Chapter 36
Most of the parrots had their wings clipped, so they couldn't fly very high. After putting all the birds in cages, the entire natural museum seemed to instantly empty out.
Alpacas and dogs are generally docile and have low temperature requirements, so they were first taken outside. The other small animals were loaded into another vehicle. Then, the previously scheduled staff arrived with high-pressure water guns.
The keeper stood to the side with his hands in his sleeves, glancing at the students: Were they really planning to renovate the place?
An Shiyan calculated the expenses in her mind and couldn't help but grimace—these animals had common issues related to diet and unclean environments. Qin Lan's uncle only charged a small amount for labor and medication, but the parrots were the most numerous, so they took up the bulk of the cost.
—Moreover, compared to other animals, budgerigars were the most common, so she anticipated that it would be difficult to find adopters for all of them.
If she were an adopter, between a raccoon and a parrot, she would naturally choose the former. With so many parrots, even if she adopted one, she might not be able to recognize which one was hers when she visited the school.
While she was calculating the costs, Chang Yixin called her over to change out of her cleaning uniform and go eat. They had all been wearing light blue disposable cleaning uniforms during the cleaning, which were now almost worn out.
None of them knew how they got bird droppings on them, but Chu Tingwu only had dust and animal hair on her, looking much luckier than the others. She had put in the most effort catching the birds, yet she seemed to have gotten off the easiest.
"Anyway, we will post the new venue design on our social media and live stream the renovation process in the coming days. Thank you for your attention."
The school cafeteria also serves meals on weekends, though only a couple of windows are open. Normally, they would have chosen to eat out, but this time, taking charge of the finances, they unanimously decided to eat in the cafeteria.
After confirming that the live stream was off, the group immediately gathered around Chang Yixin to look at the screen of her tablet:
"How many followers do we have now?"
"Is there a replay of the live stream? I'll check it with my own account. My goodness, so many comments..."
"The message notifications are at 99+, did we make it to the homepage for half an hour!?"
Unlike Chu Tingwu, everyone else was new to operating such an account. And thanks to a (nearly) million-follower up-and-coming influencer's promotion, special effects, and incredibly skilled live streaming techniques, the first live stream's data was surprisingly impressive, with the number of followers continuously rising. Chang Yile lay on the table, waving to Chu Tingwu: "That's terrifying. Next time, we can't let your friend do the special effects and camera work..."
Chu Tingwu tilted her head: "Huh?"
Chang Yixin also nodded, translating: "This data is way beyond what we could reasonably achieve. The novel live streaming method attracted a lot of fans, but we can't always rely on your friend, right? Next time, let's do the live stream ourselves; we'll see how many we can retain."
Moreover, this live streaming method is currently unique to Chu Tingwu on Fenghua Network. It's enough to have her help once; doing it every time would dilute her own unique style.
Chu Tingwu chewed a couple of bites of food: "It... said it could make a small interface plugin for you and optimize the real-time subtitles. Want it? But it'll cost money, at a family price."
An Shiyan started calculating and discussing, then looked at the effect of the plugin: "…We'll take it!"
There were already many live streaming gimmicks, and this plugin just changed the interface's UI and added a task and progress bar that viewers could select to view. The price wasn't high, but it could solidify the live streaming style of the account.
In fact, many people had privately messaged Chu Tingwu's account, asking if she sold the various plugins used in the live stream effects, either for a one-time purchase or in collaboration. But the system managed that shell post-production team and wasn't interested in selling plugins for now—
System: "We can sell it directly to Fenghua Network later."
The website's technical staff were trying to crack its technology and replicate it, but they kept failing. So the system calculated that they would soon come to it for a deal.
Within the entire team, Chu Tingwu was in charge of the big picture, Chang Yixin and Chang Yile took over the live streaming work, alternating shifts, An Shiyan handled the accounts and operations, Qin Lan took care of various liaison work, Tang Zhe was in charge of looking after his peacock eggs (?) and catching the other three peacocks around the school, and the other two boys did miscellaneous tasks, filling in wherever needed.
They decided not to recruit new members in their first year, as more people could lead to chaos. The current work arrangements hadn't been sorted out, and they weren't sure about the quality of new members. If they were short-handed during the adoption event, they would hire or ask other classmates to help temporarily through Teacher Cao.
Qin Lan was always staring at his phone during meals and suddenly exclaimed, "Wait, the pet store that agreed to let us foster the animals suddenly wants to raise the price!"
