How Could a Kitten Spirit Have Any Bad Intentions? 63

Chapter 63

Side Story 6 (Part 2/3)

Mimi pressed his face against the window, “I’m so close to the clouds!”

“Yes, but we can’t open the window.”

“I’m not stupid, there’s no button to open the window.” Mimi touched the clouds through the thick glass. “They look like cotton candy, it must be very comfortable to walk on them.”

Shao Sui, a ruthless realist, said, “Walking on them would earn you a ‘Falling to Your Death From Ten Thousand Feet’ experience.”

Mimi turned around, cupped Shao Sui’s face, and made a zipping motion with his fingers, “Please be quiet now, human.”

Shao Sui obediently closed his mouth, playing the mute.

“The sunlight is making the clouds in the distance golden, so beautiful, like a desert at sunset!” Mimi wanted to take a picture, but then remembered his phone was turned off, becoming slightly anxious.
He hadn’t turned on airplane mode before turning it off, would turning it on now affect the plane?

Shao Sui chuckled inwardly, Mimi would definitely get extra points for his metaphors if he was writing a middle school essay. He took a camera out of his bag and nudged Mimi’s hand.

“This is… a camera?” Mimi took it, delighted, “When did you buy this?”

Shao Sui looked at the cat, silent.

Mimi, a cat who hadn’t seen much of the world, didn’t know how to use a camera. He looked back at Shao Sui for help, but the human remained indifferent, no intention of assisting him.

“I can’t even search online now…” Mimi was anxious, the golden clouds in the distance were disappearing.

He frantically snuggled up to Shao Sui, kissing his cheek, his eyes, his forehead, then finally, in desperation, his lips, a series of quick, firm pecks, “The zipper’s open now, you can talk!”

Shao Sui finally burst out laughing. Thankfully, the seats beside them were empty, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to tease the cat like this.

“This button, this one, then this one, and that’s it,” he demonstrated.

Mimi took a picture, but it was blurry when he looked at it, “Why?”

“Probably out of focus.”

Shao Sui wrapped his arms around Mimi from behind and guided him.

Mimi, looking at the picture, said tactfully, “Yours is also a bit blurry, is the camera not very good?”

Shao Sui responded with a grave “mm-hmm,” readily shifting the blame, “I couldn’t afford a good one.”

He had just bought this camera recently, thinking they would need to take pictures, and the photographers at tourist spots were expensive and not always available.
And this was also Shao Sui’s first time using a camera, even after reading the manual, he was still a bit confused.

Mimi, however, had a knack for it, quickly mastering the basic functions after understanding the controls, snapping pictures of the clouds outside.

“That cloud over there looks like popcorn, golden and fluffy.”

Mimi was very satisfied with his popcorn-cloud masterpiece, believing the blurry pictures weren’t entirely the camera’s fault.

After over two hours of flying, Mimi, despite his lack of sleep last night, was still full of energy, constantly taking pictures. Shao Sui, fighting sleep, watched Mimi’s profile, responding to his excited chatter, his heart filled with warmth.
Being with the little cat spirit, even just sitting quietly, felt like bliss.

His only complaint was that the airplane meal was terrible. Mimi took a few bites and pushed it away, saying politely, “I’m not hungry.”

I’m not hungry or it’s very healthy, in kitten language, meant it’s disgusting.

After the plane landed, Shao Sui, who had dozed off, was woken by Mimi. They only had one backpack as carry-on luggage, which Shao Sui slung over his shoulder, then he took Mimi’s hand and led him out.
A wave of heat hit them, a stark contrast to the cold back home.

“So hot.”

“Give me your jacket.” Shao Sui pulled Mimi aside. “We’ll change into lighter clothes when we get to the hotel.”

“Then I’ll get the suitcase.” Mimi knew they had to share the workload.

“Okay.”

Half an hour later, Mimi was sitting on the suitcase, holding his jacket, being pulled along by Shao Sui.

Mimi instructed, “People in front, please make way!”

Shao Sui wanted to hide his face with a mask and sunglasses. Mimi, having seen a child sitting on their parent’s suitcase, wanted to do the same, although he didn’t say it out loud, his longing gaze was evident.
What could Shao Sui do? Indulge him, of course.

