Zheng Tan didn't know if every year six brat had that conflicting psychology, at least Jiao Yuan did Little rascals always had mysterious excitements and worries Just like what Papa Jiao had said, they were about to hit puberty

Ah, children in puberty…

If that was true, then after entering er be considered as a kid He would belong to the category of ”young man” Yes, he could probably find some ”adult” book in Jiao Yuan's room in the future

Zheng Tan huddled on the couch The tip of his tails gently swayed as he watched Jiao Yuan and Youzi leave the house Marocery shopping after dropping off the kids

Zheng Tan didn't go out for the past few days in daylight The campus was filled with people; it was extremely lively After the new students had reported to the university, the school that had reain

Zheng Tan didn't want to saunter outside at a ti Tan had adjusted his lifestyle for the first week of school He slept at ho supper

The past few nights of staking out allowed Zheng Tan to gain an understanding of the tattooed h He musthim for several ti, there were still sos not found

Zheng Tan napped on the couch for a while When he woke up, he realized that it was only nine thirty in thewith soain

Stretching out, Zheng Tan looked out theThe sun shi+ned bright, but the temperature re dense puffer jackets

Bored and unable to sleep, Zheng Tan decided that he o for a walkabout

Tiger had beco Tan had often seen Tiger lying asleep on his balcony His head peeped slightly through the railings of the balcony and his tail swung outside, occasionally swaying as if he was afraid that others didn't knoas sleeping there Luckily, the gaps between the railings were not wide, Tiger wouldn't fall through fro

As for Sheriff, its family had chained it at ho the new year period that were catching cats illegally After several cats fro, Sheriff, who had always roamed outside, was compelled to not leave the house, even if it made the earth tremble with its calls

Without the more freedom and at ease alone

After an exercise of clih the unpopulated forest There weren'tthe ca the side of the lanes no longer appeared bleak, perhaps because the caained some popularity

Zheng Tan wandered aileamed on the furs on his body It made it warm and fluffy, and very comfortable

Zheng Tan's eyes squinted as he enjoyed the pleasant sunlight Suddenly, he heard so his name

Looking towards the source of the voice, Zheng Tan saw a figure wearing a long and loose fur parka standing on the other side of the flower bed and waving at him

Zhuo?

Zheng Tan changed his direction and headed towards Zhuo

Co Tan had seen her, Zhuo's sto loose winter clothes couldn't cover up the bulging curve

Zhuo had a bag in her hands, and inside the bag was a book It looked new, ate of the university

”What are you doing here?” Zhuo looked at Zheng Tan and said She bent her back and extended her hand to gently touch Zheng Tan's forehead

Despite knowing that in front of her was a cat which can't talk, Zhuo still asked as an involuntary habit

Those people who spent a lot of ti when they see other ani their cries

Zheng Tan was soht of that belly, ould you do if so happened? She bent her back with a little difficulty just by the looks of it Besides, wasn't it said that pregnant women avoided cats at any cost because of the problem of toxoplasmosis?

Taking a look at his surroundings, Zheng Tan realized that he had unconsciously approached the roundabouts of the western resident courtyard So Zhuo had spent this period of ti in the western courtyard?

”Coo to my place?” Zhuo took two steps then stepped a foot and turned to look at Zheng Tan, a little anticipated

Zheng Tan stood unht, it had been a while since his cold was healed, as for the problem of toxoplasmosis… He probably didn't have it? He appeared to be quite healthy and bathed often He had slept daily in the sa fine, there was probably nothing that could contaminate Zhuo

After a slight hesitation, Zheng Tan looked at the hopeful eyes of Zhuo and strode

Noticing that Zheng Tan had followed her, Zhuo's face ins of happiness She walked ahead while talking to Zheng Tan about the things that occurred in the previous months

Zhuo didn't usually talk to people There was only a handful whom she could speak with However, Zhuo wouldn't tell theht away She was still reserved towards people, but to cats, it was different

People could talk to soical sentihts more easily This was a way of catharsis Many people owned pets for this reason

It became inconvenient for Zhuo to er She needed to recuperate ”Buddha” orried about Zhuo running around every day Just as it happened that the allocation of ownershi+p for the new building in the western courtyard had begun, ”Buddha” gave Zhuo the household that belonged to her

People like ”Buddha” were already fale house If it was usual, ”Buddha” wouldn't even fight with other teachers over it, but for Zhuo, ”Buddha” did

Just a single sentence from ”Buddha”, and others would have to move aside

This ti around outdoors in the western courtyard During working hours, there were only some scattered few in the courtyard that could be seen

The houses on this side of the western courtyard were very new Sos in the eastern area, but looked much more luxurious in the exterior and looked fashi+onable in appearance The greenery was alright, but definitely not as good as the eastern side Although the architectural design was very brilliant, Zheng Tan was still not quite used to it

Perhaps he had gotten used to the old houses in the eastern courtyard Facing these spectacular new buildings, Zheng Tan felt so

Zheng Tan recalled the tis by the eastern yard had japanese creepers that climbed all over The nearby trees had flourished, and sorape trellis at the corner of the courtyard At dusk, so the brown spotted ba freely

Some said that old was a sentiment, that was true Tienerations of co emotions that sedimented This was probably the reason why those old professors would still live happily in that old house that was not big

After living in the eastern yard for a while, Zheng Tan had finally felt the serenity in such simplicity

Zhuo didn't live in those houses that Zheng Tan sahen entering the residential quarters; it was deeper in

The western resident courtyard was er than the eastern courtyard, so other than the front door, there were also some side doors
