Such a title is utterly indecent! Is this the degradation of morality or the distortion of human nature?
Fans lamented with pained hearts while “tearfully” clicking on the video. Oh, I wonder if the boss has abs. Even if he doesn’t, it’s fine as long as the boss is good-looking.
The video opened with a wash of flaxen color. It wasn’t until the camera zoomed out that fans realized the boss was wearing a flax-colored top today, seemingly a comfortable, loose-fitting home outfit.
Behind him, the small bathroom was packed with cats, leaving almost no room to step. Fans were stunned: Could it be that he’s going to bathe all the cats? That would definitely be a battle of the century.
The boss greeted the camera: “Today, I’ll be bathing Yun Chao and Tong Qian. I’ll also try out the new bath set sent by Happy Pets. It’s kind of a review—this set here. Their classic set has been in use at the cat café all along.” He lifted the bath set and held it in front of the camera.
The packaging of the bath set was matcha green, without any flashy patterns. It was fresh and simple, quite similar to Xian Chan’s style.
Fans quickly caught on, flooding the comments: “Oh, oh, finally a sponsored ad!” “Let him take it, let him take it!” “Promise me, after this, you’ll upload more, okay?”
The cat café boss continued, “I’ll be bathing two cats today, so I’ve asked my friend to help.”
With that, the camera tilted. The man who had been used as a pillow by Song Gao in previous videos appeared on screen, still with that strikingly handsome face.
Then the camera lowered, seemingly placed on some kind of stand, successfully capturing two water-filled basins and two large cats.
Yun Chao didn’t seem afraid of water at all, squatting by the basin and testing the water temperature with a furry paw. The cat café boss placed a towel in the basin, and Yun Chao stepped right in.
As soon as the big fluffy ball entered the basin, it instantly shrank by half. She usually looked like an astonishingly large cat. But once wet, it became clear she was “fluffily plump”.
For a moment, the explosive title was forgotten as the focus shifted entirely to Yun Chao:
“Hahaha. Even the little fairy has her day. Hahahaha.”
“I always thought Yun Chao was huge, but I never expected her to be so slim.”
“Ahhh. Even when wet, Yun Chao is so beautiful. That little face is just too adorable.”
“Lemon fruit under the lemon tree. I’m so jealous! My cat dashes around the bathroom as soon as she enters, not letting anyone touch her. Yet Yun Chao actually steps into the water basin willingly.”
When the boss started bathing the cat, the comments flooded with lemon emojis. The envy practically overflowed from the screen. Yun Chao usually looks so aloof and fierce, so why is she so well-behaved during bath time? Not struggling at all, her little face snuggled tightly against the boss’s arm. When the boss said it was time to wash her paws, she’d willingly place them in his hand.
The boss even “chatted” with Yun Chao, earnestly translating her meows:
“Our Yun Chao says the bath wash smells nice, not overpowering at all.”
“Happy Pets’ set is for softening fur. Our Yun Chao has such beautiful long hair, so we need to take extra care of it. Right?”
“Meow.”
“Our little fairy says I’m right.”
…
Yun Chao was very well-behaved during her bath, finishing up in no time. The shop owner half-carried him, saying, “Cats don’t like water. When bathing a cat, you have to adjust to their temperament. Don’t fill the tub too much. Too deep and they’ll feel insecure… Almost done. After blow-drying, she can go straight to bed.” He glanced at his friend and raised an eyebrow. “Why are you staring at me?”
Meanwhile, the friend silently picked up the dazed Tong Qian. The shop owner casually remarked, “Actually, my cats are pretty well-behaved during baths…”
Just as he spoke, subtitles that had been missing for a while suddenly popped up: “High alert ahead!”
Before the viewers could figure out what the alert was about, Tong Qian let out a yowl and leaped up, landing with a paw that knocked over the water basin, splashing water everywhere.
The shop owner: “…”
The basin, filled to the brim, drenched every cat on the floor. All the cats froze as if under a spell, turning into a chaotic assortment of fluffy balls.
The two adults, standing nearby, got their shirts soaked.
The shop owner was wearing thin, casual clothes at home. The light linen fabric clung to his skin when wet. He stiffly tugged at his collar, revealing a glimpse of skin below his collarbone.
His friend, dressed in a formal white shirt, had his upper body faintly visible through the soaked fabric. With a lean, athletic build and a cool, mature demeanor, he was exactly the type to make girls blush.
The comments exploded instantly:
“The title is here! The shop owner is soaked! Wait, he actually has pecs? And what about the ‘pretty boy’ label? How do you have pecs?”
“Holy cow! I saw the pecs! Can the V-neck go any lower?”
“The shop owner’s friend has an amazing figure, doesn’t he? The wet white shirt makes everything so clear. Those abs and pecs… I’m sold! I’m totally sold!”
“Brutal reality check. So much for ‘well-behaved’, does the shop owner’s face hurt?”
“LMAO. These silly cats were just watching the show and got drenched, too. Tong Qian’s daily shenanigans strike again. He’s gonna get ganged up on by the cats after this video, right?”
“Yun Chao, the big boss: death glare.”
In less than a minute, there were too many highlights, and viewers focused on different things. The comments flooded in, overlapping and crashing, creating utter chaos.
Later, during blow-drying and grooming, even though the shop owner was soaked, he prioritized the cats, coaxing them onto the bed before stepping in front of the camera to say goodbye to the viewers.
