Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 26

Xu Haoming leaned against the doorway. When he saw the water soaking into Ba Mei’s fur, he realised — cats on the internet were all slightly fat, but once they got wet they became very skinny. Only Ba Mei, when soaked, was still as round and chubby as always, and looked pretty cute.

Ba Mei’s arrival had been sudden, and after Lu Xu finished drying Ba Mei it was already getting close to midnight.

But no one felt that Ba Mei was annoying. They even felt quite happy.

Ba Mei sat on the table licking its own fur. The other three people were gathered around and watching the little kitty. They held their phones and took picture after picture of Ba Mei, and occasionally asked Lu Xu Ba Mei related questions, obviously wanting to know where such an adorable cat came from.

When Lu Xu came out of the bathroom and saw this scene, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The entire dormitory seemed to have become a cat-spectating room.

Ba Mei’s face was round and chubby, its two cheeks protruding out adorably. Even Lu Xu liked Ba Mei, so the other three’s reactions were normal.

Ba Mei was rather proud, treating everyone’s passionate attention as though it was deserved. It seemed that to anyone other than Lu Xu, Ba Mei had an air of being reserved and noble.

“Xu ge, how are you planning on dealing with Ba Mei?” The owner was filming a show yet their pet came to visit. This was probably the first time in history this has ever happened.

“I’ll wait until we wake up tomorrow to talk to Director Fan.” Lu Xu picked up Ba Mei and tossed the cat onto his bed, then urged the others to quickly go to sleep. “Hurry and rest. We have to film an MV tomorrow as well, don’t we?”

Song Zhe thought about it, then said, “Let’s set an alarm just in case we get up late.”

Ba Mei sprawled on the bed, its mouth spreading wide as it yawned, then laid its head on its front paws, quietly listening to them talk.

After Lu Xu climbed up into the bed, Ba Mei quickly rolled over to show its belly, its four legs facing the sky as it purred at Lu Xu.

Lu Xu rubbed its soft belly and said warmly, “You’ve worked hard today. Be good and sleep early.”

Ba Mei let out a “meow” of agreement and started to snore not long after.

Lu Xu looked at the sleeping ball beside him, and his heart couldn’t help but feel a little soft –– From the community hospital to here was a distance of a dozen miles. It was natural for Ba Mei to be tired after having walked all the way here.

“Silly child.”

Lu Xu said in his heart, then took out his phone to send a message to Xie An. “Ba Mei has already arrived, don’t worry.”

“Okay.”

Although he knew that Ba Mei was no ordinary cat, Xie An couldn’t help but worry after it ran out on its own. After replying to Lu Xu, he continued to be busy with his work. Ever since Lu Xu had gone on his mission, all the business in the area had basically become Xie An’s responsibility.

The higher-ups thought that Xie An working on his own would be too difficult, and had considered sending someone over, but Xie An had refused, saying that he could handle it on his own and that there was no need to expend other people’s energy.

After Xie An had collated all of the client’s information and sent it out, he glimpsed out of the corner of his eye that small yellow file under the table, and couldn’t help but reach over to pull it out.
