Chapter 11 Social Media Debut

The sunlight filtered down gently, and the air was filled with the unique fresh scent of spring. Everything was just perfect. The moment Leon posted on Weibo, the time froze at 8:20 a.m.Office workers on their way to work and students sitting in classrooms, preparing for class, all took out their phones simultaneously when the special - attention notification rang. After seeing Leon's new Weibo post, everyone's eyes widened, filled with astonishment and curiosity."Goodness! My male god has proven that he doesn't have a girlfriend, but when on earth did he get this cat?""Ah, this cat is so cute! It's soft and chubby. What breed is it? I really want to get one too.""I don't know why, but I'm actually jealous of a cat. It gets to be raised by my male god. Without further ado, I'm going to get a cat of the same breed as my male god's.""Goodness, this cat is so adorable. It's all fluffy, and it must feel so nice to touch. But the question is, when did my male god start liking cats? How come none of his countless fans knew about it?""Mommy, I can't take it anymore. I feel like I'm going to be melted by this cat. Its eyes are so cute, and its whole body is just too adorable. I just searched on Baidu, and it seems to be a Napoleon shorthair. It's simply too cute."Leon's Weibo post was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples and attracting a lot of attention. Several actors who had a close personal relationship with him couldn't help but repost it, and their words were full of love for the cat.Yang Chengnan V: I've witnessed firsthand how much Leon dotes on this cat. \\ Leon V: I'm not keeping a person, but I've recently adopted a cat.

[Photo] [Photo] [Photo].For a while, people both inside and outside the industry reposted it one after another. Everyone was unsparing in expressing their love for the cat and hoped that Leon would share more photos of the cat in the future.Leon scrolled through Weibo for a while. Looking at everyone's praise for the cat, he couldn't help but look down at the little guy sitting beside him in the back seat. He reached out and gently pinched the cat's head. When he met the kitten's clear and bright eyes, Leon had to admit that the netizens were right. Just looking into these eyes could instantly soften one's heart, as if melted by an invisible force.The charm of appearance was vividly demonstrated in this cat. It effortlessly attracted a large number of people's attention just with its cute appearance.Sophie leaned comfortably against Leon, lying on his lap and enjoying the warm sunshine to her heart's content."Task completed. Five points rewarded." The voice of the short - legged cat system rang in Sophie's mind.Sophie was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Thank you, thank you. I have ten points now. You can give me more five - point tasks. I'm sure I can complete them quickly."The system was silent for a moment and then asked, "Just how eager are you to turn back into a human?""Very, very eager." Sophie's answer was decisive.The system was momentarily at a loss for words. After a while, it said, "Well, don't complain about the task being too difficult later.""Of course not." Sophie was full of confidence.The short - legged cat system chuckled, but the laughter seemed extremely eerie to Sophie. Her heart tightened, and she asked cautiously, "You're not going to... come up with some tricky tasks, are you?"The system replied coldly, "The higher the score, the more difficult the task. That's only natural."Sophie pursed her lips and silently decided to be indifferent to this unreliable system. "What's the next task?""Not sure yet.""Didn't you say there would be a next task as soon as I completed this one? How come you don't know?" Sophie was full of doubts.The system rolled its eyes in its heart and said impatiently, "It takes time for me to receive the tasks issued by the higher - ups, you know."Sophie muttered in a low voice, "You just make up the tasks randomly. Stop making excuses."The short - legged cat system immediately flew into a rage, "Shut up. The next task is here."Sophie immediately became serious, "Go ahead.""Get ten people to hold you within today."Sophie was taken aback and asked, "… How many points?""Two points.""Okay."Sophie thought to herself that if it was yesterday, she might have thought this task was extremely difficult. But today was different. After all, Leon had taken her out. There were surely at least ten people at the workplace. Moreover, Leon and Benny had already held her. Now she only needed to find eight more people.After accepting the task, the system disappeared. Sophie lay peacefully on Leon's lap, looking at the scenery passing by rapidly outside the window. Outside the car, the scenery was pleasant, with green trees and lush grass, everywhere brimming with the vitality and energy of late spring. She couldn't help but sigh. Why hadn't she noticed how charming the city's scenery was before? She really wanted to get out of the car and take a walk, step on the fallen leaves on the red stone slabs, and feel the beauty of nature.In the car, the soothing music flowed slowly. As she watched, Sophie's eyes suddenly became slightly sour, and an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart. She really wanted to cry. She missed the days when she was still human so much, missed those familiar life scenes, and missed the happiness that she had once taken for granted.Leon seemed to sense the cat's low mood. His hand kept gently stroking the cat's body, as if silently comforting her. Benny saw this scene through the rear - view mirror and secretly clicked his tongue. Leon really doted on his cat.Hai'an Building.Leon and Benny got out of the car together, and Benny carried Sophie into the building. Today, Leon had an