How Could a Kitten Spirit Have Any Bad Intentions? 53

Chapter 53

Moving was an exhausting process. Just packing took two days. Shao Sui contacted a moving company that evening and called the landlord to terminate the lease and get his deposit back.

The landlord walked around the apartment, inspecting everything meticulously, poking the sofa, lifting the mattress, practically using a magnifying glass to examine every nook and cranny, but in the end, he couldn’t find anything wrong, not even a single hair.

Finally, he said, “Xiao Shao, you’re a good tenant. But I really can’t tolerate pets, they make the apartment dirty, I don’t understand young people these days.”

Mimi opened his mouth, feeling indignant, Where am I dirty!?

Mimi wanted to retort but, after a moment of hesitation, coldly turned his head away.

Respect your elders, respect your elders, respect your elders!

After receiving his deposit, Shao Sui calmly handed over the keys, “A pet is a reflection of its owner. If you’re not hygienic, then your pet will be dirty.”

The landlord choked, “What are you even saying…”

Shao Sui didn’t say anything harsh. The landlord was just nosy and talkative, not a bad person, no need to argue and ruin his mood, they wouldn’t be seeing each other again anyway.

The apartment he had lived in for several years, it was finally time to say goodbye.

Shao Sui, carrying a backpack, his left hand pushing the suitcase the movers couldn’t take, his right hand holding Mimi’s, asked, “Unhappy?”

Mimi said honestly, “A little. Why do so many people say cats are dirty?”

The elevator arrived. Shao Sui stepped inside and pressed the button for the basement level, “Because some humans are stubborn and self-righteous, always judging others based on stereotypes without understanding them, don’t let their words affect you.”

Now that he had an ID card, Mimi was legally an adult and would likely encounter even more strange people and hurtful words, he couldn’t take them all to heart.

Shao Sui believed that in today’s society, the most important skill was indifference.

Indifference to things you didn’t agree with but weren’t illegal, not blindly criticizing others, and indifference to malicious attacks and insults.

Taking them to heart would only fuel his own anger and affect his mood.

Mimi mumbled, “Like those people online.”

Shao Sui chuckled, “Did you get into another online argument last night?”

Mimi’s eyes darted around, and he covered his ears.

I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you.

The elevator reached the basement level. His car was parked nearby, just a few steps to the trunk. After placing the suitcase inside, Shao Sui and Mimi got in.

Shao Sui didn’t say anything about Mimi arguing online. It was normal to get carried away when first experiencing the internet. And with Mimi’s personality and limited vocabulary, his arguments couldn’t be that fierce, his worst insult being “You’re trash!” Sometimes Shao Sui even had to help him retort in the middle of the night.

Shao Sui buckled Mimi’s seatbelt, chuckling, “I understand, our Mimi is just full of righteous indignation.”

In winter, the temperature difference between cats and humans was especially noticeable. Holding Mimi was like holding a large furnace, warming him from head to toe.

Wasn’t that “righteous indignation”?

Mimi, not understanding the joke, only grasped the literal meaning, nodding seriously, “I am very righteous!”

For a righteous and simple-minded little cat spirit, meowing at injustice was perfectly natural.

Shao Sui, unable to resist, adjusted the seat, which suddenly reclined. Mimi, startled, instinctively grabbed Shao Sui’s neck before falling backward.

“What… mmmph!”

Shao Sui leaned in, kissing Mimi breathless.

Mimi let out a muffled protest, “Why… suddenly kissing…”

Shao Sui swallowed Mimi’s words, their tongues tangling in a playful chase. After a while, his phone rang, and Shao Sui finally released Mimi’s pitiful lips, kissing his trembling eyelashes, feeling incredibly satisfied, “Kittens are born to be kissed to death by humans.”

That’s not true.

Mimi sat up, wiping his mouth seriously. Humans who loved cats deeply were like this, often entering a state of delirium.

“Yes, this is the owner of unit 21, I’m moving.” The moving company driver was on the other end of the line. The security guard at the new apartment complex needed to confirm his information before letting him in. “Just bring everything up to the fifth floor when you arrive, we’ll be there in about ten minutes.”

After hanging up, Shao Sui took out a pill and swallowed it.

Mimi asked casually, “Are vitamins tasty?”

“No.” Shao Sui dry-swallowed the pill. “I’m taking it because I’m calcium deficient.”

“Why are you always calcium deficient after kissing me?”

“Not because of kissing, because baby’s lips are sweet, the pill is bitter, it balances it out.” Shao Sui, his expression unchanged, continued driving while making excuses, “Every medicine is three parts poison, you can only take it if you’re sick.”

Mimi immediately sat up straight, “I know, only fools secretly eat medicine.”

Are vitamins considered medicine? The little cat spirit pondered all the way to their new apartment.

He soon had no time for such thoughts.

The new apartment complex was very nice, the apartment came with a designated parking space. After parking, they started unloading with the movers, until the living room was filled with boxes.

Although Shao Sui never let Mimi do any chores, Mimi, after a month of social training, understood he couldn’t treat the human as a servant. Housework should be shared, it was good for their relationship.

Mimi carried his toys and litter box, shuffling into the living room.

He called out, “Anything else?”

Shao Sui said from the entrance, “That’s all.”

The driver showed him the payment QR code, “Just transfer another three hundred yuan.”

After settling the payment, the driver left. Shao Sui closed the door and exhaled in relief.

“I’m exhausted.” Shao Sui sat down on a large cardboard box, stretching his legs. “Come here and give me a hug.”

Mimi threw himself into Shao Sui’s arms, nuzzling his stubble, “We’re living here from now on.”

