The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Greedy cat!" Ye Xingluo, annoyed by the nudging, snapped at the orange cat, "What's the rush? Do you think I'd eat alone? Humph!"

He licked his lips contentedly, then gracefully raised his head to leave the remaining half-box of cat food to the impatient orange cat.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well done, very manly!"

Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness; you really should treat them well.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Ye Xingluo bared her teeth in anger, meowing fiercely at him, "If you bring this up again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Alright, alright, stop scolding me." Jiang Chen laughed and opened another box of the new flavor of cat food. "You two have eaten and drunk your fill. You can try it again tonight..."

Seeing that Ye Xingluo had already stuck out her cat paws, he took his phone and went back to the bedroom, locking the door behind him.

Jiang Chen ordered a grilled fish for the little white cat from the food maker, and ordered a set meal for himself. The two cats, who had finished their cat food and smelled the grilled fish, meowed outside the door for a while.

Three days passed quickly, filled with a fulfilling, busy, yet ordinary life.

Ye Xingluo, who received a heartfelt compliment from Ji Jiangchen early that morning, finally accumulated enough points to unlock the first main quest!

Main Quest: Investigate the case of the missing stray dogs.

Countless question marks floated above Ye Xingluo's head. Was it really that simple?

The task posting is completely random; where did the stray dog ​​go missing?

I'm just a little kitten, why should I stand up for those stupid dogs?

"What's wrong? Having some cat-related troubles?" Jiang Chen asked jokingly after putting on his coat. "I'm going to work now, do you want to come with me?"

After a few days of getting to know each other, the relationship between the person and the cat has begun to ease.

Most importantly, the protagonist seems to have really started to focus on his career and has stopped flirting with the beautiful woman across the street!

Jiang Chen felt that this matter needed to be observed further.

Who knows if he stopped thinking with his testicles for a while after venting his anger that day, or if he was completely pulled back to his original persona and stopped taking the domineering CEO route?

If it falls into the former category, and then after a while they start having ulterior motives again, then I'll have to use tough measures!

"Meow..." Ye Xingluo responded with a helpless look.

This isn't just a cat's existential dilemma, this is a cat's existential challenge!

Are we going to take a stroll in the territory of stray dogs?

Having lost the advantage of spoilers, Jiang Chen could clearly tell that the protagonist was in some trouble, but he didn't know exactly what was going on. So, when they parted, he could only remind him, "The collar you're wearing is custom-made. If you're in danger, press the switch on the cat tag, and my phone will receive a distress signal."

"Got it! Thanks!" Ye Xingluo barked arrogantly without turning her head, and even raised her front paws and waved.

The little white cat was very displeased upon seeing this, "Tch! What kind of behavior is that!"

"There shouldn't be any major problems." Jiang Chen opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and started the car. "If I become the target of your affections, the main system will issue me a mission, right?"

The fluffy little dumpling scratched its ear embarrassedly, "Host, I've reported to the main system, and the reply I received was that there's a task and I need to wait patiently."

Then I posted a question on the forum.

The experts all said they'd never encountered a situation like ours before.

They discussed it enthusiastically for a long time, but couldn't reach a conclusion. However, most systems believed that you were very likely to be turned gay by the protagonist... so the main system would probably give you some kind of "that" task!

Jiang Chen: (￣□￣；)

We really need to think of a good solution!

Or... how about we consider using a cheesy little white fluffy dumpling to castrate the protagonist?

I never imagined that this seemingly ordinary mission world would be so full of dangers!

"Achoo!" Ye Xingluo suddenly sneezed while walking. He shook his head and muttered, "What's going on? I suddenly feel a bit cold down there? Is it not a good day to go out?"

He has been fused with the body of the big black cat for several days now, and he has gradually gotten used to the feline nature within him. He doesn't feel ashamed or embarrassed when he occasionally does some feline-specific actions.

For example, right now, he is lying on his side against a low wall, slowly licking the fur on his belly with his right hind leg raised, while waiting to tease that big silly dog ​​to complete its daily task.

Chapter Sixteen: The Missing Stray Dog

"sweet dumpling!"

A slightly childish voice rang out not far away. Ye Xinglu looked up and saw that it was indeed the little girl who had been attacked by the vicious dog that day.

Since accidentally saving her, he suddenly became famous online, and these past few days he has been frequently encountered by bored guys who are pointing their phones at him and taking pictures.

Ye Xinglu scoffed at the idea of ​​feeding someone a little cheap cat food, then expecting them to pet themselves and then shouting in the video for their friends and family to follow them.

The little girl who was rescued is quite nice; she greets me every day on her way to school.

Her mother specifically instructed her not to feed her anything indiscriminately, fearing that it might cause gastrointestinal discomfort if it didn't suit her taste.

After all, it's a domestic cat, so it's not a problem to eat and drink its fill; it doesn't need any extra feeding.

