Chapter 25 Cat Dad is Exhausted

Chapter 25 – Cat Dad is Exhausted

“You must not offend Coach Wei Huang.”

This was the motto of the track and field club, including 2nd-year and 3rd-year students.

As Wei Huang had a similar physique and face as the protagonist of Fist of the North Star, everybody made memes for him and exaggerated the rumor. Everybody in the school spread this for fun at first. A year later, this rumor was accepted as fact, and the students remembered them as an unspoken rule.

Although they were rumors, it was not baseless.

An angry adult could be terrifying and intimidating, they could not hold a candle when Wei Huang wanted to see some blood when he was young. The old pictures when he had a brawl against others were circulated among students, and the older students used them as a reference to pass on the rumor to the new generations.

As a result, students recognized Coach Wei Huang as a dangerous entity that must not be provoked.

And now, something interesting had happened.

…

As Wei Huang came to celebrate with Xiaomao, his voice was louder than usual. Every spectating student near the track overheard the conversation.

As soon as Wei Zhi brought the clothes and chatted with them, the students widened their eyes. Female students let out kya-kya noises while the boys were astonished by Xiaomao’s courage.

“This man is ballsy!”

“Is he dating the princess?”

“Busted! He’s dead.”

“Omae wa mo Shindeiru!”

The spectators got riled up as they loved scandals and dramas. They brought out their phones and filmed Xiaomao, Wei Huang, and Wei Zhi.

Meanwhile, Xiaomao blankly looked at his clothes in Wei Zhi’s arms. He turned to Wei Huang next and inspected the latter’s face.

It was dark and scary.

Xiaomao averted his eyes and looked at Wei Zhi.

“Could you be careful with your words and timing, munya? Please tell your father what really happened, munya!”

Wei Zhi widened her eyes and dropped her jaw. Being enlightened, she nodded and looked at her father.

“Don’t misunderstand, father. Nothing happened between us.”

“Really?” The dark expression of Wei Huang softened.

“This morning, I invited him to the girl’s locker room and asked him to take off his clothes.”

Wei Huang’s eyes were round.

Xiaomao facepalmed.

And the spectators went nuts. Some of them had already passed on popcorn to their friends.

“He wetted his uniform, so I cleaned them and allowed him to use my spare clothes for the time being.”

“Hmm?!”

Xiaomao and Wei Huang’s expressions darkened again. The former wondered whether this girl intentionally used vague vocabulary or she was simply dull. As for Wei Huang, he narrowed his eyes while his killing intent soared.

Unfortunately, as Wei Zhi talked, her arms and hands slipped. The jacket fell to the ground along with the boxer underwear.

The boxer underwear, which Wei Zhi had been hiding, was now in plain sight.

Wei Huang and Xiaomao glanced at the underwear. Both men’s pupils became dull.

Again, the crowd cheered and screamed as if they were cheering for their favorite soccer teams in a match.

Wei Zhi also looked at the boxer. She picked it up and dryly laughed.

“I’m so sorry, Miao Xiaomao. I guess I have to wash your underwear again.”

Once more, the crowd laughed and jeered.

They were watching each other underwear?

Did they reach that state?

These teenagers were interested in relationships. They were excited as if they were in Xiaomao and Wei Zhi’s shoes, especially the school girls.

The coach took a deep breath and smiled, but his hand already seized Xiaomao’s nape. His big and rough hand squeezed the neck.

But Xiaomao’s neck muscle was firmer than Wei Huang had imagined. He couldn’t squeeze it.

While seizing the nape of Xiaomao, Wei Huang confirmed the detail.

“Did you guys do anything else in the locker room?”

Wei Zhi pouted, “Of course not!”

“No snake in the hole? No up-and-down or hump-and-pump activities?”

“What are those? Is that some kind of workout routine?”

Xiaomao’s face lost all color. This girl was too innocent, and her wordings were terrible.

Fortunately, Wei Zhi was not stupid enough to overlook the situation. She realized her mistakes a few seconds later.

Wei Zhi’s face reddened in embarrassment. She yelled.

“Father, I’m old enough. WE.DID.NOT.HAVE.SEX!”

The crowd was greatly disappointed. They mumbled and turned around, leaving the premise and resuming what they were doing previously. Everyone forgot about Xiaomao, who had broken the world record for a 2km run.

Wei Huang’s killing intent subsided, and he let go of his hand. He patted Xiaomao’s back.

Suddenly, Wei Huang seized Xiaomao’s shoulders and forced him to look straight at his scary hardened face.

“Remember this, little ape. You touch my daughter again, you die. Understood?”

“Y-Yes, munya.”

“But if you insist on dating my daughter, you must join my track club and train under me. Once you earn at least one gold medal from the Olympics, you will have the qualification to date her. How about it?!”

Xiaomao’s eyes turned into small dots. He instantly answered with a blank face.

“No, thank you.”

“WHAT?!”

Wei Huang’s face reddened in anger again. He grabbed Xiaomao’s shoulders and shook him, “What’s wrong with my daughter?! Don’t you like her?! All men should like her. Why don’t you want her?!”

