Li Baiyu was immersed in memories with the cat.
The atmosphere was surprisingly warm.
Li Baiyu seemed like a different person, making people want to get closer.
"I'll take good care of the cat."
Shen Jingqi promised.
Li Baiyu took out her phone and pressed a few buttons.
"Uncle Li's phone number. I've sent it to you."
In the next moment, Li Baiyu frowned, sounding displeased: "Why doesn't your phone have notification sounds?"
"I usually don't like checking my phone frequently, so I set it to silent."
Shen Jingqi quickly explained.
"From now on, you must look at and reply to my messages promptly, especially regarding the cat."
Li Baiyu's attitude was unquestionable.
"Alright, I'll set it up."
Shen Jingqi set Li Baiyu as a special notification.
"Hurry back to my house, Tuantuan needs companionship and can't be left alone for too long. Don't delay on the way."
"Really a woman of mood swings."
Shen Jingqi sighed in relief in the hallway.
The recent performance was cautious enough not to cause any conflict.
He planned to maintain this approach, steady and smooth, and get through the week first.
This week, he was to stay at Li Baiyu's house, well, in the cat room.
Called Uncle Li.
Uncle Li arrived quickly.
The silver flashy sports car had a kind of solitary and mysterious aura in the night.
Still seated in the spot he'd sat in before, Shen Jingqi examined the car.
Then checked it out.
A custom Pagani, globally limited, with no feeling of resistance or heaviness when riding, as if flying on the ground.
After a long day of fatigue, sitting in such a car was simply enjoyable.
"Dr. Shen, have you met our young lady before?" Uncle Li spoke steadily.
"We weren't acquainted before. However, President Li is my senior, probably four years ahead."
Shen Jingqi had studied an eight-year course through bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D., just graduated.
Li Baiyu graduated with a bachelor's, went straight to Ph.D. at the same university, and graduated a year early. Now, three years graduated.
"Oh."
Uncle Li didn't say anything more.
Through the rearview mirror, Shen Jingqi saw a weathered and lean face, seeming chiseled like indomitable ravines on ancient rocks.
Uncle Li drove steadily.
Shen Jingqi observed knowingly or unknowingly, and there was never any sign of writing above Uncle Li's head.
The car, like an elf in the dark, quickly arrived at the villa.
Shen Jingqi got out of the car and used a finger password to open the door.
"Meow."
The silver-shaded cat came out, its eyes still in a sleepy haze, showing an effort to open them.
Shen Jingqi was originally worried about being alone with the cat, but seeing the cat's expression, couldn't help but laugh.
"You little cat, looks like you're still sleepy."
Ring—
A phone message.
[Li Baiyu]: Have you arrived home?
[Shen Jingqi]: Just got here. Tuantuan just woke up.
A photo was sent over simultaneously.
Beep beep—
A video call invitation.
After answering, Li Baiyu's beautiful face appeared.
"Tuantuan!"
"Meow!"
Shen Jingqi pointed the video at the silver-shaded cat, which turned and leaned against the phone, rubbing its body against it.
Soon, several strands of cat hair stuck to the phone's surface.
"Tuantuan can be fed cat food once more tonight, about half a cup each time."
"Clean the litter box morning and evening, and spray air freshener."
"Remember to change the water in the morning."
Li Baiyu advised.
"Alright, I'll go do it now."
Shen Jingqi dragged out the cat food, found a measuring cup, scooped about half a cup, and poured it into the cat bowl.
The silver-shaded cat ran over with its tail up, eating heartily.
Crunch crunch.
The kitten had quite an appetite.
Just about to clean the litter box, Shen Jingqi realized he should change clothes, but he didn't have any home clothes.
The white shirt on him needed to be worn tomorrow and wasn't suitable for dirt, so Shen Jingqi thought for a moment, took off his jacket and white shirt, leaving only a tank top.
But considering the litter box might also leave a smell, if the tank top got dirty, it couldn't be cleaned either, so he took off the tank top too.
Li Baiyu in the video saw Shen Jingqi taking off his clothes, and suddenly felt a bit flustered.
