CH 4

(t/n: I’ve changed sh!t shovel official to poop shoveling official. haha…(◍•ᴗ•◍)

With the sight of Li Zhen’s uniform, the shop keeper of the pet shop was stunned for a moment. When the shopkeeper saw Li Zhen’s cold face, his face turned a little green and his heart was slightly lifted. The shopkeeper smiled at Li Zhen stiffly, “What can I do for you?” 

Li Zhen reached out and put the box on the table, he said briefly and concisely, “I picked up a kitten. You find him a good owner.”

When Fang He heard this, he scratched the box vigorously. He already decided to follow this Yama face person, why did this person decide not to have him?

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the kitten whose head poked out in a panic, and said, “This kitten looks like the one I lost yesterday.”

Li Zhen frowned, “Are you sure?” 

The shopkeeper reached out and lifted the cover and easily grabbed the kitten by the back of its neck, and said with certainty, “It’s true, my black girl gave birth to four kittens in the litter. They’re all black and white. The kittens are ready to be sold, so I didn’t put cat’s collar on them. This kitten is very clever, it carelessly runs away without leaving a trace. But this kitten really has a mark, with a small black spot on its front paw.”

Fang He, who was caught at the back of his neck, was furious. He tried to struggle, but his power as a kitten was limited. Not to mention, the place on the back of the neck is simply an untouchable place for kittens. Fang He, who was being carried, was really helpless, he could only stare at the shopkeeper desperately with his eyes.

The action of the shopkeeper also caused Li Zhen to frown slightly. Although he also carried the kitten at the back of the neck, it was just for a moment. The shopkeeper carried it for a little too long making him frown slightly. He glanced at the kitten’s plum-shaped paw pad. There really is a small black dot in the center of it.

The shopkeeper pointed to the corner of the wall, “You, look over there. They are together. It was raining when I put them in the store yesterday, and the kitten ran away when I moved the cage.”

Fang He looked over with his cat’s eyes, and there really was a big cage over there with three black and white kittens in it. The size and body shape are similar to him, too. If it hadn’t been kept by someone, it would be impossible for such a small kitten to grow into a fur ball on its own.

Li Zhen walked over and looked at the three black and white kittens inside. They were really similar to the one he picked up. Maybe the evil spirit was too much, Li Zhen’s approach caused the kittens that had been scattered in different positions to shrink together immediately. When they got together, they looked at him warily with different colored eyes.

For future freedom, Fang He finally breaks through his psychological barrier and meows loudly. The bleakness of his voice, the tone of his pleading, coupled with his sorrowful eyes, Fang He was even touched with himself.

Li Zhen squatted down his body, and looked at the kitten for a while. He stretched out his hand to touch the kitten’s paw, and frowned slightly. This kitten seems to be less wary of him? But he is going to be late. The evidence collected at the scene last night needs to be appraised today, and he has to go.

When Fang He’s paw was touched, he thought that this person was going to change his mind, but the person just left?! Seeing Yama face disappear, Fang He-mao was irritably holding the cage with his paws. Had he known this, he would’ve acted cute to gain this Lord Yama’s favor! Well, it’s good now. Being locked up is just a trivial matter. It’s not like he hasn’t been locked up before. The point is how long he will be locked up. Will he miss the only two days of preparation before the end of the world?!

When the shopkeeper saw that the person had finally left, he breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the cat holding the cage with it’s paws, and muttered, feeling a little strange, “You careless little cat, are you sure you decided on the right person? At first glance, that person didn’t know how to take care of cats well. Stop calling, I will find you a gentle owner.” 

Fang He glanced at the shopkeeper with his light green eyes, then he moved to the corner of the cage and shrank down. Didn’t he spend the apocalypse in a cage just like this?

“Hey, you little cat actually got upset?” The shopkeeper laughed, he then shook his head and went to do something else. A large room full of various kinds of pets, hygiene alone takes a long time to take care of. Thinking of the person who had a cold face with an obvious evil aura around him just now, the shopkeeper thought in his heart. Letting him raise a cat, will he be a competent poop shoveling official? You must be joking.

Just now when Fang He stretched out the cat’s paws, he had already determined the material of the cage. It was made of metal and was very hard. Relying on the ability of a kitten like him, it would be difficult to destroy it. But the cage door was fastened with a buckle. 

Seeing the shopkeeper cleaning up the shop, Fang He jumped to the cage door buckle and stretched out his cat’s paw to fiddle with the buckle. It turns out that cat paws are really not suitable for doing such a thing. When Fang He was surrounded by several kittens, his cat’s paws were already so sour, but he still could not open it.

