The antagonist urged Yu Tong to walk around the bed a few times, and Yu Tong gradually realized what’s wrong.
Yun Mingchen seemed so anxious. Could it be that he thought his hind legs were broken by the middle-aged man from earlier?
Yu Tong shared his speculation with the system.
8102 pondered for a moment, 【Are you sure?】
Yu Tong shook his hind paw, ‘Yun Mingchen has been death-staring my right hind paw, and that uncle was squeezing this paw earlier.’
【Worthy to be the villain, to always think such dark thoughts.】
After carefully observing the antagonist’s reactions, Yu Tong felt it might not be because he’s dark, but rather because of a similar experience from before.
After confirming that the little cat was walking normally, Yun Mingchen put him back in his nest and returned to meditating on the bed.
He was practicing so seriously, Yu Tong didn’t want to disturb him.
The system mentioned that there was a shopping festival going on, with promotional activities in the store.
Yu Tong couldn’t perform any tasks in his current state, and even if the antagonist was willing to listen to a little cat, he wouldn’t understand what he was meowing about anyway.
Tonight, it planned to visit the mall to see if there were any items that could reduce the difficulty of his task.
The system took leave to go shopping, and Yu Tong, as a kitten, lay pondering inside his cardboard box.
When the middle-aged man and his group entered the bedroom, Yun Mingchen displayed clear signs of resistance.
He became irritable, anxious, and exhibited a strong inclination towards aggression.
Although Yu Tong knew it wasn’t good to make such associations, seeing his reaction subconsciously reminded him of the small dog his family had when he was five or six years old.
It was a small male dog, very tiny and thin. Due to malnutrition and never having been bathed, its skin was seriously moulted, and its body was dirty and smelly.
The family bought and brought it home intending to use it to guard the house. Except for little Yu Tong, no one liked it.
The dog was usually tied up in the yard, eating leftovers. In the summer, it quenched its thirst by chewing on watermelon rinds, and in the winter, it licked snow for water
Perhaps unable to endure a life of hunger and exposure to harsh conditions, or maybe not wanting to be tethered forever, chained up forever in the yard, it escaped.
One day, during a heavy snowfall, little Yu Tong heard the dog whimpering in the yard.
Thinking it was crying from being too cold, he secretly unlocked its chains to bring it inside. Seizing the opportunity, the dog bit him and escaped from his embrace.
The next morning, Yu Tong was awakened by the dog’s cries. The escaped dog was caught by his parents and beaten in the yard.
Yu Tong was just a child who knew how to play with mud, and had no say in matters at home. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t stop what was happening.

The parents beat the dog from morning until noon, leaving blood all over the ground, and the small dog lay on the ground unable to get up.

During summer vacation, when he brought home a small bag of dog biscuits from the county’s pet market, there was already a new dog in the yard.
His parents said the previous dog didn’t behave well and always barked and bit people, so they sold it to a dog meat dealer.
As Yu Tong pondered, he tilted his head and stared at Yun Mingchen.
The antagonist’s reaction to the middle-aged man did seem a bit like that of his family’s small dog.
However, the female photographer who came in with them addressed Yun Mingchen as “Young Master Yun” and called the middle-aged man “Uncle Liu.”
From the way they spoke and their attitudes, Uncle Liu didn’t seem to be a family member of the antagonist.
He might be the antagonist’s teacher or relative, or perhaps just a servant highly regarded by Young Master Yun. His status was lower than Young Master Yun; he didn’t have the qualifications to beat him.
So why did Yun Mingchen react so strongly? It was like he had experienced trauma before and had a stress reaction.
Yu Tong had read many online novels, and following the general rule in those stories, handsome antagonists either had lofty ideals or a pitiful childhood.
In the original text, every time Yun Mingchen appeared, he just seemed to be provoking the male lead, with no apparent grand ideals.
Considering the previous situations, the root cause of his twisted personality and derailment into becoming a villain was likely a tragic childhood.
Yu Tong believed that understanding Yun Mingchen better was crucial to helping him unravel his inner conflicts. Once he stepped out of the shadows of his childhood, he might turn into a genuinely kind and upright person.
With a rough direction in mind, Yu Tong crawled out of the cardboard box, ready to explore the antagonist’s bedroom.
————
Hearing the movement, Yun Mingchen, who was meditating on the bed with closed eyes, opened his eyes and glanced over.
The little kitten swayed its tail as it roamed around the room, quickly becoming interested in the backpack placed on the chair. It sat on the floor, lifting its head and twisting its body, as if preparing to pounce.
With the preparation phase over, the little cat leaped with force, jumping five centimeters in place, and accidentally bumped its head into the chair leg.
Despite the active pain-blocking mechanism, Yu Tong still felt a bit dazed on impact.
As he lay on the ground, covering his head, Yun Mingchen, who had been quietly meditating all along, suddenly chuckled.
Yu Tong turned his head and saw a handsome man with waist-length ink-black hair exuding a gentle and refined temperament. He was leaning on one hand, looking at him with a faint smile.
The moonlight streamed through the window, casting a cool and unattainable aura over him, making him look like a celestial being from a fairytale.
As Yu Tong marveled at how good-looking the antagonist was, Yun Mingchen’s expression suddenly became particularly arrogant.
He casually picked up a piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at Yu Tong’s feet. He smirked strangely and said, “What are you looking at, you stupid cat, did that bump make you go dumb?”
