Chapter 178 Sending the Cat Over
Night, like a huge, deep blue silk ribbon, heavily enveloped the entire world.
Yu Xiang walked slowly toward Zhao Yu's residence, with a black cat perched on her shoulder.
Yu Xiang frowned slightly, her mouth opening and closing as she muttered softly, "Mimi, you're so stupid. I've told you Zhao Yu's address so many times, how come you still can't remember it? I have to bring you here myself."
Mimi's half-closed eyes widened instantly, and she meowed in dissatisfaction. Then, she stretched out her furry paws and started scratching at Yuxiang's hair.
This cat isn't stupid. Its owner is terrible with directions, yet they have the nerve to say that about it.
Yu Xiang's hair instantly became a mess, frizzy and unkempt.
"Ah—you naughty little boobs!"
Yuka let out a low scream and angrily reached out to grab Mimi on her shoulder.
Mimi was prepared and leaped down, landing on the ground with a "whoosh," leaving Yuxiang's hand empty-handed.
After landing, Mimi turned around, her bright green eyes flashing defiantly in the dim light, her tail wagging rhythmically behind her, as if showing off to Yuzuru.
Hehe, this cat can't catch you.
Seeing this, Yu Xiang puffed up her cheeks in anger.
She reached out again, trying to catch the cat, but Mimi deliberately played with her, jumping and dodging left and right, weaving back and forth around Yuzuru, so Yuzuru couldn't even touch a single cat hair.
After struggling for a while, Youxiang finally stopped. She narrowed her eyes slightly, stood up straight, crossed her arms over her chest, and said with a slight threatening smile, "Mimi, do you want to never get to eat Meow Meow Fruit again?"
"Meow!"
That's outrageous!
Mimi let out a low moan.
Then, Mimi reluctantly walked towards Youxiang, every hair on her body conveying a sense of helplessness.
Yu Xiang scooped up Mimi and held her tightly in her arms, frantically rubbing Mimi's face with both hands while muttering, "Little brat, you dared to overestimate yourself and fight me. Now you're behaving yourself."
Mimi was so dizzy from being rubbed that she let out a cry of utter despair.
A short while later, Youxiang arrived downstairs at Zhao Yu's residence.
She stopped, looked up, and stared intently at a balcony on the third floor. Pointing to it, she said to Mimi, "Mimi, look carefully, it's over there."
"Meow!"
Mimi perked up.
Leave it to me, the cat!
After saying that, Mimi jumped off Youxiang's shoulder and landed silently.
It nimbly leaped between the air conditioner units outside the building and soon reached the third-floor balcony of Youxiangzhi.
The room on the third floor was completely dark, with no lights on and you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
But cats have excellent night vision. Mimi's eyes gleam with a ghostly green light in the dark, like two mysterious gems. Even in the darkest of nights, she can see everything around her clearly.
Mimi saw Qin Zhuo resting on the living room sofa through the glass door of the balcony.
Qin Zhuo lay quietly, breathing evenly.
Mimi tilted her head and twitched her ears slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
How can I get the owner's man to see it?
On the sofa, Qin Zhuo, who wasn't sleeping soundly to begin with, instantly sensed a gaze upon him, thanks to the vigilance he developed during the apocalypse.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his sleepiness instantly vanished, and sat up, his gaze fixed intently on the balcony.
Just then, his gaze met Mimi's eyes, which were glowing in the darkness.
Those eyes, a ghostly green, resembled two will-o'-the-wisps burning in the darkness, exuding an eerie quality.
Qin Zhuo felt his heart suddenly clench, and he was so frightened that he almost jumped off the sofa. His whole body tensed up.
Fortunately, Mimi first let out a soft "meow," a sound that seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
Qin Zhuo's tense nerves relaxed slightly upon hearing the cat's meow.
Oh, it's a cat!
I thought there was a monster.
Is this cat Mimi?
With this question in mind, Qin Zhuo got up, quietly walked to the balcony, and gently closed the glass door to prevent the noise from the balcony from reaching the house and waking Zhao Yu, who was already asleep.
Qin Zhuo looked down at Mimi, who was squatting at his feet. The cat's round body looked even rounder in the dim light, and it was also very fluffy.
He kicked its furry rear end with his foot in annoyance and said, "What are you doing here? Why are you causing trouble in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Mimi was kicked and clearly became unhappy. It scratched Qin Zhuo's trouser leg and then moved to the side, as if deliberately keeping its distance from Qin Zhuo to express its protest.
Then, it raised a paw and pointed downstairs.
Qin Zhuo understood, walked to the railing, and looked down at the building below.
Under the dim streetlights, Yuka was standing there.
She was wearing a rather thin coat and shivering slightly in the cold wind, but her face was beaming with an excited smile.
Upon seeing Qin Zhuo, she waved happily at him.
Zhuozhuo saw her!
Qin Zhuo looked at Youxiang, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, his originally cold face softening.
Yuxiang's smile has always been the little sun in his heart.
At that moment, Yuka took out her phone from her pocket and started typing with her head down.
Seeing this, Qin Zhuo also picked up his phone and opened it to check.
Sure enough, Xiaoyouzi was sending him a message.
Yuxiang: [I've asked Mimi to protect you. Zhao Yu is still in some danger; with Mimi around, you'll be safer.]
Qin Zhuo glanced at Mimi, who was licking her paws to the side, and couldn't help but grumble to himself.
Does he need this stupid cat's protection?
Mimi noticed Qin Zhuo's disgusted gaze, stopped licking her paws, and looked up at Qin Zhuo.
What are you looking at!
The man that cats hate the most.
Qin Zhuo looked away.
It really is a stupid cat.
He looked down at Yuzuri and replied, "No need, you take it back. I don't need it."
Yuxiang quickly sent another message: [Let Mimi protect you, okay? That way I'll feel at ease. Zhuozhuo, just listen to me, okay?]
As Qin Zhuo looked at the text on his phone screen, he could almost see Youxiang's big, watery eyes looking at him pitifully.
He smiled helplessly and replied, "Okay, whatever you say."
Yuzu Scent: [Kiss.jpg]
Qin Zhuo's heart softened when she saw the cute emoji, and she replied: 【Go home early, be careful on the road.】
Yuxiang: [Okay. I'm going back now. Zhuozhuo, take good care of yourself too.]
Qin Zhuo stood on the balcony, watching Youxiang's figure gradually disappear into the darkness until it was completely out of sight before he turned and went inside.
The room fell silent again, but a warmth filled his heart.
