Misu thought a pet-friendly restaurant would have all sorts of things little kittens could eat.
But the server flipped to a certain page of the menu, which only listed two types of canned food—one for cats and one for dogs. The portions looked barely enough for two bites, clearly just for amusing little kittens.
This was outrageous!
A furry little paw slapped down hard on the menu. Little Misu straightened his neck, glanced at his friends—cats as sturdy as small trucks—beside him, then glared disapprovingly at the server.
“Meow~”
How is this enough for all of us?
The server hadn’t expected these chubby little cats to be so clever, but he also didn’t dare serve them human food casually. If anything happened to them, it would be a big problem.
Politely, he asked them to wait a moment. Soon, a young, clean-cut alpha walked over.
“Oh, they really are little kittens.”
Xiao Qiong widened his eyes in surprise.
“Are our little friends unsatisfied with the menu?” The man smiled and reached out to pet the kitten’s head, but Misu dodged. Undeterred, he tried to stroke the kitten’s Tiramisu-colored fur, but the little one smoothly arched into a “U” shape.
Soft as water—touching it felt like not touching it at all.
Touch yet no touch.
It was no wonder the cats disliked Xiao Qiong. His pheromones carried a citrus scent, exactly like Xiao Yu, whom Misu had beaten up at the banquet.
Unwilling to give up, Xiao Qiong reached for the other three “mochi” cats.
The timidest orange-and-white cat flattened its ears but didn’t dare move, whimpering pitifully, “Awoo, boss, save us…!”
A sleek, jet-black furry paw stretched out and pressed down on the alpha’s hand.
Little Misu meowed firmly, “Sir, please show some respect.”
“We’ll pay, meow.” The paw steadily pushed a card forward. “Don’t ask for trouble.”
“A limited-edition black card?” Xiao Qiong picked it up and examined it under the light, his expression shifting to astonishment. “This is something you couldn’t even find lying on the ground in a wealthy neighborhood. You little ones must have quite the background.”
The kitten blinked its clear, glass-bead-like eyes and softly responded.
“Meow meow.”
Of course, the cat’s servant is very wealthy.
The boss-kitten, holding the limited-edition black card in its mouth to treat its friends, caused quite a stir in the restaurant, drawing many onlookers.
“This cat seems to understand what the boss is saying—it’s like it’s become a spirit!”
“I know this kitten—it was ahead of me in the postgraduate entrance exam interview.”
“Young master, show us what you’ve got!”
To avoid further commotion, Xiao Qiong smilingly dispersed the crowd and led the four little ones to a private cooking counter in the inner area. “This space has never been open to the public, but you are the most special guests I’ve ever encountered.”
“So—”
The man, smiling like a golden retriever, walked behind the counter, put on a chef’s hat, tied an apron, and meticulously washed his hands.
“As the owner, I’ll serve you personally today, preparing fresh dishes right in front of you. I hope this omakase meal will satisfy you all.”
The Japanese-style decor created an elegant, tranquil atmosphere.
Under the warm yellow light, the four kittens sitting in a row resembled four fluffy dandelions, their edges soft and fuzzy.
The scene was so dreamlike that Xiao Qiong, now transformed into a chef, felt almost dizzy with happiness. He instructed his assistant to bring in fresh ingredients.
The kiwi-colored kitten rested its elbow on the counter, listening to the stylish piano music, and slightly narrowed its eyes. Life was just like this—simple and peaceful, with a few close cat friends and a limited-edition black card.
The cow-patterned cat’s eyes widened. “Boss Su, what’s ‘oh-mah-kah-see’?”
The other two cats also looked over eagerly, thirsty for knowledge.
“This, meow…” Little Misu paused for a moment, the tip of its tail swaying slightly as inspiration struck. “It’s just as the name suggests!”
“It means he’ll bring delicious food to the cats, and it’ll be so good you’ll go ‘oh-oh-oh’ and ‘mommy!’ in excitement. If you eat something crispy, it goes ‘crisp-crisp,’ and if it’s something chewy, you’ll have to ‘slurp-slurp’ it up!”
The kittens suddenly understood.
“Boss, you’re so knowledgeable!”
“Boss is the most worldly cat I’ve ever met—so cool!”
“Like a mysterious, melancholic prince, countless kittens will go crazy for you…”
Since this meal had no fixed menu, Xiao Qiong looked up a kitten’s dietary needs and restrictions, removed all seasonings, and first served four small bowls of crab roe steamed eggs as an appetizer.
The big orange cat finished first, successfully whetting its appetite. It sniffed the empty bowl eagerly and let out a loud, urging meow at the chef.
“Meow—”
More! More!
Next came a dish of sea urchin hot dogs—paper-thin seaweed wrapped around three types of sea urchin, creating a substantial treat.
The orange-and-white and cow-patterned cats meowed in delight: “Oh-oh-oh! Mommy!”
Then, oysters topped with caviar.
The fresh, sweet flavor made the four kittens forget themselves. They tilted their heads, their tiny sharp teeth munching on the tender oyster meat with satisfying crunch-crunch and slurp-slurp sounds—crisp, smooth, and delicious!
“Crunch-crunch-crunch…”
“Slurp-slurp-slurp…”
The boss really didn’t lie—this is exactly what it means!
The little furballs feasted heartily, their pink tongues lapping up the matsutake mushroom and chicken broth as a perfect finale. They were so full they could hardly bear it, meow.
Little Misu let out a burp, wobbling unsteadily, its four paws struggling under the immense, indescribable weight.
“Meow~”
Owner, the check!
