Why Weigh Her?

Yes, the eldest young master's social circle was small and uncomplicated. Most of the time when he went out, he was with Chen Xiao and Su Qingzhi. When he wasn't meeting up with his friends, he basically shuttled between two places: the office and home, home and the office. It was that monotonous.

With a life like that, it was perfectly normal for there to be no girls around him. Most importantly, he didn't seem to have any interest in chatting or interacting with pretty older or younger girls at all.

So it was very likely, very likely indeed, that the person the eldest young master liked was either Chen Xiao or Su Qingzhi.

It probably wasn't Chen Xiao. He didn't seem like much of a match for the eldest young master.

But Su Qingzhi was different. He had a pleasant voice, a good temper, and a handsome face. He was also just a little shorter than the eldest young master, so their styles suited each other much better.

Of course, he might like Chen Xiao too. After all, some people preferred a more muscular build. Chen Xiao not only had big muscles, but was tall as well, putting him on equal footing with the eldest young master. But when it came to handsomeness, it was definitely her eldest young master!

The more Ruanruan thought about it, the more excited she became. It was as if she were standing by their bed, shipping them, itching to hand them some tools to help them along.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Linyuan couldn't ignore the silly little expression on Ruanruan's face. The more he looked at her, the more she seemed like she'd sneaked a snack behind his back again. As soon as he finished speaking, he scooped Ruanruan, who had imagined an entire drama, into his arms and gave her a vigorous rub. She really did feel wonderful to the touch. Now that she'd put on quite a bit of weight, she felt even better; he simply couldn't bear to put her down.

Ruanruan swished her tail, cheerfully wearing a generous expression that said he could rub her all he liked, while her head kept turning toward Lu Linyuan's phone.

She was looking forward to him interacting with his friends.

She wanted to pick out a little sugar to eat.

The CP she was following at the moment was the eldest young master and Su Qingzhi, with Chen Xiao in second place. If it wasn't Su Qingzhi, then she'd ship Chen Xiao and the eldest young master!

But if it was Chen Xiao, who would be the gong and who would be the shou?

The eldest young master didn't look weak either. Maybe it was a strong gong and a strong shou. Oh my god, that was too exciting!

She loved it!

Hehehe- she was practically drooling.

Just then, living up to Ruanruan's expectations, Lu Linyuan's phone rang.

He opened it and saw a message from Chen Xiao in their three-person group chat.

Chen Xiao: I want to lodge a complaint against Su Qingzhi. He's absolutely outrageous, worse than a beast!

Lu Linyuan raised an eyebrow as he read. His fingers moved across the screen as he typed a reply: The way you put it makes it very easy for my imagination to run wild.

Su Qingzhi: If we're brothers, we stay single together to the bitter end. You want to get out of singledom before me? No chance!

Chen Xiao: Do you know how bad he is? So bad he's dripping with it! Just now, a few minutes ago, a beautiful woman came up to me and asked for my WeChat! I was so excited!

Lu Linyuan: Hm?

Chen Xiao: He butted in and told her, "Sorry, he's my boyfriend." Fuck, he said I was his boyfriend! The beauty immediately said, "Sorry, sorry," and turned around and ran off. I really wanted to kick him! He's simply not human!

After that, he sent three angry emojis in a row.

Clearly, he was beside himself with rage.

Su Qingzhi: That was a pretty good excuse, wasn't it? Hehe.

Lu Linyuan: He's jealous someone asked for your WeChat.

Chen Xiao: So evil, so evil! How could he come up with such a vicious scheme to ruin my romance!

Ruanruan, nestled in Lu Linyuan's arms, read the whole conversation. When she got to that part, she couldn't help laughing too. Hahaha, these guys are hilarious.

Chen Xiao was still pouring out his grievances and venting his anger in the group chat. After leisurely sending an emoji, Su Qingzhi said: Last time someone asked for my contact information, what did you do? You fucking told her I had a girlfriend and was a single dad. What did I ever do wrong? Everything that happened to you today is exactly what you deserve!

