During the three-hour flight, Qin Chen would’ve chosen to wear an eye mask and mask to sleep but this time, he remembered the checked-in Xu Jian so he wasn’t in the mood to sleep.
He was always afraid that in the process of the checked baggage his precious cat would bump into something.

Checked baggage : it is the luggage in compliance with the airline baggage regulations and delivered to the airline during check-in to be stored in an inaccessible area to the passenger during the flight.

Therefore, as soon as he got off the plane, long-legged Qin Chen went directly to pick up his cat.
Pan Min was fine, Xiao Nan’s short legs could hardly catch up to him, so she had to speed up raising her legs.

can also mean: speeding up her pace 

Xiao Nan complained to Pan Min in a low voice. Brother Chen is so hasty and anxious that one would think he’s in a hurry to pick up his beloved girlfriend.

Pan Min smiled and shook her head, “He always had no resistance to furry things.
Two years ago, when my son was two years old, during the Chinese New Year, he was wearing a fluffy brown bear pajamas, he held my son and played all afternoon.”

Xiao Nan looked up and imagined Qin Chen holding a Milk doll and felt that the scene surprisingly had a strange harmony.

After receiving the cat, Qin Chen on the other hand carefully picked up the pet bag to look inside.
He saw that Milk was lying on his back in the pet bag with his eyes closed.
Because of the limited space, his four legs couldn’t unfold, which made him a little depressed.

Qin Chen saw Xu Jian lying there and gently tapped on the glass with some worry:

“Milk?”

Hearing the noise, Xu Jian listlessly opened his eyes.
He opened his mouth to Qin Chen’s magnified handsome face, “Meow, wu~”

Don’t worry, I’m just airsick, and I’m still alive……

Xu Jian lay weakly on his four legs, his face is full of words that he had no love for life.
He didn’t expect to be airsick after he turned into a cat.

He didn’t get airsick before, not even carsick, but now……

When he remembered the overwhelming dizziness and ringing in his ears when the plane took off, Xu Jian became nauseous and felt uncomfortable all over again.

Seeing that Xu Jian was fine, Qin Chen breathed a sigh of relief; touched him through the pet bag, and spoke in a warm voice:

“We’re here, I’ll buy you small dried fish later.”

Xu Jian closed his eyes and licked his mouth, “Meow~”

You said it, ah.

Since the last time he got stuck in the hospital by a fishbone, Xu Jian once again stayed away from the fish dish.
But he is a cat now, fish has a fatal attraction to him, so he can’t control his mouth.

After the last time, Qin Chen also remembered, when feeding him fish, he will remove the fishbones beforehand.

Later, Qin Chen found that some small dried yellow croakers were sold.
The thorns on the crispy dried little fish are so small and soft that it can’t feel the thorns in one bite, and it was not a threat to Xu Jian.

Qin Chen tried to buy some back and found that Xu Jian, like other cats, loved it a lot.

Later on, the small dried yellow croaker became a must-have food for Qin Chen to coax Xu Jian, and it was a casual snack that Xu Jian couldn’t give up.

Qin Chen repeatedly bumped into Xu Jian eating small dried fish while watching TV.
He (XJ) couldn’t take his eyes off the TV that he didn’t know he (QC) also thought he had become a spirit……

The crew sent a car to pick up Qin Chen, carrying the dizzy Xu Jian with his head on his back to the car in low profile.
The first thing Qin Chen did after sitting down was to rescue Xu Jian from the small pet bag.

Holding the white cat with a soft and powerless body, Qin Chen gently helped him smooth his hair, and the distress in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Xiao Nan and Pan Min are used to this scene, Pan Min also looked down at the cat on Qin Chen’s lap and asked:

“Milk is airsick?”

Qin Chen pinched Xu Jian’s meat pad and nodded, “It should be, a little.”

Before boarding the plane, the little white cat was still in high spirits, but it turned into a wilted little thing a few hours later.

Xiao Nan peeked over and was surprised, “Cats get airsickness?”

This is the first time she had heard of it.

Pan Min: “Of course, cats not only get airsick like people, they may also get carsick, seasick, and motion sickness on public transportation.”

