Those old-fashioned thick cotton pants were a gift from Xiao Yu’s older brother, Xiao Qiong, a few years ago. He said Xiao Yu was flaunting around in the dead of winter wearing just two sheets of paper and ordered him not to let himself freeze to death.
Everyone knew the omega young master with the orange scent loved to look good, and this thing was definitely not to his taste.
“Where did you dig up this antique from?”
Xiao Yu was stunned.
The big orange cat’s eyes slanted upwards, its emerald green eyes looking fierce. When it bit him gently, its little nose wrinkled up.
Upon hearing his words, it let out a warning “buzz!”
Xiao Yu’s taste and soft heart were at war. He squatted down and hugged the solid, fluffy little body, coaxing it affectionately.
“Baby, be good. If I hold you, I’ll be warm. I don’t need to wear it!”
The coconut-flavored big bread wasn’t having it and turned to bite and tug at his hand.
Even though the force was light, it couldn’t stop the omega’s tender skin from getting two small shallow dents.
Xiao Yu took the opportunity to cry out dramatically, “Hey, why are you like this, little kitty!”
“You’ve hurt your brother, and if you keep this up, there’ll be blood! Boo—”
He started to whimper and fake cry, looking all pitiful.
Seeing the cat dumbfounded, he deliberately covered his sly, beautiful fox eyes so it couldn’t see.
The little fat cat lifted a paw in confusion.
Real crying or fake crying?
The iron-willed straight male cat couldn’t tell. He only knew that this proud and beautiful young master was throwing a tantrum, even acting spoiled with a cat. Whoever becomes his boyfriend in the future is bound to suffer.
Who would be so unlucky?
The cat buzzed in confusion, its cool, wet nose sniffing his scent, lowering its round head to peek.
When it met Xiao Yu’s eyes, hidden under his arm and smiling, Leon was momentarily stunned.
For a moment, he thought he saw a fairy from a picture book.
The cat forgot its anger, grabbing the cotton pants and pretending to put them on him.
If he were in human form now, he could easily hold this delicate omega with one hand and do whatever he wanted with the other.
“Bao—bao!”
Xiao Yu dragged out his words playfully.
He really didn’t expect the little cat to be so persistent. In the end, he was moved by the cat’s filial piety, feeling that a life of retirement with a cat was just around the corner.
After ten minutes of cross-species communication, they finally agreed to swap the ugly thick cotton pants for thin fleece thermal pants.
Xiao Yu hadn’t worn such a thing in years and felt a bit uncomfortable, but it was indeed warm.
Glancing at the determined, stubborn little round face in the passenger seat, staring at him without blinking, as if the cat’s entire world was him, Xiao Yu’s discomfort vanished, and his heart felt even warmer.
The big doughy cat had strong independence, bolder than ordinary cats and more obedient than dogs, so he didn’t put the little guy back in the carrier.
As soon as they arrived at the cat café, the cat pawed open the car door and jumped out.
Xiao Yu’s brand-new brown lambskin shoes followed closely behind.
As soon as they entered the first-floor cat-petting area, the lively atmosphere, completely different from usual, hit them like steam. The fierce orange truck was momentarily stunned: “Meow?”
“Surprised?”
Xiao Yu smiled, patting the cat’s head gently, “Didn’t you meet them last night? Don’t you remember?”
Seven or eight flamboyant alphas stood up with smiles to greet Xiao Yu.
“Young Master Xiao.”
“Boss Xiao, you’re finally here!”
They were the same group of extraordinary guys from the nightclub last night, dancing without music.
The cat’s face fell instantly.
Besides them, there were also two store-exploring influencers with cameras snapping away.
The omega, like a sweet orange-scented butterfly, greeted everyone, almost too busy to handle it all.
The store employee, Lai Cai, was used to the cat café’s half-dead, laid-back vibe. Suddenly seeing so many people, he had a social anxiety attack, sweating bullets.
“Little Fish Boss, what’s going on?”
Xiao Yu snapped his fingers, whispering, “Male beauty economy, get it?”
“Let the guests enjoy the cats while watching them dance, with delicious coffee and little cakes. How can we not keep people?”
