Pet-Friendly Restaurant.
“Look!”
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and lifted the cat in front of his two friends, his beautiful face glowing with pride.
“Let me introduce you, Ao Runzhi, my newly adopted cat. We get along so well, and he can even guard the house! He just beat up that jerk for me, I really regret not recording it for you guys to see, haha.”
Lin Yue and Shi Xu both gasped.
From the photos, this cat didn’t look so fat and fierce.
The orange and white round face showed a mix of indifference and nonchalance.
It let out a low, rough growl: “Meow.”
Ura.
Hello.
Leon thought the progress with the omega was too fast, he was actually meeting his friends now, and his heart raced as if he was stepping into the ring for the first time.
The cat nodded formally at the two of them.
Alpha Lin Yue tried to pet the big bread loaf, but the loaf immediately shrank back, smoothly and disdainfully dodging, naturally rubbing against Xiao Yu’s palm, enjoying the sweet orange scent on him.
Somehow, Leon, who suffered from anxiety-induced migraines, felt much more comfortable after smelling the omega’s scent.
Purr…
The cat’s deep eyes looked at Xiao Yu.
Lin Yue: “Did I see it wrong? He seems to really like your scent, almost like a human.”
His tone was casual, yet carried a hint of vigilance and suspicion.
The way this cat was infatuated with Xiao Yu was no different from Xiao Yu’s fervent admirers, all driven by a physiological attraction.
Leon, also an alpha, instantly sensed the hostility, looking on coldly.
How could a crybaby, vain little porcelain doll have friends of the opposite sex?
Don’t they know alphas behave only when they’re hung on the wall?
Even a cat is suspicious, this person is definitely not easy to deal with.
Though he was right to be suspicious.
“It’s because Little Zhi likes me that I brought him home.”
Hearing his friend say this, Xiao Yu was even happier, ordering the highest level of pet food and placing the round little fat cat on a special table next to the main one.
As soon as he left the omega’s soft, fragrant embrace, the cat anxiously flicked its tail a few times.
“Awoo.”
The cat raised its paw, signaling the waiter to come over.
The group was chatting happily, and by the time they reacted, the big orange cat had already added a place setting, sitting solemnly next to Xiao Yu, with a black bow tie from the waiter hanging around its thick, furry neck.
With time tight and tasks heavy, Leon had to do this for formality’s sake.
For a traditional Slavic man, meeting the friends of a romantic interest for the first time required showing some attitude.
Xiao Yu was so charmed he screamed, hugging the cat and taking a bunch of photos.
Beta Shi Xu, who had been a transparent person for half the day, finally couldn’t help but exclaim: “This cat really is something!”
From Xiao Yu’s introduction and Leon’s own judgment, he roughly knew these three were middle school classmates.
Although Lin Yue was an alpha, he was gentle and not competitive.
As a child, because he was too good-natured, he was cornered in an alley by school bullies demanding money, and he gave it every time. Xiao Yu sarcastically said, “Since you gave it to them, you should give it to me too.”
Unexpectedly, Lin Yue really gave it.
Xiao Yu was so angry he gave him a good beating, forbidding him from being a pushover again.
Beta Shi Xu was so transparent that even the school bully collecting protection fees overlooked him, so he angrily offered money himself, earning another beating from Xiao Yu.
The bravest thing the three of them did—
Was to join forces against the bullies, snatching the protection money they extorted from others, only to accidentally fall into a manure truck while escaping over the wall. Since it happened at the back gate of the school, it became known among students as the “South Gate Poop Incident,” and is still a legendary tale.
The three of them stayed in a VIP hospital room for two months, officially establishing their revolutionary friendship.
Such a fiery-tempered omega quickly became the “boss” of the two.
Plus, Xiao Yu had a gland defect, naturally needing more care and love, so the alpha and beta’s attention had been on him for years, even though they were both quite eligible, they hadn’t dated.
Over time, it inevitably led to misunderstandings.
Mother Xiao often gave them a “this is a twisted love” look of heartache, wanting to say something but stopping.
Leon didn’t like Lin Yue, with his gold-rimmed glasses pretending to be intellectual.
The cat looked at the waiter beside him, and seeing that he didn’t have glasses to borrow, gave up regretfully.
After dinner, they moved to a nightclub.
Lin Yue suggested Xiao Yu send the cat back first, but Xiao Yu, seeing it was getting late, didn’t want to go back and forth, and besides, he couldn’t bear to part with it.
“I want to stick with my baby all the time, you guys don’t understand this feeling.” The omega’s pretty face pressed against the cat’s back, “It’s happier than being in love, he’s a reward from heaven!”
This damn omega!
The cat’s eyes widened in surprise, heart slightly moved.
Born to speak sweet words? Italian?
His hearing was much sharper now, if he went to a noisy nightclub, he’d probably feel uncomfortable soon.
But the iron-willed big bread loaf didn’t care, his gaze even more determined, the fragile little o couldn’t do without him, he had to go.
Of course, Xiao Yu wasn’t stupid enough to sacrifice his cat’s hearing just to accompany him for fun.
So, Lin Yue and Shi Xu soon witnessed the strange sight of alpha dancers dancing silently in the nightclub.
“……”
“……”
“Young Master, what kind of performance art is this?” Shi Xu couldn’t help but ask.
