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

I don’t remember this saleswoman ever visiting my Cat café. How did she recognize me?

Seeing Shen Cheng’s confusion, the saleswoman quickly took out her phone and casually scrolled through it, showing a video of Cheese working in the store while wearing a maid outfit.

Her bright smile, even through the screen, could lift anyone’s spirits, while Shen Cheng, standing behind the camera, watched her like a loving father watching his daughter.

After seeing this video, Shen Cheng was momentarily stunned, then shifted his gaze to the video’s uploader: Zhou Eats the World.

The video had tens of thousands of likes and thousands of shares.

Well, it seems that guy can be useful sometimes.

After buying the maid outfit, Shen Cheng also bought some casual clothes and daily necessities that were missing.

Finally, when purchasing bedding, Shen Cheng made a decision and bought a double quilt.

The bed in Cheese’s room was big enough for two to sleep in, so buying a double quilt for the two cats to share seemed like a good idea.

Imagining the two cats sleeping soundly together under the quilt, a smile naturally crept onto Shen Cheng’s face.

After stuffing everything into the trunk, Shen Cheng got into the driver’s seat and took a stroll around the city center, buying some cooked food before heading home.

The farther away he got from the city center’s neon lights, the clearer the crisp autumn night air felt.

Shen Cheng never played music while driving. He preferred listening to the sounds outside the window while glancing at the scenery from the corner of his eye.

Passing the alley again, Shen Cheng noticed that the canned luncheon meat he had placed earlier was still there, untouched.

Seeing this, Shen Cheng sighed, stopped the car, and got out to pick up the can.

The moment the can was in his hand, the heavy weight of something inside made Shen Cheng blink in surprise. He pulled the already loosened tab, and upon seeing the contents, he couldn’t help but laugh.

The canned food was gone, replaced by two dirty bouncy balls, seemingly pulled out of a trash bin.

Were these the toys that the Cat Girl liked?

Not minding the dirt, Shen Cheng stuffed the bouncy balls into his pocket, threw the empty can into a trash bin, and hummed a tune as he got back into the car.

After Shen Cheng’s car drove away, a frail figure emerged from the alley, watching the direction in which Shen Cheng had left. A faint smile gradually appeared on her face.

…

From a distance, Shen Cheng saw the warm lights shining from the second floor of the Cat café.

After parking the car, he took out his keys and walked into the café, heading upstairs. Before he could even raise his hand to knock, the door had already opened—

“Master nya!” A gray-blue figure leaped into his arms, and Shen Cheng instinctively caught her, the soft scent of milk lingering around his nose.

Looking up, Shen Cheng saw Sugar and Lin Yuhui, who seemed to have been waiting at the entrance for a long time. At that moment, Shen Cheng felt as if he was surrounded by all the warmth and happiness in the world.

It really felt… just like a family.

Feeling a little guilty for those who had worked hard for him all day—Lin Yuhui and Cheese—Shen Cheng still dragged his tired body into the kitchen. After stir-frying a dish, he brought the cooked food he had bought earlier to the table.

Upon seeing the dish Shen Cheng had personally cooked, the two Cat Girls, whose ears had drooped slightly, perked up immediately, twitching excitedly to express their joy.

Lin Yuhui didn’t show much emotion but silently watched Shen Cheng.

Lin Yuhui could see Shen Cheng’s exhaustion clearly. He had been the busiest that day, making cakes and grinding coffee, and now, despite his fatigue, he was cooking for them.

After dinner, Shen Cheng thought of helping set up the quilt for the two cats, but Lin Yuhui pushed him down, saying, “Senior, go take a bath first. Rest well after you’re done. I’ll handle the rest.”

“…Alright.” Shen Cheng was truly exhausted and didn’t refuse.

After watching Lin Yuhui lead the two cats into the bedroom, Shen Cheng slowly got up, yawned, and staggered into the bathroom.
