The Heroine Fell Deeply For Her [Quick Transmigration] 190

Chapter 190: There’s a Fox Here (Entertainment Circle) Part 3

After changing her shoes, Tao Ning, dressed in a simple camisole, carried the jacket and the cat inside. Yu Shuangjiang felt like a pampered princess, held so carefully.

Inside the apartment, feeling safer, Yu Shuangjiang relaxed, observing her surroundings.

Tao Ning placed her on the sofa, letting her explore, not rushing to interact, still unsure about Yu Shuangjiang’s situation, figuring it would take time.

A faint scent of perfume lingered in the air, the apartment clearly belonging to a single occupant.

This wasn’t surprising, with Tao Ning’s picky nature, even a goddess wouldn’t meet her standards.

Her sharp tongue wasn’t directed at anyone in particular, but at the entire world, and no one could argue with her, despite her beautiful face.

Therefore, Yu Shuangjiang concluded: Tao Ning deserves to be single, destined to be alone because of her sharp tongue.

A bedroom door was ajar, light spilling out, faint voices coming from within.

Stretching languidly, Yu Shuangjiang stood up, extending a paw towards the soft sofa, then, seeing her dirty paws, stepped back onto the jacket.

The jacket was expensive, but she could afford to replace it.

The sofa, however, was worth a fortune, so she’d better stay put.

Tao Ning, ordering cat supplies and fresh food online, was interrupted by a meow, and she poked her head out of the bedroom, phone in hand: “What is it? What do you want?”

Yu Shuangjiang stretched her neck and meowed loudly.

The kitten’s voice, high-pitched and attention-seeking, successfully summoned Tao Ning, who crouched down beside the sofa: “What do you want?”

“Meow.” Yu Shuangjiang looked at her, then thought, Meowing won’t make her understand.

And if she enjoys it too much, my throat will hurt.

So she stopped meowing, turning to lick her fur, shaking her paws, covered in dirt and dust.

Her fur was dirty, and so was the jacket, she couldn’t stand it, she needed a bath.

Yu Shuangjiang hadn’t figured out how to communicate her needs, but Tao Ning seemed to understand.

“A bath? I don’t have a pet dryer, but a hairdryer should work, right?” She picked up the jacket and carried it to the bathroom, placing a clean towel in the sink. “Stand here, so you don’t slip.”

Yu Shuangjiang the cat, hearing her gentle voice, almost nodded.

She quickly suppressed the urge.

How could this woman be so different towards humans and animals? The actress wondered.

Tao Ning turned off the faucet: “The water is ready, you can come down now.”

Testing the temperature, she carefully placed the cat in the sink, pouring water over its fur.

Being submerged in water was an unpleasant sensation for a cat, its fur heavy and soaked, and Yu Shuangjiang flicked her tail.

She had wanted a bath, but now, instinctively wanting to escape, she forced herself to stay put on the towel.

After a few attempts, Tao Ning started washing the dirt and dust from her fur, including her paws.

As she cleaned, Tao Ning said in surprise, “You’re not even running, that’s rare.”

Yu Shuangjiang, her chin raised proudly, thought, Of course, who do you think I am?

Tao Ning gently untangled the matted fur on her chin.

Yu Shuangjiang quickly lowered her chin, realizing Tao Ning was talking to a cat, Why am I so proud? I’m not a cat.

Long-haired cats’ fur easily got tangled, and without a brush, Tao Ning could only patiently untangle it, changing the water repeatedly until the surprisingly light and incredibly dirty cat was finally clean.

Her gentle and meticulous movements made Yu Shuangjiang purr contentedly.

This peaceful moment lasted until Tao Ning dried her fur and pulled out a hairdryer.

Tao Ning: “I have to dry your fur, or you’ll get sick.”

Initially, Yu Shuangjiang didn’t mind, It’s just a hairdryer, why so serious?

Then Tao Ning turned it on: “Whoosh!”

Yu Shuangjiang: “!!!” A noisy monster! Get it away from me!

A firm grip on her scruff, and she was held down as the hairdryer blasted hot air.

Yu Shuangjiang’s ears flattened against her head, So noisy, so noisy, so noisy…

No wonder cats hated hairdryers, she hated it too, her enhanced hearing amplifying the noise, like a hundred generators running simultaneously beside her ears.

It was deafening.

Clean and dry, Yu Shuangjiang was placed back on the sofa, now free to knead it with her paws, the soft texture almost bringing tears to her eyes.

This expensive sofa was truly comfortable.

Wait, kneading is embarrassing, I can’t do that.

