After bringing the cat home, Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei researched and asked the program team to buy a bunch of things.
While waiting for the items, Mu Zhengqing couldn't help but smile as he looked at the cat. However, after a while, he suddenly remembered something.
"Are you allergic to cat hair?" Mu Zhengqing asked Lu Yiwei nervously.
If Lu Yiwei was allergic to cat hair, he would temporarily give the cat to Gu Da and pick it up after the variety show was finished.
Although he really liked the cat, it was on the condition that he and Lu Yiwei could get along. Living with someone else, he still needed to be self-aware.
"No, if I were allergic to cat hair, I wouldn't have let you bring him back," Lu Yiwei didn't know why Mu Zhengqing would suspect him of being allergic to cat hair, but he still explained seriously.
"That's good. Seeing how you just watched me pet the cat last time without trying it yourself, I thought you were allergic to cat hair." Mu Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yiwei hadn't expected Mu Zhengqing to remember this, and his heart was filled with joy.
"Shall we give it a name?" Lu Yiwei asked.
"Sure, you can name it," Mu Zhengqing said, holding the cat.
If Lu Yiwei hadn't mentioned it, he hadn't planned to adopt the cat right away, worried that he wouldn't have enough time to spend with it.
But the moment he held it, he had no intention of sending it back. He would try to make time for it in the future. He had already experienced the joy of petting a cat, and as a thank you to Lu Yiwei, he decided to let Lu Yiwei name it.
Lu Yiwei didn't refuse and said the name he had already thought of: "How about the name Mulu?" [目錄 (mù lù): directory, catalog]
"Why that name?" Mu Zhengqing asked, puzzled. It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with the name, he was just curious.
"Mulu is a combination of our surnames," Lu Yiwei explained.
Although he showed no signs of nervousness on the surface, he was actually incredibly anxious. He didn't know if Mu Zhengqing would be willing to combine their surnames for the cat's name.
"Okay, from now on, you'll be called Mulu." Mu Zhengqing happily said, holding the newly named cat.
The viewers in the live stream: "Did we guess wrong? They don't look like they just had a fight last night. But if they didn't fight, what were they doing in the bedroom last night?"
"Forget it, why think so much? Let's welcome our little Mulu."
Just when there was a slight hint of shipping them, the viewers were immediately drawn to little Mulu.
Although Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei's fans didn't like each other, they reached a consensus on Mulu. Mulu would be their little treasure from now on.
Cloud cat-raising begins.
Seeing Mu Zhengqing so happy, Lu Yiwei was also happy, but soon he wasn't. For a whole hour, Mu Zhengqing didn't look at him once, and kept his attention on Mulu. Although it was a bit embarrassing to be jealous of a cat, he really wished he was a cat. He wanted to cuddle with Mu Zhengqing too.
"Let it get used to the new environment," Lu Yiwei couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Mu Zhengqing thought it made sense and started introducing the layout of the house to Mulu.
Not getting what he wanted, Lu Yiwei continued, "Aren't you tired of holding it? Let me hold it for a while."
"No, I'm not tired," Mu Zhengqing said, hugging Mulu closer. He understood what it meant to cherish something so much.
One minute later
Lu Yiwei: "Aren't you tired of holding it? Let me hold it for a while."
Mu Zhengqing: "No, I'm not tired."
Two minutes later
Lu Yiwei: "Aren't you tired of holding him? Let me hold him for a while."
Mu Zhengqing: "No, I'm not tired."
Three minutes later
Lu Yiwei: "Aren't you tired of..."
"Do you want to hold Mulu?" Finally realizing, Mu Zhengqing interrupted Lu Yiwei.
Seeing Lu Yiwei nod, Mu Zhengqing placed Mulu in Lu Yiwei's arms. He had been negligent. He had only been thinking about his own comfort and had forgotten about Lu Yiwei.
That's right, if Lu Yiwei didn't like Mulu, why would he let Mu Zhengqing bring Mulu home? Why would he let Mulu's name include his surname? Why would he keep looking at Mulu in Mu Zhengqing's arms?
Mulu: He doesn't like me, he's just jealous of me.
After Mulu was in Lu Yiwei's arms, it struggled a bit at first, but soon succumbed to Lu Yiwei's massage.
Seeing Lu Yiwei petting a cat for the first time, Mu Zhengqing felt a little itchy. He wasn't itchy because he wanted to pet the cat, but because he remembered Lu Yiwei's massage. Although it was only once, it was unforgettable. I wonder if I can trade Mulu for a massage.
Soon, the program team delivered the items. Mu Zhengqing was about to transfer the money to the program team, but unexpectedly, Lu Yiwei transferred the money first.
"I'll transfer the money to you," Mu Zhengqing said, opening Lu Yiwei's WeChat.
"No need to transfer the money to me. Actually, I want to discuss something with you," Lu Yiwei said.
"What's up?" Mu Zhengqing asked.
"Can I be Mulu's dad?" Lu Yiwei asked Mu Zhengqing with a serious expression.
"If you're its dad, then what am I?" Mu Zhengqing didn't expect Lu Yiwei to say that, and asked foolishly.
"You're Mulu's father," Lu Yiwei replied.
[爸爸 (bàba): dad, informal term for father; 父親 (fùqīn): father; a formal term]
"If you don't like the title 'father', we can switch. I'll be Mulu's father and you can be its dad," seeing that Mu Zhengqing was about to refuse, Lu Yiwei quickly continued.
"No, I prefer being its father." Mu Zhengqing immediately refused. "Father" sounds more formal.
"Okay, that's settled. You're Mulu's father, and I'm Mulu's dad." Lu Yiwei said hurriedly.
A moment later, Mu Zhengqing realised that he seemed to have been tricked by Lu Yiwei. What he was about to say was that he could be Mulu's uncle, but not its father. But it was too late, Lu Yiwei had already been calling himself 'dad' to the Mulu for half a day.
The rest of the time, the two of them were either helping the Mulu settle in or helping it get familiar with its toys.
Until ten o'clock at night, the production team informed them that they had won first place today.
Hearing that they had won first place, Mu Zhengqing expectantly asked the production team what the reward was this time.
He originally thought that the reward the production team mentioned would be the same, but he found out last night that the reward the production team mentioned was actually different.
The first day's reward was to turn off the live stream for two hours, while yesterday's first-place prize was changed to providing a sumptuous breakfast today.
The difference in these rewards was significant.
Who would have thought that the production team would tell them that all four teams were first place today, so after discussion, the production team decided neither to reward nor to punish them.
Well, it seems that getting up early is something that no one wants to try.
Although he didn't get a reward, Mu Zhengqing was still very happy. After all, the Mulu was the best reward he could ask for today.