But outsiders didn’t know Mimi was a kitten spirit who hadn’t had a childhood, they just saw two grown men, the scene attracting stares.

Only after they got into the car did Mimi reluctantly get off the suitcase and sit in the passenger seat. This was a car Shao Sui had rented in advance, parked near the airport for convenience, no need to hail a taxi and risk being overcharged.

“Is the hotel by the beach?”

“It’s supposed to have an ocean view.” Shao Sui followed the navigation.

He hadn’t chosen a budget hotel this time, over a thousand yuan a night, not exactly luxurious, but not cheap either. After arriving, he felt it was worth it, the environment nice, the beach nearby.
The room was also spacious and odorless,

“So comfortable.” Mimi enjoyed the salty sea breeze.

“Let’s unpack, have something to eat, and go to bed early, so we have energy to play tomorrow.”

“I have plenty of energy.”

“Then we’ll…” Shao Sui opened his laptop and showed Mimi a slideshow he made, travel tips, pictures, and tourist reviews.

“We’ll be here for a week, these are the must-do activities, this section is optional, we can do them if you’re interested.”

Mimi, boneless, draped himself over Shao Sui’s back, tilting his head to watch.

“I’m afraid of water, can we skip the diving and jet skiing?”

“Of course.” Shao Sui leaned back, his cheek brushing against Mimi’s warm face. “But most activities here involve water.”

“Then I’ll look at the others first before deciding.”
“No problem, you change your clothes, I’ll put on the bedsheets.”

Shao Sui’s OCD wasn’t as severe as before, but he was still cautious when traveling, even though this hotel seemed quite clean. He disinfected everything he could see and put a disposable toilet seat cover on, then when he came out, he saw a smooth, fair back.

Shao Sui asked casually, “What are you doing?”

“This outfit is strange.” Mimi turned around, holding the straps and looking down. “Is this how you wear it?”

Mimi was wearing overalls.
Common knowledge dictated wearing a shirt underneath overalls, but Mimi didn’t know this, his upper body bare, his nipples faintly visible, only two thin straps on his back, his butt crack peeking out with every movement.

Shao Sui swore he hadn’t had any ulterior motives when buying these overalls, he just thought Mimi would look sunny and handsome in them.
Now…

“Wear this at night.” Shao Sui said with a straight face, “Wear something else when we go out.”

Mimi asked, confused, “Are these pajamas?”

Shao Sui: “Pre-sleep clothes.”

Mimi took them off and changed into a regular outfit.
Humans are so troublesome, besides outside clothes, home clothes, and pajamas, there are also pre-sleep clothes, all that changing wastes so much time.
The little cat spirit was completely unaware that the human was already thinking about how to ravage him that night.

It was already late after dinner. They skipped the other activities and just strolled along the pedestrian street, buying a few souvenirs.

“This is for Jiaojiao, this is for He Yonggan, this is for…”

“What about me?” Shao Sui, feeling neglected, asked sourly.

“I bought you a gold lock, these are just cheap trinkets.” Mimi was good at coaxing him. “And you and your cat form both belong to me, buying you gifts is just spending your own money, no sincerity.”

Logically sound, irrefutable.

Mimi added, making a promise, “I’ll buy you better gifts when I have a job.”

Shao Sui pinched Mimi’s cheek, completely appeased.

The pedestrian street wasn’t very interesting, many things overpriced in Shao Sui’s opinion, but for Mimi, on his first trip, everything was fascinating.
And Mimi was a considerate cat, mostly buying cheap but useless trinkets.

He looked at the seashells, three for ten yuan, thinking it was a good deal, “So pretty…”

Shao Sui couldn’t take it anymore, chuckling, “Smell them.”

Just as Mimi was about to do so, the vendor stopped him, “If you’re not buying, move along, don’t cause trouble.”

Mimi, walking away, was still puzzled, “Why wouldn’t he let me smell them?”

“Because unprocessed seashells smell bad.” Shao Sui said. “If you like them, we can collect them ourselves at the beach.”

“For free?”
“For free.”