Suppressing the urge, she sat there, pretending to be dignified, her fur warm and fluffy.

Which meant she was hungry.

This time, she didn’t have to meow, the doorbell rang, and Tao Ning casually patted her head: “Food’s here, wait here, I’ll get it.”

She went to answer the door, checking the order before sending the delivery person away.

Yu Shuangjiang, waiting impatiently, wondered what was taking so long.

She looked down, estimating the distance, which was quite high for a kitten.

Then, she made up her mind, I’ll just jump, I’m not a cat anyway!

Jumping off the sofa for the first time, she landed chin-first on the soft carpet, not hurt at all, and walked towards Tao Ning, her paws padding softly.

Tao Ning, pouring cat litter from a bag, looked down and saw a fluffy kitten at her feet.

Its large, expressive eyes stared at her intently.

“…” Tao Ning, her face impassive, said, “So cute.”

Then she patted the kitten’s head, a long, soothing stroke, its fluffy tail rising and falling.

Yu Shuangjiang didn’t scratch her, just sat there, her tail curled around her paws.

Hungry, she glanced at the large bag with a picture of a cat, a faint milky scent wafting from it.

Mistaking the cat litter for cat food, Yu Shuangjiang refused to eat it!

She looked at Tao Ning, her eyes accusing: If you try to feed me that, I’ll flip your bowl!

This time, she had overestimated Tao Ning’s ability to understand cats, who didn’t get the message.

Seeing the kitten’s reflection in her eyes, Tao Ning smiled faintly: “Hungry? I’ll get you something to eat.”

She put down the bag of cat litter and walked away with another bag.

Yu Shuangjiang was stunned, frozen in place.

What about the equal hostility towards humans and the understanding of cats?

She just left?

She meowed a few times, but Tao Ning didn’t return, and Yu Shuangjiang, annoyed, curled up into a ball.

If she were still human, her assistant would bring her food, she wouldn’t have to beg for it.

The indignity of being a cat washed over her, and she felt miserable.

Being a cat was one thing, but being a cat with human consciousness, trapped in a small body, unable to even open a door, was unbearable.

Her misery didn’t last long, a warm hand reaching out, lifting her and placing her on the table.

The wooden table was cold, and Yu Shuangjiang curled up again.

She wasn’t interested in this expensive table now.

A faint meaty aroma, and a small plate of shredded white meat was placed before her.

Tao Ning’s voice: “I didn’t have much time, I rinsed it with cold water, it should be fine, eat.”

Knowing high salt content wasn’t good for cats, she didn’t dare give her human food.

Yu Shuangjiang sniffed the air, immediately recognizing the familiar scent of plain, boiled chicken breast, her staple diet.

A weight-loss meal, edible.

Her ingrained professionalism made her want to cry, even as a cat, she was still worried about her figure.

Tao Ning, who had been worried she wouldn’t eat it, saw the kitten gobbling it down, its four paws finally useful.

Tao Ning: “Not picky, that’s good.”

After watching for a while, she returned to the kitchen.

Tao Ning also made herself dinner, sitting down to eat.

The cat ate on the table, both enjoying their meal after a long day.

A moment of peaceful coexistence, and soon, Yu Shuangjiang was full, her small cat stomach easily satisfied.

Tao Ning, worried she would overeat, had given her a small portion.

Having finished her meal, Yu Shuangjiang looked around, her attention drawn to Tao Ning, who was quietly eating.

Her long hair was tied up, her casual clothes a warm color, creating an illusion of gentleness.

For some reason, the word “wife” popped into Yu Shuangjiang’s mind.

She quickly dismissed the disturbing thought, then realized something else.

Tao Ning could actually cook, she had imagined her dining in a fancy restaurant, criticizing the food and then leaving.

That would be more her style, this domestic Tao Ning seemed like a dream.

Yu Shuangjiang the cat moved, walking towards Tao Ning, her paws padding softly, and looked into her bowl.

Let me see what you’re eating, it smells delicious.

Before her head could reach the bowl, Tao Ning stopped her, and Yu Shuangjiang sneezed, her nose touching the soup.

She licked her fur, it did smell good.

“Did you choke?” Tao Ning quickly grabbed a tissue and tried to wipe her face, but Yu Shuangjiang turned away, refusing.

After years of dieting, finally some human food, she wouldn’t let it be wiped away.

What is she eating? It smells so good!

Just a single sniff, and she felt like all her years of dieting had been a waste.

Unable to catch her, Tao Ning gave up, making sure she wasn’t choking, and continued eating.

For cat owners, sharing food with their cats was normal, and any open container was considered a shared water bowl.

