Lu Chenyu spoke as he was about to throw the “beast” in his hands to the Little Brothers behind him, but he didn’t expect that this “beast” wouldn’t be thrown away.
Gu Cha used all four paws. Though dirty, the faintly pink pads of his feet clutched tightly at Lu Chenyu’s arm. His tiny body trembled, his eyes squeezed shut, and short quivers escaped his mouth.
“Meow—” Don’t throw Cha Cha.
Gu Cha’s dirty paws left black mud on the muscular arm. A flash of displeasure crossed Lu Chenyu’s eyes.
“Beast!”
Gu Cha was yanked forcefully away, and his small body was mercilessly tossed into the air. He screamed, but fortunately, his feline agility allowed him to land safely.
Lu Chenyu’s face darkened as he wiped the dirt off his arm, not glancing at Gu Cha. Behind Gu Cha, the zombies moved their stiff bodies, closing the distance between them and him.
Gu Cha was terrified. He ran with his short legs toward Lu Chenyu.
“Meow—” Gu Cha crouched before Lu Chenyu, looking up pitifully at the towering man.
Sensing the man’s disdain, he didn’t dare reach out to touch him. He only let out small cries.
The ugly zombies continued to approach. Gu Cha glanced at the creatures swinging their arms, drooling unconsciously, and shivered all over in fright.
He tentatively moved closer to Lu Chenyu but froze in place at the man’s cold, sharp gaze. The fear emanating from both sides made the already frightened Gu Cha feel sad, his round cat eyes filling with tears.
“Mm hmm.”
The little kitten sat down heavily on the ground, shedding two small tears, his eyes still fixed on the indifferent man.
Lu Chenyu was unexpectedly struck by the soft little voice. Growing up in the apocalypse, he thought he had misheard it. The destructive urge that had never been satisfied surged instantly.
He followed the voice and saw Gu Cha on the ground, looking sad.
Gu Cha’s eyes were full of tears. Even as a cat, he still cried easily. Through his blurred vision, he saw the man in front of him squat down. Then his fragile neck was lightly touched by a hand. The hand exerted no force, just lightly brushing the fur.
Gu Cha didn’t sense any danger and stared blankly at Lu Chenyu. With his mission target right in front of him, he naturally didn’t think of fleeing.
This lack of struggle greatly satisfied Lu Chenyu’s inner desire. He released his hand and pointed behind him. “Scared of them, right?”
Gu Cha nodded.
Lu Chenyu gave the Little Brothers a “scram” look. The poor Little Brothers were abandoned by their leader once again.
Gu Cha was picked up again and placed on the only small stool in the garage. Then he felt a cool sensation. Looking up, he saw Lu Chenyu holding a bottle of water, washing his dirty little body.
“So dirty, little beast.”
Gu Cha was unhappy. Why did this person always call him a beast? He wasn’t a beast!
“Meow meow meow meow!” I’m called Gu Cha!
“Oh? Still angry, huh?” Gu Cha’s glaring eyes piqued Lu Chenyu’s interest. This little beast had some intelligence?
While washing Gu Cha with disdain, he casually asked, “If I don’t call you little beast, what should I call you?”
Gu Cha lifted his chin and responded, “Meow meow.” Cha Cha.
Lu Chenyu paused, expressionless. “Fine, from now on I’ll call you Xiao Bai.”
The kitten immediately began protesting. Xiao Bai sounded horrible—it wasn’t even close to Cha Cha!
But his protest was clearly futile. Lu Chenyu looked at the restless kitten with a heavy gaze and applied a little pressure with his hand. “Don’t move.”
Gu Cha immediately quieted, letting out a few weak meows and crouching on the stool, no longer daring to make a fuss.
Lu Chenyu tilted his head expressionlessly. This beast really could understand human speech!
A pair of large hands silently stroked the clean, snow-white soft fur, eventually stopping at the slender neck. If the hand pressed, the breath under the palm could be cruelly snatched away.
“Meow.” Gu Cha’s wide-eyed, innocent face looked at the motionless Lu Chenyu. Seeing the hand, he unconsciously recalled the comfort when Gou Dashu stroked his chin. Bravely, he lowered his head and rubbed it against the back of Lu Chenyu’s hand.
Lu Chenyu’s body stiffened.
“Purr purr.” Gu Cha let out a satisfied sigh.
After rubbing enough, he lifted his face again, looking harmlessly at Lu Chenyu, completely unaware of how narrowly he had escaped danger.
Lu Chenyu stood up, mood complicated, and carried the little cat outside the garage.
Fine. If he ever discovered that this beast had any malicious intent, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill it.
……
The outside world was completely different from modern times. The devastated scenery filled Gu Cha’s eyes with wonder.
【Cha Cha, this is the apocalypse.】
Tong Tong reminded him.
【According to what Tong Tong just checked, the male lead’s fortune value in this world is different from the last Dimensional World. Here, “affection” equals “fortune value,” so Cha Cha must work hard to gain the male lead’s favor.】
Gu Cha nodded in understanding. But he recalled the previous Dimensional World and realized he couldn’t remember how fortune values were obtained. He curiously asked Tong Tong.
【Just… holding hands with the male lead…】
Tong Tong hesitated, not daring to say “kissing.”
Gu Cha made an “oh” sound and believed it without a doubt.
【Current affection is 1. Cha Cha, keep it up. Tong Tong has no energy and will leave for a while.】
As soon as the words finished, Gu Cha no longer heard anything in his mind.
Lu Chenyu stroked the cat again and again, nearly covering every inch of Gu Cha’s fur. Gu Cha was too weak to resist, only letting the man handle him.
When he reached the little butt, a thought suddenly flashed in Lu Chenyu’s mind.
He flipped the kitten over, exposing the belly, and then his gaze landed on…
Gu Cha watched Lu Chenyu’s actions curiously, following his eyes, and suddenly felt his cheeks burn!
“Awooo awooo—”
There’s a bad guy here!
Gu Cha’s displeased reaction caused a glint of amusement in Lu Chenyu’s eyes. Playfully, he said, “So Xiao Bai is a male cat, huh…”
Gu Cha struggled embarrassedly, trying to jump off the stool, but Lu Chenyu’s hands restrained him. His entire body was touched again and again by the “bad guy.”