The video’s shares skyrocketed, reaching tens of thousands overnight as it spread across various social platforms. In the early hours of the morning, a trending topic slowly emerged on Weibo.
Rising hot topic: #Are Men Who Own Cats All Angels?#
Opening the topic, the most popular post was a video shared by a humor blogger named “Daily Joy”. It was a compilation titled “Those Angelic Men Who Own Cats”, lasting three and a half minutes, with Xian Chan Cat Café featured for a minute and a half. The blogger even tagged Xian Chan Cat Café in the post.
The men and cats in the video were undeniably “beautiful”, and their interactions were heartwarmingly adorable, making viewers grin uncontrollably. Watching them was pure enjoyment. One man, in particular, appeared frequently in the clips. Not only did he own stunningly beautiful cats, but he was also irresistibly charming.
Treating cats like children, constantly calling them “our precious”, “my baby”, “sweetheart little princess”—isn’t that a bit too indulgent? And the sight of them getting wet during bath time is just too tempting! The cats are so beautiful, well-behaved, and almost human-like.
And that golden British Shorthair acting all spoiled. Sweetie, are you made of sugar? The fearless “fairy cat” is simply stunning, maintaining its ethereal beauty even during a bath, and it keeps clinging to the owner. Isn’t that just another form of affection?!
Netizens couldn’t decide whether to envy the cats or the people.
The video sparked the interest of many night owls, who eagerly joined the discussion. Those lucky enough to have both cats and partners immediately shared videos or photos from their phones, adding fresh content and fueling the topic’s popularity.
Those without cats or partners, feeling a mix of envy and frustration, left bittersweet comments or reposted adorable pet videos they’d seen before.
However, with the topic gaining so much traction and featuring all kinds of handsome men and beautiful cats, no other videos or photos could compete with the scenes from Xian Chan Cat Café, whether in terms of looks or the heartwarming interactions between humans and cats.
So, as the sun rose in the morning, the hashtag #Are Men Who Own Cats All Angels?# successfully climbed the trending list, securing a prominent spot.
Thanks to their irresistible charm, Boss Pei and the cats from the café managed to break through the noise overnight, attracting a significant number of new followers to the café’s account. Newcomers even found their way to the Bishui account and binge-watched all the previous videos.
Under the latest video, nearly a thousand comments appeared overnight:
“Divine cat café! Everyone here is divine! Pull me up, I can still admire them!”
“I’m here for both the owner and the cats! Let me in!”
“Ahhh, I saw the whole wet fur process! The owner’s partner is so handsome!”
…
Pei Shiyi had no idea what a “hot search” was. When Zhou Yan nervously brought it up, Pei Shiyi was completely baffled: “What hot search?”
Zhou Yan, recalling the title he’d given the video, felt a pang of guilt and avoided eye contact, looking down sheepishly.
Pei Shiyi raised an eyebrow.
Zhou Yan stammered awkwardly, “It’s… about yesterday’s video. A blogger shared it, and then…”
Pei Shiyi wondered if the kid had turned into a timid newlywed overnight.
“What guilty secret are you hiding? Did you gossip about me behind my back?”
Zhou Yan, feeling extremely awkward, spotted Bo Jin passing by and quickly said, “Mr. Bo probably knows about it. Boss, why don’t you ask him? Haha. I’ll go wipe the tables!”
The bold kid tugged at Bo Jin’s sleeve before making a quick escape.
Of course, Zhou Yan couldn’t actually move Bo Jin. But feeling the tug, Bo Jin turned and met Pei Shiyi’s gaze.
Pei Shiyi: “…”
Bo Jin: “Hot search?”
Pei Shiyi avoided his gaze and cleared his throat softly. “Yeah, that… what exactly is a hot search?”
Bo Jin walked over. He took out his phone, opened the Weibo interface, and entered the trending list. Both of them immediately spotted the hashtag related to Xian Chan. It was the only cat-related topic on the entire list.
Pei Shiyi asked curiously, “What does this hot search do?”
Bo Jin explained briefly and clicked into the hashtag.
Pei Shiyi chuckled. “This title… is certainly attention-grabbing.”
He raised his hand, then suddenly remembered that this was Bo Jin’s phone, not his own. But his hand was already extended. Wouldn’t pulling it back make him look guilty? Pei Shiyi fell silent for a moment before calmly saying, “Can I tap in and take a look?”
Bo Jin lowered his eyes. Pei Shiyi’s hand was right in front of him. Bo Jin stared at it for a while before replying, “Mm.”
Pei Shiyi waved his own hand and quickly tapped the screen.
The video was edited interestingly. After watching it once, Pei Shiyi subtly flicked his tail and said, “Their furry kids are pretty cute, too, huh… But my kids are also great, especially adorable.”
Bo Jin went along with his words: “Mm, the most adorable.”
Pei Shiyi immediately feigned modesty: “Oh, I wouldn’t dare claim that.”
Bo Jin: “…” This bird just couldn’t be stroked the right way, or he’d start flying too high.
Pei Shiyi was eager to see how others were praising his furry kids, his curiosity itching fiercely. So he said, “Let’s check the comments section.”
The top comment in the comments section:
Nino Nuo: That scene where they’re bathing the cat… Why does it look so much like two good dads bathing their kid? The atmosphere is warm but also a little weird…
Pei Shiyi: “…”
His expression went blank: Was this comment implying what he thought it was?
How were he and Bo Jin weird?
Pei Shiyi inwardly scoffed: How filthy.