He could only think of other ways. Fang He squatted down at the door of the cage. As soon as Fang He squatted down, the other kittens got even more aggressive. They all leaned over, meowing and meowing, insisting on sticking to Fang He’s side and rubbing him. Fang He felt uncomfortable being rubbed by the three kittens. He flicked his tail, gave a fierce cry, then moved his body and ran to the other side of the cage. However, the three black and white with kittens once again ran over to rub him. They titled their heads, touching Fang He’s head with their cat’s paws from time to time.

Fang He’s cat eyes glared at them, and moved his position angrily again. However, perseverance seems to be the nature of kittens, so they followed him again.

Fang He wanted to cry without tears, his green eyes stared at the store door full of grievance. 

The first customer to come was a woman with a child. The child is only about five years old, with big black eyes looking curiously at the various types of small animals in the pet store. When he saw the kittens in their cage, his eyes lit up.

The kittens in their cage are naturally the first choice for children. Fang He raised his head and took a look. For him, children are not his preferred owner, so Fang He lazily lay in the cage, not wanting to come forward at all.

When he saw the shopkeeper bring a cat stick and hand it to the child to tease the kittens in the cage, Fang He’s heart really collapsed. That cat stick seemed to have a magical charm. It went in and out of the cage and caused the few kittens to rush over and play. Fang He glanced at it, and his heart was itchy, and he couldn’t wait to pounce on it and scratch it happily.

After enduring it again and again, the barbs on Fang He’s cat paws stretched and retracted. In the end, he endured the nature of being a cat. His green eyes glared resentfully at the shopkeeper who was introducing something to the child. 

The child finally chose a more lively kitten and took it away. When the child left, Fang He suddenly snapped out of it. If he is adopted by a child, wouldn’t it be easy for him to run away? Having lost a good opportunity, Fang He turned around and stared at the store door with his cat eyes.

The second visitor was a woman with delicate makeup and carried a heavy smell of perfume on her body. She came in and asked the shopkeeper if he had a pure breed Persian cat. She preferred to have the cat with two different colored eyes, one blue and the other is green. Her arrogant look was very unpleasant, and the shopkeeper dismissed her in a few words. This kind of person, who raises a cat to show off, has always been disliked by the shopkeeper, not to mention that there is really no Persian cat here.

Then, the following morning, Fang He saw a few customers. There were women and children, and couples and sisters. However, Fang He, who already made up his mind to be adopted and then took the opportunity to escape, was surprisingly not selected by these few customers?!!

Squatting in the corner, Fang He sighed in distress. Is it not pleasing to the eyes when he deliberately sells meng? 

At noon, the shopkeeper fed the kittens with his homemade cat food with small fishes. Fang He looked at the sticky pile with a strong fishy scent. Experiencing the end of the world prevents him from resisting any kinds of food. It’s already good enough to have a mouthful of food during the apocalypse. What’s more, although this tray of cat food does not look very good, it looks very delicious under the cat’s sense of smell.

But Fang He, who was entangled in his mind, had no appetite. He wanted to escape urgently. He was not in the mood. Seeing as the last chubby kitten did not seem to have enough and even ate his own share, he was very generous and gave it away.

It was another afternoon, and this was a sad reminder that none of the customers came to buy pets. Several of them were old customers, who came only to bathe their pets. Therefore, Fang He could only continue to fight the buckle of the cage.

His hard work pays off…click. Under Fang He’s persistent efforts, the buckle unexpectedly opened up. Fang He’s cat eyes glanced vigilantly at the shopkeeper who was still taking care of a tabby cat, then immediately rushed to the store door. 

But just before he rushed out, a person blocked his way, and the back of his neck was quickly held by that person. Fang He wanted to bite people, but when his cat eyes saw the person holding him, his japer-like eyes suddenly lit up, “Meow…”

Fang He also gave up resisting, and pressed his head firmly against the palm of his hand. His cat paws were even more restless, pressing Li Zhen’s wrists with the paw pads one after another.

“Boss!” Li Zhen held the kitten in his palm and looked at the busy shopkeeper over there.

“Hey, wait a minute, I’m busy here. See what you need first.” The shopkeeper was busy, and answered without looking up. 

Sunnyshies☼ Short Theater:

Fang He rushed to the left, and the kittens followed him to the left.

Fang He jumped to the front, then the kittens rushed at him with their paws. 

Fang He roared: “Meow!!”

And the kittens jumped at him.

In the end, Fang He pretends to be dead, resigning himself as he was buried under the all these persistent fur balls.