Xiao Qiong smiled as he placed the black card back into the kitten’s coin purse and zipped it up. “This meal is on me. You’re welcome to come back anytime.”
The chocolate-colored fluffball turned its head away, still disliking his citrus pheromones.
“Bzzz…!” The kitten solemnly bit the zipper, insisting on paying, its triangular ears flattening into airplane ears.
After some back-and-forth, the kitten finally granted Xiao Qiong some face and didn’t pay, meowing softly to indicate it would return another time.
Adhering to the principle of not leaving empty-handed and wanting to broaden their horizons, Little Misu found a free pet playground in the mall.
Inside a ball pit stood a small slide, surrounded by cat trees of various shapes and sizes.
It was the perfect spot for post-meal digestion.
Many pet owners were trying to coax their cats to play, but even with their sweetest pleas, they couldn’t get their “masters” to interact. One owner, practically squeaking with effort, called out, “Baby, baby, look at Mommy~!”
“Meow.” A polite voice chimed in.
The woman looked down and met a pair of wide, innocent, watery eyes. The kitten even placed its paws together neatly and covered them with its tail.
Opening its pink little mouth again, it let out a soft, drawn-out meow—
“Auntie, can this baby go first?”
This winding, coquettish act of cuteness directly stunned the pet cats. A Ragdoll cat that had been hogging the slide was immediately scooped up by its owner: “Oh my, whose baby are you? So tiny, and so special!”
Little Misu rubbed against the woman’s leg sweetly: “Meow~”
By human definitions, his breed is “cat that’ll get you locked up for life.”
The little furball tilted its head slightly and ordered the three stunned cats behind it: “Go!”
The Ragdoll cat squirmed and cried out, “Mom, this is a big villain! Don’t believe him!”
But with another turn of its head, the little one looked innocent and harmless again when facing the human.
With a rumbling crash, the small slide nearly burst under the weight of the three chubby cats as they successfully claimed the high ground.
“Heh heh heh…” The little round mouth revealed teeth like tiny demon horns. Misu strode past arrogantly and declared coldly, “Little Ragdoll, this is my turf now.”
Ragdoll: “…” Bad cat!
Having had their fill of fun, the four of them wobbled out of the mall, found a cat café, and stuffed themselves once more.
Misu specifically warned them never to enter the mall alone if he wasn’t around—some humans were mentally disturbed and could be very cruel to cats.
The cats nodded their heads vigorously, and only then did the little one feel reassured.
But just as they reached another street corner, the little furball’s tail and whiskers gradually drooped, its steps growing heavier and heavier. Its small, round face looked pitiful and helpless as it was forced to stop by the roadside to catch its breath for a while.
My belly is so bloated and uncomfortable……
……sob sob.
It had eaten too much in one go. Feeling dizzy and muddle-headed, it forced itself to keep walking.
The scene before its eyes grew increasingly blurry. Thump—the kitten bumped straight into a man’s ankle and, infuriated, looked up with a series of angry meows.
Five minutes earlier, Ji Yanxing had just walked out of the jewelry counter in the mall.
After embarrassing Misu yesterday, even though he hadn’t accompanied him back to his family home today, he’d specifically bought a necklace as an apology.
The alpha was preoccupied. He hadn’t received a single message from the spoiled brat all day, and the world seemed eerily silent. But when he took out his phone and scrolled through their chat history, he was surprised to find there was barely any conversation between them.
He couldn’t help but freeze.
Looking more carefully at each message, he realized most of them had been sent by him.
This situation was completely wrong.
Ji Yanxing put away his phone with a cold expression, deciding not to get too entangled with Misu. After all, theirs was a marriage of convenience without feelings—why overstep the boundaries?
Yet the jewelry bag in his hand felt overwhelmingly present, as if mocking him for trying to please the other like a dog, whether it was necessary or not.
What had once seemed like justified reasons now felt ambiguous.
Ji Yanxing took out the Baroque pearl necklace, his expression growing more and more complicated. He’d even specifically chosen a pearl shaped like a cat’s head, simply because he thought Misu resembled a pampered, prideful cat.
“Meow! Meow meow meow!” A milky, scolding voice rang out.
Ji Yanxing looked down and saw a kitten plump as a ball and only as big as a palm. Unexpectedly, as soon as the kitten saw him clearly, it turned and ran as if it had seen a ghost.
The road was crowded with vehicles, far too dangerous. The alpha didn’t want to meddle, but he also couldn’t stand by and watch an innocent little life get run over.
Misu ran and ran until it was suddenly lifted into the air.
“……Meow!?”
Help! qwq
The plump little body was softer and more solid than expected, still warm. Ji Yanxing curiously rubbed the kitten’s face, noticing its large, bright eyes in such a tiny face.
The man’s voice was cool and deep, paired with his handsome, expressionless face, making him quite intimidating.
“Why do you look so much like the spoiled brat?”
Upon hearing this, the kitten trembled, its fluffy little tail pressing tightly against its body, its two hind legs shaking uncontrollably.
This human… probably isn’t as smart as a cat, right!
If he found out that he was the cat and the cat was him, what would Ji Yanxing do to him, meow!?
The alpha’s handsome face leaned closer, his eyes narrowing dangerously, his brows filled with suspicion. “No.”
The kitten was so terrified it stopped breathing.
Ji Yanxing blurted out without context: “You look more like the child I had with the spoiled brat.”
Cat: “……”
The discomfort it had been holding back all this time could no longer be contained. A sudden tsunami erupted in its stomach, and it spewed spectacularly all over Ji Yanxing’s hand.
Ji Yanxing: “!!!”
