Welcome to Mimi Café, would you like a cat today?
The familiar voice reached Luo Shuangyue’s ears, reminding her of a few days ago when the enthusiastic café owner made her sit and drink several cups of coffee.
Today, Xiao Mimi was dressed differently, with the cat-ear headband on her head changing from brown to one black and one white.
It seems she often changes her accessories?
Since it was the weekend, the café was quite busy, with three or four girls in black maid outfits adorned with cat-ear headbands and cat-tail decorations bustling about, carrying trays.
This Mimi Café wasn’t just a cat café—it was also a legendary maid café.
Meow~
A few cats sauntered over to Luo Shuangyue’s feet with elegant, lazy steps, rubbing their heads against her pants.
This made Luo Shuangyue’s heart skip a beat.
She recognized these cats—they were the ones that had pestered her last time, trying to paw at her socks!
Could it be that these cats remembered her scent?
“Wow, they’re so cute!”
Luo Shuangxing didn’t notice her brother’s slight panic; her attention was completely captivated by the adorable or elegant cats.
Crouching down, she reached out to pet them, but the cats that had been clinging to Luo Shuangyue immediately scurried behind her the moment they sensed Luo Shuangxing’s hand approaching.
They even peeked out, glaring at her with wary eyes.
Luo Shuangxing’s outstretched hand froze.
Her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
“Am I that disliked by cats?”
She asked Xia Mo tearfully, seeking some comfort.
Xia Mo scratched her cheek awkwardly.
How was she supposed to answer that?
Thankfully, Xiao Mimi’s voice came to her rescue.
“Don’t be sad, dear customer. These are the shyest cats we have. Only people who are naturally loved by cats can get close to them.”
“Including this customer, I only know of two people who can make these cats approach and act affectionate.”
Xiao Mimi said with a smile, though her gaze toward Luo Shuangyue carried a hint of curiosity.
She knew firsthand how timid these cats were.
Even she had to be extremely careful to get near them, yet within less than a week, two customers had managed to make these cats approach them willingly.
What a coincidence.
If it weren’t for the fact that Miss Die’er was a lovely girl and this customer was a man, Xiao Mimi might have thought this customer was Miss Die’er herself.
“Please take a seat first, dear customer. You can scan the QR code on the table to order.”
“Okay, got it.”
Luo Shuangyue nodded, reaching down to pull her dejected sister up from the floor and leading her further into the café.
The spot she sat at last time was still empty, but seeing it made Luo Shuangyue shudder.
This time, she’d pick a different spot.
Choosing a seat nearby, Luo Shuangyue took out her phone to let Xia Mo and her sister order while she picked up a small black cat by her feet.
Honestly, this cat was quite adorable—if only it weren’t so clingy and overly enthusiastic.
As the little thing started pawing at her clothes again, a trace of resignation flashed in Luo Shuangyue’s eyes.
“Shuangxing, you can hold this one.”
Smiling, Luo Shuangyue handed the black cat to her sister.
“Thanks, big bro! I knew you were the best!”
Luo Shuangxing took the black cat, her face lighting up with a goofy grin as she began to enthusiastically pet the poor creature.
The pitiful black cat struggled with all its might but was no match for Luo Shuangxing.
After a thorough mauling, the little thing was completely drained, lying limply in Luo Shuangxing’s arms, its eyes full of despair.
Bzz… Xia Mo’s phone suddenly vibrated, and she looked up at Luo Shuangyue with a puzzled expression.
“Shuangyue, someone named ‘Boss’ sent you a message…”
“Boss… what?!”
Luo Shuangyue sucked in a sharp breath.
Oh no, Monis, you couldn’t have picked a worse time to message me!
Fumbling to take the phone from Xia Mo, Luo Shuangyue saw a new message on the screen.
‘Mingdie, go to this location and wait.’
Oh man, that was a close one!
Cold sweat beaded on Luo Shuangyue’s forehead. Without even opening the message, she turned to Xia Mo and her sister.
“I’m stepping out for a bit. You two go ahead and order.”
Watching Luo Shuangyue rush off like a gust of wind, Xia Mo looked puzzled.
What could make Shuangyue so anxious?
“My brother’s just like that. Xia Mo-jie, use my phone to order.”
Placing the black cat on her lap, Luo Shuangxing unlocked her phone and was about to hand it to Xia Mo.
But just as Xia Mo reached for it, Luo Shuangxing’s phone vibrated too.
Blinking, Luo Shuangxing quickly pulled the phone back to check the message.
‘Monsters have appeared in the SU-57 area. Please head there immediately to assist!’
Now?!
Luo Shuangxing shot to her feet, giving Xia Mo an apologetic smile.
“Xia Mo-jie, my stomach hurts. I’m going to the bathroom!”
With that, she bolted out of the café just as frantically as Luo Shuangyue.
Xia Mo raised her hand slightly, wanting to point out that the café had a bathroom, but before she could speak, her own phone vibrated.
Taking it out, Xia Mo’s expression turned odd as she read the message.
