Chapter 13: I Can’t Just Pick Up Every One I See, Can I? (1/2)

After the guests had all left, they settled all the cats they had entertained throughout the day. Then, Shen Cheng picked up the car keys and said to a Cat Girls, “I’m going to buy some things. Maybe I’ll get some ready-to-eat food on the way back. Let’s just make do with it for tonight.”

Although the two Cat Girls had ears that drooped slightly, they raised no objections. Lin Yuhui nodded and said, “Be careful on the road and come back early.”

“Okay.”

Humming an unknown tune, Shen Cheng drove steadily down the chilly and deserted street, a smile on his face as he held the steering wheel.

This street, with the Light Spot Cat Café on its east side, led directly to the city center. It was bustling during the day, but at night it became quiet and lonely.

Not far ahead, a narrow alley branched off. Turning left at the mouth of the alley was a trash can, the place where Shen Cheng first met Cheese.

Memories of Cheese gradually emerged in Shen Cheng’s mind, centered around the vague recollection of that helplessly meowing kitten.

“Ha…” He chuckled lightly, shook his head, and continued to drive.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed into the alley from the corner on the other side of the street, startling Shen Cheng into slamming on the brakes. The sharp sound of the tires screeching against the ground echoed for a long time in the night.

After a moment of being stunned in the car, Shen Cheng finally came to his senses and murmured to himself, “Was that… a Cat Girl?”

Although it happened too quickly and Shen Cheng didn’t see clearly, under the car lights, he vaguely saw a fleeting tail and… a white dress?

Was this sent by that holy granny who specializes in giving starter outfits to catgirls? It must be, right?!

After a moment of silence, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

He had a moment just now… where he got a bit greedy for a little more.

However, thinking back, the place he was renting was actually Huihui’s house. Was he supposed to take all the catgirls there?

Lin Yuhui never said much, which was quite indulgent of Shen Cheng, but he wouldn’t take advantage of it.

Thinking of the image of the landlady with her hands on her hips, Shen Cheng shook his head with a wry smile and pressed the accelerator—

“……”

The car did not move.

Shen Cheng’s foot remained on the gas pedal but did not press down.

He turned his gaze to the can of luncheon meat placed nearby—a can he had bought to supplement his own meal but had forgotten to eat.

Picking up the can, Shen Cheng opened the car door, got out, and walked to the alley.

The alley was pitch black, and not a single shadow of a person or a cat could be seen.

But Shen Cheng still placed the can on the ground at the alley’s entrance. After standing up, he took one more deep look into the alley before turning around, getting back in the car, pressing the accelerator, and driving away.

Once the car had left, a small head timidly peeked out from the alley entrance, watching Shen Cheng’s car move into the distance.

Upon reaching the mall, the first thing Shen Cheng did was buy a maid outfit for Sugar. The saleswoman who greeted Shen Cheng was the same one as last time.

This time, the saleswoman looked at Shen Cheng with stars in her eyes: “So you are the owner of the Light Spot Cat Café in Lingshi City?”

Shen Cheng looked confused: “Huh?”
