It's quiet in the carriage. Leon's hand gently strokes Sophie's head, and the touch is so comfortable that Sophie can't help but rub against his leg. This move makes the cameraman sitting next to them burst out laughing, and even the camera is shaking.
The sunlight outside the window shines on the car window, warm and bright. Leon originally wanted the little cat to stay in the back because he was going to drive, but Sophie's two claws tightly grab onto his leg and she refuses to move. Leon looks at her big, black, pitiful eyes and suddenly feels a bit reluctant. So he lets her lie on his leg. He glances at the rear - view mirror, and after confirming that there are no cars behind, he drives away from the villa area and heads to the supermarket to do some shopping.
It's quiet all the way. The cameraman is filming Leon's clear - cut side - face profile. And Sophie has been thinking about the task assigned by the Short - Legged Cat System.
"Do I really have to do this task?"
"What do you think?"
"Why did you say I died a terrible death?" Sophie remembers that she died inexplicably. She fell off a low - rise bungalow when she was going to look at a house. At that time, she thought she was probably doomed, so she didn't think much about it.
"How do you know I died terribly? Did you see when I died?" Sophie continues to ask.
The Short - Legged Cat System responds perfunctorily with a "hmm - hmm": "Not sure."
"Ah? Aren't you a system? You don't even know this?"
"The system isn't omnipotent."
Sophie is speechless. She asks again: "Then how can I turn back into a human?!" This is what she is most worried about. What if after finishing all the tasks, there is no body for her to return to?
This time, the Short - Legged Cat System answers her seriously: "There will be an opportunity when the time comes to turn back into a human."
"What kind of opportunity?"
"Don't know."
Sophie complains: "A system that doesn't know anything, shouldn't it just disappear?" After saying this, there is no response from the Short - Legged Cat System for a long time. She calls out several times, but there is no sound.
She can't help but mutter: "Could it really have disappeared?"
"First, execute the task." The Short - Legged Cat System suddenly appears.
Sophie asks: "... If I don't execute it, will it really disappear again?"
"Yeah."
"Are you really not lying to me?"
"Really. First, think about whether you want to believe me. If you do, then do as the system says."
Sophie thinks about it. Now she seems to have no choice but to believe this system. At least the system gave her a second life, and she also wants to figure out why she died. Before, she thought she had a short life, but now her death seems full of mysteries.
"I believe you."
After saying that, Sophie moves her body, wanting to change her position to fart. After all, the current position is facing her male god directly, and she still feels a bit embarrassed.
A cat's fart is silent but very stinky. After she secretly farts towards the cameraman, she buries her head between Leon's legs and doesn't move.
The car is sealed, and the windows are tightly closed. Suddenly, an unpleasant smell fills the air, especially in the passenger seat where the cameraman is sitting. He frowns uncomfortably. He wants to say something, but when he looks at Leon, who is focused on driving, he swallows the words back. The cameraman uses one hand to fix the camera and then opens the window. Fresh air rushes in, and the stinky smell in the carriage gradually dissipates.
Leon seems to notice something. He looks down at the cat that has changed its position on his leg, and a glimmer of a smile flashes in his eyes.
After driving for about twenty minutes, they arrive at the supermarket entrance. Leon gets out of the car with the cat in his arms and puts her aside, wanting Sophie to walk because the director is adjusting the microphone for him.
Sophie initially lies quietly at Leon's feet. Because of the farting incident just now, she always feels that Leon knows about it and is a bit ashamed and shy.
At this time, Leon shouts: "Little cat, come quickly. We're going to the supermarket."
Sophie excitedly raises her head. Her two short legs get tangled together, and she tumbles to the ground again. The staff around see this scene and all can't help but burst into laughter. Even Leon can't help but bend his lips.
Sophie is annoyed in her heart: When will I stop being so embarrassing?
After everyone has laughed enough, she is picked up by Leon and they walk into the supermarket. Sophie is extremely ashamed and buries her head in his arms without speaking.
She ponders for a long time and asks the system: "When can my legs become a little longer?" She asks for a few minutes, but the Short - Legged Cat System doesn't answer.
Sophie asks again: "System, where have you been? Can you make my legs a little longer?!"
The Short - Legged Cat System replies: "Just got disconnected."
Sophie is puzzled: "Disconnected?!" Is there such an operation?
The Short - Legged Cat System doesn't explain and directly tells her: "It's impossible to become longer."
"Didn't you just say that I would get rewards for completing tasks?!"
"Yes, but this reward doesn't include making your legs longer."
"Then what does it include?"
The Short - Legged Cat System ponders for a long time and answers: "It can only be to accumulate virtue and return to being a human as soon as possible."
"How much virtue do I need to accumulate?"
"Just reach one hundred."
"How many points was the previous task?"
"0.5."
Sophie is on the verge of collapse: "..." She swears that one day she will deal with this system.
"Then what are the tasks?"
The Short - Legged Cat System's tone becomes serious: "Divided into three stages. The tasks are all random and temporarily confidential."
The conversation ends. Sophie is picked up by Leon and put into the supermarket cart, in the small basket on the top.
As soon as Leon enters the supermarket, although there are security guards maintaining order, many female fans are still screaming and trying to squeeze over.
"Ah ah ah, where's Leon? Is this Leon? What program are they recording?"
"The previous childcare one. I thought it was over!"
"My God, quickly take pictures. Take more pictures."
After the chaos ends, Leon selects some food and then quickly checks out and leaves the supermarket. Sophie is picked up by the director's sister and follows Leon to get in the car quickly.
Sophie lets the director's sister gently touch her head and rubs forward, enjoying the touch. Although she likes Leon, as a cat, she has a good impression of anyone who can scratch her head because it's really too comfortable.
Back at the villa area, Leon looks at Sophie and discusses with the director: "Let's put her here first and pick her up later when it's over?" Because there is a child inside who is allergic to cats, so even if Leon wants to take her in, he can't.
The director agrees: "Okay, we will definitely watch over her well."
Leon stares at her for a long time and then purses his lips and says: "Also, ask around if any residents have lost a cat."
"No problem."
After giving the instructions, Sophie watches Leon walk into the house and squats aside, soakin' up the sun all sulky - like. There are many director's sisters, cameramen, and other staff members standing around, and their conversations all reach Sophie's ears.
Suddenly, the conversation between the cameraman and the director's sister catches her attention.
The cameraman frowns and says: "I want to say something about Brother Leon."
"What is it?"
"Did Brother Leon fart in the car just now?"
Sophie is shocked, and her short legs instantly go soft.
The director's sister whispers: "Wasn't it you?"
"Not me." The cameraman denies. "It was really stinky."
The director's sister chokes for a moment and looks at him suspiciously: "I thought it was you. It was really stinky, and you even opened the window."
The cameraman continues: "That's because it was too stinky. The smell was all on my side."
The two are still discussing in a low voice. Sophie can't help but want to cover her face with her paws, but unfortunately, her paws are too short to cover it at all. She can only silently apologize to her male god in her heart for making him take the blame.
"Are you proud? Your male god took the blame for you." The Short - Legged Cat System teases.
"No, my male god must know it was me."
The cat system snorts: "Surely. Your male god knows the smell of a cat's stinky fart."
Sophie is speechless:
