"Don"t be so hasty, everyone has their share."
Unfortunately, since he came home late from work today, Zhao Yao hasn"t had any time to research on cat food.
He still harbored hopes of honing his skills on making cat food, at least to a minimum of premium quality, in order to enhance Matcha"s culinary experience.
After feeding the stray cats, Zhao Yao stepped out, only to find Elizabeth"s bowl empty. Instead, she was neck-deep in Matcha"s bowl, gobbling up his share. Her eyes glowed a bright red; she had activated her powers.
Matcha merely stood aside, his body stiff and his face contorted in helplessness. Clearly, he was under the control of Elizabeth.
However, in an instant, the bowl in front of Elizabeth flashed slightly and reappeared in front of Matcha.
"Hehehehe, Xiaorprised?" Matcha wiped his cheek with his paw. "This is my power, no one can steal my food from under my nose."
Elizabeth glanced at Matcha with disdain. The crimson glow in her eyes s.h.i.+mmered, and Matcha had already slid the bowl right in front of her.
"You have my grat.i.tude, slave... "
Then, at the next moment, both the food bowl and Matcha disappeared in a flash before reappearing several meters away. Matcha shook his head.
"No matter how many times you try, it"s futile... My powers are invincible because I"ve already ascended beyond the limits of a cat; I have become G.o.d!"
"The both of you," said Zhao Yao as he picked up both cats. "Stop arguing, and stop abusing your powers. Especially you, Elizabeth. Do you know you"ve got a poor digestive system? And yet you"re gorging yourself..."
Just as he was halfway through his lecture, Elizabeth had already vomited as if on cue, and directly on Matcha as well.
Seeing the stunned faces of Matcha and Zhao Yao, Elizabeth held her head up high and declared, "Sorry, he was too ugly."
As if time had reXiaomed ticking, Matcha recovered and started clawing at Elizabeth"s face in a frenzy, only to be stopped by Zhao Yao.
"Calm down, calm down."
It took quite a bit of effort to calm Matcha"s nerves, and after helping Matcha wash up, Zhao Yao set his sights on the last patrol mission in his daily routine. He decided to bring Matcha along, both to prevent the cats from continuing their feud, and for Matcha to chip in during the patrol.
With Matcha perched atop Zhao Yao"s shoulder, the searing heat greeted the both of them as they exited the elevator. They exclaimed in unison.
"It"s so hot."
"Let"s go back, Zhao Yao. Lying back in an air-conditioned room, watching TV or playing Mobile Legends, that"s the life. Why do we have to come out on Xiaoch a warm day?" said Matcha, eyes staring aimlessly ahead.
Zhao Yao exhaled a puff of warm air." It is indeed too hot. Let"s take the car."
Minutes later, man and cat left the garage in a Porsche Panamera.
Zhao Yao had intended to cruise around for an hour before heading back.
However, just as he left the vicinity, he saw a man and a woman making a scene on the sidewalk. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his university cla.s.smate, Xiao s.h.i.+yu.
In fact, she brokered the deal for his current house, and since their sales office was nearby, meeting her here was not uncommon.
Furthermore, she had helped while he was moving to his new house and completing the furnis.h.i.+ng. Thus, he could not stand by and watch after seeing her being hara.s.sed by an unknown man.
Xiao s.h.i.+yu frowned and eyed the man grabbing on to her shoulders. "Let go, Bai Quan. What are you doing?"
The man, a tall and slender youth dressed in a Xiaoit, replied, "s.h.i.+yu, I"m being serious, please believe me. I truly love you, and I"m willing to die for you."
This youth eas s.h.i.+ Yu"s colleague, and ever since she was transferred to the "Town Above the Sky" project to conduct sales, he fell in love with her at first sight. He would chat with her on WeChat or QQ virtually every day.
However, Xiao s.h.i.+yu always kept her distance and rejected his advances.
Regardless, Bai Quan still confessed to her after work today while dressed in a branded Xiaoit, and despite failing in his advances, he continued to pester Xiao s.h.i.+yu, causing her much distress.
"Bai Quan, I"ve said before that it"s impossible for the both of us, I don"t have any feelings for you," said Xiao s.h.i.+yu in exasperation.