Lai Cai: “Boss, you just want to watch, don’t you.” He had just finished speaking when Xiao Yu elbowed him.
The young master’s plan was quite thorough.
He intended to have a male model show in a week, with rehearsals and warm-ups starting a week in advance, even inviting influencer friends to help out.
With so many furry kids in the store, they could hold on for a while. Even if he had to be a clown, he didn’t want to give up easily.
The fierce big orange cat’s eyes swept over every man fawning over Xiao Yu.
The omega he wanted to tie down, his only antidote.
Playing male models in a group.
The white fluffy little paws, like red bean buns, walked past, causing the actively working little cats to tremble and retreat.
This fellow was so strange.
Clearly in a cat’s body, yet exuding a tiger’s scent!
The blue fatty, Xiao Jianguo, was one of the top cats in the café, also cold-faced, cautiously stepping forward.
Two fatties meeting, a battle of the bulge.
Noses close, cat pheromones exchanged, two different colored tails flicking, a showdown imminent.
The next second, the blue fatty suddenly flipped over, exposing its belly.
“Mew~”
Seeing the highest-ranking British Shorthair submit, the other little cats followed suit, rolling over to show their bellies, acknowledging Leon’s supreme status.
The floor was covered with fluffy, soft bellies and four little feet.
In the blink of an eye, the cat café turned into a bread bakery, with bread having long ears and tails.
Xiao Yu was stunned by the spectacle, calling over his influencer friend.
“Quick, quick! Help me take a promo photo!”
Leon coldly twitched his cat whiskers: “…Meow.”
This shouldn’t be called a cat café; it should be a duck café.
The hard, cold Russian bread sat on the highest level of the cat tree, overlooking everyone, scanning each face, strictly searching for which alpha was closest to Xiao Yu.
Whose pants did he find last night?
If Xiao Yu had a romantic interest now, wouldn’t he, a monster alpha dependent on his pheromones, become a joke?
“Young Master Xiao.”
A pet blogger looked at his neck with an ambiguous gaze, teasingly asking, “Got something going on recently?”
Xiao Yu was puzzled.
He turned to the cute dressing mirror for selfies, and when he saw clearly, he was stunned, suspiciously pressing his neck, muttering with a strange expression, “Impossible…”
He looked again.
The omega was wearing a low-neck sweater today, generously showing off his straight, beautiful collarbones and slender neck, hard not to draw attention.
Because of this, the unmistakable hickey was even more obvious.
Xiao Yu felt a chill in his heart.
He had never been intimate with anyone, and the security at his apartment was tight. Even when drunk, he had to go home. Where did this come from?
Did Lin Yue and Shi Xu, those two bastards, have a meal with him?
If they did, he’d definitely kill them!
The more Xiao Yu thought about it, the worse his expression became, almost wanting to throw up.
His blogger friend, pretending to be nonchalant after discovering a juicy tidbit, comforted, “Hey, we’re all adults. Don’t worry, it’s nothing!”
“It’s nothing!” Xiao Yu’s beautiful fox eyes widened.
His plain and simple private life, no one could tarnish it.
But now, the situation was like jumping into the Yellow River and not being able to wash it clean. It was so clear, obviously sucked out. The angrier he got, the more it seemed like he was embarrassed and angry.
With a heavy thud, like a missile landing.
An orange round shadow descended from the sky, heroically landing in front of the two, its slightly bared sharp teeth looking ready to attack at any moment.
It was the first time seeing such a tough-tempered fat cat.
The blogger was so scared his hair stood on end, thinking the second floor had collapsed, patting his chest.
The hard Russian bread glanced at him, warningly dragging out its voice.
“Meow—”
Then it jumped into the omega’s fragrant embrace, bumping the delicate porcelain doll into a slight stumble, the cat apologetically rubbing against him.
Under the curious gazes of everyone, the cat bit into Xiao Yu’s collarbone skin, sucking hard.
“Ah…!” The omega tried to dodge, “Baby, it tickles.”
The white mouth moved away, leaving a red mark.
The protective Russian bread’s eyes were calm, yet hiding anger and sharpness, letting out a low, threatening growl.
The blogger friend laughed awkwardly, “So it was the cat, how naughty.”
