Chapter 56 The Fat Cat Incident Let's call him Fernael, fat...

"Ah!" Jing Zhao was startled. Wen Han was gnawing on ribs when a gray shadow drifted by, causing the barbecue grill to collapse. Wen Han stared blankly at the grilled corn, meat, and unidentified shellfish lying on the ground; he hadn't even taken a few bites.

"I knew it!" Jing Zhao shouted and rushed into the house to call Jing Feng out. "Brother, this house is haunted! I've told you so many times!"

Wen Han was skeptical; he had never seen a ghost who liked to eat grilled fish.

Wen Han hates eating fish, Jing Zhao dislikes the many fish bones, and Jing Yu has no interest in barbecue. The only grilled fish was one that Jing Feng wanted to eat, and that fish was very large and conspicuous, but it has now disappeared.

"How could there be ghosts in broad daylight?" Jing Feng scratched his head, being led by Jing Zhao to search for ghosts.

Things that have fallen on the ground are definitely not edible. Although Wen Han thought it would be fine to eat the barbecue on top, Jing Zhao strictly forbade her from doing so and insisted that everything be thrown into the trash can.

"Where's my fish?" Jing Feng asked curiously.

Jing Zhao said with a cold expression, "It was probably taken by a ghost."

"It must be a cat." It was too noisy outside, so Jingyu came out to see what was going on. There were suspicious gray hairs on the lawn.

"It's definitely a big gray cat," Jing Zhao said doubtfully. "Could it have sneaked into our yard?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of clanging and banging sounds came from the backyard.

Judging from the sound, Wen Han said, "That cat must be quite large."

Jing Zhao, being bold, put on thick barbecue gloves and was about to catch the cat when Jing Feng scolded him. The only adults here besides Jing Feng were the hired cook, who, fearing the cat, had already hidden inside. The task of catching the cat fell to Jing Feng.

*

Jing Zhao asked Wen Han with some concern, "Do you think my older brother is alright?"

"That cat's meow is really majestic." Wen Han estimated that at least five minutes had passed, and Jing Feng still hadn't caught the cat. It seemed that Jing Yu had gone to borrow a cage.

Jing Yu left, and a few minutes later, Jing Feng came running back in a disheveled state, covered in gray fur.

"I really can't believe it," Jing Zhao said with dissatisfaction. "Brother, you're a grown man, and you got beaten up by a cat and your hair is all disheveled."

Before Jingfeng could argue, Jingzhao snatched the gloves away: "I have to go."

Jing Zhao only glanced at it before hurriedly fleeing back.

"I knew it wasn't an ordinary cat," Jing Feng said, feeling wronged. "That cat was as big as a mountain!"

Jing Zhao added: "A prehistoric giant cat."

"How big can a cat be? Does it grow as big as a tiger?" Wen Han put on gloves. "I'll go catch it."

The thieving cat hid in the bushes. If Wen Han went in, he would be at its mercy and could only wait for it to come out on its own. He also had a fish in his hand, uncooked, hoping to lure the cat out.

"System, can you see where that cat is?"

"My goodness!" the system exclaimed in shock. "Host, that cat is huge!"

Wen Han scoffed. He crouched down behind the bushes, and when the cat emerged from the bushes, he was stunned. The cat was like a large, gray triangular mountain peak, its imposing body towering so high that Wen Han couldn't even see its head.

"Fine, I'll give it my all!"

The system closed its eyes, unable to bear watching the cat-human battle.

When Jingyu returned with the cat treats and cage, anyone who didn't know better would have thought there was a fight going on in the backyard.

Where is Wen Han?

Jing Zhao said with lingering fear, "He's still catching cats."

*

The fat cat is so big that it can't be hugged by two arms.

Even Wen Han, who exercises regularly, felt her arms were sore and swollen.

"This cat is heavier than a carton of milk." As Wen Han walked, she felt like she was going to sink into the ground.

The system didn't speak; it was taking notes diligently. Compared to the giant cat, the host was still far more ferocious.

The cat was probably tired from running around, and with Wen Han holding it, it was too lazy to move. It was just tough on Wen Han's arm. This was the scene that Jing Yu saw when he ran over with the cage.

"Jingyu, quick! Come and lend a hand!" His arm is almost ruined.

The fat cat didn't resist being held by Jing Yu. Wen Han sat on a chair to catch her breath, while Jing Feng and Jing Zhao surrounded Jing Yu and exclaimed, "This cat is so big!"

The cat meowed in dissatisfaction and swung its paw, nearly injuring Jing Feng.

Jing Zhao asked, "What should we do with the cat?" She definitely didn't dare keep it at home, but what if it got hit by a car if she let it out of the neighborhood?

Wen Han finally recovered: "If I take it back, it'll definitely get bruised every day."

etc.

Wen Han suddenly stood up and carefully touched the cat's head. The cat did not resist and even squinted its eyes.

Jing Zhao exclaimed in delight, "Wen Han, it listens to you so well!"

As Wen Han stroked the cat's head, he thought to himself that he had recently entered a period of burnout. He wasn't a perpetual motion machine when it came to anger, and there were always times when he was too tired to cause trouble at home. Moreover, he also had to focus his mind on dealing with Gu Cheng, which was a double test of his mental and physical strength.

Wen Han asked, "Has it been vaccinated?"

"All the cats in the neighborhood get vaccinated on time."

Wen Han raised an eyebrow.

Jing Zhao asked worriedly, "Wen Han, are you really going to take it back and raise it?"