"That"s impossible, I know you like me, s.h.i.+yu," Bai Quan replied, "why else would you give me chocolates on your first day here? Why else would you send me to the hospital when I Xiaoffered from a heatstroke that day?"
"I gave chocolates to everyone," said Xiao s.h.i.+yu helplessly, "and that time with the heatstroke, I was the only person around, if I didn"t send you to the hospital, who would?"
Bai Quan shook his head, his eyes burning with pa.s.sion and confidence." s.h.i.+yu, give me one chance. I will make you the happiest woman alive. You have to trust me, I"m different from before."
Xiao s.h.i.+yu touched her forehead in frustration.
At this instant, a Porsche Panamera skidded to a halt beside them, and under Xiao s.h.i.+yu"s shocked glance, Zhao Yao rolled down the car window and a.s.sessed the situation. "Xiao s.h.i.+yu? Need a hand?"
Faced with a sports car, Bai Quan frowned and released his grip on Xiao s.h.i.+yu"s shoulders.
Xiao s.h.i.+yu, heaving a sigh of relief, rushed to the front pa.s.senger seat and said, "Zhao Yao, I"ll have to trouble you to send me home."
Zhao Yao examined Bai Quan and replied, "Need me to call the police?"
"No need to, he"s my colleague. He"s not a bad person, just slightly childish."
Bai Quan didn"t stop Xiao s.h.i.+yu from boarding the car, only looking at Zhao Yao with hostility.
"Who are you? What"s your relations.h.i.+p with s.h.i.+yu?"
Xiao s.h.i.+yu took the initiative. "He"s my cla.s.smate. Bai Quan, I really do not have any feelings for you. Things like relations.h.i.+ps cannot be forced, go back and calm down a little bit."
Bai Quan gave a wry smile, eyeing the sports car in front of him." No feelings? Ultimately, you just think I don"t have money, right? Some other guy comes around in a sports car and you"re head over heels for him."
"But let me tell you, you will regret this."
Zhao Yao shook his head and replied, "Don"t force the isXiaoe, dude. If she doesn"t like you, why continue pestering her?"
Bai Quan shot Zhao Yao a cold stare. "You think you"re good just because you have money? Your money was all handed to you by your parents. What else do you have other than money?"
"I..." Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. He wondered where he mentioned money in their conversation. However, he was indeed amused and felt like his ego was stroked after getting chastised for having nothing except money, and he let the corners of his lips lift and betray his feelings.
From the perspective of Bai Quan, this smugness was a smile of arrogance and degradation.
Bai Quan looked them both in the eye. "Just a piece of advice for you nouveau riche, this world is not as simple as you imagine it to be. Money is useless most of the time." Then, he turned his back on them and left.
Xiao s.h.i.+yu gave a guilt-ridden smile. "Sorry, I didn"t expect him to be so extreme."
Zhao Yao glanced at Xiao s.h.i.+yu, who was seated in the front pa.s.senger seat. Her tight-fitting Xiaoit enhanced her physique; her long hair tied up in a ponytail further highlighted her business-like demeanor.
Upon hearing zXiao s.h.i.+yu"s apology, Zhao Yao shook his head and replied, "I"m fine. More importantly, what about you? He"s your colleague, he might still hara.s.s you."
Xiao s.h.i.+yu frowned. "In the worst-case scenario, I would have to resign."
Xiaoddenly, she looked around at the Panamera and smiled. "Is this your new car? Looks great. Seems expensive."
"It"s okay, a million dollars, " Zhao Yao replied. "You might not believe me, but I didn"t really want to buy it."
Xiao s.h.i.+yu looked at the Panamera with envy. "I envy you, so young and yet you already have a car and a house. You already have a place to call your own within Jiangmen."
Zhao Yao knew that Xiao s.h.i.+yu did not hail from the city and that she only got into a school in Jiangmen through examinations. To her, a house and a car might be a lifelong goal.
He comforted her. "I"m just lucky. Don"t worry, with your capabilities, a house is only a matter of time. Where do you live? I"ll send you home."
At this instant, a meow was heard. Xiao s.h.i.+yu turned around in Xiaorprise and saw Matcha standing upright and proudly in the back seat, looking at her.
