Starting with taking in female college students

"Why is your house so messy?"

Once on the second floor, Li Shiwei wandered around without any hesitation.

Beside her were DouDou and XiaoManKang, these two uninhibited creatures who acted like the homeowners, leading Li Shiwei to each room with great enthusiasm. They even led Li Shiwei into the bedroom, where XiaoManKang laboriously climbed onto the bed to beckon Li Shiwei to come and keep it company.

"I'm not coming up! There's cat hair everywhere on the blankets! Is owning a cat really this terrifying?"

Li Shiwei pouted and pointed at the large amount of cat hair on the surface of the quilt, baring her teeth.

These cat hairs were embedded in the gaps in the fabric, some even forming exaggerated clumps. At the foot of the bed, the blanket had even been worn into a large dent, filled with countless cat hairs of various colors.

"Oh! It's because I had surgery this morning and needed to start preparing very early, so I didn't have time to make the bed. If you have time, could you use a lint roller to lint it for me? It's on the bedside table."

Chen Rang's voice came from the kitchen.

"You actually order your guests around?"

Li Shiwei feigned dissatisfaction and shouted.

But despite saying that, she quickly picked up the lint roller and started working.

She rolled the entire bed, from head to foot, checking for anything unusual as she went. For example, she looked for long women's hair, pressure marks on the pillows, or any unusual items on the other bedside table.

She's absent-minded when she's working, but she's sharp when it comes to this kind of thing.

However, after almost finishing sticking the lint remover all over the bed and changing it several times without finding anything wrong, her eyes finally softened again.

"Hehe... Not lying is what makes a good child."

Li Shiwei slapped the head of Xiao Mankikang, who was squatting on the bedside table, so hard that it stumbled and almost fell off. Then she chased Dou Dou, who had climbed onto the headboard, off the bed.

As she tossed the lint rollers into the trash can, she glanced inside, her smile growing increasingly satisfied.

"What did you just say?"

Chen Rang quickly placed two bowls of egg fried rice on the table, while pretending to look blankly at Li Shiwei as she came out of the room.

There's nothing there!

Li Shiwei smiled and shook her head.

Looking at her own fried rice, she pouted and said, "It's alright, a little better than my dad's, but not as good as my mom's. Let me tell you, I've been eating fried rice for over ten years; before, when my mom was busy and my dad happened to be off work, I ate this for almost every meal!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I can actually cook noodles too."

Chen handed her a pair of chopsticks.

"How pitiful."

Li Shiwei gave a perfunctory response, making no mention of the fact that she was a complete kitchen idiot. Anyway, she ate at the police station canteen every day during her work hours, so it wouldn't hurt for her to order takeout on her rare days off; cooking was absolutely out of the question for her.

Neither of them had the habit of chewing slowly, and they quickly finished their bowls of fried rice.

"Seventy points, I guess."

Li Shiwei, like a culinary critic, slowly and methodically gave her evaluation. Afterward, she slumped onto the sofa to digest her food, while simultaneously slapping Grandpa Yin's bottom loudly, scaring away all the cats so much that none of them dared to approach her.

"As soon as you arrived, these cats looked at you like you were a plague god."

Chen Rang glared at her, annoyed.

"Hehe... With their delicate nature, you expect me to take care of them? They need to get used to my strength, you know? Expecting me to be extra gentle is a pipe dream!"

Li Shiwei spoke with a pointed remark.

She bent down and beckoned the little cats over, but this time none of them fell for it. So she gave up on that target and turned her attention to Chen Rang, shifting her position to get closer to him.

Chen Rang had a feeling that this woman's offensive was becoming increasingly difficult to resist.

Of course, I don't dislike it.

The two laughed and joked for a while, watched TV for a bit, and chatted about their high school memories. As it got late, Li Shiwei was already dozing off; Chen Rang quickly woke her up and reminded her it was time to go home.

"Wow! How could you say something so cold? You're actually telling me to leave?"

Li Shiwei pointed to the tip of her nose, so surprised that she was no longer sleepy.

Chen Rang rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"You put it that way! Okay, then you can stay! You can choose between the second or third floor. Do you want me to stay with you?"

"Pooh!"