advertisement promotional video to reshoot several shots. There were people coming and going here, and it was very lively. As soon as they entered, a staff member led them upstairs.The elevator stopped on the eighth floor. Leon nodded slightly and followed the staff member to the other side. As soon as he entered the shooting site, Sophie was stunned by the scene in front of her. This was the first time she had come to such a shooting scene. The staff inside were busy arranging the shooting background. When Leon arrived, the director rushed up and greeted him warmly."You're here."Leon nodded in response and asked, "Which shot needs to be reshot?"The director said with a bit of apology, "Actually, your performance in that shot was excellent, but there were some big problems with the props. We tried to adjust it several times, but it still didn't feel quite right. So we still have to trouble you to come and shoot it again."Leon readily agreed, "Okay, no problem.""Go and do your makeup with Xiao Li first." The director pointed to a staff member beside him."Okay." Leon responded and then turned to Benny and told him, "Watch the cat."Benny opened his mouth and finally reluctantly said, "Okay."After Leon's figure disappeared from the hall, Sophie began to look around curiously. There were quite a few people inside, about a dozen or so, all busy with their own things. She struggled restlessly in Benny's arms, wanting to get down.Benny looked at the surrounding environment and thought it would be okay to let her down. Just then, another staff member came to find him. He gently tapped the cat's head and told her, "Don't run around." Then he handed the cat to a cute - looking female staff member beside him, "Please take care of this cat."This girl was also a fan of Leon. Since the moment she saw the cat, her eyes had been shining with excitement. At this time, she couldn't help but ask, "Is this the cat on Leon's Weibo?"Benny smiled and replied, "Yes. Keep an eye on it. Come to me if there's any problem."The girl nodded quickly, "Okay, don't worry."After Benny left, Sophie looked up at the girl squatting in front of her. After a little thought, she directly reached out her paw and held the girl's hand. The girl was overjoyed and quickly took out her phone to take pictures of Sophie. In order to complete the task, Sophie could only cooperate obediently. She stretched out her paw, indicating that the girl should hold her.As expected, her efforts paid off. Soon, the girl carried Sophie to a crowded place. As soon as they arrived, almost everyone's attention was attracted.People talked about it one after another."Is this Leon's cat? I saw it on the Internet just now. It's so cute.""Yeah, my god. Let me hold it. It's our male god's cat.""I want to hold it too, to get some of the cat's good luck.""Is it okay for me to take pictures of the cat?""I don't know. I took pictures just now.""Then let's take a few."In less than half an hour, Sophie had been held by ten people, and nine of them took out their phones to take pictures of her. She felt like she was almost blinded by the flash. When she was held back in the arms of the short - haired girl who had held her first, Sophie struggled to get down. Her task was completed, and she really didn't want to be pinched and photographed anymore."Meow." Sophie meowed softly. Just as she was struggling to get down, a girl suddenly squeezed over."Hey, why is there a cat here?" She stretched out her finger and poked Sophie's head. Sophie watched as the long red fingernail pass her head, and her heart trembled with fear.The next second, this girl reached out to hold her. Sophie was so scared that she quickly turned her head and burrowed into the arms of the short - haired girl who had held her first."She probably doesn't want you to hold her." The short - haired girl said."How could that be? This cat looks quite cute.""Of course. It's Leon's cat. How could it not be cute?"The girl's eyes lit up, and she pointed at Sophie in surprise, "Leon's cat?" Her voice suddenly became much louder, and the eyes of the people around turned around. After taking a look, they turned back."Yeah, Leon's cat."The girl became even more excited, "Then I have to hold it even more." As she said that, she forcefully took Sophie into her arms without asking. Sophie struggled desperately to get down, but the girl's way of holding her was very uncomfortable, and she used a lot of strength. Sophie was furious and even wanted to bite, but then she remembered that Leon had told her not to bite people randomly, so she could only endure it.She could only let the girl pinch her neck casually, and sometimes tug at the fur on her body. Even the whiskers on her face were gently pulled. Sophie felt like she was on the verge of collapse. She was really extremely uncomfortable.Just then, several figures walked over not far away. Sophie's eyes lit up, and she saw Leon walking towards her. He was made up and wearing the shooting clothes. He stood tall and straight, looking extremely handsome. Sophie struggled to get down from the girl's lap. As soon as she moved, the girl forcefully grabbed her hind leg, and even pulled the fur on Sophie's leg.Sophie winced in pain and let out a "Woo - woo" sound, looking at Leon with a pained expression."Meow.""Meow, meow..." Sophie meowed several times in a row. Leon turned his head and looked over. When he saw the pained expression on Sophie's face, his face instantly darkened, and he walked quickly towards them.Leon stared intently at his cat and softened his voice a bit, "What's wrong?"Sophie looked up at him pitifully and stretched out her paw.Leon's eyes fell on the red mark on Sophie's leg. His face changed suddenly. He looked up at the girl again, and his eyes were full of sharpness and anger, "What did you do to my cat?"
