Xiao Yu placed the cat food bowl on the dining table, squinting his eyes and acting cute, hoping the sensible big fat cat would accompany him for a meal.
Even though Leon was now a cat, he felt that the omega was spoiling him too much.
How could a cat dine with its owner?
Wait, Xiao Yu wasn’t his owner.
The cold and aloof Leon curled one side of his cat mouth, viewing the easily satisfied orange omega as his little prey within reach.
Lowering his head, the cat opened its mouth like a big excavator, scooping up the cat food in a few bites.
Xiao Yu finally understood the feeling of an elder watching their grandchild eat heartily, his pretty face showing a hint of kindness, and his appetite increased as well.
After the meal, the direction of the Mercedes wasn’t towards the cat café.
The round and slightly flat cat face turned to the side, emitting a deep, low inquiry sound, full of alpha demeanor: “Moo?”
Xiao Yu curled his lips, saying nothing.
This made the golden big bread cat frown its non-existent eyebrows.
Leon had arranged with Hearn last night to meet at the cat café. If he didn’t go today…
He couldn’t guarantee that his agent would still believe in such a scientifically inexplicable phenomenon.
The vehicle entered the underground parking lot of a grand building, and Leon saw the “Ji” logo. This wasn’t Xiao’s property; it seemed like he was planning to introduce him to someone.
Did this omega like socializing so much?
Leon wasn’t too pleased, feeling jealous of countless imaginary rivals.
“Let’s go!”
Xiao Yu opened the passenger door, intending to carry the cat, casually saying, “I’m taking you to meet my enemy.”
The big dough ball, lost in dark speculation, was silent for a moment: “Meow?”
Enemy?
With a thud, the four paws hit the ground, making a heavy sound. Without needing Xiao Yu to say more, the big bread cat boldly led the way, even switching its gaze to a vertical pupil combat mode.
It was just short of grabbing a beer bottle to smash as a weapon.
The little young master helplessly pursed his lips.
Why was this little guy so rough and rowdy?
A streetwise cat.
“Hey, we’re not going to fight!” The omega quickly followed the little tiger.
He was rarely shy, his fingers subconsciously scratching his cheek.
“Actually, I’m taking you to buy a smart pet collar. The top boss is my former crush, hehe.”
“…”
He even said hehe?
Leon suddenly stopped, meowing as he turned to look at him.
Why were there so many people around him?
Xiao Yu knew that the little cat’s intelligence was at most equivalent to a two or three-year-old child, but he couldn’t help but explain as if talking to himself.
“I didn’t hit it off with that alpha, but he turned around and got engaged to another omega, who was my junior. Just thinking about it makes me unhappy.”
“Today, I just want to show them something!”
The big cat’s face twisted slightly with sourness, showing a hostile expression.
Didn’t hit it off, but still wanted to mourn for three years?
This omega was quite domineering.
Leon had a lot of complaints, but if Xiao Yu really needed him to charge into battle, he would definitely use his boxing skills to beat up that tasteless alpha.
Glancing at the fragrant and delicate omega, he was curious about how the little young master, who couldn’t lift a shoulder or carry a hand, planned to show them something.
Buying a pet collar and flipping the table halfway to fight?
“Isn’t it impressive—!?”
In the office of the Ji’s CEO, Xiao Yu struggled to lift a long, fat cat, his two thin arms trembling with exhaustion, stubbornly showing it off to the alpha and omega opposite him.
Leon: “.”
Really showing off.
But he didn’t expect to be Xiao Yu’s trump card, and a sense of pride and honor instantly spread throughout his body, his blood boiling.
The cat puffed out its chest and raised its head, its gaze firm, like a competition-level animal about to be awarded a medal.
“This is the little cat I picked up to repay me, rarer than my treasured jewelry!”
As he spoke, Xiao Yu’s eyebrows danced with excitement, his delicate nose almost stretching out like Pinocchio’s.
“You can’t buy it even if you spend money!”
General Ji, who didn’t see eye to eye with the little young master, was silent.
He stood up, rubbed his fiancée’s head, and politely said to Xiao Yu, “Your cat is very fat. Also, the high-end smart collar will be introduced to you by the project manager. I have a meeting to attend.”
Xiao Yu nodded.
His attention was on General Ji’s fiancée, a junior from the same school and major, Mi Su, the young master of the Mi family.
He had heard that this person was very knowledgeable about cats and had come specifically to show off.
“My cat can even order breakfast for me.”
“Impossible.” Mi Su shook his head, confidently saying, “Generally, cats can’t understand human language.”
Xiao Yu and Leon exchanged a glance, and he snapped his fingers.
The big cat, with its fat jiggling as it walked, stood on the table, and before the omega could play the left-hand-right-hand game, it leaped into the air, performing a neat backflip!
