The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 290 Reunited as a Couple

"Where...where...where are we?"

Pan Hu slowly opened his mouth, his eyes still blurry from just waking up and a hangover. His memories stopped at drinking with Tian Lu, and he had no recollection of anything after that.

"Shouldn't you be asking yourself that? You're the one who brought me here, ugh."

As Cat Tears spoke, she twisted her body and gasped. Yesterday, the big cat, who had suffered a lot, gave him a charming glare.

"It's all your fault! It hurts so much! You were so rough with me yesterday, you didn't know how to be gentle at all! You have to take responsibility, meow!"

Pan Hu remained silent, his eyes, as deep as a still pool, swirling with emotion. The memory of his drunken stupor made it difficult for him to accept reality.

After a long pause, he asked hesitantly in a low voice, "You...you're joking, right?"

Cat Tears stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then clutched her chest with both paws, looking at him with a heartbroken expression, like a girl who had been betrayed.

"Panpan, you've changed. You used to be such a responsible dog. How can you say such hurtful things to a cat?"

Pan Hu remained silent, only getting up and looking down before falling even more silent.

—It seems I really did it, but my mind is completely blank. I did it, but I have no recollection or feeling about it at all…

"Panpan, you're so heartless. We used to be so close, and now that you've done your bidding, you're turning your back on me."

The cat was on the verge of tears, clutching its chest with one paw and propping itself up with the other. Its red eyes shone with sorrow, and its face looked as broken as shattered, translucent porcelain.

Pan Hu's lips twitched, but he still helped the other person up and slowly lay down so that he could lean on him.

The two beasts asked the school for two days off yesterday, and they are not in a hurry to go back now.

The pale sunlight scattered in the early morning was broken by the branches and leaves, and the fallen leaves drifted by leisurely.

Cat Tears pestered Panhu again, spouting some soap opera quotes, but the aloof dog remained unmoved. He had no choice but to give up and, feeling bored, took out his beloved phone.

The game's sound effects blend seamlessly into the tranquil forest, echoing without sounding jarring.

After a long, long time, Pan Hu hesitated and spoke in a low voice, "Don't you... feel awkward?"

"awkward?"

Cat Tears turned his head in surprise, his red twin fur sparkling like jewels. After a moment, he put down his phone and straightened up, his lazy face showing a rare serious expression.

"Panpan".

"Ok?"

Panhu tilted his head slightly.

“We have such a good relationship, we’ve been together for a thousand years, from childhood to adulthood, you’ve taken care of me twice.”

Cat Tears stretched out its paw and forcefully turned Panhu's head. Their eyes met, and the other's face was reflected in its crystal red pupils.

"Even if something unexpected happens, I don't want there to be any gaps in this relationship."

He paused, gazing intently into her blue eyes, which rippled like a pebble dropped into a deep pool.

The autumn wind swept across the silent fallen leaves on the ground, causing the two beasts' fur to flutter. The dappled light, a mixture of light and shadow, shone on their faces, illuminating their eyes.

"If you can accept it, we'll be together. If you can't, I'll pretend nothing happened yesterday. But don't be awkward; I don't want things to turn out like in the script."

Pan Hu's emotions suddenly surged violently, as if a cat had scratched at his heart. His gaze froze, and after a long pause, he finally managed to utter the words that had been stuck in his throat.

"Okay...okay. I accept, Momo."

"That's right."

Cat Tears' solemn expression relaxed, and she immediately slumped back onto Panhu like a lump of mud, her face clearly showing her utter worthlessness.

"You made me so flustered, you have to take responsibility, Panpan!"

Panhu didn't reply, looking up at the brightening sky, his thoughts complicated. Seeing this, Maomao Lei pouted and picked up her phone again.

—I never expected this to happen in such a dramatic way.

Panhu thought.

—And Mao Mao has taken the initiative. How long has it been since I've seen her so serious? I can't remember, 100 years, 1000 years, or is this the first time?

My brain was sluggish from the hangover, my eyes were downcast and darting around, and I felt a complex mix of emotions, like having drunk a cocktail of various feelings...

"Meow!!"

A scream almost pierced her eardrums. Pan Hu's thoughts were interrupted, and she instinctively turned her head to the side. Immediately, a cat cried and wailed, hugging her head and emitting distorted, shrill howls.

"Damn it! Damn it, my hero died! They're calling me AFK and threatening to report me, meow meow meow!!"

Panhu tilted his head expressionlessly, his ears ringing, and the pitiful howl of the cat moo seemed to enter his mind through a barrier.

Okay, his familiar fur is back.

A few days later.

In a corner of the university, two best friends were hiding and whispering about campus gossip. The senior looked mysterious, while the junior stared wide-eyed and covered her mouth.

"Hey, have you heard? The school heartthrob you used to have a crush on is dating his roommate, that super cute hermaphroditic cat."

"Huh?! Really? They're really together? No, wait, I never wanted to date that senior! It was clearly you, senior..."

"Hey, cough cough! Okay, forget about the details, do you still want to hear it?"

"Uh...I want to hear it!"

