Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story
chapter-17

Pei Zhen had not forgotten the screensaver on Fu Sichen’s computer.

Besides his extremely high “face value”, Pei Zhen couldn’t think of any other reason why Fu Sichen seemed to admire him so much.

Being sought after was a great thing for any celebrity.

It was just that, when it came to Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen still felt awkward about it all.

“He… he’s just concerned about you.” Xiao Nian paused and continued, “Weren’t you and Fu Sichen childhood friends? So even if you guys had been competing for so long, I’m sure that he still remembers your friendship.”

Pei Zhen didn’t reply.

After thinking about it, he decided not to say anything about the screensaver. In any case, his charm wasn’t something that Xiao Nian would understand. After all, Xiao Nian was just a commoner.

Beyond the problem of his accommodation, now that he was in a rotund cat body, Pei Zhen had another concern. [Do you know what the company is going to do, given my situation?]

There were work assignments and jobs that he had taken up as a spokesperson prior to turning into a cat; all these were now on hold.

“I fought for days, trying to placate the investors, but…” Xiao Nian said regretfully.

If Pei Zhen didn’t wake up from his coma, they would definitely lose these investors.

Pei Zhen was an arrogant person who always wanted things to go his own way. This was exactly what his fans loved about him. He was popular, he was famous, and the company naturally gave him a lot of leeway.

Under normal circumstances, other celebrities were all jealous of Pei Zhen.

But now that Pei Zhen was in a coma, they would undoubtedly try and steal a piece of the pie.

“Pei Zhen, don’t worry.” Not wanting Pei Zhen to be sad or lose hope, Xiao Nian quickly reassured him, “I’m here to make sure that your career as a celebrity is secure.”

Pei Zhen opened his mouth to explain something, but alas, all that came out was still a meow. This was so frustrating. He was about to type on the mobile phone when a commotion was heard outside.

“Best Actor Fu?! Oh my god! It’s really him!”

“Ohhhhhhhh, Fu Sichen is so handsome!”

“Best Actor Fu, can I please have your autograph? Can we also take a picture together?”

Fu Sichen? Why was he here?

Pei Zhen and Xiao Nian exchanged looks. Someone knocked on the door, “Xiao Nian.”

That deep, indifferent voice that was unmistakably Fu Sichen’s.

Xiao Nian wiped his brow, feeling slightly panicked. He had no choice but to open the door. Putting on a polite smile, he said, “Mr. Fu, what brings you here?”

Fu Sichen stood at an impressive 190 centimeters.

Looking past Xiao Nian, he spotted the Persian cat on the desk at once. He immediately brushed Xiao Nian aside and squeezed past the office entrance.

Even though Fu Sichen was from a different agency, he was a very popular celebrity. When the girls in the office saw him come in, they were thrilled and smitten, trailing closely behind him.

“I… I have something to discuss with Mr. Fu.” Xiao Nian feared that all of this commotion would affect Pei Zhen negatively, so he quickly shut the door saying, “My dear sisters, please excuse us.”

As he turned around, and even before he had the opportunity to greet Fu Sichen properly, he saw that Fu Sichen was already reaching for Pei Zhen.

How would Pei Zhen be willing to go back with Fu Sichen?

The moment that Fu Sichen approached Pei Zhen the cat, his fur stood on ends, and he stared the man back in defiance. “Don’t touch me! If you touch me, I’ll eat you up!”

Pei Zhen opened his mouth as wide as possible, trying to look ferocious. He was hoping to intimidate Fu Sichen. But Fu Sichen, on the other hand, thought it was rather cute and didn’t even realize that it was meant to be scary.

Pei Zhen readied himself to run away, but Fu Sichen had already predicted the move, positioning himself at the corner of the desk. Like a mother hen welcoming in her chicks, he stretched his arms out before closing them around Pei Zhen.

“Are you trying to escape? Are you looking for a beating?”

Pei Zhen imploded with anger.

By now, Fu Sichen was already an experienced cat handler. After he took control of Pei Zhen’s limbs, Pei Zhen couldn’t even put up a struggle!

Anxious at the situation, Pei Zhen could only signal to Xiao Nian– hurry up and fight for my custody!
