In the late autumn, the chill was biting, and the clothes were getting thicker. This year’s Beijing City was bound to have a cold winter.
The young master, dressed in a white coarse tweed Chanel jacket, stood at the door with a gloomy face, seemingly unaware of the cold. He had opened the cap of his perfume but forgot the next step.
The Alpha he was interested in was actually engaged. Truly a failure in love.
As his mood dipped slightly, the intense sweet orange pheromone uncontrollably overflowed again. Xiao Yu was startled, quickly sprayed some perfume, and replaced it with a strong inhibitor patch. He was born with a gland defect and couldn’t control his pheromones well.
As a beautiful Omega, he had been called a little vixen since he was young. In the past, he would only cry, but now he would say thank you and ask for more compliments, inadvertently showing off his Ferrari keys, enjoying the sight of those people’s faces turning livid.
But every time he came to the cat café, Xiao Yu would be extra careful. He had no choice. This scent, cats didn’t like it.
“Mimi—!” He pushed the door open with a smile, only to see the part-time student employee with a bitter face, pulling out a piece of paper from the printer with just four words on it— “Shop for Rent?”
Xiao Yu’s sharp little face was momentarily confused. When he wasn’t smiling or being mischievous, his expression was a bit indifferent, as if recalling when his money-making plan went wrong.
Young Master Xiao hadn’t even graduated from college when he started a business, renting a two-story shop in a prime location, investing a lot to open a cat café. But he forgot that the best business for a rich second generation is not to start a business.
“Little Fish Boss, you’re back.” The employee cautiously asked, “Should we put this up now?”
Xiao Yu remembered. He loved to show off all day, but he really had no business talent. The shop had long been running at a loss, and everyone was about to disband. He sighed and didn’t answer. Squatting down, he stretched out a pair of fair and slender hands: “Babies, come here.”
The kittens, who were wagging their tails and purring, suddenly scattered like cold water splashed into hot oil. When he tried to forcibly hug one, the little guy went into rattlesnake mode, claws out.
“Ha—!” The sight of the beautiful and dazzling Omega squatting on the ground in a daze was truly heart-wrenching. He mumbled, “Am I really that annoying?”
Due to his natural pheromone overflow, Alphas had quite a few opinions about him behind his back, and even the cats didn’t like him. The employee comforted, “Boss, it’s not that…”
“I’m going out for a spin.” Xiao Yu stood up with a straight face, blinked to hide his reddening eyes, “You guys keep working, at worst I’ll earn money to pay your salaries.”
He was at most two or three years older than these employees. So young, it’s normal to not do things well, but he didn’t understand why he couldn’t do anything right. Even if he was just trying his luck, couldn’t he be a bit luckier?
Good luck, oh good luck. Where the hell have you gone?
Men don’t love him, cats don’t love him. Who can give him an explanation?
Click—
The scent of orange blossom ignited, and amidst the swirling smoke, a face as mischievous as a spirit appeared. Xiao Yu walked aimlessly, his rosy lips slightly parted in relaxation.
He actually knew why the shop wasn’t doing well. Just this month, he had driven away several tables of customers. Those heartless people disliked that the shop was full of adopted stray cats instead of artificially bred pedigree cats, often violently playing with the cats, and he drove them all away.
Whenever he got angry, his young master syndrome would flare up, either wanting to beat people up or spend money to humiliate them. But Xiao Yu felt satisfied. It’s all fate, why distinguish between noble and lowly?
Moreover, the students working for him were all from ordinary or even poor backgrounds, and he would soften his heart and improve their welfare. This was also a major expense for the cat café.
Even if he was stupid, he had at least done quite a few good deeds, right? He didn’t have many hobbies in this life, just two— 1. Cute little kittens 2. Handsome muscular Alphas
Yet, the heavens didn’t grant him either!
Feeling emotional, Xiao Yu was about to shed a few tears in self-pity when a strange sound reached his ears, like the low growl of a beast. This sound was too unfamiliar to someone who grew up in the city, completely beyond his understanding.
He stopped, slowly looking towards the dark, eerie alley that the streetlight couldn’t reach. What… what is it…?
A pair of sinister green eyes, like ghostly flames, suddenly looked at him. Xiao Yu screamed in fright, his legs going weak, unable to even run!
His face was bloodless, and without any weapon for self-defense, he could only press down on the lighter, trying to use the flame to drive away the dirty thing: “Are you human or ghost, come out!”
The green eyes in the alley briefly disappeared. In a place Xiao Yu couldn’t see, a massive body as large as a mountain slowly moved, the tiger’s striped fur bright and glaring, its huge paws capable of crushing a living person. As it moved, the beast underwent an astonishing transformation.
Xiao Yu’s heart was in his throat, countless scenarios flashing through his mind. Ghost? Wild boar? Homeless person?
A small paw firmly stepped on the asphalt road. An orange, round figure slowly appeared under the streetlight, raising its head to reveal a pair of emerald green eyes, its little bun face showing a cold and unruly expression.
The cat opened its mouth, and it was actually a fierce little smoky voice. “Meow!”
“Boxing champion Alexei Leon is suspected of using illegal drugs and match-fixing. His agent announced his withdrawal from next week’s match.”
