Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"Heh." Senior Cat laughed, his voice sounding not much different. "A minute ago, didn't you two play with me naked for an hour? Why are you feeling shy now?"

Yu Man covered her eyes and didn't dare to talk back.

Senior Cat smiled brightly: "Xiao Man, don't you take a bath with me every day? Why are you shy now?"

The little deer wanted to escape upstairs and find a set of clothes for Senior Cat.

But Senior Cat's words were even more insistent: "Little Deer, when you're on a night raid, you often touch my belly and..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh—stop it, Cat Sister."

Xiaolu felt ashamed again, and he had really exhausted all the shyness in his life.

She rushed out of the door as if she was running for her life, looking for clothes.

Only Yu Man stayed here awkwardly, looking at the stranger in front of him.

In her opinion, that was a girl completely different from what she had imagined.

Senior Mao once said that she was a high school girl and a class monitor. Yu Man once thought that she was a big sister type of person.

But in reality, she was just that kind of girl, petite, with a quiet and elegant air, who always took things seriously and treated people with sincerity. Even more attractive than her beauty was her quietness that she never wanted to break.

Although - now I am naked.

And...it has...furry cat ears and a furry cat tail.

"How vulgar, 'lie', what era is this... and cat girls." Yu Man couldn't help but criticize "Three Secrets".

Cat-senpai—No.

Going against everything... isn't it.

The nameless cat girl looked at Yu Man with a smile, as if she was sighing that her wish had come true, and as if she was looking forward to the beginning of her life from then on.

She paid no attention to the pillowcase thrown at her, but just exposed her surprisingly thin and attractive body, walked on all fours as usual, and then found that something was wrong.

But she got closer to Yu Man.

Then, as always, he rubbed his face against hers affectionately, with his tail held high.

"Help, little deer—help…" Yu Man couldn't bear it any longer and fell to the ground in shock as if struck by lightning.

"Huh, didn't you like me like this before? Xiaoman, you have changed."

She happily wanted to lick her hand, but found that it was not furry, so she had to move on to the next step in disappointment.

"Come on, Xiaoman, help me take a bath first. I feel like my body needs cleaning."

"Cat-senpai, you're a human now... a human! Please... oh no, human-senpai! You're not a cat anymore!"

……

(Oh, how vulgar, Moon Crow.)

272 Serenade

"Just in case, I need to check your health..."

In the room, a girl named Yu Man asked this question.

She is a girl like a sunflower, her voice is full of condensed summer warmth and at the same time filled with the cuteness of flowers.

"First of all, Cat-senpai, what's your name?"

"...What's my name...?"

This is a difficult question, which puzzled the person being asked for a moment.

She could give many answers - such as her real name, although she had forgotten it a long, long time ago.

For example, she used to be called by a nickname that a girl often used...but times have changed so much that she no longer misses it.

Or... the name Cat Senior? But times have changed again.

She raised her hand and looked into it. Everything had changed. What she saw was no longer the soft fur and paws of a cat, but only a thin, pale hand, a girl's. So... the name "Cat Senior" no longer applied.

But she still remembered what this hand had held and what it had done.

"'Go against all things.'" She gave this name.

"No, can you give me something nicer to call me? Who are you trying to scare by carrying that title around all the time? But it seems like my memory is fine..."

Yu Man was very worried about her, especially after she and another girl named Xiaolu carried her to the bathroom, painstakingly bathed her, blow-dried her hair, and dressed her in normal clothes.

They always feel that memories and humanity will be washed away along with the past in the bath water.

Fortunately - no.

"—Don't even mention the three laurel crowns or anything like that. That name is longer..."

Yu Man stopped her from giving the next answer in advance.

Helpless, she could only go through her memories and finally found that name.

"Well... my former game ID was... Serenade."

"...a little...serenade?"

Yu Man repeated it, then confirmed it with the deer beside her before her expression softened. They all found it surprisingly easy to pronounce. However, they clearly hadn't expected the legendary "Ni Fu Wan Wu" to actually be called this.

As for Serenade himself, he still remembers why he chose this name.

In a music class where no one paid attention, her identity as class monitor forced her to listen carefully.

As for the music genres and representative pieces the teacher had introduced, she actually didn't listen to any of them. She only remembered the name "Serenade," which had a strange sense of romance.

Perhaps the meaning of the name itself will be forgotten——

But the emotions naturally conveyed by this short text can still touch her heart.

but--

"Okay, Mao Laoliu, then it seems that you are still normal." Yu Man ruthlessly crushed the romantic thoughts, "Brother, I feel relieved now."

