The Last Cat in the Universe
Chapter 82
Fox watched as Yue An worriedly stormed out, then stormed back angrily. Ji Xiuyun followed behind her.
However, Yue An ignored Ji Xiuyun. As soon as the office door closed, he turned back into a cat and jumped into the fox's arms. He buried his little head into the fox's clothes and looked like he refused to communicate with anyone.
Fox, who had a cat growing out of her clothes, raised her head and looked at Ji Xiuyun.
Ji Xiuyun's expression was still as calm as ever, as if nothing could shake him.
However, Fox could see some unconcealable confusion and helplessness on his calm face.
Fox stroked the cat in her arms, feeling a little confused.
Wasn't everything fine just now?
Seeing how seriously Ji Xiuyun was studying, it stood to reason that the two of them should have reconciled and come back happily hand in hand.
Fox, who was more than ten times older than Yue An, stroked the cat and looked at Ji Xiuyun questioningly.
Ji Xiuyun paused. His gaze slowly moved from the cat to Fox.
This fox had been here for almost half a month. It didn't run around, and it never showed its face outside in human form. Other than going out to eat in the canteen and being stroked by humans, it was basically engrossed in studying.
Plus, it was part-time to play with Yue An.
Ji Xiuyun wasn't at all surprised by how much Yue An trusted and relied on Fox.
Although Yue An didn't express much, Ji Xiuyun heard from Yue An a lot about the elders and the other cats in the clan.
Usually, when Yue An told him about the past, he would start by saying, "The elders told me before …"
When he was on the Imperial Planet, after he became familiar with Marshal Kevin and Lady Ellie, Yue An would run over to find the two elders every morning as soon as he left.
Now, there was a fellow clan member. Although he wasn't a cat, he could still be considered an elder of the same clan. Ji Xiuyun wasn't surprised that Yue An liked to stick to him.
However, at this time, the presence of the elders made things more troublesome.
For example, in the past, Ji Xiuyun could go to the corner and comfort the cat that was hiding under the blanket.
He didn't know how to comfort a human, but he knew how to comfort a cat.
Yue An was much easier to comfort when he was in cat form. At least, Ji Xiuyun didn't feel guilty when he saw the cat's blue eyes.
Cats were great, Marshal Ji thought.
Hugging, touching, rubbing, and scratching, they would softly spread out like a cat biscuit, revealing their small belly. When they were comfortable, their tails would leisurely sway. The tip of their tails would curl up and form a small curve.
But it was different for humans.
Marshal Ji had lived for so many years, but he didn't know how to comfort a human.
In his memory, his parents had always been the loving type. There were basically no sweet nothings and honeyed words.
They only had a warm, peaceful, and supportive daily life.
Therefore, Marshal Ji sat in the cockpit of the Silver Blade and thought for a long time. Then, he said to Yue An, "I'll give you the list of assets when I go back."
Yue An's head was full of question marks.
Marshal Ji added, "Marry me, and you'll get half of it."
Then, things developed to this point.
What could Ji Xiuyun do?
Ji Xiuyun was also in despair.
Fox saw the meaning on Ji Xiuyun's face and couldn't help but snort.
Ji Xiuyun looked at him silently.
Fox stroked the cat and waved at him. Then, he turned into a fox and left Ji Xiuyun's office with Yue An, who was the size of his cub, in his mouth.
Yue An was held by the back of his neck by the fox. He curled up his four little paws and hugged his fluffy tail, swaying as he was carried away.
The large red fox held the soft and white ball of fur in its mouth and swaggered through the crowd, going to the place that the fox felt was the most affectionate to him.
The cafeteria.
Fox put the ball of kitten on a stool and ran to the window to order a few dishes. Naturally, the bill was put on Yue An's head.
The entire army knew that after the fluffy cat, there was another fluffy creature on Marshal Ji's side. What this creature was, Marshal Ji didn't announce it to the public.
However, this red ball of fur had a close relationship with the kitten.
Fox pushed the ball of fur on the stool.
Hairball rolled twice and dangerously hung on the edge of the stool. It stretched out its two front paws and clung to the edge of the stool with a dazed expression. Then, under everyone's gaze, because its claws were too sharp, it fell to the ground with a screeching sound and rolled twice.
Fox squatted on the stool and looked down at Yue An, who got up and shook his fur.
Then, the soldiers in the cafeteria looked at the two balls of fur, one big and one small, and started to call out to each other.
