"I'm telling you this, aren't I? I would never say these things in front of other people..."
On the other side, Shen Wuqiu went upstairs and went straight to make the bed in the guest room. After making the bed, she hid in the room and played on her phone for half an hour before returning to her own room.
Gu Lingyu, who was in her room, didn't treat herself as a guest at all. She lay on her bed, swinging her legs and looking at her tablet.
"Your room is ready, you can sleep there tonight."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyu showed great surprise, and also a hint of grievance, "Sister, aren't you going to sleep with me?"
Shen Wuqiu, feeling guilty, said, "I'm not used to sleeping with people."
Liar, liar, you've been hugging yourself so tightly and sleeping so soundly these past few nights.
Gu Lingyu buried her face in the blanket and mumbled an "oh".
"It's getting late. You've walked such a long way today, you must be tired. Go and get some rest."
Gu Lingyu looked up at her, "My sister doesn't like me."
She realized she had gone too far in turning away the guest, and Shen Wuqiu, embarrassed, didn't look at her. "No, I'm just tired too..."
Gu Lingyu rolled her eyes twice before lazily getting up and walking towards the door. Shen Wuqiu quickly wrapped her in a bath towel and led her to the guest room next door.
Having successfully gotten rid of the person from her room, Shen Wuqiu didn't feel relieved. Standing at the guest room door, she made conversation, asking, "By the way, have you had dinner? Are you hungry?"
Gu Lingyu lowered her eyes, refusing to look at her, and said, "It's none of your business."
Young girls can be quite temperamental.
Shen Wuqiu didn't take it to heart and wanted to say something more, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the hot-tempered person slammed the door shut.
"..." Shen Wuqiu blinked at the closed door, stood there for several seconds, and then went back to her room.
A stray cat is a god, a stray person is also a god.
I guess this is fate.
As Shen Wuqiu lay on her bed thinking this, she heard a cat meowing. She quickly held her breath and listened intently. After confirming that it was indeed a cat meowing outside the window, she sprang to the window in a few quick steps, pulled back the curtains and the screen, and the familiar white fur ball jumped towards her.
A note from the author:
Kitten: Stop rushing us, stop rushing us, we're getting ready to be reincarnated.
Love you all, muah!
Chapter 21 Cat Moss
Having experienced the unease and panic of loss, Shen Wuqiu no longer cared whether the white cat, who had run away all day, was dirty or not, and took the initiative to reach out and hug her tightly.
"Meow~" The white cat was like a child who had been wronged outside and came back to whine to its mother. It put its two front paws on Shen Wuqiu's two shoulders, buried its fluffy little head in the crook of her shoulder, and made a humming sound like it was coming from its nose.
It's so sticky it touches people's hearts.
Shen Wuqiu's heart melted instantly. How could she bear to scold this little rascal who had gotten so carried away by the wild cat? She subconsciously stroked the white cat's back and said, "Alright, alright, we're home."
"Meow~" The white cat rubbed against her shoulder, then stuck out its little tongue and tentatively licked her cheek. Seeing that she did not refuse, it continued to lick.
Seeing that the white cat was getting more and more excited with its licking, Shen Wuqiu had no choice but to hug her and create some distance between them. "Just a little bit of tofu is enough. Are you getting addicted to it?"
Meow~
Shen Wuqiu ignored her coquettishness, held her up and looked her over before taking out a small towel specially for white cats, wiping her down, and then putting the white cat on the bed.
"I don't know how you got back. It's raining so hard outside, but you're barely wet..."
The white cat listened intently to her self-talk, and at the end, it curled up its little paws together, curled up into a ball on the bed, and became as quiet as a chicken.
She suddenly fell silent, which puzzled Shen Wuqiu. He stroked her furry head and asked, "Is something wrong?" After a pause, he thought of another possibility, "Or... you've been chasing wild cats all day and you're exhausted?"
Upon hearing this, the white cat immediately bristled, raised its head, and meowed at her in dissatisfaction.
"Oh, you can't say anything?" Since the little ancestor was still so energetic, Shen Wuqiu wasn't worried anymore. Besides, after the joy of "reunion after a long separation" had passed, she started to bring up the past. "Since you've become my cat, you have to follow my rules. If you dare to disappear for a whole day again, I won't want you anymore."
The white cat's arrogance vanished instantly, and it buried its head in its paws, feigning death.
Looking at her like this, Shen Wuqiu was angry but couldn't vent it, and even wanted to laugh a little. "Forget it, I guess you can't control yourself. I'll just have you sterilized to save you trouble."
The white cat was too lazy to express its anger about the same old story. It glanced at her and then continued to play dead.
Even sterilization couldn't scare this little devil?
Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. Her nose and eyes were clean, and she hadn't sneezed or shown any of the common symptoms of illness in cats.
Shen Wuqiu pondered for a moment, "Are you hungry?"
The white cat perked up, meowing.
Shen Wuqiu perked up and immediately prepared to go downstairs to make cat food for her. When she reached the top of the stairs, she turned a corner and knocked on the guest room door. "Are you asleep?"