If a cat saw it, it was theirs.

After finishing, Tao Ning cleared the table, putting the dishes in the dishwasher, then filled a clean bowl with warm water and placed it before Yu Shuangjiang.

Tao Ning: “Have some water, I’ll go prepare the litter box.”

Yu Shuangjiang lapped up the water, she was indeed thirsty, thinking, It’s useless, I’m not using a litter box.

But her protests were in vain, and a litter box filled with tofu cat litter and a layer of mineral litter was placed nearby.

The living room lights were turned off, and Yu Shuangjiang, watching Tao Ning from the table, was picked up and carried to the bedroom.

No way, she’s so prepared, but she didn’t even get a cat bed? Yu Shuangjiang thought, her body stiffening. And I haven’t been vaccinated, aren’t you afraid I’ll scratch you?

Have some common sense, you sharp-tongued woman!

It seemed Tao Ning hadn’t prepared a cat bed and didn’t intend for her to sleep on the large sofa either.

Holding the cat firmly, preventing it from struggling, she carried it into the bedroom.

Yu Shuangjiang’s paws landed on the soft bed, and she froze, the faint scent of laundry detergent filling her nostrils, a freshly made bed with the covers turned down invitingly.

Clearly, this wasn’t an eight-hundred-square-meter bed fit for a CEO cat, but Tao Ning’s own bed.

The rustling of clothes behind her, Tao Ning was changing.

Yu Shuangjiang, her back turned, silently questioned her existence as a cat.

Soon, Tao Ning returned, sat down on the bed, and opened her laptop.

Seeing the calico cat practically burying itself in the pillows, she chuckled and picked it up.

Tao Ning: “Why are you sleeping like that? Can you even breathe?”

Yu Shuangjiang looked utterly defeated, her limbs limp.

Placing the cat on the pillow, Tao Ning typed a title on the blank document:

Burning Heart

Having learned about her mission, she had already started brainstorming ideas, the original host’s experience as a screenwriter a valuable resource.

Yu Shuangjiang lay on the pillow, listening to the rhythmic tapping of the keyboard, a soothing white noise that lulled her to sleep.

Still working so late? Didn’t she just come back?

Yu Shuangjiang couldn’t resist, lifting her head to look at the laptop screen, then, ten seconds later, she fell asleep.

The Yu Shuangjiang of the past could stay up all night memorizing lines, but now, exhausted, three lines were enough to make her sleepy.

Burning what now? She didn’t even register the title.

Overcome by drowsiness, she curled up on the pillow and closed her eyes.

It was late, the spring rain still falling, nourishing the new leaves.

In the room, only a bedside lamp was on, the laptop screen’s light reflecting in Tao Ning’s eyes as she typed.

Taking a break, she turned to look at the cat, which, initially curled up in a ball, had now rolled onto its back, its belly exposed.

After staring at it for a moment, Tao Ning took a lens cloth from her glasses case, folded it in half, and placed it on the cat’s belly.

She closed her laptop, put it aside, and also lay down to sleep.

Fox spirits didn’t need to sleep, but she had developed the habit.

Later that night, a kitten with wide eyes sat in the litter box, unable to jump onto the toilet.

One could endure hardship, but not unnecessary hardship.

Her chin still hurt from falling off the sofa earlier, what if she missed and fell into the toilet?

She would be traumatized for life.

A few scratching sounds from the litter box, and a small figure emerged, walking towards the bed, still half-asleep.

Yu Shuangjiang looked up, the bed too high to jump onto, she would need to grab the edge of the blanket.

But the silk sheets seemed too delicate, she might tear them.

Before she could find a solution, a hand reached down and lifted her onto the bed.

Back on the pillow, she continued to sleep, unaware of the lens cloth now covering her belly.

The next morning, Yu Shuangjiang, finally awake, kneaded the lens cloth with her paws, her head tilted in thought.

She wondered why she hadn’t just slept on the sofa last night, why return to Tao Ning’s bed?

And the bedroom door hadn’t been locked, she could have easily pushed it open with her head.

It was too late to ponder this now, the bed was empty, Tao Ning, an early riser, already up and about.

Tao Ning finished packing her suitcase and turned around, seeing the familiar small figure emerge from the bedroom, sitting down and letting out a loud meow.

If you had asked Yu Shuangjiang yesterday what she would do if she turned into a cat and was adopted,

She would have smiled politely, read the message, and ignored it, wanting to throw the person out.

But having actually become a cat, adopted by her nemesis, her only thought was: Joy! Time for revenge!
