Chapter Sixty-Seven p3
The wine bottles on the table gradually emptied, Zhao You’s voice became slurred, her cheeks flushed. After looking at Bo Chi for a while, she smiled foolishly and said: “Such a beautiful little kitty, I declare! From now on, you are mine!“
“Hee hee hee, little kitty, don’t hide, Mommy wants to kiss you.“
Bo Chi: “…”

The snow-white Ragdoll cat was covered in lipstick marks from the kisses. The bartender noticed the commotion here, came over, and asked Zhao You: “Miss? Are you okay?“
Zhao You looked up at him, and as she looked, she started crying, crying like a child: “No, I’m not okay!“
The bartender showed an awkward but polite smile, waved to the waiter not far away, and curled his lips: “Another drunkard, take her to the empty room on the second floor to rest. When she wakes up, remember to ask her to pay for the alcohol and the room.“
The waiter responded, and together they helped Zhao You up to the second floor, put her on the bed, and then left.
Bo Chi struggled to break free from Zhao You’s hand, but the drunkard’s strength was not small, and she held her tightly.
Bo Chi went from struggling to giving up, and finally fell asleep in despair in the strong smell of alcohol.
In the middle of the night, she turned over, and vaguely felt that something was missing, but because she was sleepy, she didn’t bother to think about it, and fell asleep again.
The next day, noisy sounds came from next door. Bo Chi opened her eyes in a daze, jumped off the bed in confusion, and listened carefully with her ears pricked up.
“Excuse me, excuse me, please, no stalkers, please stay away from the idol’s life!“
“Did Su Zhuo really get drunk at the bar last night?“
“Click, click.“
“Don’t take pictures! Don’t take pictures!“
“The door isn’t even open, what are you taking pictures of?“
“Since you don’t admit that Su Zhuo was drinking, then open the door!“
“Yes, open the door!“
Bo Chi was confused, recalled the plot, and found that the Su Zhuo they were talking about was a recently popular idol, not very old, probably only nineteen years old, but very good at singing and dancing, and became popular because of a TV drama theme song.
She didn’t expect him to appear here, and even have a scandal about drinking. Bo Chi shook her head, turned around indifferently, looked at the bed, and planned to wake up the drunkard first and urge her to go to work.
After one look, Bo Chi fell silent.
Wait…
Where was the big Zhao You on the bed?!
Bo Chi’s face was full of horror. She turned around on the bed, then got off the bed and looked under the bed, but couldn’t find Zhao You’s figure.
She was dumbfounded, and hurriedly wanted to go outside and call someone. When she ran to the door, she stared at the closed door blankly.
So… now… how could she get out?
The commotion outside was too loud, and Bo Chi meowed for a long time, but her voice was completely drowned out by the noise next door. She waited miserably until noon, until the paparazzi outside were driven away, and the next door was quiet, and then she perked up and continued to meow.
However, perhaps because the soundproofing of the door was too good, no one came following the sound. Instead, in the afternoon, a familiar ringtone suddenly rang.
Bo Chi, who was lying listlessly on the ground, quickly pricked up her cat ears, and hurriedly looked for Zhao You’s phone.
After searching for a long time, she finally found it in the trash can. Seeing Yu Zhao’s name displayed on the screen, she stretched out her paw with tears in her eyes, and struggled to answer the call with her paw pad.
“Hello?” Yu Zhao’s voice came, carrying confusion: “Sister Zhao, why didn’t you come to work today? Is something wrong?“
Bo Chi: “Mew, mew, meow! Meow!“
Yu Zhao didn’t understand, but she understood something from Bo Chi’s tone, and said urgently: “Did you have an accident? Are you injured?“
Bo Chi replied energetically: “Meow, meow, meow!“
Yu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said: “Don’t be afraid, Taotao, big sister will come find you now, can you give the phone to Sister Zhao?“
Bo Chi said dejectedly: “Wuwuwu.“
Yu Zhao’s voice deepened: “Something happened to Sister Zhao? I understand, don’t run around, stay there obediently, do you understand?“
Bo Chi: “Meow~“
The call ended. Although Bo Chi was still trapped in the room, her heart calmed down, because she knew that someone was looking for her everywhere.
