The Cat Doesn't Feel Like Slacking Off Today

Mao Zhaocai was reborn after being driven to the end of his rope.

In his previous life, he devoted himself completely to his family, only to watch helplessly as his adoptive parents took everything from him.

A scumbag and the wealthy family's biological son teamed up to block every path ahead of him, leaving him abandoned by everyone and dying miserably in the street.

Back in the past, contract in hand, he looked at the scumbag's hopeful expression.

Mao Zhaocai ran his fingers over the bold signature on the page. This time, he would make everyone who had bullied him pay!

But Mao Zhaocai, so absorbed in face-slapping revenge, never imagined that his rebirth was incomplete. Part of his soul had entered the body of a kitten.

Even more horrifying, he could feel everything the cat felt!

Afraid of starving to death, Mao Zhaocai planned to pick up the cat himself, but it was taken in by a merman instead.

Chi Zheng, owner of a business empire, was every merman's dream catch. He had a near-monopoly on all trade between humans and merfolk.

But few merfolk knew that, despite his glamorous life, Chi Zheng suffered from deep-sea phobia.

He had endured it alone for years, until one of his men brought home a calico cat.

He saw through the situation almost at once, but pretended not to notice, waiting for the other to walk right into his trap.

The merman, impeccably dressed in a suit, pushed his wheelchair. "I hear you've been looking for me. Were you looking for me, or for my cat?"

Mao Zhaocai forced himself to stay calm. "Of course I came to see you."

"Is that so?" Chi Zheng smiled faintly and pinched the tip of the calico cat's tail.

"Mmm..."

Oops, busted!

Reading guide: A reborn bottom who knows when to yield and when to stand firm, and is exceptionally shrewd about everything except his owner x a talented, multibillionaire top with a fortune to his name, who's actually incredibly innocent and will spend a fortune on his wife.

Who doesn't love a rich merman? Heh heh.

The world is one where merfolk and humans coexist peacefully. Most merfolk live undisturbed more than ten thousand meters beneath the sea, while a small number are amphibious. This story continues the timeline of After I Grabbed a Fish Tail.
