Only pets give their masters treats unconditionally, and only pets show kindness to their masters. This is Luna's simple belief.

"I'm Luna!"

With no interest in lying and due to the cost of a Miracle, Luna spoke the truth.

The pet of a pet, which was Dong Chengling, gently stroked Luna's face, released her grip on her neck, and nodded, "I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else. My apologies."

Luna heaved a sigh of relief, but at that moment she also realized something—she was disguised as a pet (Ren Suo)!

So, did she recognize me as a pet?

Luna's curiosity was piqued, and she asked, "Do I look very much like the person you're looking for?"

"Yes, you look exactly the same."

"Then how did you know I wasn't him?" Luna asked. "Is it possible that I might be lying?"

"You might lie, but he wouldn't," the woman in white shook her head slightly. "He wouldn't tell a lie that could hurt me. Besides, he's easy to recognize."

Luna felt that although the woman in front of her was talking to her, her gaze and her smile were meant for someone in her memories.

She remembered this expression well; her pet Little Jade, ever since finding a mate, would occasionally give her that look and smile while embracing her at home.

She never understood it and even felt jealous: Little Jade used to attend to her so attentively!

Since Little Jade found a mate, her feeding was no longer timely, she seldom played with Luna, and her quality of life visibly declined, forcing her to go out in the sun or play with other friends. Luckily, there was that guy who delivered milk and spicy strips on time, but she had to work for him (house-sitting)—since when do cats work for humans!

Now, while she still couldn't understand these feelings and remained jealous, a new emotion suddenly emerged within her.

Envy.

Luna asked, "Why are you looking for him?"

"Because he's terrible at taking care of himself," said the woman in white with a serene smile. "And I'm very good at taking care of him."

Watching the woman in white leave, a hint of Jealousy flared up in Luna again: How nice, how great it must be. That pet is not as cute as me, not as pretty as me, not as good at grooming as me, but why is his pet so wonderful!

Pet, you should learn this! Anyway, I hardly have any fur to lick, so you don't have to help me with grooming, but you ought to learn this kind of attitude!

To be a pet, you should be completely devoted to me, your master!

Luna huffed and continued her way home. She stepped through the Moon Step while using some mysterious feathers to perform Explosive Speed Teleportation. As she leaped onto a tall building, she suddenly noticed a white streak below her.

She looked intently and saw that there was a trail of ice on the side of the building. Someone was creating ice paths to move up the wall with incredible speed, and just as she reached the roof, they caught Luna from below and tumbled together onto the roof.

The figure immediately burst forth frost, covering the ground where they rolled, allowing Luna to feel as though she was rolling onto a soft bed of ice, painless.

"I've found you."

Lying on the ground, Luna saw the one embracing her was a long-haired woman with black hair cascading over her shoulders.

She wore a scarf around her neck patterned with Ice Crystals. Tall and slender, she was bundled in many layers of clothing, as if very sensitive to the cold. She was quite handsome and attractive, her eyes showing surprise and Joy as they caught Luna's, her hands gripping Luna's arms tightly.

However, the long-haired woman quickly showed a hint of bewilderment. "Wait... who are you?"

"I'm Luna!" Luna pouted, wondering why there was another person looking for a pet. "Do I look very much like the person you're looking for?"

"I'm sorry, I got it wrong," the long-haired woman quickly let go and helped Luna up, saying, "You look exactly the same... I was too hasty."

Luna asked, "Since I look exactly the same, how can you be sure I'm not him? Maybe I'm lying."

"If he were to lie to me, I would still believe his lie," the long-haired woman said. "Even if he deceived me, I would be happy. Besides, he's easy to recognize."

Luna was speechless.

Just a few days earlier, her life was still centered around eating and sleeping. Clearly, she couldn't fully grasp the meaning behind the long-haired woman's words, but that didn't stop her from thinking the long-haired woman was a very impressive and kind human.

Moreover, Luna also recognized her—wasn't the long-haired woman one of the humans who frequently visited that guy's place? She seemed to be a teacher from the academy...

Although her hair was much longer now, there was no mistaking that scent!

The same scent of the shower gel used by Little Jade!

