Chapter 239: The Male Lead Raises a Cat (56)

Jiang Yiran walked over and reached out to touch the girl’s ears. As she stared back at him with round eyes, he casually withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, his expression incredibly calm.

With the sensation of the furry touch still lingering on his hand and the image of the girl involuntarily shrinking when her ears were touched floating in his mind, Jiang Yiran’s lips curled slightly, a hint of darkness passing through his eyes.

However, Shen Mubai thought that the cat owner was curious about her current appearance. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she covered her ears and stared with her round cat-like eyes, saying, “I don’t know why I suddenly turned into this.”

Seeing the girl nervously explain, Jiang Yiran couldn’t help but feel a bit playful. With a casual tone, he said, “Hmm, where’s your cat tail?”

Shen Mubai’s face turned as red as a crayfish upon hearing this, without suspecting the intentions of her cat owner. She stuttered, “I don’t know.”

Jiang Yiran decided to drop the subject, simply ruffling her hair and saying, “It’s okay.”

Shen Mubai looked up in confusion, “?”

Jiang Yiran looked into her eyes and said, “I like you no matter what you look like.”

Shen Mubai looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant.

The girl’s confused and somewhat puzzled appearance made Jiang Yiran feel a hint of helplessness. He released the hand covering her head, turned around, and said, “I’m going to take a shower.”

During Jiang Yiran’s shower, Shen Mubai stared at the cat ears in the mirror, wishing she could remove them all.

She felt a bit disheartened.

She had originally thought it was just the cat ears that would show, but in the evening, while bathing in the bathroom, a cat tail appeared as well.

Shen Mubai was shocked and dismayed to see the extra cat tail, almost dropping the soap in her hand.

The clothes she had prepared couldn’t be worn anymore. She could only suppress her intense embarrassment, open the door slightly, and… wait, what should she call the male lead?

“Cat owner”?

“Master”?

Shaking off the frightening thoughts, Shen Mubai closed her eyes and called out, “Jiang Yiran.”

No response.

Shen Mubai, with teary eyes, called out again.

Still no response.

Just as she was about to call out again, footsteps approached, followed by Jiang Yiran’s distinctively cold voice: “What’s wrong?”

Thinking about the extra tail, Shen Mubai was on the verge of tears. She whimpered, “I can’t wear my clothes.”

The footsteps, which had stopped, started again. Jiang Yiran walked in, seeing the girl’s head poking out from the bathroom door with two furry ears on top, her chubby cheeks flushed with a hint of red due to the steam, and her watery eyes filled with a pitiful look. His throat couldn’t help but feel a little hoarse as he said, “Your clothes got wet?”

Shen Mubai shook her head, too embarrassed to look at him, and muttered, “The cat tail… is showing too.”

Although Jiang Yiran’s eyes darkened gradually, his voice remained as calm as usual. “I’ll get you a bathrobe.”

The bathrobe belonged to Jiang Yiran, and although it was a bit big, it solved Shen Mubai’s embarrassment. She walked out of the bathroom, almost unable to face her cat owner directly.

Thinking about cat ears and tails made her feel incredibly embarrassed, as if she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
