Chapter 84: Early In The Morning, Must My Humanity Be Tested Like This?

The Miaoxianbao, sold at the supermarket downstairs, is delivered quickly and is a hot-selling flavor combination of chicken and tuna.

Ruan Jinghong had previously bought this brand to feed the stray cats downstairs and noticed that the little ones enjoyed it. Now, her own stomach was rumbling.

She tore open the packaging bag and poured the soup and meat into a bowl. The deep brown meat granules didn't look as vibrant and colorful as human food.

The porcelain bowl that held the meat was chilly. She initially thought about heating it in the microwave, but then she remembered that cats are generally afraid of getting burned and prefer cold food. So, she simply grabbed a spoon and started eating it directly.

She took only one bite, and her beautiful eyebrows instantly furrowed.

The seasoning tasted strange, with a hint of food enhancer, and the meat wasn't fully cooked, with a slightly fishy smell.

Ruan Jinghong examined the packaging bag, and it had the genuine trademark on it. So, there shouldn't be any issues with this bag of cat food.

Clearly, the stray cats downstairs seemed to enjoy it happily before. There must be something wrong with the way I eat.

Should I eat it with a "purr-purr" sound?

Ruan Jinghong tried her best to imagine herself as a cat, envisioning the food before her as a rare delicacy. While making "purr-purr" sounds from her stomach, she used the spoon to scoop the meat and soup into her mouth.

A bag of Miaoxianbao was not a large portion, and soon the entire bowl ended up in her stomach.

Despite feeling hungry, Ruan Jinghong's mouth no longer desired to eat anything.

She looked at the overlapping shadows before her, feeling dizzy in her mind, and thought: It's really hard to be a cat.

Although the bag of Miaoxianbao made her feel extremely uncomfortable, she didn't forget her original intention.

She fumbled and picked up the script from the table, struggling to discern the lines of the cat servant from the blurry printed text.

[Ling Yunxin rescued a little cat spirit who had just entered the world, and the little cat spirit believed that Ling Yunxin was her master and tried her best. At that time, the young cat spirit was not yet fully civilized. Its instincts were more dominant than its human nature, but it managed to make Ling Yunxin, who didn't like interacting with people, accept her as her little tail*.]

[Scene Three: Opening the belly and actively seeking petting]

Wen Jin's departure abroad this time should have left behind a lot of work. Fortunately, under her long-term influence, Wen Qing had also grown a lot.

This time, when she returned to the company, only a few important matters remained for her personal review.

Now that she had handled the major affairs of the company, she also needed to start planning for her own matters.

At this moment, Wen Qing walked up to Wen Jin's desk, holding a stack of documents.

"Sister, here are the IP materials that you asked me to organize yesterday. However, our company's top-tier artists have full schedules now. Are you sure you want to initiate these major IPs at the moment?"

Wen Jin took the documents from Wen Qing's hand and calmly replied, "I didn't say we have to launch all of them right now. I want to choose one that is interesting and personally star in it."

Wen Qing stared at her cousin with a look of disbelief.

"Seriously, sister? These IPs are all highly anticipated long stories, initially planned for TV dramas. Each one would take at least half a year to produce. Do you really have time to shoot a TV drama now?"

Wen Jin modestly smiled and said, "Don't forget, I am an actress. TV dramas and films are both forms of artistic presentation. It's been quite a few years since I last filmed a TV drama. I wonder if I've become rusty."

Wen Qing thought to herself: Am I hearing this correctly? Someone who won the Best Actress award in her third year in the industry is worried about getting rusty in TV dramas? Is the main focus here about being rusty or not?

She looked at her cousin, who had a serious expression on her face, and had to remind her cautiously, "Then... what about the company during the six months you'll be filming the TV drama?"

"The company still has you, right?"

Thinking that she could finally end her work life that is like a spinning top, Wen Qing's vision suddenly went black.

Wen Jin went through each IP one by one and had a general idea in her mind.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, she sent a goodnight message to the little one she cherished in her heart, but received no reply.

At this hour, she probably had already fallen asleep.

