I Just Want to Be in a Relationship

Chapter 222: A new Family Member (1)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Yu Qinghuan adopted a little ginger cat.

One night when he came back from filming, he happened to meet this little creature. Being hit by a car, the kitten lied on the side of the road with a pool of blood beside it, looked like it was going to die.

Fortunately, Yu Qinghuan was a slow driver. Seeing the poor creature at first glance, he had no hesitation and rushed to take it to the hospital.

The kitten, however, left with only three legs after the serious injury even if it had been treated in time. Such a disabled stray cat would not be accepted by pet shops and few people were willing to adopt it.

It was a living creature, after all, Yu Qinghuan thought in his heart. Feeling he didn’t have the heart to abandon the little kitten, he took it home. The day he found the cat was the sixteenth, so he named it ‘sixteenth’.

Yu Qinghuan at first thought that stray cat would more or less act wildly when it was first taken to the home, so he had been ready for it. However, Sixteenth turned out to be a very gentle boy.

The cat was at ease at home. He rubbed up and down on Qinghuan lovingly every day, cute and clingy.

Huo Qu had no problem with the new member of their family, but he kept an alert eye on his two precious fish every day. When at home, he would keep the fish at hand, and when absent, he would lock the fish tank in the secondary bedroom for fear that they would become the relish of Sixteenth.

In fact, the kitten had no interest in those two fish. Yu Qinghuan doted on it very much. He usually not only gave it cans of various flavors but also took time to make cat food every week. One month after coming home, Sixteenth had grown double in weight.

Yu Qinghuan and Huo Qu had to work. So the two owners were not at home during the day. Worrying about Sixteenth, Yu Qinghuan installed video surveillance. During the breaks of filming, he could always take out his mobile phone to see the situation. historical

Sixteen had good characters. When it first came home, although unfamiliar with Yu Qinghuan, it did not show his claws to him.

After getting acquainted with Qinghuan, the kitten became more intimate to his owner. Every evening, once Yu Qinghuan didn’t come back early, he would crouch by the door and waited all the time.

When he saw this scene on the mobile phone, Yu Qinghuan was so moved that he awarded an extra can to the cat when he went back that day.

With the coming of a cat to the family, not only Yu Qinghuan’s responsibilities had become heavier, but also Huo Qu’s household chores had become more. Huo Qu was a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. Since Sixteenth had much longer fur than ordinary cats, the season of fur loss was a disaster, making Huo Qu mop the floor several times longer. Yu Qinghuan felt very guilty and wanted to help him share some housework, but Huo Qu refused.

“You are already very tired.” Huo Qu bowed his head and kissed him, twisting the cat fur collected from the ground into a small round ball. He revealed the dimples on his cheek, thinking secretly that Qinghuan could not mop the floor cleanly.

Yu Qinghuan was deeply moved by Huo Qu’s words. He had originally agreed with Yu Xin to receive an advertisement, but he pushed off to set aside time for Huo Qu.

With each day passing, Sixteenth had become much bigger. When it weighed more than 8 kg, Yu Qinghuan felt something was wrong. In the beginning, he actually did not think much, after all, ‘nine out of ten ginger cats were fat, and one crushed the bed’.

He only thought that maybe his inborn luck made him get the one that could crush the bed.

However, when Sixteenth was over 10 kg, Yu Qinghuan finally realized that something was wrong. Fearing that his cat would have physical problems for overweight, he rushed with it to the pet hospital. The result of this examination stated that Sixteenth was not an ordinary ginger cat, but a Maine cat, who could grow over 30kg!

Looking at the information on the inspection list and at Sixteenth rubbing his hand, Yu Qinghuan fell into a long silence.

A ginger cat that could grow to 30 kg? He thought it was time to take another advertisement.

Huo Qu had no special feeling for small animals, but he got along well with Sixteenth. It wasn’t snobbery like ordinary cats but enjoyed staying with people like dogs. Even if Huo Qu did not pay much attention to him, it could still enjoy itself beside Huo Qu. When tired of playing, it would find a comfortable position or nested on Huo Qu’s legs to sleep.

Qinghuan had to live with the film crew during filming, so the task of taking care of Sixteenth fell entirely to Huo Qu. During this period, the cat could not enjoy his father’s loving feeding, but his dad Huo Qu controlled the time much more accurately than Yu Qinghuan, and could always feed him canned food as soon as he felt hungry. One person and one cat got along very harmoniously.

But, when Yu Qinghuan was not at home, the two always felt spiritless. Huo Qu would count the calendar while Sixteenth squatted at the door for longer.

The day Yu Qinghuan came back happened to be Saturday. Huo Qu got up early, got dressed and sat on the sofa, looking at the door. Sixteenth, as if felt something, jumped down from Huo Qu legs and walked up and down by the door. When Yu QingHuan opened the door, he almost stepped on its furry little claws.

“Are you waiting for me?” Yu Qinghuan put aside the suitcase. Without changing his shoes, he stretched out his hands and put Sixteenth into his arms and rubbed his pet. When he looked up, he found Huo Qu stared at him with bitterness.

Yu Qinghuan, “...”
