Chapter 218: Chapter 215: Really Hit the Nail on the Head Chapter 218: Chapter 215: Really Hit the Nail on the Head “How come this guy is here?” Qin Tao nudged Ermao with his elbow and asked.

“How would I know! That cat always appears and disappears unpredictably,” Ermao replied, feeling quite depressed himself. “How can a cat be so troublesome? There’s a decent distance from Chuhua University to here. Could it really be possible for cats to stroll so far away? But if it’s going to take a walk, it should be at night, not during the busy daytime when there are lots of people and cars. It doesn’t make sense.”

As he was pondering the reason, Ermao’s phone rang. After checking the caller ID, his expression tensed, and he immediately answered the call.

Seeing Ermao’s reaction, Zheng Tan and Qin Tao thought something serious had happened. They didn’t make any more fuss and quietly waited for Ermao to finish the call.

“He really came?!” Ermao’s voice rose a notch when he heard the voice on the other end of the line, realizing he was too excited, he then calmed down and said, “Alright, I’ll come back right away. Thanks a lot, I’ll treat you to a drink someday.”

After hanging up, Ermao’s face darkened, “Damn it! It really was him, that cat dared to go there again!”

“Which cat?”

“That little bastard who bares its teeth at me whenever it sees me!” Ermao cursed angrily, “Heimi only had her kittens a while ago. I finally got a few days of peace, and now that thing comes back. If those two rekindle their old flame and have another litter of kittens, I’ll be worn to death!”

Hearing this, Zheng Tan knew it had to be Huasheng Tang running to the courtyard again.

Qin Tao laughed as if he had found great joy in others’ misfortunes. “Speaking of which, it’s been four months since your Heimi had her kittens. She’s totally ready for another litter. I’ve seen mother cats get pregnant again even before the previous kittens have left…”

“Shut up!” Ermao raised his foot and kicked toward Qin Tao, “You really are asking for a beating.”

Qin Tao leapt aside to dodge the kick, then provocatively curled his finger, “Come on, come on, hit me~”

Zheng Tan, Ermao: “…” Suddenly, they both felt like he was getting more and more shameless.

Ermao didn’t have time to stick around and engage in Qin Tao’s foolishness. “I need to go. You go chase after your goddess. If you manage to win her over, treat us to a round of food and fun.”

“Got it, Cat Slave Mao, you better rush home. I’ve heard it’s hard to keep a cat confined. Even if it’s on the third floor, if it wants to escape, it’ll find a way out. Methods that you can’t even imagine.”

Before Qin Tao could finish speaking, Ermao had already dashed off like the wind.

“Pssh, look at that behavior, such a cat slave,” Qin Tao remarked dismissively as he watched Ermao’s retreating figure.

Probably feeling bored and not finding anyone else to talk to, Qin Tao looked around, his gaze landing on Zheng Tan. He motioned to Zheng Tan, then took out his phone, flipped through his album, and showed him.

Qin Tao’s phone was a new model with a colorful big screen, considered high-end for its time. The screen was slightly larger than those of other phones, making the photo on it fairly clear.

Standing above and at some distance from below, Zheng Tan looked around, walked down some nearby stairs, and looked at the photo on Qin Tao’s phone.

Qin Tao squatted down and held the phone up to Zheng Tan’s face.

Not gonna lie, the girl on the phone was really quite good-looking.

“What do you think? Pretty, right? And she’s not even wearing makeup. Love at first sight, you know?” Qin Tao looked up, a look of deep affection on his face as he held his chest, “It’s her gentle gaze as she looks down, just like a delicate lotus that can hardly withstand the cool breeze.”

Now he was reciting poetry. Zheng Tan shuddered with disgust, thinking scornfully about what he’d heard of Qin Tao’s rumor of falling in love easily and cheaply.

As expected, Qin Tao’s so-called deep affection quickly turned sleazy. He drew a heart in the air with his hand, “Do you know why the heart shape looks like this?”

Zheng Tan looked at him.

“It’s shaped like a woman’s hips when she bends over,” Qin Tao said, then shook his head in pity, “Tsk, a cat like you would never understand the meaning behind this shape.”

Zheng Tan: “…”

Hit a nerve.

Zheng Tan really wanted to say, I damn well understood it deeply before! But the rotten luck of fate turned me into this! Friggin’ crap, do you even know how much I suffer?!

Like Ermao said before he left, this guy really did deserve a beating.

As they were talking, Qin Tao’s phone beeped with a new text message. After reading the content, the smile on Qin Tao’s face grew wider, “I won’t keep you, my beauty awaits ~”
Qin Tao gave the text message a little shake in front of Zheng Tan, not that he expected a cat to read, but just to satisfy his own vanity.

Zheng Tan glanced at it, the sender was “Chen Meiren”. He didn’t get a chance to read the content before Qin Tao put his phone away.

Qin Tao took out a little bottle of exquisite perfume and sprayed it on his wrist, then touched his wrist with his middle and ring fingers to get some of the scent, followed by touching behind his ears, the back of his neck, his hairline, and tousling his hair…

The guy wasn’t just shameless; he was even a show-off.

Once Qin Tao was primped and ready, eager to meet his lady, Zheng Tan sighed inwardly as he thought a good cabbage was about to be gnawed by a pig.

Reflecting a bit more on the familiar vibe he got from Qin Tao, he suddenly remembered, he used to be just like that. Only now it seemed, compared to Qin Tao, Zheng Tan hadn’t had as much to squander back then and couldn’t understand why he thought he was so awesome. Zheng Tan found it amusing to despise Qin Tao’s behavior—it felt like mocking his past self.

As he watched, Zheng Tan felt a sudden pain on his head as a tree branch fell on him and then to the ground by his feet.

Luckily, the branch wasn’t thick, and since Zheng Tan had a good resistance to getting hit, he didn’t get a concussion.

Looking up, squinting, he spied the culprit; the rascal was grinning with its tongue sticking out, panting, and even woofed twice at Zheng Tan.

Woof at your grandpa!

Dammit, now it’s learned how to sneak attack!
