The users who followed Xian Chan Cat Café on Bishui Station finally caught a new video.
Before they even had time to click and watch, they crowded in to grab the “sofa” spots. In the blink of an eye, dozens of comments popped up. Only when they saw their own comment floors near the front did they contentedly open the video.
The star of this video was the cloud-and-snow-like lion cat in the café.
In the previous video introducing the cat café, several big cats made appearances, with the video giving their breeds and personalities. Fans had been captivated ever since Yun Chao first appeared. Moreover, Yun Chao’s personality was quite different from the other affectionate cats in the café. She is aloof and imposing, paired with astonishing beauty, perfectly creating a commanding aura.
This kind of aura was especially captivating.
Right at the beginning of the video, the snow-white big cat could be seen lazily lying on a beige carpet, next to the little princess familiar to fans. Within a few minutes, the little princess’s attention was drawn away by a rolling toy, and she dashed off with pattering steps.
The person filming with the phone seemed to chuckle softly, a breathy sound, wrapped in the noise of the cat running past. It was barely noticeable, yet crystal clear to those listening on headphones.
Bullet comments:
“Was that the cameraman laughing?”
“That breathy laugh is killing me!!!”
“Speaker users are confused. Who laughed?”
Those who hadn’t heard it scrolled through the comments and couldn’t help but rewind. Sure enough, as Fondant chased the ball away, they heard a soft laugh, feather-light against their eardrums, sending a tingling shiver down their spines.
That gentle, breathy laugh was filled with warmth, inexplicably giving netizens a sense of doting affection.
But soon, everyone’s attention returned to the cat, as someone began to lavish attention upon the aloof Yun Chao.
Netizens watching through their screens bit their fingers in envy: Ahhhh, does it feel amazing to pet her? Let me do it, ahhhh!
This extremely aloof fairy showed no objection to the approaching girls, allowing pairs of small hands to stroke her satin-soft fur, displaying a surprisingly good temper.
Yun Chao seemed to thoroughly enjoy being surrounded by the girls, lying on her side and even lifting her head to let them stroke her chin, her fluffy tail gently tapping against the carpet.
Bullet comments:
“Huh? I thought Yun Chao was harder to approach, the kind of super aloof cat.”
“Seems like the little fairy is quite gentle, almost like she can be petted freely. It’s not what I imagined.”
“Awsl! I’m totally here for this gorgeous little fairy!”
Then, among the group of girls, a young man slipped in, reached out, pressed Yun Chao’s head, and gave the dignified little fairy a thorough petting from head to tail.
Netizens: “??”
Hey, hey, hey! That’s not the right technique! Do you pet your cat at home like that, too? Don’t you get scratched?
The lazy Yun Chao slowly turned her head. Upon seeing the person behind her, her heterochromatic eyes widened slightly, her exquisitely beautiful face showing unmistakable astonishment.
Pink subtitles flashed a bold line: A man?!
Netizens in front of their screens burst into goose-like laughter: I can’t—this expression is so human-like. The disdain is way too obvious!
The young man in the video, unaware, reached out a second time.
Yun Chao suddenly reacted, swatting his hand away with her tail before turning and burying herself in a young woman’s arms without looking back.
Subtitles: I only want little girls!
The stark contrast was hilarious. She showed no mercy.
Beautiful yet fierce, and fierce with just the right measure.
Bullet comments:
“Yun Chao: Suddenly turns hostile.jpg.”
“LOL. This guy has no idea what he did wrong.”
“The cats at this cat cafe are so agile. That one just darted past me, and I didn’t even react in time!”
“I have a feeling this is going to become the second iconic moment at Xian Chan’s. Hahaha.”
Yun Chao’s attitude changed so abruptly, creating a stark contrast that instantly amused a wave of viewers. The moment she turned hostile, the barrage of comments surged, flooding the screen with “favoring girls over boys” and “hahaha”.
In the comment section, some cat cafe customers also shared their experiences:
Staying Up Late Without Going Bald: It’s true. My girlfriend and I are both die-hard fans of the cat cafe. My girlfriend can pet Yun Chao, but I can’t even touch a single hair. She won’t even spare me a glance. I didn’t think much of it before and assumed I just wasn’t a cat magnet. But now, looking back, Yun Chao was probably just disdainful of me. She really doesn’t let men touch her!
This comment quickly rose to the top, with many customers chiming in below:
“Come to think of it, it’s true. My girlfriend can pet her, but I can’t.”
“Same here. I thought it was a coincidence, but now… It’s tough.”
“You guys actually have girlfriends!”
…
As fans predicted, this video quickly went viral in the pet community, much like the leopard cat’s “bad guy” video. Even if regulars in the pet community didn’t know about the new UP named Xian Chan Cat Cafe, they were now familiar with Tong Qian, the leopard cat who loves to dance, and Yun Chao, the lion cat who “favors girls over boys” and only lets women touch her.
Curious viewers who clicked on the video decided to check out the UP’s profile and were surprised to discover that the once-trending leopard cat video in the pet community was also posted by this account!
Wow! Look what they found. A treasure of a UP with only four levels, even lower than theirs! Time to shower it with love!
With the popularity of Tong Qian and Yun Chao’s videos, Xian Chan’s follower count surged by nearly a thousand per day. It was a staggering growth rate for a new UP in the pet community.
Within just a few days of posting the video, the cat cafe gained three to four thousand new followers, and the video was successfully featured in Bishui Station’s “Must-Watch This Week”, causing its view count to skyrocket.
By this point, Xian Chan Cat Cafe had over 80,000 followers, nearly tripling its count in just one week.