"Yeah, it's okay, it doesn't bite me." It's just a bit heavy.

——

While the Wen family was still asleep in the morning, they were "invited back" for the second time by people sent by the Gu family. Fortunately, Wen Han was not there, otherwise they would have had to go to the Gu family again.

"Then what?"

“They must have agreed on the terms,” Jing Yu smiled. “Although we don’t know the specifics.”

Wen Han could only relieve her worries by drinking water, but this also meant that she could go home with peace of mind.

When Wen Qingke heard someone knocking on the door, he thought it was someone from the Gu family again, so he used a broom to block the view through the peephole.

Wen Han's hands were about to break, and she said impatiently, "Open the door now!"

Wen Qingke breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door, only to be startled again by the huge gray object that Wen Han was holding.

"Hanhan, what's this?"

"Never seen a cat before?" Wen Han put the cat on the ground. "From today onwards, it will live here."

Wen Ruo and Wen Ruan were picking vegetables when they saw a huge cat running on the ground, and they were both stunned.

"Where did you get your cat?"

"I found it in the neighborhood," Wen Han added. "Not in our neighborhood, but in other neighborhoods, they're so nice they even vaccinate their cats."

"Our family's circumstances aren't suitable for keeping a cat," Wen Ruo advised. "Where would we get the money to buy cat food?"

Wen Han pulled a large bag of cat food out of her backpack: "You don't need to spend money, I have my own money."

Although the cat was huge, it was very agile. It flew onto the table without much effort, and with a kick of its hind legs, it overturned the small basket, and Wen Ruozhe's edamame beans rolled all over the ground.

Wen Ruo: "..."

Wen Han chuckled to himself. If he did this, others would definitely laugh at him for being childish; it was much easier to have the cat do it.

Wen Ruan hesitated. He felt that the cat in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

*

Wen Han carried the cat back to her room and whispered, "You need to be careful from now on. You can't pee on my bed, but you can on other people's beds. I encourage you to go there often. You can play with anything except my homework and test papers, okay?"

The cat let out a lazy meow.

"Host, cats don't understand human speech," the system suggested. "Would you like me to teach you cat language?"

"Studying so many subjects every day is already a headache enough, what would happen if there was another one?" Wen Han refused, "I think this cat is very intelligent. Look, as soon as it got home, it kicked over the edamame that Wen Ruo was shelling."

We haven't named it yet. Wen Han thought for a moment, "Little Fatty?"

"Host, it should be called Big Fat."

The system's interruption seemed to have given Wen Han an idea: "Then let's call her Fernael, Fat Nai'er."

The name sounded like a brother of the system that wasn't related by blood. Ignoring the system's commotion, Wen Han scratched Fei Nai'er's chin.

Wen Ruo dared not speak out against his anger. This fat cat seemed to be in cahoots with Wen Han, and would come to cause him trouble at the drop of a hat. When asked to discipline his cat, Wen Han pretended to study.

"Get out." Wen Ruo pointed to the door; the naughty cat had just torn his exam paper.

The cat let out a meow, and before Wen Ruo could react, she fell flat on her back.

Wen Han shook her head. If Wen Ruo could have been as careful as Wen Qingke and Wen Ruan in trying to please the cat, maybe Fei'er wouldn't have deliberately targeted him.

When Wen Qingke first saw a cat that could knock people over, he had to walk around it.

——

"Haha, that's hilarious!" Fang Songxia said with interest. "I'll come over to your house next weekend to see your cat."

The report cards were posted right after the holiday, and this time even the rankings were released. The classroom door was as crowded as a vegetable market.

Yang Lanjun produced a photocopy from somewhere and spread it out on the table for them to see.

"Wow, Jingyu got first place!" Fang Songxia exclaimed in surprise. "Is his score really that good?"

Thanks to physics, Wen Han made remarkable progress this time and almost got to take the exam in Class Two. Fang Songxia performed steadily and still took the exam in Class Five.

Wen Han's gaze traveled downwards until she saw a name she had expected.

Zhang Huihui's performance this time was a dramatic drop, falling from the middle to the bottom. I heard that the homeroom teacher even called Wen Ruan over.

Why are you calling Wen Ruan over?

Wen Han replied, "I'll try to find out the situation indirectly."

If a student's grades decline significantly, the homeroom teacher will first talk to the student, then talk to their close friends to ask if they are dating or something, and finally notify the parents.

Zhang Huihui's grades slipped because of Lin He. Wen Han asked curiously, "What did Lin He get on the test this time?"

"Him?" Yang Lanjun scoffed. "He's even improved."

"Wen Han, the teacher is calling you."

"Huh?" Why are you calling him when his grades have improved? You only get called to the office when your grades have dropped.

*

"Wen Han is here." The homeroom teacher was typing something on the computer.

"Come, sit down," the homeroom teacher said with a smile. "You've made great progress this time."

Wen Han knew something was waiting for him, and sure enough, the homeroom teacher continued, "Sigh, you had a conflict with Zhang Huihui before, but your grades weren't affected. However, he's dropped to the bottom this time."

Do you know why?

The true intentions were revealed when the true purpose was finally understood.

Author's Note: The Nair family has gained another member.

I don't know if you guys have seen Snoopy. Fat Nail's power is about the same as "The Neighbor's Cat". It's that super fierce cat that can knock a person and a dog over with one swipe [glasses]. Although the cartoon is exaggerated, it's ABO now, so it's not surprising that such a giant cat appears, right? [okay]
