A pretty live streamer beckons, and a lewd male protagonist hooks her up.

"Ruan Ruan, are you hungry?"

Liu Ruoan came out of the storage room carrying a bag of unopened cat food and saw Wen Ruan standing in front of the dessert cabinet, peeking inside.

"No." Wen Ruan shook her head, then bent down and carefully took the cake out and put it on a plate, explaining, "A customer just came into the store and wanted a cream cake, so I got it for him."

She's not that greedy.

Although I did eat quite a few desserts at the store these past two days, trying almost every single one...

Wen Ruan licked her lips, her mouth watering at the memory of the cake's taste.

Glancing at what Liu Ruoan was holding, Wen Ruan said sensibly, "Sister Ruoan, are you feeding the cats? Leave it there, I'll get it in a bit!"

"No need, I'm just killing time anyway."

She was still busy even though the store had just opened in the morning and there weren't many customers. As she spoke, she opened the grain bag to prepare to put the grain in.

"Okay."

Wen Ruan responded and picked up a fork to carry the cake over.

Jiang Yanci sat alone by the window.

He didn't speak or look around, seemingly uninterested in anything in the shop, simply sitting there.

Strangely, all the cats in the store kept a "safe distance" of several meters from him.

"Meow meow—"

—Stay away from him, he smells nasty!

Wen Ruan paused, glanced at the orange cat whose ears had turned into airplane ears, and silently cheered herself up.

She was a cat too, and like the other cats in the shop, she had a strange feeling of being targeted by a cold-blooded animal when the man came in.

Wen Ruan placed the cake steadily on the table and smiled, "Here's the cake you ordered."

Jiang Yanci's gaze swept across Wen Ruan's face, and he said indifferently, "Have you been working here all this time?"

Wen Ruan paused for a moment, then honestly replied, "No, I just started here recently; it's a part-time job."

She regretted it as soon as she said it.

Ruoan and Song Yu had both told her not to talk to strangers outside, but Wen Ruan acted impulsively and answered whatever people asked.

Realizing the man was about to speak again, Wen Ruan quickly covered her mouth, "I still have to clean!"

The implication was that she shouldn't ask anymore, as she was far from free!

Jiang Yanci nodded slightly in understanding, her tone gentle, "Yes, you're busy, I won't bother you."

Their tone was so familiar, as if they were old friends.

"good......"

Jiang Yanci saw Wen Ruan run off impatiently, and a very slight smile appeared on his lips.

He picked up his fork and scooped out a small piece of cake.

The sweet, creamy flavor spreads across the tip of the tongue.

Jiang Yanci frowned slightly, gazing intently at the tightly closed door.

He guessed that Wen Ruan probably wouldn't come out anytime soon.

He habitually lowered his eyes and let his mind wander, repeatedly recalling the situation they had just spent together, unable to understand why Wen Ruan was so afraid of him.

It's even more timid than the cats in the shop.

Jiang Yanci wiped his mouth clean, took out a brand new pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on casually, and got up to leave.

Liu Ruoan: "Thank you for coming, and welcome back next time!"

Wen Ruan was tidying up things in the warehouse, and only came out after making sure the man had left.

While clearing away the dishes, Wen Ruan noticed that the cake had only been slightly touched.

Wen Ruan couldn't understand why someone would come to a cat cafe if they didn't pet the cats, drink anything, or eat much.

They couldn't possibly have come here specifically for her, could they?

Wen Ruan quickly shook her head to dismiss the strange thought.

Although she is pretty, she doesn't have such a big face that a stranger would go to a cat cafe just to see her.

Seeing Wen Ruan's worried expression, Liu Ruoan asked, puzzled, "Ruan Ruan, what's wrong?"

"have no idea."

Wen Ruan couldn't quite describe the feeling. "Sister Ruo'an, I'll be done with work this afternoon, so I won't be coming tomorrow."

Only after she reminded him did Liu Ruoan realize that a week had already passed since Wen Ruan arrived.

Logically speaking, Wen Ruan should have quit her job yesterday and gone home to focus on preparing for tonight's live broadcast.

But she couldn't bear to leave her colleagues at the shop, so she stayed and worked an extra half day.

Liu Ruoan pleaded, "Ruan Ruan, are you really not considering staying as a long-term employee?"

"My boss is a really good guy. He never delays paying wages, and he's handsome with a six-pack, smart, and morally upright—he never flirts with other women!"

Liu Ruoan racked her brains and could only think of this one advantage of Song Yu.

Wen Ruan turned her head and firmly refused: "I'll come to see you and the cat when I have time, but as for being a long-term employee... no thanks."

After all, she has her own job.

Moreover, live streaming is a job requirement, so even if Wen Ruan wanted to change jobs, she couldn't, otherwise how could the plot continue?

"All right......"

Liu Ruoan hugged Wen Ruan with a wronged expression: "After you leave, remember me. Come visit me and these bastards more often when you have time."

"it is good."

"Then you promise."

Wen Ruan raised her right hand to her ear, revealing two canine teeth, and smiled, "I promise!"

"I'll definitely come visit you often!"

Wen Ruan's phone suddenly rang.

[Mysterious person: Are you live streaming tonight?]

[Hey, I've prepared a surprise for everyone tonight! (heart emoji)]

[Mysterious figure: Yes, I'll be waiting for you.]

Wen Ruan put away her phone, her heart pounding. She suddenly felt a strong urge to watch the live stream tonight and was eager to try it out.

Over the past week, she had almost forgotten the procedures.

Moreover, tonight is Wen Ruan's first live stream since joining the guild. The guild said they want to see her overall performance tonight and arrange subsequent promotion for her.

Wen Ruan cheered herself up, went to the toilet, and washed her face with cold water.

I worked harder and more diligently than ever before this afternoon!

Before leaving, the cat surrounded Wen Ruan, rubbing its head against her affectionately.

The cat didn't understand what leaving meant; it only knew that Wen Ruan wouldn't be coming tomorrow or the day after, and it was reluctant to let her go, so it wanted to use this method to make Wen Ruan stay.

Only Song Xiaoniu sat proudly on the cat tree, its tail swaying back and forth.

"Meow!"

—Go away, Mimi won't miss you.

—I won't miss you today, tomorrow, or the day after!

Wen Ruan sighed softly, hugged it tightly, and said in a "forced love" tone, "No, you have to miss me, or I won't give you any dried fish next time I come."

"You all need to be good and listen to Sister Ruo'an, okay?"

"Meow!"

Liu Ruoan sat to the side, already used to this scene.

Although it's unclear whether Wenruan can truly understand cat language, their interaction is quite amusing.

"Sister Ruo'an, I'm leaving now!"

Liu Ruoan said reluctantly, "See you next time."

"Um!"

Wen Ruan took off her apron, slung her small schoolbag over her shoulder, and walked along the cement road, which was dyed orange by the sunlight, looking back every few steps.

"Bye-Bye!"

She waved to Liu Ruoan and plunged into the crowded throng...
