"That cat is next to you, right? It sounds pretty lively."
"Yeah, um... no, it’s not lively at all. It’s got quite a temper, really hard to take care of, and it’s especially obsessed with cleanliness. Won’t even let anyone touch it."
"Huh?" The person on the other end didn’t expect Bai Yi to say that.
Shouldn’t he be praising the cat? How come he’s listing all its bad habits? Who would dare to adopt it then?
Hearing Bai Yi’s assessment, Feng Liyan was already upset and got even angrier. Its little paws kept scratching the sheet beneath it, and its eyes were practically shooting sparks, feeling like it was about to jump up and scratch Bai Yi’s face.
This guy is too much. Not only does he mock him, but he’s actually planning to give him away and even found someone to take him. How infuriating.
Buying stuff to pacify him on one hand, yet turning around and wanting to send him away. Totally two-faced.
Is he afraid that once I recover, I’ll hold him accountable?!
Kid, if you really dare to give me away, once I recover, I’ll make sure you regret it—
"It’s okay, I once adopted a cat that was hard to take care of too, and now it’s much more docile. Why don’t you bring the cat over for me to have a look?" Check latest chapters at novelꜰire.net
Hearing the other person urge him, Bai Yi got nervous.
He stared at the Little Gray Cat on the bed for quite a while, feeling conflicted inside. Finally, he gritted his teeth, "Sorry, Manager Xu, I don’t want to give this cat away, I want to keep it myself."
"Are you sure you won’t give it away?"
"Yes, sorry for making you come all this way. I want to keep it myself." With those words, Bai Yi felt a sense of relief followed by joy, feeling none of the burden he used to perceive in keeping the cat.
Especially when seeing the surprised look on the Little Gray Cat’s face after hearing that, he felt even happier.
"No problem, then take good care of it."
"Really sorry for making you come all this way." After exchanging a few apologetic words with the other person, Bai Yi hung up and took a deep breath, then looked at the Little Gray Cat on the bed.
Feng Liyan glanced at him, shifted, and turned its little butt towards him.
"I won’t give you away, I’ll keep you from now on."
"..." Feng Liyan ignored him.
"Really, I promise I won’t talk about giving you away anymore."
"Don’t be mad, there really won’t be a next time."
Bai Yi reached out his hand to approach it, but before he could touch it, it moved away again.
"You’re not upset that the other person is a girl and that I didn’t give you away, are you? Alright, if you want a female owner, I’ll call her back now."
As Bai Yi said this, he actually took out his phone and randomly pressed a couple of numbers.
Feng Liyan heard the sound and immediately turned around, rushing forward to knock the phone out of Bai Yi’s hand.
Kid, will you ever stop?!
Bai Yi didn’t even look at the phone that was knocked to the ground. He stifled a laugh and looked at the fuming Little Gray Cat.
"Not mad anymore? Willing to acknowledge me?"
"..." Feng Liyan turned its head away, full of pride.
"I really know I was wrong, I totally regret it, sincerely."
"So, let’s not be mad anymore, okay? If I ever mention giving you away again, I’ll slap myself."
Bai Yi tentatively reached out to grab its little paw, and the Little Gray Cat immediately pulled its paw back, not letting him touch it.
Bai Yi didn’t mind, he continued to stretch his hand forward, reaching for its little paw again.
Seeing the Little Gray Cat not move away this time, he happily held its little paw in his hand.
"Hmm... should I give you a name?"
