Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story

Panda Novel

The Cat Show-off Demon Fu Sichen had ceased to show-off his cat on Weibo in recent days.

Having not seen the Persian cat, the netizens missed it and were frantically reminding Fu Sichen to post more pictures, and not to forget about his fans because he had Pei Zhen.

There was only one thing that Fu Sichen was interested in.

And that wasn’t showing-off the cat!

Showing-off Pei Zhen… perhaps that could be considered.

“The sleeping beauty Pei Zhen.”

“Lazybones Pei Zhen.”

“Pei Zhen eating seafood.”

Only, showing-off his young boyfriend was really out of the question. The female fans were hungry for some eye candy, but Fu Sichen’s pictures were either under-exposed or over-exposed to the point that nothing could be seen!

The netizens wailed painfully and asked, “Clarify it! Do you actually love Daddy Pei, or are you out to slime him!”

Fu Sichen couldn’t care less and continued to do as he pleased. The Weibo that he had never cared about in the first place had become a place to showcase all things lovey-dovey.

The posts weren’t any sensational news. They were just little moments about Pei Zhen—even a smile kept him enchanted for a long time.

A long, long time indeed…

Although the filmed episodes of The War of the Pets wouldn’t be released immediately, snippets of funny scenes were transmitted beforehand.

The film production crew knew whom the audience would be most interested in; hence, the first snippets released were of Fu Sichen and his Persian cat. Shots of the man and cat looking at each other, or the cat scratching someone, or the cold attitude of Fu Sichen towards the Persian cat.

They were hilarious.

Thinking back to the last episode of the show, and comparing the interaction between man and cat—they even came up with funny poems, sympathizing the neglected cat.

Although the man and his cat didn’t quite get along, the filming was quite successful. When the man and cat could no longer go on, Fu Sichen only needed to take a look at Pei Zhen’s photograph and breathe deeply, and then he’d be revitalized immediately.

Wang Youquan, who was following Fu Sichen, was thoroughly embarrassed by Fu Sichen’s behavior. Every time Fu Sichen stared at Pei Zhen’s photograph in that love-sick manner, it sent shivers up his spine.

“We’d like to find out if Pei Zhen is filming a public welfare advertisement?” There was a focus on the theme of animal protection in the latest show, and they had approached Fu Sichen and Wang Youquan. They were quite upfront about their intention. “We would like to broadcast the show after the public welfare advertisement, would you be agreeable?”

It was obvious that they were trying to ride on National Television to capture higher viewership, but the theme was similar, so there was no real conflict.

Fu Sichen didn’t object and even came up with a plan to increase reach.

The show’s crew was pleasantly surprised and felt eternally grateful to Fu Sichen. “Best… Best Actor Fu… if there’s anything at all we can do for you, please just let us know.”

Fu Sichen smiled and replied, “I wish to complete filming earlier.”

The crew was stumped.

Wang Youquan didn’t know what to say.

Subsequently, the filming was shortened and completed in five days instead of the initially planned seven days. The day that they left the filming location, Fu Sichen and the Persian cat were like school children starting their holidays. They couldn’t wait to get back to Dong Hai City.

Pei Zhen too completed filming of the public service announcement. The moment the Director shouted ‘cut’, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They bantered for a while, and the Director even wanted to throw a wrap-up banquet.

Xiao Nian’s mobile phone rang, and Pei Zhen headed to the changing room.

The lighting along the corridor to the resting room was dim. Pei Zhen’s conscience had always been clear, and he tried not thinking much about anything spooky.

Until…

A tall and almost flirtatious youth was standing at the entrance of the resting room. When he saw Pei Zhen, he gave him a coquettish glance. “Daddy Pei, you’re here.”

Pei Zhen looked at him quizzically.

“Daddy Pei, although I can’t compare myself to Best Actor Fu, I’m very well-behaved.”

But in reality, Pei Zhen thought, I’m just a bottom party!
