Peach-Orange! – Chapter 624 and 625 – This Kitty Can Finally Live the Good Life

Translator Note

Since chapter 625 is super short, I’ve combined it here.

“It’s so unhealthy for King to scavenge outside; we should send it to school to scavenge some trash instead.”

Fang Ning stared at Chi Xiaocheng’s face, her expression turning a bit odd.

Sitting in her seat, she rubbed her little hands together, hesitated for a long moment, and then slowly said, “Um, Sister Xiaocheng, there’s something I need to tell you.”

“Hmm?”

Could something be wrong with King?

Fang Ning’s expression became a bit more serious. “Sister Xiaocheng, I’ve been taking very good care of King, you know. It’s been very happy at the cat cafe every day, eating premium cat food. Although it occasionally runs out at night, it definitely hasn’t been reduced to scavenging for trash outside.”

Even though she also worked here, she had half a day off every three days, and she would always return to the cat cafe then.

During the times she wasn’t there, the other sisters at the cat cafe also took good care of the kittens.

Scavenging outside?

Even you, Sister Xiaocheng, can’t slander me like that!

Looking at Fang Ning’s earnest face, Chi Xiaocheng couldn’t help but laugh. “Pfft, hahahaha! I was just joking. Of course, I trust you completely with King, Ningning. It’s just that there are indeed some things that only King can do.”

Fang Ning was half-convinced. “Should I bring King over tomorrow then?”

“No problem. You can let it have a good meal before leaving the house and tell it I have a big, good thing for it.”

As for whether King could understand human speech…

A long time ago, it had already been enlightened by the system.

Its intelligence wasn’t low, and it understood human nature. It just couldn’t speak human language. If it could turn into a catgirl and wear a maid outfit to be a cat maid, that would be a sure win. Unfortunately, it couldn’t change.

Fang Ning didn’t know what Chi Xiaocheng wanted King to do, but since the other party didn’t elaborate, she wouldn’t ask more.

Always believe in Sister Xiaocheng.

Loyal to Cheng, trust Cheng, love Cheng.

Having finally caught Chi Xiaocheng, Fang Ning naturally wanted to chat with her more. After the serious business was done, she didn’t let Chi Xiaocheng leave immediately. Instead, she asked curiously, “Sister Xiaocheng, how are the things you’ve been dealing with lately? It’s not dangerous, right?”

“Of course not!” Chi Xiaocheng put her hands on her hips, very confidently beginning to tell a story.

Things like the World Will or the Young Miss weren’t suitable to tell Fang Ning. But picking out some small incidents from it to share was certainly no problem.

The two began to chat about all sorts of things. Occasionally, girls returning to the dormitory would habitually greet the building’s pet, Little Fang Ning, and then see Fang Ning chatting with Chi Xiaocheng.

Fang Ning had been working here for several months now. She was cute, had a good personality, was understanding, and always wore a smile. Anyone who greeted her would get a sweet “Sister” in response.

Plus, many people who returned late after the doors were locked could basically get in anonymously by saying some nice things and complimenting Fang Ning. The same went for dorm checks; Fang Ning would turn a blind eye after confirming safety.

You should know, with the aunties in the other dorm buildings, if you usually gave them more bottles and got familiar, it was okay. Otherwise, if you made a mistake, you’d get named. Getting named for being late or during checks was the norm.

Too many students were jealous that this dorm building had Fang Ning as the “dorm auntie.”

This originally cute and popular little one was now showing a genuinely happy smile that was rarely seen.

Starting directly with a battle roar.

Ahhhhhhh, everyone, two little lolis are just too cute! Double the smiles, double the joy, who understands this kind of healing feeling!

Besides those taking photos, many who were already in bed even got up to come downstairs for a look.

If Luo Ying hadn’t been caught yet, this might have even been used to stir things up with Su Tao.

Look, your Xiaocheng is chatting happily with another girl.

Unfortunately, even if Chi Xiaocheng wanted to catch the other party’s slip-up, the other party wouldn’t give her the chance.

Moreover, even if there was a chance, it was useless. Su Tao and Fang Ning had long since made peace. She might react defensively with others, but with this little one, she felt quite at ease.

The night passed, and the next day, Chi Xiaocheng went to class as usual.

After idling in the classroom all morning, just as class ended and she planned to get some food, she received a message from Fang Ning.

“Sister Xiaocheng, I’ve brought King back. Where are you?”

“Go to my dorm. I’ll be back soon. Tao-Tao should be home.”

Chi Xiaocheng sent the message and added a reminder, “Don’t let other students see King. Hide King first. King’s persona as a stray cat must not be ruined.”

Fang Ning: “St… stray cat?”

She got off the bus, looking at King in her arms. Its fur was lush and beautiful, its claws meticulously groomed, and it had even gained some weight from being well-fed.

This didn’t look like a stray cat at all.

But, listening to Sister Xiaocheng was the right thing to do.

Fang Ning faced the wall, her back to the street. Looking left and right, there wasn’t really a place to hide King.

So, she pulled open the collar of her T-shirt and stuffed King inside her clothes.

“King, hide in here for now. We’re going to find Sister Xiaocheng.”

“Meow?”

Little Shit Shoveler, you want this King to hide in your clothes pocket?

Seeing as you’ve fed me quite a lot of food, I’ll reluctantly reward you this once.

King crawled in, its paws resting on Fang Ning’s little bumps, with just its cat head sticking out from the collar for air.

Fang Ning had no choice but to cover the cat’s head with her hand and quickly walk to the address Chi Xiaocheng had given.

She made several turns along the way. Having never been to the school district housing area, she even got lost for a bit. When she finally found the place, she discovered Chi Xiaocheng was already home.

