Chapter 50 (1/2)

Zheng Tan felt that he had been stalked for the past two days

He wasn't sure by who, but that feeling was strong

Zheng Tan followed Papa Jiao's instructions and tried to avoid that Ren guy Lately he had stopped visiting the biology building, on top of that he stopped leaving the courtyard after dark, only going out in daylight when he couldn't resist the urge

Usually he would go out at five in the afternoon and wait for the two kids at the priether Even if he was to go out in the night, it would only be a stroll in the courtyards He wouldn't leave the courtyard, let alone go to the alleyway of the old residential block

The ca daytime since this was not a campus sealed off from the public, so the security checks on those who entered and left the gates were not strict However, Zheng Tan couldn't stop worrying without finding out the reason behind this feeling of being watched

That day, Zheng Tan found a big Chinese parasol tree not far from the eastern courtyard He cliround was soothing just as he expected, his field of vision was much wider

Zheng Tan let out a tired yawn He didn't sleep well last night with all the conte the day

Ma on a project in the field of teaching Jiao Yuan was going to enter junior high school in a few ood ih school teachers so that Jiao Yuan could benefit more at school in the future

Other families all had elderlies or children that had not yet attended kindergartento their hos at the Jiaos' ho around in daylight and when he became tired he would climb a tree and rest there If it rained, he would seek shelter at Fatty's house Either way he would never stay ho Tan was slowly drifting into sleep when that feeling of being watched suddenly returns Zheng Tanany unusual noises Around him were students that walked past, a short distance away a cleaner eeping the ground, an occasional car that drove through Not far from here was a sports arena, from which cheers and acclamations could so Tan had already gotten used to, but that feeling of beingTan opened his eyes and surveyed his surrounding

He still couldn't find any suspects, but this ti Tan kept an eye out for those around hirass as well as those ere noteach of their faces The opponenthi down fro Tan hid behind the canteen of a nearby classroo He looked around then chose a tree on the north corner of the canteen With his back turned to the road, he continued his nap on the tree

Soon, Zheng Tan narrowed his eye and looked towards the canteen opposite The feeling of being watched had returned again

The reason that he chose this canteen and this specific tree on the north corner was because he had set his sight upon the reflective glass on the canteen's north side of the second floor That corner on the second floor was an office and the decoration used at the tilass Only those on the inside can see outside, if you looked from the exterior of the canteen it can work as a lass, observing the people inside and co the Tan's line of sight fell on an ordinary looking student

The student carried a backpack and held a book in his hands, he slowly approached the canteen During this entire process, with every two steps he took he looked towards the spot where Zheng Tan wasIn the end, he carass in front of the canteen and opened his book

When Zheng Tan had just arrived, that person was sitting and reading on the meadow not far fro on the lawn like hih, that's why Zheng Tan didn't spot hi up and stretching, then he pretended to survey his surroundings unintentionally As expected, that person quickly lowered his head again

Zheng Tan crouched down again and continued to sleep while facing the classroolass on the canteen Just as Zheng Tan predicted, that person looked up again at Zheng Tan, this ti Tan was confused Who was that person? Why was he stalking hiet was a cat, as he so cautious?

Zheng Tan couldn't understand

Maybe now that he had gotten too famous from all the ads, somebody had set their eyes on hiress in the television shows Otherould somebody monitor a valueless cat this carefully?

Since he had found the suspect, Zheng Tan was prepared to go against hi out with the children, taking a walk about, and then sleeping on this tree to the north of the canteen while at the sao home and eat lunch in the afternoon, have a nap, coain in the afternoon, and repeat the saain

Someti Tan would change locations, solass It was not Zheng Tan being too overcautious, it was because of that person's careful surveillance even on aTan's heart sank to the bottom

Anyhow, it's better to be careful than sorry

A week later, Zheng Tan discovered that this person had disappeared along with the feeling of being watched

He's no longer stalking?

Or was it because he hadTan's queries only lasted for a day

On the evening of the next night, Zheng Tan had went out with Mama Jiao after supper Mama Jiao went to exercise and dance with her friends while Zheng Tan took a spin inside the courtyards, teasing the dogs in the yard when he becaer and Sheriff were both still locked inside their house Tiger had grown quieter after being castrated but Sheriff was not one that could stay still At the beginning he would continue to call out when he was locked inside, but now that there was soradually ht, but was never allowed to go out at night

Thus, whenever Zheng Tan wanted to find some cat to roam around with he could only find Fatty, but that wealthy-looking stout Fatty would only hang around his own balcony every tihty the bulldog, Zheng wandered around the courtyard in boredoht-thirty, Ma at nine Papa Jiao was at home today and Jiao Yuan's homework had sonature after finished, so Papa Jiao didn't go out tonight either Hence, Zheng Tan planned to wait until Mama Jiao came back and then follow her upstairs

As he a Tan suddenly hear the sound of fluttering wings

Zheng Tan moved his ears and headed towards the source of the sound That side was already close to enclosing walls, quite a remote place in the courtyard There were some sweet osmanthus and winter sweets trees planted at that corner, used as decorations to e Tan and others didn't go there often since there were too few trees over there The branches of the existing trees were thin, not satisfying enough for sharpening claws or cli over here as compared to the forests around the perier and others would rather walk a few more steps to play in the forest outside the courtyard

But

Zheng Tan looked at the direction where the noises of fluttering wings came from, and became confused Was that a bird?

If it had been other cats in his position, they would have definitely ran over there Cats don't hunt for food, hunting was part of their nature and they would run over at any sign of birds

Zheng Tan, on the other hand, was different He had no interest in catching birds

He turned and prepared to leave, but just as he took two steps, Zheng Tan heard another noise It sounded like the sigh that a person lets out when they're frustrated Even though they lowered their voice on purpose, Zheng Tan could still hear it

Zheng Tan walked around, pretending to toy with the branches while sneakily peeking at the courtyard walls with the corner of his eyes

The street la only the road It was still very dark by the trees, but Zheng Tana cat and noticed a head e's co Tan scraped at the sticks as part of the act, then heard a series of thu Tan used this chance to go over there and find out what it really was

Despite being curious, Zheng Tan still paid a lot of attention to his surroundings By all
