The General’s Cat (4)
---
Shen Zhifan pulled out a piece of tissue, dabbed it in water, and anxiously started cleaning the pretty cat’s small face.
“Are you sick?” Shen Zhifan grabbed a small paw and rubbed it. After he finished wiping the cat’s face clean he kissed its forehead again, carefully examining the little pink nose. He thought aloud, “Should we go to the hospital?”
The cat turned its head to the side. It seemed a little embarrassed to look at him.
Shen Zhifan suddenly realised that his upper half was still exposed. Although the other party was only a cat, he still felt an indescribable sense of embarrassment. Thinking it over, he put on the white shirt from before.
“I’d better send you back first.”
He did up his buttons as he looked into the mirror, only leaving the cat a rear view of his tall figure.
It blinked slowly, half-lying down as it watched him. Luckily, it was now in its cat form, so what’d happened just then wouldn’t be too humiliating.
If it was in its original form...that would’ve been far from good.
In his mind, he suddenly thought of that small planet full of metal storms, with dust and sand filling the whole sky, the smell of flesh and blood filling the air…within this nightmare, a figure had appeared.
The figure then had been much slimmer, but it was still the body of this young man, wearing just a plain white shirt, appearing from within the chaos.
He still remembered that, back then, he’d inadvertently glimpsed the other’s fair, white neck, different from the dull white of his shirt. This shade of white was more beautiful, with a sleek lustre. In the centre of airborne sand and dust, he seemed to radiate his own light...Since that first glance, it was impossible to get him out of his mind.
Between flickering light and sweeping shadows, seven years had passed.
When Shen Zhifan scooped the cat into his hold, it finally withdrew its gaze. It obediently lay in the youth’s embrace and couldn’t help but look at the spot that haunted its mind.
His neck was still as fair and slender as before. The cat stared, unable to resist certain impulses; for instance, taking advantage of his current form since it would be quite easy to steal a bite or something like that.
Biting gently on the soft and smooth skin, the other’s brows would crease, so much so that he would part his lips, perhaps letting out a light hiss. Then, following up with a little suck that would leave a mottled red mark on the originally white neck...
Unfortunately, it had underestimated the length of its own paws in its calculations. After unsuccessfully mounting a sneak attack, it almost fell from the other’s arms, eventually getting suspended in a rather ridiculous position in Shen Zhifan’s embrace.
It heard Shen Zhifan laugh gently. The more carefree the laughter, the cuter it was, and as the cat listened, its heart itched, even though the laughter was obviously mocking its movements just then.
Thus, fuming, it buried its face into the other person’s chest and couldn’t resist sniffing his body.
Warm fingertips tenderly stroked its body, comforting it.
Ah, being a cat was really good.
Even as an esteemed General, he would occasionally have these kinds of lazy thoughts.
...
Shen Zhifan excitedly arrived at his neighbour’s door, carrying the cat. Upon pressing the doorbell and realising no one was in, he was very disappointed.
Could it be that it wasn’t the male god’s cat?
Shen Zhifan, a little doubtful, gently set the cat down, thinking that it should be able to distinguish its owner’s home by itself.
Yet the kitty just rubbed itself against the hem of his pants, unwilling to move otherwise.
Shen Zhifan wanted to laugh but on the other hand, he felt somewhat distressed. Picking the cat up again, he scratched its chin. “Kitty, you have to go home.”
As he was racking his brains, several male voices drifted from the side. Since the building was constructed in the style of a villa, he could not see the other people from his angle.
“This Princess Olivia is really too good, the special guards have already been dispatched for twenty hours, but they haven’t even seen a shadow…”
“Didn’t she do it for that little pretty boy? I saw that Lieutenant General’s complexion hasn’t been good these past few days, it’s definitely because these things are annoying him…”
“I really can’t bear this, how about we just find out that pretty boy’s address and go teach him a lesson! It’s too outrageous to bully our General like this, isn’t it because our General is too polite? If it were me, I really wouldn’t be able to bear it!”
“Alright, let’s –”
‘Pretty boy’ Shen Zhifan: “...”
Shen Zhifan looked somewhat awkwardly at the two youths who’d just turned the corner, their expressions frozen.
The two young men recognised him almost immediately. Caught in a deadlock for a while, they swallowed, seeing the embarrassment in each other’s eyes.
One of them, who had a little more guts, cleared his throat. Without changing his face or tone of voice, he spoke: “Hello, may I ask what brings you here?”
Shen Zhifan almost blurted out “I’m the pretty boy”, but held himself back. Shen Zhifan’s temper actually wasn’t that bad, he didn’t feel much when he was talked about like this. He just laughed lightly, rocking the cat in his arms a little.
“I’m a neighbour. I recently moved in next door, and suddenly there was a cat in my home. There aren’t many residents here, so I wanted to ask if this cat is from General Yan’s place.”
The two youths looked at each other.
——Oh no, they’re already neighbours, how can our esteemed General tolerate it?
——I think this pretty boy will be done for sooner or later, we don’t need to do anything anymore.
——En.
