Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 14 Xia Qiyue

The noodles were just ordinary braised beef instant noodles, topped with a perfectly balanced yellow and white poached egg, the aroma filling the air and steam rising.

He woke up Xiao Lan, who was fast asleep nearby, but the woman pressed her back down.

"this is mine!"

"The conditions are basic, so let's just make do with what we have."

Chen Nian placed the noodles on the table.

"Thank you!"

The woman didn't say anything more, she just kept showing off!
"."

Chen Nian's eye twitched.

This girl is not only a foodie, but also a carefree foodie!

Aren't you afraid I'll drug you?

Chen Nian couldn't help but scare her.

The woman continued slurping her noodles, only glancing up at Chen Nian before shaking her head with her cheeks puffed out.

"Not afraid."

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."

What kind of bad intentions might someone who loves cats have?

Women still have a lot of faith in their own judgment.

"Just like Little Blue!"

Although it felt good to be trusted, Chen Nian couldn't help but complain.

The woman wasn't angry at all; instead, she happily showed off her dimples and tilted her head to rub her forehead against the sleeping Xiao Lan.

It means that a picture has been praised.

I didn't compliment you!

"And you! Didn't you already eat your cat food? This is my food!"

Chen Nian managed to save her bowl of noodles by resisting Xiao Lan, who was wrapped in a towel like a mop, as she approached.

What's going on between this person and this cat?!
The long-quiet rental apartment became inexplicably lively on this rainy night.

The instant noodles smell delicious.

But while Chen Nian was eating, she also smelled the fragrance of osmanthus, which was coming from the girl next to her.

Chen Nian felt that she had heard this before.

"I'm done!"

A woman's voice came from beside me, saying, "Finally, I'm alive again."

Chen Nian turned her head to look.

The woman neatly placed her chopsticks on the bowl, then took a tissue from the side and elegantly wiped her mouth.

He eats with a wild and unrestrained manner, but surprisingly becomes very polite after finishing his meal.

'A strange woman.'

When the woman swept her bangs to one side, revealing her smooth forehead, Chen Nian realized that the woman was quite good-looking.

On the contrary, even in the Jiangnan region, where beautiful women abound, she is considered to be of an upper-class level.

Xia Qiyue stood up, wiped her hands haphazardly on her clothes, then stretched out her right hand to Chen Nian, who was still eating noodles, her eyes curving into crescents as she said with a grin.

"My benefactor, let's get to know each other formally."

"My name is Xia Qiyue."

"Summer in July".

Chen Nian looked up. The bright incandescent light on the ceiling made Xia Qiyue seem to be glowing.

Chen Nian put down her chopsticks and reached out her hand.

“I am not called my benefactor, I am called Chen Nian.”

The two shook hands briefly.

Xia Qiyue's fingertips were icy cold, and they didn't warm up from eating or the air conditioning.

Her smile remained unchanged, and her two dimples were particularly noticeable.

"You saved Xiao Lan and my lives, so of course you're our benefactor. It's not too much for me to call you our benefactor, is it?"

"If eating a bowl of noodles counts as saving a life, then I have nothing to say."

Chen Nian is not good at communicating with girls.

It's not that I'm introverted or have low self-esteem.

It's not that they don't understand.

He spends most of his time with cats, and besides his roommates, he spends more time with the cat-loving upperclassmen and women on campus during his university years.

So Chen Nian continued to eat her noodles with her head down.

Xia Qiyue didn't mind at all. She watched Chen Nian slurp noodles and couldn't help but rub her stomach.

I'm getting a little hungry again.
To distract herself, Xia Qiyue looked at the few pieces of furniture in Chen Nian's living room.

"My benefactor, may I take a look at your desk?"

When she went to get the cat food, she noticed the group photo on Chen Nian's desk and the items on the display case behind her, but she didn't look at them much without Chen Nian's permission. Now she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she asked.

Despite it being late at night, Xia Qiyue's voice was still full of energy.

Compared to Chen Nian, she seemed somewhat weak.

"Whatever, as long as you don't call me your benefactor."

Since there was nothing shameful about it, Chen Nian did not refuse.

"Okay, thank you, my benefactor, oh no, Chen Nian."

Xia Qiyue changed her tune with a grin.

In the warm environment, Xiao Lan has fallen asleep peacefully.

Xia Qiyue put her hands behind her back and walked quietly towards the desk, her big eyes scanning the surroundings as she went. When she saw the large orange and the hungry orange hanging on the wall, she couldn't help but laugh.

How interesting!
Then, she noticed the phone stand on the table and the various cat figurines on it. As if realizing something, she turned her head and asked.