Serenade wanted to scratch her angrily, but couldn't bring himself to do so, and he had already lost his claws.

She could only laugh it off.

After a long wait, she came here.

All the instincts he once had as a cat still lingered in his body, but after realizing that he was already a human, all of this was gradually disappearing... Serenade knew very well that he would soon adapt to them.

"Look, Mao Laoliu, of course I thought of you after I made money. Open it quickly and see how it works."

What’s amazing is that Yu Man prepared three gifts for her.

One was packed in a gift box, covered with incomprehensible words and scribbles.

Serenade took it over, very lightly.

She fiddled with her fingers unskillfully, and subconsciously used her little canine teeth to tear it open, only then did she see what it was.

"……Glasses?"

"Not bad!"

"...No, Xiaoman, when did you buy it?"

"Of course, that was when you were being held and played with by the deer—I bought it at the airport duty-free shop. I even borrowed some money from the deer because my bonus hadn't been deposited into my account yet. But the saleswoman recognized me and even yelled so much that the store manager in the white headscarf came out and gave me a lot of stuff out of his own pocket..."

Serenade subconsciously felt nostalgic, because she had experienced many such moments.

Yu Man is now world-famous, but it was much the same in the distant era of Serenade.

Those were non-prescription glasses with narrow, round black frames that looked very cute.

It turns out that what Yu Man meant by looking at the effect... was looking at this.

But Serenade didn't object, she just wore it out of habit. Just as she still retained many habits from her cat days, the habits from earlier times still had a place in her soul.

"Oh my god, that's kind of cute."

“Indeed…”

Yu Man and Xiao Lu sang in unison, but they were also busy, and found a mirror for the serenade.

Looking at the strange girl in the mirror, Serenade instinctively raised her eyebrows, thinking that this girl was really cute.

But—there are cat ears.

Serenade subconsciously touched it, and the fur felt very good, the crispy and soft structure was very elastic, and it could be kneaded at will, which was really nice. But if you pay attention, the fur inside will make your ear canal a little itchy, which feels quite strange.

At this time, Yu Man asked very seriously: "Cat Laoliu, Xiaolu and I made a bet. I want to see if you have human ears under your hair."

This……

This is quite a problem.

But based on how he listened to the sounds, Serenade seemed to already know the answer.

But after hesitating for a moment, she decided to cover all her hair and fight to the death.

Who would use someone else's body for gambling? How despicable...

Let this question haunt these bad guys forever - it's their fault for adding spare parts to their cars without their permission.

Seeing that Serenade was so determined, Yu Man had to give up and took out other gifts.

That was not a light little gift like the one just now, but a metal product that Yu Man and Xiao Lu carried with great effort, one in front and one behind.

"……crutch?"

"Well, I had the housekeeping robot buy this while I was giving you a bath. You can use it to spend your recovery time while you transform back into a human. You don't have to worry about people reporting you, as we're the only ones living in this house anyway."

Serenade found this quite humorous, thinking that she had become a sickly cat-eared beauty... and quite cute.

If only it weren't me.

According to her long experience and professional vision, a girl with this image must be loving and must have wealthy friends who often take care of her. If you rub against her, bite her lightly and show some cat charm, you can easily get delicious food.

"What about the third gift?" asked Serenade.

"this."

What Yu Man took out was a corrugated cardboard box containing electronic products.

thump.

It was like someone knocking on my heart, and Serenade's heart skipped a beat.

She recognized the size and the box without any patterns or product description.

I also recognize it after I open it - the way the bubble wrap is arranged and the smell it exudes... the smell of old-world magic.

Yu Man handed it to Serenade.

"Have a good trip to you—and to us."

“…Thank you, Xiaoman—thank you for bringing me to this day.”

Serenade looked at Yu Man tenderly, then looked at Xiaolu gratefully, and gently placed the gaming device in his hands and stroked it.

Then—she declared.

"Let us meet in the Old World, and I will secure your future."

……

Having said that, Yu Man didn't plan to log in immediately to meet up with Senior Cat.

No matter how vast and distant the old world may be, their realities actually exist in the same room.

Yu Man just lay on the sofa, checking the balance of her mobile banking account and counting the zeros again.

Alas, is this what Senior Cat has experienced... If I remember correctly, she also said that she donated almost all her career income, saying it was to "compensate the world."

She thought she was a genius of inestimable value, but she made the wrong choice to play games, causing the world to lose a genius who was bound to change everything.

So, she donated all her income to barely make up for the world's losses.

What a strange man.

Yu Man had no intention of following suit, but instead wanted to squander the money that had come to him so quickly.
