Chapter 10: Kitty’s Ability

< TOC >


Honestly, Yan Chong had not been doing well these past few years and was struggling with money.

He was so poor that when he attended university for the first time last year, his belongings amounted to a puny bundle wrapped in cloth. 

After he entered the city, he was the frequent target of jokes because he was a demon who had come from the countryside.

Now, looking at all the luggage that a tiny kitty had brought, Yan Chong was hit hard. For him, a demon who had struggled through poverty, the mental blow stung.

It really hurt a lot.

Yan Chong scrunched up his face: “Let’s go, senior will help you.”

The white kitty meowed and cheerfully bounded over to the luggage cart. Exerting force, she pushed the cart forward to Yan Chong, who reached out his hand and took control of it.

The demon and the cat exited the unused conference room and saw a Siamese cat standing at the entrance to the office. Qi Xiaohan lifted her paw before hesitatingly lowering it again.

The Siamese cat tentatively poked her head inside the entrance to observe. The office was filled with people so she decided to wait outside.

All of a sudden, the Siamese cat turned around. It saw the pretty white kitty from the plane earlier and silently stared at her for a moment. Then, it pushed open the door and strode inside the office.

Yan Chong: “Let’s go?”

The white kitty nodded and padded alongside Yan Chong.

Yan Chong realized that the kitty was consciously trying to walk quickly and held back laughter. “Senior sister Lu Sha reminded me over WeChat that we need to hurry up because you have perishable food.”

Qi Xiaohan immediately nodded and looked up towards her senior brother: “My older sister told me that the school had a refrigerator so she packed a lot of food for me. A large portion of it needs to be frozen.”

It was very easy for the food to spoil, especially in this weather.

“I almost forgot. Senior brother, do you eat beef jerky? I brought a lot from home. When we get to the dorms, I’ll give you some.”

Yan Chong: “Of course!”

The cat and the demon chatted cheerfully the entire way.

“Wait, are you eating first or going back to the dorms? I think that you should go back to the dorms first so you can put all your luggage away. I can wait at the entrance for you. After you finish, we can go to the dining hall together. How does that sound?”

The white kitty promptly nodded.

Ning Ning was worried that Qi Xiaohan would not adapt to the school food easily, so she packed lots of food from home, filling a large suitcase. Much of the food was taken from the freezer and packed the day the kitty was leaving. If it was left in this scorching heat, it would definitely spoil.

Finally, they arrived at the dormitory. Yan Chong showed the lady on duty his identification before she let him inside.

During the period when students moved in at the start of school, there were special exceptions to the dorm rules, and senior brothers were allowed inside.

As Yan Chong pushed the luggage cart, he pressed the button for the elevator.

Qi Xiaohan entered her room and found that her roommates had already arrived.

A snow leopard was trying to make her bed and jumped every which way around it. She looked very busy. At the sound of the door opening, the snow leopard was startled and tumbled down onto the ground. Her beautiful eyes were opened wide as she stared at Qi Xiaohan and Yan Chong.

Qi Xiaohan: “…Hi, I’m Qi Xiaohan. I’m also living in this room.” 

The snow leopard came to her senses and quickly got up. “My name is Zhou Mingming. I just helped clean the beds up. You can directly put on the duvet covers.”

She faced Yan Chong and spoke again: “Hello, senior brother.”

Yan Chong grinned at her while nodding. He glanced around their room: “Has everyone living here arrived?”

Zhou Mingming shook her head: “We’re still missing another cat.” 

(T/N: The text says ‘金猫’ = golden cat. This is probably referring to the Asian golden cat, but I’m not sure.)

A head poked out of the bathroom door, sensing sound outside, before calling out: “Hello, senior brother Yan Chong!”

Yan Chong faced the direction of the lively lynx and politely nodded.

(T/N: ‘山猫’ = lynx or bobcat. Most likely lynx because from what I can tell from my limited reading, bobcats don’t live near Asia?)

Qi Xiaohan hopped onto her stack of suitcases and used her front two paws to try to push the top suitcase down. 

Yan Chong noticed her struggle and helped remove all of Qi Xiaohan’s luggage from the cart.

The white kitty thanked him before opening the suitcase, which was filled to the brim with food.