During the renovation, the animals naturally couldn't stay in the museum, so they estimated the number of animals and made prior arrangements for long-term fostering.
Long-term fostering usually allowed for some price negotiation, but the high school students were worried that bargaining would lead to the animals not being cared for properly, plus they were a bit shy, so they stuck to the original price and paid a deposit.
Who knew that after counting, there were thirty more parrots than initially estimated. The pet store suddenly wanted to increase the price by a third, citing the need for an additional person to feed the parrots.
An Shiyan: "…They must have found out we're students, so they're raising the price at the last minute!"
But now the animals were already loaded onto the vehicle, and it would be troublesome to find another place for large-scale fostering at the last minute. Fortunately, they had initially considered the health status of the animals and rented the vehicle for a day, so there was still time to find another shop.
But after searching around, they found that the prices were not low, and due to the large number, they would have to split the animals among different shops. Many stores, upon learning the total number of parrots, were very hesitant.
In comparison, this last-minute price hike seemed neither too high nor too low, just right at their psychological threshold—
Chang Yile: "Is this what it feels like to be an adult? Having kids is like this? I feel like my child has been kidnapped, and I have to pay the ransom!"
Tang Zhe: "Normal people don't have hundreds of kids at once!"
Chu Tingwu: "Let me ask again?"
She decided to consult Little Zheng.
Little Zheng, a forestry bureau employee from Fallen Phoenix City who had only met Chu Tingwu once before, was still on her contact list. Although he was from the forestry bureau, he should have some understanding of this kind of work.
Chu Tingwu's video was still playing, and Little Zheng hadn't forgotten her. He spoke enthusiastically: "A zoo in the school? Fostering issues? Tell me the numbers... I see, mostly parrots, right?"
Little Zheng: "This isn't a difficult matter. Actually, parrots fall under the jurisdiction of the agriculture bureau, which also manages poultry imports. There are usually rental warehouses for breeding, with feeders and other equipment already set up. Just disinfect them, and if you're renting them short-term, the price won't be too high. You'll just need to hire someone to feed them. You can directly ask the staff for recommendations—"
Little Zheng's voice disappeared for a moment on the phone, then he sent Chu Tingwu a number, telling her to call the agriculture bureau first, and if there were any difficulties, to call the number he sent.
Fortunately, the contact went smoothly. Only when the other party found out it was a group of students did they ask for a school-issued certificate. The group split up to run to the dean's office and the principal's office, with Teacher Cao's help, and finally managed to secure the temporary breeding ground for the animals before 5 PM.
An Shiyan got the deposit back, and the other party boasted that they definitely couldn't find a cheaper place, telling the students not to regret it.
An Shiyan typed furiously: "Thank you for your concern, the new place we found only costs half the price, including labor."
Just wait, she'd make a post to expose them and share it in the local circle of friends!
The others: Do you people in the otaku world even do aesthetic layouts for exposés... What a magical place.
The new farm was two suburban warehouses side by side, with a small lawn attached. After a whole day of hard work, everyone finally settled the animals in. Chu Tingwu had the system take over the warehouse surveillance—this way, if anything happened, they could react immediately.
Chang Yile: "Wow, I didn't realize how tiring it would be to do things ourselves..."
It wasn't just physically exhausting; there was also the weight of responsibility, pressing heavily on their hearts.
Teacher Cao followed them the entire way, watching the kids' expressions grow numb from exhaustion, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time: "You've already done very well. When I was your age, I was always thinking about skipping class to go to the internet cafe."
As it got late, except for the Chang sisters, who were picked up by their family, everyone else was driven home by Teacher Cao. On the way, they took the opportunity to check what else they might have left undone:
"Did we release the lion cat?"
"We did, and then we had Three Five Five watch over them. They didn't dare to sneak back in."
"Did we contact the night shift caretaker? He doesn't need to come tonight; he can join us tomorrow morning."
"He seems to be thinking about quitting..."

"Damn!"
"Oh, right," Chu Tingwu said from the back seat, "I think I missed my live stream again."
She had planned to finish the task early today and stream for an hour for the audience.
Next time, definitely next time.
-
And so, next time it was.
So on Sunday morning, Chu Tingwu got up at six, skillfully climbed over the school wall, and greeted Teacher Cao, who was brushing his teeth next door. She landed in the schoolyard and started the live stream.