Not long after, a series of hurried footsteps came, the door was opened, Bo Chi glanced past the bartender who opened the door, and saw Yu Zhao.
There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her breathing was uneven, obviously she had been running all the way without stopping.
Bo Chi suddenly felt a little aggrieved, jumped over and hugged her leg, meowed, complaining that Zhao You had suddenly wanted to take her to be spayed, and was worried that she was nowhere to be found.
Yu Zhao held her little butt, put her in her arms and kissed her head, and whispered: “Don’t be afraid, big sister is here, don’t be afraid, Taotao.“
Bo Chi rubbed against her face and let out a long meow.
The bartender interrupted their comforting each other, and said in confusion: “Strange, where’s the owner of this cat?“
Yu Zhao came back to her senses, her face slightly changing: “She’s not in the room?“
Just as she finished speaking, Zhao You’s phone rang again. Yu Zhao stepped forward and answered it, and heard Zhao You’s dazed voice: “Hello, is this the bartender? Is my cat still at the bar? Wait a minute, I’ll be right there to pick it up.“
Yu Zhao took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: “It’s me, Sister Zhao, where are you now? Why did you leave Taotao, a cat, alone in the room?“
Zhao You was silent for a while, and said faintly: “It’s a long story, very unfortunate… Anyway, it’s my fault, I’ll be right back—“
“Don’t come over.” Yu Zhao interrupted: “Are you at home now? I’ll take Taotao to you.“
Zhao You hesitated, and whispered: “I’m not at home, I’m in the car… Forget it, since you’re there, I’ll leave Taotao to you for now.“
Yu Zhao frowned: “What do you…“
A beeping sound came from the phone, Zhao You had hung up.
Yu Zhao’s forehead twitched, she endured and endured, held the cat, went to the front desk to pay for Zhao You, and returned home with a dark face.
After coaxing the kitty to rest in the cat bed, Yu Zhao looked at the balance in her bank card, picked up a pen, and started to calculate when she could save up ten thousand yuan.
Zhao You’s actions made her feel uneasy. She always felt that although the other party could provide the Ragdoll with excellent material conditions, she was too careless, and could even lose a cat when going out, which was even more outrageous than her.
Yu Zhao couldn’t guarantee that no one else would touch the cat, but she could be certain that she would definitely not lose the cat carelessly.
She originally thought that it would be better for the little Ragdoll to be with Zhao You, but now Yu Zhao had changed her mind. She felt that she could do it too. And she could do it better than Zhao You.
After some careful calculation, Yu Zhao was not very satisfied with her ability to save money. She held the pen and decided to earn money through other methods.
**
Bo Chi lived comfortably at Yu Zhao’s for a few days, and thought that Zhao You didn’t want her anymore. As a result, that afternoon, she found Yu Zhao, wearing sunglasses and a mask, covering herself up.
Yu Zhao was on the phone with Mr. Wang from the company. Seeing her come over, she subtly changed the subject, then naturally hung up the phone, looked at Zhao You strangely, and said: “Why are you dressed like this?“
Zhao You immediately became nervous: “Is there something wrong? Is it, is it strange?“
“Of course.” Yu Zhao’s expression was subtle: “Very few people wear masks in the summer.“
Zhao You was a little guilty: “Covering my face, masks are the most convenient… Where’s Taotao? I’m here to take her home.“
Yu Zhao glanced at the corner, saw the Ragdoll secretly hiding in the drawer, even its tail tucked in, and a smile immediately appeared in her eyes. She continued to ask Zhao You: “Why did you suddenly go to the bar to drink that day? And you didn’t show up for several days afterwards, everyone at the company was worried about you.“
Zhao You smiled bitterly: “I… I heard Mei Lei having sex with another woman before, and I was really sad, so I could only drown my sorrows in alcohol. In the middle of the night, I probably drank too much, and I got up half asleep to go to the bathroom, and as I walked…“
Her face suddenly turned red, and she said awkwardly and uncomfortably: “*It wasn’t convenient for me to show my face afterwards, so I could only wander around outside, and I finally have time to come home now.*”
Yu Zhao said thoughtfully: “Didn’t you always call him Ah Lei before? Why are you calling him Mei Lei now?“
Zhao You herself hadn’t noticed this, and after being stunned, she said blankly: “Did I?“
Yu Zhao looked at her, her gaze falling on her slightly open collar, which she had opened because she felt hot after entering the house. Seeing the ambiguous red marks on the other party’s neck, Yu Zhao’s expression became strange, and she coughed lightly to change the subject: “Taotao was very frightened after being locked in the room this time, and has been hiding in the small drawer, refusing to come out. I think we should give it some time, and let it recover before going home.“
Zhao You was stunned, followed her gaze to the cabinet, hesitated, and opened the drawer. She saw the little white cat trembling and holding its tail, looking extremely pitiful.
