Chapter 4

The golden-haired tiger glanced at her, then slowly turned his head and walked over to sit under a huge banyan tree in a shaded spot to rest.

As soon as the golden-haired tiger sat down, the fire fox carefully walked over toward him. It was clear that Miss Fire Fox had taken a liking to the golden-haired tiger, considering him her object of affection and planning to invite him to dinner.

Meanwhile, the brown bear saw the little white cat lying on the ground and was utterly charmed. He stepped forward, gently extended his claws, and picked her up. With a soft pat on her head, it seemed like he was comforting her.

Then, the brown bear placed the little white cat on top of his head, gently trying to cheer her up.

Qing Liu watched the panda and the brown bear, feeling reassured.

Although the golden-haired tiger didn’t like her, having these two bears made her cat’s life more than satisfying!

At this moment, all the fluffy creatures received a task notification on the smart wristbands they were wearing.

【Please choose a roommate and groom them by licking their fur. Failure to complete the task will result in a penalty.】

Licking fur was a relatively intimate act for couples. For these fluffies who had just met on the first day, choosing a roommate was easy, but when it came to licking each other’s fur, none of them were willing.

This task was clearly designed by the show’s producers to stir things up.

The task wasn’t mandatory, but the penalty for not completing it usually involved having the fluffies go into the mountains to hunt and prepare lunch for everyone.

The beastmen weren’t truly wild animals. Although they could transform into their beast forms, their survival skills in the mountains had long since diminished.

Sending them to hunt in the forest was no easy task, and it was one of the highlights the producers were hoping for in the show.

Watching the fluffies struggle helplessly in the forest, the audience found it adorable!

In past episodes, many fluffies were reluctant to groom their roommates by licking their fur, so most of the time, they all ended up heading into the forest arranged by the show’s production team to hunt.

This time, everyone assumed it would be the same.

【I’ll bet a pack of spicy snacks that everyone will be sent to the forest again!】

【But the golden-haired tiger’s front leg is injured. Can he still go hunting in the forest?】

【The little cat is even worse off. She’s so weak, I really want to go in her place!】

【If we don’t go to the forest, we have to choose a fluffy to lick another’s fur. I think that’s even less likely. Especially the golden-haired tiger, who won’t even let the little white cat get close! How can he not like such a cute cat?】

All the fluffies received the task, except for Qing Liu.

When they signed up for the show, the production team had provided everyone with a uniform smart wristband. The wristband was used for sending out tasks, and for communication between the participants.

Most of the guests wore their wristbands on their arms, making it easier to operate while in their beast forms.

Only the cat wore hers around her neck because her paws were too small. After considering the best option, it was decided that she would wear it as a collar. What Qing Liu didn’t realize was that what she wore around her neck wasn’t just a cute collar—it was actually a smart device used for online connectivity and communication.

At this moment, all the other fluffies lowered their heads, glanced at the task message on their smart devices, and then looked up to exchange glances.

They were all silently frustrated by the task.

Before they joined “Destined Match,” they had done their homework. Even the ones who were least interested in entertainment news and disliked watching variety shows had watched a few episodes of “Destined Match.”

So, they had already expected this task.

Licking fur was absolutely out of the question.

Fluffies only groom the ones closest to them, like their crush or family.

The production team deliberately wanted to see them struggle when hunting in the forest.

They wanted to see them embarrass themselves.

After all, when celebrities embarrass themselves, the audience loves it.

However, after reading the task, the fluffies remained indifferent.

But the fire fox was very enthusiastic. She liked the golden-haired tiger a lot.

Ever since humans awakened their psychic powers, the admiration for strong individuals had been growing stronger. The golden-haired tiger, not to mention his appearance, had an overwhelming aura that set him apart from ordinary people.

His psychic power must be very high. Of course, this wasn’t to say that the brown bear and the eagle weren’t impressive. Both of them were much stronger than typical beasts.

After all, many people had never seen such a large eagle or such a powerful brown bear.

But the fire fox… she just liked the golden-haired tiger. She held a white fruit in her paws and gently placed it in front of him.

The intention was clear—she had decided that the golden-haired tiger would be her first crush.

The fire fox was very confident in her appearance. She circled around the golden-haired tiger, her fiery red fur shining brightly in the sunlight. Her fluffy tail looked like satin—soft and smooth. Although she didn’t attract the golden-haired tiger, she successfully caught the attention of the little white cat.

Qing Liu crouched on top of the brown bear’s head, staring intently at the fire fox in the distance. Her gaze became fixed.

She kept watching, even extending her paw to wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth.

That fire fox was damn irresistible! She was just too beautiful!

The little white cat was itching to move. She had already snuggled with the panda, had rubbed against the brown bear, and now the adorable fire fox was a must—she had to hug her too!

