The Flower Of The High Mountain Turns Into A Cat And Is Picked Up By A Human Chapter 12

“Brother Zheng, do you really like cats?”

Heng Yuze changed the subject, worried that the cat might become embarrassed and angry.

Zheng Lang’s voice was loud enough.

“I do like them!”

His volume then gradually lowered, tinged with melancholy.

“But animals don’t seem to like me very much.”

It was true that some people simply lacked animal affinity. They might encounter a cat on the road, intend to pet it, but the moment they reached out, the cat would run away.

Heng Yuze assumed Zheng Lang was one of those people and expressed his understanding.

He was a man of few words, and the car was too quiet. Zheng Lang took advantage of a stoplight to find a soothing playlist and turned the music down low.

The music, flowing like spring water, was completely different from the high-energy, local style of his live streams.

Heng Yuze glanced over. The playlist was titled “Compromise No. 3.”

The drive to Xiangxing Town was estimated to take two days.

The SUV traveled down the road, heading toward the distant light.

Heng Yuze adjusted his position so that the cat could always bask in the sunlight.

Accompanied by the gentle music, Bai Chendeng peered out the window at the passing scenery. Sleepiness soon overcame him, and he leaned against the man’s chest and drifted off.

“He’s so well-behaved, not noisy or fussy.”

Heng Yuze spoke softly, afraid of waking Chendeng.

“Chendeng is always like this.”

Zheng Lang was envious but kept silent.

“Alright, let’s try to reach Linhua today. I heard there’s a clay pot chicken there that’s especially delicious. Let’s go try it.”

After five hours of driving, Zheng Lang was motivated by the thought of food. His mind was filled with the soft, tender, and flavorful clay pot chicken described by his fans. He occasionally checked the rearview mirror, glancing at the dazzling white cat, which seemed to glow in the sunlight. Relying on his healthy bladder and excellent driving skills, he drove straight to Linhua.

Upon entering Linhua, Zheng Lang parked the car, retrieved his streaming equipment, and called out, “Little Brother Heng, I’m going live now.”

“Okay.”

Zheng Lang held up the camera pole, pointing the lens at himself. The background was an ordinary street scene, giving the broadcast a very down-to-earth feel. Viewers quickly flooded the live stream, as if his fans lived online.

Brother Zheng is live! My source of happiness is back!

Not in the car today, what delicious food are we eating, haha?

Ten thousand people demand a midnight exploration!

“I’m live, hello everyone, hello.”

“Today, our live stream welcomes two special guests. You absolutely won’t guess who.”

Who? A beautiful female streamer? (drool.jpg)

How could Old Zheng partner with a beautiful streamer? Maybe a paranormal streamer, hahaha?

I don’t know, I don’t want to guess. Hurry up and serve the content!

“Your imaginations are too limited.”

A man holding a selfie stick was quite conspicuous, drawing the attention of passersby. Fortunately, he had a fierce appearance and was only popular in specific niches, so he didn’t attract excessive attention.

Heng Yuze was different: tall, lean, long-legged, fair-skinned, and handsome, holding a cat. Combined with the filming equipment held by Zheng Lang walking ahead, it was like he had several layers of buffs, making people incredibly curious.

No longer keeping them in suspense, Zheng Lang, afraid his fans might guess something more sensitive than a bandit or a Daoist priest, revealed the answer directly.

“Alright, alright, stop guessing. Look closely, I’m collaborating with a famous big streamer this time!”

He adjusted the camera to bring Heng Yuze into the frame.

Although the image wasn’t perfectly clear and was taken from a distance, his striking good looks still made people’s eyes light up.

Handsome guy!

Who is that?

Wait, he looks familiar!

Zheng Lang deliberately shook the screen, preventing them from getting a clear look at Heng Yuze’s face. Only when he moved closer to Heng Yuze did he put one hand on the man’s shoulder, holding the equipment steadily, and said with a smile, “How about that? I didn’t lie to you.”

Ahhh, the Chef!!!

Dream collaboration!

Double fandom joy!

So handsome!

The screen full of exclamation points was enough to show the powerful impact these two together had on the audience.

Heng Yuze had always disliked collaborations. His recorded videos were always shot in an indoor kitchen, and his usual live streams focused on casual chatting and gaming, having nothing to do with travel or going out.

Zheng Lang, on the other hand, was never idle. Every day, he drove his SUV—which he called a man’s romance—traveling through different cities, exploring different foods in different locations, attracting a group of fans who longed for a life of freedom.

How did these two people with such different styles end up together?!

Heng Yuze had recently gone viral several times because of Chendeng. Even many of Zheng Lang’s fans recognized him and knew he had a cat that was both cultured and capable.

The one who owns the cat?

Is that the cat that knows how to use combos?

666 Old Zheng is doing well, actually collaborating with a big streamer.

Where is Chendeng? Is the cat there?

He’s there, holding the cat in his arms.

“My family is very enthusiastic! That’s right, I’m streaming with Little Brother Heng today.”

Heng Yuze was an experienced streamer. He greeted them calmly and steadily. His voice wasn’t loud but was highly recognizable.

“Hello everyone, I’m the Unorthodox Chef.”

Haha Little Brother Heng

Hello, Chef, I want to see the cat (cat cute.jpg)

I thought he was using a filter before, but now that he’s in the same frame as Old Zheng, his looks are simply flawless!

Zheng Lang spotted that colored bullet comment and complained like a tough guy: “What do you mean, being in the same frame as me makes Little Brother Heng look especially handsome?”

Old Zheng is the most handsome! (fifty cents per comment)

Old Zheng is more handsome than Little Brother Heng! (Remember to delete the parentheses)

Please, I beg you, let me see Chendeng, I’ll do anything!

Little Brother Heng, what are you holding in your arms?!

