Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story

Panda Novel

It was really an exercise in tolerance.

After he had typed the words ‘I will be responsible’, Fu Sichen still didn’t trust him and insisted on taking a screenshot. And as if looking at it once wasn’t enough, Fu Sichen looked at the screenshot repeatedly. Observing his behavior, Pei Zhen was sure that if it weren’t for the fact that wall notices were things of an ancient past, he would have turned the screenshot into one of those.

Pei Zhen was emotionally drained.

News continued to pop up. “What happened to Daddy?””Is there any news on Daddy?””Any gossips on Daddy?” filled up Xiao Nian’s computer screen.

Pei Zhen was terribly annoyed. “Ask again, and that’s it.”

Neither did he feel like playing online games. Devastated, he closed the Apple laptop and leaped off the chair to head out.

“Wait a minute.” Fu Sichen’s drawl came from behind. “Where are you going?”

Pei Zhen turned around and looked at him gloomily.

Of course, he was going out!

A man and a cat alone in a room in the middle of the night was too gay!

Things were better in the past when he had not known what intentions Fu Sichen harbored.

But now.

The telephone pole would really bend and snap if he didn’t try to avoid Fu Sichen.

“What about the responsibility you’d take?” Fu Sichen waved his mobile phone at Pei Zhen. ‘I will be responsible’ had been made the mobile security password. “Pei Zhen, I’m in a bad mood.”

Pei Zhen rolled his eyes.

“Hence being the guilty party, you have to atone for your deed. It’s a long night, and I need a cat for company.”

Pei Zhen didn’t know what to think.

His heart raced. In the end, wearing the pet suit that Fu Sichen sewed, the Persian cat fell asleep on the bed.

After a bath, the dashingly handsome Fu Sichen too plonked himself onto the bed.

The only light on was the little lamp at the head of the bed. It cast a warm orange glow.

“Sleeping?” Fu Sichen extended his arm to reach for a book; his beautiful eyes twinkling with laughter. “Come, shut your eyes and let me read you a story.”

Sullen silence.

It was exasperating!

Most people would want to hear a story before going to bed, but he was eager to tell a story.

It was already uncomfortable for Pei Zhen to be sharing a bed with Fu Sichen. He had spent a long time preparing himself psychologically for it, and had planned to shut his eyes and sleep till daylight!

He wasn’t a child! What freaking bedtime story?!

“This story took place in a high school campus in City Z.” Ignoring Pei Zhen’s preference, Fi Sichen spoke. His voice was deep and sultry. “The well-liked Most Popular Boy in school had fallen for the equally well-liked Most Popular Boy in class. The latter was like a ray of sunlight, and very adorable…”

Great.

It was that gay-themed script.

Pei Zhen was tempted to burst out laughing.

Even if he ultimately took a part in the script, he’d get the role of some bottom-party Most Popular Boy in class! Fu Sichen was in his late twenties. Wasn’t he embarrassed at having to play the role of a high school student?!

Pei Zhen no longer had the energy to be sarcastic.

But amazingly, even if he was unwilling to listen, Fu Sichen’s voice drew him in like a magnet, his every word making its way into his heart.

Such ambiguity.

He didn’t know when he had fallen asleep and started dreaming.

In his dream, they were in high school.

In his first term of high school, there was a sports meet that took place in October. The first item on the final day was the men’s 3000-meter run.

The long track gave off a strange smell under the burning sun, but it did nothing to drown out the students’ excitement.

The shouts of encouragement and the cheering were all for Fu Sichen!

Mr. Fu the genius would always be in the limelight no matter what he did.

In his dream, Pei Zhen stood at the finish line, the glowing Great Genius Fu nonchalantly sprinting past like he was charging towards his true love.