The long-haired woman turned out to be another pet of a pet!

That guy actually had two pets!

Plus, the one he's currently with, that makes three!

Oh God, can he handle all of that?

She suddenly felt a little wronged: Why did that pet have two such wonderful pets and she had none—Little Jade's love was all given to her mate!

Luna asked, "Why are you looking for him?"

"Because he is too naive," the long-haired woman said softly. "I suspect that he could be lured away by two bad women."

Watching the long-haired woman skate away, Luna licked the back of her hand. When I get home, I'll have to ask my pet how to train pets, she thought. Then I can train this mischievous pet of mine into a good one like those two...

Lost in thoughts about other matters as she hurried along, Luna suddenly found herself being grabbed again. But this time the attacker was not as considerate as the long-haired woman, who had created an ice surface to buffer the impact. Instead, the assailant caused her to crash directly onto the hard rooftop.

Not only did Luna land hard on her bottom with a painful thud, but her face also smashed into something hard and flat, hurting her nasal bone and eliciting a pitiful MEOW from her.

"I found you!"

On a closer look, Luna saw that it was a girl who had grabbed her. Dressed in a plain sweater and a short skirt, her black tights outlined her straight legs. The only flaw might be her rather flat chest, but it also made her look slender...

Wait, was it your chest that hurt me just now?

Luna used the back of her hand to wipe her nose, knowing that this too was someone looking for a pet.

"Wait... who are you?" the girl also realized something was off and looked at Luna with confusion.

"My name is Luna!" Luna gritted her teeth and said, "Am I very similar to the person you're looking for?"

"Sorry, I've mistaken you for someone else," the girl immediately apologized. "You look almost exactly like him, so I just charged over..."

Luna asked, "Then how did you know I'm not him? I could also be lying, you know."

"Although that person has tricked me many times since we were children, he has never hurt me. If he truly lies, it's definitely for my sake," the girl shook her head and said. "Besides, he is easy to recognize."

Luna looked at her closely and quickly recognized that she was one of the humans who frequently visited that guy's house, seemingly a student from the academy—that guy's sister...

Could she be a pet's pet too?

Oh God, then doesn't that mean he has... four pets!

Even Luna felt there was something off at this point—even cats usually have only one or two pets, how could a human possibly have four! Pets are extremely good to have; they provide food and listen to commands! They're quite rare! Most cats only have one pet! Humans should be the same!

Although Luna didn't highly regard human values, she felt that guy seemed to be taking up too much of society's prime resources!

To confirm her suspicion, Luna tentatively asked, "Why are you looking for him?"

"Hm? Because he's so dumb," the girl laughed. "So dumb that he needs his smart sister to save the day... If it wasn't for me, his house might have exploded on his birthday! Who knows what kind of trouble he'd get into if I wasn't around..."

Watching the girl's retreating figure, Luna suddenly felt angry!

I'm cuter than he is, so why doesn't anyone give me money!

Instead, I lick him, and I have to give him money!

How is it that a mere pet is more popular than me!

Damn it!

Just as Luna was furiously teleporting home, she suddenly felt an impact from behind, and then she was pressed onto the rooftop!

"I've finally found you!"

As Luna was turned over, she saw herself being pinned under a wedding dress. The white wedding dress, soft waist, ample breasts, dazzling makeup, and lovely hair—all captivated Luna to the point that she couldn't look away.

So beautiful.

Even though Luna's aesthetic was currently undergoing a shift, she could clearly recognize that the woman before her radiated a kind of beauty that was highly desirable.

She suddenly felt an urge to be like the woman in front of her, to wear the same makeup, style her hair the same way, wear the same clothes...

However, the bride-to-be touched Luna's face, and her expression changed slightly. "...Who are you?"

Luna blinked and quickly connected the bride-to-be with a certain female in her memory—another one of the humans who came and went from that guy's house!

Another pet's pet!

Luna was completely furious in that instant. "I am Luna!"

Why does he have five pets that treat him well, yet I only have him and Little Jade! And Little Jade is already about to live with another male human!

I'm so angry!

Why don't I have such good fortune!

What a pity! A pet's pet isn't *my* pet!