Heng Yuze glanced at the comments. Seeing that many people wanted to see Chendeng, he brought the sleeping cat in his arms closer to the screen.

Zheng Lang held the selfie stick, not daring to get too close.

Oh, that adorable sleeping face

Little Brother Heng holds the cat so professionally

I kiss, I kiss

Awsl, for a moment I don’t know who to be jealous of

Holding the pole like that was a bit awkward for Zheng Lang. After a while, he tried moving slightly closer. Seeing that the cat had no special reaction and wasn’t startled awake by him, he was pleasantly surprised.

The live stream’s popularity surged. Zheng Lang quickly continued walking with Heng Yuze, returning to his usual streaming style.

“Today, we’re here to eat a clay pot chicken recommended by my family of fans. I heard the meat is soft, tender, flavorful, fragrant, and not greasy. As a semi-food blogger, I’m dedicated, aren’t I?”

As Zheng Lang spoke, he looked up. At the end of the road, the sign for the clay pot chicken restaurant was clearly visible, faded by the sun.

The restaurant had a courtyard with several tables set up inside.

As soon as Zheng Lang led them through the gate, the owner of the clay pot chicken place enthusiastically greeted them.

Both men had loud voices. Before they had exchanged many words, the owner recognized that one of them was a somewhat famous streamer and insisted they try his signature dish: clay pot free-range chicken, first stir-fried and then braised.

Zheng Lang readily agreed.

“Good, good, good.”

Only then did the owner notice the young man standing behind Zheng Lang who hadn’t spoken, holding a cat in his arms. Just as he was about to ask if the cat needed special accommodation, he felt the cat looked particularly familiar. Then he felt that the handsome young man also looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

“You… you are that, that…!”

There were other customers in the courtyard, originally focused on their meals. Because the owner’s greeting was so loud, they naturally looked up at the new customers and discovered a surprise.

“What a handsome young man, he looks like a streamer!”

“Someone is holding a selfie stick, they seem to be live streaming!”

Zheng Lang quickly waved his hand: “Don’t worry, don’t worry, I absolutely won’t record any of your faces!”

The customers could tell from the selfie stick that they weren’t being recorded, but they continued to discuss.

“He’s holding a cat!”

“That cat looks expensive. Its fur is so long and white, and not curly at all. What breed is it?”

Amidst the customers’ curiosity and the owner’s excitement, Heng Yuze sat down, holding Bai Chendeng.

Zheng Lang chatted with the live stream audience while casually greeting the surrounding customers.

In just a few words, Zheng Lang’s cheerful personality bridged the distance between himself and the people around him.

So, a customer boldly asked, “The young man is holding a cat. This cat sleeps a lot, but why does it look familiar?”

“I feel it too. It’s really so white, it feels completely different from other cats.”

Heng Yuze felt Chendeng stir slightly in his arms.

Hiss—

Chendeng wouldn’t be angry, would he?

When Bai Chendeng woke up, he first smelled the heavy aroma of spices, followed by a cacophony of noise, and people saying things like, “What a lazy cat.”

He raised his head, stood on the arm Heng Yuze was supporting him with, and surveyed the surroundings, roughly guessing the reason.

He needed to enter a state of deep sleep during this period to practice a certain technique. Normally, his vigilance was very high; otherwise, how could something like this have happened?

Once Bai Chendeng moved, the customers’ attention was drawn to him.

“He moved, he moved!”

“The cat is awake!”

“This cat is really beautiful. You can tell he’s well-cared for just by looking.”

“The more I look, the more familiar he seems…”

As the white cat unreservedly climbed onto Heng Yuze’s shoulder, appearing before everyone, the guests clearly realized that this cat was not just beautiful, but familiar—too familiar!

“Is that Chendeng?”

“He looks like the internet celebrity cat…”

“Is that Chendeng? I just watched his video yesterday!”

“Isn’t that man the popular blogger who streams with Chendeng?”

“That’s right, it’s Chendeng!”

The owner made the final judgment, staring intently at the cat. His usually booming voice suddenly changed, softening as he spoke to the white cat: “Oh my, you are truly beautiful.”

Heng Yuze stroked Chendeng’s back, his expression softening as he watched the cat attract everyone’s attention just by showing its face.

Seeing the internet celebrity cat, the customers were excited. Some even left their seats, wanting to get closer to see the cat.

The owner was familiar with these regular customers and quickly calmed them down.

“Brothers and sisters, don’t get too excited. Let’s not scare the cat. Observe the cat civilly! Today, my treat, I’ll bring a pot of our signature pear juice to every table. I hope everyone enjoys their meal and drinks!”

With that, the owner instructed the staff to watch the courtyard and went to the back kitchen to personally prepare a batch of his signature clay pot chicken!

Zheng Lang also spoke loudly to the people around him: “Brothers and sisters, this is Little Brother Heng’s first time bringing the cat out to stream. Let’s give him some face and not scare the cat, haha.”

When he spoke seriously, the customers finally glimpsed a hint of the man’s formidable nature beneath his smiling expression.

Having started streaming a few years ago and traveling across the country in his SUV, it was impossible that Zheng Lang hadn’t encountered danger.

Zheng Lang was solidly built and surprisingly strong. When he didn’t smile, he could scare children into tears, and even adult men would pause to consider if they had somehow offended him. He had a fierce look.

Consequently, the customers suddenly became very compliant and easy to talk to, showing a stark contrast between their initial excitement and their current respect, which amazed the restaurant staff.

After a while, the owner finally brought out a large clay pot. Seeing the harmonious atmosphere in the courtyard—everyone rationally observing the cat and communicating with a bit more “elegance”—he secretly gave the staff a thumbs-up.

The staff: “…”

This really had nothing to do with him!
