CH 13

To be honest, Tai Zi didn’t prepare this contract in a day or two, rather after the country had officially announced this policy, Kang Tai Zi had long finished preparing it for himself and Kang Xing Luo. He was sure that beside him, the other five cats also had this piece of contract and had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Now that he was a pavilion near the water, how could he not make the first move?

(T/N: lit. a pavilion near the water (idiom); fig. using one’s proximity to the powerful to obtain favor)

The National Universal Raising Agreement was incredibly complex and could take up to two days and nights with a lawyer if you wanted to analyze the clause in detail, but Kang Tai Zi thought the rest could be ignored except one specific clause that was of importance:

Joint account.

That was to say, by joining his and Kang Xing Luo’s bank accounts, later on, all of the money he earned and assets he owned would be unconditionally divided in half to Kang Xing Luo and vice versa. In other words:—— thoroughly materialistic sharing.

This was much more united than the so-called word “Marriage” used by past humans historically as if they were mutually dependent on each other/mutually cooperating with each other.fused intertwined.

Moreover, this could only exist between humans and evolved species.

This kind of agreement seemed unfair due to the existence of economic imbalance, however, since its initial introduction, it had been highly supported by both humans and evolved species.

Housepets were originally raised by humans, following the evolution, half-species retained some of their animal features and fully evolved species could morph into a perfect appearance of a human. However, despite the physical changes, there was still a high degree of emotional dependence on the owner.

Consequently, within the society-wide discussion, humans and evolved species could re-establish raising relationships through the agreement if both parties were willing.

Naturally, evolved species who disliked their owners had the alternative to live independently with a registered account, while those that still wanted to live with their owners could remain with them.

""

According to the incomplete statistics, 98% of evolved dog breeds chose to continue living with their owners, and 77% of cats……..

Tai Zi’s eyebrows twitched, realizing he had thought too far ahead.

He returned his gaze back to Kang Xing Luo’s face, Kang Xing Luo was not rejoicing, rather it was somewhat indescribable.

“…..What’s wrong?”

Why did it look like there was something wrong?

Kang Xing Luo hesitated, not knowing how to organize his words, but looking at the atmosphere around him, he was clearly thinking on how to refuse.

Kang Tai Zi instantly felt hurt.

“…Do you think that my conditions aren’t good enough for you? I’m rich, although I’m not as rich as the long fur guy, but I’m famous! My reputation is …er not better than the long fur guy, but he … he …Yes! He looks too fierce, his legs and cat form are black and not as good looking as me!”

“So, I suggest you, choose me!”

Kang Xing Luo, “…”

The conversation couldn’t carry on, he didn’t understand half of what was being said. Kang Xing Luo pushed the ‘Support Agreement’ aside, Kang Tai Zi felt a sudden heartthrob covering his chest as he interrupted, “Don’t rush in making your decision, think it over…”

(T/N ‘Support Agreement’ is basically like having a sugar daddy)

""

It’s impossible to think it over……..Kang Xing Luo thought to himself. However, the words were unfavourable and the other party urgently cast away the situation, so he could only nod his head.

Kang Tai Zi, “Hurry up and eat, we’ll do business afterwards.”

Kang Xing Luo, “…..”

What business???

Kang Xing Luo, “I think it’s better for me to leave now.”

Kang Tai Zi, “Why?” his tone was upright and frank, apparently, he didn’t think there was anything inappropriate about his behaviour at all.

Kang Xing Luo, “There is someone waiting for me.”

How could it be possible for Tai Zi to think of Li Hong Ming? He could only think of the gloomy-looking Maine Coon, unconsciously he completely threw away his public persona, angered on the spot, “No, I won’t let you go.”

Kang Xing Luo, “…”

Kang Xing Luo lost his appetite all of sudden. He never thought that this superstar would be so resolute in his attitude of forcibly “supporting” him.

To block Kang Tai Zi’s thoughts, he could only divert his attention by slowly drinking the porridge one bite at time.

Kang Xing Luo’s heart was complicated, yet his body was fairly honest, his stomach warmed up after taking a few bites, he felt much better than before.

