Chapter 4

The staff continued introducing the guests: “The fourth male guest is a Maine Coon with white tiger blood. He’s a long-haired cat, with thick fur and a strong physique, capable of living in cold climates. He has a strong sense of possessiveness and prefers to be alone. We’re curious to see which type of cat will catch his eye.”

Because of the Maine Coon’s special status, the production team didn’t dare to negotiate conditions with him during the contract signing, nor did they dare to subtly suggest which cat he should choose. With his identity, just agreeing to participate in this dating show was already a favor to Director Zhang Song.

It’s no exaggeration to say that once the Maine Coon’s identity is revealed during the later human confession segment, it will almost certainly become trending.

So now, as soon as the Maine Coon appeared, the audience in the live stream, as well as the production team, were all curious, wondering which cat would catch his eye.

Bai Chengcheng was sitting next to the forest cat, when he turned his head and saw the cold, handsome Maine Coon walking toward them, his expression serious.

The Maine Coon was already a large cat, and with his white tiger genes, he was even bigger. His height was about one meter, making him just as tall and muscular as the lion cat and forest cat.

Unlike the sharpness of the lion cat or the clumsiness of the forest cat, the Maine Coon had a serious and cold expression. Since stepping into the cat paradise, it seemed as if he couldn’t see anything around him. Even though he knew there were already three cats in the room, he still didn’t look at them and didn’t even spare a glance.

He slowly walked in, casually wandered around the photo wall, and then went to the corner to lie down on the cat scratching post.

Bai Chengcheng, who was squatting next to the forest cat, stared at the Maine Coon’s every move with his large, round blue eyes.

His pink mouth slightly opened as he kept his gaze fixed on the Maine Coon, almost drooling.

This Maine Coon was just too handsome!

Really, it seemed like the Maine Coon had an innate “CEO” aura, and this particular Maine Coon’s cold demeanor made it even more obvious.

Bai Chengcheng thought, as expected, the outside cats are more appealing. Although he was surrounded by the forest cat and the lion cat, right now, all he wanted to do was go lick the Maine Coon.

At the same time, the live stream’s comments quickly flooded in:

【Ahhh! The Maine Coon! He’s so handsome, oh my God!】

【Look at Cotton’s expression! He’s totally stunned, hahaha, truly a heartthrob.】

【Damn, this Maine Coon is so cold and proud. I really want to see him turned into a wet dog! Cotton, hurry up and approach him, seduce him, then reject him! Make him fall in love and cry!】

【This Maine Coon is seriously super handsome, I hope he’s not one of those controversial guests.】

【What? This show even has controversial guests? Scary jpg.】

【The production team hasn’t mentioned it, but there’s gossip that they invited a controversial guest to spice things up for the final human confession segment, to increase the show’s popularity. Fans who ship couples should be careful!】

—

If there really is a controversial guest among the eight, the production team is really stirring things up!

This made the audience even more excited and involved!

Just like the guests, they didn’t know the true identities of the other guests, nor did they know who the controversial guest was. They were shipping couples and supporting cats, just like the guests were choosing their confession partners—what if the person they liked turned out to be the controversial guest? Wouldn’t that be disastrous?

【Help, production team, don’t go too far!】

【Forget it, it’s not a big deal. As long as the cat I like is popular, I won’t be afraid of getting hurt!】

【Based on my years of fangirling experience, the more reserved a guest is, the more likely they are to be the controversial one. So, I choose to support the heartthrob (obvious sarcasm jpg).】

—

The rumors about the controversial guest were only circulating among the audience at this point, and the other guests were unaware of them. Of course, the guests who had already appeared probably didn’t care much about it.

Bai Chengcheng didn’t know that the cats were beastmen. He thought of the male guests as real cats, and he didn’t care at all about the dating show or the live stream.

The other three guests felt the same way. Except for the lion cat, the other two hadn’t even considered looking for a partner in the show.

The lion cat was watching Bai Chengcheng, while Bai Chengcheng, on the other hand, was staring intently at the Maine Coon in the corner.

The Maine Coon had emerald-green eyes, and noticing the gaze, he finally lifted his noble head and glanced at Bai Chengcheng.

