Watching Chu Yanzhang's busy figure, Xie Zhuzhou felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
Despite being in this strange situation, he felt inexplicably at ease as long as Chu Yanzhang was by his side.
The microwave oven beeped, indicating the fish was defrosted.
Chu Yanzhang awkwardly used his claws to open the air fryer, put the fish in, and set the timer.
Xie Zhuzhou jumped down from the top of the refrigerator, circled Chu Yanzhang a few times, and held his tail high, showing his good mood.
" Little Yan, you're such a good family man, even as a wolf you're still so capable!" He meowed, his tone slightly teasing.
Chu Yanzhang gently nudged Xie Zhuzhou's cat head with his nose, his icy blue eyes filled with tenderness.
"Of course, I need to take good care of my wife," he replied softly, his voice still sounding magnetic to Xie Zhuzhou.
Xie Zhuzhou couldn't help but laugh, "You think you can seduce me even if you turn into a wolf? No way, I'm a cat! We're different species!"
Chu Yanzhang chuckled softly, his voice rumbling from his throat, tinged with a mixture of helplessness and affection. " Zhouzhou, you're still so mischievous even when you're a cat."
Xie Zhuzhou licked his paws and meowed casually, pretending not to care. "If I were a tiger, I would definitely make you, this wolf, submit to me."
Just then, the kitchen's smart system suddenly sounded an alarm, indicating that the microwave oven was malfunctioning. Chu Yanzhang quickly turned around and pressed the stop button with his nose. He checked carefully and found that the microwave oven door was not closed properly.
"After turning into a wolf, my claws aren't very agile." Chu Yanzhang shook his head self-deprecatingly, readjusted the microwave, and continued heating.
Xie Zhuzhou jumped onto the kitchen counter and squatted down to watch Chu Yanzhang busy himself.
" Little Yan, our sense of taste changed after we turned into animals. I'm particularly interested in fish now."
Chu Yanzhang thought for a moment and replied, "However, no matter how my sense of taste changes, I will always find food you like."
Xie Zhuzhou felt a warmth in his heart and gently tapped the table with his tail.
The process of cooking the fish was a little difficult, but fortunately Chu Yanzhang finished it smoothly. No matter what he did, Chu Yanzhang was always very reliable, which made Xie Zhuzhou very gratified. He rubbed his head against Chu Yanzhang's front leg and made a "gurgling" sound in his throat.
Xie Zhuzhou has stopped walking with his feet crooked. He jumped onto the stage, took a sniff, and exclaimed, "It smells so good..."
Because it would be very crowded for a wolf to jump onto the stage, Xie Zhuzhou waited until the fish got cold, then picked up half of it and gave it to Chu Yanzhang.
Chu Yanzhang was deeply moved. No matter what they became, Zhouzhou would always love him.
At that moment, he completely forgot that he was the one who had sacrificed so much during the entire arduous process.
The two little animals reverted to human form at night, Xie Zhuzhou almost didn't have time to change his habit after switching accounts, nearly licking his palm with his tongue.
This action greatly aroused Chu Yanzhang's eyes. Xie Zhuzhou realized the danger, but it was too late. Chu Yanzhang pressed him down on the bed.
After someone had a full meal, they returned to their obedient self, leaving Xie Zhuzhou speechless.
At this moment, Xie Zhuzhou suddenly remembered that since they had turned back into humans, the others were probably the same. They might as well take this opportunity to go out and find food. After all, once they turned back into human form, they would regain their original fighting power.
"Let's go down and find something to eat..."
"Okay." Chu Yanzhang was very obedient and left immediately, even packing his bag and taking out the equipment he had prepared from the suite.
"Why bring a plastic bag?" Xie Zhuzhou asked, puzzled.
Chu Yanzhang said, "You'll find out soon enough."
Sure enough, when Xie Zhuzhou went downstairs, he found that the entire six-story hotel had been looted! There was no food left in the hotel cafeteria, and the staff had vanished without a trace.
People on the street avoided them.
Xie Zhuzhou finally experienced a joy he had never felt when he was a cat; what he loved was the feeling of people avoiding him.
Chu Yanzhang glanced at his watch and quickened his pace, leading Xie Zhuzhou along.
" Little Yan, where are we going?"
"Let's go catch fish. Luckily, we brought flashlights before we came." Chu Yanzhang took out a flashlight from his bag, and naturally held Xie Zhuzhou's hand with his other hand, wanting to keep Zhouzhou within his sight.
Xie Zhuzhou understood Chu Yanzhang's feelings, so he let him lead the way.
The moonlight shone on people's faces at night. Xie Zhuzhou looked at Chu Yanzhang's face and felt his heart flutter every time he looked at him.
"Actually, our food..." Xie Zhuzhou originally wanted to say that the food in the suite should be enough, but thinking about Chu Yanzhang's physique when he was a wolf, he felt that it might not be enough.
"Um?"
"It's nothing." Xie Zhuzhou didn't say anything more. Suddenly, someone jumped out of the jungle and tried to attack him. Xie Zhuzhou had actually sensed it long ago, but Chu Yanzhang didn't give him any room to maneuver. He kicked the person several meters away, and the person crashed into a tree and fell straight to the ground, causing many leaves to fall from the tree.
Xie Zhuzhou stared dumbfounded at his own Little Yan, suddenly realizing how blind he had been before! He had actually thought Little Yan was weak and unable to take care of himself!
Chu Yanzhang took Xie Zhuzhou's hand and walked over.
Xie Zhuzhou asked the person who had just tried to attack him, "Why did you attack me?"
The man was in excruciating pain, seeing stars. He sensed the chilling and terrifying tone of the person who had questioned him. Filled with regret and fear, he trembled uncontrollably. "I... I've been starving for ages. I wanted to steal your keys to find something to eat."
"If you're in trouble, don't you know to ask the police?"
"If I could call the police, I would have done so already. There's no signal on this island," the man said pitifully, clutching his stomach and groaning.
Xie Zhuzhou didn't feel sorry for him; after all, this man was willing to be ruthless to others because of his own desires.
Besides, that person was him, so he had no intention of helping the person who hurt him. But he also couldn't be bothered to waste time on that person, since Little Yan's kick was already enough for that person to suffer.
After Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang walked away, Xie Zhuzhou realized that he hadn't even considered calling the police. While he was lost in thought, Chu Yanzhang told him, "There really is no signal. I tried."
Xie Zhuzhou sighed, "Well, we've really fallen into a bizarre world, but it's actually quite interesting."
Chu Little Yan looks incredibly handsome even as a wolf.
The two walked for about two kilometers before arriving at a fast-flowing stream on the island.
Unsurprisingly, many others shared the same idea; they were all there to fish. Some had fishing rods, while others, with their meager equipment, could only hope that the blind fish would willingly walk into their "net."
Xie Zhuzhou found the scene both unexpectedly pitiful and hilarious.
Chu Yanzhang observed the surroundings and noticed that although the fishermen's equipment was simple, they were focused and seemed to have a great passion for fishing. He whispered to Xie Zhuzhou, " Zhouzhou, let's find a secluded spot to observe and see if we can make a move."
