Let Go of That Cat!

Xie Yao regretted it terribly. If he'd known Ling Jizhou was a hardcore cat lover, he never would have let his spirit form out!

Xie Yao was a Sentinel, and his spirit form was a black-footed cat. Both he and his spirit form were among the best at the academy, whether in combat ability or reconnaissance.

An accident sent him to Blue Star, a world inhabited only by ordinary people. There was no way home, and he had no legal identity, so he had to think about making a living first. He became the personal bodyguard of Ling Jizhou, the heir to the richest family in the country.

At night, to ensure his employer's safety, Xie Yao let his cat out to keep watch. The cat guarded against everyone except its employer. Ling Jizhou scooped it up and carried it inside, then petted it from head to toe, cuddling and nuzzling it while calling it Kitty.

The next day, both the cat and Xie Yao felt awful. How could his dignified, modest, and widely respected employer secretly be such a pervert?!

Once the cat fell into his employer's hands, it never came back. Xie Yao, who shared every sensation with the cat, endured it again and again until he couldn't take any more and confronted his employer.

"Boss, please behave yourself. Stop petting the cat!"

Ling Jizhou was a smooth operator, but he had never truly cared about anyone. The first time he felt his heart stir was for his new bodyguard. It was love at first sight.

Xie Yao was cute, and so was the kitten he kept.

But both the man and the cat were aloof and wary, silently refusing to let anyone get close.

You couldn't force a person, but surely you could force a cat?

Under cover of night, Ling Jizhou scooped up the kitten while it was on patrol.

The next day, Xie Yao frowned and looked like he wanted to say something when he saw the cat in Ling Jizhou's arms. Ling Jizhou ignored him and kept nuzzling the cat. As long as he had the cat, he had no reason to worry that Xie Yao wouldn't come to him.

Gradually, he noticed a few interesting things. For instance, when he squeezed the kitten's paw, his bodyguard would instinctively clench his fist. When he rubbed the kitten's tail, his bodyguard couldn't help shivering.

That day, while they were in a meeting, he accidentally touched the kitten's bell. Xie Yao, who had been standing straight beside him, suddenly doubled over and glared at him with red ears.

Later, Xie Yao, his face flushed, barged into his bedroom and knocked him onto the bed. His usually cool voice was tinged with desire as he accused him furiously.

"I told you not to touch the cat! You brought on my heat by petting me. Whether you like it or not, you have to take responsibility!"

Ling Jizhou could barely keep from laughing as he pressed the increasingly dazed man beneath him.

"As you wish, baby. I'd be delighted."