Wen Jin comforted herself in her heart and had Xiao Yuan drive her back to the villa to rest.

Because of her highly productive work throughout the day, she had accumulated half a day off for herself tomorrow.

The next morning, the first thing Wen Jin did upon waking up was to pick up her phone and check her WeChat messages.

Still no reply.

It's now 6:30 in the morning, perhaps that lazy little cat hadn't woken up yet.

After washing up and having breakfast, Wen Jin glanced at her phone and only half an hour had passed.

Luckily, there was no one else in the room at this time. Otherwise, if her previous employees who couldn't stay away from their phones despite her criticisms saw it, who knows what they would think.

Wen Jin changed her coat and swiftly walked to the garage.

Without waiting for a reply, anyway, she had the morning off today.

She arrived at Ruan Jinghong's doorstep and knocked for a long time, but there was no response. She tried calling, but no one answered. At this point, she began to feel that something was amiss.

It had been over 12 hours since Ruan Jinghong last replied to her message yesterday afternoon.

Although it was illegal to do so, it was an extraordinary time, and she could only explain later.

Wen Jin took out a bank card from her wallet, broke it into pieces, and inserted it into the door lock, fiddling with it for a while until the door opened.

Sometimes, she should really be grateful for her identity as an actress. After playing so many different roles in life, she had become versatile.

As it was her third visit, Wen Jin was familiar with the house and didn't need the homeowner's guidance. She began to explore each room on her own.

The layout of this single apartment is not large, and she quickly found the bedroom, where she saw the little thing lying askew on the bed.

Wen Jin hurriedly approached and supported the person, gently patting her soft and warm face with her hand.

"Ruanruan, wake up."

Ruan Jinghong, who had been rehearsing alone all night, had just fallen asleep when she felt someone touching her face.

With some effort, she opened her eyes and saw a person dressed in pure white attire, with a face as beautiful as cold jade, showing deep care for her between her brows.

Isn't this Ling Yunxin, the master from the script, coming out?

She rubbed her furry head against Wen Jin's palm and extended her tongue to slide across Wen Jin's exposed half-smooth wrist, her face displaying an adorable and coquettish smile.

"Meow~"

Wen Jin: ?!

The itchiness on her wrist almost made her unable to hold onto the bed, and she almost fell off.

Seeing that the "master" next to her didn't react, Ruan Jinghong changed from rubbing to hugging Wen Jin's arm, emitting a "purring" sound.

Wen Jin looked at the little thing on the bed, who seemed a bit drowsy, with a face full of speechlessness.

To Ruan Jinghong, this expression appeared as cold rejection. Initially, Ling Yunxin adamantly refused to take in a spiritual pet, no matter how much the cat servant acted cute and coquettish, she always wore a cold expression.

However, it didn't matter. She still had a trick up her sleeve.

She lay on the bed and rolled over, exposing her soft cat belly. Opening up the most tender part of herself to humans was a sign of no defense.

The human beside her remained indifferent, so she took the initiative to hold the human's hand and placed it on her soft little belly.

Wen Jin: ...

Early in the morning, must my humanity be tested like this?

In the end, Wen Jin, who possessed a fair amount of "humanity," didn't harm the little kitten.

She held down the restless little paws of the cat on the bed with one hand and dialed the private doctor's number on her phone with the other.

20 minutes later, a middle-aged female doctor wearing a white coat and carrying a medical kit appeared in Ruan Jinghong's bedroom.

Ruan Jinghong saw another woman dressed in white and wondered if it was Ling Yunxin's wicked senior sister.

This senior sister appeared outwardly pure and kind, but she was jealous of Ling Yunxin and had no way to deal with her junior sister, so she secretly troubled her spiritual pet.

As a cat with a sense of danger, Ruan Jinghong immediately hid behind her master, baring her teeth with a threatening "hiss" sound.

The female doctor who was about to examine the patient said:

"What's wrong with her? Has she suffered some kind of mental shock?"

Wen Jin held her little kitten and gently stroked its fur, showing a worried expression.

"I have no idea what's going on with her, that's why I asked you to come and take a look."