The afterimage spun in the air, forming a ring with its head and tail connected, a golden bagel.
As it moved, the cat’s body exuded a powerful aura.
“Roar—!”
Xiao Yu: “!”
Whoa, beyond expectations.
Mi Su’s eyes widened, incredulously looking at Leon’s face, round like a Xinjiang baked naan, not yet neutered but already with such a chubby face.
Even if there were ten thousand more cats, none would have such a fat and round face.
He angrily pounded the table, “Damn, I actually lost!”
The project manager, completely out of sync with the situation: “…”
Do rich people now compete with cats?
Soon, the omega, full of smiles, personally put the collar on the big, bold cat, praising, “Little Zhi, well done, you really made your brother proud.”
When he placed a sweet, citrus-scented kiss, the cat gentlemanly lowered its head.
Even the triangular, plump cat ears folded back, forming an airplane shape, showing humility and submission to Xiao Yu.
“Now I can always know where you are, and I won’t be afraid of you getting lost again.”
“Meow-la.”
Luckily, it didn’t have a listening function.
Xiao Yu, in a triumphant stance, was much gentler when adjusting the elastic band for the cat.
The car drove onto the main road towards the cat café, and Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
During the days when Xiao Yu invited male models to warm up the shop, many peers, classmates, and even family members thought he was being unconventional, using undignified methods to attract attention, lacking dignity.
He almost had to sublet the thriving shop, and talking about dignity would have been putting the cart before the horse.
His brother called several times, urging him to send the ducks back to the duck farm, saying it lowered the class.
Xiao Yu covered his ears and started reciting motivational quotes, “Put on socks before shoes, be a grandson before a grandfather,” chanting like a mantra, almost driving his brother to death, who then stopped persuading him.
Before the car even stopped, he saw the shop was much busier than usual.
A faint sense of relief crossed his expression.
Several employees were busy running back and forth, and the chubby Lai Cai was more agile than usual, enthusiastically greeting, “Good morning, boss!”
The guests, who were frolicking with the little cats, looked over at the sound.
Their eyes went wide.
You mean…
This omega is not only so beautiful but also smart!?
Now, the object of rescue from the little cats turned into the beautiful boss, with a few alphas jokingly saying, “We want coffee made by the boss himself!”
Xiao Yu cast a proud glance, his full lips curling up.
His tone and actions were brisk: “No problem.”
The omega deftly tied on an apron, rolled up his sleeves to reveal a section of snow-white lotus arms, and skillfully operated the coffee machine.
Leon, upon entering, looked around for Hearn’s figure, unsure if he would come or when.
While anxious, he noticed those men grinning foolishly, staring at the little fox fish without end.
“Buzz…”
The cat unconsciously emitted a threatening low growl, passing by each of them.
One of them was even wearing the same outfit as him.
Fortunately, they were all ugly, and with the picky young master’s taste, he wouldn’t fancy them.
Leon was still dissatisfied with the men’s eager and infatuated gazes, but he was somewhat relieved.
Not seeing Hearn on the first floor, the cat dashed to the second floor.
Sure enough, a medium-built beta in his thirties was squatting in front of a little cat, sneakily and awkwardly asking in a low voice, “Are you Leon?”
The cat ignored him, turning its head to sleep.
Hearn then looked at the little kitten that had just started receiving guests for over two months.
“Then what about you? Are you Leon? Sigh, you look so kind, definitely not Leon…”
Suddenly, the coconut-flavored big bread appeared.
Hearn was shocked, pointing at the cat, somehow recognizing it at a glance: “You, you—!”
Leon sat on the macaron-shaped small round table, clearly a fluffy creature, but his aura and gaze were not ordinary.
“Moo.”
It’s me.
The cat meowed a few times, ordering him to inventory his assets and hire a private detective to investigate the illegal drugs.
After meowing, he realized Hearn couldn’t understand.
From his debut as an unknown to his current success, it was all thanks to Hearn’s cultivation. This honest and occasionally ambitious Federation man was his benefactor.
“How can I believe you’re Leon?” Hearn looked at him suspiciously.
Leon felt speechless at such a dumb question, wanting to knock him out with a hook punch.
Which cat would prove itself to be a human?
The fierce and cold big bread suddenly seemed to stand, lightly bouncing a few steps, raising its two white front paws to its face, while its hind legs quickly swayed left and right a few times!
The movements were smooth and professional, but limited by the cat’s body, appearing somewhat funny and clumsy.
Hearn was shocked.
His gold medal fighter had really turned into a cat!?
This was enough to prove Leon’s identity.
But this Slavic alpha, always proud and with a strong sense of self-esteem, suddenly used his debut day’s ultimate move, a combination of left and right hook punches!
If Leon’s human body had executed this, the opponent would face a devastating blow.
Hearn quickly retreated, falling backward from the small stool, tumbling over.
