Chapter 253: This Cat is Busy! Don’t Bother This Cat If You Don’t Have Food

“It’s probably a hunger storm.” Miao Miaoqing shrugged her shoulders after hearing this. “You know this guy, you can’t see him if he’s not hungry. He must be starving to come here.”

“That’s true, after all, he’s a gluttonous cat.” Liu Weiqiu nodded, and after helping to carry the cat food into the counter, she came to the students who were lining up, intending to see how much weight this chubby guy had gained recently.

“Eyes wide like copper bells, shooting out lightning-fast wit, ears standing up like antennas~” The student petting Li Li’s big head sang as she kneaded Li Li restlessly.

Li Li, who was eating, couldn’t help but be filled with black lines:

“Meow~（I’m a tabby cat, not a black cat, you’re singing to the wrong one. You should go find Xiao Hei lying over there. ）”

Singing “Black Cat Sheriff” in front of him? What a clever little ghost.

“Wenwen, Fatty Li is a tabby cat, don’t sing the ‘Black Cat Sheriff’ song to him. And look at his lazy posture, how are his eyes wide like copper bells?” The companion next to her couldn’t help but say.

Fatty Li is so fat, his eyes are almost squeezed shut by the fat, right?

“Meow~（If you can’t speak, you can just stay silent, okay? How are my big eyes not like copper bells?” Li Li immediately became unhappy upon hearing this.

Although his eyelids were drooping, he wasn’t a small-eyed cat. What did the other party mean?

“Look, Fatty Li isn’t even eating. He’s showing his support for me.” Seeing Li Li’s actions, the girl continued.

“Meow~（I support your lollipop, I just want to say you’re talking nonsense. ）” Li Li rolled his eyes and said.

“Where? Fatty Li meows ‘meow meow’, not ‘meow woo meow woo’. That proves he’s not cursing.” The girl denied it flatly upon hearing this. Then the voices of others came from behind:

“If you two are done feeding Fatty Li, can you move aside? We’re still waiting here.”

“Yeah, don’t hog Fatty Li. Let us feed him too, okay?”

They finally got to squat down and see Fatty Li, whom they hadn’t seen for a long time, but the two of them kept talking here. After they were done feeding and petting him, they should at least let them have a turn!

“Sorry! Sorry! Fatty Li’s fur is just so soft, we accidentally forgot to move aside.”

“Yeah, we’ll move, we’ll move.” The two apologized as they moved away from Li Li. At the same time, they didn’t forget to remind Li Li:

“Fatty Li, remember to come tomorrow, we’ll come back to play with you tomorrow.”

“Yeah, Fatty Li, don’t run around.”

“Meow~（If this cat has time, I’ll naturally come over. ）” Li Li waved his paw and said upon hearing this, and then three boys with shining eyes appeared in front of him.

“Fatty Li, long time no see, I have to give you a good petting this time.” The boy said, rubbing his restless hands. A lewd expression appeared on his face.

“That’s right, last time you ran away after eating a sausage from me, you didn’t even let me touch your fur, this time you have to pay back double.” The companion next to him also said, reaching for Li Li’s paw.

“Right, me too. Fatty Li, hurry up and lie down.” The last one nodded and reached for Li Li’s belly.

Then, their hands were swatted away by Li Li.

“Meow~（Do you know the rules of the Jianghu? Reaching out your hands just like that. Cat sticks, canned food, cat food, none of them are offered up, and you want to freeload? Believe it or not, this cat will beat you black and blue?” Li Li pointed at the empty cans and cat food on the table, looking at the three lewd-faced boys.

The three boys whose hands were swatted away couldn’t help but complain:

“Ugh, this bad guy Fatty Li doesn’t give food and just attacks, he’s too mercenary.”

“Yeah, this isn’t how a good cat should behave.”

“That’s right, but we still have to give him cans and cat sticks. Otherwise, he won’t let us pet him.”

“Then let’s give it to him. Once we get our hands on him, won’t we be able to knead him however we want?”

“Exactly, this naive Fatty Li.” The other two said, rubbing their hands as they reached towards Li Li.

However, because they offered up tributes this time, Li Li didn’t punish them according to the rules of the Jianghu.

Seeing this, Liu Weiqiu, who was squeezed on the edge, immediately started talking to the students holding cans, cat sticks, and cat food:

“Hello everyone, Fatty Li has already eaten three cans, two cat sticks, and two portions of cat food.”

“If he keeps eating like this, it will be harmful to his health. So can you all give me the cat sticks, cans, and cat food in your hands?”

“Of course, we don’t want to take these for ourselves, we will record them in the ledger. Next time you come and want to feed Fatty Li, you can just cross it off and take them.”

“Record it?” The students were stunned upon hearing this, then looked at the food in each other’s hands. Then they nodded one after another:

“Okay, then record it. Fatty Li is indeed a bit fat now, for the sake of his health, we should indeed control his food intake.”

