Chapter 68 This cat is dead, burn paper money if you need anything!
Shen Jia stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated residential building.
This residential building, like the surrounding houses that are closely packed together, is designed for ordinary people without superpowers, with several families crammed into each room.
Shen Jia turned to Chen Yunfei beside her and said, "I'll stay here. I can walk the rest of the way by myself. You don't need to see me off anymore, brother."
Chen Yunfei looked around. Every now and then, passersby would glance at him, probably because he didn't look like a resident of the area.
"When you're giving someone a gift, you should see it through to the end. You can't just give up halfway. I like to finish what I start, so don't be so polite with me."
As he spoke, he reached out and patted Shen Jia on the shoulder.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jia did not take Chen Yunfei upstairs, but instead turned around and walked downstairs.
The stairwell was dark and damp, filled with a musty smell.
Chen Yunfei wrinkled his nose and asked with a puzzled look, "Why are you living in the basement? The environment in the basement is not very good, it's damp and dark."
Shen Jia sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. "Yes, I live here mainly because of my dad. Several times, the people I live with have taken advantage of my absence to bully my dad. They see that my father and I are helpless and act recklessly."
“I had no other choice, so I asked the staff to let us live in the basement. Although the environment in the basement is not good, at least no one will bully my dad, and he can live a peaceful life.”
Chen Yunfei asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with your dad? Why is he being bullied?"
Shen Jia's eyes dimmed, and his voice lowered.
“After the apocalypse began, I was extremely anxious and immediately went to my father’s workplace to find him. When I found him in the lab, he had inexplicably become mentally impaired.”
Chen Yunfei stroked his chin. "Could it be due to the influence of the blood moon? This blood moon is very strange; the zombies only appeared because of it."
Shen Jia nodded. "Maybe, but no matter what, I will take care of him."
His mother's health deteriorated after giving birth to him, and coupled with her poor mental state, she passed away when he was one year old.
From then on, his father raised him all by himself.
As they spoke, they arrived at a door to the basement.
Shen Jia stopped, turned around, and gave Chen Yunfei a grateful smile. "I've arrived. Brother, you should go back soon too, don't keep my sister and the others waiting."
Chen Yunfei smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, then you can go in."
After saying that, he turned and strode away.
Shen Jia opened the door with his key, and a pungent smell hit him.
In the dim light, a disheveled man sat motionless in a chair, like a statue.
Hearing the door open, he only slightly moved his eyes, his gaze remaining completely unmoved.
Shen Jia seemed used to all of this, showing no disgust on his face. He quickly walked to the man's side and said, "Dad, I'm back."
The seated father did not respond.
Shen Jia smiled knowingly, sat down on the stool next to him, and began to recount the events of the day.
"Dad, we have instant noodles to eat today, and there are two packs."
"By the way, Dad, the lady who bought my things today looked kind of familiar, like I'd seen her somewhere before, but I'm sure I don't know her. Isn't that strange?"
...
Chen Yunfei returned to the villa, and as soon as he entered, he smelled the enticing aroma of the food.
By this time, lunch had already been served steaming hot.
His arrival was just in time for dinner.
Yu Xiang remained seated at the table, still pretending to be serious. She picked up a few bites of food, put them in her mouth, and chewed slowly, looking as if she were savoring some exquisite delicacy.
Actually: Waaah^, she's in so much pain, eating this tasteless stuff makes her want to vomit.
However, this time, Qiao Yue did not show a puzzled expression as usual, because she had already noticed that this little girl ate very little at every meal.
Therefore, she concluded that Xiaoyouzi must be a picky eater, only liking to eat snacks and not interested in regular meals at all.
No wonder she's not very tall; with that baby face, she looks like a high school student who hasn't graduated, even though she's actually a few years older than her.
"Meow!"
Mimi used her furry paws to pry at Youxiang's shoes with all her might, as if she wanted to tear them off completely.
Yu Xiang looked down at Mimi at her feet. "Mimi, what are you doing? Do you want my shoes?"
Mimi raised her paw and pointed directly at her empty cat bowl, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer: I want more food, there wasn't enough food today!
Yu Xiang: "No, Mimi, you're on a diet. If you eat this, it'll all be gone."
Upon hearing this, Mimi became so angry that all the fur on her body stood on end, making her look like a fluffy ball of fur.
It kept meowing, as if in protest.
Chen Yunfei watched from the side, "Mimi seems really angry! Is it cursing you, Xiaoyouzi, in its cat language?"
Yuxiang frowned, looking troubled.
"Mimi, I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't lose weight, it could kill you. Don't blame me if that happens."
"Meow?"
Mimi tilted her head, looking at Youxiang with a puzzled expression.
I may have eaten a lot, but I'm not so fat that I'm going to get sick, am I? Is my owner trying to scare me?
Yuxiang seemed to have seen through Mimi's thoughts and continued, "Zhuozhuo told me that if he comes back from outside and finds that you haven't lost weight, he'll make you into an electric roasted cat."
"Meow!!!"
Upon hearing this, Mimi jumped three feet high in fright.
This man is crazy!
No wonder you weighed me yesterday, that's why.
I should have stayed home this morning instead of taking that man to his destination; people who abuse cats shouldn't be taken to such places.
Mimi was so angry that she kept spinning around in circles.
Should I run away from home?
Yes, let's get out of this horrible place.
But what about my delicious mouse?
There's so much of it, not just a little bit. If we leave, it will all be gone.
If I had known, I shouldn't have...
Qiao Yue picked up a piece of food, put it in her mouth and chewed slowly, glancing at Mimi who was pacing around in circles.
"What's wrong with Mimi? Is she possessed?"
Chen Yunfei stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I think it's probably regretting the past right now, probably regretting that it ate so much and got fat."
No, this cat regrets entering this "den of thieves".
Chen Yunfei seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes lit up, and he said to Youxiang, "By the way, Brother Qin said that while he's away, I'll train Mimi for you."
"Meow!"
Another mournful wail escaped Mimi's lips.
That man is gone, but I can still see his shadow all the time. How am I supposed to live like this?!
Mimi lay sprawled on the ground in despair, looking like a lump of mud.
This cat is dead. If you need anything, burn some paper money for it!
Yuxiang glanced at the lifeless Mimi, then smiled and said to Chen Yunfei, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Chen."
Chen Yunfei patted his chest and said, "No trouble at all. You can rest assured to leave Mimi to me."