Zhao You felt both guilty and distressed, so she could only nod and say: “Then let it stay with you for a while longer, Yu Zhao, I’m troubling you.“
“It’s no trouble.” Yu Zhao looked at the ‘dramatic’ little kitty, a strange glint flashing in her eyes.
Did this kitty seem a little too spiritual, actually able to understand her words, and even cooperate and react?
Yu Zhao recalled their previous interactions, and suddenly discovered something strange – Taotao seemed to really understand their words, and sometimes even expressed its thoughts accurately like a human.
Yu Zhao felt strange, but didn’t have any evidence, so she temporarily suppressed her emotions. After sending Zhao You away, she returned to her room and continued the unfinished conversation with Mr. Wang.
After getting a satisfactory result, she turned to look at the Ragdoll, but found that it was still trembling in the drawer.
Yu Zhao then realized that something was wrong.
If it was acting to fool Zhao You, then Zhao You had already left, why was the kitty still trembling?
Yu Zhao’s heart skipped a beat, she hurriedly opened the drawer and put Bo Chi in the bed, carefully observing whether the kitty was injured.
The snow-white Ragdoll curled up into a ball, and let out an extremely sweet meow when Yu Zhao’s fingers touched it.
Yu Zhao paused, and was about to continue checking its tail, but just as she touched the tip of its tail, she saw the little female cat wiggle its perky little butt.
Yu Zhao: “…”
Could it be what she was thinking?
Yu Zhao was rarely at a loss, stared at the whimpering little Ragdoll for a while, and hesitantly smoothed its fur.
The Ragdoll cat made a blushing sound, its back arching as it was being petted, making its round buttocks even perkier.
Yu Zhao had no choice, hurriedly took out her phone, found the pet store owner she had met once before, and tactfully told him about the kitty’s situation.
The owner was very calm, and said bluntly: “Oh, it’s in heat, right? Haven’t you had it spayed before?“
Yu Zhao hesitated: “No, I haven’t raised a cat before, do cats have to be spayed? Will it be bad for its health?“
The owner said patiently: “It’s harmful not to do it. If you have the idea of breeding, then let it get pregnant before doing it. If not, do it after eight months. How old is Taotao now?“
Yu Zhao had asked Zhao You before, and now she quickly replied: “Only six months.“
“Then it hasn’t fully developed yet, it’s not suitable for spaying.” The owner said: “You can only endure this heat period.“
Yu Zhao looked at the little Ragdoll, and found that it was rubbing and licking her other hand, its voice very uncomfortable. She couldn’t help but ask with pity: “Is there any other way besides enduring it?“
The owner thought for a while: “You can also help it with a cotton swab, but this might cause inflammation, and you need a steady hand. If you use too much force and break the cotton swab, that will also be troublesome.“
Yu Zhao was already dumbfounded, stared at the Ragdoll for a while, gritted her teeth and said: “I understand, I’ll be careful.“
She pulled her hand out of Taotao’s embrace, took out a commonly used cotton swab from the drawer, applied lubricant according to Baidu, then stared at Taotao’s perky little butt, and slowly approached with the cotton swab.
