The youth’s hand pressed against the soft belly of the big cat, his eyes fixed on the scene beneath the big cat’s abdomen.
In the absence of stimulation, there were signs of redness and congestion there. There was a sudden change in temperament, severe hair loss, reduced appetite, soft meows, red eyes, abnormal congestion in the lower body.
Every item mentioned by the old man corresponded precisely to the big cat before his eyes.
Slowly releasing the hand pressed against the big cat’s body, Bo Ge slowly retreated, returning to the corner of the wall, silently squatting and drawing circles.
Feeling the hand leaving his body, the big cat did not open his eyes, his whole body tense, waiting for the youth’s next move, expectant… yet nervous.
Maintaining a posture for ten minutes, even the belly began to feel cold, the big cat cautiously opened one eye, but there was no trace of the youth on the bed.
“Hmm?”
The big cat rolled over, shaking his fur, and saw the youth squatting in the corner of the wall.
The black panther leaped off the bed, standing beside the youth in puzzlement, one paw resting on Bo Ge’s shoulder, his voice gentle, “What’s wrong?”
“I want to ask you a few questions.” Bo Ge lowered his head, “There’s no right or wrong, it’s not a test, please answer me honestly.”
The big cat sensed a hint of unusual atmosphere, slowly retracting his paw from Bo Ge’s shoulder, “Okay.”
“Are beastmen only seeking mates and mating during heat, not out of love, right?” Bo Ge turned his face, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
“Mostly.” The big cat lay down beside Bo Ge, his two front paws naturally and elegantly intertwined in front of him, intending to show his noble difference from ordinary beastmen.
“All the behaviors of beastmen during heat are just for survival and mating, right?”
“Correct.” The big cat nodded. This was a common sense question, and you could find the accurate answer with a casual search on the StarNet.
“Many solitary beastmen leave their mates after heat, like leaving without a trace, right?” Bo Ge stared at the big cat.
“…Yes.” The big cat looked into Bo Ge’s eyes, suddenly feeling a sense of impending disaster.
“One last question, are you in heat?”
Like falling into a linguistic trap, the big cat stood up, explaining cautiously, “Although I am in heat, I am aware that I am not simply with you due to physiological needs. I have special feelings for you, and I won’t irresponsibly leave.”
“Now that you’re in heat, you’ll only say things that are beneficial to your mating, just like a male bird singing to attract a female, as long as it sounds good.” Bo Ge suddenly stood up, tightly staring into the big cat’s golden-red leopard eyes.
“Am I right?”
The big cat stood still, shaking his ears anxiously.
“Being cute won’t work either.” Bo Ge grabbed a patch of fur at the back of the big cat’s neck, using both hands to drag the big cat downstairs, “I already know the whole process.”
“During heat, male beastmen would first enter the female’s territory, show goodwill, and when the female agrees, they would mate continuously. But once heat is over, or after the female gives birth, male beastmen would silently leave. And for beasts like tigers and leopards, the characteristics are even more obvious.”
Bo Ge dragged the big cat to the door, “You thought you’ve completed the first step, but let me tell you, you’re wrong!”
Taking a deep breath, Bo Ge threw the big cat out of the door, quickly closed it, and deleted the big cat’s information from the automatic recognition lock.
The big cat, thrown out of the house, landed steadily, turning to re-enter the door, but Bo Ge was faster, locking the villa door.
He was serious.
The golden orb, seeing its owner being thrown out, couldn’t just stand by and floated in front of Bo Ge, “Young master, I can testify for the master, he really…”
“I almost forgot about you.” Bo Ge grabbed the small golden orb, like throwing a shot put, and vigorously threw the small golden orb out of the window, scanning something at the bottom of his eyes, Bo Ge lowered his head, meeting the eyes of the big cat trying to climb the window.
Bo Ge gave a slight smile to the big cat, issuing a voice command, “Close all windows.”
The big cat squatted helplessly at the door, beside it was the equally helpless small golden orb.
“Meow~”
The unique call of the big cat rang out at the door, accompanied by scratching sounds.
Xiao Du stood beside the youth, giving serious advice, “Young master, according to Xiao Du’s calculation, this leopard can scratch through this mixed metal door. I suggest you remove it from the security system so that the patrolling guard robots will forcibly remove it and impose fines or short-term detention.”
Bo Ge glanced at Xiao Du.
“This is the safest approach.” Xiao Du maintained a smile.
This damn leopard, confined for eight years, finally escaped, only to be caught by him, threatened in various ways, imprisoned on this household robot, and now the tables have turned…
“Xiao Du.” Bo Ge stood in front of the household robot, tilting his head up, his two shiny black eyes staring at Xiao Du, “Don’t think just because I’m young, I don’t know anything.”
Xiao Du was taken aback, involuntarily taking a half step back.
“Please refrain from suggesting such things in the future.” The youth patted the robot’s chest, “Consider it for your own sake.”
Bo Ge opened the window closest to the door, and the big cat heard the noise, immediately running to the window, looking up at the youth with pitiful eyes.
