Chapter 35: You Wanna Fight Me? You Think You Can Win?
The sound of boiling water was like a war song, heralding the start of a great battle.
The two cats, ready for the fight, stared at each other intently. Like springs compressed to their limit, once they struck, it would be with lightning speed.
“What are you two doing? No fighting, you hear me?” The Lady Boss, noticing the situation in the store, immediately spoke up when she saw the cats’ movements. “If you dare fight in my shop, neither of you are allowed back next time.”
“Big Orange, why are you bullying Mimi? You’re so much bigger than him, how can you bully him?”
Big Orange was so bad, actually bullying Mimi. He was a whole head taller than Mimi, how could he have the nerve?
“Meow~ (That’s right, that’s right, Big Orange is so bad. )” Li Li, who was just about to pounce, immediately turned around and rubbed against the Lady Boss’s leg upon hearing this.
He even looked at the orange cat with a provocative gaze from time to time. You little thing, you wanna fight me? Even without fighting, he had eight hundred ways to make the other party suffer in silence.
“Meow~ (You…… you’re shameless. )” The orange cat’s eyes widened when he saw this. It took him a while to spit out these words.Clearly, this b*stard was the one who wanted to attack him first, but now he was pretending to be the victim. Was this human blind?
Besides, where was he smaller than him? He just had more fur, so he looked bigger. If he took a bath, he’d be the same size, wouldn’t he?
The d*mn fatty was so shameless, dragging a human into their cat business.
It p*ssed him off. And the human was actually blind!
“Meow~ (We’re both out here begging for food, don’t act like you have any shame, okay? )” Li Li rubbed against the Lady Boss’s leg, taunting the orange cat relentlessly.
Angry? That’s right. The angrier the other party got, the more smug he felt. It would be best if he could make him faint from anger.
“This fat cat is really……” The Guidance Director shook his head when he saw Li Li’s behavior.
It was the first time he had seen such a human-like expression on a cat’s face.
“Don’t be afraid, Mimi. Sister will stand up for you. Let’s go eat, ignore this bad orange.” The Lady Boss said, bending down to pick up Li Li.
When Li Li saw this, the expression on his face instantly turned pitiful. The speed of his transformation made the Guidance Director speechless.
This fat cat was really a master of disguise. It would be difficult for him to suffer any losses outside with his acting skills.
He could even fool humans, let alone other cats. He was so cunning.
“Meow~ (This is so frustrating! Stupid human, brainless human, I’m never coming back here again. )” The orange cat cursed under his breath as he watched the deceived Lady Boss, then turned and left.
It was so infuriating. Stupid human. He wouldn’t waste his breath on this stupid human anymore. She was as dumb as a pig, explaining wouldn’t do any good.
“Meow~ (Don’t run away, Big Orange. Let’s have another go. )” Li Li continued to provoke, seeing the orange cat retreating.
But the orange cat left without looking back, leaving Li Li feeling very smug.
He had only used a small trick, and the other party had run away in defeat. This was what they called a bloodless victory.
“Alright, Mimi. Big Orange is gone, let’s get ready to eat.” The Lady Boss said with a smile, putting Li Li down and taking the bread slices out of the bread maker. ṟ�
“Meow~ (Okay, okay. )” Li Li replied, after driving away that stupid orange cat. He wouldn’t be coming back anymore. From now on, he was the only regular customer at this milk tea shop.
Thinking of this, Li Li became even happier. He sat on the floor, waiting for the chicken breast to cool down.
After settling Li Li’s meal, the Lady Boss finally got to work on her jasmine tea.
Soon, the Guidance Director, holding a cup of jasmine tea, looked at Li Li and left.
After confirming that the fat cat was safe outside, he no longer worried as before and could return to school with peace of mind.
“Meow~ (Uncle, you’re leaving? Aren’t you going to stay and play a little longer? )” Li Li stood up slightly as he watched the Guidance Director leave, but he was already gone.
“Mimi, do you know him?” The Lady Boss, who was squatting, noticed Li Li getting up while eating and asked.
Come to think of it, the Guidance Director had also come in when Mimi first entered the shop.
Could Mimi really know him? But he was notoriously strict at Lantian University. He didn’t seem like someone who liked animals.
She hadn’t heard of him having a cat while she was at the school.
“Meow~ (Of course, Uncle and I are old friends. )” Li Li replied, chewing on the meat strips, his little ears twitching. He suddenly turned his head and saw a rat’s head poking out from the ventilation duct in the back kitchen.
His eyes instantly became dangerous. Good heavens, how dare it come to his dining place? Was this a place it could come to?
“Whoosh!”
Li Li’s hind legs exerted force, and his whole body shot up like a rocket. He jumped two meters high, and under the Lady Boss’s astonished gaze, he stepped on the counter next to him, clawed his way up the wall, and scuttled onto the duct like a big spider.
The sneaky rat was looking down, when suddenly a large meat pad like a mangosteen appeared from the side, and with a “swish,” it grabbed his head and pulled it down.
The rat didn’t even have time to react before he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if someone was trying to split his skull open.
“Squeak!”
The rat only had time to let out a scream before the world turned upside down. His whole body spun 360 degrees in the air, and the sound of bones breaking came from his thin neck as he fell.
Li Li, having successfully struck, bit the rat’s neck in mid-air before releasing his claws and landing steadily on the counter with the force of gravity. The not-quite-dead rat in his mouth pedaled its legs like it was riding a bicycle, its tail twitching.
“Ah!” The Lady Boss jumped in fright when she saw this, but after seeing what was in Li Li’s mouth, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “You scared me! I thought you little rascal knocked the light down. Turns out you were catching a mouse.”
She had heard that Mimi was good at catching mice, but seeing it today, she felt he was even better than the legends said.
After all, what kind of cat could jump two meters high, step on her counter full of milk tea cans, climb the wall, and catch a mouse?
“Meow~ (Of course, there can’t be any mice where I am. )” Li Li jumped down, replying as he threw the rat into the trash can.
