The Idol Group Pet Became A Final Boss!

Chapter 62 - It is my Honor to Serve You, Miss Xiang Yi 1

Xiang Yi was crisp and efficient in her work, and very quickly, she had made a few more cups of coffee.

Concentrated espresso, iced americano, caramel macchiato… Nothing seemed difficult to her.

After snapping out of his trance, Li Jianyu began to interview her: "Mentor Xiang Yi, did you hold a barista qualification certificate? I hear it's quite difficult to obtain. You need theoretical knowledge of practical operations or something..."

Xiang Yi shook her head innocently.

The live comments: [I suspect the Vase Fairy's gaze is saying: Does this even need to be learned?]

Yet, when the girl opened her mouth, her tone was gentle and polite. "No, I do not; I just learned a bit here and there. My skills should be very average."

The live comments: [????????]

"By the way, if any of your staff want coffee, just come grab it for yourself. If you don't know how to use this semi-automatic espresso machine, there's a capsule machine over there. You can put the capsule in and coffee will automatically come out."

Li Jianyu was superficially polite. "No, no, mentor Xiang Yi, you're really too kind."

"It's nothing, really. These machines in my house will malfunction if they are not used for long durations of time."

Xiang Yi didn't like coffee very much, even with milk and sugar. She had purchased these machines for her brothers...

Thinking of them, Xiang Yi's gaze softened.

—[The Vase Fairy really can't take a compliment; this fakeness is too low level]

—[When her mouth is closed: a pretty girl. When she opens her mouth: a brainless vase. I recommend the TV crew to stop equipping Xiang Yi with a microphone. Can you just mute her?]

—[The coffee machine is from the brand Qcoffee, an internationally acclaimed brand. This vintage red color is also a limited edition machine, so even secondhand, it would cost over 80,000 RMB. Combined with the other bits and pieces here, there is at least 300,000 RMB worth of equipment in this room alone. I was reluctant to believe these machines belong to you in the first place, but do you really need to bring this stuff from home just to film a variety show? This is laughable.]

Xiang Yi brought three cups of coffee over.

Shi Sui chose the cup of espresso and raised his eyebrows slightly after a sip. Afterwards, he took several sips in a row, obviously enjoying the flavor.

Yan Zhenhua tasted the iced americano and casually praised, "The beans are great, Little Xiang Yi; you are an expert at picking them indeed."

Yan Nai looked at the remaining cup of coffee on the table, then back toward Xiang Yi. He wasn't sure if this cup was for him, or if Xiang Yi had made it for herself.

The young boy's eyes were glistening, and his hair blown out into a soft do by Ah Nan. He looked a bit like a little shota* from an anime.

Xiang Yi was much more patient with children when she was with other people and softly said, "This is made for you. I added a bit more caramel, so it shouldn't taste bitter."

Yan Nai's eyes lit up.

He picked up the coffee cup to take a look. The latte cat was cute and lovely, which made Yan Nai unable to resist showing off to Shi Sui.

"Big brother, look! Look, mine has a kitty."

Shi Sui's sipping motion paused.

'Don't get mad.'

'It's not worth it.'

'You don't care.'

Xiang Yi was only taking care of him like a child, nothing more.

"Meow~!" Just then, Xiao Naofu, who had been chasing butterflies in the garden, approached and jumped into Xiang Yi's arms.

As the girl rubbed the back of its neck, Xiao Naofu squinted its eyes in comfort and began to purr delicately.

Yan Zhenhua noted: "Why doesn't this cat eat kibble? I see it hasn't touched any of the food in its bowl."

"It's probably just picky with its food. I'm going to make some tuna and pumpkin cat food for it."

After she spoke, Xiang Yi couldn't help but kiss the little cat on its forehead.

Xiao Naofu: ...!!

Its eyes gazed wide, with only one thought flowing through its head:

This tiger is no longer chaste!

Shi Sui's gaze, however, suddenly became a bit strange.

The girl had said that she saw him as… a cat?

*Translator's Note: Shota or ("zheng tai" in Chinese) refers to young, cute and soft-looking boys, similar to a little brother trope often seen in anime. This also refers to the ones who wear shorts in particular.
