Chapter 61: Going On A Date!
The clueless Kyle could only let his little cat bite him, watching him helplessly.
After releasing his anger on Kyle, Tyler started reading again.
[Paul started having admirer's competition with them. Sometimes they would make trouble for him, like doing something wrong and blaming it on Paul, and other times Paul would retaliate and reciprocate by making trouble for them.
This went on secretly for a while, but Kyle figured it all out eventually and got angry at that male, female, and even Paul, who had come with a new identity. He slowly alienated himself from everyone and kicked Paul out of his job when things became exclusive.
The cat was calm, though, since he could still see Kyle when he would go home. Then he didn't shapeshift like before and became a docile cat at home, but he was immensely jealous of the woman who had married Kyle.]
Tyler snorted at this. He could understand that Paul was jealous. If the current male lead were to bring a woman home, he would also try and make her life a living hell!
[Paul slowly started giving the woman a poison by stealing it from a medical store. He wanted Kyle to kick the girl out! And the best thing he could do was to make her womb dry and useless.
He was nearly successful if it weren't for Kyle figuring out the situation. He installed cameras, saw the cat shapeshift into a person looked a lot like his former assistant, mixing a powder in FL's food, and becoming a cat again.
After that, ML wasted no time in kicking his cat out as well. At the end of the story, the car spent his time wandering around the street, eating garbage, and dying out of sickness, hunger, and injury. Even the wizard had gone off, so the cat couldn't find any shelter and died.]
After that, Tyler turned off the interface and started thinking about the plot seriously. The system's message had warned him that he would have to keep the plot intact, but he really didn't want the male lead to get married to Sato Yui!
What should he do?
When he thought deeply, he suddenly remembered what day it was! Today Kyle had just come home from his practice, and tomorrow, he would ask Sato Yui on a secret date! In the story, poor Paul didn't even know that his beloved had gone off on the date for two hours!
When Tyler thought about this, his heart was filled with anxiety.
Wait, since he knew that Kyle would go out with an unknown woman, he could plan ahead and force this guy to stay at home!
But when he remembered the warning his system had given him about the arcs, Tyler felt depressed all over again.
What to do? He didn't want Kyle to meet that woman, but he also didn't want to stop this male lead from leading the arc forward.
Just when he was about to go mad with worry, he felt a gentle tap on his head. He glanced at an amused male lead, who rubbed Tyler's ears, again and again, fondling with great care before he parted his lips. "What're you thinking?"
"Meow?" Tyler tilted his head as if asking what Kyle was talking about.
Seeing this kind of innocent face, Kyle sighed and couldn't help himself from blurting it out. "I won't go out with that girl."
Tyler suddenly felt anxious. He put his two little paws on the man's chest and glanced anxiously. He wanted to tell this guy, shake his shoulders, and make him follow the plot!
Didn't the system say that it's essential to follow the arcs?!
Kyle could tell what this little cat was worried about. He smiled and said, "Did I say I won't go on a date?"
Tyler frowned and looked even more confused.
How did the male lead plan this arc without going on a date with the female lead?!
"I'm not lying to you." The male lead's throat moved after seeing Tyler's cute little face. "Okay, let me handle this, okay? The burden of storyline and arcs was too much on you in the previous worlds. So I'll handle everything this time, okay?"
The cat felt suspicious, but he still nodded. What choice did he have? Currently, he had lost his memories, and this man could be considered to be his senior.
So he had no choice but to trust him.
Kyle finally let out a sigh of relief. Earlier, he was worried that this little guy would go all out on him and refuse to see his face. And Tyler was just a tiny cat and could hide anywhere.
And the fact that Tyler had lost memories was even more disadvantageous for him. How would this little guy survive if he were lost?
So Kyle didn't dare to tease him randomly like before.
And the storyline? He knew what he wanted to do. Hadn't the higherups said that he could be fine as long as he followed the arcs? Then who participated in that particular arc really didn't matter!
A playful smile formed on his lips at this. He knew exactly what he should do.
***
The next day, Tyler was sleeping on the couch when he was shaken awake by Kyle, who seemed excited for some reason. He didn't even waste much time bathing the cat as the previous day.
Tyler glanced suspiciously at the male lead. Was this person so excited to go out on a date with that lady that he even forgot to rub him like yesterday?!
Although Tyler didn't want to admit it, he indeed feels excellent every time he was given a rub on his head and chin. He would almost hold in his urge to lick those fingers with his tongue to express his satisfaction.
But now, Tyler had never felt so angry before! The male lead had said that he would handle everything, but he couldn't help but be more suspicious.
What exactly was this person going to do to solve this kind of problem? He couldn't help but imagine all sorts of scenarios.
Did Kyle think of hiring another female to act as the female lead?
Or did the male lead just plan to go on a date all alone?
Tyler frowned and glanced at the male lead, who was busy packing things up. Then he brought a bag, stuffed some stuff inside that Tyler couldn't see, and came before the cat, crouching on the ground.
"Let's go!" There was a big smile on his face.
Tyler again tilted his head. The story had said that the cat should sta in the house while the male lead should be out on a date. But what was this man doing taking him along?
Wasn't this OOCing directly? Tyler couldn't help but feel anxious.
Kyle could tell what he was feeling. He rolled his eyes and said while cradling the cat in his arms, "Don't worry. The system said only to make the arcs happen. It doesn't matter who participated in the arc as long as the story was balanced."
He stuffed Tyler in the car's passenger seat in the underground garage of the apartment and drove on the street. After a while, Tyler could see that they were silently crossing the city area, driving toward the forest.
Where did this person want to take him?
Although he was worried about the arcs, he didn't complain. Kyle was a senior in his eyes. So he just needed to follow every word this person said.
On the other side, Kyle saw Tyler's obedient face and suddenly remembered a scene from their original world.
They were both kids at that time, and Tyler was similarly cute. He would just stick around the male lead and follow him everywhere with his eyes glistening in joy. Back then, Kyle had simply considered this person a nuisance and even ignored this person a bunch of times.
Now when he thought about it, he felt nostalgic. A sad smile formed on his lips.
He should've given Tyler the priority. Or else, this accident wouldn't have happened. A bitter smile formed on his lips as he drove toward a lake.
When Tyler saw this sad appearance on the male lead's face, he felt a tinge of pain in his heart. And crawled out of the seatbelt and climbed toward the male lead. After that, he just went up, trying to steady himself using the collar of his shirt.
But unfortunately, he still wasn't used to his little paws and his hold loosened. Just as he was about to fall, Kyle's giant palms held him in place.
"Wha-" The male lead had just opened his mouth when Tyler suddenly licked his lips.
Kyle couldn't help but stop the car suddenly and stare at this little guy with widened eyes.
Did he just pick his lips?!
Why?
And that too while he was driving!
Kyle knew that this person had really lost his memories, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of hope in his heart. Perhaps Tyler was still feeling something despite being amnesiac?
On the other side, Tyler's thinking wasn't so complicated. He just instinctively felt that he was supposed to lick to make the male lead feel better. So he just went with his desires.
But now, when he had done this thing and saw almost a shocked and weird look in the male lead's eyes, the cat suddenly felt shy. If he were a human, his entire face would've turned red.
