Chapter 222
“Sorry... I just suddenly...”
“It’s okay, you can hold it.”
“Really?”
“Of course, it looks like it likes you quite a bit.”
Actually, Chenpi, even though it had been a clean little orange cat for a few days, was still very wild.
Even Father Bai, who fed it cat food every day, couldn’t touch it. Bai Xiaoxiao could touch it, but it wasn’t affectionate and still did its own thing.
But this very cat, on their first meeting, came up to him and let him hold it, showing that Chenpi really had a special bond with him.
Jiang Zimeng reached out her hand and took the little guy. Chenpi got a bit restless, but she skillfully ran her hand from its head down its back.
After a few strokes, Chenpi went from hissing and glaring to being a cute, obedient kitty, as long as there were treats involved.
At this time, the people upstairs also came down, and seeing the girl next to Xu Lin, they were taken aback.
Who was this? Wasn’t this a blatant provocation?
Although they all thought this, they still behaved very kindly. Only Chu Qingchan directly linked arms with Ji Yun, and Qin Yunhe linked arms with Su Qingwan.
They arrayed themselves and walked towards Xu Lin, all with smiles on their faces.
Jiang Zimeng, who had been playing with the cat, looked up and saw this formation.
She instinctively took a step back. Liu Qinwan, who didn’t have a best friend to link arms with, saw the girl’s retreating action and remembered when she first arrived and saw so many beautiful girls, she also felt overwhelmed.
“This is the daughter of the villa’s owner.”
Feeling the gazes from behind him, Xu Lin pointed to the girl opposite, though he didn’t even know her name.
“Hello, I’m Jiang Zimeng, I live next door.”
“Hello.”
“Alright, I’ll be heading back then.”
Having fed the cat enough treats, she handed it back to Xu Lin, took small steps, and quickly walked out.
“By the way, she’s the kind person who found Senior Bai’s lost puppy last time.”
Xu Lin added, and Chu Qingchan immediately recalled the incident from a few days ago.
“Is she the one Little Sister Yun told me about?
Chu Qingchan remembered Ji Yun telling her a few days ago that Xu Lin got a cat and found Bai Xiaoxiao’s dog.
The girl’s family had even spent money to adopt many pets, showing she was very kind-hearted.
“Does she have a lot of animals at home? How about we go and have a look?”
“Sure, but I’m not sure if she would want that. Maybe next time.”
Ji Yun considered that the girl wore a mask and hat, looking like she didn’t like socializing.
But before they could finish discussing, a small head peeked out from the villa door.
“Well, I organized a small rescue group. When they find stray animals, I go and bring them back.”
“You are truly kind-hearted.”
“No, I’m just doing what I love. To be honest, I don’t mind telling you this.”
“My mother runs a factory, and due to some issues, we need cash flow right now, so we are selling this property next door. If that’s not enough, we might have to sell this one too.”
“I would then have to live in a regular apartment temporarily. If that happens, these pets will be sent away, and I won’t be able to help more in the future.”
At this point, her previously indifferent tone showed a slight fluctuation. Xu Lin and the others sensed the change in her voice. Even wealthy people can’t avoid such issues.
“Let’s not talk about this. You can feed them, but don’t get too close to avoid any accidental injuries.”
“By the way, can we take pictures?” Su Qingwan took out her phone, unable to resist the urge to share this moment with her friends.
“Go ahead, just avoid capturing anything that reveals the address. Most of the interior can be photographed.”
Hearing this, everyone took out their phones, turning into avid photographers.
Chu Qinchan also walked over and handed his phone to him.
“How do you have my phone?”
“I went to your place to get it, afraid you might use it and still be able to answer Liu Qinnuan’s calls.”
“Thanks.”
“Well, if you’re grateful, take a photo for me.”
“Can you be in the shot?”
“Just my body is fine.”
Chu Qianchan quickly walked over to a small cat cage and made a V sign with her fingers.
Xu Lin captured the shot.
“Does it look good?”
“It’s alright. The photo just cuts off at your chin. Can I send it to the reading group?”
“Do as you like. I didn’t show my face anyway.”
“Alright.”
Xu Lin casually sent the photo to the novel readers’ group. As soon as the picture was sent, he clearly heard a QQ notification sound.
Xu Lin suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance. The girl wearing a mask was also looking in his direction at the same time.
They both lifted their phones, then immediately put them down.
“This world is too small.”