“Yeah, I don’t want to see Fatty Li really fat like a kiwi fruit and unable to walk, it’s not good for his health, I heard that cats being overweight will also shorten their lifespan.”

“Yes, so that Fatty Li can live longer, everyone take the food to the counter.”

“Meow~（Wait a minute, wait a minute, you bought this for this cat to eat, right? I didn’t say I couldn’t eat anymore, where are you taking my food?” Li Li, who was eating, immediately jumped down with a “swoosh” upon hearing this.

The three who were petting him only felt like they were touching air. Then they looked and found that it was empty in front of them.

And the protagonist they were petting had already jumped onto the counter, ready to take back his food.

“Fatty Li, what are you doing? You’ve already eaten so much, don’t you feel full?”

“We’re not saying we won’t let you eat, you know? It’s just that you’ve eaten too much this time, if you eat any more, you’ll be full to the brim.”

Seeing Li Li, who was trying to eat on the spot, blocking in front of them, Miao Miaoqing quickly reached out and hugged Li Li, not giving him a chance to steal food.

Seeing this, Liang Tiantian, who was on the side, also quickly pounced on him, holding down Li Li’s ferocious mouth.

“Nonsense! This little bit of food isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between this cat’s teeth, let alone fill me up. You two quickly let me go, otherwise after recording this, who knows which cat’s belly this food will end up in?” Li Li, who was being held by the two and kept away from the counter, was utterly frustrated.

The duck that was served on the table flapped its wings and flew away. Where could he go to reason?

The key was that these guys still thought he was full, which made him speechless. If he wasn’t afraid of scaring them, he would have to reason with them.

“Fatty Li, stop struggling, these are all yours, it’s just a matter of time, don’t be so excited, okay?” Feeling the strength of Li Li’s struggles, Miao Miaoqing had to try to appease him.

“Yeah, we promise these are all yours, even if someone doesn’t claim them for you, we’ll give them to you, okay?” Liang Tiantian also said.

“Meow~（You promised this, right? Then if you don’t give it to this cat next time, this cat will come looking for trouble. ）” Li Li finally stopped struggling upon hearing this.

Liang Tiantian and Miao Miaoqing both breathed a sigh of relief after feeling this: “This Fatty Li is really cunning, we couldn’t appease him without promising him.”

“Who says it isn’t? This chubby guy is quite scheming. But at least we managed to handle it this time.”

“Fatty Li, you’ve been caught, right? Then I won’t be polite.” Seeing Li Li being held, the nearest student immediately came up. His hands unsteadily reached for Li Li’s tail: “Don’t scratch me, I’m telling you I’ve already paid for the food, it’s just recorded on the account.”

“But if you want to eat, you can ask them, just cross it off my account.”

“Meow~（That depends on whether they’re willing to give it. This cat can’t even eat a little more.” Li Li complained, patting Liang Tiantian’s arm: “Meow~（I’m saying you’ve touched enough, shouldn’t you let go of my hand? I’m not struggling anymore. ）”

Just now when he was struggling, it was fine for her to hold him so tightly, but now that he wasn’t struggling, why was she still holding him so tightly? Was she trying to take advantage of him?

“Fatty Li, what’s wrong? Do you want me to pet you?” Liang Tiantian asked after looking at Li Li’s eyes.

“Meow~（Do you think that’s possible? I’m telling you to put me down. ）” Li Li pointed his paw at the ground.

Liang Tiantian finally understood: “So this chubby guy wants to come down, I thought you wanted to do something.”

This Fatty Li was really smart, he actually told her to put him down in this way.

“Meow~（So can you put this cat down? You guys don’t provide food here, you can’t just let me be freeloaded on, right?）” Li Li said with a disgruntled look, his two paws paddling like he was swimming.

“Alright, alright, don’t be upset, we’ll put you down, okay?” Liang Tiantian, who was holding Li Li, smiled and said to Miao Miaoqing, who was secretly petting Li Li’s big belly: “Qingqing, put this chubby guy down, he’s getting impatient from being held.”

“Really? Without food to keep him steady, this guy’s patience is really terrible.” Miao Miaoqing laughed after hearing this, putting Li Li down from her arms.

And as soon as Li Li landed on the ground, a group of people surrounded him again:

“Fatty Li, don’t run around, okay? Be good and let us pet you here.”

“Yeah, we all bought food for you. Don’t run away.”

Fatty Li was a cat known for eating and running, if they didn’t block him here, he wouldn’t hesitate to run away.

“Meow~（You said you bought food for me, then may I ask where the food is? This night cat sees you empty-handed, as for the food? This cat hasn’t seen a single hair of it. ）” Li Li, who was surrounded, shook his head, not planning to pay them any attention at all.