“This will be a heavy blow to the athlete’s career. Leon, young and impetuous, is currently whereabouts unknown…”
“Casino? Yacht party? Private island? It’s unknown!”
Turning off the boring gossip live broadcast, the store clerk picked up a coquettish little cat. Sighing, “You little rascals, why can’t you let Little Fish Boss cuddle you?”
“He’s so fragrant.” Saying this, the clerk’s expression became dazed, as if smelling that high-end fragrance again. —Ula. How can it smell so good?
Alexei Leon was in Beijing City for a vacation, not understanding why he suddenly turned into a tiger, staring at his thick tiger paws in a daze, when a strong high-level Omega pheromone overwhelmed him first.
Like an orange suddenly squeezed, the pulp sweet and slightly astringent, with a strong presence. The wet tiger nose quickly sniffed, then saw the owner of that fragrance.
The calm, impatient eyes hesitated for a moment. …Oriental beauty.
A tall, slender young man stood shivering under the light, both timid and fierce, clearly looking fragile enough to faint at any moment, yet daring to threaten him. “Come out!”
Leon was the richest and most reckless among Alpha boxers, with no heart for pitying beauties. He couldn’t tell if he was hallucinating from the psychological drugs or if he had indeed turned into a tiger.
Anyway, he decided to scare this Oriental beauty into tears or fainting before deciding what to do next. So he swung his thick, whip-like tiger tail out, full of momentum.
The next second, he saw the Omega’s lips drop the thin cigarette. “Mimi!”
The previously terrified and enchanting face suddenly lit up like spring, the enticing little red mole on his cheek coming to life, shouting, “Such a cute baby!”
The Omega, dressed in black under the white coat, was excessively thin, with a slender waist and long legs that could be grasped in one hand. Such a small thing. Calling him a baby, saying he’s cute.
The stunned Leon reached out, tentatively touching the fragrant Oriental porcelain doll, and his cat body shivered! The usual iron fist that could knock out an opponent with one punch had turned into a very small… cat paw. In the warm light, it was covered in a layer of fluff.
“Meow!?” Leon wanted to curse, but all that came out was meow meow meow, and as a proper Russian, he couldn’t even roll his tongue.
“You’re so good.”
For the first time being approached by a cat, Xiao Yu was flustered, hurriedly stomping out the cigarette butt and pulling out a cat treat from his pocket. “Come.”
The Omega’s sleeve emitted a faint fragrance, a mix of his expensive luxury brand perfume and the leather scent of his handbag. More accurately, it was the smell of money.
But Leon, who had been at the top of the wealth list for boxing athletes for three consecutive years, with countless match earnings and commercial promotions, lacked nothing but money.
Xiao Yu, full of anticipation, coaxed in a high-pitched voice, “Eat this, and let brother give you a kiss?”
What breed is this? Golden shaded or orange cat? Neither, the more he looked, the more he liked it! Even if he was unlucky in love and running at a loss, so what? Having a warm cat in the bed on a cold day was better than anything.
Meow. Whether you nod or not, I’m taking you with me.
“Meow!” Halfway through his fantasy, a series of continuous combo cat punches shattered the cat treat into pieces. Xiao Yu was momentarily frightened by the cold expression on the round little cat face, it was practically a tiger.
Leon couldn’t believe he had really turned into an animal. If it were a tiger, fine, but it was a cat! And being insulted by an Omega with cheap cat treats, his four little paws paced back and forth anxiously, his tail slapping the ground with a loud sound and standing high!
He had to go back… back to his country.
His thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a sob, his sensitive cat ears tilting. Following the sound, he saw the delicate Omega squatting in front of the cat, tears like broken pearls, pattering down, wetting the cat’s clever fur.
Leon suddenly widened his eyes, the whole cat tensing into a parallelogram!
Xiao Yu couldn’t hold it in anymore. He was really glad it was just a cat in front of him, he could cry freely without fear of embarrassment. The long-standing grievances and troubles couldn’t be stopped once they started, Young Master Xiao didn’t care about face anymore, shamelessly throwing a tantrum at a cat, crying to the sky: “What’s wrong with letting me kiss you! You’re not even an Alpha!”
The fluffy little orange cat’s fur stood on end, not knowing what to do. The boxer’s cold, hard attack instinct kicked in, muttering old Wu old Wu, a chubby lump, looking even fiercer.
Xiao Yu brought his pretty face closer. “Come on, hit me! Stinky cat, bad cat!”
The fox-like eyes that were smiling and seductive just now, even the eyelashes were wet and clumped together. The tip of his nose was red, like white porcelain with a glaze of color, pitifully charming.
The cat, who had just planned to scare the person into tears or fainting, was at a loss. How could he really cry?
Seeing the spoiled and unreasonable Omega getting more and more upset, throwing a fit because he couldn’t touch the cat, so delicate. The little orange cat, who had been fierce just now, clearly sighed.
Annoyed and embarrassed, he kept licking his mouth, finally collapsing like a special forces soldier, resolutely raising his paw to reveal his soft belly— “Meow.”
Just this once, I’ll indulge you.