Foxes rarely called out. Their voices were soft and sharp, a bit like the movements of a spoiled baby.
Yue An, because of its size, sounded soft and tender, with a hint of milk smell.
Just listening to the cries of these two animals was enough to soothe and heal one's spirit.
Even eating became more fragrant.
Fox was about to be laughed to death by Yue An.
More accurately, he was about to be laughed to death by Ji Xiuyun.
Fox expressed that he had never seen a human like this. At least, before he took on the responsibility of the Shifters, he actually often went to human society to wander around.
For people like Ji Xiuyun, before they could even walk in front of him, they would be intercepted by others.
After all, Fox was so popular, Wooden Fool had no competition at all.
He had to wait for Wooden Fool to be enlightened, to muster the courage to confess, and to let Wooden Fool develop the skill of sweet-talking. This long period of time was enough for him to sleep with eight to ten people.
Fox sighed as he ate.
Ji Xiuyun stepped on dog shit and got lucky, meeting such a stubborn Yue An.
If not for Yue An staring at Ji Xiuyun, hoping that Ji Xiuyun would make a wish for him to become an immortal, where would Ji Xiuyun find such a cute, soft, and simple-minded kitten?
Fox looked kindly at Yue An, who jumped onto the table, and pushed a plate of food to him.
"He's working very hard," Fox said. To outsiders, it was just a soft hum.
Yue An took a bite of a shellfish, chewed, and swallowed, then turned around and meowed angrily.
"Who coaxes a cat like this!"
"Then how are you going to coax it?"
Fox asked him, "I think, his attitude is already very good. Tell me, he seriously went to see how the other party confessed and proposed, and seriously took notes. Didn't you feel touched?"
Yue An lowered his head and meowed.
How could he not feel touched?
Normally, he would never say anything that would touch people's hearts. But because he was unhappy, he quietly hid to see things that he would never come into contact with, and he even seriously observed and learned. No matter who it was, this kind of behavior would make people's hearts soften.
Because she had a clear understanding that 'this person changed himself for me'.
Especially when he also had a good impression of this person, his heart softened even more.
Fox looked at him like this, and directly stretched out his paw to push the cat to the ground.
"Useless!" He said.
Yue An got up, shook his head, and moved back to the plate of fried shellfish with his short legs. He lowered his head and ate without saying anything.
"I'm going back," Fox said.
"The last time I went back, I brought back the news that I found you. The cubs in the clan are in a mess, and they want to come out. I have to go back and take care of them."
Yue An raised its head and glanced at him. It licked its nose that was stained with oil and meowed softly.
"Also, there are a few people in the clan who are very good at divination. It doesn't make sense for me to take care of this alone."
Fox pushed the remaining plates to Yue An, who had a bottomless stomach. While watching him eat, he told Yue An the contact point to enter the big array. He told Yue An that if something really happened, he should go back and ask for help.
Yue An was very comfortable with the word "go back". He was very happy, and even generously licked the fox's fur after eating.
Ji Xiuyun was slightly stunned when he saw the fox and the cat wander out. In the end, only the cat came back.
Yue An smelled the fox as soon as he entered the room. His cat face was full of disgust, and he turned on the strong ventilation system. Then, he jumped up to Ji Xiuyun's lap, yawned lazily, and lay down.
Ji Xiuyun looked down at the cat on his lap. He did not ask where the fox went, but asked, "Not angry anymore?"
Yue An's ears twitched as he let out a 'meow' sound.
He was not angry anymore.
"I just checked."
Ji Xiuyun pinched Yue An's little paw and said, "When we go back to the Imperial Planet and deal with the post-war matters, I'll take you out to play."
Yue An turned over and lay on Ji Xiuyun's lap, revealing his little belly. He tilted his head and looked at Ji Xiuyun.
"Meow ~"
Marshal Ji stuffed all kinds of projects, such as the White Starlight Ocean, the Capital of Flowers, the Blue Floating Planet, and the Deep Sea Exploration, into the schedule.
The travel schedule was provided by the Silver Blade, which was newly loaded with a bunch of messy data packages.
Ji Xiuyun scratched Yue An's chin. When he heard the cat purring comfortably, he pursed his lips slightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to turn up slightly.
The benefits of the Empire of Sintes were very good.
For example, the wedding leave was as long as three months. It was enough for him and Yue An to visit all the famous scenic spots.
Ji Xiuyun counted the days and looked down at the cat lying on his lap. The abacus in his heart was crackling.