This nightclub was usually bustling at this time, but today, Young Master Xiao spent a fortune to book the place and even turned off the music.
“Don’t disturb me, I’m thinking.”
Xiao Yu sat in the booth holding the cat, staring straight at the dancers on stage, each one muscular, young, and handsome alpha, his long, lively fox eyes squinting, watching intently.
Without the sound effects, their every move seemed like a vulgar borderline dance.
To attract the taste of a unique pretty omega, they were almost willing to stand on the booth and twist.
The face of the coconut bread loaf turned black as a Siamese cat once again.
These alphas showing off their pecs and abs were simply cheap, the little orange cat angrily and coldly spoke: “Meow meow…”
No one will love you.
Xiao Yu certainly won’t.
“Who’s your lead dancer? Come over and add me on WeChat.” The omega, a bit tipsy, crossed his long legs, lounging comfortably on the sofa, swirling the ice in his glass, “I’ll contact you if I need anything.”
Xiao Yu thought he was a marketing genius.
He actually came up with the brilliant idea of having male models do a runway show at the cat café to attract customers, it would definitely revitalize his little shop!
Leon looked on in disbelief.
Need? Need what?
Smack!
A fist the size of a sandbag smashed the phone the lead dancer was fawningly handing over, shattering the screen.
The lead dancer alpha smiled apologetically: “No problem.”
He gestured for his assistant to show his QR code, the fat as a stone pillar orange cat coldly curled its lips, another punch.
Xiao Yu felt a bit embarrassed, saying he would compensate.
In the end, they didn’t add each other on WeChat, his fragrant, fair fingertips poked the little orange cat’s wet nose, drunk, his temper improved a bit, his tone half-smiling.
“Not listening? Then you go up and dance?”
Leon didn’t expect Xiao Yu to be interested in those vulgar and common types, with a bit of a sulking attitude, the chubby cat plopped into the corner of the sofa, ignoring everyone.
Comparing him to men who sell smiles.
The cat’s fists hardened.
He could punch a whole row to death.
Vaguely, the cat’s ears heard Lin Yue sharing gossip: “Do you guys watch boxing matches? The Russian boxing champion Alexei Leon has disappeared within the Federation, some say he ran away after match-fixing.”
“Ran away?” Xiao Yu, tipsy, squinted his fox eyes, his eyelids a shade of peach blossom pink.
When he leaned over, Lin Yue noticeably stiffened a bit.
The omega’s eyes unfocused, staring at the Slavic man’s cold, icy ID photo for a long time, the young alpha, with an air of arrogance almost spilling out of the screen.
Those emerald-like green eyes seemed familiar, unexpectedly hitting Xiao Yu’s fancy.
He frowned, inexplicably annoyed, flipping through the information a few times.
His lips, moistened by the cocktail, let out a slight contemptuous laugh.
“Looks so arrogant? Must be hiding out in the Federation, shacking up with some omega boyfriend because he’s embarrassed!”
The cat sitting on the side sulking: “……”
The sharp-tongued Eastern porcelain doll.
Does he dislike himself?
Xiao Yu was heavily drunk, swaying as his two friends got him into the car, the big orange cat prowling around him like a tiger, Lin Yue and Shi Xu didn’t dare touch him.
“Uh… orange? Should I carry you into the car?” Lin Yue tested.
The coconut bread loaf shot him a sinister look to get lost, jumping to Xiao Yu’s side.
Really don’t know why this young master’s heart is so big, even if the other is a friend, ultimately it’s the opposite sex, getting drunk casually is dangerous.
Leon was a traditional Russian, even his pheromones were vodka, but he still hated alcohol.
Back at the apartment, Xiao Yu unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
His drunken, beautiful face carried a faint smile, he was muddled, forgetting to invite them in for tea, repeatedly saying: “Don’t see me off, you two don’t see me off…”
Lin Yue, worried, wanted to go in.
But before he could step in, the little orange cat suddenly reversed, lifted its leg, and kicked, the door slammed shut, almost flattening his nose.
…This cat really is something, actually fighting for attention!
Xiao Yu collapsed on the carpet, a faint orange scent wafting out.
The cat paw walked to his side, hesitated for a moment, its wet nose tentatively nudged the omega’s fragrant clothes, no response.
The nose moved closer to his vulnerable gland, trying to wake him up.
“Meow.”
The floor is cold.
The omega’s warm, soft body scent gave Leon a brief sense of enchantment.
The snow-white cat paw on the carpet turned into a massive, fierce tiger paw, Leon’s eyes widened slightly as if discovering a secret.
The beast’s throat let out a rough panting sound.
The over one-ton body circled the unconscious, beautiful porcelain doll.
Thinking of those alphas coveting him, their eager or subtle gazes, the beast’s eyes gradually cooled.
The barbed tongue retracted, licking the sweet omega, his delicate face, long white hands, the straight slender legs wrapped in trousers, the possessive beast had to confirm each one.
Leon couldn’t explain why.
Like harvesting a round orange with green leaves, the Siberian tiger hugged him, sniffing again and again.
The sweet fruit scent and vodka gradually intertwined.
After unexpectedly returning to his human form, the first thing the alpha did wasn’t to check his phone, but to frown slightly, murmuring—
“рыбёнок, Ятебененравлюсь?”
(Little Fish, do you not like me?)