Muscles evenly proportioned and well-defined, walked to the litter box.
"Why are you taking off your clothes?!"
"I don't have other clothes. To avoid getting dirty while changing the cat litter, I took them off first. I'll take a shower later, and then they'll be clean."
Shen Jingqi flashed an innocent smile.
"I have some clothes in my closet, they're unisex and quite large. You can wear them later."
Shen Jingqi was a bit stunned.
Wearing Li Baiyu's clothes?!
No idea what that'll be like.
"You should go shower. Tuantuan and I usually sleep early; it's accustomed to this routine. Once you're done showering, come to my room to find clothes."
Li Baiyu's words snapped Shen Jingqi out of his bewildered state.
"There's a new towel in the washroom."
Shen Jingqi stepped into the bathroom.
So luxurious!
There's a super large bathtub and a delicate showerhead.
However, the bath products are limited to a few types, easy to identify at a glance.
When the warm water sprayed on his body, Shen Jingqi felt enveloped by a comforting warmth.
The light droplets covered him, washing away the day's fatigue.
Looking at the large bathroom, Shen Jingqi suddenly imagined Li Baiyu soaking inside.
Long beautiful legs, fair skin, soft hair...
Stop!
This image cannot be imagined!
Finding the packaged towel on the shelf, he wrapped it around himself and returned to the cat room.
Li Baiyu was gazing at the silver gradient cat.
"Out, turn right." Li Baiyu directed him.
Shen Jingqi opened the door.
The master bedroom was unexpectedly not very spacious.
Especially compared to the cat room, it wasn't as big as the cat room.
Yet, even so, it was much larger than the place Shen Jingqi rented.
Still, the room's layout was too simple.
Shen Jingqi walked to the wardrobe, opened the closet door, and looked to the right.
Inside were a few sets of pajamas and loungewear hanging.
"That pink one is new, the size seems to be XXXL, unisex. Give it a try."
Shen Jingqi took out the pink pajamas and held them against his body.
His height is 183CM, weight 66 kilograms.
The fit seemed suitable.
Yet this pink color hadn't been tried before.
Seeing Shen Jingqi hesitate, Li Baiyu's voice came through:
"Hurry up and change."
Shen Jingqi placed his phone on the bed and changed into the pajamas.
What's this?
Shen Jingqi felt something behind him, looked in the mirror, and realized it was a tail.
And on the neckline of the pajamas was a hood that, when worn, formed a cat shape.
Pink cat pajamas set!
Unbelievable!
Why does it seem a bit cute? What's going on?
Unable to look at himself in the mirror, Shen Jingqi grabbed his phone and returned to the cat room.
Ding———
The electronic doorbell rang at the entrance.
"It's the appointment delivery, bringing a bed."
Li Baiyu reminded.
Shen Jingqi opened the door, signed for it, and amidst the delivery person's surprised gaze, carried the box and ran back to the cat room.
Did that guy think I have some special kink?
Which guy usually dresses like this?!
Being Li Baiyu's cat servant really demands too much!
Opening the box, according to the instructions, Shen Jingqi quickly set up the bed.
There was a brand new bedding and pillow set.
In the large cat room, placing a bed made it seem inhabitable.
In the room, there was a small bed presumably for the cat.
Also various cat toys, and a cat tower several meters tall, the entire room was like a fairy tale.
Following Li Baiyu's instructions, Shen Jingqi performed different grooming tasks for the silver gradient cat.
Understanding the cat's mental state, Shen Jingqi maintained caution and care to avoid sudden changes in the cat's mood.
Considering the cat's response to music, Shen Jingqi played an audio recording from earlier, and it worked as expected.
The silver gradient cat immersed itself in the music, gradually hypnotized, cooperating well with Shen Jingqi's actions.
Shen Jingqi squatted on the ground, focused and busy.
All of this was seen by Li Baiyu on the other side of the video.
In moments unseen by Shen Jingqi, Li Baiyu unknowingly smiled.
Her eyes crinkled upwards, a genuine smile.
Shen Jingqi's rear raised high, the pink tail behind him occasionally wagging, truly fascinating.
