Chapter 320: Do you think this cat can’t hear you?

“Wait, wait, this cat just misspoke, I can still eat it. Young Miss, go get the butter and milk.”

Li Li hurriedly spoke upon hearing this. He was just casually saying it, he didn’t actually say he wouldn’t eat it, why was she taking it so seriously?

“That’s more like it. It’s good enough that you have something to eat, you little rascal, don’t always let your mouth run wild.” Yuan Ni said exasperatedly after hearing this, and walked out of the room.

“What do you mean? This cat was just making a normal request.” Li Li muttered involuntarily, then began to eat the cat food cautiously, fearing that he would accidentally finish it all, and then she would nag him again.

“It’s fine if you take milk in there, but why are you taking butter in there too?” Yuan Ni’s Mother, who was cooking, asked when she saw Yuan Ni open the refrigerator door and take out milk and butter.

“Of course it’s to season the cat food for the cat. Mom, look how pitiful the cat is, eating these tasteless things all day, he’s almost lost weight.” Yuan Ni, holding the butter and milk, said, even adding exaggerated gestures.

Yuan Ni’s Mother couldn’t help but roll her eyes and say: “Will that little fatty starve and lose weight? It’s a good thing if he loses weight. Don’t feed him so much greasy stuff.”

“Oh, oh, I’ll be careful. Then I’ll go in first, Mom.” Seeing that her deception had failed, Yuan Ni immediately planned to slip away.

“Wait a minute, are you really planning to give him such a big piece of butter to eat? Aren’t you afraid of fattening him to death? Just cut a small piece from it, okay?” Yuan Ni’s Mother reminded her.

This fatty was already fat enough, and if they gave him so much to eat, wouldn’t he be fattened to death?

“Got it, Mom. I’ll feed him less, you can rest assured.” Yuan Ni hurriedly replied upon hearing this, and went into the room with her things.

Li Li, who was eating dry cat food, was stunned when he saw her, and said: “Young Miss, can you please stop rushing in and out like that? You’re making me lose count of my cat food again.”

“You have nothing better to do after eating, so you’re counting cat food? Is counting cat food that much fun?” Yuan Ni couldn’t help but scold upon hearing this.

This little guy was really interesting, having nothing to do after eating, playing with counting cat food.

“Of course it’s not fun. Didn’t Young Miss tell me to take it slow when I eat?” Li Li said, pawing at the cat food: “Otherwise, this cat would only be counting this stuff for fun if he was full.”

She had the nerve to say that, wasn’t this all her idea? Otherwise, why would he be counting this?

“I just told you to take it slow when you eat, not to eat it all, I didn’t tell you to count it.” Yuan Ni said with a laugh after hearing this, and squatted down beside Li Li: “Okay, okay, you don’t need to count it foolishly anymore, I’ll help you serve it, okay?”

“Sure, remember to serve more.” Li Li said with a smile, and sat down to watch Yuan Ni pour the cat food.

This made Yuan Ni laugh and scold him for being a cunning devil, then she cut off a small piece of butter and mixed it into the cat food.

Li Li nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, then stretched out his paw and patted the fresh milk, saying: “Young Miss, and this too, don’t forget to pour this down.”

“Got it, you little rascal, you have quite the discerning taste.” Yuan Ni said with a laugh upon hearing this, and poured the milk into the cat food. She scooped it up with a small spoon and said: “Eat, you little rascal. Your butter and milk soaked cat food is ready.”

“Oh, oh, thank you, Young Miss.” Li Li replied upon hearing this, and started to eat.

“Xiao Li, why are you back? Didn’t you go to work?” Yuan Ni’s Mother was surprised to see Li Hao back.

Didn’t he just leave? Why was he back so soon?

“Yes, but I was halfway there when the company called and said we have the day off.” Li Hao, being asked, helplessly spread his hands and said: “So I could only come back.”

“Is that so? Then it seems your company is very unreliable, they couldn’t have notified you earlier, they only notified you after you ran out.”

Yuan Ni’s Mother said sympathetically upon hearing this.

It was snowing so heavily outside, this poor child ran out early in the morning. As a result, the company told him he didn’t have to work. There was nothing more unlucky than this.

“Yes, but there’s nothing I can do about it, who am I but a worker?” Li Hao nodded, his eyes glancing at the living room and said: “Auntie, is Li Li back? I just saw him walking home on the road.”

“He’s back, that fatty is in the girl’s room now.” Yuan Ni’s Mother pointed to Yuan Ni’s room and said.