Shao Sui hugged the cat, “Until our Mimi becomes rich and buys me a bigger house.”

“I’ll work hard!” Mimi, encouraged, said, “A thousand-square-meter villa, with a garden, a swimming pool, and several servants!”

Shao Sui suppressed a smile, “There are no ‘servants’ in the 21st century, only nannies and housekeepers.”

Mimi, quick to correct himself, said, “Then a few nannies… and I’ll be the housekeeper.”

Housekeeper, judging by the name, was a high-ranking position.

“Okay.” Shao Sui indulged him. “You can even be my master.”

Mimi was overjoyed. He doted on Shao Sui, and Shao Sui doted on him too.

Shao Sui released the soft cat spirit and started unpacking, planning to stay up all night to finish it, he couldn’t stand the mess. The apartment layout was nice, the living room seven meters wide, two bathrooms, and a small storage room beside the kitchen.

Mimi, sticking close to him, asked, “Can I make my nest here?”

It was small, enclosed, and seemed very safe.

Shao Sui said awkwardly, “This is for storing miscellaneous items.”

Mimi immediately abandoned the idea, “I’m not miscellaneous, I’m your baby.”

“Yes, you’re my super amazing baby.”

Shao Sui chatted mindlessly with Mimi while unpacking, feeling strangely motivated.

Mimi was responsible for assisting, and making demands.

He hinted repeatedly, “The beds in the two secondary bedrooms are so old.”

Shao Sui said, “Then let’s buy new ones?”

“We don’t need so many beds, let’s just throw them away.” Mimi tried to persuade him. “You don’t have any money left.”

After paying the down payment, there was only a little money left in his account. And Shao Sui had also bought some new furniture, like the bed in the master bedroom, it was better not to sleep on a used bed in a new apartment.

Shao Sui said, “I’ll have money after I receive my subsidy.”

“Do you have to spend all your money?” The Great Meow King criticized, “We shouldn’t be extravagant, we have to save money to live a good life.”

Mimi was diligently trying to prevent the risk of sleeping separately, not wanting to be apart from Shao Sui for even a moment.

Shao Sui agreed, “You’re right, I’ll listen to you.”

He had actually planned to turn the larger secondary bedroom into a study and the other into a private space for Mimi.

Having never had his own room growing up, Shao Sui was a bit fixated on giving Mimi his own space.

Mimi said, “Let’s give it to Grandma.”

Shao Sui paused, thinking it was a good idea. Three bedrooms were too many for them anyway, it could house his mother’s portrait for now.

However—

“Why are you still calling her Grandma?”

Having finished his elementary school curriculum, Mimi fully understood human kinship terms. His father’s mother was called Grandma, not some kind of deity.

But he still believed Grandma could send him messages in his dreams.

“You told me to call her that.”

Shao Sui said, “We were father and son then, so I told you to call her Grandma.”

Mimi was confused, what father and son? They were the Great Meow King and his owner at home, older and younger brother outside.

“We’re partners now, so you have to change how you address her—”

“Are we committing incest?”

They spoke simultaneously.

Shao Sui choked, “Incest usually refers to close relatives with blood ties, humans just like calling their pets ‘baby’ or ‘son,’ it’s not actual kinship.”

“That’s good.”

Mimi was relieved. When they were registering his household, Guan Jiu had said incest was immoral, punishable by death, so he had reluctantly registered under the orphanage’s collective household, still feeling regretful about it.

Shao Sui didn’t understand the little cat spirit’s worries, looking at the portrait and saying, “Just call her Mom like I do from now on.”

Mimi said without thinking, “Only children born from the same woman call her Mom, then aren’t we still—”

Shao Sui covered Mimi’s mouth, “Stop, what nonsense are you talking about? She’s my mother, you’re my partner, what else would you call her?”

“I’ll call her Mother-in-law.” Mimi said expectantly. “And you call me hubby.”

“…” See, the internet is ruining him.

Shao Sui put down what he was doing and went to the bathroom, “We’ll continue tomorrow, time for bed.”

The day they moved into their new apartment, Shao Sui didn’t buy anything celebratory, no apples, milk, or fireworks, the only “ceremony” being thoroughly ravishing the little cat spirit in their new bed that night, asking in a low voice while doing so, “How does hubby feel?”

Mimi wanted to curl up into a ball, but was constantly being straightened out by Shao Sui, his words swallowed with each thrust, reduced to broken syllables.

“N-no… don’t…”

Mimi moaned, his eyes teary, feeling like his backside was falling apart. He vaguely recalled that when he first transformed, Shao Sui had said anyone doing this to him was bullying him, and he should tell Shao Sui immediately.

But what if the one bullying him was Shao Sui himself? Who could he complain to?

Mimi could only burrow into Shao Sui’s arms, saying pitifully, “You’re so mean!”

“Mm-hmm.” Shao Sui’s mischievous side emerged, asking while playing with him, “But does baby still love me?”

Mimi could only whimper his affirmation.

“How much do you love me?”

“Even if… even if you’re mean, I still love you.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

A kitten’s love wasn’t fleeting, a kitten would never betray its human.

But humans were truly insecure. Mimi decided to tell Shao Sui “I love you” every day from now on.

Mimi’s love was unconditional.

Whether living under a bridge or in a villa, whether poor or rich, Mimi would always love Shao Sui.

The clock on the wall struck midnight, ushering in a new day.

“Shao Sui, I really, really love you…” Mimi, his body trembling from being ravished, still insisted on expressing his love fully, “I love you even more today than yesterday.”

Then he tightly shut his mouth, preventing any more love from spilling out.

He couldn’t express too much love at once; he had to spread it out over many days to prevent the human from becoming too arrogant.