After hearing Pan Min’s words, Xu Jian nodded along with Xiao Nan in his heart, indicating that he had learned.

Before today, Xu Jian really didn’t think that cats would be as motion sick on transportation as people.

But during the shipping process, he found he was the only one who seemed to be airsick among the pets inside. 

The cage next to Xu Jian was filled with a golden retriever, which was in the process of excitement the whole time.
Its paws pushed the iron cage so loudly that his cat’s head was about to explode.
He forced himself to meow at the excited buddy twice, which means ——

Bro, can we be a little quieter?

After becoming a cat, Xu Jian no longer feels mentally disturbed calling cats and dogs brothers.

However, Xu Jian had the experience of being chased by wild dogs before and then being pounced on by a husky, which led him to be somewhat afraid of dogs now.
He only dared to meow twice at the excited golden retriever through the cage.

Xu Jian’s cat cries naturally failed to attract the attention of the golden retriever brother.
One cat and one dog, the communication failed so Xu Jian was forced to listen to the excited whimpering of the golden retriever brother for several hours.

Xu Jian doesn’t know how many times he sighed in his heart that it was too difficult to be a cat.

He even fantasized about it: If given the choice, how he wished he had become a national treasure panda.

The same name has the character cat. Why is there such a big difference between him and the panda ne?

熊猫(xióng māo) which means panda and 猫(māo) which means cat.
Xu Jian meant that the panda has the same character as the word cat.

…………

Qin Chen is filming an urban workplace drama this time.
He was specially invited to play the role of the male boss.
There aren’t many scenes but his role in the drama is very important.
Without any mishaps, he can finish work in about two weeks.

In this play, Qin Chen’s friend, Tang Li is the biggest investor.
He originally invited Qin Chen to play the male lead but after reading the script, he felt that the role wasn’t suitable for him.
On the contrary, the role of the male boss attracted him more, so he asked for the script of the male boss.

His father, Qin Yuan was the happiest about the fact that he (QC) chose the N male instead of the male lead with many scenes.

N means number, like male three, four, and so on but his role as the male boss wasn’t specified which number he is in the supporting roles.

Qin Chen is already twenty-six years old, and his father is now fifty-two years old.
He’s not too old but he already has the idea of retiring from the second line and traveling around the world with his wife.
He desperately wants to put the burden of supporting his family completely on his son’s shoulders.

retiring from the second line: to withdraw to the second line of duty; to resign from a leading post (and assume an advisory post)]

Thus, during the last Chinese New Year, Qin Yuan told Qin Chen that by letting him relax, he could gradually reduce his work in the circle and start trying to take over some of the entertainment business.

Apart from wanting to spend time with his wife, there is another important reason as to why Qin Yuan is in such a hurry to let Qin Chen take over the entertainment:

Entertainment Culture is only a small part of Qin Chen’s family industry, which is a branch of the Qin Group.
The Qin Group operates on a number of industries of which the most profitable is the Entertainment Culture, followed by food and transport, and cold chain logistics has the best development in transportation.

cold chain logistics: also referred to as chill chain logistics, is the transport of temperature-controlled goods, such as temperature-sensitive foods, beverages, and biopharmaceutical products.

In recent years, Entertainment Culture has developed quite comprehensively from signing artists to investing in movies and TV dramas, and then establish media marketing subsidiaries.

So if Qin Chen wants to completely take over the helm of the Qin Group, he needs to spend a lot of time understanding the company’s business situation.

This is why Tang Li also gloated for a while, saying that everyone else would go home to inherit the family business if they weren’t popular while Qin Chen had to go home to inherit the huge family business —— whether he’s popular or not.

Then socialize in the year-round party banquet, the blossoming youth would become greasy.

At that time, Tang Li applauded excitedly and laughed unscrupulously, “Wait ‘till you gain weight.
I am the most handsome man in your circle of friends, applause!”

(然后在常年的酒桌应酬中英年发福变油腻。

当时的唐离兴奋鼓掌，笑得很没良心：“等你英年发福了，我就是朋友圈最帅的男人了，鼓掌！”

Leaving the raws in case there were some mistranslated words for I’m not quite confident with my translation on this part.
Sorry about that.)