The female doctor took out her tools from the medical kit while giving some advice:

"Well, you better hold her firmly. I don't want to get bitten and end up getting a rabies vaccine."

Although the doctor had a sharp tongue, she was professional, and it didn't take long for her to make a diagnosis.

"It's a hallucinogenic reaction caused by food poisoning."

Food poisoning?

Wen Jin remembered that for the past few days, for almost every meal, Ruan Jinghong took pictures of her food, except for last night and this morning.

She hugged Ruan Jinghong's shoulder and asked in a gentle voice:

"Ruanruan, from last night till now, what have you eaten?"

Ruan Jinghong: "Meow~"

Wen Jin was anxious: "Stop 'meowing,' speak human language!"

However, Ruan Jinghong was having a hard time explaining. Her internal cat core was damaged, and without the help of her master's energy, she couldn't speak human language. That's why she was so eager to make her master recognize her.

The poor little cat looked very aggrieved, and tears flowed like pearls.

Wen Jin felt guilty for making Ruan Jinghong cry, so she hurriedly hugged and comforted her.

She had never been so embarrassed before.

The female doctor on the side couldn't help but tremble with laughter at the comical scene.

She is a professional, but sometimes it is hard to resist.

After a lot of effort, Wen Jin finally managed to comfort the little cat and explain her intentions. Ruan Jinghong curled her fingers like claws and pointed towards the trash bin next to the computer desk, saying, "Meow~"

Wen Jin couldn't easily leave with the clingy little cat, so the female doctor understood and brought the trash bin over. Both of them immediately noticed a Miaoxianbao packaging bag placed on top of the trash.

The female doctor picked up the bag and chuckled, "Cat food."

She turned the packaging bag over and looked at the production date, saying, "Expired cat food."

They had found the root cause of the illness, which made things much easier from that point on.

Using the instruments she brought, the female doctor washed Ruan Jinghong's stomach and left two bottles of medicine. She instructed them on the timing and method of taking the medication before leaving.

Wen Jin fed Ruan Jinghong two pills as instructed by the doctor, and looked at the little kitten lying in her arm, sleeping blissfully. She doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Is this how you turn yourself into a cat?"

Ruan Jinghong woke up amidst the fragrance of millet porridge and felt as though she had just had a long dream.

In her dream, she successfully secured the role of a cat servant through the audition, and during the subsequent filming, she seemed to merge with the character, genuinely experiencing the joys and sorrows of being a cat servant.

Then there was her master, Ling Yunxin, who truly lived up to the description in the script: stunningly beautiful, cold on the outside but warm within.

No wonder the cat servant adored her master so much, to the point that upon waking up and finding her master gone, Ruan Jinghong felt a sense of loss.

Through this dream, Ruan Jinghong felt like she had truly grasped a glimpse of what it feels like to be a cat.

Eagerly getting up, she intended to retrieve the script and take a closer look. However, she found herself weak and feeble, only managing a simple attempt to prop herself up before falling back onto the bed.

Her stomach made a timely "gurgling" sound, as if protesting against its neglect by its owner.

Indeed, from yesterday's lunch until now, nearly twenty hours had passed, and she had only eaten a single bag of Miaoxianbao.

She had indeed eaten very little. If only she had bought a couple more bags.

But the taste...

The fragrance of millet porridge grew stronger, and Ruan Jinghong couldn't resist the protests of hunger in her stomach. She abandoned the thought of ordering more Miaoxianbao and instinctively followed the scent, step by step, toward its source.

The distance from the bedroom to the kitchen was just a dozen or so steps. However, Ruan Jinghong felt weak and walked slowly.

During this sufficiently long walk, she had time to ponder over some things.

Wait, there are only two keys to my house—one in my bag and the other hanging at the entrance.

So if I didn't open the door, how did someone else get in?

Could it be that my house has been broken into?

As Ruan Jinghong got up, she felt dizzy and her body felt weak. Could someone have drugged her?

The more Ruan Jinghong thought about it, the more she felt this possibility. She became cautious and decided to retrace her steps, returning to her room to search for something she could use to defend herself.
