After I Flopped on My CrushCh35 - Cat Owner

Editor: MinMin

Eight days after the Lunar New Year, Bai Xi was back at work. There was not much change in the office after a week-long break, except for a certain individual who gained two kilograms of weight. r4iZRt

Other than that, the only news was that a female colleague got married during the Spring Festival.

Everyone expressed warm congratulations and cheered for the newly bride and wife.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The married colleague, Bai Xuan, was regarded as a veteran employee in their department. She was blushing from everyone’s enthusiasm, and her happy mood stayed as she was proud of being a newlywed.

The couple got married while traveling. There was no wedding at all, so there was no banquet to invite everyone. However, she specially bought souvenirs and wedding candies and distributed them to everyone in the office. T8rv9I

She and her husband jumped to their honeymoon tour right away, they did not have an actual wedding ceremony and did not prepare or invite everyone to a feast. But she did bring back souvenirs and wedding candy to the office for everyone.

Bai Xi naturally got his share.

He bumped his coffee mug with Bai Xuan’s and said with a smile, “Congratulations.”

He knew that Bai Xuan and her husband were college sweethearts and it took them many years to finally decide to get a marriage licence. Their relationship had remained firm and strong.

Bai Xuan beamed. “Thanks.”

Then she stuffed a wedding candy into Bai Xi’s hand.

She joked, “We are already an old married couple just without the legal document. Tying the knot is nothing new to us. Mr. Bai, how about you? When can I eat your wedding candy?”

Almost the entire office knew that Bai Xi got himself an outstanding boyfriend. It was not that Bai Xi was one to show off, but that Qi Xun sent him a light afternoon meal every few days, and evening snack during overtime. Even the other office workers benefited from this. MXsJVK

After gaining the benefit, everyone expressed high appreciation for Bai Xi’s boyfriend and agreed he was a once-in-a-lifetime great man.

Bai Xi smiled.

He leaned against the window. In the early spring sun, his eyelashes looked as if they were reddish gold. He wore a loose sweater that revealed his long neck and collarbone, matched with a pair of jeans, and formed a casual yet good-looking combination.

“It is still too early to say.” He answered. “We have only been together for a few months. Even dating at eight times the speed would not be as fast.” FUpQD2

Bai Xuan smiled back.

Of course, she was only joking, but she studied Bai Xi under a new light.

She did not notice it before but now, she found that unknowingly, Bai Xi’s temperament started to change.

Bai Xi has always been a person with a very clean temperament, and because of his appearance, he always has a youthful look, but now she was surprised to find that Bai Xi had a kind of lazy sexiness in him, which was casual but very alluring. TzEHWn

He had always been an upstanding person, and because of his appearance, he always had a youthful aura. But she was surprised to find that the aura now included a sort of lazy sexiness, vague yet very attractive.

If she must describe this in words, it was like a burgeoning flower bud on the branch that suddenly blossomed after days of spring rain.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Bai Xuan took a sip of coffee. Of course she did not say that outloud. She just smiled at Bai Xi while thinking how great it is to be young again, glittering from the moisture of love.

Another week had passed. uxFrwy

When Bai Xi got off work, he noticed several ladies in his department were gathered around, holding what seemed to be a box and chattering. He did not know what they were chit-chatting about.

He walked over with his bag and asked, “What is wrong? It is already after work, yet you guys are still around?”

I saw that what these girls were holding was indeed a box, with a large towel inside. Lying there were several soft kittens, only the size of a palm. They looked like they had just been born, and they were quite clean. It didn’t look like they were A wild cat, as if it had been thrown away.

That was his final speculation. He did not reach out to pet them, only closely observing them. DJVtzL

He asked, “You guys found them?”

A girl called You You said, “I found them on my way to work this morning. They were already in the box. I think they are abandoned by someone. Because I still have to work, I asked the convenience store owner next door to watch them for the day.”

He looked down at the kittens. They seem to be very friendly and well-behaved. Not making too much fuss or noise, just delicately meowed a few times.

“You plan to adopt them?” He asked. SUAdxH

The ladies sighed. “Out of all of us, only one.”

“You You’s apartment does not allow pets. Zhang Xiao already has two cats so she cannot adopt more.”

They would not be concerned over this here otherwise.

Then they shifted their hopeful eyes on Bai Xi and asked with their large eyes, “Mr. Bai, do you plan on adopting a cat?” zgX3Yx

That was a very good question.

He lowered his head back to look at the kitten in the box again. They were all Dragon Li breeds with dark and swarthy fur. As they opened their eyes, they clumsily wandered around the box and climbed over each other, in a silly and adorable manner.

He did have the thought of getting a cat. hP13wB

But he was very cautious about keeping pets. This decision involved a small life after all. He needed enough patience and responsibility to take good care of it.

So he had done his homework and researched reliable catteries, thinking about adopting one in the future if the chance appeared.

The reason why he added ‘if the chance appeared’ was that he no longer lived alone now. He remembered that Qi Xun’s interest in small animals was never high, so he had to consider what Qi Xun wanted.

But faced with these weak kittens, he was reluctant to turn a blind eye. BymQOD

They were so pitiful, being thrown away at birth. If no one adopted them, and if they were not discovered by one of the girls, he could not imagine what would have happened to them.

