Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 227
Chapter 227 I’ll Do a Somersault
He Lulu and his clan saw the entire interaction between the Persian cat and Chu Yunshen. He became even more worked up, and he began to regret executing this plan. In fact, he regretted it very much.
This Persian cat was obviously different from other types of cats. He was sure that the cat was extraordinary and he did not need to verify it. The cat’s interaction with its owner was the solid proof!
He should have gone straight to the last step of the plan instead of wasting time here.
Right now, he did not want to wait for even a second. He wanted to immediately obtain the Persian cat!
Then, he would immediately sell off the cat. It would be best if he could exchange it for a dozen or so silver notes. No, scores of silver notes!
Of course, they had to fetch a high price for such a treasure.
De Ertai was over the moon too. It had been a long time since they had encountered such a big deal. The other business made some money too, but they spent the money as quickly as they earned it, so it was never enough.
It was still better to sell pets as the money came quickly. They could make money at any time they wanted.
De Ertai immediately talked to He Lulu in their dialect again, and he flung his fingers around as if he was excited about something.
Fortunately, everyone’s attention was on the cat now, or the vigilant troupe would definitely notice these two sneaky persons.
Among the people who looked at the cat, the one who was most worried was Chu Yunshen. He knew better than anyone what this little thing was like.
On usual days, the cat would hop around regardless of her own safety and enjoyed her life without the care in the world. Chu Yunshen was worried that she would accidentally hurt herself if she wasn’t careful.
At this time, Chu Yunshen was no longer as calm as before. He couldn’t continue to observe whether there was anything strange in the crowd or not, and he didn’t want to continue staring at the leader of the Hu merchants.
He had to concentrate on watching the cat. If anything went wrong later, he must be the first to protect her.
Compared with Chu Yunshen, who was like a mother worried about her daughter, Cheng Xiaoxiao was at ease.
She first took a graceful catwalk to Tingzhu and hooked the hem of Tingzhu’s clothes with her paw, indicating that he should strike the gong for her. Then, she walked to the place where Mu Bai had stood when he was performing just now. That place was exactly in the center of the performance area.
Tingzhu was still hesitating. He looked at the Persian cat’s determined expression and then at Chu Yunshen.
The cat stared at Chu Yunshen too. When the cat donned an adorable and pitiful look, Chu Yunshen finally closed his eyes and nodded in compromise.
Tingzhu no longer hesitated after receiving Chu Yunshen’s order. It was as if he was born to be a promoter, as he swiftly came up with his new welcoming speech again.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time! Oh my goodness! I can’t believe it! It’s the Persian cat’s personal performance! It’s really here! What are you waiting for? Show us your talents! Let’s go!”
As the last two words of Tingzhu fell, a rapid gong sounded. Tingzhu pointed the gong hammer at the cat, indicating that she could start now.
This crowd had better prepare themselves for her show!
The vixen cat was about to appear on the stage! Be careful in case the dazzle blinded your eyes!
Cheng Xiaoxiao was already prepared, so she didn’t have stage fright.
She rubbed her palms together and stretched her muscles, firmly staring at the empty space in front of her. After a deep breath, she did not hesitate to exert strength with her legs. Then, she kicked hard and did a beautiful backflip in the air before landing perfectly.
Awesome!
It was completely effortless!
Cheng Xiaoxiao originally thought that her skills were a little rusty since she had not been a burglar for too long. In addition, she had indeed become a lot more relaxed and fatter during this period of time.
However, she did not expect that her skills were still so agile and even a little more natural and neater than when she was a person.
What a pleasant surprise!
But why did these people have no reaction?
Cheng Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at the people who were staring at her in confusion. She doubted why no one clapped.
Was it because her performance was too mundane?
But Cheng Xiaoxiao had planned to start from an easy one. If she did something complicated and difficult at the beginning, the audience would not be surprised at her finale.
However, looking at these people’s sluggish expressions now, she figured that this was probably the end of her performance…
This was the first time Cheng Xiaoxiao had performed on stage, and she ended up in such a miserable state. She felt a little disheartened and disappointed.
She lowered her head in frustration, but she was directly shaken by the sudden sound of a gong from Tingzhu.
Accompanied by this sound of the gong was a wave of applause, and several bold persons even whistled at Cheng Xiaoxiao.
What was going on?
Tingzhu’s gong sounded more like a wake-up call to those who were still in a state of shock. They all came back to their senses and screamed at the snow-white Persian cat in the middle. They even shouted crazily, “Again! Again!” They looked just like those fanatical fangirls in the modern era.
Oh my goodness!
Did they all awaken? Did they fall silent and in a daze just now because they were shocked by my performance?