Early in the morning, the viewers were shocked: "You have to go to school on Sundays? And you're just a freshman?"
"No, our club meets at eight, so I'm streaming a bit before the meeting," Chu Tingwu said, panning the camera over the schoolyard. "Last time, someone mentioned a cat language course, so this stream will focus on that topic."
The audience: So it's a lesson for us!
Chu Tingwu: "You're all quite familiar with Three Five Five, so I've decided to catch a few school cats as examples, or do you have any cats at home you'd like to connect with and have them appear as examples?"
With that, the fans who were a bit drowsy woke up instantly—
[Wow, Chu Master, does that mean you can translate what my baby is saying if we connect?]
[I'm so glad I don't have to rush to work today, I'm going to catch my rascal now. Chu Chu, can you help me teach him not to pee on the bed anymore?]
[Chu Master (hands together), pick me, please, I want to flirt with the stray who always comes to my house for food. Can you be the matchmaker? He eats three meals a day, including breakfast, and he'll be here soon!]
Seeing everyone so excited, Chu Tingwu had the system set up a lottery program, which viewers could click to participate in.
Some fans didn't have cats but had been following how Chu Tingwu communicated with various cats—Three Five Five was a living example right beside them, intelligent and clever. If Chu Tingwu said Three Five Five could do advanced math problems, everyone would probably believe it.
Chu Tingwu: But I might not even be able to solve those problems myself ==
The program quickly spat out a user ID, and Chu Tingwu sat down on the railing, waiting for the connection. The screen lit up, showing an indoor scene.
In the frame, a ragdoll cat half-opened its eyes, clearly having been deep in sleep. Suddenly picked up by its owner, it didn't struggle and continued to snore.
The owner shook the cat's head: "Stinky baby, wake up, wake up!"
Chu Tingwu: "..."
The owner: "Actually, I want my stinky baby to lose some weight; he's too fat now, but he can open drawers to steal freeze-dried treats... and when I try to stop him, he growls at me."
The cat glared and "meowed meowed meowed meow," which any cat owner knows is the cat swearing, leaving the owner quite exasperated.
Chu Tingwu "hmm"ed and didn't meow but played the sound of freeze-dried treats falling into a bowl.
On the screen, the ragdoll's eyes immediately widened, "meowing" as it tried to jump out of its owner's arms, only to be held back by the owner's arm, looking confused.
Chu Tingwu: "You have more than one cat, right? He's the first one?"
The owner: "Yes! This is my eldest son. How did you know, Chu Master?"
Did she check her account status? After all, cat owners rarely resist showing off their cats.
The owner moved the camera to include a chubby orange cat lying at her feet. Compared to the long-haired ragdoll, the orange cat looked somewhat muscular.
Chu Tingwu recorded the ragdoll's "meow" when it heard the freeze-dried treats, allowing viewers to replay it at any time. She replayed it herself and then told the owner:
"I heard it from his meow. Even similar meows can have different contexts in different situations. This one translates to 'don't fight with me for it,' though you can also just think he's cursing at the other cats. My translation is a bit polished—"
Anyway, the original words weren't very nice.
"Your cats should have already adjusted to each other. When you first brought them together, their relationship wasn't good, right? But you let them eat together, even though you probably used separate bowls, the ragdoll still wanted to confirm its family status, so it often tried to steal food from the orange cat."
The owner suddenly understood: "Yes, yes, yes! I would stop them when I saw it, but I have to go to work, so I use a feeder for them... but now they also groom each other, so I thought they were fine."
Chu Tingwu nodded: "Over time, the ragdoll developed the habit and its stomach got bigger. I'll try to persuade him, but it probably won't work."
The owner: "?"
Is that so realistic?
Chu Tingwu: "First, separate their feeding areas and feed them at fixed times and amounts. Don't give the ragdoll any snacks, and keep it up for a few months, and he should lose weight normally."
Chu Tingwu "meowed" a few more times, this time persuading the ragdoll. The ragdoll cat lay on the table, looked up, "meowed" once, and jumped off the table, shaking off its owner.
The owner was eager: "What did he say?"
Chu Tingwu was calm: "He cursed at me for meddling."
The owner blushed.
The chat was in stitches.
However, Chu Tingwu still calmly recorded the cat's meow and uploaded it as teaching material to the program.
Before leaving, the owner expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Doctor Chu. I'll try it and record the data of the ragdoll's weight loss."