Hahaha. When Ruanruan saw that, she suddenly thought Chen Xiao and Su Qingzhi were a great match too-the kind of CP who loved and fought each other, a pair of bickering lovebirds. The eldest young master seemed to be sitting on the sidelines, like a spectator to their romance.

Lu Linyuan was about to type a reply when he looked down and saw Ruanruan grinning, apparently absorbed in what she was reading. Amused, he scratched her chin and said, "Can you understand it? You're staring so hard, you're not even blinking."

"Meow..."

Lu Linyuan replied in the group: To tell you the truth, my cat is also watching you two make fools of yourselves. You can say more; we both love listening.

When the two heard that Ruanruan was by the phone too, they immediately sent voice messages.

"Baby Ruanruan, it's Brother Chen Xiao. Remember me? If you do, give me a meow. Mwah!"

Su Qingzhi sent a message too, but first he sent one expressing his disgust at Chen Xiao.

"Oh, give it a rest. You sound so disgusting, and you're even using that gross creaky voice. Now even the cat's going to be disgusted by you!" Then he cleared his throat and sent a voice message greeting Ruanruan. "Little Ruanruan, do you remember me? I held you at the office last time. You didn't want me to leave! Qingzhi."

In an instant, the atmosphere was peaceful. Although Ruanruan didn't meow, her tail was swishing back and forth. Clearly, the two had stirred her spirits too; even the little tufts of fur on the tips of her ears were twitching with joy.

At that moment, Ruanruan was confused too. Which of the three actually made a CP? She was standing in a fog and couldn't see clearly.

Now she felt that the three of them had a purely platonic friendship, with no hint of ambiguity.

Then where was the eldest young master's partner Lu Yiyi had mentioned?

"By the way, Lu Linyuan, are you taking Ruanruan to the office tomorrow? If you are, I'll come to your office for lunch, and I can see my little sweetheart Ruanruan while I'm there," Su Qingzhi asked in the group.

Lu Linyuan said coldly, "No comment."

Chen Xiao said gleefully, "Right, don't tell him. You can tell he wants to get close to Ruanruan and then lure her away. Unlike me, I just admire her, pure and simple. I've never thought of snatching her!"

When Lu Linyuan and Su Qingzhi saw that, they both sent the same word: "Scram."

Only a ghost would believe him.

It was utter nonsense.

Ruanruan was so delighted that her eyes curved into crescents. Lying in Lu Linyuan's arms, she hugged her tail and played with it.

Chen Xiao cleared his throat and said, "I really have given up on keeping a cat. Now I just want to pet my brothers' cats. I don't have to raise one myself, which saves so much trouble, and I don't have to worry about much either. Don't think so badly of people."

Su Qingzhi slapped labels on him from the sidelines: "A thieving heart that refuses to die, honeyed words. Anyone who believes you is a complete idiot. If you don't want to snatch her, why did you buy a cat tree and cat toys online? Your intentions deserve condemnation!"

"Seriously? How did you know I bought those things?"

"Feeling stupid now? You updated them to your good finds share yourself. I took screenshots!" He then sent several screenshots of the automatic updates in Chen Xiao's good finds feed.

"Damn Peach Treasure, buying something is such a hassle. If I'd known, I would've just had them custom-made!" Chen Xiao complained, then argued, "I bought those a couple of days ago. I don't want to keep a cat anymore. Now I just want to pet cats without taking responsibility. Am I not allowed to change my mind?"

Lu Linyuan put down his phone, lifted Ruanruan up, and said to her, "Let them argue. We'll go downstairs for a walk, and pop next door to weigh you while we're at it."

At the mention of being weighed, Ruanruan, who had been grinning foolishly, felt her heart tighten. Why do I have to be weighed? Is he getting ready to have me spayed, so he's starting by weighing me?

Fearing for her life, Ruanruan gripped Lu Linyuan's shoulder with her little paws, reluctant to face the weighing.

No, please! I'm just a weak, pitiful little kitty, not an eldest young master like those other kittens who can't control themselves and go into heat whenever they please. Boo-hoo-hoo.