That evening, they went to the beach to collect seashells. Mimi was incredibly excited, running around, picking up every pretty seashell he saw.
At this rate, they would be suffocated by the smell when they cleaned them.

“Look, this seashell is colorful!” Mimi said, shining his phone’s flashlight.

“What are you planning to do with so many?”

“Start a collection!”

“That won’t do.” Shao Sui said deliberately. “If you collect too many, the hermit crabs will be homeless.”

Mimi was confused, “Hermit crabs live in seashells?”

Shao Sui responded with an “mm-hmm,” “Seashells are their homes.”

Mimi thought for a moment, “Then can I take the hermit crabs home too?”

“Hermit crabs can’t get rabies shots, they can’t fly on a plane.”

“Then okay, I’ll just keep them for now.”

By the shimmering ocean, the little cat spirit walked ahead, collecting seashells, while the human followed, enjoying the sea breeze, occasionally taking pictures of Mimi.
In the end, Mimi took a picture with all the seashells, then carefully selected a dozen to keep, returning the rest to the ocean.

Mimi, feeling slightly heartbroken, kept muttering, “This is all to give the hermit crabs a home, it’s wrong to steal other crabs’ houses, if humans took away all the cardboard boxes, kittens would also be homeless…”

Back at the hotel, Mimi neatly arranged the slippery seashells on the balcony table, hoping the wind would carry away the fishy smell.

He had a wonderful idea, “I want to make a bracelet.”

“You can,” Shao Sui said. “But our priority is to shower, there are lots of germs outside.”

He dragged the cat into the bathroom, scrubbed him clean, then put him in overalls and tossed him onto the bed.
The teary-eyed kitten, on his back, his paws in the air, finally understood, “So you wanted to… do me in overalls?”
The straightforward Mimi was immediately met with another round of ravishing, the straps of the overalls rubbing against his chest, a tingling pleasure spreading through his body with every thrust.
But there were other activities planned for the next day, so Shao Sui didn’t go too far.

The seven-day itinerary wasn’t packed; Shao Sui didn’t want Mimi to find traveling tiring. Today’s goal was to get acquainted with the ocean, and then go tide pooling at night.

Mimi, wearing the swimming trunks Shao Sui bought him, lay on the beach chair on the balcony: “What are you putting on me?”

“Sunscreen, the UV rays are strong here, you’ll get sunburnt.”

“Okay.” Mimi hugged a pillow. “But can you stop touching me? I’m already… feeling it.”

“…” Shao Sui suppressed a smile. “Little slutty cat.”

Mimi sniffed his arm, “I don’t smell slutty.”

The kitten was still so innocent.

Until Shao Sui was forced onto his stomach, Mimi rubbing his fingers all over him while applying sunscreen. Shao Sui, unable to take it anymore, grabbed Mimi’s hand, only to be told in retaliation, “Rubbing me while applying sunscreen, you little pervert.”

“…” The world has truly turned upside down.

After spanking Mimi thoroughly, Shao Sui was finally satisfied.
The little cat spirit, though enjoying the spanking, was still indignant. “You’re being a hypocrite! You’re being unreasonable!”

“I am unreasonable.”

“You! When you get old, I’ll…”

Shao Sui thought he would say he would pull out his oxygen tube when he was old, never expecting Mimi, after a moment of hesitation, to say, “When you get old, I’ll spank your butt! Every day! Until it blooms!”

“Then I have to take advantage of my youth and spank you enough…” Shao Sui swatted him a few more times, then couldn’t resist kissing Mimi’s waist.

Mimi, struggling to get up, said coldly, “You like kissing sunscreen? Then let me apply it to your mouth.”

Shao Sui quickly backed away, only to have Mimi throw himself into his arms, pinning him down and applying sunscreen to his lips.

“Okay, okay, let’s go.” Shao Sui surrendered.

“Apologize!”
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have called Mimi Da Wang slutty.”

Mimi felt it was still wrong, as if being insulted again.

“Say you’re the slutty one.”
“You’re the slutty one.”

“?” Mimi, exasperated, demanded, “Say ‘I’m slutty’.”

“Fine, fine, I’m slutty.”