The system pondered and added "Doctor Chu Dispenses Orders" to the live stream title "Cat Language Class."
Doctor Chu soon welcomed her second patient.
This patient's family was very excited: "Chu Chu Chu Chu! Ah, I got the number! No, no, I won the lottery—"
"That is, can you help me check my rascal's urinary issues... he keeps peeing on the bed, and I've disciplined him many times, tried many remedies, and even took him to the balcony to smell the bedsheet he peed on, telling him not to do it again, but he still does!"
The patient was an American Shorthair silver tabby, looking innocent with his plump little face when picked up. If you only looked at his face, you'd never guess he was a problem cat.
The tabby meowed in an attempt to flirt: "Meow?"
Chu Tingwu directly communicated with the patient in her Fallen Phoenix City accent, quickly concluding: "He's quite timid."
The patient's family nodded vigorously: "Usually, when I have friends over, he'll hide in my bedroom and then pee. It happens every time!"
Chu Tingwu stroked her chin: "Because for him, your bed is a very safe place. When he smells unfamiliar scents, he gets scared and doesn't dare to go to the bathroom. When he feels safe on the bed, he can't hold it anymore—is his litter box in the bathroom?"
The patient's family clapped: "Ah, yes!"
Chu Tingwu said, "Recently, the weather has been quite hot. You can move to the balcony. He feels the bathroom is too small, and he might be scared. I'll teach him a couple of phrases so that when he needs to go to the bathroom, he'll call you, and you can accompany him. Once he gets used to using the litter box, the frequency of him peeing on the bedsheets will decrease."
But it probably won't completely disappear, just less frequent.
The patient's eyes lit up: "Dr. Chu, I have a pet button at home. Can you teach my son to use the button to call me directly?"
This pet button had been played with by San Wuyu before. The owner can record different short phrases, and after Chu Tingwu taught for a while, the American Shorthair learned it and started pressing it wildly:
"Mom, eat." "Mom, eat." "Mom, eat."
"Mom": You little rascal...
The American Shorthair drooped its eyes, looking innocent, and the live chat was full of comforting messages:
[It's okay, my pet is even dumber, it can't even play with the button.]
[He's urging you to eat, you should eat in front of him!]
[Next, next, when will Dr. Chu call my number, Dr. Chu!]
Dr. Chu was quite diligent. After teaching the American Shorthair how to press the bathroom button, he switched to another person.
This time, the connection was initially pitch black, and it took a long while for a bit of light to appear. The screen kept shaking, followed by heavy breathing. The person on the other end said, "Yes, right here!"
The camera showed a hazy sky and a small courtyard.
"UP, I recently rented a house in the countryside, but it seems to have mice. I always hear noises at night. Can you help me call the cat next door to catch the mice!"
[?]
[Wow, can Dr. Chu also take on intermediary work?]
Chu Tingwu: "=="
Chu Tingwu: "Tell me what kind of cat is next door."
The person on the other end: "Ah? I don't know. I've only seen it once. It was a grey tabby? I saw it in this courtyard, eating a fish head thrown out by the neighbors."
The neighbors probably hadn't woken up yet, as the door was tightly closed. Chu Tingwu meowed a couple of times, asking the person to play it loudly, but there was no response from the cat.
[It's okay, baby, it's not that you messed up. It's definitely because he didn't play the sound loudly enough!]
[Maybe the cat is locked inside? It can't come out.]
[After all, Chu didn't see that cat. Cats have different personalities. Maybe it's just very aloof?]
The person's camera kept shaking. Chu Tingwu said, "Try playing it near a few more houses."
Many village cats are free-roaming and eat from many households.
The person on the other end seemed to be an old fan, full of confidence in her, and energetically went out. The sound of a cat began to float on the cement road of the village. The camera even caught a puzzled look from an auntie, but the person on the other end didn't care.
Then, the live chat got excited—
[Grey tabby, grey tabby!]
[Look, there's a tabby head on the right roof!]
Indeed, on the roof of the two-story building on the right, a grey tabby appeared. It was lying on the tiles, and when the person on the other end panned the camera over, it was staring right at him, clearly attracted by the cat's meow.
But after seeing the cat in the camera, everyone fell silent. A comment slowly appeared:
[That... isn't it a bit inappropriate to use child labor?]
This little grey tabby was only slightly larger than an adult's palm, about two or three months old, with a bulging belly, obviously not starving. It licked its nose, "meowed" a couple of times, and was about to leave the humans and go back to sleep.