Ten minutes later, the fallen Tang Li was drunk by Qin Chen.
Looking at him lying on the sofa talking nonsense, the wilted Du Zezhou took an ugly picture of him and sent it to the group with the words:

fallen: to throw stones at sb who fell down a well (idiom); to hit a person who is down.

[Look, everyone, this is the most handsome man in our circle in the future.]

The next day, Tang Li woke up with a hangover, saw the group news, and sent a message to Du Zezhou with gritted teeth, cordially asked him whether the big grandpa is recently in good health……

Even Pan Min thought Qin Chen was ready to go home and become president.
Only Qin Chen himself knew that he simply took a fancy to this N male boss’s role.

After arriving at the hotel, the fellow crew members took Qin Chen to their room.
Along the way, their eyes drifted uncontrollably several times to the cat lying on Qin Chen’s arms.

Xu Jian was now recovering from the airsickness and was stunned by the decoration at the hotel lobby, smacking his lips——

Film Emperors are different.
The hotel where the filming crew is staying is almost catching up with five-star hotels.

Xu Jian thought back to the few cannon fodder he had performed since his debut.
The best hotel was a hotel with 100 yuan a night, and the boss also included breakfast……

100 YUAN = 15.49USD as of this date (06/28/21)

Thinking of this, Xu Jian quietly glanced at Qin Chen, and the cat paw scratched his arm through his clothes twice.

The disparity in treatment between the two was so great that it nearly brought the cat to tears.

Qin Chen looked at his little movements and thought he was hungry so he soothingly rubbed his back and scratched his belly.

Frankly, Xu Jian first refused Qin Chen’s behavior of scratching his belly but he gradually found Qin Chen’s touch was gentle and scratched him quite comfortably, so he let him go.

Similarly at present, Xu Jian half squinted to enjoy Qin Chen’s service and even consciously twisted and turned in his arms, and quietly gulped.
After revealing his belly, he raised his two front paws to hold one of Qin Chen’s fingers, and then pull his fingers to the other side, that means——

Scratch this side, too.

Qin Chen lowered his eyes and looked at Milk rolling in his arms, smiled in his eyes, and rubbed two more times on his belly.

Looking at Xu Jian who was lying comfortably and purring in Qin Chen’s arms, Xiao Nan half-joking and half-seriously said:

“If Brother Chen’s fans see this, they will say that people are worse than cats.”

The staff member who led the way nodded silently in his heart and said: Who would’ve thought that Emperor Qin was an out-and-out cat slave?

And you even have to take it with you when joining the group filming……

Qin Chen’s lunchtime was spent on the plane, considering the unsatisfactory taste of the flight meals, the staff ordered a hotel lunch for them in advance and sent them to their respective rooms.

After helping Qin Chen change the hotel’s bed sheets and covers, Xiao Nan and Pan Min went back to their rooms.

Afterwards, Qin Chen and Xu Jian were left in the room, one man and one cat.
Xu Jian wasn’t polite with him and directly jumped on the table to wait for feeding.

Although he isn’t very hungry now, the aroma of food has hooked his gluttonous instinct out again.

Qin Chen looked at Xu Jian half-sitting on the table with his tail dangling, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry:

“Milk, your tail is going to wave out afterimages, are you a cat or a dog ah?”

Xu Jian’s wagging tail stagnated, then glared discontentedly at Qin Chen, “Meow~”

I’m happy to wag my own tail, leave me alone!

Thinking of this, Xu Jian even stood up with his butt facing Qin Chen and deliberately wagged his long tail at him——

I’m not only going to wag it but I’ll also wag it in front of you.

Just ask if you are angry!

Restraining from stroking the cat’s tail, Qin Chen suppressed a smile:

“Although you’re a male cat, we should pay attention to the effect when we go out.”

Xu Jian didn’t respond for a moment, tilting his wagging tail while his mind wondering ——

He, a cat wagging his tail, just what effect should he pay attention to?

A few seconds later, Xu Jian had a flash of inspiration and suddenly reacted, his body stiffened.
In the next second, he jumped in place as if his tail had been stepped on, and hurriedly put down his cocked tail and opened his mouth at the same time:

“Meow!”

Rogue! Staring at someone’s butt!
