Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story
chapter-14

Fu Sichen was still completely unaware of Pei Zhen’s situation. This allowed Pei Zhen some room to breathe.

But, his immediate priority was taking a good look at his body that was now lying in a hospital ward. So, he wasn’t in any mood to focus on the whole “standing up to pee” debacle.

Xiao Nian was still at the hospital.

He felt extremely guilty seeing Pei Zhen’s unmoving body lying on the hospital bed.

From far away, Pei Zhen could hear crying and wailing coming from his room. It sounded rather depressing.

At the very least, he had a conscience. Pei Zhen couldn’t help but feel comforted that he was being missed. He decided that once he recovered, he’d give Xiao Nian a raise. To tell the truth, it really hadn’t been easy on him being his manager all these years.

They turned the corner before seeing that the door to his ward was wide open. The latest popular soap opera was playing on the television that was mounted on the wall. With his back facing the entrance, the Great Manager Xiao was crying his eyes out along with the leading actress on the show.

“Why?! Is it because I’m not pretty enough, or is it because I don’t love you enough?! Why did you cheat on me?!”

Xiao Nian wailed even louder now. “Bastard! To think that my little Ruru was so loyal to you!”

Pei Zhen was aghast.

Jumping down from Fu Sichen’s shoulder, the furious Pei Zhen dashed straight at Xiao Nian, and swiftly gave him a taste of his claws.

This was really too much! This called for a pay cut!

“The doctor said he’d be fine.” Now, the wounded Xiao Nian covered his face in remorse, “It’s just a coma.”

Fu Sichen sat on the chair with Pei Zhen on his shoulder. Both human and cat had the same cold stare trained on Xiao Nian.

“It’s my fault. I know it’s my fault.” Unable to handle the weight of his gaze, Xiao Nian broke down. “Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen is in a coma, and here am I watching TV. I… I’m a great sinner! A person like me doesn’t deserve to live or breathe!”

Fu Sichen glanced up at the television. The female lead looked familiar. It was Lin Yousu. Fu Sichen snorted. He couldn’t understand how anyone could enjoy shows like this.

Xiao Nian covered his face with his hands. He was embarrassed. “In person, Lin Yousu looks very pretty up close.”

Fu Sichen was at a loss for words.

So was Pei Zhen.

Fu Sichen could no longer be bothered with this crazy Manager Xiao Nian. He removed the cat from his shoulder and walked over to take a look at Pei Zhen, who was lying on the bed.

Pei Zhen looked extremely dashing.

He had a pair of mesmerizing eyes. His long eyelashes cast a bluish tinge on his porcelain white skin. His thin lips were closed and formed a perfect curve. It looked as if they were asking to be kissed.

Fu Sichen reached out to lightly feel Pei Zhen’s forehead. The temperature was normal, and his bodily functions seemed to be normal too. One could easily believe that he was just playing a joke on them

“Leave him to me now.” Fu Sichen propped Pei Zhen up with a pillow and opened up the thermos. The aroma of the bone broth drifted out. “Mr. Xiao, I assume that you haven’t eaten yet.”

“Yes.” Xiao Nian was not in the mood to eat, despite coming across rather heartless just now. However, he still had work that needed to be done. “I need to report back to the office. Best Actor Fu, I’ll leave Pei Zhen to you.”

Pei Zhen the cat glanced at Fu Sichen, and then looked at Xiao Nian. Then, he ran out after Xiao Nian.

There were reporters everywhere, flocking towards the hospital and obstructing the main entrance. They were waiting eagerly for any kind of information. Xiao Nian had no choice but to leave from the exit at the back of the building.

The assistant was waiting for him with the engine running. But, before Xiao Nian could get into the car, he heard a meow come from behind him.

“Meow.”