It was Chu Tingwu who stopped it and started asking if there were any other cats in the village.
Little grey tabby: "What kind of cat are you?"
It heard the big human holding something that made cat sounds, but there were no other cats, nor could it smell any other cats, so it was very puzzled... Communicating with a kitten was more difficult than with an adult cat. After Chu Tingwu coaxed it for a while, the little tabby finally came down from the roof and let out a few "ow ow" cries.
An adult grey tabby came out from behind the wall, swinging its tail and walking over to the little tabby.
Chu Tingwu: "They'll wait here. Go home and bring some food."
To hire a cat, you have to pay first and then work.
The person on the other end reacted quickly. Village cats almost eat anything. He picked two starch sausages with fewer additives, washed some chicken pieces from the fridge, and brought them over in an old bowl.
The big tabby ate a few bites, the little tabby gnawed hard, and after about half was eaten, the viewers also watched a bit of cat eating live. The tabby shook its fur and approached the person on the other end with a "meow."
And then, the viewers of the live broadcast saw the scene of the cat catching a mouse.
The big grey tabby caught a plump mouse from the person's room and played with it in the courtyard. The person in need didn't dare to get close because the mouse was still struggling, so he had to film from a distance.
[Get closer, are you a man or not!]
The person on the other end: "I can choose not to be—"
He was just a shut-in. Thinking about living in the same room with a mouse for so long, his face turned pale.
But the big grey tabby ate half of the mouse and threw it aside. The person on the other end: "Ah... do I have to deal with this mouse carcass?"
[It's normal. Cats like to play with their prey and don't usually finish eating it? It's fed by humans, so it's not short of food.]
The person on the other end: No way!
Chu Tingwu: "It doesn't seem to be..."
Although due to equipment issues, the sound was mixed with a lot of static, she still heard it.
The grey tabby wandered into the person's kitchen. After a while, there was a clattering of pots and pans, and then the tabby came out with an even fatter mouse.
Having caught a bigger one, it left with it, apparently planning to patrol the village or take it to play with the little tabby.
At this moment, the person on the other end: "..."
The viewers: "..."
Chu Tingwu: "See, it's quite responsible, isn't it?"
The viewers: ...Is this a matter of responsibility?
[Buddy, you're dirty... hope you have a better rebirth...]
[Buddy (pat on the shoulder)]
[Buddy (RIP)]
The person on the other end thanked Dr. Chu and disconnected, looking lost.
Maybe he would clean the kitchen thoroughly, or maybe he would move out overnight.
After connecting with three people (four cats), Chu Tingwu didn't start a new connection but gave the "students" some time to summarize the lesson content—
[So, keep the place clean!]
[When you find one mouse, don't think, there must be a whole nest (pat on the shoulder)]
[When you can't handle it, you can call Mom]
Chu Tingwu: "It's not about summarizing this=_="
There were also some who listened seriously:
[Teacher Chu, I found that cats don't have much language, mainly depending on tone?]
Chu Tingwu: "Yes, some cats that were raised at home since childhood and suddenly went out to roam might not be able to integrate into the stray cat group, unable to understand their language. But for home-raised cats, if you say 'freeze-dried food,' 'eat,' 'canned food,' they immediately react because the language is combined with your subsequent actions. So, in most cases, as long as you love your pet, it can feel it."
As she spoke, she also had many thoughts about what Teacher Zhang said—language, actions, new language. It's said that some people who don't understand another country's language can still complete a self-driving tour there smoothly, relying on gestures and expressions.
Even with different appearances and skin colors, people around the world can understand a friendly and close smile.
She was walking around the quiet lake near the school, and the agreed time was almost up. She chatted with the viewers in the live chat—
Although Chu Tingwu rarely replied to comments and never gave fans any benefits, she could remember familiar IDs. Even if she couldn't, the system would record everyone who watched the live broadcast and commented several times, reminding her when she needed it.
The live-streaming ball hovered in front of her. Chu Tingwu walked forward with her hands behind her back, suddenly raising her hand. Before the audience could see what happened, the next moment, Chu Tingwu's left hand was gripping the nape of a lion cat.
Lion Cat: "Meow——"
[Oh, oh, we just learned this one, Chu Master, it's cursing you!]
Chu Master: "=="
Looks like the lion cat still holds a grudge from being locked in a cage yesterday.
