Shen Luo thought, okay, I'm the bad guy here. The couple was all lovey-dovey and sweet, so I better not be so mean.

He took Qiuqiu and Ah Chou back to the cat beauty contest arena. The pedigree cat competition was still going on. There were more breeds: common ones like Russian Blue, American Shorthair, British Shorthair; pricier ones like Persian, Ragdoll, and worker-class Siamese. Quite a few breeds overall.

At the pedigree cat competition afterward, the crowd was definitely way bigger. Some cats were really pretty, like that Ragdoll—supposedly super friendly, though a bit slow-witted. The Ragdoll was the most popular breed and really did look stunning.

That round went on until past five, with over a hundred cats finishing the competition.

Then it was time to announce the results. Shen Luo instantly perked up. Even if Qiuqiu couldn't get first place, at least placing somewhere should be doable, right?

The nice thing about this competition was that whether it was the street cat group or the pedigree group, the prize money and awards were the same for the same rank. Shen Luo felt pretty confident about Qiuqiu.

They started announcing the street cat group results, beginning from fifth place.

Shen Luo listened all the way through and felt something was off—none of the cats that won looked as good as his Qiuqiu. Like the fourth-place white cat, it just had a pair of odd-colored eyes. How was that anywhere near as cute as Qiuqiu?

Shen Luo was holding his breath until finally, he heard the head judge say, "The first place in the street cat beauty contest is—"

The judge looked around at everyone before saying, "Cat number 10, Qiuqiu!"

Shen Luo immediately cheered, raising Qiuqiu up, "Yeah! Qiuqiu's number one!"

Shen Luo carried Qiuqiu onto the stage to receive the award, with Ah Chou trailing right behind. Shen Luo thought, well, the wife won, so the husband should get to enjoy some of the glory too—so he didn't stop him.

Qiuqiu was placed on the highest podium symbolizing the champion. Qiuqiu looked a bit scared but seemed to have gotten used to it, so didn't shake as badly, just softly meowing.

Ah Chou tried to jump up there too, but Shen Luo quickly grabbed him. This ugly cat trying to get to the first-place spot would just be asking for ridicule, so Shen Luo held him tight.

The head judge carefully placed a small crown on Qiuqiu's head. Qiuqiu didn't understand what it meant and tilted her head slightly to keep the crown from falling. Shen Luo, holding Ah Chou behind, laughed happily.

Photographers hurried to capture the moment. Recently, there'd been a lot of media about the event, and maybe the street cat first-place would get featured in a photo too!

After the awards, while others were taking their cats offstage, Shen Luo quickly pulled a photographer aside and said, "Can you take a picture of these two cats for me?"

The photographer looked at the two cats on the highest podium—one ugly, one beautiful—side by side, and twitched a smile, but agreed.

So Ah Chou and Qiuqiu got this epic couple's photo at their moment of glory.

Outside the barrier, the crowd was still loudly shouting, "Ah Chou!"

Who would've thought Ah Chou got famous now?

Of course, even though Ah Chou was ugly, protective of his wife, and kinda sneaky, he knew to act cool now—pretending he heard nothing and ignoring everyone.

Next came the pedigree group results. Shen Luo hurriedly took the two cats off the stage and was led to another area—the award-winning cats exhibition zone, where people could see the winners up close.

Shen Luo found a stump and put Qiuqiu and Ah Chou up on it. Two cats together were pretty heavy.

Almost immediately, a crowd gathered, super curious about Ah Chou!

The staff around didn't think much of it. Qiuqiu had won first in the street cat group, so the attention was understandable. But actually, quite a few people came just for Ah Chou.

Unbeknownst to Shen Luo, Ah Chou's legend had already spread throughout the cat exhibition area!

Everyone knew there was a cat named Ah Chou who chased and fought a little dog—brave like a tiger coming down a mountain! Speed and strength that beat not just cats, but dogs too! Of course, the cat was definitely strikingly ugly in a unique way.

Shen Luo stood nearby while plenty of people took photos of Ah Chou and Qiuqiu, even snapping selfies with them. The two cats had totally become celebrity couple material.

"Um, why was Ah Chou so fierce just now?" a little kid asked with big, adorable eyes, clearly impressed by Ah Chou's fierce show earlier.

Shen Luo sighed, "Because that dog was making a move on his wife."

Everyone around went "Ohhh," understanding now. The rage of a husband defending his wife—well, cat defending his cat—no wonder Ah Chou was so fierce.

"That's his wife? She's really pretty!"

"Yeah, Qiuqiu is Ah Chou's wife, and she just won first place in the beauty contest." Shen Luo felt pretty proud talking about Qiuqiu.

And so the story got twisted a bit—people figured the dog tried to steal Qiuqiu because of her looks, trying to bully her, but Ah Chou turned out to be way tougher than he looked, beating that dog until it ran crying for its mom! It was basically a hero's tale!

"Are they married? Do they have kids?"

"Of course! They've got four kittens, still in the nest!"

"That's awesome! I wanna buy one, can you sell me one?"

Lots of people asked about this. With a mom that pretty and a dad that fierce, their kittens had to be something special, so everyone wanted to know if the babies inherited the good looks and bravery.

Shen Luo shook his head, "My cats aren't for sale. They're all adopted."

"Really?" People were shocked. No cost? That was amazing!

So Shen Luo took the chance to promote his pet hospital a bit, but everyone was still way more interested in Qiuqiu and Ah Chou's kittens. So probably, they'd come just to see the kittens.

Before long, the pedigree group results came out, and the winning cats were brought to this area too. But still, none had the same popularity as the Ah Chou couple.

When the interaction time ended, it was already past six. Shen Luo took the two cats back to his stall, where two people were waiting with big smiles.

"Boss, all the little biscuits sold out today!"

Shen Luo saw the empty table, surprised and happy. "Business was that good?"

Zheng Jiamei nodded, "Of course! Those little biscuits smell amazing, they attract cats and dogs from all around. Once they get here, they just can't leave, so of course they sell fast!"
