This boy was the class representative and a huge cat lover. He always carried small fish snacks, cat food, and canned cat food in his bag to feed the stray cats around the school. Unable to resist Bastet’s allure, he came over holding a box of dried fish.

Once there was one person, others soon followed. Gu Yingying and Bastet were quickly surrounded with most of the students curious about Bastet and eager to pet the cat.

“Well… I don’t know if it eats this.” Gu Yingying said.

Bastet’s favorite food was the meat of spirit beasts, so she wasn’t sure if it would eat regular dried fish.

Fortunately, Bastet was gracious enough to nibble on a few pieces of the dried fish, causing the surrounding students to almost melt from the cuteness. This gave Gu Yingying the opportunity to get to know her classmates, and she realized that they were all quite friendly and easy to get along with.

Although the teacher saw Bastet, he didn’t say much. As long as the cat didn’t disrupt the class, teachers generally wouldn’t mind.

It wasn’t until the afternoon classes ended that Gu Yingying packed up her bag and decided to take Bastet somewhere quiet to ask about her senior. Since she had come to this world and Bastet had come with her, that meant—her senior was definitely here too!

The thought of her senior being in the same world as her made Gu Yingying feel giddy with happiness.

After bidding her classmates farewell, she slung her bag over her shoulder and left the classroom. Bastet, sitting steadily on her right shoulder, drew quite a bit of attention from students as they made their way toward the school gate. Some even took out their phones to sneak pictures, but Gu Yingying didn’t mind.

It wasn’t until she reached the school gate that she remembered: she used to be picked up by the Gu family chauffeur. As the daughter of the Gu family, she never had to worry about money.

Now, however, the school gate was crowded with people but the Gu family car was nowhere to be seen.

Recalling the storyline from the novel, she remembered that after Gu Xuezhen returned to the Gu family, she purposely ordered the chauffeur not to pick Gu Yingying up to make her realize her new identity. The Gu couple turned a blind eye to it.

The most crucial part was that since Gu Xuezhen had returned, Gu Yingying’s secondary card had been given to her, which meant… she didn’t have a single cent on her!

She was wearing a brand-new Chanel dress with a crystal hairpin from the latest trendy luxury brand and a bracelet worth nearly ten thousand. Who would know she had no money on her?

With this thought, Gu Yingying decided not to go home. She followed the route she remembered and headed toward the commercial street. What did it matter if she had no money? She could earn it herself!

Taking out her magic mirror, Gu Yingying looked into it while walking toward the commercial street. Bastet, perched on her shoulder, glanced at himself in the mirror and twitched his long whiskers.

It took them over twenty minutes to reach the commercial street, or more accurately while Gu Yingying carrying Bastet to the street. She found a bench, bent down, and Bastet jumped up onto it. Gu Yingying sat down next to him.

“Bastet, I think you need to lose some weight. Otherwise, I really won’t be able to carry you anymore~”

She complained while reaching out to give Bastet a firm pet. Bastet shook his head, swatting her hand away. His sapphire blue eyes turned into vertical slits, and he shot her a glare with the message clearly written in his gaze:

[You’re too weak!]

Sometimes, Gu Yingying really hated how smart she was. She could immediately understand what Bastet meant just from the look in his eyes. If she couldn’t understand it, that would be a different story! And why was it that her senior could understand Bastet’s “words” while all she could hear was just meowing?

With those thoughts, it was another day of missing her senior brother.

She took off her bag, pulled out her hardcover notebook, and then grabbed some colored pencils from her pencil case. She wrote four big characters: Fortune-telling.

That’s right! With her magic mirror, Gu Yingying figured the only way she could make money was through this—how much should she charge per person? Fifty or one hundred?

After making her sign, Gu Yingying sat down and held it up in the bustling commercial street. It really did look… utterly unreliable.

A couple walking by couldn’t help but glance over, especially since Gu Yingying was still quite attractive. How could such a beautiful, well-dressed girl like her choose to be a scammer?

In today’s world, fortune-telling had become associated with scammers.

Gu Yingying felt nervous too. She had never done anything like this before. Sitting there, she was as stiff as a board, her hand trembling as she held up the sign.

Bastet, glancing at the sign, widened his sapphire eyes, and the next second, he sat up straight just like Gu Yingying, waiting for customers to approach.

The two of them sitting there did have a certain charm, in a way.

Before long, a girl who had just left a boutique while holding her boyfriend’s arm spotted the Chanel dress Gu Yingying was wearing. Her interest was piqued, and she immediately pulled her boyfriend over.

“Little sister, do you only do fortune-telling here? Then, can you tell me and my boyfriend if we’ll be together forever?”