The bride-to-be lifted Luna's face and scrutinized it for a moment before saying, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. You look just like him."

Not willing to accept it, Luna asked, "How did you know I'm not the person you're looking for? Maybe I'm lying."

"No, no, if he could tell lies and sweet talk, I would've devoured him long ago," the bride-to-be shook her head and said. "Besides, he's very easy to recognize."

Again, Luna asked, "So, what do you want him for? To take care of him, protect him, or help him?"

"Huh? All the things you mentioned, I'd do for him. But before that, he has to do one thing with me..." The bride-to-be stood up and, under the Moonlit Night, turned with a graceful poise that captivated the heart.

"That is, marry me."

She crossed her arms over her chest and, with a tilted head, looked at Luna and chuckled. "After all, he's quite naive. The better I am to him, the more he'll return the favor, but it's just too slow... I want to invest the latter half of my life to secure his entire life."

After the bride-to-be left, Luna didn't continue on her way home but obediently stayed put, gazing at the moon and sinking into deep thought for a very long time—a longer period than she had ever spent reflecting since birth.

First, she felt anger, confusion, Jealousy, and doubt, but gradually, she stepped into a new realm of thought.

Battle didn't Evolve her thinking, character labels didn't Evolve her thinking, but the night's successive shocks finally gave Luna an epiphany.

She no longer dwelled on those aimless emotions but instead considered a deeper question: Why couldn't those four humans find that guy (Ren Suo) when they were looking everywhere for him? Why didn't Ren Suo come out to look for them?

Moreover, based on her experience freeloading in her pet's home, Luna never noticed Ren Suo showing signs of missing anyone, which meant Ren Suo doesn't miss other people.

So, it was Ren Suo who deliberately kept his distance from those four!

But they were so good to Ren Suo, why would he keep away from them?

At that moment, Luna suddenly remembered a small incident she heard from a friend: In her friend's house, besides the friend, there was a Husky master and a Corgi master, but the three of them only had one human pet. Therefore, they often fought over the human's attention, turning the house into chaos.

Having many pets is asking for trouble!

Realizing this, Luna had an epiphany: No wonder he (Ren Suo) doesn't dare come out; he's afraid of his home exploding!

Luna immediately headed back home, this time without encountering any interception on the way.

Back home, it was her pet who opened the door. He looked at Luna and flashed a handsome and honest smile. "Welcome back."

Luna quickly slipped into the house and closed the door, grabbing her pet's arms with both hands and said seriously, "From now on you should not go out, or you will definitely be killed by someone."

Ren Suo was completely baffled. "…Hmm?"

Ren Suo felt the words were familiar. It seemed like a plot he'd encountered in a game, but it must have been unrelated to the main storyline, or he would have remembered it. Besides, the statement made no sense. Except for Zhao Huo, Ren Suo hadn't offended anyone else, and Zhao Huo couldn't kill him.

He helped Luna take off her coat and shoes. Then, as childish calls from Gu Yueyan came from the study, Ren Suo gestured to Luna to go play with a ball while he went back to the study to continue grinding experience with another girlfriend.

Seated on the couch, Luna watched Ren Suo moving in and out of the study, and suddenly became curious: Why does he have four... five pets? Does he possess some special qualities in certain aspects?

And why did those people think of him with that strange expression as if they were in heat, yet not quite in heat?

Luna suddenly felt invigorated: If he becomes my only pet, won't I be able to monopolize all his qualities and also enjoy that special human state that seems but isn't quite like being in heat?

No sooner said than done, when Ren Suo once again emerged from the study, Luna immediately pinned him against the wall, her hands pressing down on his hands and her legs against his knees.

Seeing Ren Suo's slightly puzzled face, Luna huffed and reached her hands towards him—

rubbing back and forth.

kneading back and forth.

squeezing back and forth.

Is this face really that recognizable?

Apart from looking quite irritating to cats, it didn't have any special features. Why did those four keep saying this face was easy to recognize?

And as she rubbed his head more and more, Luna slowly remembered this guy used to rub her head in the same crazy way. The more Luna thought about it, the angrier she became. Showing her little canine teeth, she asked viciously, "How do you like it? Happy now?"

