“Meow?”
(Go out and play?)
The black cat tilted her head. Only then did she remember that today was the weekend and Luo Yunzhi would not be going to Sister Li’s place.
So there was quite a lot of time left.
She looked at the girl. She seemed able to see fatigue in the girl’s eyes.
This was normal. After all, quite a few things had happened in a short period of time.
And if they went out to play…… the other party should also be able to relax a little, right?
Always being so suppressed was not good either. She might break at this rate.
Bai Ziyu decided to agree.
“Meow.”
(Sure.)
The black cat lightly leaped up. Like a little spirit, she nimbly jumped to the ground.
Then with a few more steps, she slipped into the backpack.
This was Luo Yunzhi’s backpack. There were no books inside anymore.
Whenever they went out, the black cat would consciously crawl in here and let the girl carry her.
This could also be considered half a cat nest.
Although it was not very comfortable.
People always said that after the rain came clear skies. After the heavy rain, the weather had become very good.
The sun above shone warmly on their bodies without being scorching.
Occasionally, a breeze would blow past, bringing the scent of flowers.
The air was fresh and no longer carried the smell of car exhaust. Green leaves also fluttered down.
Luo Yunzhi chose a path with few people. Looking around, she could not see anyone passing by.
There were many trees here. It almost felt like some kind of park.
The black cat poked her head out from the backpack.
She felt somewhat puzzled.
“Meow?”
(Where are we going?)
“Meow.”
(I’ve never been here before.)
Luo Yunzhi’s direction seemed to have a purpose from the start.
Bai Ziyu simply lay there and followed along. After all, she had barely gone far from home before.
Her time as a stray had not been very long. If she were to connect the paths into lines, it would not even cover ten football fields.
As for where to play in this city, she did not understand either.
The black cat let out a yawn.
She stretched out her paw.
She swatted away a leaf.
A green leaf swayed and swayed…… and directly fell onto Luo Yunzhi’s head.
The edge of the green leaf curled up, making the girl look somewhat comical.
Sunlight from above filtered through the treetops, scattering the gaps of shadow onto her shoulders. She walked slowly.
The shadows seemed to merge with the broken light.
Bai Ziyu shrank her body. She simply jumped out of the backpack and ran to the top of the girl’s head.
The fallen leaf was knocked away. This place now belonged to her.
Luo Yunzhi’s footsteps stopped. Feeling the weight on her head, she continued forward.
However, the corners of her mouth lifted into a slightly delighted smile.
The black cat’s body was not very heavy.
So it was fine.
“Xiao Bai, we’re here.”
“Meow?”
Perhaps because the weather was too good and the sunlight felt especially warm on her body, the black cat comfortably fell asleep right there.
When she was woken up by Luo Yunzhi’s voice, Bai Ziyu opened her eyes in a daze.
The other party’s meaning was probably that they had arrived at their destination?
The black cat thought to herself. But…… was it an illusion?
The sounds around her were so noisy. It was as if there were a great many animals gathering here.
She casually turned her gaze.
But she suddenly froze.
That was not an illusion at all. Not far away, quite a few cats and dogs were playing and roughhousing. They chased each other and tumbled onto the grass.
This really was a park. It was just that it was probably a park for pets to play in.
The pets were playing around while their owners watched from farther away.
They leaned against the railing and occasionally chatted.
They praised how cute someone else’s cat or dog was, and then talked about their own with obvious pride in their tone.
The sounds of cats and dogs barking and meowing never stopped.
It was a little noisy.
“Meow.”
(……)
If she had to be honest, at this moment Bai Ziyu felt somewhat speechless.
She probably also understood Luo Yunzhi’s purpose in coming here.
It was because the black cat was a cat. And animals, of course, made friends with other animals.
A pet park like this was unexpectedly very suitable for house pets.
But the problem was…… she never thought of herself as a cat. It was just that the current situation forced her to be one.
Why would she foolishly play with pets?
The black cat shrank back into the backpack.
She had no interest at all.
“Huh? You don’t like it?”
“Meow.”
(I don’t like it at all.)
Luo Yunzhi froze. She seemed to have noticed the black cat’s dissatisfaction. She felt somewhat helpless.
“Xiao Bai, you have to make friends.”
“Otherwise you’ll become a shut-in cat.”
She brought the backpack from her back to her front and unzipped it so that the black cat’s body could be seen as well.
The girl’s expression was very serious.
“I saw on the internet that if pets don’t make friends, after a long time they might develop depressive emotions.”
“You don’t understand what depression means, right?”
“Depression is…… um.”
Luo Yunzhi did not finish her sentence. Because the black cat had already extended her paw to cover the girl’s mouth.
If she did not stop her, the girl would probably keep talking forever.
Although what the other party said was not wrong. If a pet stayed lonely for too long, it really was not good for their health.
But the problem was that she was not actually a real pet.
However, the black cat could not say that.
She felt slightly annoyed.
“Meow.”
(Fine. Then let’s go.)
“Meow.”
(I really have no choice.)
Bai Ziyu sighed. She jumped to the ground and walked directly toward the pet park not far away. Otherwise, Luo Yunzhi would probably start lecturing again.
The black cat thought quietly to herself.
If any pets came over to play with her later, she would just reject them. After rejecting all of them…
The girl should understand that she did not want to play.
Then she would take her home, right? Even in the worst case, she could at least go home and lie down.
Playing and roughhousing with pets?
That was too strange.
The black cat did not walk very fast. And every step was almost as if it had been measured. Standard and refined, filled with an elegant air.
Sunlight fell on her body, making her smooth fur change colors like a rainbow.
It made people unable to look away once they saw it.
Luo Yunzhi chuckled lightly and obediently followed behind.
At the same time, she was also looking forward to seeing which little animal would become Xiao Bai’s first “friend.”
A cat or a dog?
It should be a cat, right?
After all, the black cat was a cat…… And between the same species, they should be able to accept each other more easily.
The girl looked up and then saw the black cat walking toward the group of cats.
So it really was like that. She was not surprised.
It seemed she had already been able to predict that her Xiao Bai would be getting close with that group of cats.
And even in the worst case, at least sniffing each other would be fine, right?
Xiao Bai was so well-behaved. If she went over there to make friends, there definitely would not be any accidents.
Probably…… right?
Luo Yunzhi was actually a little nervous.
She could not say for sure.
“Xiao Bai can be pretty violent sometimes.”
She suddenly remembered how the black cat had hit people and dogs before.
Although she had not tested it with other cats yet.
The girl shook her head. Her footsteps unconsciously quickened to catch up with the black cat. If a fight broke out, she had to immediately go over and stop it.
Otherwise she would have to pay medical fees.
Moreover, the black cat had only just recovered. She could not get injured.
What if that group of cats ganged up on her?
Luo Yunzhi stared without blinking.
She kept her eyes on the black cat.
“Meow.”
(This is really troublesome.)
“Meow.”
(This kind of thing.)
The black cat complained.
