Epilogue 4: Bai Shuang’s Story (Part 2)
A spring night, by the French window.
A calico cat was curled into a ball on the carpet, her body trembling lightly.
A delicate, almost unbearable “meow” intermittently escaped her throat, and her paws clutched at the carpet haphazardly. Her teeth repeatedly gnawed on a yarn ball, as if she were intoxicated by the scent within.
Ding-dong—
A bell suddenly rang at the door.
The calico cat’s whole body trembled lightly, and her furry ears instantly perked up.
Outside the door.
Chu Yunyao waited for a moment, then rang the doorbell again.
Her neighbor’s little cat had not come to ask for pets for several days, which had made her unable to sleep or eat.
Actually, Chu Yunyao was not a person who was overflowing with love for cats and dogs. She also did not understand why she had felt such a sense of familiarity with that calico cat at first sight, and had felt a certain joy, and had then been thinking about and looking forward to it all day.
Click.
The door in front of her was finally unlocked, and Chu Yunyao came back to her senses.
She looked up, and her breath hitched—
Her cold beauty neighbor was, at this moment, no longer cold.
Her snow-like cheeks were covered in an enchanting crimson, and her beautiful eyes were shimmering with a watery light, and the corners of her eyes were tinged with a delicate cherry pink, which was pitiful to see.
“…What is it?”
Bai Shuang’s voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, and she could not hide her light pants.
She had just been repeatedly biting and gnawing on the yarn ball, trying to absorb Chu Yunyao’s scent from it.
And now that Chu Yunyao was right in front of her, the familiar, clear and subtle floral scent wafted over, and it made the little cat a little guilty, and also a little intoxicated.
The tips of her ears, hidden under her hair, grew hotter and hotter.
Chu Yunyao stared at the woman without a moment’s pause, and her throat was for no reason dry.
After a moment of being lost in thought, she finally remembered to state her purpose.
“I saw the delivery person sending food and medicine recently, and I guessed you were sick.”
“It just so happens that I have time to make dinner today, so I was thinking of inviting you over to eat together. After all, a good diet is nourishing, and you’ll recover faster.”
Chu Yunyao was wearing a simple, light gray loungewear, which was originally an ascetic color.
But her figure was graceful, and her features were bright and beautiful, and from that asceticism, a soul-stirring charm was exuded.
The little cat, who was in heat, bit her lip at the sight.
Before she could react, she had already obediently agreed.
“Mhm.”
Chu Yunyao’s heart felt itchy, and she couldn’t help but murmur in her heart, so good.
The new neighbor looked a little older than her, and her expression was always distant and indifferent, a complete cold beauty older sister.
But at this moment, because she was sick, her eyes were red and misty, and she slowly nodded her head, and she was both good and cute, very much like that calico cat.
With this thought, Chu Yunyao asked, “Oh, right, where’s your little cat? Can you bring her to my place to play too?”
Bai Shuang gently shook her head and said seriously:
“The little cat is not here.”
Before the bad woman could press further, she haphazardly added, “She… she’s asleep.”
Chu Yunyao blinked her eyes and said with a gentle smile, “Alright then, next time.”
She led her new neighbor into her home.
This neighbor had clearly never been to her home, but at this moment, she was somewhat familiar with it.
She did not even look around curiously, but went straight to the dining room.
Chu Yunyao unhurriedly followed behind the woman, and looking at the three-colored long hair that swayed slightly with her movements, her clear and deep gaze was thoughtful.
The dishes on the table were nutritionally balanced and just right in saltiness, very suitable for a sick person.
This detail originally showed the bad woman’s thoughtfulness and gentleness, but the little cat sullenly and secretly puffed out her snow-white cheeks.
This bad woman is really so leisurely and has such a good mood, to be so meticulously taking care of a new neighbor she has just met.
How many female humans and little cats has she had?
“Is it not good?”
Chu Yunyao saw that her new neighbor’s expression was sullen, like an unhappy and dejected little cat, and she couldn’t help but ask in a gentle voice.
An itch scratched at the tip of her heart, and she actually had the urge to rub her neighbor just as she would rub that calico cat.
“…No.”
Bai Shuang came back to her senses.
She resumed her cool and aloof expression and ate with a reserved and elegant air.
But when she realized that the bad woman was still looking at her, she gradually became so nervous that she gripped her chopsticks tightly.
Chu Yunyao’s gaze, to her, was like spring to a small animal. As it roamed, it easily made her heartbeat chaotic.