"Hap-hap-happy, happy—" Ren Suo responded helplessly, letting Luna ravage him.

Fortunately, he had used facial cleanser and toner early that morning; otherwise, Luna might have rubbed grime off his face, and that would have been embarrassing.

At that moment, CLICK. The study door opened.

Luna's eyes lit up. She grabbed Ren Suo's face and was about to lick him. But just as she moved, Ren Suo suddenly embraced her and threw them both to the ground. He cushioned their fall with his body, then quickly pushed Luna away and stood up, giving her no chance to lick his mouth!

Gu Yueyan came out and saw them getting up from the ground, asking curiously, "What happened?"

"Just now Luna and I bumped into each other and fell," Ren Suo said earnestly.

It was obviously you who intentionally fell down! And now you're blaming me!

Luna glared at Ren Suo resentfully. She had made up her mind to monopolize this pet, and to do so, she first had to make the other female retreat!

Suddenly an idea struck her. She clutched her stomach and exclaimed, "Ah, my stomach..."

In the animal kingdom, pregnant females have more rights! I can help him bear a litter of cubs, and she can't. Naturally, she will back off!

Ren Suo immediately squatted down to touch her stomach, saying seriously, "Have you eaten too much ice cream recently? It feels soft to the touch."

Luna pouted and said, "I mean my stomach hurts!"

Ren Suo said, "Even if you fall while wrestling, it's your bottom that would hurt, not your stomach. Don't talk nonsense. All your meals are prepared by Yueyan. If Yueyan gets mad, she won't cook for you anymore."

Luna's heart skipped a beat. Right, her current diet was all provided by that female. She was only living here, eating and drinking for free because of her relationship with the pet, and she couldn't offend that female.

"Luna isn't suffering from stomach pain. She's clearly hungry," Gu Yueyan said with a smile, then turned and headed to the kitchen. "Then I'll start cooking. Mr. Suo, come help."

"Sure thing." Ren Suo hurriedly walked over, but he was stopped by Luna grabbing his wrist.

Luna made a last-ditch effort. "You just said you liked me, was it true?"

Gu Yueyan, walking ahead, heard this and turned her head back, looking at the two of them with a hint of perplexity.

According to the tags in her mind, if the pet denied it, it meant their relationship was over. If the pet admitted it, then the relationship between the pet and that female might also very likely end.

Even though Luna wanted to monopolize this pet, all her attempts had failed to change his heart, and she quickly lost interest, opting for a direct confrontation.

The transition from Desire to laziness and giving up took her less than five minutes.

Then, she saw Ren Suo calmly say, "Yes, I like you."

"And everyone else."

After saying that, Ren Suo quickly ushered Gu Yueyan toward the kitchen to start cooking, leaving a completely baffled Luna behind.

She was utterly frozen.

What was the situation now?

Did he just Dodge that killer question?

What happened to 'very bad at taking care of himself', 'too little sense of caution', 'very foolish', 'very naive'?

Did those four humans mistake the person?

They described this guy as innocent as a house cat, but in reality, he's more of a shameless flirt than a stray cat!

Are all humans just big jerks who trick cats?

Just as Luna began to doubt her life as a cat, Ren Suo came back with two Sheep Milk Ice Creams in hand.

"Only one per hour, I didn't make too many," Ren Suo handed an ice cream to Luna, then he too leaned against the wall and began licking his own.

Luna cheered and began eating the ice cream, while glancing at the one in Ren Suo's hand. Ren Suo felt embarrassed after only two licks and bit off the part he licked, passing the rest to Luna.

Luna didn't hesitate at all, shoving both ice creams into her mouth, her cheeks bulging out.

"I didn't realize you liked this so much," Ren Suo scratched his head, muttering. "I'll always have them ready for you, ensuring you can eat them every time you return. Although I'm not great at cooking, this doesn't require any skill... It's one of the few things I can do for you."

Luna hummed in agreement with two ice creams in her mouth, her face full of contentment and bliss.

No wonder they all wanted to find this pet; he was actually providing an endless supply of Sheep Milk Ice Cream!
