Chapter 103: All good things must come to an end, we'll meet again someday

“It’s alright, you little cat, go back to sleep.” The old man in the baseball cap said when he saw this.

Li Li had just lifted his head when he plopped back down with a “thud”.

“Teacher, where are we going now?” Liang Tiantian, who was following behind the middle-aged man, asked nervously.

“Let’s go talk to the Animal Protection Club you mentioned first. Then I’ll arrange for someone to liaise with you. You’ll just need to handle the layout of the cat cafe and dog cafe.” The middle-aged man replied, taking out his glasses and putting them on the bridge of his nose.

“Dean……” Liang Tiantian was stunned when she saw this.

“Yes, it’s me.” Dean W*ng nodded and sighed, “You little girl sure know how to find me work, but my colleagues actually think it’s a good idea.”

“I didn’t do it on purpose……” Hearing this, Liang Tiantian’s eyes instantly welled up with tears.

It’s over, she offended the Dean of all people. There’s no way she can avoid trouble now. Is fate against her?

“Alright, hold back your tears. Don’t cry next to me, people will misunderstand.”

“I’m not blaming you, and your proposal is actually quite good.”

Dean W*ng’s headache intensified. A female student crying beside him, the Dean, if word got out…… He wouldn’t be able to explain himself even with eight mouths.

He’d had enough bad luck for one day, no need for more.

“Really, Dean?” Liang Tiantian asked cautiously.

“Yes.” Seeing Liang Tiantian’s face change faster than the weather, Dean W*ng nodded, swallowing his frustrations.

“Then what should we do, Dean?” Liang Tiantian asked happily after receiving confirmation.

“As I just said, we’ll start with the Animal Protection Club.” Dean W*ng repeated helplessly.

“Oh, oh, I’ll lead the way then, Dean.” Liang Tiantian said, guiding Dean W*ng towards the dining hall.

“Meow~（Haven’t these grandpas caught any fish yet? Ahhh~）”

The setting sun cast its rays upon the earth, painting the trees and the lake a golden hue.

Li Li, waking up to the quiet surroundings, yawned.

He hadn’t heard the pitiful sound of fish flipping over. If he wasn’t mistaken, the grandpas’ buckets should be empty except for water.

As the sun was about to set, the three of them were still there, enjoying the lake breeze.

Li Li decided to help them out, to let them experience the feeling of catching a fish.

“Is the little cat awake? Are you hungry?” The grandpa wearing glasses asked, stroking Li Li’s round head. He then opened a can of food and placed it in front of Li Li. Ŕ

Li Li, who had just woken up and was still a bit drowsy, instantly perked up at the sight of the food, shoveling the canned food into his mouth.

“Meow~（Grandpa, you’re a good person! I’ll come back after I finish this. After I finish, I’ll let you catch a big fish.）” Li Li said as he ate.

“Little cat, eat slowly, don’t choke.” The grandpa chuckled, stretching his neck to see if there was any movement on the lake surface. Finding none, he retracted his gaze and continued to pet Li Li.

“Meow~（Work after a full meal! Watch me get you some fish!）” Li Li, having finished the canned food in a few bites, stretched and jumped onto the stone railing.

“Little cat, come back! Don’t fall down! You naughty little thing!”

“Yeah, come down quickly. Be careful or you’ll fall in and the fish will bite your tail.”

The grandpas holding fishing rods said, getting ready to pull Li Li down.

But the next second, their fishing rods all started moving at the same time.

“I…… I have a fish!” The grandpa in the baseball cap exclaimed, feeling the vibration of the fishing rod in his hand.

“Me too!”

“Me too!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The other two grandpas chimed in, and the three of them began to reel in their lines, afraid that the fish on the hook would escape.

“Meow~（Little fishies, come over here! There’s lots of delicious food here!）” Li Li muttered, looking at the lake surface. Underneath, many fish were huddled together, frantically biting at the bait.

The water surface instantly bubbled like boiling water.

Seeing this, Li Li nodded with satisfaction:

“Meow~（That’s enough fish, enough for these grandpas to fish for a while.）”

“Meow~（I should head to the dining hall and see if my cat food is ready.）”

Li Li jumped off the railing, glanced at the three grandpas who were happily reeling in their catches, and then left with small steps.

