But Shang Wanshuo discovered that a pelican had latched onto him?! Pelicans will grab anything and everything. Even when they can't eat it, they'll carry it off! They're a nationally protected species and one of the most dangerous animals in the country, ferocious to the extreme. The first time. The keeper smiled and patted the prettiest white-feathered bird in the flock. “You can pet this one too. It's hand-raised, gentle, and won't bite.” Shang Wanshuo tentatively reached out. The pelican stared wide-eyed and flapped around. At last, it opened its enormous beak and clamped it around Shang Wanshuo's head in front of everyone. Shang Wanshuo: ... The second time. Shang Wanshuo rushed back to the pelican park with the troublemaking bird in tow. To his amazement, he discovered that this pelican could understand human speech! Staff member: “Has the zoo trained it, so it can understand simple commands?” Shang Wanshuo didn't believe it. “Animals just figure out what to do from people's tone of voice.” To demonstrate this to everyone, he cleared his throat and gently cupped the pelican's head. In a sorrowful voice, as if he were about to cry, he said, “Listen to me, Fishy, oh Fishy, am I the most handsome man in the world? If you think so, take a bite out of me...” “Yowwww!” Before he could finish, it clamped down on him. Pelican: Humans are so strange. Who would make such a strange request? The third time. After filming wrapped, Shang Wanshuo returned to his hometown. He woke with a start in the middle of the night, hearing something outside the window. He flung it open, only to see a familiar big-beaked bird standing there. Man and bird stared at each other. Shang Wanshuo screamed in terror, “No, baby! How did you escape from the zoo?!” Why are you shouting so loud? Are you trying to get yourself killed? The pelican had had enough. It clamped down hard on his hand. Shang Wanshuo: ... Damn. · Lately, Shang Wanshuo's partner, Shi Yu, had become increasingly fond of holding him while they slept. One night, Shang Wanshuo was woken by Shi Yu clamping down on him again. The young man's warm body was pressed close to his, and he murmured in his sleep. Shang Wanshuo listened carefully. Shi Yu: “Hehe, so pretty... got you...” Shang Wanshuo: ??? · One day, a celebrity who had shot to fame through a birdwatching variety show was photographed kissing his young boyfriend in public.

Coming Soon: Please Show Your Senior Cat Some Respect Pairing: Beautiful catboy bottom x cat-obsessed college student top Yunyun is a long-haired orange-and-white cat who grew up at Yuncheng University. He's the most senior cat on campus. Every college student who sees him pets his head, respectfully says, “Good day, Senior,” and offers him delicious cat treats. But one day, a male college student actually had the nerve to tease him! At the start of the school year, Yunyun was invited to represent the campus cats at the Stray Cat Club's first meeting of the semester. The young man, He Jingyuan, a newly enrolled student, sat beneath the stage with a blank expression as he brushed Yunyun's fur. The little cat accepted his underclassman's pampering with perfect composure, purring contentedly in his arms. For some reason, he felt the young man's hand gradually moving lower... Then it touched the cat's most sensitive spot. Yunyun: ? And gave it a gentle squeeze. Yunyun: ?? The club president onstage repeatedly stressed, “We must respect Senior Yunyun! Cherish him. Don't make him sad or angry!” The long-haired orange-and-white cat in the audience let out an angry, piercing yowl: “Mreow!” From that moment on, the young man and the cat were at loggerheads. He Jingyuan, is it? Just you wait! Humiliated, Yunyun gathered his cat underlings and prepared to launch a fierce revenge campaign. 1. He quickly memorized He Jingyuan's class schedule and sneaked into the young man's calligraphy elective. He dipped his paw in ink. Smack! He left a paw print on He Jingyuan's assignment. But the young man picked up his soft little paw, rubbed it against the tip of his nose, and framed their joint masterpiece. “Cute.” Yunyun: ... What a weirdo. 2. He went to He Jingyuan's dorm and slept on his bed. The orange cat curled up in the blankets and kneaded away, when suddenly someone flipped him over! The young man bent down and buried his face in Yunyun's fluffy belly. He took a deep breath. “So soft.” Yunyun: ... What is wrong with you? 3. He followed He Jingyuan home and shamelessly mooched food and lodging. Before long, Yunyun fled from his home in a panic. The cat-eared boy hid his changed body beneath a hat and touched his lips, red and swollen from being kissed. He sucked on them so hard, it hurts, QAQ. Remembering what had just happened, his face burning red, Yunyun fell completely silent. Aaaah, he's a pervert!! He Jingyuan met the cat he most wanted to keep at just the right age. At the Stray Cat Club's first meeting, the little cat sat on the table in front of him, tail swishing back and forth. He let He Jingyuan hold him and pet him without protest. I want to take him home so badly. He reached out to check the cat's sex. Yep, a boy cat. The little cat seemed caught off guard by his sudden move. His eyes went wide, his mouth fell open, and sharp teeth showed. Sensing the strange atmosphere around him, He Jingyuan slowly looked up at the picture on the PowerPoint slide. It showed the senior cat, said to have a fiery temper, bite people, and need to be handled with care. He looked familiar. He seemed to be the little cat he'd just taken liberties with. ...Oh no. What do I do? I've offended my senior! School was exhausting, but whenever He Jingyuan had free time, he could squeeze a cat's paw or bury his face in a cat's belly, and all his fatigue vanished. His college life was surprisingly comfortable. After much perseverance, he finally took the cat he adored home. The handsome boy's orange-gold hair twitched around his cat ears as he cornered him against the wall. Yunyun glared up at the young man, who was a head taller than him. “Can't you show your senior a little respect?” “No.” He Jingyuan's gaze darkened. He held Yunyun by the wrist, lowered his head, and kissed the boy until he'd had his fill. Theme: Protecting pelicans is everyone's responsibility.
