She couldnât help herself and reached out to pat its head.
âMeow~â Meatball had fast reflexes and moved its head away.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mu Xiaoxiao was disappointed. She poked its forehead and harrumphed.
Meatball shook its head.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiaoâs phone rang.
Even though the cat didnât like her, she still felt reluctant to leave, and wanted to continue playing with it.
The little boy glanced at her before snatching up the cat and running away.
Mu Xiaoxiao then took out her phone. After seeing the caller ID, she answered it.
âHello,â her voice sounded a little gloomy.
âWhatâs wrong?â Yin Shaojie had wanted to ask her where she was, but heard something in her voice and changed his question.
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât answer, but asked instead, âAre you done with your work?â
Yin Shaojie said, âNot yet. Youâre not in the classroom, right? Where did you run off to? Didnât you promise me not to run off? Have you gone out of school again?â
âHow did you knowâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao paused before remembering that he had informants in her class, so he would obviously know if she wasnât in class.
âI didnât go out. Iâm in school. I just didnât feel like attending English class. Originally⦠I wanted to go over to the Student Union building to look for you, but after walking for a bit, I found a lost cat, and itâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao was going to relay everything that had happened.
However, Yin Shaojie seemed to be busy, and moved the speaker away to talk to someone before turning back to talk to her again. âCome to the Student Union building. Donât run off again.â
âOkay,â Mu Xiaoxiao answered. He must be busy with a meeting.
Yin Shaojie hung up.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down and kicked the grass beneath her feet before strolling over.
At the Student Union building.
She didnât want to interrupt his meeting and thus sent him a message saying that she was here, before strolling into his office by herself.
Bored, she lay on the sofa and started to play with her phone.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Yin Shaojie finally appeared and entered the office.
âDid something happen just now?â He placed the file in his hands onto the coffee table and squatted before her.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up and crossed her legs.
She pouted as she said, âWhen I was coming over to find you, I met a really cute cat. It was a Scottish Fold! Its eyes were blue, just like a gem. It was so pretty! But it had a bad temper, and it looked like it didnât like me⦠It was so fierce to me but it was different towards⦠boys. I think itâs a female.â
Yin Shaojie laughed when he heard her description. âIt might be. So youâre upset because it refused to play with you?â
He knew that she liked little animals, especially cats.
Just then, the boy who had followed Yin Shaojie in said pleasingly, âMu Xiaoxiao, if you like Scottish Folds, I know someone whose Scottish Fold is pregnant, and is about to give birth. If you want, I can get her to gift one to you.â
âItâs alright,â said Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head as well. âYeah, I donât want one, thank you.â
The boy scratched the back of his head awkwardly, âOh, I see. If you want one someday, let me know.â
