Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

No sooner had she finished speaking than the little fish transformed back into a cat, apparently having exhausted its warm current.

"Uh, never mind, go open the door."

"Meow~"

The little fish landed on all fours and ran towards the door. With a leap, it opened the door.

Outside the door, Kong Fugui, with his green hair, poked his head in and asked Ai Qing with a grin, "I hope I didn't disturb your enjoyment? Where's your wife?"

Chapter 49 I understand everything, you don't need to explain.

"Meow~"

His younger brother and sister-in-law cried out from the ground, but failed to attract Kong Fugui's attention.

Upon seeing that it was Kong Fugui, Ai Qing, sitting at the dining table, rolled her eyes: "She's not here, don't bother looking."

It wasn't that she wasn't there; it's just that Kong Fugui certainly couldn't have imagined that his younger siblings, whom he was looking for with his darting eyes, had just opened the door for him and were now on the ground, strolling back to Ai Qing's feet.

"Really?" Kong Fugui walked in with a skeptical look. "Logically speaking, you've only been here for a month or two, and you didn't have a girlfriend during the New Year. Now should be the time when you two are inseparable."

"It's Sunday today, I should be spending quality time with you, how could I not be here?"

As he said this, Kong Fugui walked into the house as if he were already familiar with the place, changed into a pair of slippers, and wandered around the living room. "Really not?"

"You talk too much." Ai Qing said speechlessly, getting up to clear the table. "Get to the point."

"Oh, Sister Qian said the cat trap she ordered arrived. Isn't this the one you bought from her?" Kong Fugui chuckled. "I've never caught a cat before, so I came to see for myself."

“Oh, this?” Ai Qing suddenly realized. “Actually, I don’t know if I’ll need it. After all, I’m quite familiar with the cats at my grandma’s place, so I can just catch them directly.”

"Let's be on the safe side." A voice came from the doorway again. Xiao Youqian walked to the door and said to the inside, "Even if it's a stray cat you're familiar with, if you get stressed while catching it, you'll inevitably end up with a few cuts."

"Moreover, stray cats haven't been vaccinated, so their paws may have a lot of bacteria and viruses on them."

"If you want to reduce the risks of surgery, I would actually recommend getting vaccinated first, and then considering sterilization."

Upon seeing Xiao Youqian enter, Kong Fugui glanced at Ai Qing, then at his dining table, before walking between the door and the table, blocking Xiao Youqian's view.

Then he helped Ai Qing put the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen.

"Shall we leave now?" Ai Qing asked. "If we leave, I'll come back and wash the dishes."

"Let's go." Xiao Youqian, still wearing her shoes, crossed her arms and said, "The sooner we catch it, the sooner we get it done. This is all for the pet hospital's revenue."

"Okay, let's go then."

Ai Qing glanced at the little fish on the ground and said, "Little fish, guard the house well. I'll give you something delicious to eat when I get back."

Xiao Youqian turned around and pressed the elevator button first.

Ai Qing followed behind Kong Fugui. The two changed their shoes and were about to walk out the door when Kong Fugui grabbed Ai Qing's shoulder.

"Aren't you going to thank me?"

"Huh?" Ai Qing stared at him, completely bewildered.

"Keeping a mistress in a golden house? I'm a real bro, I even covered for you so Sister Qian wouldn't find out." Kong Fugui winked at him, looking like a good brother.

"No, didn't I already say she wasn't here?"

"Are you eating lunch alone?" Kong Fugui asked.

"correct."

"One person uses two sets of bowls and chopsticks?" Kong Fugui chuckled and patted Ai Qing's shoulder, looking wise and insightful. Then he turned and left, concealing his achievements. "I understand. You don't need to explain."

Ai Qing opened her mouth, unable to refute, and could only say, "...Do you have a sty? Your eyes are so sharp."

……

A cat trap, as the name suggests, is a tool specifically designed to catch cats.

Its entrance is slightly larger than a flight carrier, and it is much longer, about the length of two or three adult cats.

Place the cat's favorite treats at the deepest part of the cat trap, put it on an open ground, and wait for the cat to be lured in.

Once the cat is fully inside the cage, its weight will trigger the cage's mechanism, instantly closing the cage door and trapping the cat inside with nowhere to escape.

This method of catching cats is relatively safe.

The problem is that the waiting time may be quite long.

Because stray cats are naturally wary, some highly vigilant cats might not go in if they see such suspicious food.

However, in most cases, it's only a matter of time before the temptation of delicious food takes hold.

As for the stray cats that usually come to Ai Qing's yard to freeload...

"So what's the point of preparing cat cages?" Kong Fugui squatted on the ground, watching Lang Xiangying put the kittens, one in each hand, into the carrier, and couldn't help but ask, "Are these stray cats? How are they different from domestic cats?"

"What exactly did you call me here for?" Wu Yong asked abruptly from the side, "Just to see you guys pretend to be cats?"

"How was I supposed to know it would be so easy!" Kong Fugui complained loudly. "I was hoping to experience the thrill of a hunter luring his prey."

