Cat Bluetooth Connected

On her way to an early class, Cheng Xiyan's Bluetooth earbuds, which were playing English listening practice, suddenly malfunctioned. After two crackles, the gentle, elegant female announcer's voice in her earbuds turned into an unfamiliar, furious shout.

"Meow, meow, meow, slow down! You're about to run over a cat's tail!"

???

One second later, an upperclassman also rushing to an early class tumbled off his little blue bike right in front of her. A tabby cat leisurely flicked its tail in front of the rolling wheel.

"That was close..."

Stunned, Cheng Xiyan instinctively unlocked her phone.

[Meow... Cat Bluetooth connected.]

**

Cheng Xiyan now had the biggest and most reliable network of informants on campus.

Library Cat No. 1, Tabbie: [Hey, girl, your boyfriend's cheating on you! He's been cheating from the first floor all the way to the eighth! I just clawed him. Hurry over!]

Campus Shuttle Cat No. 2, Flower: [Those two in the corner are in cahoots! Their phones are full of secret photos!]

Side Gate Cat No. 3, Little Orange: [This cat knocked over the food thief with my tail, but the food got knocked over too... Requesting backup...]

Later, Cheng Xiyan got a distress call from Little Gray at the sports field and sprinted over to help. In her haste, she charged in headfirst and tackled someone.

But it seemed she'd hit the wrong person.

She'd run into Ye Youjun, her childhood friend, whom she'd just had a fight with.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard a strange voice.

[Beep! "Intercept the Chance Encounter" mission complete. Experience +50.]

After stopping a little blue bike that was about to hit a tabby cat, Ye Youjun inexplicably became bound to the "Interception" System. He ignored the System's temptations and tapped "Decline Mission," until the mission target became the upperclassman pursuing Cheng Xiyan.

He began diligently completing missions, perfectly avoiding every witness.

One time, while intercepting the upperclassman, he was pretending to pass by the women's dormitory for the eighth time when Cheng Xiyan suddenly appeared and tossed him a bag of bread.

"You've been waiting since six. Aren't you hungry?"

He looked down and saw a familiar tabby cat.

No witnesses... Could there be a witness cat?

My neighbor has a ragdoll cat. It's so well-behaved and beautiful. I want to pet it so badly, so badly, so badly!

6.15

My neighbor looks a little familiar, but he's so fierce-looking, with such a cold expression. I didn't dare ask if I could see his cat.

6.21

I know why he looks familiar now... He's actually a really nice person. I'll try again tomorrow.

Moving day was a disaster. Jiang Yu went out to the balcony for some air and unexpectedly locked eyes with her neighbor's ragdoll cat.

A few days later, she worked up the courage to knock on her neighbor's door. When it opened, a guy in a black tank top poked his head out, looking cold and fierce.

She stared at the face that resembled her crush's, her mind going blank. She stammered several times but couldn't get the request to see his cat out.

A week later, she knocked again. This time, the fierce-looking neighbor wasn't there, but she got a flat-out rejection.

Unexpectedly, when she opened the door the next day, her neighbor's ragdoll cat was sprawled outside her home, lazily swishing its tail.

Gu Yi felt that there was something off about his cat.

His formerly lazy cat had recently started making frequent trips to the balcony, jumping around and acting far too energetic.

He opened the pet account he'd been following for ages, hoping to find an answer, but the blogger's recent posts also seemed a little odd.

They weren't educational posts about animals or cat-care tips, but questions asking netizens how to pet a neighbor's cat.

There was nothing he could do. He liked the post and left, until he saw the blogger's latest update.

The blogger said she'd been rejected. The neighbor who turned her down had a ragdoll cat named Wheat.

Gu Yi looked down at Wheat, who was scratching the sofa, and pondered for a few seconds.

Could she be his neighbor? But rejecting her had been a misunderstanding...

The next day, he brought Wheat to his neighbor's door.

Well, I got rejected.

He said his Wheat has a bad temper.

What a lame excuse for rejecting someone. The kitty is clearly so gentle.

6.23

?!

I just opened the door and my neighbor's cat pounced on me and clung to my pant leg!

That fluffy little head kept rubbing against me. So cute!

But my neighbor is so irresponsible, letting the cat out by accident. That's dangerous.

6.27

I don't think it was an accident. The kitty has shown up at my door at the same time for five days in a row. I suspect my neighbor is doing it on purpose.

6.28

My neighbor said he didn't know the kitty had snuck out. I must be overthinking it.

6.29

What do I do when a kitty won't leave me alone?

8.15

I don't think it's the kitty.

Yeah, someone even clingier than the kitty.
