Hmm...a girl who's like a cat.
...
"Don't be in such a hurry next time you eat here. At a buffet, you can eat however you want, and there aren't many people in the restaurant, so no one will fight you for food."
On the way home, Wenmo had several bags in his hands, filled with the thick clothes he had just bought.
"oh."
Xia Lian nodded gently, just like a child receiving criticism.
Wen Mo didn't say anything more, but occasionally looked up at the top of her head, as if he was thinking about something.
"Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time: you're a lot like a cat."
He suddenly said something inexplicable, causing Xia Lian to turn her head in bewilderment, tilting her head slightly in confusion.

"So cute..." Xia Lian listened carefully to his description.
“I wanted to bring it home to raise, but... it still didn’t work out because my dad didn’t agree to me raising a cat. He refused no matter what I said, always saying that I was too young to take care of a cat.”
Wen Mo sighed, his expression somewhat forlorn.
"In the end, I could only put it next to a small patch of grass in a park and build a shelter for it with two pieces of cardboard. But after I learned that I couldn't keep a cat, my face was always gloomy, and the cat seemed to understand my emotions."
Xia Lian seemed a little sad. Sensing his distress, she tried to stand on tiptoe to stroke his head.
"It meowed at me twice, and I haven't seen it since that day. I don't know where it went, and I still remember its meows to this day..."
"So, could you meow like a cat so I can experience the feeling of having a cat again?" Wen Mo asked sincerely.
