If only there was enough time...
If she didn't let these elves break into the dream...
Zhuang Xiaodie felt deeply humiliated and filled with frustration and remorse, as well as some other complex emotions.
Zhang Zian picked up the birdcage. ”I know that some people who find sick or injured cats outdoors will take care of them, but stray cats may have been abused or harmed by humans. They will never be able to get close to any human and will always keep their distance... This is not the cat's fault. Even human beings who are hurt when they are young will have a shadow of that abuse. This is its self-protecting instinct, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't like you if it does not get close to you. It is merely choosing to express its like for you in another manner.”
”In addition, do all the things that you want to do come in conflict with me chasing cats? When I get it back, if you want to go to those places, I will definitely accompany you,” Zhang Zian said softly. ”But now, I am going to get it back in case it falls into the hands of the cat abuser. Or do you want to go with me?”
She shook her head in disappointment. ”If you go chasing cats now, you don't have to do the other things.”
This was no different than a final warning from her.
Zhang Zian seemed to smile unconsciously and waved. ”I believe we will meet again.”
Looking at him carrying the birdcage into the back of the alley, she stood alone, not knowing where to go.
She didn't understand what he was thinking. Under normal circumstances, there would never be a man who refused to abandon a cat and left a blind date. But if he already knew that the cat was not a normal cat, but one that he was deeply connected to... If he already knew, why not just make it clear?
Since the black-and-white kitten had already run away, her communication with the butterfly was no longer obstructed. She did not need to follow him personally to know his every move.
Zhang Zian ran to the end of the alley and saw the black-and-white kitten sitting not far away, as if waiting for him.
”Hey! Is there anything here?” He raised his hand to say hello, and his body, which lacked exercise was aching slightly from all that running.
This was a very quiet alley. If they went farther south, they would reach the suburbs where the dog market was. North of the dog market were a few villages. Beyond that, was complete wilderness.
”Meow!” The kitten looked behind him.
”She didn't follow me. Only I am here.” He looked back and saw nothing behind him. ”Although I feel bad for her... In all senses, she should be able to take care of herself, and there is no need for me to worry for her.”
”Meow!”
For this kind of conversation, when it was unable to answer with a nod or shake of its head, the kitten lowered its head and drew on the ground with its claws.
”No, you don't have to be sorry. As this horrible parrot said, she and I probably will not meet further,” he comforted it. ”It is a dream to be able to get along with such a girl for three days. Nothing to regret. She can definitely take care of herself, and I have more important things to do. This was the purpose of bringing me here, right?”
”Meow!”
The kitten suddenly became happy, as if it had regained its vitality, and it turned and ran two steps, then stopped and looked back at him.
”Well, I will follow you.”
He followed the kitten on down the alley, turned into another alley, and walked through it as well.
Knock knock knock!
On a patch of open space at the urban-rural junction, he heard a crisp knocking sound.
”Come on! Look at it! Take a look! If it doesn't look good, I will not take your money! Young and old, all good folk, come to see something new!”
There was someone creating a lot of noise and soon gathered a lot of bystanders around him.