“Really? That’s good, I’m relieved to hear he’s back.” Li Hao nodded involuntarily upon hearing this: “Then I’ll go up first, Auntie, you go ahead and get busy.”

“Mm.” Yuan Ni’s Mother smiled, and Li Hao went upstairs.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Ni’s Mother couldn’t help but say: “What a good young man, how come the girl doesn’t like him?”

“Meow, meow, Big Sister, my Litter Shovel Officer is back.” At the same time, in the room, Li Li paused while licking the milk.

“Really? So are you planning to go back after you’ve finished eating and drinking here?” Yuan Ni asked upon hearing this.

“What kind of talk is that? Young Miss, I’m just telling you a fact, and I also heard Auntie praising my Litter Shovel Officer again.” Li Li explained. Why did she keep saying he was here to eat and drink for free? He wasn’t at all, okay?

“My mom has said it more than once, didn’t you know?” Yuan Ni said exasperatedly upon hearing this.

“Really? Maybe this cat didn’t notice before.” Li Li muttered upon hearing this, looking at Yuan Ni and continuing: “Also, Auntie was complaining about how you don’t like my Litter Shovel Officer.”

“Isn’t that a simple reason? We’re not compatible.” Yuan Ni said, stroking Li Li’s big head: “As a cat, you shouldn’t worry about so many things, you know? Just eat your food obediently.”

“Oh, oh.” Li Li nodded his big head upon hearing this, and stopped caring, concentrating on his food.

“That glutton Li Li ran to someone else’s room to eat again, even though his own house has so much good food, right?” Li Hao, returning to his room, said helplessly.

It was fine if Li Li ran around while he was at work, but now he was home and still ran to someone else’s room to eat. He had bought a lot of delicious food, freeze-dried food, cat food, cat treats, and canned cat food, all of it!

Why did he still run around? Could it be that the food at home didn’t smell as good as the food outside? It was really giving him a headache. He hoped Li Li would come up soon.

He hadn’t petted a cat for a long time, and now he felt like his cat addiction was acting up.

“Slurp, slurp”

“Slurp, slurp”

Just then, a strange sound suddenly came from outside. Li Hao glanced over casually and saw the Yellow Weasel shaking its body, covered in snow.

“It’s really hell this year, why is it suddenly snowing so heavily? I’ve never seen it like this before, right? Could it be that this damn weather is really affected by some greenhouse effect?” The Yellow Weasel, shaking its body, couldn’t help but say, then it saw a gaze staring at it from inside the room.

After discovering it was Li Hao, it immediately greeted him: “Hello, Mr. Li Hao, you didn’t go to work?”

“No, the heavy snow has blocked the roads. The company told us to stay home and rest.” Li Hao said with a smile.

“So that’s how it is? Then Mr. Li Hao, you have a good rest, I won’t disturb you.” The Yellow Weasel said, and was about to leave.

“Wait, didn’t you come to find Li Li? Are you leaving now?” Li Hao said upon seeing this.

“Uh, I came to find the Great King. But the Great King isn’t here, is he?” The Yellow Weasel replied upon hearing this. He had come to find the Great King, that was right, but he didn’t see the Great King here.

“Who said he’s not here? Li Li is downstairs right now, he’ll be up later, you have to wait here for a while.” Li Hao said carefully, and sat up from the bed.

“Really? Then I’ll wait here for the Great King to come back.” The Yellow Weasel, hearing this, immediately stopped its body that was about to leave.

“Mm, it’s windy and cold outside, don’t stay outside, you can come in, it’s warmer inside than outside.” Li Hao beckoned upon seeing this.

“Okay, thank you, Mr. Li Hao.” The Yellow Weasel, hearing this, walked in without thinking too much.

Li Hao, seeing this, happily approached: “You haven’t shaken off all the snow on your body, I’ll help you with it.”

“I… Is that so? Then I’ll trouble Mr. Li Hao.” The Yellow Weasel said gratefully upon hearing this, not thinking too much about it.

“You’re welcome, you’re Li Li’s little brother. That means you’re related to me, so it’s only natural that I take care of you.” Li Hao said with a smile, patting the snow on the Yellow Weasel’s body, and restlessly started petting the Yellow Weasel.

“Mr. Li Hao, there’s no more snow on my body, you don’t have to pat me anymore.” The Yellow Weasel, feeling the tingling sensation on its head and body, said, feeling a little overwhelmed.