Knock, open.

“Sister Xiaocheng, I brought King!”

“Meow meow meow!”

As soon as King was put down, it excitedly ran towards Chi Xiaocheng.

Finally, finally seeing the real Shit Shoveler.

You abandoned this King at the cat cafe and went off to enjoy yourself alone. Do you know how I’ve spent these days!

It missed the system-produced cat food so much.

The system-produced ones were simply celestial grade.

While ordinary cat food, as mortal grade, was still edible, it wasn’t tasty.

Meeting King’s pitiful, pleading gaze, Chi Xiaocheng couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. “King, you really have suffered. Don’t worry, starting today, I’ll give you a task. Once you complete it, I guarantee you’ll eat well and live lavishly!”

“Meow!”

Watching this profound human-cat bond from the side, Fang Ning couldn’t help but weakly comment, “Um, King has been acting like a king at the cat cafe, with a bunch of followers. It hasn’t suffered.”

“Meow?”

King turned its head, a death glare in its eyes.

What do you humans know? The suffering of this kitty is something you humans can understand!

Su Tao, standing to the side, shook her head helplessly. “Fang Ning, don’t mind these two. How have you been lately? What would you like to drink?”

“I… I’ll have some juice, thank you, Sister Tao-Tao.”

Seeing Chi Xiaocheng and King chatting happily, Fang Ning stopped paying attention to this pair. She sat on the sofa, looking around at the layout of the place.

But after looking around, her gaze still returned to Chi Xiaocheng and King.

King looked very happy, seemingly thinking it had come here to live the good life.

But…

Scavenging. Stray cat.

Fang Ning couldn’t help but mourn silently for King. It seemed in the plan, King wasn’t here to live the good life?

Chapter 625: I May Be a Cat, But You Are Definitely a Dog!

“King, see that woman with glasses and ink-black hair?”

“Meow!”

I see her.

“Good. Your mission now is to keep a close eye on her. If she shows any signs of being suspicious, I authorize you to scratch her to death on the spot.”

“Meow?”

You want me to scratch a grown woman to death?

Also, wasn’t I supposed to be here to enjoy life? Why am I getting a mission right away?

Chi Xiaocheng and King were secretly hiding in a small restaurant, peering through the window at Luo Ying, who was working part-time at a cafe across the street.

However, the one human and one cat were now staring at each other instead. The larger loli’s eyes were filled with trust, but the smaller cat’s big eyes were full of confusion.

Regarding this, Chi Xiaocheng whispered, as if bewitching King, “King, the reason I wanted you back by my side is, of course, because I missed you. It’s also true that I called you here to enjoy life. It’s just that my surroundings aren’t safe right now, there are still enemies unresolved. We need to work together, endure hardship first before enjoying the sweetness later.”

“Meow meow.”

This feline thinks you’re tricking me, but I have no evidence.

Chi Xiaocheng coughed lightly and continued to enlighten King. “King, I know you’re very smart. But think about it, let’s say we just bought a bunch of cat food cans, cat sticks, cat teasers and things for you to play with, and they’re all in the school dormitory. But before long, this woman is going to cause trouble.

“By that time, all your nice things will be snatched away. If any accidents happen, maybe both Tao-Tao and I will get hurt. Then you’ll lose your owner and have to go back to your previous stray life!”

King: “!”

Now it understood.

Rеaⅾ οո КаtRеαԁiոgCafе

This is indeed a bad woman!

It meowed twice, signaling Chi Xiaocheng to explain what it needed to do.

Chi Xiaocheng placed her small hand on King’s head. The human and cat fixed a rather frightening gaze on the girl who was working.

“Poor little Luo Ying. Blame it on being part of the Young Lady’s faction. Prepare to face King’s wrath!”

King: “Meow?”

Ignoring King’s confused look as it turned its head, Chi Xiaocheng assigned the task. “King, your next mission is very simple. You need to pretend to be a stray cat on campus, roaming around everywhere inside the school. That way, even if you ‘coincidentally’ appear near Luo Ying and surveil her, you won’t be suspected.”

Who would think a cat’s IQ could be that high?

Chi Xiaocheng also casually took out a small bell. “This little bell is an ultra-micro camera. Hang it on your neck. Your cat persona is a little kitty abandoned by some owner. Remember to charge it every three days.”

Upon hearing this, King fell into deep thought.

Its brain was struggling to process: why did it still have to live as a stray?

Comparing straying now to straying after an accident, theoretically it is indeed much better. Endure hardship first, enjoy sweetness later.

But why… does it still feel something isn’t quite right?

King is somewhat intelligent, but not highly so; otherwise, it wouldn’t be easily fooled by Chi Xiaocheng.

However, it meowed a few more times.

Sensing the inquiry in its meows, Chi Xiaocheng replied, “You’re asking about food? Of course, you have to solve that yourself. Whether it’s waiting for students to feed you, rummaging through campus trash bins, or maybe finding leftovers near the cafeteria… if you’re a stray cat, wouldn’t being clean and tidy make people suspicious?”

King: “???”

I’m risking my life for you, and you tell me to scavenge trash, eat leftovers?!

Are you really human?

You’re a dog, aren’t you?!

Chi Xiaocheng coughed awkwardly. “It’s just the circumstances forcing us. How about this: you usually get yourself a bit dirty, rummage through trash bins more to maintain your persona… oh no, your cat persona. Then when it’s really time for dinner, or time to sleep at night, you can just come back. I’ll get you premium cat food cans.”

After much persuasion, Chi Xiaocheng finally managed to convince King.

For the sake of her and Tao-Tao’s future, King would just have to endure a bit of hardship.
