Transmigrating into a 90’s Cat, I Want to Work for My Home Country

Doing quests exhaustingly, but returning to her original place in a night, Cat’s heart was bitter, but Cat could not say it out loud.

The cat was curled up in Qin Xiao’s chest and its head energetically drilled into his armpit.

Its ears were flattened, and its tail was pitifully curled up, circling around Qin Xiao’s arm.

Its small appearance of ‘I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen’, made Song Bei so angry!

— —This bad kid! I must teach it properly!

“Colonel, don’t pull on the cat’s ears, you’ve scared her.” Qin Xiao’s hand gently smoothed Bai Xia Xia’s tail root, “She already knows she was in the wrong.” Qin Xiao held the cat that was scared from erring, he did not give Song Bei the opportunity to pinch the cat’s tiny ears.

Qin Xiao’s right hand’s finger slightly curled, touching the small cat’s back of the neck where a small area was obviously thinner by a layer: “So much hair has been pulled out, would it still dare to do bad things next time?”

“You aren’t her, how do you know that she won’t next time?” Song Bei was like a parent that had been angered by their mischievous kid, he went over to pinch the cat’s curled small jiojio: “It’s no use hiding, come out.”

“Meow…” Tuan Tuan[1] is too fierce.

Bai Xia Xia’s head hurriedly shrunk towards Qin Xiao’s armpit; her paws tightly hooked on Qin Xiao’s arm. It was her first seeing Song Bei angry with a dark expression, Bai Xia Xia was a bit frightened.

“Colonel, you’re being too strict.” Someone who did something wrong should receive punishment and be taught a lesson, it was okay if Song Bei faced the soldiers below like a devil, but the cat was different from a human.

Qin Xiao patted the cat that was nestled in his chest without daring to move in a consoling manner, his voice was very low: “Colonel, she wouldn’t intentionally cause a disturbance, there could be a reason that we don’t know about.”

“No matter what the reason, since she messed the rescue from the doctors, she should be punished.” Song Bei’s expression was serious; the truth was that, Qin Xiao thought like that too.

It was just that he did not agree with Song Bei’s way of punishing the cat.

Whenever Song Bei encountered a question of principle, he would habitually put on the method used in the army, but the cat would be scared.

“Do you already know you did wrong?”

Qin Xiao’s voice was very low, when facing the soft and obedient cat, Qin Xiao’s heart would also soften, and his tone would subconsciously soften down. Bai Xia Xia was brought here by them, so they would have to be responsible for the things that Bai Xia Xia did.

The round head nestled in Qin Xiao’s chest moved, and the cat face rose sadly; its two paws pressed on Qin Xiao’s shoulders.

It weakly nodded its head: “Sniff, sniff, sniff, I’m too miserable…”

The kitty admitted its wrongs rapidly, Right now, I can only admit that I was wrong.

She laid on the back of Qin Xiao’s shoulders, then carefully extended out her head to glance at Song Bei.

“Everything’s fine if you know that you were wrong.” Song Bei was satisfied.

Qin Xiao held the cat’s paws, then carried it to the top of the bedside table.

Bai Xia Xia tilted her roundish head: I already know that I’m wrong.

Qin Xiao’s right hand’s index finger curled up, indifferently knocked on the wall, then he said: “Since you know that you’re wrong, face the wall and reflect for an hour.”

Bai Xia Xia: ???

What did I hear? Qin Xiao, you’re not human! I’ve already admitted that I’m wrong! Even though, what I did was right.

“One hour is too short, two hours.” Song Bei: “She’s not a domesticated pet, she can live prosperously in Cuilian Mountain, naturally and at ease at that. She’s amazing, one hour isn’t enough!”

“A cat that’s this amazing, it’s got to be two hours!” Song Bei made the final decision[2], and he even grabbed Bai Xia Xia’s hind leg on purpose.

Bai Xia Xia …discriminating against wild animals is wrong!

Based on what should wild animals have extra training, be punished one more hour, Cat isn’t convinced, Cat wants to appeal!

The pitiful cat was mercilessly suppressed, the sitting small round figure revealed an air full of frustration and aggrievement.

Its tail was no longer waving, it drooped and was stuck to the butt, and the back of its head was covered with ‘not happy’.

Bai Xia Xia: …someone come, come fast! Save Cat, I want to make a call to the Animal Protection Association, you guys are abusing and discriminating against wild animals!

“No sitting appearance[3] when sitting, no standing appearance when standing, with your head drooping, and you still feel wronged, lift your head and keep your chest up!” A big hand suddenly hit the back of Bai Xia Xia’s head, then held the back of Bai Xia Xia’s neck to straighten her back.

After making sure that he had made the cat be as upright as a sculpture, Song Bei then scrutinized the cat that was reflecting while facing the wall.

He pressed together her two sitting paws, then also settled the small tail by the side of the paws before stopping.

Bai Xia Xia: …sure enough, the obsessive compulsive from soldier gege is inherited from the ancestors. You, for even a cat, still need to make a standard for the posture when reflecting while facing the wall?

System: “Ahahahahahaha, hic…”

Bai Xia Xia: “Why do you know how to laugh?”

System: “Sorry, initially I didn’t want to laugh… I usually don’t laugh, unless I can’t hold it back.”

Bai Xia Xia: “…”

The cat pitifully casted a glance at Qin Xiao: You bad guy with godly looks[4], I judged you wrong! Giving physical punishment to Cat, you’re cruel, you’re ruthless, you’re shameless, and you’re also making trouble without a reason!

Song Bei held the cat’s head and turned it back for her: “You’re not allowed to look around!”

Bai Xia Xia: …

These two guys are discussing the problem of how to raise me right by my ear, that’s going too far! The cat involved is still here! Discussing how to punish me right in front of me, you’re going too far!

Song Bei felt that, raising a cat was like raising a child, punishment should be given when something wrong was done, praise should be given when things were done right, so they could not do free-range raising anymore.

Bai Xia Xia who was free-range raised: “???”

“If we keep on not putting effort, she’ll be wasted.”

Bai Xia Xia: “?? What, you even want me to go do the exam for Peking University?!”

Song Bei irately stroked his chin, Not even raising a son takes this much effort!

Translator’s comments:

It’s funny because Bai Xia Xia could escape from the punishment if she decided to act like she didn’t understand them, but because she wants to be ‘human’, she doesn’t.

Translator’s notes:

[1] Song Bei’s nickname was previously translated as Bundle, but it’ll be Tuan Tuan from now on, following the pinyin of the words. It sounds better.

[2] Idiomatic expression ‘一锤定音 (yī chuí dìng yīn)’: lit. translation: ‘setting the tone with the blow of a hammer’. It means ‘to make the final decision’.

[3] As in sitting posture and standing posture. Should be with a straight back instead of being slumped.
