Chapter 251: Happiness Within Reach

Su Li watched Cat look at her with an expectant gaze. Hearing the tone Cat Hunter had just used, she felt Cat’s imitation was quite successful.

There was no emotion in her tone, yet the words she typed perfectly matched the client’s needs.

It was as if they were carved right from her own template.

Seeing Cat look at her expectantly, Su Li nodded.

She highly approved of Cat Hunter Lielie’s service; there was really nothing she needed to point out.

She only needed to pay attention to a few minor details.

“The primary job of a Cat Hunter is to chat with clients whenever they feel the need for company.”

“Of course, Lielie, if you don’t have any work during the day, you can just rest.”

“If you want to earn more money, you can tidy up the room or cook some meals.”

“If there’s anything you like, you can buy it and put it in your room. Once you have a bank card, I’ll help you deposit your earnings into it.”

Cat nodded obediently. The work Su Li introduced was easy and the pay was high. She had to work hard to repay Su Li.

‘In the future, I should also make sure to buy some fruit and vegetables for the house. If I just buy the groceries secretly and report fewer expenses to Su Li, it should be fine. After all, I’m eating the food myself, and I eat a lot. It would make me happy to treat Su Li to a meal.’

Cat stared tensely at the screen. She didn’t waste time; instead, she reviewed the words in the chat history.

“Su Li, Su Li, can I step away for a moment?” Cat blinked and asked.

Su Li nodded. “You don’t have to reply to messages instantly. It doesn’t matter if you’re delayed by a few minutes. Just consider it time spent thinking.”

Su Li was quite lenient with Cat. Even though she was spending Xiao Yuyu’s money, companion chatting required thinking, didn’t it?

Su Li watched as Cat returned to the room and brought out a notebook and a pen, looking like she was about to take notes. Cat was being a bit too serious.

Sensing Su Li’s confusion, Cat hurriedly explained, “Su Li, I thought there might be words I don’t recognize while chatting, so I want to record them in a notebook. That way, I’ll become familiar with them once I encounter them more often.”

“No problem at all. Your learning attitude is very sincere!” Su Li said approvingly.

A sweet smile appeared on Cat’s face, though she was a little puzzled as to why the client hadn’t replied to her message. However, she wasn’t in a hurry.

Instead, she began practicing her writing in the notebook.

“Is… is this okay?” She suddenly remembered that Su Li was the boss and was currently sitting right next to her. Doing other things during work hours would result in a pay cut with any other boss.

She felt she was being a bit too reckless.

“Of course it’s okay. You can do whatever you want while working, Cat. It’s fine even if you fall asleep. If you’re tired, you can play games for a bit or browse videos. You don’t have to sit here for long periods either. After all, companion chat work isn’t always available, so don’t feel too much pressure.”

Su Li patted Cat’s head. She was there to cover for everything anyway, so no accidents would happen.

Even if one did, she could smooth it over. Even if Cat messed up completely, it didn’t matter.

As her pooper-scooper, wasn’t it normal to help the cat clean up her messes?

Hearing Su Li’s words, Cat felt a bit embarrassed. Su Li was the best boss she had ever met.

Of course, she would still work hard to repay her.

However, she didn’t know why the client hadn’t replied for such a long time. Perhaps they were busy with something else.

Time slipped away, and ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

“Alright, this order is finished,” Su Li said.

Cat blinked, thinking this job was so easy. She felt as if she hadn’t done anything at all.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yuyu was currently lying on her bed in excitement, immersed in the “baby” Su Li had called her.

She had originally thought Su Li would be angry with her since, in a sense, she had broken their agreement.

But she hadn’t expected this. Su Li was even more patient and even encouraged her.

Although not receiving a call from Su Li in the morning had been upsetting, she hadn’t expected Su Li to actually look at things from her perspective and understand just how difficult weight loss was.

She even comforted her! It didn’t matter if she couldn’t get up today; she just had to work hard tomorrow!

Su Li wanted to be by her side every day. Xiao Yuyu felt so happy she was about to burst with joy!

She quickly pulled herself together and laboriously did a few sit-ups.

After finishing, she lay on the floor, still feeling a deep sense of satisfaction.

It was a feeling of happiness that felt within reach if she just worked a little harder.

“Su Li…” Xiao Yuyu murmured Su Li’s name as she lay on the floor, suddenly feeling recharged with motivation.

So, she did a few more sit-ups until getting back up became a difficult task.

Lying there, she remembered her phone was still on the bed. However, reaching for it was currently a struggle.

“I really… really want to pass this feeling of happiness… to Su Li…” Xiao Yuyu said, full of reluctance.

But she was too tired; even getting up to grab her phone was difficult.

…

Cat looked at Su Li’s phone and found that no new messages had been sent, which left her somewhat confused.

She glanced at Su Li, and seeing that she had no reaction, Cat went back to focusing on her educational videos.

‘Maybe humans are just like this?’ Cat thought to herself.

Su Li was a very, very good person. Naturally, Su Li’s clients must be the same.

They were probably worried Su Li wouldn’t make money, which is why the conversation ended after only a few sentences.

Cat realized she felt bad about Su Li’s money being spent, but she didn’t feel bad for the client’s money at all.

In fact, she even wanted Su Li to earn more.

She didn’t know if this way of thinking was normal, but since she was Su Li’s good friend, it was probably natural to feel this way.

“Congratulations to our Cat for earning her first pot of gold,” Su Li said.

In a strict sense, it wasn’t the first pot of gold she had ever earned, but it was the first bit of money earned under Su Li’s witness.

Hearing Su Li’s applause, Cat blushed slightly.

“Actually, it… it wasn’t much. I… I’m just standing on Su Li’s shoulders, which is why I could achieve this result!”

Cat recalled the phrase about shoulders she had heard somewhere and spoke with a hint of embarrassment.
