The setting sun sank into the sky, dyeing the clouds into a gradient of orange and light purple.
The surface of the lake was shimmering with golden light. The evening breeze blew through, creating layers of ripples that blurred the reflected shadows of the trees.
As dinner time approaches, the tourists in the park gradually disperse, leaving only a few elderly people taking a leisurely stroll, walking slowly on the stone road.
From deep within the bushes, a calico stray cat quietly emerged. Its fur was a little messy, stained with some grass debris, but it couldn't hide its lively appearance.
It jumped lightly onto the bench, with its tail raised high, licking its paws slowly, and its emerald eyes looked towards the end of the path with vigilance and expectation.
Not long after.
A crisp sound broke the silence.
"Little Meow Meow, Sister is here again."
Not far away, Luo Shuling was holding Luo Shuhe's arm and walking briskly towards them.
Then he squatted down and took out sausage and dried fish from the plastic bag.
When the little Sanhua saw Luo Shuling, he immediately raised his tail and trotted over, circling around her feet as if he knew the way.
"Wait for me on time today too." Luo Shuling squatted down and took out a small folding bowl from her bag.
Little Sanhua couldn't wait to rub her wrist with her head, making a pleasant purring sound in her throat.
"Don't worry, I know you like this."
The little three-flowered cat's ears twitched, and its emerald cat eyes stared at her fingers, but it sat there obediently without moving, looking quite smart.
"Eat, eat."
Luo Shuling put the small bowl on the ground.
Only then did Xiao Sanhua gracefully lower her head and enjoy the delicious food.
"Eat more, eat more."
As Luo Shuling spoke, she gently stroked its warm back, feeling the soft touch of fur on her fingertips.
"Meow~~~"
The little calico squinted its eyes comfortably, occasionally letting out a satisfied "meow".
Under a big tree nearby, Luo Shuhe stood with his arms folded, his temperament as cold as frost.
She watched her sister interacting intimately with the cat, and her eyes softened for a rare moment, but quickly returned to their usual calmness.
Then I heard Luo Shuling continue to say with a smile:
"If you behave yourself and grow up, you can be sterilized."
"Meow~~~"
“.....”
Luo Shuhe was silent for a moment. Although the scene before her was a bit dramatic, she also knew that doing so would be good for these stray cats.
Almost all stray cats of appropriate age in Donghu Park have been sent to the Public Service Department for sterilization surgery, which is also to control the number of stray animals.
She shook her head gently, walked over and sat down on a bench nearby, habitually crossed her slender legs, supported her chin with one hand, and quietly watched the heartwarming scene before her.
But there are unknown thoughts hidden in his eyes.
Luo Shuling stroked the cat for a long time before she stood up, trotted over, sat down next to Luo Shuhe, and said softly:
"See, stray cats aren't necessarily just passing strangers in our lives."
"Even though this little flower didn't remember me at first, as long as I come here a few more times and get familiar with it, it will never forget me."
Listening to this, Luo Shuhe's face remained expressionless. He simply asked calmly, "Shuling, what do you want to say?"
"I want to say that Shu He is a sentimental, soft-hearted fool." Luo Shuling put away her usual giggles and looked at her seriously:
"Shu He, why didn't you tell your brother from the beginning?"
"Of course, I understand you."
"You really want to talk, you want to recognize each other, but you can't open your mouth. Do you want to think that we are just a little stray cat that your brother accidentally fed once?"
"I didn't want to use the previous agreement to tie my brother down. I wanted to attract his attention again through my own efforts, but I didn't expect Shu Ning to get there first."
"I wanted to fight, but seeing their relationship quickly heating up, I didn't dare to make a full move, fearing Shu Ning would commit suicide again due to depression. So I settled for the next best thing and was willing to share my brother with Shu Ning, even willing to be a mistress, her underground lover."
"In the end, to protect my brother's legs and to protect our family, I stopped everything and didn't argue at all. I even went along with it and pushed my brother to Shu Ning, thinking that as long as they quickly confirmed their relationship, I wouldn't have to worry about my unrealistic ideas."
Having said this, she reached out and gently pinched Luo Shuhe's pale cheek, her tone filled with heartache and helplessness: "Shuhe, gentleness is a sin."
"You've always given in to Shu Ning and protected me since we were little..."
“Sometimes, you can actually think more about yourself.”
"Love is selfish, isn't it?"
"Are you done?" After hearing this, Luo Shuhe gently moved her hand away, with no expression on his face.
"Not yet."
"It's okay, I'll take that as your final thought."
"Wow, Shu He, you are so domineering."
"Same here. When it comes to being overbearing, I'm not as overbearing as you, Shuling." Luo Shuhe sighed softly at this time:
"Forget it, there's no point saying this now. Even though my brother is a scumbag, at least he has a bottom line. As long as he and Shu Ning officially confirm their relationship, your crazy idea will be in vain."
"Indeed." Luo Shuling agreed with this statement and asked again:
"What about you, Shu He?"
"I... can be a mistress if I can, but if not, I'll just be a sister and stay with him." Luo Shuhe's tone was unusually relaxed, as if she had taken everything lightly, but the slightly trembling ending of her voice revealed the turmoil in her heart.
"You keep saying my ideas are crazy, but aren't yours crazy too?" Luo Shuling covered her forehead helplessly and sighed softly:
"You and Shu Ning are both hopelessly love-sick."
Luo Shuhe shrugged:
"Maybe. Didn't you say we were already sick?"
"Alas... I really can't do anything about you." Luo Shuling said, reaching out her hand and gently wiping away a tear that slipped from the corner of her eye.
Then he slowly stood up and walked towards the little Sanmao playing in the grass nearby.
"Meow meow, sister is here to play with you for a while."