In the boys' dormitory, Pan Hu, with a dark expression, pushed open his room door. Cat Tears, who was playing games on the bed, was startled and almost dropped his phone in a flurry.

"Meow! Panpan, what are you doing? You scared me!"

Pan Hu didn't answer, but instead stared at him with unfriendly eyes, "Did you spread the news that we're together?"

Cat Tears paused for a moment, then nonchalantly lay back down on the bed, lazily continuing to play on her phone, her tail tip swaying gently.

"Oh, so that's what happened. Panpan is my dog ​​now, of course I want others to know."

"no problem."

Panhu said something first, then his face grew increasingly sour, and he slammed the door shut with his tail with a loud bang.

"But why did you say that I was the one who pursued you back then? And that I fed you and provided you with shelter to please you, that I was a sucker and even performed acrobatics to make you happy?"

He approached step by step, his tone growing colder and his eyes like icy blades.

Cat Tears' calm expression froze, her movements while playing the game faltered, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.

—How did Panpan find out? My friends are all so unreliable!

After a long pause, he chuckled dryly, looked up, his large, watery eyes widening as he met Pan Hu's gaze, trying to deceive him.

"Hey Panpan, what I said was all true, meow~?"

Pan Hu was amused by his anger, staring at him with a half-stern gaze. "Then why didn't you say that you were just a cub back then, and that you deliberately pretended to be stupid and fooled me for a long time?"

"Meow... Well, back then we didn't know if Panpan was good or bad, right?"

"That's not the point."

Pan Hu wasn't buying it at all. He sat on the other side of the bed and coldly stared at the sweating cat-like cat, his mind flashing back to the scene at school that day.

A group of female students hid in a corner of the classroom, pointing and whispering about his back. My keen hearing clearly caught their conversation.

"Have you heard? The school heartthrob is dating his androgynous roommate! Wow! They seem like such a perfect match, I've always shipped them."

"Not only that, I heard it from Big Cat herself, that the school heartthrob was the one who pursued him! She even went so far as to..."

"This is so exciting! The school heartthrob can actually follow the 'shush shush shush' command? Does that mean I can do it too?"

The school heartthrob being talked about remained silent, burying himself in his books, his furry ears folded shut.

……

In the teachers' office, the homeroom teacher looked earnestly at Pan Hu, who had been summoned but was now expressionless.

"Panhu, your teacher knows you and Mao Mao are close, but you can't...sigh—even though Mao Mao is hermaphroditic, you still have to respect his decision about his gender. You...sigh—"

He let out another long sigh, which caused Pan Hu's face in front of him to twitch.

"But thankfully, the result was ultimately good. Your teacher reminds you, however, that you can't do that again in the future."

The homeroom teacher kindly reached out and patted the student's shoulder. Pan Hu opened his mouth several times but ultimately didn't explain, and nodded silently.

"I understand, teacher."

……

How did he spend that day? Having endured constant criticism and ridicule, Pan Hu looked at the cat with increasingly strange, tired eyes.

"Uh... Panpan, don't be angry. Mao Mao was wrong. It was Mao Mao who confessed to Panpan~~~"

Cat Tears tried her best to open her eyes wide, her crystal-red pupils shimmering with water as she stared at the other side. However, this time even her cuteness was useless, and Panhu's expression did not soften at all.

"Oh dear, I really know I was wrong. I'll go out and explain tomorrow!"

The tried-and-true tactic failed, and Cat Tears was a little deflated. She mumbled something under her breath and glanced at her phone, then suddenly turned pale with shock!

"Panpan, Panpan, my hero is dying! Save him! Save him!"

"You still want my help?"

Pan Hu asked calmly, but the frantic cat wouldn't listen and shoved the phone into his paw.

Before he could react, a soft body leaned closer, and an unprecedented sincerity was revealed on the cat's face; her voice trembled, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Panpan, please... save me."

Pan Hu felt a tremor in his heart, as if the most tender part of his heart had been touched.

He could still vividly recall what the kitten looked like when it was a kitten; the little kitten stared at him with its big, adorable eyes, calling out "Panpan."

In a moment of hesitation, he still managed to save the dying game character with a few quick maneuvers.

"Alright? Our bill..."

"Yay! Meow!! You're not dead, Panpan, you're amazing!"

His words were interrupted, and a warm sensation spread across his cheek. Pan Hu looked up in disbelief.

Cat Tears' face was so close, her breath brushing against my skin. Your eyelashes were clear, a killer moment in the dormitory. Our eyes met, and the atmosphere suddenly became enchanting.

"Uh, this..."

Cat Tears snapped out of his daze, looking at the complex expression in his lake-like eyes. He twitched his lips and gave an awkward smile.

"I was too excited just now, so... Hey, hey, hey, Panpan, what are you doing?!"

"Wait, wait! I haven't finished this game yet, and you haven't had any drinks today, meow!"

Her lips were pressed tightly against his, her arms struggling to embrace his massive body, her claws still clutching her phone.

However, a moment later, the claws trembled slightly, and the clenched hand loosened its grip on the phone, which fell onto the bed.

The game character on the screen was instantly killed by the enemy because no one was controlling him, and within a minute, the chat box was filled with friendly greetings from his teammates.