The alphas who had been hesitant were secretly disappointed. So Young Master Xiao didn’t need company at night, meaning they had no chance to climb up?
Knowing the truth, Xiao Yu was both amused and annoyed.
He wanted to lift the Russian bread and question it, but the cat was too fat, and his thin arms were just too weak to move this mini Siberian tiger.
He simply hugged the big dough ball, stroking its fur.
“Baby, did you leave your mom too early, so you like to suck everywhere? Do you need a bottle?”
Inside the cat’s soul lived a 21-year-old cold-blooded boxer.
Who drinks milk? Not him.
“Meow.”
No.
Xiao Yu’s smiling fox eyes looked at him, curving into a crescent, suddenly bursting into laughter.
“Still want it? Otherwise, what if you suck somewhere else on brother next time?”
The soft, purring big bread froze, unable to believe what it heard.
Many images immediately floated before its eyes, Xiao Yu blushing, blinking his moist eyes, pleading with him, Xiao Yu’s slender waist and winding mermaid line, Xiao Yu’s pink…
The cat’s ears instantly burned hot!
Didn’t this omega feel shy?
Xiao Yu hadn’t teased for long before the cat kicked him, causing another stumble. Seeing the Russian bread almost fleeing, he chuckled, “Such a colorful cat.”
The whole day of rehearsal for the guys, Leon curled up high on the cat tree, spying.
His gaze was only on Xiao Yu, becoming the omega’s exclusive monitor.
The cat even jumped to the front desk to check the accounts on the computer, discovering that their Little Fish Boss really didn’t have much business acumen, with many accounts going through his private little treasury.
He guessed one reason for the shop’s losses was Xiao Yu being too soft-hearted and kind.
Leon had been out in society since his teens.
He had no parents, no protection, and had long mastered the survival of the fittest.
As a boxer, he also had quite a few commercial endorsements and promotions, and the principles were all interconnected. The young master needed someone to guide him.
Leon was about to meow a few words when he saw the omega being amused by those men, laughing and swaying.
The cat paw on the table tightened, uncontrollably revealing sharp tips.
He decided to keep an eye on this young master who flirted everywhere.
As winter approached, the sky darkened by evening.
Seeing the positive response to the emergency video sent out by his blogger friends, and the dancing alphas being quite diligent, Xiao Yu decided to treat everyone to hot pot as a reward.
The private room was noisy.
The omega didn’t like spicy food, staring tiredly at the fragrant bone broth base in front of him.
He was sleepy.
Wanted to cuddle with the cat and sleep.
The big orange cat sat beside him, silently pushing over a cup of warm barley tea. Xiao Yu glanced at it, his gaze gentle.
He was curious how much this little cat could understand, just about to say something when two alphas flanked him.
One, looking more well-behaved, wore a red wool hat, eyes full of emotion, holding a drink.
“Young Master Xiao, thank you for being so good to us. I toast to you.”
The slicked-back alpha glared at him, raising his glass in opposition, his eyes inexplicably red, trembling as he said, “Little Fish Boss, seeing you reminds me of my sick mom, my gambling dad, and my school-going brother…”
“You haven’t graduated college yet. Can I dare to call you brother? If you need anything in the future, just come to me. Don’t talk about money, it hurts feelings.”
Xiao Yu smiled faintly.
Playing with the wine glass, not responding.
He was strikingly beautiful, with sharp chin and eyes, like a fox spirit just gaining its essence, showing this indifferent expression in the misty air, making the alphas pause.
If they could latch onto the Xiao family’s second young master, an omega with gland issues needing care, they wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
Moreover, Xiao Yu was so good-looking, they’d be willing even if they had to pay.
At this moment, the round orange Russian bread suddenly stood up on the table edge, hooked Xiao Yu’s wine glass with a paw, bit it, and downed it in one go!
Xiao Yu was shocked: “Baby!”
There were red, white, and beer on the table, several glasses in front of each person. Leon silently finished one, the big dough quickly grabbed the red wine, tilted its head, poured it into the white wine, and downed it in one gulp.
Fiercely smashing the glass, the blood of the fighting nation awakened.
“Meow-la!”
Everyone: “???”
Was this cat just rolling its tongue?!