Bai Chengcheng immediately straightened his back, his sharp ears twitching shyly. He looked at the Maine Coon and tried to use a cute tactic: “Meow~”

Bai Chengcheng let out a soft meow, blinking his eyes and tilting his head, then opened his mouth again: “Mew~~~”

This time, it was even cuter.

Maine Coon: “…”

The other cats: “…”

Before the forest cat could react, the lion cat suddenly stood up and strode over, positioning himself between the Maine Coon and Bai Chengcheng, blocking Bai Chengcheng from looking at the Maine Coon.

Bai Chengcheng had been sitting next to the forest cat, but once the lion cat came over, he forcefully wedged himself between the two. Due to Bai Chengcheng’s small size, he was immediately shifted aside as the lion cat moved him.

Bai Chengcheng: “…”

Forest Cat: “Aww?”

The forest cat was very displeased and howled twice at the lion cat.

Why are you pushing my buddy?

The forest cat stared at the lion cat, and his gaze clearly said, “If you dare bully my buddy, I’ll destroy you.”

Lion Cat: “…”

Although no one said anything, the lion cat understood the forest cat’s meaning.

After two seconds of silence, the lion cat walked over, pawed Bai Chengcheng to the ground, then lay down next to him. He wrapped his hind legs and tail around Bai Chengcheng, clearly claiming him as his own.

Bai Chengcheng was very satisfied with the current situation. The big cats were all competing to be close to him—how wonderful was that?

He happily nestled into the lion cat’s arms, obediently burying his face into the lion cat’s belly, and took a deep breath!

Lion Cat: “!!!”

Forest Cat: “???”

Live Stream Audience:

【Ahhhhhh, so exciting! Can we really watch this without paying?】

【Ahhhhhh, the wife is sucking on the lion cat’s belly! Is she really being this obvious? You can’t be this forward, little one!】

【Cotton, Cotton, this is where you went wrong. You can be a heartthrob, but how can you be a pervert!】

【The lion cat’s pupils are shaking, hahahaha. Clearly, when he was competing for the wife earlier, he didn’t expect her to be this bold—she went straight for the belly.】

【Help, the lion cat changed from lying down to sprawled out! Is he trying to hide something, hahahahaha? I’ve recorded this and uploaded it, I’m sending the heartthrob to trending!】

—

The lion cat was indeed startled by Bai Chengcheng’s sudden behavior. Although he had worked his way up from the bottom and encountered all sorts of people, and had even been tempted more directly than this before, at this moment, in front of millions of live-stream viewers, with a boy he liked behaving like this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit shy.

The lion cat lay down, turned his head, and glanced at the innocent-looking White Cotton, who was tilting his head. The desire in his heart flared up, almost impossible to control.

Perhaps due to his upbringing or perhaps because of his profession, he had a slight S (sadistic) tendency. Looking at White Cotton, he couldn’t help but want to tie him up with a belt.

Wasn’t he into scents? He would make sure White Cotton got a good dose of it.

The lion cat’s face remained serious and stern as he lay still.

Bai Chengcheng, unaware of the lion cat’s sudden mood change, instinctively raised his paw, licked it a couple of times, then suddenly opened his mouth and began to spit out saliva wildly, his paw also scraping the ground repeatedly.

Ahhhhhhh! So dirty, so dirty! The paw is so dirty!

He had just licked his paw! Ahhhh, help!

The other cats: “…”

If the lion cat didn’t have fur, everyone would see that his face was turning a deep shade of blue with anger.

The forest cat couldn’t stop laughing. He rolled on the ground, slapping it with his paws while excitedly howling, “Aww! Aww!”

Live Stream:

【What the heck is Cotton Ball doing? Is he rejecting the lion cat’s belly because it’s dirty?】

After all, no one thought Bai Chengcheng was rejecting his paw for being dirty—poor lion cat was caught in the crossfire.

【Not rejecting for being dirty, right? He’s not rejecting the lion cat’s smell, is he? Hahahaha, sorry, I had to laugh first.】

【Sorry, my wife is a bit naïve and doesn’t know how to hide his feelings. Hope you all won’t blame him.】

【The lion cat is so handsome, but does he have body odor? (bushi) (shuts up tightly) (runs away hiding under the pot lid)】

Even the Maine Coon, who was tucked away in the corner, lifted his head and glanced at White Cotton.

