Chapter 90 Found the Cat
"Let's look somewhere else." someone suggested.
"But where can we find it? We've searched every school." Someone else said with a frustrated look on his face.
Everyone looked at each other and sighed. For a moment, the atmosphere around them was particularly depressing.
Qi Nian frowned and looked through the dorm aunt's gossip, then widened his eyes: [I found where the cat is! ]
The few people who had their heads down raised their heads in unison and looked at Qi Nian excitedly.
Qi Nian's face looked unhappy: [Those cats were caught by the dormitory aunt! But why did she catch these cats? ]
Others have the same question, yes, why catch those cats?
Qi Nian: [Isn't this dorm manager so weird? She always wanted animal fur but couldn't afford it, so she thought of a way to get it for free. That is to pluck the fur of stray cats and make fur. No wonder she was so active when feeding stray cats. It seems that she doesn't like cats at all, but is attracted by the fur of those cats. ]
[But fortunately, the cats didn't smile for the time being, and the dormitory aunt just knocked them away. Maybe she thought it was inconvenient to do it in the dormitory, as it would be easy to be discovered? She planned to secretly transport the cats out tonight. ]
Several people were stunned after hearing this. They really didn't expect that there would be such a person who would kill so many cats just for the so-called fur. It was too cruel. Some people were so angry that they cried.
Fortunately, the cats were not in any danger now, which made them feel relieved.
"What should we do now? Should we just rush in?" Some people couldn't wait any longer and wanted to expose the true identity of the dormitory manager, but they were also afraid that the cats would be in danger.
However, when they knocked on the dormitory manager's door again, she just pretended to be dead and refused to open the door no matter how hard they knocked.
They were at a loss for a moment. They couldn't just break down the door and force their way in, right?
"She will definitely sneak the cat away at night. We might as well wait outside. We will definitely catch her in the act." Qi Nian saw that this was not going to work, so he asked everyone to calm down.
The others thought about it and decided that this was the only option left.
They sighed and deliberately said loudly: "Hey, maybe it's not here with Auntie, let's look somewhere else."
Someone immediately understood what the person meant and quickly responded, "Yes, yes, let's go somewhere else. The school is so big, maybe he is hiding."
In the room, the dormitory manager was listening carefully to the movement at the door. After hearing the conversation between several people, she breathed a sigh of relief. When she came to her senses, her forehead and back were covered with sweat.
Her wrinkled face was filled with a hint of impatience. She cursed these college students for being so idle. They just went to such lengths to find a few missing cats. Was there any need to look for them in such a big way? It made her tremble with fear.
She turned around and opened several boxes in the corner of the room, where several cats were lying.
These cats made her dizzy. She originally wanted to kill them directly, but it was too inconvenient in the student dormitory. Although these cats were dizzy and would not make any noise to alarm others, if there was a smell of blood, it would definitely arouse their suspicion.
So she thought about it and decided to secretly transport the cats out before taking action. Anyway, the cats would not wake up for a while.
In order to ensure the softness of the fur, she did not poison the cats directly. If she did, the fur would become messy, and what would be the point of feeding the cats for so long? So she just dared to daze them.
Thinking of this, she stretched out her wrinkled hands and touched Xiao Bai's fur, her cloudy eyes full of satisfaction. The cat's fur was really soft, without a single stray hair.
Unfortunately, each cat is too small, and the colors and patterns are different, so the final product may not look that good.
Originally, she wanted to feed the cats until they were fatter, but some college students were planning to adopt the cats, so she had to take action in advance.
Unfortunately, one of the orange cats with the same beautiful fur has already been adopted.
——
In order to avoid being discovered, the dormitory manager hardly left her room all day. She ate and went to the bathroom in a hurry, and locked the door if she was away for a few minutes.
What she didn't know was that every time she went out, there was a pair of eyes staring at her.
At the same time, the group "A Big Cat Breeder" was also rapidly refreshing the screen.
:[Picture]
: She never forgets to lock the door when she goes to the toilet. There must be something wrong!
: Be careful and don't make any trouble.
: Don't worry, I'm squatting at the door and she has a blind spot from that side.
It was midnight, the dormitory doors were locked, but the light was on in the dormitory manager's room.
Several people were squatting in the grass next to the dormitory building, looking cautiously at something not far away: "The lights are on, they must be coming out."
"Be quiet so she can't hear you."
The dormitory manager knew nothing about this. She put the cat in a box, held the box with her heavy body, and walked out panting.
At this time, there were almost no people in the school and it was very quiet.
At this moment, a beam of bright light shone over, right on the face of the dormitory manager. She subconsciously squinted her eyes, and hid herself holding the box with a guilty look on her face.
However, the next moment, several figures emerged from the bushes and quickly surrounded her.