Chu Tingwu continued to hold the struggling cat and demonstrated for the audience: "Cats are very smart and can hold grudges. They also bully the weak and fear the strong. For example, the issue of the American Shorthair peeing randomly today—it's because he's timid, but that's not the case for every cat. Some cats hold grudges and will pee on your bed to get back at you, knowing you'll be furious."
The lion cat didn't seem to think it was wrong to hold a grudge against such a large kitten.
Chu Tingwu set it down, and it immediately darted up a tree, growling. Chu Tingwu remained calm: "It hasn't been adopted because of its personality issues. It's also one of the least friendly among the few cats on our campus."
The chat asked: "Can such a cat be trained? Can its personality be reformed?"
Someone else countered in the chat: "Why must we reform the cat's personality? It is what it is. If it were you, would you want to be controlled and reformed?"
Chu Tingwu walked past the tree, hearing the lion cat's purring and the sound of its claws scraping the bark. The chat was still discussing when she suddenly jumped—
The lion cat that jumped down missed and was momentarily stunned, only to be lifted by the nape of its neck again by Chu Tingwu.
Lion Cat: "Meow~woo~~~"
[It's cursing even more fiercely now, Chu Master, give it back!]
[If you don't want to curse, we can try (rolling up sleeves)]
You just want to practice what you learned in class, don't you!
Chu Tingwu squeezed the lion cat's paw and lifted its fur to take a look, while the lion cat was being petted into cross-eyed.
Chu Tingwu: "I won't curse back, but its fur is all tangled. I'll go to the cafeteria to borrow some water and give it a bath."
[……]
As expected of you, killing the cat, striking at the heart!
-
When the others arrived, Chu Tingwu was washing the cat. She had intended to continue, but the cafeteria auntie, wearing gloves, came over and enthusiastically took over the task: "I've been wanting to give them a bath for a while, but the cats run too fast, and I can't catch them. Now it's fine. You go and do your thing, leave it to us."
So Chu Tingwu took the breakfast and snacks the auntie gave her and also took on the task of kidnapping two more cats for a bath.
Chang Yile and the others didn't know that Chu Master had already started her day. Their task today was to assemble some locally delivered construction materials and renovate the staff restroom at the natural history museum.
The issue of scattered feed had to be addressed, and the staff restroom needed to be tidied up.
Chu Tingwu passed by with a lollipop in her mouth, watching her classmates' live stream—the "Jin City No.5 Senior High School Animal Adoption" account had gained over twenty thousand followers after yesterday's live stream, but today's viewership had dropped significantly, though there was still a core group of regular viewers.
After discussing, they decided to set up a fixed camera, like ASMR bloggers, to live stream the crafting process. Some fans enjoyed watching this, and it happened to overlap with part of the audience attracted by Chu Tingwu's fans.
...Hmm, the cat food video also needs to be updated.
Time flew quickly when busy with work. Although it wasn't drastically different yet, the natural history museum was much more spacious after removing the barriers. The new design provided birds with larger, more transparent spaces, though this part of the work had to be done by professional decorators.
Everyone left in the evening, with the work for these two days left to be done at night—Chu Tingwu was a bit more relaxed. She kept her habit of getting up early, even on weekends, and didn't sleep in. She could finish her homework in the morning... and could also go across the street to ask questions from two teachers... well... anyway, she finished her homework early.
Not long after she got home, the door opened, and Sanwulu "meow-woo-woo" slipped in, sniffing the air and tilting its head.
Chu Tingwu: "Is it because I smell like that lion cat?"
Once you get used to it, you don't notice it yourself.
She sat cross-legged, browsing fan comments and some private messages, occasionally replying to a few requests, and chatting with Sanwulu about today's events.
She said a few words, and Sanwulu "meowed" in response. Sanwulu placed its paw on her knee, and the conversation between the two flowed naturally.
However, after Chu Tingwu fell asleep—
Sanwulu, lying on the bedside, opened its eyes, silently landing on the floor, and quietly walked to the window.
System: "……"
The young one is used to its mother's footsteps, so it won't wake up.
It opened the window for Sanwulu.
Soon, the system, through the school's surveillance, saw the scene of the tortoiseshell cat beating up the lion cat. The two cats fought and cursed each other, from the playground to the lakeside, until the lion cat fled with its tail between its legs, and the tortoiseshell cat bit its butt, getting a mouthful of fur.
System: "……"
It knew it!