Even with such a quick reaction, he was still hit by the fierce wind of the cat’s punch!
Hearn cried out in pain, feeling like his jaw was about to dislocate.
The golden shaded big fat cat sat firmly, like an immovable mountain.
“Meow.”
Now do you believe it?
Hearn nodded repeatedly, not waiting for pleasantries, when he heard Xiao Yu’s footsteps coming up the stairs, the omega loudly asking, “What happened?”
Seeing the man sitting there holding his jaw, Xiao Yu’s expression changed slightly.
“Are you investigating me?” He raised an eyebrow disdainfully, “I said I only met your Leon once, even if I agreed to help you find him, you can’t come to my workplace and cause trouble, right?”
Hearn glanced at the big fat cat.
Waving his hands repeatedly: “No, no…! You misunderstood, I just happened to pass by the cat café and wanted to take a break.”
Xiao Yu: “Then why were you yelling?”
“…” Hearn picked up the golden shaded cat, almost dislocating his old waist, struggling to say, “I was just overwhelmed by the cuteness and stomped my feet.”
Seeing the little cat not resisting, only showing disdain and nausea as if being picked up by poop, ready to backflip and kick the other at any moment, Xiao Yu felt relieved.
Downstairs, the guests loved the eloquent and stunningly beautiful Little Fish boss, shouting for him to come down and play board games together. Xiao Yu agreed and left in a hurry.
The big bread instinctively wanted to follow the omega, but Hearn grabbed him.
“Where are you going!? Do you know the sports world has changed now!”
Leon glanced at the ceiling’s surveillance, just in case, signaling Hearn to follow him.
In such a prime location, Xiao Yu had set up such a large shop, using the best of everything, even the restroom was spacious and bright, exuding a high-end fragrance.
Click.
The door locked.
Hearn couldn’t believe his eyes as the big fat cat suddenly turned into the familiar alpha boxer, only with tiger ears on his head and a tiger tail down his spine, adding a lot of beastly aggression and horror.
“Leon…! It’s really you!”
Hearn was moved to tears, watching as the man turned his back, sniffing something obsessively. He nervously and seriously asked, “What are you smelling? I warn you, if you get involved in something, not even God resurrecting can save you!”
Leon impatiently frowned.
Quickly stuffing something into his pocket.
It was the clean underwear he had stolen from Xiao Yu, filled with the sweet scent of citrus pheromones and laundry detergent.
Every time he smelled the young master’s scent, he could temporarily change back.
Leon recounted his experiences during this time, turning into a cat and then a tiger, bizarre and absurd.
The two quickly calculated the situation in the boxing arena during this period. As his agent, Hearn would help him contact various banks to inventory his assets, preventing them from falling into the hands of thieves.
“I can only freely change my body when I smell Xiao Yu’s citrus pheromones.”
The alpha’s voice was cold and low, with a grainy texture like sand.
In Russian, unhurriedly: “I can’t leave him now.”
“But you have to return to your country someday.” Hearn looked troubled, “Mr. Xiao doesn’t know your secret as a cat, but he has met you in person and has a very poor impression of you.”
“How could you do something so frivolous, Leon?”
The alpha’s eyes sharpened, his face dark, clearly unwilling to discuss the matter.
Not only that.
He had even been slapped by Xiao Yu.
The beta dared not criticize him further, sighing, “He won’t cooperate with you, he might even report you to the police.”
The most beloved little cat turned out to be the alpha he disliked.
This would be unbearable for anyone.
“Who says he won’t cooperate?” Leon’s features were sharp and cold, his exotic eyes deep and unfathomable, rippling slightly, “Do you know the concept of a heart anchor?”
“What?”
“Little Fox Fish really likes handsome men.”
Leon called him that, and Hearn subtly showed an ambiguous expression of “giving people nicknames.”
The alpha remained unmoved, continuing, “I can use my human body to show my face when he’s half-awake, half-asleep. It’s okay if he dislikes me once or twice; over time, he’ll only remember that I’m his type.”
“When our relationship progresses, ideally becoming a couple naturally.”
“By then, I can smell his glands anytime. Once I find a way to break this curse, I’ll break up with him and give him freedom.”
Hearn never knew the cold Leon had such a scheming mind, especially towards an omega, jokingly saying, “Don’t you think it’s unfair? Deceiving an omega’s feelings.”
“He’s lively and fiery, but still a college student, hasn’t seen the sinister side of people?”
“Leon, this move is very bad.”
The alpha was hit where it hurt.
He wanted to use Xiao Yu’s feelings, indeed despicable and shameless. But he had no choice.
His thin lips opened and closed, and Leon finally uttered a sentence—
“I’ll compensate him, no matter how much it costs.”
Hearn saw through it but didn’t say it, smiling and shaking his head.