Mimi, unable to win verbally, changed Shao Sui’s contact name to “Hypocritical Little Pervert!!!”

Shao Sui, oblivious, just thought his cat was adorable, cute when arguing, cute when angry, cute no matter what.

The beach was crowded. Mimi walked barefoot for a while, then, feeling strange, put his shoes back on, asking with concern, “If everyone walked barefoot on the beach, wouldn’t athlete’s foot spread easily?”

Shao Sui shuddered at the question.

“Let’s keep our shoes on.”

That day, Mimi was like a child let loose, wanting to try everything, yet also afraid of the water, needing to be coaxed, his hand held, or even carried into the ocean.
Shao Sui was like a parent, his gaze never leaving Mimi, afraid he would get lost, their hands glued together almost constantly.

The beach was too crowded, they could easily get separated by the waves.

A child nearby laughed at them, “You’re so big and still afraid of water, look at me!”

Mimi, not one to back down, said, “I’m just being cautious, you’re being reckless.”

“Whatever.” The kid scoffed and swam away quickly.

“I’ll be brave soon.” Mimi assured Shao Sui.

He cautiously walked into slightly deeper water, then a small wave hit him, and he yelped, throwing himself into Shao Sui’s arms.

Shao Sui, enjoying the embrace, still couldn’t resist teasing him, “So many people watching, aren’t you embarrassed?”

Actually, no one was watching, everyone busy with their own companions, their children, their friends, laughter filling the air, some even engaging in water gun fights.

“Want to join them?”

“That’s for children.”

“There are some adults too.” Shao Sui comforted him. “And kittens are also babies.”

Encouraged, Mimi joined the water gun fight. He quickly forgot his fear, letting the waves wash over him.
Shao Sui even rented a lifebuoy for safety.

Mimi laughed heartily, and Shao Sui watched him, acting as a human shield against the waves.

“You’re cheating!” The children yelled.

Mimi pretended not to hear them.

In the evening, Shao Sui carried Mimi out of the ocean and back towards the hotel.
He was exhausted from playing, feeling dizzy and lightheaded as soon as he stepped onto the shore. A nearby tourist said he had been in the water for too long.

The little cat spirit, feeling embarrassed, buried his face in Shao Sui’s shoulder.

When someone asked for Shao Sui’s contact information, he raised his head warily and declared, “This is my wife.”

The passerby quickly apologized, “Sorry, I thought you were brothers.”

Mimi suddenly thought, dogs needed dog tags, humans also needed human tags, engraved with “Mimi’s wife,” and their contact information below, then no one would try to steal him.

Shao Sui bounced the cat on his back slightly, “Wife?”

“Yes,” Mimi said cleverly. “I’m your wife, and you’re also my wife.”

“Okay.”

“I’ll call you ‘wife’ from now on, Guan Jiu said calling you by your name is too formal, and you don’t have a nickname.”

“Then you can call me ‘hubby’.”

“You call me first, then I’ll call you.”

“Hubby?”

“Yes.” Mimi, after replying, pretended to be dead. “I’m so tired, wife, any more activities tonight?”

Shao Sui chuckled, “The activity is stir-frying and eating this cat.”

Mimi, clinging to Shao Sui’s back, said, “So much seafood, and you want to eat a cat?”

“Cats are the most delicious.”

“You can’t eat them, you’ll go to jail.” The kitten tugged on Shao Sui’s hair.

“Eating cat meat isn’t illegal,” Shao Sui said, making a dark joke.

“Why isn’t it illegal!? A kitten’s life is also precious.” Mimi sat up straight and raised his fist. “I’ll study hard and become a judge, sentencing all cat-eaters to prison!”

Shao Sui encouraged him, “Great ambition! Just improve your scores by thirty points in every subject, and you’ll have a chance of getting into a good high school.”

Mimi froze, slumping back onto Shao Sui’s back, changing the subject, “The ocean is so beautiful.”

The setting sun painted the ocean surface gold, along with the clouds in the distance. The sea breeze blew gently, the waves crashed, the sand beneath his feet soft, warm seawater occasionally washing over his ankles, the soft little cat spirit on his back.
