Don’t Bully My Kid [Interstellar]

The only family the genius scientist Wen Xin had, his beloved kitten, had left him.

Everyone else said that a tabby cat who lived to twenty had died a natural death. Only he, a committed materialist and scientist, believed it wasn't dead.

“His baby must have gone back to Meow Star!!!”

Wen Xin spent his entire fortune on a spaceship and flew to Meow Star. There, he really did find his baby.

The little one was still as cute as when it was a kitten, with big round eyes and a tiny pink nose. Only its white paws had turned black from digging coal.

The moment it saw him, the little one was so excited that it cried cat tears. “Don't worry, Dad. Tomorrow I'll work overtime and dig extra coal so I can buy you something tasty!”

There really was a cat mine!

Wen Xin was furious. That was his baby! Who dared send it to dig coal?

The little one led him all the way to the palace and pointed at the magnificently dressed man at the top. The man's features were stunning, and his hair and eyes were gold. It complained, “Dad, it's him!”

“What kind of cat are you?” Wen Xin looked at the man's dazzling golden hair, lost in thought. “...A golden shaded cat? Or an orange cat?”

The king stared at him for a moment, then sneered. “...You're certainly interesting. Detain him. Tomorrow, send him to the mine to dig coal with the others.”

Wen Xin muttered, “...What a useless tyrant.”

At those words, the king's eyes narrowed.

A minister nearby shouted, “This man has given himself away. He must be a spy from Dog Star! Guards, throw him in prison!”

Wen Xin: “???”

The next day, his baby brought him food in prison and overheard the king talking to an attendant.

King: “Has that man confessed?”

Attendant: “...No. Not only has he refused to confess, he also said our warden is really nice to pet.”

The king was baffled. “Where's the warden?”

Attendant: “He got petted to sleep and is snoring right now.”

King: “Outrageous!”

Attendant: “H-he also said...”

The king sneered. “What else did he say?”

Attendant: “He said that if you turned back into a cat, you'd probably be nice to pet too. He likes tabby cats best, and golden shaded cats second best...”

The king suppressed his anger and ordered, “Have the imperial physician treat his blindness.”

Wen Xin discovered that this little cat planet was practically paradise. He petted every cat that came along and, thanks to his expert technique, opened a massage parlor that became famous far and wide. The cats came in covered in grime and left looking radiant.

Then, one stormy night, a distinguished guest came by again. Beneath a black velvet cloak was a pair of rare golden eyes, more brilliant than any star Wen Xin had seen during his journey through space.

But now a strange, scorching fire flickered in those eyes, nearly burning Wen Xin to the ground.

Wen Xin said seriously, “Yesterday was a special case. I've already let you cut in line once. Today, you'll have to make an appointment.”

“What if I'm here for something else?”

The man seemed to give a quiet laugh. His gaze shifted to Wen Xin's smooth, pale neck, and he asked in a low, dangerous voice, “Do you humans have a mating season?”
