"There are a lot of stray cats around here. I come here several times a week to feed them."
Seeing Xiao Chen, Shen Zhiyi seemed very happy: "I didn't expect to meet you here."
Xiao Chen stretched his head out and took a look forward: "There are indeed quite a lot of them. It seems that you do come here often. They don't seem to be afraid of you anymore."
Generally speaking, cats living in the wild are not as clingy as domestic cats.
They remain extremely vigilant, especially towards humans.
But these stray cats relaxed all their vigilance, snuggled up to Shen Zhiyi, and ate cat food in big mouthfuls.
It seems that I am quite familiar with her.
"Yes, I have been feeding them for over a year. Look, this is just a big raccoon. It loves to fight."
"This is just a fat orange, it eats a lot..."
"This cow cat is a small flower, very clingy, and this calico is always the last one to leave."
Shen Zhiyi pointed at the kittens excitedly. She could accurately call out the name of each cat.
"It's great that they met you." Xiao Chen nodded gently as he listened: "They have met the right person."
"They...can all meet the right person, but what about me?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen's words seemed to have touched the secret deep in Shen Zhiyi's heart.
She trembled all over and froze on the spot, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Chen.
"Miss Shen..." When Xiao Chen met her gaze, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
"Call me by my name." Shen Zhiyi bravely met her gaze and spoke word by word, "My name is Shen Zhiyi. Do you remember it clearly?"
"Remember it clearly, Shen..." Xiao Chen habitually called her Miss Shen.
But under her cold gaze, he had to change his words: "I know what you mean."
"That's right." Shen Zhiyi's stern face was like melting ice, and he smiled brightly.
“Xiao Chen, do you know? I often remind you, but you often call me Miss Shen.”
"I don't know if you did it on purpose or if you really don't have a good memory."
"Have we met many times before?" Xiao Chen smelled a hint of something unusual from her words.
Xiao Chen could feel that she had very complicated emotions when she was chatting with him.
But the two of them had no connection at all before, so why did she have so many emotions towards him?
Could it be the previous life?
Xiao Chen's mind buzzed, as if he was trying to catch some news, but he couldn't catch any.
After thinking too much, Xiao Chen got another headache and had to give up.
"What...are you thinking about?" Shen Zhiyi asked softly, seeing that Xiao Chen's expression seemed to be a little painful and struggling.
"Nothing, some things give me a headache just thinking about them." Xiao Chen shook his head, and he felt a little better.
"Oh, really? Then don't think about it." Shen Zhiyi's eyes were a little disappointed.
But her heart could not calm down: "Xiao Chen, how much I wish you could remember me?"
"In my previous life, you gave me a second life, even though our acquaintance was only a fleeting one..."
Xiao Chen naturally couldn't hear her inner monologue. He silently watched the group of stray cats until they were full, then they lay down at Shen Zhiyi's feet, rolling around and acting coquettishly.
She would even expose her belly for Shen Zhiyi to touch.
This shows great trust in her.
"Do you like being with them?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask when he saw how happy she was.
"Yes, I like it very much. You also know that my brother can't take over the Shen family."
Shen Zhiyi gently stroked the head of a three-flowered cat and said faintly, "In the future, I may have to bear great responsibilities."
"But the Shen family's current situation is not very good. Sometimes I have to face many things that I don't want to face."
"After dealing with people for a long time and seeing too much hypocrisy and calculation, it becomes very tiring."
She pointed at the cats and said, "But it's different with them. They are easily satisfied. All they need is a bite of food, and they will trust you completely."
"These little creatures are much more reliable than humans." Xiao Chen touched the head of the last calico cat, and it turned over.
He called out to Shen Zhiyi twice, then walked away calmly with cat steps.
"Why, every time I see you, I always feel that you look worried?" Xiao Chen raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zhiyi.
His eyes were a little confused, because there were some things he still wanted to figure out.
"Really?" Shen Zhiyi smiled faintly: "Maybe it's because the pressure is too great."
Her words were obviously perfunctory, but she didn't seem to want to reveal too much in front of Xiao Chen.
In that case, Xiao Chen didn't ask any more questions.
"It's getting late, let me take you home." Xiao Chen looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
"Okay." Shen Zhiyi nodded gently and went home side by side with Xiao Chen.
Neither side spoke along the way, just looking at the night view on the roadside and the people coming and going.
However, the sound of a quarrel in a street shop caught the attention of the two.
"She's here again. Don't let her go. Call the police."
"Don't think we'll tolerate you just because you're pregnant. You're stealing..."
This is a seafood restaurant with fresh seafood displayed at the door, steamed to order.
I saw Xiao Qian being blocked at the door, with a bag in her hand.
There were two king crabs in the bag. She was blocked at the door by the store owner and several waiters, and her face looked a little panicked.
It was obvious that Xiao Qian had dirty hands and was caught red-handed.
Xiao Chen frowned and instinctively wanted to turn around and leave, but Xiao Qian had already seen him.
"He, he is my family, he is my brother..." Xiao Qian pointed at Xiao Chen and shouted: "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen is me."
"Stop, are you her brother?" The shop owner stopped Xiao Chen and said, "Your sister has stolen seafood from my house several times in a row, the amount is several thousand."
"The last time I caught her, I saw she was pregnant, broke, and had no food to eat. I felt sorry for her and still gave her a meal."
"But she's coming this time? Our store can't afford such trouble."
After just a few words, Xiao Chen understood the cause.
Xiao Qian probably had no money and was pregnant, so she had some bad thoughts.
The store's seafood tank was displayed at the door, and she stole something from it twice.
At first, the shop owner felt sorry for her and didn't bother with her, but ended up having her eyes on this shop.
"If the amount is large, call the police." Xiao Chen said calmly, "I'm not her brother, don't listen to her nonsense."
"Xiao Chen, please help me, help me..." Xiao Qian pushed away several waiters who were blocking her and grabbed Xiao Chen's clothes tightly.
"I really have no other choice. I can be hungry, but my baby can't be hungry. I beg you to help me for the sake of our acquaintance..."
"Li Hao's family, don't they even give you food to eat?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, especially since it involved Xiao Qian.
