The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Ah! No!" Her tail was grabbed, and the catgirl screamed as she quickly pulled away from his hand, turning back into a fluffy ball. She "whooshed" out the window, leaving behind the words, "I'm going to get some fresh air, I'll be right back," and disappeared.

Jiang Chen: ...

In just two seconds, a lot of information was conveyed.

The tail is sensitive and shouldn't be touched casually; not interested in catnip; affected by cat food; may become a catgirl if affected...

It seems I can't let the little white cat see the video I recorded, since it's still a minor.

I wonder if the assist system will be able to grow?

About ten minutes later, the noise in the living room gradually subsided.

"Handsome, you're awesome!" The orange cat, lying in its comfortable cat bed, rolled over and panted, "Wait a few more minutes, then we can try again!"

Ye Xingluo lay sprawled on the ground, utterly despondent.

After venting his feline instincts, his rationality prevailed, and he calmed down completely.

What did I just do?

"I'm doomed, I'm no longer clean!"

"I've seen so many beautiful women and could remain unmoved and undisturbed, but today I've fallen for a cat's paw..."

……

"Handsome, let's do it again?" the orange cat said seductively, rolling over.

Ye Xingluo, already in a bad mood, roared at it, "Get out! Get out now!"

"You've taken advantage of me and now you're turning your back on me?" Jiang Chen came out and saw this scene. He mocked, "You finished in just ten minutes. You're not good enough."

"It's all because of you!" Ye Xinglu jumped up, wanting to scratch him a couple of times to vent her anger.

I didn't expect my legs to be so weak and I almost lost my balance and fell.

Jiang Chen picked up his phone and looked at the recorded video, then chuckled and said, "Looks like your kidneys aren't doing so well. I'll buy you some supplements tomorrow to help you recover."

Hmm... your movements are still a bit rusty. Should we take a look and see where you can improve? Keep trying next time!

He turned on the video and played the sound aloud, then held the screen up to the big black cat.

"You're a monster! Delete it!" Ye Xinglu roared, her eyes red.

The main system only issued the task at this point.

[Task: Delete the videos of Tangyuan and the orange cat's pooping from your phone, and never restore them. Reward: 50 million RMB.]

"Ah, is the host spending money again?" The little white cat jumped back from outside in an instant, only to hear the voice in the video that made the cat blush, and then turned around and ran away.

Jiang Chen wasn't in a hurry to complete the task. First, he took out his newly bought tablet, set it up, and then transferred the video from his phone to the tablet.

Only after making a cloud backup did he click to delete the videos on his phone.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission!" The little white cat blushed as it ran back to remind the host, then turned and ran away again.

As the saying goes: nine out of ten CEOs have stomach problems, eight smell of tobacco, seven can't accept women other than the female lead, six are germaphobes, five suffer from insomnia, and three are disabled. But they all get better when they meet the female lead.

Ye Xingluo's domineering CEO persona naturally requires the above-mentioned conditions.

He didn't get the beautiful woman he longed for, but instead slept with a cat. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown, thinking that even if he endured humiliation and got a chance to be resurrected, what good would it do?

The cat's life has been completely ruined!

"Purr~purr~" The carefree orange cat, having eaten and drunk its fill, took over the warm cat bed and fell asleep, purring contentedly.

Jiang Chen glanced at the unupdated script, then used her long index finger to lift the black cat's drooping chin, making it look at her. "Do you know why I named you Tangyuan (Sweet Rice Ball)?"

"Shut up, you devil!"

"Because your heart is black."

He completely ignored the protagonist's low growl, pinched the face he was trying to dodge with his thumb and forefinger, pulled it forward so that the cat's eyes were facing him, and said, word by word, "Use your brain and think it over!"

I'll take you in and give you food, so you don't have to worry about going hungry;

I'll give you a place to live, so you don't have to go through the homeless life of Doubao.

What did you give me in return?

"If you were in that situation, and someone kindly took in and tried their best to help you, but then constantly plotted to steal your woman, what would you do?"

"Tear him to pieces!" Ye Xingluo replied without thinking, then realized something was wrong.

Is he talking about himself?

"Many novel protagonists are resurrected after they die and get a system; some can go back to the past to make up for all their mistakes; and some even transmigrate into princes or nobles and live a glorious life."

But some people, despite having the opportunity, choose to become cats or dogs first. Have you ever wondered why?

Jiang Chen didn't give him time to react and continued to explain, "I think that many times, fate probably wants some people to be able to see, hear, think, and feel from a different perspective."

This way, he can realize issues he had never considered before.

From being high above to looking up to others;

From tasting all kinds of delicacies and wearing all kinds of fine silks to being starving and naked;

From issuing orders to being manipulated by others.

A change in identity is never without reason; it is both an adventure and an opportunity.