Li Shiwei spat at Chen Rang, her face not turning red at all, only showing a look of disgust.

Of course she knew she couldn't stay overnight; after all, she was a virgin! Besides, that bastard Chen Rang hadn't offered anything, so how could she let him take advantage of her so easily?

If you dare to act like a hooligan, take him to the police station!

She glared at Chen Rang, then moved aside a large blue cat that had sneaked over and was rubbing its fur against her legs when she wasn't looking, and got up to go to the door to change her shoes.

Chen Rang escorted her downstairs, and this time not a single cat dared to follow.

"Please drive carefully!"

"You too, get some rest! No matter what happens, remember to call me. And if you encounter anything unusual in the future, don't be foolish and go out alone; what if there's danger? Just call the police!"

"Hey! What danger could I possibly encounter? Don't worry, I know how to protect myself."

"You know nothing!"

Li Shiwei laughed and scolded, waved her hand to close the car window, and turned around and left briskly.

Chen Rang watched the car's taillights disappear from sight with a smile, then shook his head with a hint of helplessness and turned around. He didn't go straight to the second floor to rest, but instead went back downstairs to check on the blue and white cat and the female silver shaded cat, and changed their litter again.

Both cats are in relatively stable condition.

The female silver shaded cat, now without its baby room, could only pitifully curl up in its cat bed. Fortunately, Chen Rang used a cardboard box to cover the cat bed, which made it much quieter.

As for the blue and white cat whose eyes had both been operated on, with sutures on its eyelids and long black eyelashes, it was in a state of discomfort after finally regaining a sense of security.

The foreign body sensation and slight pain on its eyelid made it want to scratch it. However, the Elizabethan collar not only prevented its claws from moving, but also prevented it from rubbing its face against the wall of the cat house. It shook its head helplessly and scratched at the Elizabethan collar with its paws.

When Chen Rang appeared in the dark cat house using the light from his phone, the blue and white cat was startled. The eerie Chen Rang frightened it so much that its fur stood on end, and it instantly became docile.

It seemed that the pain in its body was nothing compared to the fear Chen Rang had instilled in it; it looked more docile than anyone else at this moment.

"You better behave yourself!"

Chen threatened it and applied some medicine to its eyes to make it feel a little more comfortable.

After confirming that there were no other problems at the clinic, he returned to the second floor.

Then, all the bed sheets and duvet covers were changed.

Li Shiwei's previous criticisms made him feel a little embarrassed.

He knew, of course, that there was a lot of cat hair in his bed, and that this wasn't a problem that a lint roller could completely solve; but after all, he was a single man... and most of the time he was rather lazy in his daily life.

Chen Rang stuffed all three bedding items into the washing machine and waited for it to finish washing and spinning while trying to find something to do.

He easily scooped up the little doll and held it in his arms.

Then, gently squeezing its little front paws and prying out the nail plates, I noticed that the newly grown, pointed nails had already grown quite long. The hind nails grow more slowly, but the four front toenails, excluding the big toe, already need to be trimmed again.

This is probably because when Chen Rang trimmed their nails last time, he cut them rather roughly and shallowly.

Of course, at that time, it was also troublesome for them to struggle.

So, taking advantage of the remaining time, Chen Rang decided to give all the cats' toenails a proper trim. He'd at least file them down a bit afterward to avoid ending up with scratches all over his arms like Zhou Meijuan.

In Chen Rang's home, there are more nail clippers for cats and dogs than for humans.

He casually rummaged through the coffee table drawer and pulled out a pair of blue pet nail clippers. One side of the clippers had a blade, and the other side had a small hole, just big enough to fit a cat's nail, creating a perfect distance that wouldn't cut the quick.

Then, with a swift motion, a thin, white, sharp thorn fell onto Chen Rang's knee.

"Meow~"

The little doll was very docile; even though it seemed a little timid, it didn't struggle at all. It just stared at Chen Rang with its big eyes, letting him do whatever he wanted, giving him its complete trust.

Chen Rang did not disappoint it, and quickly trimmed its nails clean.

Patting its little head, Chen Rang rewarded the little ragdoll with a piece of freeze-dried cat treat. Then he put it on the ground and began searching for his second target.