In the end, he could not resist reaching out and petting one of the kittens with gentle force.

That kitten did not seem to be afraid of humans as it rubbed his fingers with its nose before extending its tiny, pink tongue to lick them.

Bai Xi: “…” HOk5rp

My heart, kittens are truly the cutest. 

As a two legged beast, how could he not carry the burden of being the owner of such an adorable cat?

He quietly took the box.

“How about this, I will adopt one and take the second one to the vet. I will pay for its expenses while it’s staying there. Your job is to find a good person to adopt it.” He said. HfW8jz

The ladies immediately cheered.

That day, when Qi Xun came home, he found that Bai Xi’s eyes seemed particularly gentle.

It was the kind of tender eyes with bad intentions behind them. GWUBof

As Qi Xun watched a documentary while leaning against the headboard, he felt uncomfortable by the other man’s stare.

He put down his tablet, turned and asked, “Yes? Why are you looking at me like that for?”

Bai Xi continued to look very gently at him, leaving over and sharing a photo on his phone.

“Look, isn’t he cute?” Bai Xi asked with a bright smile. IxoUSK

Qi Xun looked at the screen and saw a skinny little kitten laying in a cat bed. He was pretty clean and was drinking milk out of a baby bottle.

Qi Xun’s aesthetic appreciation of animals was limited, and he could not decide whether this cat was ugly looking or nice looking.

“He is all right.” He reluctantly gave a positive comment.

Bai Xi was not satisfied. “That is it? He is clearly a good and adorable kitten.” y0q8IB

Qi Xun was finally catching the drift.

He asked, “You want to adopt him?”

Bai Xi chuckled mischievously, and told how he got in contact with the cat and the circumstances of the kitten.

“Because he is too young, and I do not know if he caught any diseases, so right now, I put him with another kitten in the vet, which I will take back home once he is healthier.” Bai Xi explained. If6HUo

Qi Xun understood.

It was not that Bai Xi was planning to adopt the cat, but it was already set in stone.

The other man was just pretending to value his opinion.

“Why do you look so guilty? It is no big deal if you want to have a cat.” He extended out two fingers and lifted Bai Xi’s chin, meeting the other man’s eyes. P1H5Qe

He was wearing reading glasses. Together with his refined appearance and a pair of peach blossom eyes, it gave this tantalising feeling.

He was a mean and good-looking refined scum from head to toe.

Bai Xi’s Adam’s apple bobbed untimely, and felt like there were ants in his pants.

He blinked rapidly at Qi Xun. “Should I not consider my roommate’s opinions as well? If this family is getting one more member, it would need to be an equal decision.” QeiMpD

It was hard to tell if Qi Xun was smiling or not.

After all, it was said and done, yet the young man was still playing the democracy card.

Qi Xun loosened his hand that was holding Bai Xi’s chin, stroked the other’s lips and deliberately questioned, “What if I disagree?”

He thought Bai Xi would sweet talk him and coax him to agree. wPJibo

But who knew that instead of gentle persuasion, Bai Xi frowned and thought carefully.

“Then I can only take the cat and run away from home.” This was the conclusion Bai Xi thought seriously after some time. “I can raise and keep him in my apartment and come visit you every other day…”

Qi Xun: “…”

His eyes were half closed as he stared at Bai Xi with an unkind look. fbdlHT

Between him and the cat, Bai Xi actually chose the cat. The young man would rather live with the cat than stay with him?

This little liar. The solemn vow to accept the decision if he was coaxed was completely gone.

As Bai Xi was still pondering, he failed to notice that the look in his boyfriend’s eyes was becoming more and more dangerous.

By the time he raised his head, he had been dragged into the quilt by Qi Xun. aq6KsW

“Huh? What are you doing?” Bai Xi fell on the pillow and met Qi Xun’s eyes in a daze, looking innocently before he could react.

Qi Xun took off his pajamas without delay.

He had such elegance with a trace of gorgeous face, yet his action was completely unmatched with his face.

With one hand on Bai Xi’s pillow, and glasses long removed, there was nothing blocking his clear eyes from staring into Bai Xi’s. 8wEXpz

He also used democracy against Bai Xi.

“You can adopt the cat, since I am not an unreasonable person.” He smiled at his lover. “But I have to collect some interest because that is only fair, sounds fair?”

Bai Xi had a clear understanding of the interest Qi Xun was talking about.

But when Qi Xun looked at him so intensely, he would agree to anything. kJ Ixz

Bai Xi covered his face and nodded shyly.

I mean, it is only a small amount of interest.

The interest was collected one after another. IdHPgJ

When he got up the next day, Bai Xi could only feel regret.

He placed his hands on his waist and felt that he had made a great sacrifice.

But while he was brushing his teeth, he received a photo from the pet hospital. The little civet he decided to adopt was sleeping on all fours, with its soft belly exposed and four small plum blossom paws. It looked cute. Incredibly.

But while he brushed his teeth, he received a photo from the vet. The little Dragon Li he decided to adopt was sleeping with his four feet facing upward, showing his soft belly and four little beanies. It was cuteness overload. p6ZjCN

He was overwhelmed with paternal love and thought the interest he paid was well worth it.
