Xiao Cat X Pei Puppy

Online, Xiao Cat coos and sweetly calls him "big brother." In real life, Pei Puppy acts all sneaky and well-behaved as he calls her "sis."

Everyday cat-baiting: a couple's mutually deceptive play!

Xiao Ziyao got scammed. The scammer even deleted and blocked her, leaving her with no way to contact him, but she still decided to get revenge!

Looking at the user with the highest affinity on the scammer's gaming social list, Xiao Ziyao narrowed her eyes and sent a friend request without hesitation.

"You're so good, big brother. Can you play games with Yaoyao?"

To her surprise, the request was accepted almost instantly. The other person invited her into a room and turned on voice chat.

"Yaoyao, CPDD."

Ever since she took the first step toward catching the scammer, Xiao Ziyao found herself forced into an online relationship.

"Wow, you're so good, big brother. Can you keep helping Yaoyao get stars?"

"You're so good, big brother. Do you think Yaoyao's terrible at the game?"

"Big brother, let's add each other on WeChat. Yaoyao wants to learn more about your life!"

After their feelings deepened and they successfully linked their accounts, Xiao Ziyao tracked down the scammer's contact details and went straight to confront him.

The anger in her heart finally gone, Xiao Ziyao promptly blocked her online boyfriend and wrote, "I don't like the scammer's friends!"

Pei Helin had always secretly loved an older student at his university. Then one day, she added his younger brother's gaming alt account. Egged on by his childhood friend, Pei Helin decided to follow his heart: "Yaoyao, CPDD."

From then on, Pei Helin had an online girlfriend. She could be a little manipulative in the way she spoke, but she flirted with him every day like a little cat. She was so, so, so adorable that his heart turned to mush.

Pei Helin couldn't wait to meet his Yaoyao in person, but he overheard that she didn't like public figures. Should he tell his girlfriend that he was an esports player? Would that mean they'd have to break up?

He couldn't bear the thought! Scheming Pei Puppy chose to keep it secret and decided to work both angles: be sweet with her in the game, and secretly seduce her in real life.

Pei Helin's plan was proceeding smoothly when his girlfriend suddenly ran off, leaving him with just one lonely message: "I don't like the scammer's friends!"

Scammer? Pei Helin protested miserably to himself. She's the real little liar!

After getting her revenge, Xiao Ziyao went out to celebrate with a friend. But as soon as she sat down at the table, someone cornered her.

A handsome guy looked furious, yet his eyes were red-rimmed as he stared at her accusingly. "Yaoyao, don't think you can trick me and then run away!"

Xiao Ziyao's eyes widened in shock. That voice... It was way too familiar!

"Big brother..." Xiao Ziyao murmured without thinking, then asked in a daze, "Are you the scammer's friend?"

Pei Puppy lowered his head and lightly touched Xiao Cat's lips. With a pitiful look, he said, "I'm the scammer's boyfriend!"
