The female anchor is entertaining guests inside.
As soon as Zong Yuan and the others entered, they stood out conspicuously. Even though Sheng Minglang didn’t reveal his face, the female anchor couldn’t help but walk over to receive them. “Hello, three guests. Are you here to buy a pet?”
Lin Gousi sniffed, “Hey, what perfume are you using? It smells good.”
Sheng Minglang, with a mask on, couldn’t smell it. He looked at Zong Yuan, who pursed his lips, looking unhappy.
The female anchor shyly smiled, “A mixture of a few perfumes, and you develop your own method as you use it. You can call me Xiao Li. Do you need to buy a pet?”
Zong Yuan remained silent with a stern face, and Sheng Minglang, hiding behind, found it hard to speak. Lin Gousi chatted with Xiao Li, “What’s your most popular pet here?”
Xiao Li led them to a small cage the size of a box. Inside were two palm-sized kittens, one gray and one white, licking each other’s fur. Their noses, along with their tongues, were pink and tender, emitting a milky fragrance as if yawning.
Sheng Minglang lost interest after a glance. Instead, Zong Yuan and Lin Gousi went up to play with them.
Zong Yuan was purely observing, while Lin Gousi, holding his heart, felt like he no longer needed a man.
Xiao Li noticed Sheng Minglang, who had been silent. With the conspicuous mask, hat, and sunglasses, she even began to suspect that he was some celebrity. “Sir, don’t you want to take a look?”
Sheng Minglang’s eyes under the sunglasses glanced at Zong Yuan and then at the kittens in the cage. “Don’t you have white tigers for sale?”
Xiao Li was directly startled. She stiffly replied, “Sir, we don’t sell wild animals here.”
Sheng Minglang calmly inquired, “Isn’t it difficult to catch a white tiger?”
“How can you catch one?” Xiao Li didn’t know if the man genuinely didn’t know or if he was deliberately making fun of her. “Nowadays, wild pure white tigers are basically extinct. There are barely a hundred artificially bred ones in the world. Haha, even fewer than pandas!”
“Oh, I see,” Sheng Minglang’s voice carried a hint of pride, “indeed, rarity adds value.”
…What’s there to be proud of?
Zong Yuan looked at the two kittens and suddenly asked, “What are your names?”
The two cuties innocently looked up at him, immediately meowing coquettishly with soft and tender voices. They even flipped over, revealing their cute, pink bellies, and wiggled their four little paws, “Meow~.”
Lin Gousi chuckled, “Hey, can you understand human language?”
However, Sheng Minglang’s face darkened. He rushed over, grabbed Zong Yuan’s hand, interlocking their fingers, and sternly glared at the two cats attempting to charm his man. “Different species can’t be in love! Go away!”
The little kittens innocently tilted their heads, “Meow?”
Ah, these scheming cats! They totally know how to act innocent and cute to capture a man’s heart!
Lin Doggie swallowed saliva, looking incredulously at Sheng Minglang, “Sheng Minglang, have you gone crazy? You’re guarding against this damn cat??”
Sheng Minglang snorted, “This little b*tch thinks she can escape my sharp gaze just by looking like this.”
Hand in hand with Sheng Minglang, Zong Yuan received sympathetic glances from Lin Gousi and Xiao Li. He calmly extended his other hand, reaching through the cage opening to pet the cat’s head, “Good name.”
The other cat also came over to rub against his fingers, “Meow meow meow~”
Sheng Minglang became very aware of the danger, “What’s this little b*tch saying?”
Zong Yuan scratched the finger that had just touched the cat’s head and used it to tickle Sheng Minglang’s chin, “They’re calling me Dad and asking if they were born to you.”
Suddenly, Sheng Minglang looked at the two cats in a different light.
He grumbled, “You two have some taste. Lin Gousi, take these two brats, I’m buying them!”
Lin Doggie, who had witnessed the whole scene, was speechless, “So childish.”
Ah, ah, ah, so envious!!! How could there be a top willing to be so childish with Sheng Minglang?!
Smiling, Xiao Li completed the paperwork for them and provided cat climbing frames, cat litter, cat beds, and other items. She squatted down, reluctantly looking at the two cats, “Goodbye, cuties.”
She wanted to reach out and touch the cats’ heads, but Zong Yuan directly held the two cats in his arms, avoiding her reaching hand.
They really didn’t like her touch.
That’s what the cats conveyed to him.
Even as they left the store, Lin Gousi was muttering to himself, “Her scent really smells good.”
Zong Yuan glanced at him and pointed to the dessert shop next door, “Uncle Gousi, did you see that waiter over there? He was peeking at you.”
Sheng Minglang and Lin Gousi turned their heads together, not at all shy or reserved, “Where, where?”
Zong Yuan casually remarked, “Shy, he went back in. Quite handsome.”
Sheng Minglang was happy for Lin Gousi and patted his shoulder, “Go on, Gousi!”
Lin Gousi went off happily.
Zong Yuan, on the other hand, took Sheng Minglang to the car and asked, “Where is the Taoist temple your brother used to stay at?”
Sheng Minglang replied, “The biggest and most famous one in Z City.”
Wait a minute! “Zong Yuan!!! You’re going to a Taoist temple?! Are you freaking kidding me? You’re not human, and you’re going to a damn Taoist temple!”
Zong Yuan laughed confidently as he held the steering wheel, “If I can go, then I can come back unharmed.”