He knocked three times, but there was no response from inside. Shen Wuqiu guessed that the little girl couldn't sleep, so he didn't ask any more questions and went downstairs to cook for the cat.
Su Yunzhi was helping Mr. Shen towards the bedroom when she heard the noise and stopped. "Aren't you asleep yet?"
"Mm." Shen Wuqiu nodded, then looked at her father, "The cat is back. She's probably been hungry all day. I'll get her something to eat."
"This is really something," Su Yunzhi muttered, then quickly added, "There's fresh beef and river fish in the fridge."
Shen Wuqiu pretended not to hear her grumbling, said goodnight to the two of them, and went to the kitchen.
Before getting a cat, Shen Wuqiu didn't know anything about cats' eating habits. After getting a cat, she became very skilled at it.
The white cat is a picky eater; its favorite food is fish.
As usual, Shen Wuqiu cooked her fish paste. Remembering that her little darling had been eating meat for many days, she added some cat grass to the paste.
The white cat was really hungry; it licked the bowl of meat paste clean.
After eating and drinking its fill, the white cat lay on its back on the bed, exposing its belly.
After tidying up, Shen Wuqiu also got into bed. Seeing the white cat's satisfied look, she felt quite accomplished and stroked the white cat's belly gently.
As she touched it, she realized something felt off, so she quickly sat up and carefully examined the bumpy area.
Hidden in the soft fur was a tiny bump. Shen Wuqiu stared at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was, so she opened Baidu again.
After searching for five minutes, Shen Wuqiu finally found a picture that looked somewhat similar to the small bumps on the white cat's body.
Ringworm in cats?
Shen Wuqiu clicked on the picture and zoomed in. The more she looked at it, the more it resembled the cat. She panicked and quickly sat up, carefully searching the entire cat's body.
Just as Baidu said, ringworm in cats usually occurs in more than one place; she found eight on her belly!
Isn't ringworm supposed to grow most easily on the ears, neck, and limbs? Why does her cat only have it on its belly, and it's so symmetrical?
Shen Wuqiu stared at the white cat's belly, lost in thought. After a while, she picked up her phone again.
After checking again, she breathed a sigh of relief, but was also ashamed and indignant at her own ignorance.
So she vented her shame and anger on the white cat, saying, "As a female cat, don't you think your breasts are ridiculously small?"
Meow~
"What's the use of having quantity alone?"
Meow~
Faced with the white cat's calm, deep blue eyes, Shen Wuqiu finally gave in first, pretending to yawn, "Same as always, sleep obediently at the head of the bed."
After saying that, Shen Wuqiu climbed into her own bed and quickly turned off the light. The thought of mistaking the white cat's paws for ringworm made Shen Wuqiu feel a little feverish.
It seems that she still has a long way to go in her journey of raising a cat.
~~~~~
I slept well all night.
The next day was still a foggy, rainy day, and Shen Wuqiu, who had a dreamless night, slept until he woke up naturally, which was a rare occurrence.
I woke up feeling completely refreshed.
Indeed, dreaming is tiring, especially those unspeakable dreams.
However, when Shen Wuqiu got up and stretched, she noticed her slightly neat pajamas and felt a little strange.
Isn't it said that what you think about during the day, you also dream about during the day?
Now that the person from her dream has appeared in reality, she has stopped dreaming about him.
Realizing what she was thinking, Shen Wuqiu quickly rubbed her face, muttering as she did so, "Eighteen years old, eighteen years old..."
After clearing his mind of these strange thoughts, Shen Wuqiu got up to wash up.
The white cat ran away again at this time.
Shen Wuqiu was too lazy to search around the room. She took Gu Lingyu's clothes out of the dryer and paused for a moment when her fingers pinched the other girl's panties. The eighteen-year-old girl was indeed childish, actually liking panties embroidered with kittens.
Shen Wuqiu smiled for no reason, wrapped the other person's panties inside the white dress, and took them to the next room.
I knocked several times, but there was still no response from inside the room.
Shen Wuqiu had no choice but to put the clothes back in her room and go downstairs by herself.
She bumped into Shen Wujun at the top of the stairs. "My mom was just about to ask me to go upstairs and call you down for dinner. By the way, I heard from Dad that our cat came back last night, but I didn't see it."
"He ran out again," Shen Wuqiu said as she headed towards the hall.
Shen Wujun followed behind her, "This cat is really interesting, why does it always run out so early in the morning?"
"Just playing around," Shen Wuqiu replied casually. "By the way, how are your preparations going? I've already spoken to a friend, and he said he's preparing to set up a new studio in our provincial capital. If you're interested, you can come."
"Is there also an assessment?"
"Of course. Don't worry about the internship certificate. Although it's a new studio, it's under their company's name. You can just ask the company to issue you an internship certificate."
"Okay, I'll prepare in the next few days."
As they spoke, the two arrived at the hall.
"Qiuqiu, why didn't you call your friend down?"
"She hasn't gotten up yet." After thinking for a moment, Shen Wuqiu added, "She's probably tired from traveling all day last night."
Su Yunzhi quickly said, "Young girls these days are all so delicate. It must have been quite a journey for her to come all the way from the big city. Let her get some more sleep. I'll prepare more for her later."