“You said you have special feelings for me and won’t leave irresponsibly, right?” Bo Ge leaned against the window sill, asking the big cat.
“Yes.” The big cat nodded quickly.
“But now you’re in heat, and I won’t believe anything you say.” Bo Ge leaned forward, “If you want to prove what you said is true, then find a day when you’re not in heat and tell me your promise.”
Bo Ge believed in the big cat’s usual demeanor as a cat, believing he wouldn’t go back on his word, but he didn’t believe in a big cat whose thoughts were influenced by heat.
Humans are susceptible to emotional influence and may speak lies, promising things they can’t fulfill, let alone beastmen who are not fully mature and are still in heat.
The leopard stood under the window for a long time, its long tail swaying. Bo Ge closed the window again, behind the window, he lowered his head and quietly watched the big cat.
As the sky gradually darkened, Bo Ge set up a free meal for humans, sitting by the window to enjoy it, while the big cat watched eagerly.
Seeing the meat in the meal box, Bo Ge cut it in half, slightly opened the window, aimed at the big cat, and threw the meat out.
The big cat lowered its body, its eyes fixed tightly on the falling meat, its tail swaying slightly. It leaped up suddenly, perfectly catching the meat in mid-air, and gulped it down in one bite.
“After heat, I’ll believe whatever you say.” Bo Ge lowered his head, his expression unusually serious, “Can you still say such words to me after heat?”
“I can.” The big cat raised its head seriously.
“Then go.” Bo Ge pointed to the garden gate, “I’ll wait for you.”
The big cat lowered its head, still sitting under the window, its tail hanging low.
“If we must part today, I want to wait until the last moment, because I still want to look at you a little longer.”
The big cat looked like it had been abandoned, making Bo Ge turn away in pity.
But now was the best time to clarify things, Bo Ge had to be firm. If he waited until Lie Beishuang’s heat was over and he had already fallen in love with him completely, and then Lie Beishuang suddenly left, or his temperament changed into something he despised, it would be too late to talk about separation then.
The big cat remained lying under the window until the sky darkened, until the blue moon rose, and the clear night was upon them. Then, under the window, it made a few “meow” sounds.
Bo Ge, dozing off by the window, saw the big cat climbing up to the window, its black nose touching the glass.
For some reason, Bo Ge remembered the kiss the man had left on his forehead before leaving today, a kiss with a slight chill.
The big cat retracted its claws, dropped from the window, carrying the golden ball, and quietly left the garden, hanging its head.
Bo Ge looked at the golden brain. It was midnight on Abel’s main star, and he had indeed waited until the last moment.
In the deserted area, the destroyed buildings had been restored again, and the robot butler bowed to the returning master, as if everything had returned to the way it was before.
The small golden ball followed the big cat silently, watching as the big cat lay on the soft and comfortable intelligent bed, unable to close its eyes for a long time.
Looking at the blue moon outside the window, Bo Ge counted sheep silently in his heart, one sheep after another, but still couldn’t fall asleep. So he switched to counting dumplings, one dumpling after another, delicious and juicy, just like the dumplings Mimi made last time.
Stretching out on the bed, Bo Ge suddenly felt something under his hand. Looking carefully, it was a few black leopard hairs.
As if suddenly realizing something, Bo Ge got up from the bed, turned on the light in the room, and searched carefully inside. On the floor, on the pillow, on the desk, there were traces of the big cat everywhere.
Usually, Xiao Du would clean the room after breakfast. Bo Ge collected hundreds of black leopard hairs from the dining table, the door, and even the entrance.
“Young master?” Xiao Du heard the sound and came over to check. He saw the youth holding a strand of black leopard hair, bending down to search carefully on the floor.
“These hairs can be used to make felt. I want to make a small felt similar to Mimi’s, and give it to him when we meet again.” Bo Ge vaguely remembered a female classmate in his class who had once made a felt keychain similar to her own cat’s fur and gave it to the boy she liked.
Although the boy rejected her for the reason of “the importance of studying in the third year of high school,” he accepted the keychain and kept it on his bag. It was said that when they applied for universities, they both chose the same university, but it was unknown whether they eventually became a couple.
Seeing the youth carefully picking up a strand of leopard hair from the ground, Xiao Du remained silent for a moment, then opened the dust storage box on his leg and pulled out a large roll of leopard hair from inside.
“This was stuck in my dust storage box.” Xiao Du sounded a bit guilty, “The program is set to clean the dust box once a week, but recently, he’s been shedding a lot.”
“Thank you.” Bo Ge happily accepted the large roll of leopard hair.
“There’s a small question.” Xiao Du’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker, “When did you… notice something unusual about me?”
“If I’m not mistaken, only when you have a clear sense of self will you use the word ‘I’.” Bo Ge didn’t look at Xiao Du, putting a roll of leopard hair into the storage box.
“After I named you, Xiao Du, you never used the word ‘I,’ only referring to yourself as ‘Xiao Du.'”