Sheng Minglang took off his sunglasses, took advantage of the fact that Zong Yuan hadn’t started driving yet, and bit his husband’s Adam’s apple, licking the corner of his mouth. Seductively, he asked, “Are you turned on?”
Zong Yuan reluctantly nodded.
Sheng Minglang, well-versed in adult content, made a provocative yet shy proposal, “You drive, and I’ll kneel to give you a special service?”
“Sheng Minglang, my classmate,” Zong Yuan started the car, “you’re even thirstier than I imagined.”
“Men think with their lower half,” the provocative one continued, with a hint of suggestive air, “that’s right, isn’t it, Professor Zong~”
Zong Yuan glanced at him, “I don’t do teacher-student relationships.”
Sheng Minglang thought for a moment, squinted, and smiled, “Then, I’ll pretend to be sand, and you can water me all night. How about that?”
Zong Yuan directly took his disobedient hand and bit it, mumbling in a blurry tone, “I can let you eat strawberries all night.”
Sheng Minglang, blushing and shy, accused, “You pervert! You’re talking dirty!”
Zong Yuan: …
Damn.
The Taoist temple Sheng Mingyan had stayed at was the largest in Z City, situated on top of a hill. The architecture was ancient and simple, and because the school was about to start, fewer people were coming and going. Standing on the winding path truly gave a feeling of ethereal elegance.
Zong Yuan and Sheng Minglang, each holding a small kitten, entered the Taoist temple directly.
It wasn’t until the sky darkened that the two of them, looking a bit worn out, descended from the mountain.
Placing the sleeping little kittens on the back seat to nestle, Sheng Minglang wearily climbed into the passenger seat, “Today, you just walked around, QAQ.”
Zong Yuan was in a good mood, “Come, let’s go eat, darling.”
Sheng Minglang rubbed his stomach with a lack of energy, “Big darling’s stomach is about to starve to death.”
He curiously looked at Zong Yuan, “How can you be happy just by wandering around randomly?”
Zong Yuan replied, “The scoundrel I wanted to catch, his presence isn’t on this mountain. Do you think I’m not happy?”
Sheng Minglang, a grown man, was coaxed by Zong Yuan’s childlike tone, feeling entirely at ease. After they finished their meal, they leisurely headed home, and the two little kitten brats enjoyed their cat food happily.
Due to the incident that occurred during the Cat Live Stream, the anchor who predicted others’ deaths heard that the police were thoroughly investigating. The Cat Live urgently needed to maintain its audience, and the backstage had already sent a message to Sheng Minglang, hoping that he could continue the live stream tonight, with a share that was one percentage point higher than usual.
That live stream room has already been banned. Now it seems there’s no dangerous situation. Xiao Li, predicted to be the second to die, still broadcasts every day. Due to the prediction, her fanbase has even increased significantly.
Sheng Minglang doesn’t lack this bit of money, but he has developed a bond with the Cat Live stream. At this time, it wouldn’t be right to act as if he didn’t see it.
When he mentioned it at home, Lin Gousi was furious. Zong Yuan said, “I’m going with you.”
Even though they knew Sheng Minglang wasn’t the target of that monster, just to be safe, Zong Yuan accompanied him to keep things under control.
It was still nine o’clock in the evening when the live stream opened punctually.
【Today, Sheng-ge is here!!! Moved to tears!】
【I waited in the livestream for more than half an hour, and I finally got to see him!!!】
【Wow, Doggie! Handsome guy! We still don’t know the handsome guy’s name~】
Sheng Minglang saw this message, aimed at the microphone, and coolly announced, “Come on, you can call him Sheng-ge’s boyfriend.”
【Hahaha! What a ridiculous nickname!】
【… You up there】
【… Upstairs, you there】
【Oh my god!!! They’re a couple!!!! Damn!!!】
【Mom wonders why I am crying like a dog in front of the computer screen #LostTwoLovesInOneDay#】
【Damn! This damn dog food is unexpectedly sweet!】
【I want to eat dog food. Threw a deep-sea torpedo: Sheng-ge, just tell us. Tonight, don’t want to watch games, just want to hear a story!】
【Well done, upstairs!】
【Wasting resources, wasting resources, wasting resources… Cried like a dog】
“Story?” Sheng Minglang thought about it and couldn’t think of any romantic story he could tell. He looked at Zong Yuan, “Boyfriend, you tell.”
Zong Yuan sat beside him and lazily glanced at the barrage. His indifferent appearance triggered another wave of gifts, “Forget it, afraid they’ll be jealous to madness.”
【Uncle threw a deep-sea torpedo: Hey, my competitiveness! You say, you say, don’t think just because you look like a pure top, I won’t dare to challenge you!】
【Upstairs, challenging my boyfriend. Grab him and castrate him】
【Oh, wuwu, I’m single, Sheng-gege!】
Sheng Minglang regretted live streaming a bit. He frowned, “This is my boyfriend.”
Before the barrage could get excited, Zong Yuan had casually nodded beside him, “Yeah, I’m his.”
His hand rubbed Sheng Minglang’s nape, his possessiveness evident as he looked at the camera with raised eyebrows, “Sorry, but Sheng-ge is mine too.”

Hahaha, the small and large numbers refer to the size of seat tickets. In a train carriage, there are around 1 to 120 seats.
