Villainess With a Cat Changing System Ch.43

Thank you xuyi & 🙂 for the support!

To all my Ko-Fi supporters, you can now read the extra chapters on Ko-Fi instead of here. Hopefully that’s more convenient for you guys.


Huo Yu had turned into a cat and was lying on the phone, trying to increase her happiness points.

Her little paws tapped on the phone, feeling a bit sour.

The sound of an email notification reminded her to open her work inbox and take a look.

Lin Shuwei invited her to attend the premiere?

Should she go or not?

According to what Lin Shuwei said, if she didn’t go, wouldn’t it give the antis on the internet another reason to attack Lin Shuwei?

If she went, her happiness points would increase.

Huo Yu didn’t want to go. If she didn’t go after Lin Shuwei said so, her happiness points would drop.

Thinking about the rumors on the internet before, she decided to attend.

It had been a long time since they appeared together.

Sometimes, there were events where both of them were invited, but if Huo Yu knew that Lin Shuwei would attend, she would choose not to go.

The CP fans who once held fantasies about them were all in despair, and some even turned from fans to antis.

Attending the premiere wouldn’t be a big deal. With so many people, they would just meet, take a photo, and it would be over soon.

Huo Yu looked at her phone, feeling conflicted, and replied to Xiang Xiaoli.

“Ding! Lin Shuwei knows that the host will attend the premiere, happiness points +500.”

Not long after, Huo Yu received a broadcast from 006.

Huo Yu slumped on the table, all four legs in the air.

“As expected, just mentioning that I want to go, and the happiness points rise again!”

Huo Yu’s heart was complicated.

Did Lin Shuwei truly have feelings for her?

Why was she so jealous and petty?

Lin Shuwei, can’t you have some self-respect? Can’t you focus on your career?

No matter how much Huo Yu complained in her heart, she still had to prepare for the premiere.

Thinking about how Lin Shuwei’s happiness points dropped when she saw the Steamed Fish CP, perhaps Huo Yu should try to suppress the Steamed Fish CP and find a way to cancel it altogether.

Huo Yu changed clothes after becoming human again, and she called Xiang Xiaoli to handle it.

Huo Yu rubbed her tired eyes and wanted to sleep a bit longer when her phone rang.

It was a call from Gu Nanzhen.

“Huo Xiao Yu, what are you doing? How does the Steamed Fish CP bother you? Why did you contact our administrator?!” Gu Nanzhen’s voice came through the phone, sounding annoyed.

“How did you find out so quickly? You’re not the administrator, are you?!” Huo Yu asked in response to what Gu Nanzhen said.

“Um, well… I asked you and you haven’t answered yet? You’ve been in a CP with Lin Shuwei for so long, and you didn’t care. How come you care about me and you now? Are you with her or with me? Who is your true sister?!” Gu Nanzhen felt momentarily awkward, then started questioning Huo Yu.

“Gu Nanzhen! Didn’t you say last time that we would have nothing to do with each other until we die? What kind of ghost friendship is this? Our friendship ship sank a long time ago! If you’re an administrator, hurry up and delete the posts for me, don’t let the hype escalate any further. I’m annoyed! I’m really angry! I’m serious.” Huo Yu said.

“I don’t want it, not even if you give me ten million!” Gu Nanzhen angrily said and hung up the phone.

On the other end of the call, Gu Nanzhen threw the phone on the sofa and pulled at her hair in frustration.

“What’s wrong? Did Huo Yu make you angry?” Lan Xin, who was working with a notebook in hand, glanced up and asked.

“She pissed me off! Why is it that Huo Yu and Lin Shuwei have a popular CP super topic, ranking so high, but me and Huo Xiao Yu don’t? I’m just doing it for fun, not making money, not seeking popularity. Huo Xiao Yu is unhappy about it! We grew up together since we were young, and she has nothing to do with Lin Shuwei now!” Gu Nanzhen said angrily, her cheeks puffed up like a small pufferfish.

Lin Shuwei and Huo Yu had shot a magazine cover together because of their high CP popularity.

Gu Nanzhen felt that she and Huo Yu could do the same.

Shooting a cover for one of the three major magazines, with a dedicated designer and a high-level photographer, would be quite prestigious.