“Uh, what?”

“Check out her slim waist, fine abs, tight thighs, and firm round butt! She’s a sexy girl that is perfect to become a mother of a child! See these fine and cute chest side-PUHAAAA!!”

Wei Zhi drove her right foot into Wei Huang’s butt and smacked his head with a baton, which was commonly used in relay races.

Xiaomao stared at the black baton. He was bewildered by how and where Wei Zhi brought that from.

Wei Zhi passed the clothes to Xiaomao. She picked up the underwear and put it on top of the clothes in his arms.

“Go home for the day. Return my clothes after you washed them, okay?”

“… ‘kay, munya.”

“Cool. See you at school. Remember, the bus leaves at 7 AM on Sunday!”

Wei Zhi turned around and dragged her father by his ear. They went into the track club room, but nobody knew what might transpire in there afterward.

Xiaomao let out a sigh of relief. At least, he was cleared to join the event, and he didn’t need to get involved in any romantic relationship with any woman.

He clenched his fist and vowed to himself.

‘I also knew what relationship was like, and I hate it. In this life, I’ve become a virgin again, and I won’t give it to anyone! I’ll take my virginity to the grave!’

Xiaomao went to the cafeteria to get finish dinner and go to work at Qin Yun’s convenience store.

Meanwhile, the male runners on the track had already stopped running. They blankly stared at Wei Zhi, Wei Huang, and Xiaomao.

“Do we still have to run?”

…

Midnight.

Xiaomao came home after going through a long and tiring day.

He had told Qin Yun that he would take a break tomorrow to rest early as he had to join a half-marathon race on Sunday. Fortunately, Qin Yun was an understanding man, and he allowed it.

Now, Xiaomao secured tomorrow’s gaming time.

‘I only need to attend the morning classes tomorrow. The afternoon is freed for sportsmen and club activities, so I can use that time to game and sleep!’

Xiaomao set his goal while he fed his cats. He looked at mama cat, Nyanko, Mu-Nyang, and Mir, who ignored their food bowls and ate the pieces of fish, wet cat food, and hard cat food from the other cat’s bowls. They climbed and stepped on their family members to eat as quickly as possible before they turned around to fight for another plate.

He recorded a clip of their behavior and laughed.

Once the kitties finished their food, they turned to Xiaomao and meowed for more.

Xiaomao gave each of them another full-bowl worth of dry cat food and went to take a bath.

After the bath, he returned to his room for another session of all-night gaming. He yawned and clicked his tongue.

‘What was the required VIT so I don’t need to sleep again? 200? I need that power to game all night without getting too sleepy. It’s so tiring today.’

Xiaomao entered the capsule and started the game, but he almost fell asleep before he could properly start the device.

…

WHOOSH

The catopus reappeared on the deserted island once again.

“Munya!!”

The breezing wind and sound of sea waves soothed Xiaomao after the long troublesome day. He stretched his tentacles and yawned.

The weather was so nice.

‘I’m so sleepy. I feel like I haven’t slept enough.’

Xiaomao looked at the shore, where he had left items there for Slave One to pick up.

The items were no longer there.

Ding

<Your supporter, Slave One, has completed the “Transport” task.>

<Your supporter, Slave One, has deposited a total of 546 items to the premium warehouse.>

Xiaomao nodded in approval. His slave was working hard.

Because his slave had been working hard, the master needed to work harder, too.

Because of this motivation, Xiaomao picked a place under a palm tree and curled, taking a short nap.

…

Ding

<One of your skills, Catnap, has been activated.>

<You have obtained a random catnap blessing.>

<The catnap blessing is randomizing its effects.>

<You have been blessed with the power of [Unyielding Spirit]. The effect lasts 1 hour.>

Xiaomao woke up because of the high-pitched noise of the system notifications. He yelled to the sky.

“SHADDAP, MUNYA!!”

He sat up and lifted his tentacle as if he wanted to open a capsule hatch. However, he found himself grasping air.

Xiaomao blinked several times and looked around.

‘Oh, I’m in the game. Did I just sleep in the game?’

Although he had played the game a lot in his previous life, he never slept in the game as it increased his electric bills. To save some money, he’d rather sleep normally.

Xiaomao looked at the clock. Only an hour had passed since he had logged into the game.

Feeling refreshed, Xiaomao dashed toward the gnoll cave. Upon arriving at the dungeon, he stopped and opened his premium inventory to grab some fish.

Before the grinding, he increased the [Protein from Fish]’s mastery first.

After an hour, Xiaomao ate 400 raw blue rarity fishes, and the game system prompted him with notification messages.

Ding

<Congratulations. Your mastery of Protein from Fish add-on skill has reached 10 %.>

<Congratulations. Your mastery of Fish Gourmet skill has reached 10 %.>

<You can increase your attribute up to 60.>

<Your daily fish consumption limit has been increased to 600 fish a day.>

Xiaomao clenched the tip of his tentacle hand as if he clenched his fist. He grabbed fish that could increase his status points and ate them right away.
