Novel Bin Chapter 121: Unfollowing Her
After all, Moonlight had this disease originally. Nobody could guarantee he was completely cured even after a week of medical treatment.
Liu Man especially bought a cat cage just for this and put Moonlight in it. She reached out to pet his head, “Sorry, but you’ll have to stay in here for a month.”
Maybe he was afraid of being thrown away again, Moonlight was scared of everything. When Liu Man told him to stay in the cage, he obeyed and cowered in the corner. He didn’t struggle or make any sound, and he stared at her with a subservient look.
Yu Zhan said that Moonlight and Daylight should be about the same size. Normally, male cats would be much larger than female cats, but Moonlight was more than one size smaller than Daylight. Long-term malnutrition affected his development.
But it didn’t matter; Liu Man sold cat food! Her cat food at home would never be finished!
Moonlight had quite a big appetite. With the same amount of half a bowl of cat food, Daylight could only eat half of each meal, while moonlight could eat all of it. Liu Man believed that, with such an appetite, Moonlight would be as fat as Daylight soon.
That night, during the live-stream, Liu Man introduced her fans to the newest member in her family. She aimed the camera at Moonlight, who was in the cage,
“This is Moonlight. He’s a stray cat that I’ve just taken in.”
All the cat fans were excited:
“Ah, sis now has a new kitty!”
“This cat’s eyes are so pretty.”
“But he looks so thin.”
“There’s no fur on his pelt.”
“It feels like Daylight is much more invigorated than him. He looks so pitiful.”
“Didn’t you guys hear the live-streamer explain that he’s a stray cat? Has anyone seen a stray cat that’s fat?”
“Sis, why are you keeping this cat in a cage? That’s really immoral.”
Princess Man didn’t have the time to explain before “Peach is a fairy” commented, “You guys don’t know? It’s common sense. Whenever new pets come into a house, they would always be quarantined from original pets. No matter if it’s a cat, dog, or some other animal, it would be risky if some kind of disease from a new pet spreads onto the other pet.
“Mhm. My second cat was also kept in a cage for a month before I let it out.” — I’m Tingting
“It’s obvious that this cat has a skin infection, or else all the fur wouldn’t be shaved. There’s even some traces of medicine on some places of his pelt.” — Big Faced Cat
“From his green eyes and that silvery-white tails with black circles, he seems to be a pure silver-shade. He probably got the disease after its past owner gave it up.” — Pancake
TL Note: Hey, that’s kind of like my dog, Simba! We adopted him a few months ago (He’s about 1) and he also has a skin infection. His past owner probably also gave up on him… He’s a Chinese Garden dog. — Puppxteer
The experienced fans all stood up to explain for Princess Man.
Liu Man did not explain too much to the fans about where Moonlight came from. Everyone thought she probably conveniently met a stray cat on the streets that happened to be a pure breed and had a skin disease when they heard her say Moonlight was a stray cat. They also thought she probably took him in when she saw how pitiful he seemed.
“Princess is such a good person.”
“Last time, a cat kept on following me in my compound. Unfortunately, my parents don’t allow me to have pets. This stray cat’s very lucky to be able to meet sis.”
“Sis is such a good person, and she will receive what she deserves as a reward.”
“Daylight will have some company in the future!”
“Since Daylight is now no longer single, what about vet god’s Paul?”
“Paul will just have to return to his single status. (Doge Smile)”
“I always thought Daylight and Paul are lovers! Moonlight is a third wheel!”
“Daylight and Moonlight are the ones from the same species. Cross-species breeding will have no good results.”
“Yeah. Daylight and Moonlight. These names really match! They are also both British Shorthairs, so they’re a perfect match.”
…
The fans gradually got off-topic, and everyone was getting more excited as they chatted. Abruptly, a comment from one of the audience interrupted the peaceful atmosphere.
“There are stray cats everywhere on the street, and most of them are Chinese garden cats. Why doesn’t the live-streamer adopt Chinese garden cats, but specifically selects abandoned purebred cats to take in? Does she secretly show contempt for garden cats, dislike them, or admire pure breeds from other countries since they seem more popular and prettier? People who really love cats should treat every cat equally, and they won’t discriminate against them because of their breeds. I don’t think the live-streamer is such a good person. You just use cats to attract fans and increase your popularity, and you want to reach your purpose of selling cat food to make money.”
Because Princess Man seriously affected the interests of fake cat food dealers, there were spammers lurking in her live-stream all the time. They would come out to feel their presence oftenly when she wasn’t paying attention.
Peach is a fairy directly kicked this person from the live-stream.
“He’s just someone who wants to cause conflicts.”
“Live-streamer, continue and ignore him.”
Although most fans supported Princess Man, some fans still approved the spammer’s comment inside. They started suspecting Princess Man’s actions.
“Live-streamer, you should treat all cats equally.”
“Why did you want to keep cats? Did you only want to take the advantage of cats so you can advertise yourself?”
“Are you really a cat lover? Since you’ve earned so much money, why don’t you take a Chinese garden cat in?”
Every negative commenter was immediately kicked by the four admins before they could further develop their points.
Princess Man’s stream room was always popular, she has never lost a fan before. But, after the live-stream, the data showed that she lost more than 3k fans.
Her subscriber count went back to 110k+.
The admins only kicked about 10 people, why on earth was there a 3k lost?
Liu Man couldn’t figure out why these people were bashing on her. Was it because they didn’t like Moonlight as a cat, or did they dislike the fact that she adopted a stray cat?
After such a drop in fans, Princess Man’s fans also found out, they all comforted her in the WeiBo comments.
“These people are fake fans, it doesn’t matter if they leave.”
“Maybe the spammers left themselves.”
“Spammers aren’t going to give up easily, their mission is to defame the streamer. There is no way they left.”
“These people are so dumb about fussing all over a stray cat. No matter if Princess adopts a Garden cat or a purebred, aren’t they all just cats? Accusing Princess of not adopting a Garden cat is ridiculous. Well, I have some questions to ask them: Have they ever adopted a stray cat? Or even just preparing food for them?”
“That’s right, all they do is talk, at least the streamer made actual action to help a stray cat.”
“A bunch of idiots, that’s all.”
…
These fans also unsubscribed on Princess Man’s WeiBo, arguing:
“I unsubscribed because I didn’t agree with the actions Princess Man took. Does every single negative comment in the streaming room have to count as spammers?”
“I think the streamer had a corrupt motivation, she’s probably using this to show how kind and compassionate she is. She’s taking advantage of her fan’s sympathy to attract popularity, also raising the sales on her cat food.”