Chu Yunyao was eating with a nonchalant air.
Her left hand was leisurely propping up her chin, and her eyes were on the woman next to her.
Unlike the cold fragrance of before, at this moment, the woman’s whole body was giving off a sweet and hidden, subtle fragrance, as if it contained a certain primal, and of spring, feminine scent.
As she chewed, the woman’s slightly puffed-up cheeks, and even the ears that were half-hidden in her hair, were always filled with a moist red.
And even more, her breathing was gradually deepening, and her body was even faintly trembling…
Clink—
Bai Shuang could no longer take it and suddenly put down her chopsticks.
“I’m done. Thank you.”
She stood up abruptly and was about to walk out.
But her legs, against her will, went weak, and she almost fell limply.
Chu Yunyao, with quick eyes and even quicker hands, raised an arm to hold the woman in her embrace and, taking the opportunity, sat her on her lap.
Their warm and soft bodies were pressed against each other through the thin clothes.
Chu Yunyao clearly felt the pitiful and cute tremor of the woman in her arms, and also smelled the increasingly rich and sweet fragrance.
She did not like physical contact, but at this moment, she unconsciously held the person a little tighter, as if she were holding a little cat she liked.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Bai Shuang’s breath was rapid, and for a moment, she couldn’t speak.
The bad woman’s scent seemed to be entangled in her muscles and bones, and it stirred up a dense itch.
The palm of the hand on her waist and back was also scalding hot, and it was so hot that she couldn’t help but tremble all over.
“Ooh…”
A cat-like whimper actually and faintly escaped the cold beauty’s throat, and it was delicate and weak.
Chu Yunyao’s breath hitched at the sound.
Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and she couldn’t help but raise a hand to stroke the woman’s three-colored long hair.
The touch was soft and glutinous, and it was exactly the same as the fur of that calico cat.
“Little cat…”
In a certain absurd guess, Chu Yunyao’s heart was in a flutter, and her voice was hoarse.
“You are the little cat who comes to find me every night for pets, right?”
The person in her arms suddenly stiffened, and she hastily denied, “I’m not a little cat!”
Then she got off her lap and, turning, stumbled and quickly left, almost fleeing.
Bang.
A deafening sound of a door closing came from across the hall. It was too rushed, and she couldn’t control the force.
Chu Yunyao blinked her eyes a beat later and was in a daze.
Bzz-bzz—
She picked up her phone in a daze.
A new message popped up in the owner’s group:
[Property Management: Recently, with the warm spring days, cats and dogs are frequently in heat, and we have been receiving many complaints about the disturbance. We would like to ask all owners with pets to pay more attention and maintain harmony in the neighborhood. @All Members]
Chu Yunyao’s beautiful brow lifted slightly.
She came to her front door and, leaning against the doorframe, she stared at the door opposite for a moment.
A faint smile curled her lips, and she turned and went back into her house.
…
The moment she fled into her home, Bai Shuang transformed back into a little cat and collapsed limply on the carpet.
A wave of heat came, and it was surging.
Her body and soul were trembling, and she was so uncomfortable that she let out a series of low meows.
In her daze, her consciousness scattered, and memories of the past floated in her mind—
At that time, she had still been a stray cat.
The world was truly very large for a stray cat, and the sky was high and the land was wide, and she could wander everywhere.
But from the day Chu Yunyao had appeared, Bai Shuang’s vast world had shrunk to a small corner of the grass on the east side of the residential complex, which was lit by a streetlight.
Because Chu Yunyao would pet her there every night.
Perhaps it was simply because she was attracted to the overly beautiful creature, or perhaps the woman’s clear and subtle floral scent was very pleasant, or perhaps it was just the light and pleasant, and with a light laugh, “good little cat.”
The calico cat, who had never allowed a human to pet her before, had melted into a soft and limp, fluffy liquid in this female human’s palm.
Of course, the calico cat would not admit it.
She had clearly and proudly refused every time. It was the woman who had insisted on petting her for half a day, and had made her whole body limp and unable to resist.
She had also not deliberately waited there. She had just happened to like to lie there at night.
Every time after she was done, the woman would reluctantly pinch her paw and also add some food and a can to her bowl before she would stand up and leave.
And the calico cat would be so petted that her whole body would tremble lightly, and as she panted lightly, she would lift her head and watch the woman’s graceful departing figure.
A human has her own rich and colorful life, and a stray little cat’s world is only filled with a series of waiting and seeing off.
