283: Chapter 263 Meow 283: Chapter 263 Meow “Every morning, I’m woken up by my own poverty, meow!” Early morning, Meow woke up from the ceiling of her own house. “Who?” But when she looked in the mirror, the girl with dreadfully dark circles around her eyes and a pale, haggard face frightened her. “*Slap* *Slap*” With a sigh, she splashed water onto her face, rubbing her eyes, particularly the reddened corners, vigorously. “*Puffy cheeks*” She squeezed her face into round puffy cheeks and rubbed it until it turned red, but that didn’t help much. After rubbing, when she looked in the mirror, it was still quite obvious… In the quiet of the night, although she had Little White to keep her company, the girl who wasn’t used to being alone had tear-stained cheeks. “No, meow, I need to go to work, meow.” She hesitated for a moment, looked at the set of cosmetics Hua senior sister had given her in the cabinet. Perhaps… she could use some? Ten minutes later, looking at the oddly painted face in the mirror, her cat fur and ears stood on end. “Meow! Who? Ah… Ah-choo meow!” A sneeze from the powder made her feel uncomfortable. Meow, with no other choice, spent twice as much time to clean it off and get back her natural look. Meow’s very first attempt at makeup ended in a disastrous failure, and for quite a long time, she avoided it. But perhaps the makeup really had miraculous effects or was a visual illusion brought about by her efforts to remove it; this time, it didn’t seem so obvious. She glanced at the clock; it was already 7:30 AM, and she had to hurry. Washing her face again, giving her cereal some water, and adding a few cat biscuits, Meow opened her mouth unhappily, starting yet another day of poverty. However, before she could even take a few bites, the unpaid bills on the table made her even more depressed. “… Really, not paying the electricity and rent before leaving, meow!” “Hmm, Little White, you think so too, meow? How excessive, right?!” “Those bad guys from the Bureau of Anomaly Management, even though I said I didn’t know, they needed a lie detector test, why don’t they believe me, meow…” Some things, when talked about with a cat, only make her angrier and angrier. “No, no, meow! We should be optimistic, meow!” After eating, time was running out, so she put Little White on her head and headed straight out. Of course, she wouldn’t forget her new equipment. A purple-gray cloak and blood-red boots… The two silver items were far too extravagant for a newbie like her who didn’t even have a 2-tier qualification. As a result, she wore the cloak beneath her uniform and tucked the boots under her pants, hiding them as much as possible. Now wearing them, she felt somewhat uncomfortable; the upper body was too tight, and the boots were too loose. Lu Ping’an promised her that once the workshop was built, he would have a craftsman’s robot adjust it for her first; taking it to other craftsmen for processing now would not only be wasteful but also conspicuous. “Meow, that stingy guy.” Although thinking about the person who always bullied her made Meow pout unintentionally, the depression in her heart unknowingly faded away. “I have to work hard, meow…” This time, even though she complained about the debt, she smiled. The debt was not money, but the help and kindness of others. When she lost her job, sister Xia directly rehired her. Elder Brother Xue and Hua senior sister, despite being seriously injured, didn’t complain or blame her; instead, they comforted her and told her not to overthink it. Thinking of these two people, as well as sister Xia, Lei Shuiyun became somewhat dejected again. “At the time, if I had used that, meow, maybe they wouldn’t be hurt, and brother wouldn’t have left. If I had stepped in and tried to stop it myself…” Although Lu Ping’an had asked her to hold onto her trump card, he didn’t strictly order her, allowing her autonomy… She couldn’t wait until everyone died before using it, right? Eventually, Lei Shuiyun witnessed everything… She knew rationally that this was the best outcome, but the cost was the severe injury or even death of her three friends. Maybe if she had taken a step forward, she could have done better; maybe there really was a perfect ending from a fairy tale, but she didn’t know how to achieve such a happy ending, which was only limited to stories. She felt guilty and even apologized to Hua senior sister and the others… However, she was hugged and had her cat ears rubbed as a result. “If you want to cry, just cry.” One day, it was the first time Meow cried in public. She swore it would be the last time. “Hey, isn’t this our auxiliary police comrade? The little sister of the righteous butcher?” “Five million six hundred thousand in bounty. Give a hundred million directly with a weapon, oh my goodness, do you think if we hand over his sister, they’ll give us one percent of that?” As soon as she left her house, she was met with full-on malice. This was the dormitory area not far from the Special Service Team’s base. It was the low-cost rent created at the time of the unified contract, and now it was the peak of the work hours. She had encountered malicious “neighbors” several times these days. She could understand that everyone was having a hard time during this period, and many of her colleagues had their friends die in this incident. Her brother seemed to be the source of all the trouble. But understanding doesn’t mean accepting. No matter the source, malice always makes people hard to tolerate. In the past, there were always good neighbors and partners who greeted her with a smile. Now, they either exchanged harsh words or watched coldly from a distance. The world, which was once full of goodwill, seemed to have been torn apart overnight, turning everything into malice, harsh words, toxic curses, and feeling like she was the one at fault. Everyone seemed to be on the opposing side, and even though she could understand it, it all still upset her… “No good, no good meow, need to be optimistic meow!” The girl with reddened eyes lowered her head, but in the next moment, she tilted it back up and squeezed out a sunny smile, pretending she hadn’t heard anything. She hurried past the stairs, intending to go on her way, but someone didn’t intend to let her go. “Hey, you…” The increasingly agitated man reached out to grab her, and Meow instinctively closed her eyes in fright. “Boom!” A loud bang, the sound of a fist colliding with a head. A familiar figure stood there, blocking her way, his face filled with indifference and impatience. The man who tried to grab her moments ago was now smashed into a small pit in the floor. “Thump!” His foot stomped directly onto the man, even twisting it intentionally, causing the man beneath him to start spasming in pain. Standing on top of the man, the young man in a Special Service Team uniform yawned, growing more and more impatient. “Let’s go, Captain Xia sent me to pick you up. And help you move out. She sure knows how to use people.” “Move out meow? Move where?” “Didn’t Xia tell you? You’re moving in with us. Hurry up, we have a morning meeting later.” As he spoke, he unhesitatingly opened the door and entered her house, where she had only a few belongings, causing a clutter of noise inside. “Pfft, you even learned to make up like others! Vanity cat!” “Don’t mess around meow!!” This time, as always, when she saw this jerk, all the melancholy and sensitivity vanished. “…This is private meow, don’t go through my underwear drawer!!” “You haven’t even grown all your fur yet, what privacy do you have? Pfft, turns out it’s bandages, not underwear… Why are you grabbing me?” “Gonna strangle you!” The hallway was empty, while the unfortunate man embedded into the floor ensured that Lu Ping’an would face another round of criticism. ——- ——- “Thank you, sister Xia.” After some time had passed, Meow found an opportunity to thank Xia Qin. “Huh?” Xia Qin was a little confused about what she was being thanked for. “Didn’t you invite me to live with you before, meow?” “…Didn’t you come over on your own? Uh, I don’t mean that, I welcome you, but I didn’t really invite you. That day I just sent him to pick you up, and then you moved over with Lu Ping’an right away, bringing all your belongings with you.” Alright, there was no need to say anything more. It was that certain someone again, who managed to deceive her without even telling a single lie.