Whether as a cat, a dog, or even a tree, after changing identities, try to see the world from a new perspective and learn new skills.

Discovering and analyzing your inner self can bring about a qualitative change in your entire being, from the inside out.

In this way, if they are given a chance to be resurrected in the future, they will become more mature and stronger, and won't be easily killed by others!

Ye Xingluo: (=°Д°=)

Is that so?

"System, is what Ji Jiangchen said true? Was it so that I could be reborn as a cat to experience a different life from a different perspective?"

[Sorry, this question is beyond our scope and we cannot answer it. Please try rephrasing it.]

Why do I have to turn into a cat and complete a mission to get a chance to be reborn?

The system prompted when the issue was being bound that the host met the binding requirements, and that the first stage required the host to transform into a cat and complete the task before proceeding to the second stage.

There's no reason why you'll turn into a cat; it's just how the system is set up. The host can choose not to accept it and can unbind themselves from the system at any time.

After choosing to unbind, the host's soul will leave the black cat's body and disappear completely.

Host, would you like to unbind?

"No, no, no, I never said I wanted to untie you!" Ye Xingluo was a little confused, and his lazy cat-like nature surged up again, making him yawn and stretch involuntarily.

Jiang Chen released his grip and said coldly, "I hope you can think this through carefully, otherwise I don't mind continuing to discipline you properly."

"I... I really need to think this through..." Ye Xinglu felt his mind was in turmoil. He tried to resist his cat-like instincts and began to think seriously.

Xiao Bai bounced back excitedly and said, "Host, the script has finally started updating!"

Chapter Eleven: A Tragic and Short Life

Back in his bedroom, Jiang Chen looked at the words "Updating" on the script and sighed, "Hopefully, while the script is being updated and the constraints on the protagonist's character aren't so strong, he can reflect on himself properly."

It would be great if he could turn over a new leaf, but if not, I wouldn't mind continuing to use other means to make money.

That night, Ye Xingluo, having temporarily shed her scripted character, thought a lot.

He reminisced about his short life.

As the eldest son of the Ye family, Ye Xingluo was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. From the day he was born, he was destined to be the center of attention and showered with love.

Before the age of ten, he enjoyed the doting love of his parents, grandparents, maternal grandparents, and all the elders in his family.

During his childhood, Ye Xingluo never knew what sorrow was; he lived a free, unrestrained, and willful life.

Ye Xingluo lay on the cat cage, wagging her tail to separate herself from the cage, and earnestly recalled that period of her life from an outsider's perspective.

Willful and selfish, they must get what they like, whether by acting cute or getting angry, both methods are simple and effective.

As a child, I had no concept of right or wrong; whatever I wanted was always right!

The happy life ended with the unexpected death of her mother and the decline of her maternal grandparents' family.

At her mother's funeral, Ye Xingluo learned that she had a half-brother named Ye Xingchen, who was only one year younger than her.

My father couldn’t wait to bring my mother back after she was buried.

The younger brother, who was born out of wedlock, was clever-talking and smooth-talking.

Deeply grieving over his mother's death, he became arrogant and prickly, never giving anyone a kind look.

Thus, Ye Xingchen seized the opportunity and quickly stole all the favor that originally belonged to him.

Even his father liked him more than himself.

Faced with an increasingly strict and impatient father, Ye Xingluo was unable to accept it and became even more self-destructive, causing everyone to be extremely disappointed in her.

He only learned the reason when he was killed by Ye Xingchen many years later.

What appeared to be a happy family back then was actually rife with undercurrents.

While the mother was pregnant, the lonely father had an affair with a beautiful new female secretary in the office and they had a child.

When Ye Xingluo's mother found out, she remained outwardly calm but secretly had her confidant force the woman who wanted to take the opportunity to rise in status to her death. Originally, she wanted to kill the illegitimate child together, but various coincidences allowed him to escape.

At this point, the rift between the seemingly loving parents became irreparable.

Even the accident that befell Ye Xingluo's mother and the decline of her maternal grandfather's family were orchestrated by her father.

Besides seeking revenge for the dead Red Rose, the most important thing was to absorb all of her family's assets into the Ye family.

At the age of thirteen, Ye Xingluo, who was already beset by internal and external troubles and was being ostracized, faced another threat.

The philandering father reunited with his first love, who was still unmarried, at an event at his alma mater. The two fell deeply in love and soon married her.

The new Mrs. Ye failed to give the Ye family a son or daughter, but she brought with her a nephew from her maternal family—Yang Qingwei.

He is said to be her brother's son. His parents died in a car accident when he was still an infant, so his only aunt treated him as her own son.

Yang Qingwei is one year older than Ye Xingluo and inherited his aunt's good qualities; he has a sweet tongue and knows how to coax people.