Chu Yunyao had said, “You are my favorite little cat.”
Chu Yunyao had also said, “I can’t raise you now, but I will definitely take you home in the future.”
For these two sentences, the innocent and pure little cat had once firmly believed them.
A little cat would go into heat every month, and it would last for seven to ten days.
And so, their petting was not always so pure—for a little cat.
The grass grew and the orioles flew, and the weather grew warmer and warmer.
Late at night, Chu Yunyao, who had just returned from work, with practiced ease, petted the calico cat in the grass.
“Meow-ooh… meow-ooh…”
Unlike before, when she would at most let out a cool and aloof, light “meow,” today’s calico cat’s meow was sweet and sticky, and her two paws held the woman’s slender wrist tightly, and she even took the initiative to nuzzle her body.
Chu Yunyao chuckled lightly. “Little cat is so clingy today.”
She turned the calico cat over and over and, with practiced ease, rubbed her, from top to bottom.
The little cat’s whole body was limp, and she had no strength to resist. She only felt a heat spread, and a tingling, electric sensation coursed through her limbs.
In the moment the woman held the tip of her tail, she suddenly trembled all over, and her mind was a blank slate, and it was as if fireworks had bloomed.
The little cat vaguely knew that she had mated with this woman.
The feeling was intense and fulfilling, and a craving arose in her heart.
Just as she was about to slip into the intimate human’s palm and ask the other to coax and pet her, she heard Chu Yunyao say:
“Alright, I’m going back to sleep. That’s it for today.”
“See you tomorrow, little cat.”
Her voice was gentle and clear, as always.
But the calico cat, for a moment, felt a little cold, and her fur fluttered lightly in the night wind.
…After mating, the human wouldn’t even stay with her?
The afterglow had not yet dissipated. She lay alone in the grass, looking at the woman’s departing back, and her beautiful eyes gradually grew misty.
An unspeakable sense of loss.
And such a scene was later played out countless times.
The woman would always pet her until she was trembling all over and full, and then she would coolly turn and leave, as if without any reluctance.
Every time after, the little cat would be puffed up with anger and would think that next time, she would not let Chu Yunyao pet her.
But the next night, when the woman came over, she couldn’t help but expose her belly.
Another night.
Chu Yunyao was petting the sweet and sticky, clingy little cat, and she finally and belatedly reacted.
“Little cat… are you in heat these past few days?”
The calico cat, in the midst of her trembling, came back to her senses slightly.
She let out a cool and demure “meow.”
This dull woman, after so many matings, had only just discovered it?
She heard Chu Yunyao say seriously, “Little cat, after you’re done with your heat this time, I’ll take you to be spayed.”
The calico cat, who was clinging to her wrist, stiffened.
Her furry ears flattened into airplane ears, and her whole being suddenly bristled, and her tail was held high.
Bad woman, she actually wants to take her to be spayed!
As a little cat who had grown up slowly for many years and was still very young, the calico cat had seen many stray cats being caught and spayed.
She did not yet know that this was a kind help from humans. She only knew that spaying was very painful, and her own kind would always be listless for a long time after returning from the hospital.
Unexpectedly, the bad woman’s next sentence was even more shocking to the little cat.
“Are you scared? It’s okay. The cats in my house have all been spayed, and they’re doing very well.”
“…Meow!”
The calico cat was incredulous.
So the few moments of petting that she had been happily looking forward to every day, all the sweetness in her life, were just a casual charity from the bad woman.
Chu Yunyao had countless other cats waiting to be petted at home.
No wonder that every time her fireworks were brilliant, the bad woman would never stay to accompany her, and would turn and leave.
Because the little cats at home needed to be accompanied more.
So Chu Yunyao had a carefully cultivated, delicate flower at home, and she was just a wild flower on the outside.
The calico cat’s heart felt a sharp pain for a moment.
In the trembling afterglow, she forcefully bit the bad woman’s arm through her clothes and turned and ran.
“Little cat!”
She heard the bad woman calling her.
The calico cat, bristling with anger, turned and slipped into a flower patch, her heart cold with disappointment.
That was their last meeting—
The calico cat had run away in a huff for a whole month.
When she had finally calmed down and had couldn’t help but look back, she had never found Chu Yunyao in the residential complex again.
…
“Meow-ooh…”
Bai Shuang was randomly rubbing and nuzzling the carpet, her whole body uncomfortable.
Her furry paws lifted and, with a sudden, her fingertips flushed a pinkish color, and a slender hand appeared.