"It seems they really trust Grandma." Xiao Youqian chuckled as she squatted down and poked the head of the big orange cat in its carrier. "But this one is too fat. I suggest keeping it at the vet for now and feeding it a diet meal every day. Otherwise, it might be too obese and risk being spayed or neutered."

"Meow!"

I don't know if Daju understood or not. He filled the airline crate to the brim, so much so that he couldn't even turn over inside.

"What about the sheriff and the officer?" Ai Qing asked from the side. "Should they get vaccinated first?"

“They’re so obedient, we can vaccinate them first and then sterilize them later,” Xiao Youqian said. “We can use a cat trap to catch one we don’t know in the neighborhood to practice on.”

"Great, great, this will do!" Kong Fugui perked up immediately upon hearing this, quickly picked up the cat cage, and called to Ai Qing and Wu Yong, "Let's go!"

"Then I'll go to the vet with Grandma first to get them vaccinated."

……

At 5 p.m., the three of them returned to the veterinary hospital with the empty cat cage.

"What did we do all afternoon?" Wu Yong asked. "We didn't catch a single one."

"This cat runs away as soon as it sees people, and there's no time to get it out of its cage," Kong Fugui complained.

Ai Qing returned the cat trap to the vet and said with a speechless look, "You're too impatient. The trap was left there for more than ten minutes, and you couldn't help but move it to another place. How can you wait for a rabbit to run into a tree stump if you don't have patience?"

"I've never been this patient when I'm trying to pick up girls, okay?" Kong Fugui rolled his eyes, glanced at the time, and then said, "Anything free tonight? Let's go to an internet cafe!"

"I'll go check on the cat first," Ai Qing said, walking deeper into the pet hospital and finding her grandmother.

Lang Xiangying is currently taking care of the three old customers at home.

The Japanese officer is the thinnest among them and looks quite healthy, except for the two tufts of black hair above his lips that look rather comical.

The sheriff was quite robust, a chubby fellow, but he didn't look fat at all; instead, he looked like a big man.

It could also be because there's a big orange cat right next to it, a really fat bunch, so if it looks down it probably can't even see its own little tufts, and can't even lick the fur on its belly.

"After the physical exam and vaccinations, the sheriff and the officer will come back for two more vaccinations, and then we can prepare for the spaying/neutering," Xiao Youqian said from the side. "As for the big orange cat... let's wait until it becomes a small orange cat; it's really too fat right now."

Ai Qing rubbed the big orange cat's belly and looked at the three cats.

Until this moment, they were still unaware that a sharp blade was hanging over their heads, counting down the days.

"Then I'll take them both back first. I'll leave Daju here with you to lose weight." Lang Xiangying said this, settled all the fees, gave Ai Qing a few instructions, and then went home.

Ai Qing looked at Xiao Youqian and said, "The three of us will go to the internet cafe later..."

"I am coming too!"

"Aren't you going to keep watch here?"

"Isn't that how bosses are? They're not employees." Xiao Youqian waved her hand. "Let's go to the internet cafe."

At the door, Kong Fugui watched Xiao Youqian walk out, then squinted at Ai Qing and said, "Why did this girl follow us? Don't you know how incompetent she is?"

"Girls going to internet cafes with you guys, isn't that enough?" Xiao Youqian raised an eyebrow and questioned.

"I'd rather hire a female gaming companion. She's skilled, knows how to talk, and can get chicken dinners," Kong Fugui sarcastically remarked. "Instead of just yelling at the enemy and acting as a noise bomb and a mobile resource pack."

Chapter 50 ID Card

The area between the north and south residential communities of Jinpan Yunting Mansion is bustling with activity on Yunting Road in the evening.

On Sundays, there were significantly more people out dining out and strolling around than usual.

There are quite a few young people like Ai Qing and her group.

"Boss, do you have any private rooms available at the internet cafe?"

How many people are there?

"Four."

"Is a five-person room okay?"

"Okay, let's open one."

Kong Fugui waved his hand, and the group swiped their ID cards and entered the private room to take their seats.

Sitting in her seat, Ai Qing turned on her computer and looked thoughtfully at the ID card in her hand, suddenly thinking of her little fish at home.

If you bring your little fish out to play, eating, drinking and having fun are fine, but things like going to internet cafes or taking the high-speed rail for travel that require an ID card might not be so easy.

So how can someone like Xiaoyu, who suddenly appears out of nowhere in society, obtain a legal ID card?

Ai Qing wouldn't mind keeping Xiao Yu at home for the rest of his life, but if possible, he also hoped that Xiao Yu could see a wider world.

Now that we've already encountered the situation where a cat has turned into a human, how can we confine ourselves to a small room?

However, obtaining an ID card for someone with no past record is probably not an easy task.

Ai Qing was fiddling with his ID card in his hand when Kong Fugui next to him urged him to hurry up and register, which brought him back to his senses.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, or "PUBG" for short.

Back in high school, Kong Fugui would often drag the two of them out to play this game.

Wu Yong's marksmanship is the best.

Ai Qing and Kong Fugui are both ordinary players. They have some skills, some ideas, and some overall perspective, but only a little bit.