"Chen Nian, are you a live streamer?"

"Ah."

Chen Nian openly admitted that being a live streamer is not a shameful profession.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qiyue's expression lit up.

"Wow, she really is a streamer!"

"I've always wanted to be a live streamer, but I get so nervous in front of the camera that I don't know what to say. I never thought I'd actually meet a live streamer! It's so great!"

"Chen Nian, what kind of streamer are you? Tell me your name quickly, I'll follow you!"

Chen Nian swallowed the noodles in her mouth.

"Chen Nian Jianmao on Douyin platform."

Xia Qiyue took out her phone and tapped it twice, then became even more surprised.

More than 10,000 followers!

And this streamer is even related to cats?!
He hit two-thirds of her preferences right away! My goodness! Is this some kind of destiny arranged by heaven?!
Xia Qiyue couldn't wait to stand there and start watching Chen Nian's past videos.

"."

When her voice explaining cat habits came through the phone, Chen Nian's fingers holding the chopsticks curled slightly. She lowered her head and slurped up a large mouthful of noodles, trying to cover up the inexplicable sense of shame with the sound of chewing.

Just as Chen Nian finished eating her bowl of noodles, Xia Qiyue finished watching a video.

Chen Nian's fan count increased by 1.

She resisted the urge to immediately click on the next video, her finger lingering on the screen. When she looked up, her bright eyes were filled with undisguised admiration, as if she had discovered a treasure.

"So the popular Yunmao video recently was leaked from you!"

"Absolutely amazing!"

Chen Nian's understanding of cats is so profound and her knowledge so extensive that even a blogger who writes articles about cats can't compare.

This made Xia Qiyue even more curious about Chen Nian.

How did the other person learn so much about cats? It was the same when they treated Xiao Lan before.

The technique is very professional; it's obvious that the person has practiced!

"Okay."

Although she had heard these kinds of compliments many times, Chen Nian still appreciated them when they came from a beautiful woman.

He stood up to wash the dishes, but Xia Qiyue walked over and stopped him.

Please let me handle this!

"You've treated Xiao Lan and made me noodles, so I'll take care of the dishes!"

Chen Nian thought about it and agreed, so she simply let her go.

Xia Qiyue carried the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and came out a short while later, then said goodbye.

"It's already past three o'clock, Chen Nian, I should go."

She glanced at Xiao Lan, who was fast asleep on the table, and then at the heavy rain still falling outside.

He put his hands together in prayer.

"Um... could I leave Xiao Lan with you for now? I'll pick her up tomorrow when the rain stops, otherwise I'm worried she'll catch a cold on the way. Please, please!"

Chen Nian glanced at Xia Qiyue's half-wet clothes.

Compared to Xiao Lan, he felt that Xia Qiyue should be more worried about him.

The girl seemed completely oblivious, unconcerned about her clothes, and instead looked at Chen Nian with a pitiful gaze.

"alright."

We'll see this through to the end when it comes to rescuing cats.

Even if Xia Qiyue didn't say it, Chen Nian actually had the same plan.

With the rain so heavy, if the wound on my forehead gets wet, it's very easy for it to become infected again.

So Chen Nian nodded and pointed to the raincoat hanging at the door.

"Then leave Xiao Lan with me for now. Remember to wear your raincoat when you go back. It's raining heavily, and your umbrella won't be of much use."

"Remember to come tomorrow!"

"My raincoat is precious! Otherwise, I would have thrown Little Blue out!"

He made a vicious threat.

Xia Qiyue chuckled.

"Don't worry, I don't want Xiao Lan to be a stray again."

After saying that, she leaned down and whispered "See you tomorrow" in Xiao Lan's ear, who had already woken up. Xiao Lan opened her eyes, still half asleep, and called out weakly.

Chen Nian turned her head away.

Don't look at anything inappropriate.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Lan, Xia Qiyue walked towards the door and obediently picked up the raincoat and put it on.

The raincoat is a bit too big.

The plastic sheet rustled softly as it rubbed together, and its hem just covered her exceptionally long and slender legs.

wow-

Xia Qiyue awkwardly fiddled with the oversized brim and cuffs of her hat, looking like a giant doll, before finally standing at the door and waving sweetly at Chen Nian.

"Chen Nian, see you tomorrow."

"I've followed your account, I'll pay attention in class when I get back!"

She pointed to her phone and winked mischievously.

Chen Nian:
Looking at the brightly smiling figure wrapped in a large raincoat at the door, he felt a slight itch, as if something furry had gently brushed against a corner of his heart.