“Zhen Zhen, since you’re so enthusiastic about your CP with Huo Yu, why don’t you do a CP with me? I’ve watched you grow up, isn’t our relationship good?” Lan Xin rested her chin on her hand and looked at Gu Nanzhen.

“Sister Lan Xin, don’t joke around. It’s impossible between you and me…” Gu Nanzhen shook her head as she spoke.

“Well, you said CP popularity represents a good relationship, right?” Lan Xin’s eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment as she continued.

“That’s different. Lin Shuwei can’t compare to me anyway!” Gu Nanzhen said, then picked up her phone and started operating it.

If she couldn’t make her CP popularity high, she would buy hot searches, she wanted it to be high!

Huo Yu also hung up the phone, feeling angry. It was a bit difficult to control that CP super-topic by Gu Nanzhen. Money couldn’t solve everything.

Gu Nanzhen was just here to cause trouble for herself!

She hoped that when Lin Shuwei saw Gu Nanzhen’s CP with her, it would only decrease her happiness points once.

All these troubles have made Huo Yu unable to sleep.

Huo Yu agreed to attend the premiere, so she had to prepare clothes and do her makeup. She also had to participate in the selection process.

When Huo Yu finished the video call with Xiang Xiaoli, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Huo Yu opened the door and saw Lin Shuxiao standing at the doorstep.

“Big Sister Yu, you said the small milk cakes I made were delicious. Today, I made a little more for Big Sister Yu.” Lin Shuxiao spoke in a soft and gentle voice.

Lately, Huo Yu had been staying at the Cat Apartment for convenience, and Gu Nanzhen would occasionally come over.

Since it was summer vacation, Lin Shuxiao worked here all day.

Coincidentally, Lin Shuwei was quite busy running around and not at home, so Huo Yu felt at ease having Lin Shuxiao here.

“Thank you, Xiao Xiao. Don’t work too hard. Just have a taste, it’s not meant to be a meal. Have you eaten? Let’s have a meal together later. In the afternoon, accompany me for a beauty treatment. I feel bored being alone. Please, don’t refuse, spend some time with me?” Huo Yu’s voice instantly softened when facing Lin Shuxiao.

Although Huo Yu tried to avoid Lin Shuwei, she treated Lin Shuxiao exceptionally well.

Delicate and gentle, like a little rabbit, always speaking softly and tenderly.

Such a girl easily aroused a protective instinct in others.

Furthermore, knowing that Huo Zhen liked Lin Shuxiao, Huo Yu naturally treated her differently. She would take Lin Shuxiao to eat delicious food, accompany her for beauty treatments, and even arrange for Huo Zhen to pick her up and create opportunities for them.

“Sure, I’d love to. I enjoy talking to Big Sister Yu.” Lin Shuxiao smiled and said.

Huo Yu gently touched Lin Shuxiao’s hair.

Opportunities to be called “sister” by her were rare.

“Xiao Xiao, tomorrow is your sister’s movie premiere. Do you want to go and cheer for her? Would you like to accompany me?” Huo Yu suggested as she noticed Lin Shuxiao’s bright idea.

Bringing Lin Shuxiao along should help avoid a lot of awkwardness.

Surely Lin Shuwei won’t confess to herself again, right?

“Will there be many people? Will there be photographers?” Lin Shuxiao felt a bit of social anxiety.

“There will be quite a few people. We’ll go early and stay in the VIP room. When we leave, I won’t let those reporters take your picture. We’ll just watch a movie and come back. Your sister will be happy to see you cheering for her when she sees you. Let me see if my brother is available, I’ll ask him to come too.” Huo Yu said.

“Well, okay.” Hearing Huo Yu’s words, Lin Shuxiao nodded.

Being able to cheer for her sister and see Huo Zhen, it’s quite good.

As for whether there will be many people, it doesn’t matter as long as Huo Zhen is there.

In the afternoon, Huo Yu took Lin Shuxiao for a beauty massage. When Lin Shuxiao accompanied her to choose a dress, Huo Yu also selected a dress and matching high heels for Lin Shuxiao.

Lin Shuxiao and Lin Shuwei looked very similar, with good foundations. When they put on nice clothes and did a little makeover, they looked stunning.

“Big Sister Yu, is this dress expensive?” Lin Shuxiao looked at herself in the mirror and felt a bit unfamiliar.

“So, you’re calling me sister, huh? After you’ve accompanied me so many times, if you find it too expensive, I won’t call you anymore.” Huo Yu pretended to be angry and said.