Yu Tong: ……
“I remember a mother cat usually gives birth to several kittens at once. Why are you alone? Where are your mother and siblings? Do they not want you anymore?”
Yu Tong: ……
A perfectly handsome man, but he just had to open his mouth like that?
————
When the system returned from its shopping trip, Yu Tong was hiding inside his nest sulking.
What was originally an exceptionally pure and cute face was now distorted with anger.
Looking at the torn pieces of toilet paper and the paper box covered with scratch marks, the system asked in surprise, 【Little Yu, are you adapting well to your role as a little cat?】
Yu Tong lay on his side in the nest with a vacant look in his eyes. ‘Are you talking about those things on the box? Yun Mingchen said I’m a motherless little cat, grabbed my paw, and pressed it onto the paper box, telling me to learn to sharpen my claws with him.’
‘If I don’t scratch, he keeps nagging in my ear. Sometimes he says nobody wants me, sometimes he calls me a stupid cat. I had no choice. I could only start scratching.’
To express its sympathies, the system had to resist laughing out loud.
Yu Tong looked at the paper box with a sense of despair. ‘After that, he poured cat litter for me and pressed me into it to teach me how to use it. He also gave me a name, Dogshit, with the nickname 'Xixi'.
Then he squatted beside me, repeatedly calling me Dogshit, trying to make me remember this name. Damn it, I……I really want to sew his mouth shut.’
Human joys and sorrows did resonate with the system, which wasn’t even human. There was no way for it to fully grasp the host’s sadness.
It was trying to hold back laughter when Yun Mingchen, with an unparalleled handsome face, appeared again above the paper box.
He poked the head of the little calico cat with a tooth-grinding stick. “Dogshit? Xixi? Meow.”
Yu Tong ignored him, and Yun Mingchen seemed a bit disappointed.
The original text mainly presented the story from the male lead’s perspective. The male lead always had an impression that the Yun family’s young master was a genius.
He should have had a bright future, but unfortunately, he wasted his talent by not focusing on the right things.
Initially, Yu Tong had planned to wait until the antagonist fell asleep and then gracefully leap onto the bed to get closer to him.
Even if he couldn’t stand the antagonist’s mouth and personality, he wouldn’t openly show it.
As an excellent worker, he was fully capable of separating personal feelings from work.
However, Yun Mingchen spent the entire night meditating and showed no intention of sleeping.
He found the cat dirty and didn’t allow it onto his bed.
With the ordered items from the system yet to be delivered and nothing else to do, Yu Tong’s soul entered the system space and began idly chatting with it.
When 8102 brought up the matter of Brother Chen, it asked how they knew each other.
Yu Tong mentioned that they were childhood friends and had known each other for a long time. He couldn’t remember exactly when they first met due to the lengthy duration of their friendship.
【Then why do you think he wanted to kill you?】
‘I don’t know. We’ve always had a good relationship. Who knows why he suddenly went crazy and stabbed me like he was avenging his father’s murder.’
【I noticed in your profile that you’re gay. Could it be that the fact of you being gay was revealed, and Brother Chen happened to be homophobic?】
‘No way, he’s gay too. When we were drinking before, he told me he was gay. He even said he was a 0 and told me not to be afraid of him or feel uncomfortable.’
The system, like a headless chicken, was frantically zooming around him.
【Hey hey, little Yu, you don’t feel anything for your Brother Chen at all?】
‘No, when I was younger, I saw him as an older brother. When I grew up and wanted to start dating, he already had a boyfriend. Every night, he’d be chatting on WeChat with his little boyfriend, all secretive. Even though we were close, he never introduced his partner to me or anything.’
‘It’s strange when you think about it. We spend every day together, but I’ve never seen him arrange to meet his boyfriend. They never have video or voice calls either, just messaging via chat. But whatever, he’s always been weird in the way he talks and acts, and I’ve gotten used to it.’
After a day of turmoil, Yu Tong was exhausted and sleepy.
His eyelids grew heavier, and his consciousness became increasingly blurry.
The system, who loved to eat watermelon seeds, kept asking about his past with Brother Chen. Listening to its mechanical chatter, Yu Tong gradually fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, the system suddenly shook him vigorously. 【Little Yu! Little Yu, wake up!】
Yu Tong opened his eyes drowsily, poking his head out of the paper box.
Outside the window, it was pitch-black, and it was just past 3 in the morning.
Yun Mingchen continued meditating, but in the room, two crimson monsters appeared.
The creatures seemingly resembled skinned cats and dogs. Their mouths were filled with sharp teeth, with a foul odor emanating from their bodies. At this moment, they were crouched by the bed, trembling in fear.
Yun Mingchen no longer had the childish and mischievous look he had before. He sat cross-legged, his eyes coldly fixed on the monsters before him.
“Two bodies were found in the woods by a student, and the situation of monsters attacking students has caused a stir in the school.”
He lightly tapped his knee with his fingertip, his voice growing colder, “You dogshit things, do you even need me to teach you how to erase all traces of a corpse?”
Yu Tong, who was eavesdropping: ……
Why did he call everyone dogshit?
Poor Yu Tong, doesn’t even have his own special nickname.
the he kill someone?
That’s your focus Yu Tong ??? The name ??? Lol
Litte Yu isn’t the fact that the antagonist ordered the monsters to kill 2 ppl more important??? 😩