…
The two little tortoiseshell cats at the cat cafe were now seven months old. By all accounts, they should have been weaned long ago, but Pei Shiyi indulged the little ones, still feeding them a mix of kitten formula and supplementary food, raising them into plump, round furballs. Not only did these two share the same coat pattern, but they were also equally chubby and nearly identical in size. Spoiled by Pei Shiyi, they’d take a few steps and demand to be carried, fearless of anyone, even daring to climb onto Bo Jin’s shoulders and scramble up to his head.
Tong Qian, the cat most afraid of Bo Jin in the entire cafe, would tremble every time he saw this, nestling delicately against Pei Shiyi, who would scoop him up and stroke him from head to tail.
The two kittens hadn’t been given their formal names yet. Their nicknames were Dai Dai and Mao Mao. Because of their young age and unstable spiritual energy, which made them easily influenced by humans, they were usually kept upstairs except during mealtimes. Occasionally, though, they’d sneak downstairs when no one was looking, drawing crowds of curious customers before being promptly scooped up and carried back upstairs by the staff.
As the saying goes, home flowers aren’t as fragrant as wild ones, and wild flowers aren’t as enticing as those just out of reach. The more forbidden they are, the more customers itch with curiosity. Plus, these twins were truly extraordinary. Cats looking alike isn’t unusual, but having identical markings and size is rare. So even though the twins had never taken customers, anticipation for them never waned.
Today was the day the two little ones would “make their debut”. After six months, their demonic aura had stabilized, allowing them to interact more freely with people. Besides, the cat café was seriously “understaffed”, and no suitable new cats could be found in the short term. Since Pei Shiyi would be at the café as long as it was open, and nothing was likely to go wrong, they simply picked a good day to bring the two kittens downstairs to work alongside their older siblings.
The news of the little tortoiseshells’ debut had been posted on the official website, drawing an unusually large crowd to the café today. As soon as Pei Shiyi went upstairs, customers crowded at the foot of the stairs, phones in hand, waiting for the twins to descend.
“They’re coming down! Ahhh, my precious babies. Let Mama see you!”
“They look exactly the same. So adorable, wuwu.”
“The owner is so handsome, ahhh!”
“Wow! Yun Chao is right by my hand! I want to pet her!”
“The twins are everything! I’m so here for this!”
Pei Shiyi carried the two little ones downstairs, with Dai Dai and Mao Mao nestled in the crooks of his arms, their damp eyes glistening with curiosity as they peered at the customers below.
The waiting customers craned their necks, eagerly raising their phones to snap photos of him and the two cats.
The little tortoiseshells were a bit of a show-off, clinging to Pei Shiyi’s arms on either side, ears perked up, and spiritedly meowing at the people below.
Self-proclaimed cat parents couldn’t help but squeal softly: “I’m dead, I’m dead! How can they be this cute?”
“So lively! I want to ruffle them!”
The older cats of the household had long been waiting downstairs. As soon as Pei Shiyi descended, they swarmed around him, sticking close.
When Pei Shiyi bent down to set the two little tortoiseshells on the cushion, Dan Huang darted over in a flash, carefully guarding them, visibly tense.
The little tortoiseshells tilted their heads and meowed at Dan Huang, scampering around the cushion, occasionally sniffing the edges to catch the customers’ scents. Each time, Yun Chao’s fluffy tail gently nudged them back, afraid they might tumble off.
The café manager, with all the heart of a doting parent, couldn’t get enough of kissing and licking them, sticking close and reluctant to leave even a step away, terrified that some strange adult might whisk his sons away.
His clinginess was so intense that even Yun Chao, who also adored the kittens, couldn’t bear to watch.
At this age, if kittens aren’t afraid of people, they’re at their most playful, curious, and full of milk-fueled energy, eager to pounce on everything. Tong Qian crouched on the cushion, sticking out his paw to playfully swat at Dai Dai. For a cat his size, he seemed to genuinely enjoy frolicking with the kittens.
Fondant leaned against Yun Chao, calling out to the little ones: “Meow—” Come down and play, I’ll take you to play with the ball.
Song Gao, still small, was gently shielded by Yun Chao’s tail. In terms of size, he wasn’t much bigger than the two little tortoiseshells. When they huddled together, they almost looked like siblings from the same litter.
A fluffy pile of cats, each with unique markings and sizes, crowded together under the sunlight. The older cats indulged the younger ones, never getting angry even when pounced on for their tails, instead softening their playful nudges.
Amidst the customers’ exclamations of “So adorable!”, “Aww, baby kittens are truly the best thing in the world”, and “The shop owner is too gentle!”, Danhuang couldn’t help but proudly flick the tip of his tail. He knew it all along. Humans were bound to fall for the charm of the twins. After all, these were classic tortoiseshell kittens, the kind you might not even find elsewhere, so irresistibly cute.
Pei Shiyi, holding his phone, couldn’t resist snapping several photos just like the other customers. He flipped through them repeatedly, unable to put them down. He casually sent a few to Bo Jin, who had just returned to the Supernatural Management Bureau.
Bo Jin, who had just arrived at the bureau with Zhu Heng and Zhen Zhizhang in tow, heard his phone chime. He took it out to find a message from Pei Shiyi.
Rare Animal: My son and my daughter.

Bo Jin: “…”
He lowered his gaze, his fingers swiftly tapping across the screen.
Zhulong: Song Gao is my son, thank you.
After a moment of silence on the other end, a reply came through.
Rare Animal: You’re being too formal. No need to be so polite with me.
Even Bo Jin, a man of vast experience and thick skin himself, couldn’t help but marvel at this.
Truly shameless.
If you enjoy my works and would like to support me, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi. Thank you for your support.
