The Young Master Is Driving Me Mad

Lu Yiyi said over the phone, "Don't be so hard on a little kitty! Our Ruanruan really is very brave!"

Touched, Ruanruan continued to chime in inwardly: Exactly, exactly!

Lu Linyuan asked, "How is she now?" He sounded casual, but there was a hint of concern in his voice.

Lu Yiyi looked at Ruanruan, who was gnawing on a dried fish, and sent her brother a photo. "She's recovered and eating happily."

"Looking at it that way, is it possible she was pretending to be scared to trick you into giving her the dried fish?"

Lu Yiyi: ?

Little Ruanruan: ?

"How can you make assumptions like that about a kitten who isn't even three months old, Bro? But if that's true, Ruanruan is way too smart." Lu Yiyi was speechless at her brother's sharp tongue.

"Meow-" Yiyi prepared this dried fish for me in the first place, so it was mine whether I pretended or not. This hateful young master thinks I'm far too scheming!

"That's true too." After listening to his sister, Lu Linyuan agreed.

Hearing that, Ruanruan quickly changed her tune. Okay, since you agree I'm smart, I take back what I just said about you being hateful.

They shook paws and made peace.

"Then Ruanruan will stay at my place tonight, and I'll bring her back to you tomorrow," Lu Yiyi said.

Lu Linyuan didn't object. "Mm, okay," he said.

Ruanruan grumbled inwardly that this guy didn't seem reluctant to part with her at all.

Everything had been fine, but when Ruanruan woke up the next morning, she found herself in the young master's bed?

What happened?

Did I gain a teleportation skill on top of transmigrating into a cat?

That frightened Ruanruan a little. If the young master found out, would he think she was some kind of monster in disguise?

Just then, a sound came from the bathroom, and Ruanruan realized the young master was taking a shower. Oh my god, what if he comes out and finds me here?!

At a complete loss, Ruanruan was about to burrow under the covers when the young master walked out of the bathroom, his eyes fixed on her as she stuck her butt in the air and tried to crawl under the blanket.

"When did you pick up a mouse's habits? Are you trying to bore a hole in the blanket?"

Ruanruan froze. When she came to her senses, she let out a puzzled huh in her mind. From the sound of it, the young master didn't seem surprised at all that she was here?

"I didn't expect you to sleep so soundly. I carried you back from Yiyi's place in the middle of the night, and you didn't show the slightest sign of waking up. Does your butt still hurt?"

Ah! So I didn't gain the ability to teleport... And what does he mean, does my butt still hurt? I got a needle in the back of my neck, not my butt!

In fact, the young master had worked overtime until midnight the night before. On his way home, he had the driver turn toward his sister's place and brought back Ruanruan, who was sleeping so soundly that she had no idea he had come to pick her up.

Lu Yiyi had been a little surprised when she heard the commotion. Looking at her brother, who had suddenly shown up at her door, she asked in surprise, "Is something urgent going on? Bro, why did you come over yourself?"

Lu Linyuan had said breezily, "I just finished working overtime, and it was on my way, so I came to pick her up. That way, you won't have to make another trip tomorrow."

Lu Yiyi: "..."

With that, Lu Linyuan walked straight inside, asking his sister as he went.

"Where is she?"

"In my room." Lu Yiyi hurried after him.

When they reached Lu Yiyi's bedroom, Lu Linyuan saw the kitten sleeping sprawled on her back in her cat bed, looking wonderfully pettable. He softened his footsteps as he approached and gently picked her up, afraid of waking her.

Lu Yiyi didn't dare speak loudly either. Beside her brother, she whispered, "Should we get a carrier to put her in?"

Lu Linyuan looked at his sister and shook his head. He carried Ruanruan to the car as gently as could be and took her home.

After returning, he didn't clean her up, but put her straight on the bed. She had slept all the way until seven thirty. His sister had said the cat went to sleep as soon as she got back, which meant she had slept for a full twelve hours.

Ruanruan didn't know the real reason or understand why Lu Linyuan had suddenly brought her back in the middle of the night. She simply assumed it was on his way, but the thought that the young master had come to pick her up in the middle of the night filled her with sweet delight and pride.

All right, the young master does have a place in his heart for me, his invincibly adorable little kitten. Hehe!

"Meow-" Her fur a mess, Ruanruan looked up at the young master and reached out her paws for a cuddle.

Lu Linyuan walked over and said something before picking her up.

"What, hungry?"

What a mood killer, what a mood killer! I'm trying to cuddle with you, don't you get it? But I really am a little hungry...

Her stomach obligingly began to rumble.

"No wonder you wanted me to hold you. It really was because you were hungry," he said.

Ruanruan, who had been the one to ask for cuddles, rocked back in anger and pretended to bite Lu Linyuan. But her little teeth were still so tender that they didn't hurt at all; instead, she got drool all over his hand.

Then Lu Linyuan casually wiped his hand on Ruanruan's back, rubbing all the drool into her fur.

He wiped his hand with a perfectly serious expression and said, "Your stuff. I'm giving it back."

On hearing that, Ruanruan stretched out both paws and scratched wildly at him in revenge.

I'll scratch your silk pajamas to ribbons!

Seeing the little cat in his arms baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, he said with a smile, "It's fine. I have a hundred sets of these pajamas. Scratch all you like, and remember to rest when you get tired."

"..." That's just like you. Thinking of the young master's enormous walk-in closet, Ruanruan withdrew her claws and decided not to waste any more energy.

You're driving me mad!
