281 Gift from God ? (1/2)

Beads of sweat trickled down Zhao Yao's back as he listened to Baozi's explanation. His eyes drifted towards the unconscious Gaia before mumbling, ”Just bring him out first, send him here once he wakes up … hmph … as for the next cat … hmph, Baozi since you are already here, just stay.”

Zhao Yao made eye contact with Baozi and mustered his most amiable smile before asking, ”Baozi, how do you find your life here? Are you used to it yet?”

Behind Baozi, Sausage was dragging Gaia out of the container as if he were a dead corpse. Sausage bit Gaia by the back of his neck as he struggled to drag him out. Along the way, Gaia's head even smashed against the edge of the door, leaving a giant bruise.

Zhao Yao bit his lower lip and stared earnestly into Baozi's eyes, ”Do not be nervous. Don't be afraid to say anything that comes to your mind. This is a democratic place.”

Baozi was a maroon Dragon Li. His entire body was spread across the floor, with his tail wagging from left to right. He cocked his head sideways and replied, ”Everything's great!”

”Hmph, in that case, do you have any suggestions to improve this place. For example, you guys might need more potable water or simply just more meat. You can raise any suggestions here.”

”No … I do not have any requests.” Baozi immediately shot out his response with a shook of his head. However, based on Zhao Yao's years of experience interacting with cats, he knew that Baozi was hiding something from him.

”After interacting with the two of them, none of them are willing to tell me the truth.” This got on Zhao Yao's nerves. Hence, he went forward and cradled Baozi in his arms. Zhao Yao raked his finger through Baozi's fur before whispering into his ears, ”You do not have to be afraid.”

Baozi had spent the bulk of his life roaming the streets as a stray cat. Naturally, he was rather reluctant to be cradled in Zhao Yao's arms initially. However, the soothing sensation which permeated through his body stemming from Celestial Beats and Zhao Yao's finger made him shut his eyes in pleasure. If this was heaven, he would never want to leave.

Zhao Yao continued with his questioning, ”Relax. This place is specially created as a haven for cats. Our number one priority is for cats to enjoy their time here. If you need anything, feel free to tell it to me. We will do whatever we can to satisfy your needs.”

The muscles in Baozi's face started twitching as his body gave a sudden shudder. His lips were trembling before he finally spoke, ”Do you have that … that …”

”Yes?” Zhao Yao pressed his ear against Baozi's mouth, ”What is it?”

Baozi's face was flushed with embarrassment as he whispered, ”Those kinds … kinds of films where male and female cats are engaged in a physical activity.”

Zhao Yao instantly loosened his grip the moment he managed to lure the answer out of him. Baozi fell to the ground with a loud thud. Zhao Yao ran his finger through his hair and muttered, ”Alright, alright. I will give it you tomorrow morning.”

Baozi jumped to his feet and cocked his head towards Zhao Yao with a radiant smile, ”I will be waiting for you!”

…

After hours of interrogation, Zhao Yao has finally returned to his comfortable bed as his fingers ran across the mousepad, in search of the cat film.

Throughout the hours of interrogation and questioning, Baozi was the only one who succumbed to his probing and revealed what he actually craved for. The remaining cats' mouths were sealed shut.

However, Zhao Yao's laborious search was to no avail. All he managed to find were videos of cats acting cute. None of them were cat action films.

”Who is even interested in this?” Left with no choice, Zhao Yao instantly created a thread on the forum, ”Anyone has any access to cat films? It should include love, action, and cats.”

He returned to the thread after 10 minutes only to see it removed by the moderator.

”D*mn it, why did they have to remove my thread?” With his brows tightly knitted together, Zhao Yao went on Baidu to commence his treasure hunt, ”I don't believe that there are no such films on the internet.”

Zhao Yao struck gold instantly. After just a few minutes, he had already found a trove of cat videos.

Zhao Yao eyes widened with fear as he read the title on the cover page, ”The Japanese even bothered creating films specially made for cats. They are truly one of a kind.”

Zhao Yao kept to his words and snuck a thumb drive into Baozi's paw the second day. Baozi's breathing quickened and he could hardly hold in the excitement. He immediately ran towards his computer terminal.