From the current situation, the three grandpas were busy casting and reeling, and probably wouldn’t have time to bother with him. It was the perfect time to leave.

“Splash!”

“Splash!”

One fish, two fish, splashed in the buckets, and the smiles on the faces of the three grandpas never faded.

They never expected to catch so many fish today, one after another.

“Meow~（That’s strange. They said they’d make cat food here, but there’s no one around.）” Li Li, pawing at the window, looked at the busy chefs inside with confusion.

They used to make cat food here, why was there no one inside now?

Oh well, no one is here, so be it.

It was getting late anyway, he should head back to the old residential complex and ask Auntie for food. She was probably about to move, he just didn’t know where she was moving to.

Thinking this, Li Li jumped down from the window and ran towards the distant wall.

“Little ones, Auntie is moving. Do you want to come with Auntie?” In the old residential complex, Auntie asked the gathered cats downstairs.

After she left, she didn’t know if anyone would feed these little ones. If they were willing, they could go with her.

She had already found a house in the countryside, and the cats could live with her there.

Hearing this, the cats looked at each other.

“Mom, are you really planning to take this whole gang of cats back? Won’t that keep you busy all day?”

“Yeah, Mom, it’s fine for you to go live in the countryside. But you don’t have to take them all with you, right?” The couple, looking at the cats, chimed in. So many cats, how troublesome! How could Mom take care of them all?

“If I don’t take the cats back, wouldn’t I be bored to death at home? Besides, I’ve given you the newly allocated apartment in the city. Who I take back is none of your business, old woman.” Auntie said, stroking the long-haired cat with the yin-yang face, “Sweet Potato, will you come with Auntie? Auntie will take good care of you, and make sure you have a happy life.”

“Meow~（Okay, okay.）” Sweet Potato, hearing this, rubbed against Auntie’s hand.

With one cat taking the lead, the rest of the cats gathered around.

Seeing this, Auntie was very happy. She stroked the cats’ heads one by one, “You are all such good children! Auntie will have someone send cages over. We’ll all go live in the countryside.”

“The mountains and rivers are beautiful there, the air is fresh, and there’s plenty of space. You little ones will love it.”

“Mom, are you really taking them all back?”

“Yeah, Mom, our car isn’t that big.”

Seeing that their mother didn’t seem to be joking, the couple continued.

“I don’t need you two to send me, old woman. I may be old, but I’m not senile.”

“I’ll order a ride myself and have the driver take me and the little ones to the countryside. You two should move your things to your new home first.” Auntie said, grabbing a handful of cat food from the bag and putting it into the iron bowl.

“Alright, then we’ll move our things back first and come see you later, Mom.” The woman said, pulling her husband.

Since her mother-in-law was willing to leave the newly allocated apartment in the city to them and go back to the countryside, she could take as many cats as she wanted.

Anyway, they didn’t have to raise the cats. The most important thing was that she didn’t have to live with her mother-in-law, which was a great thing for her.

“Then we’ll go to our new home with the movers, Mom.” The man added.

“Go, go, just go if you have things to do, don’t mind me, old woman.” Auntie waved her hand and sat down, petting the cats.

“Meow~（Looks like I came back just in time.）” Li Li, watching the couple leave, muttered and walked quickly to Auntie.

Auntie, who was petting the other cats, was pleasantly surprised to see Li Li, “You little fatty, where have you been these days? Auntie was so worried!”

“Meow~（Don’t worry, Auntie, I’m fine, see?）” Li Li replied, rubbing against Auntie’s hand and making his way to the food bowl to eat.

“You little fatty are really greedy, but Auntie is going back to the countryside tomorrow. You might not see Auntie again after that.” Auntie said, stroking Li Li’s head and tail, “Fatty, do you want to go back to the countryside with Auntie? The other cats are all willing to go back with Auntie.”

“Meow~（Auntie, you’re going back to the countryside directly?）” Li Li, who was eating, froze. This news was too sudden! He wasn’t prepared at all.