“Okay, okay, don’t be so tangled. Just keep making desserts for me in the future. This dress looks great. When you wear it, I’m afraid even my brother won’t recognize you when he sees you. I want to see his reaction.” Seeing Lin Shuxiao’s hesitant expression, Huo Yu couldn’t bear to let her worry and patted her, saying.

Hearing Huo Yu’s words, Lin Shuxiao finally agreed.

The next afternoon, Huo Yu picked up Lin Shuxiao and they changed into beautiful clothes, did their hair and makeup, and went together to attend Lin Shuwei’s movie premiere.

As the host, Lin Shuwei naturally arrived early. When she saw Huo Yu, her eyes lit up.

Huo Yu was wearing delicate high-heeled sandals, a rose-red dress with floral patterns, and her makeup was slightly softer than usual. She looked very attractive.

Seeing Huo Yu getting out of the car, Lin Shuwei smiled and wanted to go and greet her. But unexpectedly, after Huo Yu got out of the car, she turned and went to another car, leading out a girl.

This girl was wearing a white chiffon dress with puff sleeves, adorned with small flowers on the hem. Her hair was half tied up, and she had the same floral hair accessory. Her hair had gentle curls, flowing over her shoulders, giving her a dreamy look, as if she had stepped out of a fairy tale.

Upon seeing the girl’s face, Lin Shuwei reacted and couldn’t help but laugh and cry. Isn’t this Lin Shuxiao?!

Compared to her usual plain attire, Lin Shuxiao now had a more feminine charm. She exuded a gentle and serene temperament that was captivating.

How did Huo Yu manage to persuade Lin Shuxiao, who didn’t like crowds, to come and watch the movie?

“Ding, Lin Shuwei sees the host. Happiness points +200.”

Huo Yu held Lin Shuxiao’s hand as they got out of the car and walked forward. Upon hearing the announcement from 006, she flashed a courteous smile in Lin Shuxiao’s direction.

Lin Shuwei was also dressed up for the occasion. Her long hair was loose, and she wore a powder blue women’s suit with high heels, displaying a combination of intellect and elegance that accentuated her figure’s advantages.

“Sister…” Lin Shuxiao timidly greeted Lin Shuwei, afraid that she would be angry for not obeying her.

“Lin Shuwei, hello. Xiao Xiao came with me. I had someone arrange her clothes and makeup. She’s here to accompany me, so don’t blame her. I’ll take care of her. You go about your business.” Huo Yu said to Lin Shuwei as they approached.

“Why would I blame her? It’s just that today is indeed a bit busy. Thank you for taking care of her.” Lin Shuwei smiled and said. She invited Huo Yu, and Lin Shuxiao only wanted to see her. She didn’t want to startle Huo Yu again.

“Then let’s go to the lounge first. I’ll join the interview later when needed.” Huo Yu made a V gesture in her mind, feeling happy, but her expression remained indifferent.

Huo Yu took Lin Shuxiao to the lounge, feeling relieved.

Huo Zhen arrived while Huo Yu and Lin Shuxiao were playing in the room.

Huo Yu greeted Huo Zhen and asked him to join them for the movie, so she had the stylist prepare a makeover for Lin Shuxiao as well.

Huo Zhen knocked on the door, and Huo Yu opened it, pulled out Lin Shuxiao who was hiding, and showed her to Huo Zhen.

“Brother, look, can you recognize who this is?” Huo Yu asked Huo Zhen with a smile.

Huo Zhen didn’t respond to Huo Yu’s words. He saw Lin Shuxiao standing still, his gaze fixed on her.

Huo Yu glanced at the shy Lin Shuxiao, then at her infatuated brother. She felt like she shouldn’t be in the room. Wasn’t she just a huge spotlight, shining with several hundred watts?!

Why didn’t she think of this earlier?!

“Ahem, I’ll go out and see if it’s started.” Huo Yu said, but the two people engrossed in their world didn’t pay any attention to her.

    Cute…..

    I’m a little concerned about Huo Yu being with Lin Shuxiao regularly – I’m imagining one of those oh so frustrating system messages coming in while they’re together, and suddenly Huo Yu’s secret being revealed …. Not that I expect she’d do anything bad with that information, but it’s still not great to have it revealed.
