Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story
chapter-75

War of The Pets filmed in the city outskirts.

It was apparent by the programme title that the show was about pets. Celebrities would bring their pets onto the show to compete, have fun and all that.

It was quite an entertaining programme.

The first season did extremely well by word-of-mouth; hence they had to keep it up for the second season. Apart from the entertainment factor, they included an education element.

Pets were a gift of life, and the decision to adopt a pet came with responsibility until the end. It shouldn’t have been a case of a spur-of-the-moment decision making that ultimately harmed the pet.

The programme both entertained and educated, and the celebrities gained fame and fortune. The collaboration was mutually beneficial.

Lin Yousu previously kept the Persian cat for the programme. Only, she hadn’t expected that in the end, the Persian cat would find a new owner.

“Fu Sichen.” Lin Yousu had a dog in tow; she waved at Fu Sichen. “We meet again. What a coincidence.”

Fu Sichen and the cat in his arms stared at her wordlessly.

The unhappy incident of Lin Yousu trying to gain popularity through Fu Sichen was still hanging in the air. It was a loss for both parties. After all, the Persian cat’s ex-owner was really Lin Yousu—the point went coldly unacknowledged by Fu Sichen.

[He only has a Dad].

Emmmmmm…

It was a rare play of words by Fu Sichen—he had secretly meant for ‘Dad’ to include Pei Zhen.

“Fu Sichen, I now have a pet dog.” The camera was shooting the scene; hence Lin Yousu had to suppress her unhappiness. She tried to start a conversation with Fu Sichen. “His name is Jack.”

Jack was a Husky.

Lin Yousu bought it last minute so that she had a pet.

Lin Yousu bought pets on a whim. Previously, the Persian cat was taken care of by her assistant. But because this time around she had to be on the variety show with her pet, she put in some effort to take care of it for a few days.

It was common for cats and dogs to fight. Whenever they came face-to-face with each other, they would prepare for a dizzying showdown. One would start howling, and the other would puff itself up for confrontation.

As expected, the Husky, which was looking everywhere else initially, fixed his gaze the moment he saw Pei Zhen. With a fierce expression, he gave a powerful bark.

“Oh.” Lin Yousu squatted down and rubbed the dog’s face affectionately when it barked. She comforted it. “Darling, going by age, Pei Pei is your big brother.”

As she said that, Lin Yousu turned to Fu Sichen and gave him a sweet smile. “Isn’t that so, Best Actor Fu?”

The hidden meaning of her words was clear to both of them.

Lin Yousu was hoping that Fu Sichen would at least agree upfront that she was the cat’s ex-owner. But Fu Sichen ignored her, and her Husky was not too happy about the age issue.

“I’m your older brother!” said the young Husky.

Pei Zhen was full of disdain. “Beyond stupidity.”

On hearing Pei Zhen’s remark, the Garfield belonging to the celebrity beside them yawned and repeated what Pei Zhen said. The Inu Shiba two seats down didn’t want to be left out and said the same thing. Then, it started to spread like a plague; all the cats started meowing, and the dogs started barking. Then it all came to a grand finale where a parrot screeched, “Beyond stupidity!”

The celebrities were taken aback and wondered what was going on.

So did the directing crew.

The parrot’s owner was terribly embarrassed and turned beet red. “M-my Tiger wouldn’t normally curse and swear.”

Everyone kept quiet.

A parrot called Tiger—did the owner even consider how the bird might feel!

Pei Zhen recovered from his shock and looked at the parrot which was quite a distance away. He shouted across to the bird, “Quite awesome, Brother!”

“Not at all, not at all,” said the parrot.

Human beings wouldn’t understand the cat language.

However, that wasn’t the case when a parrot spoke.

Hence everyone started to laugh heartily when they heard the parrot’s remark. The parrot’s owner became the focus of attention and turned bright red from all the teasing. He contemplated how the parrot would normally keep quiet when he attempted to tease it, but today it was active and chatty.