The dormitory manager looked a little panicked. She looked at them in panic and asked stutteringly, "What are you doing?"
"Auntie, I was about to ask you what you are doing? Why are you holding a box in the middle of the night? What's in it?" As she said that, she was about to open the box and look inside.
The dormitory auntie was startled and immediately dodged the other person's hand. She said in a panic: "I... I'm going out to take out the trash! Go away, it's late at night, don't come out and scare people. I'm busy, go away quickly."
"Don't go, Auntie. You look so tired carrying such a big box. Give it to us. We will help you take out the trash."
Seeing the other person's hand reaching out to snatch the suitcase from her hand, the dormitory manager cursed in her heart and quickly tried to dodge.
However, there were several young people around, how could she beat them? She watched helplessly as the box was carried over, her fingers trembling, and when she saw them trying to open the box, she quickly said, "Don't open it!"
But how could others listen to him? They quickly opened the box, and the next moment they saw several cats lying in the box.
"Is he dead?" Someone raised his voice and looked at the dormitory manager with gritted teeth: "Are you sick?"
The fat dormitory aunt trembled a little, a little scared, but still said stubbornly: "They are just a few cats, why do you mind your own business!"
Qi Nian was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's sophistry. It was too ridiculous. Doesn't a cat's life have its own life? He really didn't understand why someone would harm such a cute little animal?
You know, cats in schools are mostly well-behaved and trust humans. They must be very sad when they are caught by humans who often feed them. Thinking of this, Qi Nian's eyes were a little sore.
Although he knew that the cats should be fine, Qi Nian still felt worried when he saw them lying quietly in the boxes without moving, so he carefully touched the cats in the box.
"How is it?" someone asked in a low voice, as if afraid of disturbing something or hearing a bad answer.
"Still breathing." Qi Nian retracted his trembling fingers and breathed a sigh of relief.
The others were also relieved, but looking at the quiet cat, they couldn't help but frown: "Why isn't it awake yet?"
Qi Nian frowned and looked up at the dormitory manager who was about to sneak away.
When several people saw her trying to run away, they immediately blocked her path and asked in a bad tone, "What's wrong with these cats? Why are they standing still?"
Surrounded by several tall and strong boys, the fat body of the dormitory auntie couldn't help but tremble. She wanted to say something, but in the end she could only say obediently: "I... I fed them sleeping pills."
"How many did you feed?!" Another fierce voice came.
After learning that the dormitory manager had fed the cats a large dose of sleeping pills, several people were afraid that something might happen to the cats, so they didn't care about anything else and hurriedly took the cats to the pet hospital.
"I don't know what will happen if a cat takes too many sleeping pills. We'd better go to the hospital." Qi Nian said.
The others also agreed with this suggestion and glared at the dormitory manager fiercely before leaving.
Although I hate each other so much now, this is obviously not the time to worry about these things. The most important thing is to see how these cats are doing.
As for the dormitory manager, well, she can’t run away anyway, so let’s wait until we settle the cat down!
The dormitory manager watched them leave in a hurry, but she was not happy at all. She felt regretful and scared. She regretted that she did not plan before taking action. It was obvious that it would be best to wait until the long vacation when these nosy students would not be in school, so it would be the best time to take action.
When she came to her senses, she was afraid that these students would cause trouble for her. She could only try her best to comfort herself, they were just a bunch of students, what could they do to her?
But she knew that catching these cats was not against the law, and these students could not send her to prison! Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
On the other side, Qi Nian and his friends hurriedly took the cat to the pet hospital. The senior student whose family ran a pet hospital called her parents on the way to wake them up.
When they arrived, the senior sister's parents looked like they had just woken up. However, as they were in this line of work, they were used to being woken up in the middle of the night. They didn't say anything and quickly checked on the cat.
Fortunately, the cats are fine and not in danger. We just need to wait for the sleeping pills to wear off. I guess they will wake up in a while.
I have to say that the medical skills of this senior sister’s parents are really good. Because they were worried about the cats, the group waited in the hospital until dawn. Sure enough, they saw the cats waking up one after another.
They slept for so long that they were thirsty and hungry. As soon as they woke up, they surrounded them and meowed at them.
They felt so distressed that they quickly prepared cat food for the cats. Looking at the cats wolfing down the food, some sentimental ones even started to wipe away their tears, crying and cursing the nasty dormitory manager.
"We haven't slept all night. Let's go back and rest first. We can talk about anything after we wake up." Liu Yu yawned and said. Fortunately, today is the weekend, so he doesn't have to worry about classes.
Qi Nian nodded, suddenly relieved. He couldn't even close his eyes now.
The others had no objections and planned to go back to school together. Before leaving, Liu Yu was a little worried about Qi Nian. Seeing him trying hard to open his eyes, he felt funny and distressed: "How are you going to go back?"