Qi Xiaohan pawed through the items inside before grabbing at a bag of beef jerky. She lifted her fluffy paw and pushed the bag towards her senior brother, meowing.

“Miaowow.”

Yan Chong picked up the bag of beef jerky. She had not made an empty promise after all. He felt oddly moved.

“Thanks, junior sister Xiaohan.”

Little white kitty: “No need to thank me.”

“I’ll go down and wait for you there. Don’t go overboard with organizing everything, I still need to take you to eat lunch.” Saying this, the demon brought the bag of jerky with him and happily pushed the now empty luggage cart away.

Qi Xiaohan glanced at the two big cats inside her dorm and meowed.

The two big cats looked at the small kitty standing next to the luggage at the door, then looked at themselves, then looked at the kitty again. For some reason, they felt mismatched.

Their furry paws quivered, but did not move. The small kitty meowed again.

This little kitty looked both soft and small, as well as fluffy.

Qi Xiaohan tilted her head and shot a glance filled with doubt at her two roommates. Her tail nervously swayed around while she looked up towards them, meowing. The two big cats acted like a power switch had been suddenly flipped and threw themselves over to the small kitty. The three kitties rolled into a lump.

Struggling between the two big cats, the small kitty poked out her head with much effort. The snow leopard’s coat of fur was thick, and Qi Xiaohan was almost suffocating. She felt like the two big cats were licking her head and rubbing against her fur.

The little kitty raised her paw and swiped at them: “Miaowow, miaowow!”

The two big cats were heavy, and after they rubbed their scent all over the small kitty, they were satisfied and stood up. Suddenly, the little kitty jumped up. A furry little kitty lump rolled on the big cats. 

Their new roommate was so cute and fluffy, and they were especially careful not to injure her. They let the little kitty roll all over them and leave her scent on them. Then, they saw her meow with a pleased expression and raise her chin.

The lynx leaned her head down and rubbed Qi Xiaohan: “Hello, I’m Lu Ling.”

The white kitty meowed and reached a paw up to pat the lynx’s head.

“My sister packed me lots of food and I need to store it in the refrigerator. Later, we can eat hot pot together.”

The kitty had remembered to store the perishable food and proudly patted the suitcase beside her.

“Wow! Your sister is thoughtful and packed so much stuff!” The two big cats circled around the pile of luggage, and spoke with a tone of envy.

One suitcase was still open from when Qi Xiaohan gave Yan Chong a bag of beef jerky. Qi Xiaohan hopped onto another suitcase and opened it. Then, she proceeded to open the rest of her bags.

Facing the suitcase filled with food, the white kitty realized that she needed to store it and looked everywhere around the dorm for the refrigerator.

When she realized what the kitty was looking for, the lynx pointed a paw in a direction:

“It’s over there.”

The kitty exerted a lot of effort to push the suitcase towards the refrigerator.

The refrigerator was located in a corner of the dormitory room. Although the room was designed for four people to live in, it was still quite spacious. It was an ensuite dorm, with a balcony and a washroom. Additionally, there was a washing machine inside the bathroom. For a dormitory, these conditions were great.

The two roommates went over to help the kitty struggling to push the packed suitcase.

“Door, open.”

The kitty meowed at the refrigerator and the door opened at her command.

The lynx looked at her roommate in shock: “Wow, I’ve never seen this before!”

The kitty bobbed her head up and down, her eyes gleaming. “I just used a magic spell. It’s not anything major.”

Both cats glanced at her with interest and Qi Xiaohan had no choice but to stop and explain: “Sometimes, it is helpful. Other times, it is quite useless.”

As she spoke, the kitty lifted a paw and pointed it at the refrigerator. Loudly, she meowed.

“Suitcase, float!”

The suitcase trembled on the floor for a moment, before settling on the ground again.

The cat awkwardly stepped with her paws and felt a bit sour. Suddenly, she yelled again: “Beef meatballs, beef meat slices, mutton meat slices, fish fillets, crab legs, float!”

The items inside the suitcase quivered before actually floating up. The items all flew in the direction of the refrigerator.

“Wow!”

Sitting beside the suitcase were two big cats, watching with surprise.
