM plays, and a meticulously edited ID photo of a square-headed creature pops up in the upper left corner of the screen. Its chubby cheeks and innocent starry eyes instantly make you willingly hand over your dried fish.
[Give ee a bite of her chubby cheek!!!]
Is there freeze-dried food hidden in her cheeks?
[Mickey: Give it to me.gif Human: Here you go! I'd give you my life!]
The female voice gently read out its cat information: "Name: Fang Naoke, Gender: Male, Age: 4 months."
A hexagonal radar image suddenly unfolds in the lower right corner.
"Foodie Index: 5 stars, Social Companion Index: 2 stars, Clinginess: 5 stars, Attack Power: 1 star, Defense Power: 3 stars, Vitality: 1 star."
[Socially anxious but has a big appetite, so relatable]
Decepticons: You don't need to feel inferior for losing to me.
[Was the defensive power of these three stars obtained through being beaten up by the Decepticons?]
[He's put all his skill points into eating!]
Fang Naoke leaped lightly and landed steadily on the display stand covered with dark red silk.
On the wall behind the booth, a banner stands out prominently.
Gift: Meet Stray Animal Rescue Station
"This is the 'Encounter' Stray Animal Rescue Station. We firmly believe that every stray animal will meet its own compassionate guardian. If you would like to become Fangnaoke's family and a warm ray of light in its life, please follow our official WeChat account and begin this heartwarming journey."
What?! This adorable cat is free?!
[For free doesn't mean free; it means priceless!]
[Protect our outstanding graduates from the Cat Virtue Academy]
[Streamers must carefully screen potential adopters to prevent cat abusers from infiltrating!]
Square-headed creature strode gracefully from one end of the booth to the other with a cat-like gait.
Behind it are layers of exquisite refrigerator magnets and badges displayed on acrylic stands.
The camera zooms in, following Fangnaoke's steps, showcasing the meticulously designed peripheral products on the booth one by one.
"To thank everyone for their attention and support of stray animal welfare, we are now having an interactive event. Leave a comment saying 'Adopt, don't shop' for a chance to be one of 10 lucky winners to receive a limited-edition gift pack. Each gift pack includes a hand-painted cat paw badge and a refrigerator magnet set."
The video ended with a screen full of "Adopt, don't shop" messages.
In Jiang Muzhou's opinion, Su Cheng has a great talent for making short videos.
It's not just because of her unique creativity, but more importantly because she poured her true feelings into her subjects.
The camera lens is like a two-way mirror, faithfully recording every detail of the photographer and reflecting the sentiments the photographer wants to convey.
She is a pure storyteller, relying solely on her sincerity, without using fancy techniques.
In this fast-paced era, this sincerity is the most precious and resonates most with the audience.
-
Su Cheng sat nervously at the dining table, stirring the congee with preserved egg and lean pork in front of her.
After posting the video, she immediately muted the app, opened a movie to watch while eating, and tried to distract herself.
The videos of her pets' emotions that she posted before were all impromptu, and they didn't really go viral.
But this time it's different.
She was advocating for attention for the homeless animals at the shelter.
Half an hour passed, and the porridge had gone cold before I had only drunk half a bowl.
My phone kept vibrating; a screenshot of a video popped up in the rescue station's group chat.
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand!
I almost choked on the mouthful of porridge I had just drunk.
She frantically opened the short video app, and sure enough, the screenshot wasn't photoshopped.
Even more surprisingly, the number of likes on the video is skyrocketing!
She scrolled through the endless stream of comments, and the one that was pushed to the top was from "Muzhou".
[Muzhou: Adopt, Don't Shop]
[Muzhou: Is it possible to cover up the incident in the surrounding area?]
Below was a sea of pink bubbles from the fans.
[Ahhh, Mu Yichengzhou is real!!]
I thought it would be Zhou Shen directing the camera.
[I can't believe it! The God of Boat actually browses other people's comment sections?!]
[A cover-up? This is clearly marital property (doge)]
I'm totally shipping them!
[Stop right there, God of the Boat! Don't lower the odds of winning!]
[Help! Did anyone notice that Zhou Shen was the first to comment?!]
[Oh my god, the microscope is here!]
[And they even share the same IP address! They're definitely living together (just kidding)]
Seeing the increasingly bizarre tone of the comments section, Su Cheng couldn't help but marvel at the netizens' detective talents; they were all channeling Sherlock Holmes.
She had never seen anything like this before and hesitated whether to ask Jiang Muzhou for advice on how to respond.
The image of the press conference flashed through my mind.
She sat gracefully under the spotlight, facing a dense array of microphones and blinding flashes. With a calm, gentle smile, she elegantly addressed the camera, saying, "I apologize for taking up public resources. I hope everyone will focus more on my work and support public welfare..."
Just as we were getting into the conversation, my phone vibrated.
A transfer notification popped up on the screen.
[ease:[transfer]]
Su Cheng blinked. Why did Jiang Muzhou always transfer money to her when she was daydreaming?
[Su Cheng: ?]
She sent a meme that said, "What did you say? I can't hear you because I'm not wearing my glasses."
[ease: I don't want to be a kept man anymore]
Su Cheng's temples throbbed.
He could have explained it clearly with just the words "meal expenses," but he insisted on using the suggestive phrase "living off a woman."
It's like she's keeping him as a mistress!
She couldn't tell if she was overthinking things or if Jiang Muzhou's words really had a deeper meaning. Lately, his words always made her think of other things involuntarily.
She rested her chin on her hand.
A cold, hard sensation touched my jaw.
It is a meticulously polished hexagonal white star cufflink.
Then he remembered that he had been wearing Jiang Muzhou's shirt the whole time.
I wore it all day!
Her cheek pressed against the smooth sleeve.
A faint, lingering scent of mint, a scent that belongs only to the depths of memory.
She is not as good at hiding her emotions and thoughts now as she was when she was sixteen or seventeen.
Compared to when she was sixteen or seventeen, she now has the courage to express her gratitude in person.
