Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Two: The Meeting of The White Cat and Hamster II (1/2)
“Faye?”
The bell awakened Xiao Yu’s memories. Ever since he had turned back into a human, his memory had been exceptionally good. Not only were his memories of his ‘previous life’ crystal clear, even his memories as a hamster could all be recalled.
This snow-white Persian cat was named Faye. She was the pet of Chu Ge’s girlfriend, Yan Jin’s former fiancée. Xiao Yu could not bothered to follow-up on that incident, hence he wasn’t sure about what had happened. However, Faye was the one thing that he had not forgotten till today. She was the only living thing that understood him besides Yan Jin after all.
Even if all the white fur and blue-eyed Persian cats in this world looked almost the same, Xiao Yu was still one-hundred percent sure that this cat was Faye.
As to why Faye had appeared at this place, why she happened to appear before him… could it be the destiny of their crossed paths?
Xiao Yu wasn’t sure himself, but it was not the time to think about it at the moment.
It did not matter that he got wet in the rain himself, but seeing the shivering Faye in front of him, Xiao Yu suddenly wondered why the rain was so icy cold.
He placed the bag in his hands to one side as he squatted. He reached out his hand, and Faye did not hesitate as she limped over into his embrace.
Their location was very secluded. Xiao Yu had wandered off randomly and was unsure where he was exactly right then. The houses on both sides were low-leveled and he could not see any large-scale shopping malls in sight. With no other choice, Xiao Yu carried Faye in his arms and ran to a closed shophouse nearby for shelter.
“What are you doing here? Where’s your owner?”
The raindrops pelted down the iron sheet rooftop making a loud rattling noise.
“Meow.” I don’t have an owner.
“Hm? But I’ve seen your owner before. Isn’t she called Fan Xiaoge or something like that?” Xiao Yu asked, puzzled.
“Meow?” Faye did meet you before. Who are you?
Faye’s blue eyes were filled with suspicions. She could smell a similar scent from this person, but wasn’t he obviously a human?
“Of course you’ve seen me, I’m…” Xiao Yu was glad that Faye had recognized him, but before he revealed his identity, he remembered that he wasn’t a hamster anymore. Even if he had told Faye, she may not understand it.
“I’m your owner’s friend.” Xiao Yu answered after he gave it a thought.
“Meow?” Are you a human?
“Of course I am.”
“Meoww.” Then why can you understand what Faye is saying?
“Ughh… there are different kinds of humans after all. Some people can understand animal language.”
Xiao Yu did not bother too much about that question. It may be because there were too many strange things that had happened to him. As compared to what had happened, understanding animal language did not seemed like a big issue. After all, Yan Jin could also understand hamster language.
“Oh right, stop diverting the topic. Quickly tell me what you are doing here so that I can send you back when the rain stops.”
“Meoww.” But Faye has already been abandoned.
“Abandoned?” Xiao Yu stilled for a moment.
“Meow.” I don’t have an owner now. I’m so hungry meow.
“You’re saying that Fan Xiaoge doesn’t want you anymore?”
“Meowww.” Owner left this place. Faye was taken into a strange place later. There was no food there, and I escaped with great difficulty.
Xiao Yu wanted to ask more, but it was quite troublesome at the moment.
His entire body had been drenched and Faye was not only soaked but also covered with mud. She could barely stop shivering even using the heat from his own body.
“This rain isn’t going to stop any time soon. You should come home with me first, okay?”
“Meow?” Is there food?
“Yes, yes. I’ll get a cab.”
“Meow.” Okay then.
Faye acted reserved for a short while and eventually agreed.
Xiao Yu used his mobile to call for a cab. As he was drenched from head to toe with wounds on his face and was carrying a dirty stray cat, the driver was obviously unhappy. In the end, Xiao Yu took the initiative to offer more money and finally got the driver to fetch him.
The driver’s peculiar gaze did not worsen Xiao Yu’s mood. Even those gloomy and despairing emotions were driven away by Faye’s appearance. Xiao Yu hugged the homeless Faye in his arms as a sense of responsibility occupied his entire heart, pushing all those messy worries into the corner.
When they arrived home, the first thing that Xiao Yu did was to take off all his wet clothes and go into the bathroom to turn on the shower faucet. He said to Faye who was licking her own fur: “Come take a shower.”
“Meow.” No, you hoodlum.
Faye used her paws to cover her own eyes.
Xiao Yu: “……”
“Then, I’ll fill something with water so you can wash on your own.” Xiao Yu found a bigger basin, filled it with hot water, and placed it in front of Faye.
Faye used her paw to test the water temperature before she meowed twice at Xiao Yu.
The human then cooperated by walking out of the bathroom, closing the door, and leaving a gap open.
It was undoubtedly the first time he had ever peeped through the door gap, but Xiao Yu was familiar with how to do it.
Faye circled the basin and first raised her two front paws, then her back paws, before she finally slowly lowered herself into the water. It might have been so comfortable that she even rolled in the water.
That moment when Faye’s nose did not appear on the water’s surface, Xiao Yu felt his heart beat faster. When he finally saw Faye’s head floating on the surface, it was only then he finally relaxed again.
