What Should I Do Now That I've Grown Cat Ears After a Breakup?

Xia Li grew up fighting his way through life. His father had never raised him during the first eighteen years of his life, and while working a summer job, Xia Li got himself a boyfriend.

He had no idea what his boyfriend did for a living. The man was stunningly handsome, old-fashioned, and abstinent, and ten years older than him.

Xia Li: "Uncle, let's go on a date!"

The bright-eyed young man had his shirt half open and a rose in his mouth, just as passionate as he was. Fu Rongyu's only response was a cold, "No."

Then he added, "You need to do your homework."

Wait, Xia Li was looking for a boyfriend, not a dad. He'd already graduated, so why was someone still ordering him around and telling him to study and do homework?

Xia Li promptly broke up with him, but the moment he walked out of the man's front door, cat ears sprouted from his head.

The winter night was freezing. Standing miserably in the cold, Xia Li thought over his social circle and realized Fu Rongyu was the only reliable person in it.

Awkwardly, he knocked on the man's door. Under the man's dark gaze, he asked sheepishly, "Um, you're pretty knowledgeable. Have you ever seen this before?"

He took off his hood, revealing his cat ears, but his head suddenly spun.

He fell into the man's arms. The moment his palm touched the man's bare chest, the cat ears disappeared.

Xia Li let go, and they reappeared.

The good news: He'd found a way to make the cat ears disappear.

The bad news: He'd just broken up with the solution.

The cat ears also came with some nasty side effects. To treat them, Xia Li had to swallow his pride and cuddle up to his ex-boyfriend.

But he hadn't expected the man to use it as an excuse to control him.

Want to hold hands? Do a test paper.

Want a hug? Recite a passage.

Xia Li wasn't the type to admit defeat.

Fine, he could sit in the man's lap while doing his test paper.

And he could press close to the man's ear while reciting his passage.

If you make me miserable, I'll make you miserable too. What are you going to do about it? (Smug kitty.jpg)

But little by little, Xia Li realized that simple skin contact was no longer enough to make his cat ears disappear. Worse, he even started growing a cat tail!

The good news: He'd found another solution!

The bad news: This time, it involved bodily fluids...

And the even worse news: The old-fashioned man had no sex drive...

Fu Rongyu, who had always kept his desires in check and followed the rules, finally couldn't take any more and threw the troublemaker onto the bed.

He pulled off his tie and held it to Xia Li's mouth, saying coldly, "Bite down."

His towering figure came down over him. In a hoarse voice, he said, "And hold on."