As he was eating, he heard a click sound above his head, Kang Tai Zi was taking a picture with him.

Kang Xing Luo, “What is that for?”

Kang Tai Zi said leisurely, “It’s nothing, you continue eating your food.”

After saying that, Kang Tai Zi used the retouching function to make his already sparkling golden hair to be more glistening. He then opened WeChat, looked for Kang Lai Yin and sent it.

Kang Tai Zi:——Look who I am with now.

After sending the message, Kang Tai Zi was full of vitality, so much so he wanted to roll on the ground for a bit when he thought of the long fur guy’s expression after seeing the picture.

Awesome!

Infuriate that long fur guy!

Kang Tai Zi was ecstatic that he leaned close to Kang Xing Luo and pointed to his cheek, “Giving you special permission to kiss me.”

Kang Xing Luo, “…”

Kang Xing Luo extended out his finger to poke Kang Tai Zi’s face since Kang Tai Zi was in a good mood, he didn’t think it was perfunctory. He got up and said, “I’m going to take a shower, wait for me.”

The word ‘shower’ was so informative that Kang Xing Luo, who had been in a state of confusion, finally panicked. When Kang Tai Zi entered the bathroom, he made an audacious decision.

This won’t do……

He needed to run away!

Although, this kind of situation was similar to ‘encountering an overbearing president and getting forcibly taken away’ was terrible, but after all, he(Kang Tai Zi) did help him and he also ate his food. He thought that he was in the wrong, Kang Xing Luo searched around the room for a slip of paper and hastily left him a note with a few words.

Tiptoeing carefully towards the door, Kang Xing Luo was worried the whole time that Kang Tai Zi heard him. Even though Kang Tai Zi entered the bathroom, he hadn’t heard the sound of water for a long time.

The so-called showering, could it be dry cleaning?

There was not enough time to think much, Kang Xing Luo dragged his rigid limbs, finally, reaching the door, he quietly opened the door, the outside world was similar to a new world with the Buddha’s halo shining gloriously.

He could immediately be liberated!

Kang Xing Luo took a step outside, turned and came face to face with a pair of big black grape-like eyes, the young man with dog ears was also taken aback and stared at him, tilting his head with a dumbfounded look…

“?”

Kang Xing Luo, “…”

Kang Xing Luo’s single sentence question was split three-way, “Why didn’t you leave?”

Chai Ke Nai said innocently, “I am obeying my natural instincts.”

Kang Xing Luo was baffled, “What natural instincts?”

Chai Ke Nai, “Guarding the door.”

Kang Xing Luo, “…”

Kang Xing Luo, “…”

Kang Xing Luo, “…”

What kind of natural instinct is guarding the door??? Could it be that you’re really a dog???!

Kang Xing Luo truly wanted to ridicule him, even so he endured and asked, “Can I go?”

Chai Ke Nai, “Yes, you can.”

Kang Xing Luo was astonished, “Eh? Really, I can?”

Chai Ke Nai, “You can.”

“You won’t tell Tai Zi?”

Chai Ke Nai, “I won’t, but if you walk past me, I won’t be able to stop screaming.”

Kang Xing Luo, “…”

Kang Xing Luo silently returned to the room, closing the door with anxiety, he felt completely helpless, agitated and hard to come by anger, he pressed the television remote control.

The television was initially broadcasting soap opera, Kang Xing Luo hadn’t finished watching the scene when the screen changed abruptly.

【Attention viewers, we are now interrupting with a newsflash, at City X District X there is an evolved species going/walking through high buildings at a high speed!! This emulation of the former time Spider-man without any security measures and relying only on physical abilities is extremely dangerous!! Everyone please do not imitate!!

Author’s Note:

Got scared to death today QAQ

Took my two little princesses for sterilization, going on the operating table after the anaesthesia to discover my cat has ascites. Thus, had to perform surgery to remove it, and stayed in the hospital.

Thinking about it, there is a lingering fear, Dai Mao is usually chubby, but didn’t expect that her belly wasn’t full of meat instead it was ascites……Fortunately, it was discovered early on and there’s nothing wrong now. Can take her back tomorrow QAQ.

Distressed until I want to cry QAQ.