The woman was lying on the ground, her eyes misty with tears, and she panted for a moment.
She suddenly bit her red lip and made a decision.
Having met Chu Yunyao again after several years, she had clearly and deliberately moved to the apartment opposite the bad woman. Why was she torturing herself like this?
Anyway, she had had so many times with the bad woman.
Anyway, it was definitely not that she was infatuated with Chu Yunyao. It was just that a little cat wanted to irresponsibly enjoy the bad woman’s skills…
Bai Shuang stood up and, with her limp legs, went to the bathroom and carefully took a shower.
Then she rang Chu Yunyao’s doorbell.
Chu Yunyao had just finished her shower.
She opened the door and saw the cold beauty older sister outside, who seemed to have also just come out of the bath, and her skin, which was not covered by her clothes, was all flushed with a beautiful, light pink.
Chu Yunyao’s breath hitched slightly.
Her voice was gentle and clear, and with a certain joy, she said with a smile:
“Little cat, why did you come to find me in human form tonight?”
Bai Shuang’s heart trembled.
She blinked her spring-filled eyes and, with a serious and solemn air, corrected:
“I am not a little cat.”
She was still putting up a last-ditch resistance.
“…Mhm.”
Chu Yunyao’s throat moved slightly, and as she stared at her, she went with the flow and said:
“Then, you came to find me to…?”
The tide of her special period was surging in her limbs, and Bai Shuang endured until her body trembled lightly, and her eyes were filled with a thin mist. “You, don’t you want to do it?”
Chu Yunyao’s heart was suddenly hot.
She had no experience and had not been very keen on this matter before, at most relieving herself when she was under too much pressure.
But now—looking at this cute little cat, who was trying her best to pretend to be a human, and was trembling all over from her heat, and was so nervous that her eyes were shimmering with tears, and was taking the initiative to ask for love.
She only wished she could eat the little cat whole.
Between adults, why should there be so much conflict? A craving is a rare thing. If you want it, you want it.
Even though she did not even know the other’s name.
Chu Yunyao reached out her hand and held Bai Shuang’s, and their fingers interlocked, and she gently pulled her into the entryway.
Click.
The door was gently closed.
In the midst of her pounding heart, she couldn’t help but press Bai Shuang against the door and, lowering her head, she lightly sniffed the rich and sweet fragrance.
She guessed that this was the scent that this little cat released when she was in heat.
It would make one intoxicated.
Chu Yunyao’s lashes fluttered lightly, and she turned her head to peck the woman’s fair and rounded ear.
She felt the woman tremble slightly in her arms and, inadvertently, let out a low and soft cat’s whimper.
“Good little cat…”
Chu Yunyao closed her eyes and, in a drunken state, kissed her.
She kissed her wet eye corners, the tip of her flushed nose.
“Good little cat.”
She murmured as she kissed.
Bai Shuang helplessly hooked her neck and, when her neck was being kissed, she tilted her head back, and her cool voice was tinged with an inexperienced desire.
“I… I’m not a little cat…”
Chu Yunyao, while tasting the woman’s delicate and fragrant skin, coaxed indulgently:
“Mhm, a little cat is not a little cat.”
She looked up and met the little cat’s beautiful and alluring face.
Her breath hitched, and she lifted the other’s chin and kissed her.
Their lips and tongues were entangled, and their scorching breaths mingled.
Bai Shuang’s heart was captured by the gentle yet forceful kiss, and her whole body grew hotter and hotter, and she was as soft as spring water.
Without realizing it, a pair of cute calico cat ears had perked up from the top of her head.
A long, fluffy tail also slipped out from behind her and swayed with the surging passion.
The back of her hand was suddenly brushed by a soft and glutinous fur, and Chu Yunyao’s movements paused slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Bai Shuang’s pink lips were wet, and her gaze was scattered, and as she panted lightly, she could not come back to her senses.
Vaguely, she actually felt her fluffy tail being held tightly and being unhurriedly and lightly rubbed in the human’s hand.
“!”
The little cat trembled all over, and in her fright, her whole body bristled, and her smooth hair instantly became fluffy.
Chu Yunyao took in the woman’s reaction and couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.
She stared at the little cat, who was in a daze and at a loss, and was huddled by the door, and her cute and pitiful appearance, and she couldn’t help but, with a mischievous heart, deliberately press against her ear and, word by word, emphasize:
“I’ve caught you, little cat.”
