Christmas Bonus Chapter
After experiencing the love affair between the former gangster street cat prince Ouji and Black Lightning, Xu Maomao had some understanding of his blue-faced disaster. Just when he was about to raise alarm bells in his heart, he quickly heard Baobao’s tone. Come to think of it, every one of the titles it used was an honorific, and obviously most of them were relating to worship.
“Oh, hello, Baobao,” Xu Maomao asked tentatively, “Are you looking for me to learn to dance too?”
Baobao shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and seemed a little embarrassed: “I’m stupid, I definitely can’t learn…” After saying that, he turned around and ran back to his piled-up coat to rummage through, and pulled out a small package, which he showed to Xu Maomao. Then he opened the package, revealing his belongings inside.
Xu Maomao took a look and saw various stones, glass fragments, plastic sticks, and even a shiny beautiful girl’s magic wand toy?
Baobao said shyly: “Mao Da Da, I am only eighty-eight years old. These are all my precious collections. You see, this is the cat’s eye stone snatched from a monkey in Mount Emei; this is the diamond on a human engagement ring. I don’t quite understand what an engagement ring is, but it seems to be very valuable so I put it away; there is also a magic egg that is said to be able to summon little monsters, but unfortunately I am not knowledgeable enough and cannot use it for the time being…”
It quickly introduced its collection to Xu Maomao, and Xu Maomao had a dark look on his face: “Uh, it’s so beautiful, it sounds so awesome.”
However, the so-called cat’s eye stone was just an ordinary pebble, the diamond was a transparent glass slag, the magic stick was a child’s plastic gold hoop toy, as for the others, the emerald was a green glass slag, and the egg that was said to be able to summon little monsters was a Pokémon prop…
Baobao opened the small package completely. A pair of cat eyes flashed, and the sky was filled with little stars. He asked expectantly: “Which one does the cat immortal like the most?”
Xu Maomao: “…ah?”
Baobao: “If you like them all, I’ll give them all to you.”
Xu Maomao: “I don’t need these. They are all your beloved collections. I don’t want them.”
Baobao looked at him blankly, and said in despair for a while: “Sure enough, my qualifications are too shallow, and I don’t have anything good to show you…”
Brother Cat! If you say that, it will ruin my life!
Xu Maomao quickly and seriously stopped all the honorifics from it, and repeatedly emphasized that he was too young to be able to bear the responsibility of it.
Baobao could only use ordinary cat language, thinking, “This cat immortal is really not a common cat”, so he felt ashamed that his gift was shabby.
What a strange little poor thing, coming all the way to give him a gift? Xu Maomao’s mind was spinning rapidly, as if he understood what difficulties the cat might be in, and quickly comforted him: “It’s okay, do you need my help?”
Baobao hesitated, ashamed because he didn’t have anything he could like, but he had come to him for help. After a while, he mustered up the courage: “Well, it’s very, very presumptuous to say this, but actually I really wanted to come to the city because I need your help.”
“Tell me.”
Baobao took off the pocket watch hanging around his neck, rubbed it cherishingly a few times, and handed it to Xu Maomao. This watch almost never left his body, let alone giving it to someone (a cat).
Xu Maomao took it and took a look. It was a Western pocket watch with a slightly retro style but very well-preserved. It was very exquisite. It was completely different from the other small commodities at first glance. Its low-key and luxurious temperament could be seen from the diamond scales, polishing and… The delicately cut mirror surface also fully exposed its value. But what was even more eye-catching was the small black-and-white portrait inlaid on the dial.
This photo seemed to have been weathered, and the picture quality was also very poor. It was obviously the photography style and graphics of the last dynasty and the Republic of China. It was not as well preserved as the pocket watch itself, but there was no dust or stain on it at all, and it had obviously been carefully restored. The person in the profile picture was a little boy. He looked very young, probably less than ten years old. He was wearing a small suit and tie. The little boy’s face had turned pale due to overexposure, but you could still see that his facial features were regular and cute.
Even Shen Yu came over when he saw the watch. As a well-informed second-generation rich man, he recognized its brand at a glance and whispered: “Patek Philippe watch.”
Baobao was originally very afraid of him, but when he heard what he said, he was surprised and said: “Human, human, do you recognize this thing?”
Because Baobao switched to human language very considerately so Shen Yu understood him. When he reached out to hold it in his hand in order to look at it carefully, Baobao gritted his teeth and handed it to him even though he was reluctant to part with it.
Shen Yu turned over the watch and recognized almost all the handwriting on it. Although it was well preserved, it was an old thing after all, thus some of the handwriting was unclear.
“It is indeed Patek Philippe, and if I remember correctly, this watch is part of the ‘Peace Dove’ series of limited edition watches.”
Xu Maomao asked vulgarly: “Is it valuable?”
“Not bad,” Shen Yu said reservedly, “General models cost more than one million, and if they are limited editions, it depends on the attached meaning.”
More than one million was just not bad! Rich people were really annoying sometimes! He had to write a lot of words to earn so much money!
Shen Yu added: “If it is the ‘Peace Dove’ series, then the current selling price of this watch at that time is at least in the eight digits. Coupled with its year, getting nine digits is also possible. Such collection value watches are not easily lost, little cat, how did you get this watch?”
Baobao had no interest in how much money it could sell for and asked eagerly: “This is what my little master left behind! Human, do you know my little master? I have been looking for him for many years!”