Leon gave many instructions, and when the agent asked if there were any additional tasks, he said, “Prepare a custom suit for me; I don’t want to wear the same clothes as the ugly guys downstairs.”
Hearn: “…”
Guests at the cat café couldn’t take cats into the restroom alone, so soon a vigilant employee came knocking, inquiring with suspicion and concern.
Hearn opened the door from inside, and the fluffy big bread cat dashed out.
On the cat scratching board, it rumbled and scratched, powerful enough to quickly destroy a cardboard cat scratching board.
The boss’s precious seemed fine.
The employee then politely nodded.
Xiao Yu’s day could be summed up in one word: satisfying.
He showed off in front of Mi Su, hearing him admit defeat, and played games with new guests, gaining a lot of goodwill. By the end of the day, he felt increasingly exhilarated.
Until he and the little orange cat stepped out of the elevator and saw three people standing at the door, his excited face suddenly fell.
“Moo?”
Leon looked at him, inquiring with his tone.
“These two are my founders,” Xiao Yu pointed to his parents.
Leon saw a familiar alpha and was immediately displeased.
Xiao Yu went forward to open the door.
While being scolded by his family for being improper, he explained to the little cat, “This is my brother, doesn’t he look like he was picked up?”
The little orange cat shook its ears, suddenly much happier.
When meeting Xiao Qiong’s gaze, its instinctively fierce and cold eyes softened, as if looking at a future brother-in-law.
“Why did I come? You still have the nerve to ask.”
Mother Xiao carried a bunch of prepared dishes, all her youngest son’s favorites, and halfway through her words, she changed the subject, “Aren’t I worried you can’t take care of yourself alone?”
The omega glared at Xiao Qiong, who casually looked away.
It must have been his cheap brother complaining to the family, suspecting he was involved with some shady alphas!
Tonight was sure to be a mixed interrogation and lecture from his parents.
“Let me see my son’s pigsty.” Father Xiao cheerfully walked in, “Hmm? So clean.”
The whole family, including Xiao Yu, was stunned.
It was really clean.
The kind of clean that Xiao Yu couldn’t achieve himself.
The omega scratched his head, he had left in a hurry in the morning and hadn’t paid attention to the cleanliness. Did he clean while sleepwalking?
The big orange cat politely socialized with Father Xiao, playing a game of paw-paw.
Father Xiao was already smitten with the big fatty.
The big bread cat glanced at Xiao Yu’s still puzzled expression, feeling a sense of pride.
The family sat down to chat, and sure enough, within three sentences, they started introducing potential partners to the omega, hoping he would have a proper support.
Xiao Yu slumped on the sofa, gnawing on beef jerky made by the nanny, expressionlessly watching TV.
Fully demonstrating what it means to go in one ear and out the other.
Partners, partners, why do Federation people love introducing partners so much?
Leon grew more and more irritated.
He was now unarmed, even struggling to switch states, let alone stop Xiao Yu from dating.
The cat, restless, walked into the wardrobe, pawing open the closet, climbing in and burying itself in the soft clothes most saturated with Xiao Yu’s scent.
Mother Xiao was truly angered by her youngest son’s attitude.
She stopped asking, simply walking around, going to the wardrobe to see if the lazy child had organized his seasonal clothes.
As she opened the door, Mother Xiao clutched her heart, letting out a piercing scream!
The family rushed into the wardrobe like a tornado.
Xiao Yu quickly supported the slender shoulders of the beautiful woman, his face soon as pale as his mother’s: “Mom, what’s wrong!?”
Did she discover his Russian Dior?!
Mother Xiao, trembling, pointed to the closet.
“Just now, there was clearly a man… a foreigner, green eyes, high nose bridge! Very handsome! Very handsome!”
Father Xiao glared at her, not understanding why she emphasized it twice.
In the closet, the cat’s expression remained calm as usual.
Only the hind legs buried in the clothes trembled slightly, startled by the mother-in-law’s scream. Leon didn’t know he had suddenly changed back to human form while sleeping soundly.
… Truly a slip-up.
“Impossible.” Xiao Yu directly laughed, stepping forward to take a look, “Isn’t this my Little Zhi? He’s so smart, don’t scare him.”
He turned his back to the cat, looking at his bewildered family.
“This is a cat, where’s the man?”
In his nervousness, Leon took a deep breath, accidentally inhaling a mouthful of the sweet and sour citrus scent—
The gloomy, tall Russian hunk flashed by.
Then, Brother Xiao and Father Xiao let out identical screams!
Father Xiao, suffering from high blood pressure, fainted on the spot.
“This is just a cat!” The omega was completely caught off guard, not understanding what happened, shouting for his dad.
Even the cat in the wardrobe jumped down, anxiously approaching.
“Meow!”
Uncle, what’s wrong, Ula!?