He recognized food, not people. A group of guys without food still wanted him to stay? Don’t disturb his begging time, okay? As a cat who begged from hundreds of shops a day, his time was very valuable.

“Fatty Li, they’ve all put their food here, if you run away now, you won’t be able to eat it next time.” Liu Weiqiu reminded him after seeing Li Li looking around, ready to run away at any time.

“Meow~（Even if I come next time, I won’t be able to eat much, and there are so many of them, they’re wasting my time, okay?）” Li Li couldn’t help but pause his steps upon hearing that his food would be gone if he ran away immediately.

But looking at the students around him, he still looked like he wanted to run.

“Fatty Li, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time, just let everyone touch you a little before you go.” Miao Miaoqing also said after seeing this: “Otherwise, everyone brought food and waited for you for so long, how heartbreaking would that be?”

“That’s right, even if you just let everyone touch your paws, it’s too rude to just run away.” Liang Tiantian echoed.

“That’s right, Fatty Li. We like you so much, but you’re planning to run away, won’t your conscience hurt?”

“Exactly! If you do this, our love will be transferred.” The students chimed in after hearing this.

If Fatty Li didn’t give them any explanation today, they would really change their minds.

“Meow~（There’s really nothing I can do about you guys, then I’ll let you shake my paw. ）” Li Li said impatiently, stretching out his paw as if to say “Hurry up”, this cat still has things to do.

Seeing this, Miao Miaoqing immediately said:

“Go ahead and touch it, Fatty Li agreed. But remember not to touch it for too long, this chubby guy can’t stay put without food.”

“Yeah, just touch it a little. Remember not to hold on for too long.” Liu Weiqiu, who knew Li Li’s hunger habits well, also said.

“Don’t worry, we know what we’re doing.”

“Yeah, we won’t make Fatty Li unhappy.”

The students said as they lined up to shake paws with Li Li: “Fatty Li, your paws are so soft, like a soft mangosteen.”

“Yeah, yeah. Fatty Li is really a treasure cat, other cats’ paws aren’t so fleshy.”

“Meow~（So when are you two going to let go? You’re talking and squeezing my paw, how long are you going to keep doing this?）” Li Li, listening to their compliments, wasn’t happy at all. On the contrary, there was mostly impatience in his eyes.

He hadn’t had a single bite of cat food here, and he had to warm up to business here. There was no way his expression would be good.

“That’s enough, you two beauties, let go. Fatty Li is getting impatient.” Seeing Li Li’s drooping eyelids, Liu Weiqiu quickly reminded them.

“Oh, oh.” After hearing this, the two girls finally let go of Li Li’s left and right paws.

“Hehe, it’s finally my turn.” The student who had been waiting impatiently grinned and grabbed Li Li’s paw as soon as it was his turn.

“Meow~（Why are you guys acting like you’ve never seen a cat before? Aren’t there so many next to you? Is it necessary to act like this?）” Li Li was speechless looking at their behavior.

But for the sake of food, he still resisted the urge to claw them. Let them finish touching his paws.

“Fatty Li, can you not leave? Isn’t the cat cafe good enough? There are other cats and so many toys, what are you doing wandering around outside all day?” After a while, after all the students who had petted Li Li stood up, Liu Weiqiu hugged Li Li’s big butt and said.

Why did this bad guy Fatty Li have to leave? Wasn’t her senior working?

Then he should stay in the cat cafe and play, you know they had a lot of toys here. Fatty Li could totally stay until her senior got off work, after all, they had food and drinks here.

It wouldn’t be lacking anything for him, right? Wouldn’t it be better to stay here than go out?

You know, now that the weather was getting colder, it was easy to catch a cold from wandering around outside.

“Meow~（I appreciate your kindness, but staying here without food makes this cat very uncomfortable. This cat is not like them, I don’t like playing with toys, I only like eating, without food, it’s a waste of time. ）” Li Li, hearing this, gently pushed Liu Weiqiu’s hand away with his paw and left with small steps.

Liu Weiqiu looked on with helplessness. Miao Miaoqing, who was on the side, saw this and said:

“Qiqi, tabby cats are all wanderers. You can’t stop him, if it were so easy to stop him, Fatty Li wouldn’t be running around everywhere.”

“Yeah, if Fatty Li could be obedient, he wouldn’t even appear at school, he might still be in the house that senior rented.” Liang Tiantian agreed.

If it were an ordinary house cat, it would stay at home, how could it run around everywhere like Fatty Li?

It was precisely because Fatty Li liked to run around that they could see him on campus.

Otherwise, they might not even know who Fatty Li was now, let alone have experienced so many things.

“I know I can’t keep him, but I still have to try.” Liu Weiqiu sighed.

Sure enough, their relationship with Fatty Li wasn’t deep enough yet. She heard that Sister Yun could even keep Fatty Li overnight.

She didn’t know why, they were all human, but the other party could do it.