The atmosphere at the scene became a bit tense.

The staff, seeing the lion cat’s dark expression, were almost scared to death.

Quickly trying to regain control of the situation, the staff member announced, “Alright, all our male guests have now entered. Some of them have chosen their crushes, and some haven’t. Will the ones who didn’t choose a crush change their minds when they meet the real female guests?”

“Next, let’s welcome the female guests. The first to enter is a white Ragdoll cat with brown tail and limbs. She has a calm, gentle personality and is very cute.”

The Ragdoll cat was a bit larger than Bai Chengcheng, though not excessively so. She wasn’t over a meter tall, in fact, she was about twice the size of the Ragdolls Bai Chengcheng had seen on Earth.

But she was still very cute. This Ragdoll was quite introverted, and following the show’s request, she chose the Maine Coon as her crush, then found a corner and quietly sat down.

Since she was a female cat and so reserved, Bai Chengcheng finally calmed down a bit and didn’t try to flirt with her.

The second female guest to appear was a soft and adorable British Shorthair Golden Shaded cat. Her size was similar to the Ragdoll, and she strutted in with her little legs, glancing at the other cats before walking around the photo wall and choosing a female Siamese cat as her crush.

Bai Chengcheng: “…”

In his mind, he was cursing, I knew it! Cats are way harder to train than dogs!

Looking at the cats that have appeared so far, some don’t even know how to properly press a photo, while others just press randomly. Some males choose males, and some females choose females. This is supposed to be a dating show? It might as well be called a friendship variety show.

What’s even more surprising is the third female guest, the Siamese cat. She walked out slowly with a cold and aloof expression. Her face, ears, four legs, and tail were all black, while the rest of her body was brown. She walked out with an icy demeanor, scanning the room, then lingered on the little golden shaded British Shorthair.

As expected, her crush was also the British Shorthair.

So far, they were the only pair who successfully selected each other. The lion cat and Bai Chengcheng don’t count.

The last to appear was the always soft and cute Chinchilla, whose voice was also quite sweet. Her tail was very fluffy, resembling a squirrel’s bushy tail. Her fur was dense, yellow-white in color, and she had blue eyes. Her appearance was quite similar to Bai Chengcheng’s.

She also liked to make cute “meow” sounds.

The difference was that the Chinchilla was yellow-white, had no ear tufts, and her head was rounder, making her appear even more plump than Bai Chengcheng.

Bai Chengcheng immediately ran over and meowed at the Chinchilla, who was about the same size as him.

The Chinchilla tilted her head and meowed back.

The two similar cats faced each other, meowing while unconsciously spinning around.

As they kept meowing and spinning in circles for more than ten rounds, the staff couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Ahem, alright, our little cutie Chinchilla still hasn’t chosen her crush.”

The Chinchilla stopped spinning and walked over to the photo wall. She found Bai Chengcheng’s photo and then glanced back at him with a sly look in her blue eyes: “Meow.”

Bai Chengcheng instinctively responded: “Meow?”

The other cats: “…”

Although the show didn’t allow speaking, these two kept making cute meowing sounds and acting all adorable. Were they not embarrassed?

Of course not! The Chinchilla was very happy, looking as if she had found a kindred spirit. In the end, she chose Bai Chengcheng as her crush.

Even though she had agreed with the show to follow the male-female couple route, she actually preferred soft, cuddly boys.

Author’s Note:

The guest appearances have finally finished! The female guests aren’t described in detail because this is a pure love channel, so the focus is on the male guests. There’s no male-female romance storyline in the show! No male-female romance! No male-female romance!

Warning:

There is a yuri subplot (Siamese Cat X British Shorthair Golden Shaded, briefly mentioned with just a few lines).

The Chinchilla is GB (for “four loves,” liking submissive types. She knows that the submissive ones are gay, and she likes soft boys like that. There was no confession or development, just a bit of a crush in the variety show. If you mind, please be cautious before reading!)
