Chapter 7 The Cat and the Old Residence (2)
The scene was indeed quite uniinable As I continued to walk further into the yard, I saw a lot of tender shoots and flowers It was already September—the summer heat had already passed—yet you could still s
Co around the locust tree, the entrance to the main room of the residence appeared before me The door ide open for me in the same way as if the owner of the residence was solicitously welco me However, I didn't feel any solicitude, instead, it creeped me out
Like all old-style residences, there were porch pillars on both sides of the door A couplet was engraved onto both pillars in Shoujin style The characters were already someorn and indistinct, but one could still barely read it
”For the thousands of tiether or apart, you already left before I even got to know you”
Was this some kind of ancient poetry? I had never heard of it
There was also a wooden plaque hanging right in the center above the doors, but as strange about it was that there was nothing written on it It was just a blank wooden board I pulled h threshold into the room
It was very dark inside I looked closely and found that all curtains were partially drawn The room was very spacious, like sos in this rooave people the illusion that space and tied here

The voice sounded exceptionably familiar, but I could not recall where I had heard it before no h, the gauze curtain was lifted, and a man walked out I was so shocked that I couldn't even close ht!
Thethat dark-colored robe and ahair floating behind him, he seemed like someone who had walked out from a historical drama
He ignored erated reaction Instead, he picked up a teapot fro hot tea into a cup ”Want some tea? I just brewed it, but I don't know if you like bitter chrysanthemum”
He handed the teacup to me as he spoke However, as I subconsciously reached out ers with the tea that splashed out and failed to hold onto the cup The teacup fell on the ground and broke into pieces with a crisp shattering sound
”Ah! So-sorry!” I apologized in a flurry
However, he showed no sign of anger and only gave a helpless expression before he bent over to pick up the fragments of the teacup ”Ah, you're so careless just like always”
”Sorry…” I apologized subconsciously
But the situation didn't seeht, did it? Who was this person after all? Why was he in such a place? Nevertheless, didn't I come in search of the cat? Where was that damn cat?
”Nevermind Sit down and rest awhile” He smiled at me, his eyes curved