But the little girl's mother brought her to express her gratitude, and Ji Jiangchen left some small gifts on her behalf, which Ye Xingluo didn't care about and gave to the orange cat Doubao instead.

"Tangyuan, I'm going to school now. Did you have fun today?" After greeting her, the little girl ran to her grandmother's side and walked slowly with her.

Grandma kept nagging her to stay away from the cat, saying that if she got scratched, she'd have to get a rabies shot...

"You big idiot, why aren't you coming yet!" Ye Xinglu put her legs down and walked back and forth on the wall a couple of times out of boredom.

Seeing a strange stray dog ​​disappear into the roadside bushes from afar, he immediately jumped down from the wall, ready to tease the newcomer!

Behind the bushes is a dense green forest.

In early spring, some flowers have just finished blooming and are growing lush new green leaves; others are still in full bloom, their branches bending under the weight of their blossoms.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

As soon as she got close, she heard a deep howl that was typical of dogs. Ye Xinglu quickened her pace and crawled into the bushes, but instead smelled a faint scent of meat!

No wonder the stray dogs rushed inside; someone must have fed them some meat.

Driven by curiosity, and ignoring the branches and leaves brushing against his body, he followed the trail.

There were some remnants under the dense branches, which looked like some kind of braised meat.

Ye Xingluo sniffed it and gave a disdainful look.

The quality is only good enough to fool stray dogs; I wouldn't be tempted to eat it myself.

“That’s strange…” Ye Xingluo clearly heard rustling sounds, but when she followed the sound through the dense greenery to another road, she couldn’t find the stray dog.

He looked around and saw a slightly worn-out minivan slowly turning the corner.

"A stray dog ​​disappearance case?" Ye Xingluo was about to turn back when she suddenly became alert!

He took off chasing after the van. A few minutes later, Ye Xingluo stood dumbfounded at the busy intersection. Where the hell was he going to find it?

"You useless domestic brat, what are you standing there for? Get out of here, this is my territory!"

Just as he was feeling irritable, an unfriendly meow came from the flower bed behind him.

Ye Xingluo turned her head and saw a dirty tabby cat with a scar on its face.

The scarred cat arrogantly brandished its sharp claws at him and continued to threaten, "I'll give you half a minute to disappear from this street!"

"You?" Ye Xingluo looked disdainful.

How could a domineering CEO not have received professional training?

After all, in novels, black belts in Taekwondo, Jeet Kune Do champions, and even elite soldiers are all standard features of domineering CEOs, so dealing with a stray cat is just a matter of course.

Without further ado, Ye Xingluo leaped forward, scratching and clawing.

The protagonist's aura was more than enough to handle this small situation, and within two minutes, Scarface Cat was begging for mercy.

"Hero, spare my life! I just want to make a living around here, please stop hitting me!"

The scarred cat had several scratches on its body, and clumps of fur had been pulled out and were fluttering in the wind, making it look very pitiful.

Ye Xinglu stopped clawing and snorted coldly, "You usually hang out on this street?"

"Pretty much. I also go for a stroll on the two streets next door from time to time." Scarface Cat thought for a moment and whispered, "The street in front used to be occupied by two stray dogs, but I haven't seen them for the last two days."

The stray cats in the neighborhood all want to take over that street. You're so amazing, could you do me a favor?

He immediately grasped the key point: "The stray dogs are gone? Do you know where they went?"

"I don't know, cats don't get involved in dogs' affairs."

They are fierce and ugly, so it is unlikely that they will be taken in by anyone;

They were probably chased away by drunk humans;

"They might have been hit by a car and died. Those two dogs never look at the cars when they cross the road..." Scarface Cat was plotting how to continue his grand scheme. He was hoping to drag this domesticated dog to his side and dominate the two streets in no time!

Especially since there are so many restaurants and food stalls on that street, if we can take over those, we'll never have to worry about food and drink again!

Ye Xingluo pondered, "Let's just call it 'missing dog's mouth' for now, and see if we can find a breakthrough."

"Do you know where I can get information? Someone who's well-informed about the area." He figured that since these stray animals were fighting for territory, there must be quite a few roaming around the city, and maybe they could find the information he wanted.

Without a second thought, Scarface Cat clapped his paws and exclaimed, "Of course there is!"

They know everything, not just in the neighborhood, but throughout most of the city!

"Lead the way." Ye Xingluo was ruthless and didn't say much.

Seeing its aloof demeanor, Scarface Cat didn't dare to approach it casually and had to take it to find "Little Smarty" first.

I walked through two streets and squeezed through a wooden fence covered with roses. Before I even got close, I heard a deep voice.

Is it this? Is it this?

"Yes! That's right! It's that damn kitten!"

"He's quite handsome."

"Handsome my foot!"

……

Ye Xingluo looked up and saw an exquisite bird perch hanging on the tree.

Two brightly colored red-breasted parrots were perched on it, sizing each other up and chatting animatedly.

"I heard you guys are very well-informed?" he asked, meowing.