This was a feeling it had never experienced before, it was really terrifying.

“I see your fur is a little split, let me smooth it out. I do the same for Li Li.” Li Hao said with a smile. This little Huang felt so good to pet, completely different from Li Li, and it felt slippery. Indeed, all things could be petted.

“I… Is that so? Then, sir, be gentle, I’m not used to this yet.” The Yellow Weasel couldn’t help but say upon hearing this.

Since the Great King liked it like this, there must be a reason.

“Don’t worry, I’m a master cat petter, I know what I’m doing. You just relax and enjoy it, don’t think too much.” Li Hao said with a smile, stroking the Yellow Weasel’s small head, making the Yellow Weasel’s eyes gradually glaze over.

Li Li, who was going upstairs, was stunned when he saw this:

“Meow, meow, you guys are quite fancy, huh?”

“Ah! Great King.” The Yellow Weasel, whose butt was raised high from being petted, hurriedly broke free from Li Hao’s hand when it heard this.

It felt like it had been caught red-handed, the whole weasel was extremely nervous. After all, Li Hao was the Great King’s Litter Shovel Officer, and now it had made a big mistake by doing this.

“Li Li, you’re here. I was grooming Xiao Huang’s fur, do you want to come over too?” Compared to the Yellow Weasel, Li Hao seemed much calmer.

After all, Li Li ran to the girl’s room every day, and he didn’t say anything. He was just petting Xiao Huang, there was nothing wrong with that.

“Forget it, I’m not interested in this, you go ahead and play with Xiao Huang.” Li Li, being asked, shook his head and said to the nervous Yellow Weasel: “Relax, don’t be so nervous, I won’t do anything to you, I’m just looking.”

“I’m actually quite happy that you can play with the Litter Shovel Officer, so I don’t have to be with him all the time.”

Look at how scared this little guy was, was it necessary to be so afraid?

“Y-yes.” Xiao Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Great, the Great King didn’t blame him, he was really scared just now.

“Li Li, aren’t you surprised to see me back?” Li Hao asked curiously when he saw Li Li sit down on the chair by himself.

Wasn’t Li Li surprised to see him in the room? After all, they had met outside not long ago, when he was rushing to work.

“What’s so surprising about that? You’re just not going to work because of the heavy snow blocking the roads, right?” Li Li said nonchalantly upon hearing this, showing an expression of “you think you can fool me with this little trick?”.

“Ah? Why do you know that so clearly, Li Li?” Li Hao’s smile froze on his face, completely surprised that he would know.

“It’s very simple, because this cat happened to hear it when you were talking to Auntie.” Li Li said with a smile, spinning the gaming chair with his tail.

Did the Litter Shovel Officer want to attract his interest with such a low-level method? Then he was wrong, he wasn’t a cat that was easily fooled, and it was just a door away, did he think he couldn’t hear him talking in the living room?

“So that’s how it is, I thought how could you possibly know that?” Li Hao said suddenly realizing upon hearing this.

He thought how could Li Li possibly know that clearly, it turned out he was eavesdropping.

“Of course this cat doesn’t have that ability, but it’s not impossible if I work hard.” Li Li said with a smile upon hearing this.

Wasn’t it just knowing the future? It wasn’t a very powerful ability, as long as he was willing to spend Comprehensive Network Currency, he could still buy it. Of course, this kind of ability was for suckers.

Who would buy it if it wasn’t absolutely necessary? And what was the use of knowing the future if you didn’t have the ability to change it? It was more practical to use the money to buy the ability to know the future to enhance your strength.

“Really? Then, Li Li, work hard. If we win the lottery, we won’t have to work anymore.” Li Hao couldn’t help but say upon hearing this.

“Come on, don’t think about getting something for nothing, and even if you know, so what? People will still change even if you know.” Li Li said exasperatedly, extending his paw and knocking on Li Hao’s big head: “Don’t just sit there, go practice your skills. You’re always slacking off whenever you have time, when will your martial arts improve?”

“I’m not slacking off, okay? I ran a long way back, Li Li.” Li Hao corrected, grabbing Li Li’s paw.

What did he mean by slacking off? Did he know how early he got up in the morning and how hard he worked to go to work?

“Really? Anyway, I didn’t see it, I only saw you slacking off here now.” Li Li said exasperatedly, and with a force of his paw, Li Hao’s whole body lifted up and floated in mid-air.

“Li Li, what are you trying to do?” Li Hao panicked, feeling the sensation of floating in mid-air.