The golden-haired tiger ignored the fire fox. He glanced at the fruit she had placed in front of him, but remained indifferent.

The fire fox understood what the golden-haired tiger meant, and she felt a bit dejected.

【Damn, this tiger is a bit ungrateful! He doesn’t like the cute little cat, doesn’t like the beautiful fire fox, he’s set for loneliness!】

【Poor little fox, it’s okay if the tiger doesn’t appreciate her, she can go for the eagle. As for the brown bear, forget it, he already gave candy to the little cat.】

【I wonder who will win the tiger’s favor, maybe the panda?】

Just as the fire fox was feeling down, a white figure suddenly dashed over. Out of the corner of his eye, the golden-haired tiger saw the little white cat running toward him with her short legs. His ears twitched, but he remained indifferent, sitting down and watching as the little white cat trotted closer.

The golden-haired tiger thought to himself, ‘This clingy little cat, how is she here again? She’s so annoying.’

The clingy little cat runned over toward him. As the golden-haired tiger looked at the little white cat, he couldn’t help but grow cautious. With the way she was approaching, he suspected she might try to start trouble—maybe even jumped onto his face.

However, just as he extended his paw to block her and prepared to defend himself, he saw the little white cat suddenly stop in her tracks and, with a sharp swerve, pounce onto the fruit that the fire fox had left in front of him.

Golden-haired tiger: “???”

Fire fox: “???”

Live Stream Chat: “???”

【What’s going on? Didn’t the little white cat already choose the panda and accept the brown bear’s candy? Why is she now going for the fire fox’s fruit?】

【Oh, is the little heartbreaker after Miss Fire Fox now?】

【I mean, who doesn’t like a beautiful sister?】

—

The little white cat grabbed the round, white fruit with her two front paws and propped herself up with her back legs. She glanced at the golden-haired tiger and saw that he was still staring at her in a daze, his expression somewhat bewildered.

She let out a little huff, then turned to look at the fire fox and meowed a few times in an affectionate manner.

Fire fox: “……”

The fire fox looked at the little white cat, then at the golden-haired tiger. What did this mean? Did the little white cat have feelings for her?

But wait, isn’t the little white cat also a female guest?

The fire fox walked over, tilted her head, and glanced at the little white cat. The little white cat was clearly excited, meowing a couple of times, her emerald eyes sparkling, joy almost overflowing from them.

The fire fox couldn’t help but be moved by this genuine display of affection.

She extended her front paw and lightly tapped the fruit in the little white cat’s arms. “Ji?”

‘Like it? If you like it, take it.’

She wasn’t opposed to a pretty little sister.

Qing Liu didn’t care too much about all that. Seeing how friendly and easygoing the fire fox was, she was absolutely delighted. She wrapped one paw around the fruit in her arms, and with the other paw, she lightly tapped the fire fox’s head while standing on her tiptoes.

“Ahhh! I ‘rua’d the fire fox!”

Qing Liu felt that today’s life was truly surreal and fulfilling.

Who would have thought that one day, she would get to ‘rua’ the panda, the brown bear, and the fire fox all at once?

As for the cold, unfeeling golden-haired tiger and the fierce-looking snow eagle… well, she wasn’t in a hurry.

She’d deal with them tomorrow!

Feeling satisfied, Qing Liu wagged her tail and, holding the fruit that the fire fox “gave” her, she happily skipped back to the villa, jumped onto the sofa, carefully placed the fruit down, then jumped off again.

It was getting late, and Qing Liu noticed the sun had started to set, signaling that it was already afternoon, and dusk was approaching. She wasn’t sure when the litter box caretaker would be back.

She was actually quite curious about the caretaker.

The other furry creatures were all worried about tonight’s task. After all, they had to find a compatible roommate and then lick each other’s fur.

Since the show had specifically mentioned “licking fur,” it was clear that the roommates had to be of the opposite sex, and this was the first task for the initial couples.

CPs (couples) could be changed every day. If someone didn’t feel compatible with their current partner, they could switch the next day. However, if both furry creatures felt good about each other and wanted to continue getting to know one another, they could choose to stay together without switching.

It was the first day, and everyone had just met. Who would be the best roommate?

The fire fox had originally liked the golden-haired tiger, but since he had clearly rejected her, she wasn’t the type of fox to stubbornly chase after someone.

So, she immediately turned around and went into the villa to look for a new roommate — the little white cat!

After all, the little white cat was so cute, and the little white cat liked her too!

Little did she know, the panda and the brown bear had the same idea.

As soon as the little white cat entered the villa, the fire fox, the panda, and the brown bear all followed in after her.

Outside, only the golden-haired tiger lay in the shade under the tree, and the snow eagle stood on a high branch.

【I bet the golden-haired tiger will regret it later!】