No way! Were they so ignorant? Had they never seen a cat tumble before? How pitiful.
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked around with pity, but she could not hide the pride in her eyes.
Actually, it was not surprising that these Hu people were astonished. Gu Hunge had said that they had indeed never seen a Persian cat perform acrobatics before, not to mention how beautiful and charming this cat was!
Chu Yunshen also did not expect that his little Persian cat had this kind of ability. His original worries were also diluted a lot by the joy of the Persian cat’s successful performance. However, as the surrounding people became more and more excited, Chu Yunshen suddenly felt a little unhappy.
This was his cat.
It seemed that he could not let this little thing be so flamboyant in the future, because it would easily land the little thing in trouble.
Yes, it was better to be careful.
Chu Yunshen made up his mind to hide the cat when he was out on an investigation in the future.
Meanwhile, Tingzhu and the cat had a tacit understanding for the first time, and they did not need to signal each other. Moreover, Tingzhu was hyped up when he saw the porcelain jar in Songtao’s hands that was stuffed with money to the brim. Unexpectedly, he struck the gong and started the second round of performance without waiting for Chu Yunshen’s order.
Since Tingzhu had struck the gong, Chu Yunshen could no longer diminish the cat’s enthusiasm. In fact, the cat’s spirited look was different from when she was in his embrace.
The cat was ostentatious, bright, and energetic at this moment. For some reason, Chu Yunshen found it strange, yet there was a sense of familiarity in her lively expression.
Suddenly, the pair of cheeky and whimsical eyes flashed through Chu Yunshen’s mind again.
He had not been in that strange dream for a long time, but he would suddenly think of that mysterious figure from time to time.
He wondered if she was here right now and what she was doing…
It was rare for Chu Yunshen to be in a trance. He lowered his eyes slightly, but he had fallen into his deep thoughts. He wondered if he could find the answer he wanted in that place.
Standing in the middle of the stage, the Persian cat was a little discontented as she didn’t see the familiar black and profound eyes she yearned for, but she quickly spruced up and continued to perform.
“Cheng Xiaoxiao, don’t get distracted! This is a critical moment! You can’t fail!”
“Anyone can care less and not focus, but you can’t!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao warned herself repeatedly in her mind and once again adjusted her state of mind and relaxed her mood. After a deep breath, she did three beautiful backflips in a row.
“Wonderful!”
This time, waves of cheers came from the crowd before Tingzhu could strike the gong. The audience applauded and cheered excitedly.
Of course, everyone hurrahed but Chu Yunshen.
When the Persian cat bowed to the audience, Chu Yunshen clearly heard some disharmonious voices coming from the crowd. Of course, he was the only one who conflicted with the comment.
In the crowd, a Hu child, who was being carried, sighed to his parent, “Mom, the cat is so cute. Let’s take it home with us!”
This childish voice of the boy coupled with his innocent expression made not only his parents but also the small group of people around him laugh.
Someone in the crowd promised the boy, “Son, after the show is over, I’ll catch the cat and give it to you, okay?”
“Okay, okay, okay! You have to be gentle and don’t scare it!”
The boy immediately clapped his hands delightfully, but he tilted his head and prompted the man who spoke to him to be careful. Judging from his tone, the boy genuinely cared for the cat.
When the adults heard the child’s words, they laughed even louder. While laughing, they also praised, “Look at him, he’s so serious. He really cares for the cat!”
The child did not know why the adults looked at him and smiled so happily, but he laughed along with them.
Seeing the surrounding people were so happy, the boy’s parents happily hugged the boy and continued to tease him.
The more they laughed, the worse Chu Yunshen’s expression became. Those people were standing very close to Chu Yunshen. When he heard the boy, he wanted to go forward and scold him, but it turned out that the adults were even more ridiculous.
The Persian cat belonged to the dignified Prince Jing. How dare these Hu people dreamed of getting her!
Chu Yunshen pursed his thin lips grumpily. Considering the current situation, he suppressed his fury silently and continued to watch the performance, pretending not to hear the discussions behind him.
But he was once again certain that he would never step foot in this brothel street and the Pink Alley with the cat again once this case was over.
As for these annoying and ignorant Hu people, he would never let them see the cat again.
After making up his mind, Chu Yunshen calmed himself down and continued watching the cat’s performance. Seeing that Xiaowu and the others were cheering for her, he wanted to clap along with them.
However, just as Chu Yunshen clasped his palms together, Xiaowu and the others turned to look at him. Under their puzzled gazes, Chu Yunshen could only clear his throat and awkwardly put his hands down by his side.
Seeing their Master’s indifference, Xiaowu and the men shrugged nonchalantly before turning their heads back and continuing to applaud the cat.
