Su He was startled by these words, then became anxious, "Ah? Where did Dahei go? Why is he gone? Did he go out to find food by himself?"

Su Miao: "No, after you left, it came back once, but when it saw you weren't there, it left and never came back."

Su He breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this. "It's alright. It probably went back to the mountains. It grew up in the mountains, so it shouldn't be in any danger. It probably just can't stand staying at home. But if it goes back, remember to feed it some food. I'll bring you something delicious when I get back."

Upon hearing this, Su Miao quickly assured her, "Don't worry, big sister, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Su He wasn't too worried about Da Hei. After all, it had been a wild cat since it was a kitten, so it was probably used to it and preferred life in the mountains. She didn't interfere and just let it do as it pleased.

The next day, when Su He was exercising in the backyard in the morning, she seemed to vaguely hear a cat meowing. When she looked up, she found a black cat on the wall that looked exactly like Da Hei.

She immediately felt something was off, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to really look exactly like Big Black. She quickly went over and asked, "Big Black, is that you?"

The black cat seemed particularly happy to see her, and its usual aloofness vanished. It jumped down and started circling around her, meowing with a mix of joy and grievance.

Su He was immediately astonished, "Big Black, is that really you? When did you get here? How did you find your way here?"

Without waiting for its reply, I picked it up and carefully checked it for any wounds. I was relieved when I found nothing.

Then I felt a pang of sympathy. I knew without a doubt that it must have come all this way on its own. It must have been such a long and arduous journey!

If I had known this would happen, I would have just brought it with me from the beginning.

At this moment, Li Yi, who was standing nearby, noticed what was happening and came over. "What's wrong? Do you know this cat?"

Su He nodded. "I recognize it. It's the cat I keep in the village. I never expected it to follow me here!"

"What? It followed me here by itself?" Li Yi was also somewhat surprised. "How did it find its way here? Did it follow the scent?"

Su He shook her head. "I don't know, but I guess so."

Li Yi was filled with admiration upon hearing this, and looked at the obedient black cat nestled in her arms with some envy. "That's so nice. I wanted to have a cat when I was little, but my family wouldn't let me, saying they didn't have enough food to feed it."

Upon hearing this, Su He immediately said, "Dahei is very capable; it can catch mice and solve its food problem on its own!"

"Really?! That's amazing!"

He became even more envious and wanted to touch it, but Big Black seemed to have eyes in the back of its head and ran away before he could even touch it.

Li Yi's outstretched hand froze awkwardly in place. Then, pretending nothing had happened, he touched his nose and asked, "Your cat is here. Shouldn't you be happy? Why are you looking so gloomy?"

Su He sighed, "I'm happy, but I'm living in a dormitory now, so I can't take care of it at all!"

Although Tian Zhenzhen seems like a nice person, the dormitory is only so big, and it's not her own home. Keeping a cat would definitely make a mess, and there's no cat litter now, so it's inconvenient for her to go to the toilet in the dormitory building.

Li Yi laughed when he heard her say that. "Is that all? You should have said so earlier. It's easy. We can just keep it at our institute. We can feed it any leftover food from the canteen."

"Really?"

Su He was surprised to hear this, "Does the institute allow them to raise children?"

"Why not? We used to raise them, but we don't know why they disappeared. You can go ask in the kitchen, it'll definitely be fine."

Su He was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this and quickly called out to Da Hei, "Da Hei, come here quickly, I'll take you to the kitchen to ask. If they agree, you can live here from now on."

Big Black meowed in response, but unlike her excitement, its tone was calm, as if it didn't care.

Su He didn't care, she just picked it up and walked to the back, and Li Yi followed.
