Zheng Tan waited at the door No one came He scratched the door out of frustration Of, course he didn't scratch his own door, but Qu's door across the hall He stuck his paw through the metal bars and went crazy on the wooden door inside

That otaku Qu Xiangyang was playing coames with headphones on He didn't hear the noise outside When he finally noticed, his door was severely 'scarred'

Zheng Tan waited for nearly an hour before Yi Xin showed up covered in sweat

Yi Xin was busy with his experiot the call from the boss He was told that he should finish his work first However, he knew from past experience, the boss's cat was ill-tempered

Yi Xin darted out the door theoff his lab coat on the way He juht second-hand bike and pedaled as fast as he could while trying to open the cap on his water bottle

When he finally got to the fifth floor where the Jiao family lived, he was not surprised to find thefor him The sound of claws on wood sent the a cold shi+ver down his spine

He looked at the door, then at the look in the cat's eyes and quickly explained his reasons for being late He stressed that this ith the approval of his boss

Zheng Tan didn't want to listen to hi Papa Jiao used to take him into the Health Department

Yi Xin was not surprised by Zheng Tan's actions He was surprised enough the last ti Papa Jiao's instructions, Yi Xin opened the bag

Zheng Tan ju to urge hi with his eyes

Not being able to talk was a huge inconvenience Before, he had little sympathy for the deaf and the mute Now he knew exactly what it felt like After all, most people couldn't read your mind

Yi Xin did not understand the look Zheng Tan gave hi with the cat downstairs He was on flat ground when he remembered that he could have just let the cat walk down by itself

Yi Xin proceeded to bike the two of them to the university hospital

Unfortunately, things could go wrong even with a bike ride

They didn'tTan heard a 'clank' followed by the bike slowing down

Hearing Yi Xin swear, Zheng Tan looked out fro seemed normal Then he looked behind them There, in the middle of road, was a broken chain

'How bad is the bike, that the chain can just break off! Fck!'

They had to wait quite a while for the school shuttle, and it stopped way too often anyways Zheng Tan didn't have the time to wait Take a taxi? Who knehen a taxi would drive through ca Tan didn't knohat he would do if Yi Xin borrowed another bike that broke down half-way to the hospital

Zheng Tan suddenly re Papa Jiao's scooter in the shed when they came downstairs The weather had cooled down recently When tied to work

Yi Xin didn't have a clue what to do He was squatting next to his bike when he saw the black cat jump out the basket

”Hey, why are you running! Wait!” Yi Xin more anxious He could buy another bike, but how could he face the boss if he lost the cat

So Yi Xin left his bike on the side of road and ran after the cat The bike was second-hand anyways Noith a broken chain, it was so worthless that only sanitation workers would touch it No one was going to steal his bike

Zheng Tan ran back to the quarters Back home, he found the other key to the scooter in a corner of the desk drawer He brought the key out, just when a panting Yi Xin caught up with him

Zheng Tan glanced at Yi Xin then jumped onto Papa Jiao's scooter He patted the seat and laid down the keys

Yi Xin: ” ”

Well, it was official The boss's cat was different

The scooter was much more reliable compared to the bike It required less physical work by Yi Xin as well It was great that he didn't need to pedal anyth to do so

Zheng Tan was still dissatisfied A scooter was slow co ti Tan really wished the Jiao family had a car of their own

On the way to the hospital, Zheng Tan took special care tohappened in the future, he would like to count on hi for trouble

Thewas always full of people Yi Xin parked the scooter, then followed the detailed address given by his boss and carried the cat in, hidden in a bag After all, hospitals did not welcoer in

In the elevator, they ran into Papa Jiao, who had come down to buy lunch His expression was caler hoarse and depressed like it was on the phone It seemed that Mama Jiao would be ok

Papa Jiao bought five bentos, the extra one was for Yi Xin

Yi Xin wanted to buy Mama Jiao some fruit When he looked in his pockets, he didn't find anything except a school meal card He left in a hurry and had left his wallet in his jacket