I'm so sleepy, and I don't feel safe taking a taxi.
"My brother is here to pick me up." Qi Nian rested his chin on his hand, dozed off with his eyes squinted.
When Liu Yu heard this, she immediately felt relieved: "That's fine, then we'll go back first."
Qi Nian slowly leaned over the table and nodded in a daze.
Half asleep and half awake, he felt a hand gently rubbing his hair. Qi Nian thought it was Liu Yu and tried to open his eyes, but his squinted eyes were not used to the sudden sunlight and were instantly soaked with tears.
The next moment, a hand gently wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes. Qi Nian saw the person in front of him clearly, and he said slowly: "Brother, you are here."
"Yeah." Chu Rongshi saw Qi Nian was about to stand up, so he protected him and whispered, "Can you walk?"
"Yes, I'm just a little sleepy, but I can walk." Qi Nian shook his head and became a little more sober.
Chu Rongshi didn't say anything.
Qi Nian followed him and suddenly thought of something. He yawned and asked, "What if I say I can't leave...what will you do?"
Chu Rongshi smiled and said, "I'll carry you back."
Qi Nian widened his eyes slightly, blushed and pursed his lips.
Chu Rongshi asked again: "How is it? Do you want to be hugged?"
Qi Nian coughed uncomfortably, glared at Chu Rongshi with his deer eyes, and said quickly, "No need."
Chu Rongshi seemed to feel a little sorry, and sighed slightly, "Okay."
Qi Nian blushed and thought: What a pity!
As soon as he got in the car, Qi Nian began to doze off again. Chu Rongshi helped him adjust the seat, pinched his cheek with his fingers, and said, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy."
Qi Nian nodded dazedly and closed his eyes.
Chu Rongshi took out a blanket and covered him with it, then sat back down and started the car.
It was obvious that Qi Nian was indeed very sleepy. He hardly opened his eyes during the entire journey and slept all the way to the doorstep of his home.
The car slowly stopped. Chu Rongshi unbuckled his seat belt, reached out and pinched Qi Nian's cheek, and was about to wake him up. The latter frowned slightly like a little animal whose sleep was disturbed, and then rubbed his palm softly.
Chu Rongshi's eyes dimmed and his fingers curled up slightly.
Qi Nian was sleeping soundly when he felt something playing tricks on his face. In order to continue sleeping, he quickly pressed it with his cheek. Finally, the other party calmed down. He curled the corners of his mouth and fell asleep comfortably again.
Not long after, he suddenly felt himself suspended in mid-air. Qi Nian suddenly woke up and found that Chu Rongshi was dragging him by the buttocks and holding him in his arms like a child.
And he actually wrapped his legs around Chu Rongshi's thin waist. Qi Nian's heart shrank, and he woke up with a red face. He patted Chu Rongshi embarrassedly and whispered, "Put me down quickly."
Chu Rongshi didn't listen to him. He pinched the back of his neck with his fingers and whispered, "Go back to sleep."
Qi Nian: "...How can I sleep?"
He looked at Chu Rong with an embarrassed look on his face, puffed up his cheeks and said, "Put me down quickly, or uncle and aunt will see me soon."
Chu Rongshi found it adorable, and gently kissed Qi Nian's puffy cheeks, explaining to him: "Don't worry, your parents are not around."
Qi Nian felt relieved after hearing this, and was carried back to the room by Chu Rongshi in the same way as a child. As expected, Ning Min and Chu Zhen were not there.
Qi Nian was put on the bed and kissed on the forehead. Chu Rongshi said, "Go to sleep."
Qi Nian nodded, looked at Chu Rong and urged, "You, you should leave quickly."
After Chu Rongshi left, Qi Nian finally came to his senses while lying on the bed. Something was wrong. Wasn't his main point just now to get Chu Rongshi to put him down? Why did he just let Chu Rongshi take him back because his uncle and aunt were not around?
He has been tricked by Chu Rongshi!
Qi Nian looked depressed. His brother would definitely laugh at him for being stupid! He thought he would be so angry that he couldn't sleep. In fact, as soon as he tried to sleep, his eyelids gradually became heavy and he fell asleep in a daze without knowing it.
——
After resting for most of the day, Qi Nian finally came to his senses. He and other students who cared about the cats in the school went to see the cats at the same time.
They didn't take the cats back immediately. It just so happened that they had originally planned to sterilize the cats, so they decided to do it today!
They looked at each other and gave the chubby cats evil smiles.
The cats that are acting so arrogantly in the pet hospital obviously have no idea what is about to happen to them.
Now that we have solved the life-threatening issues of these cats (?), it is time to deal with the culprits who caused these problems.
Yes, it was the dorm aunt who was about to skin the cat. They could not imagine her mental state. What kind of person was she to think of such a vicious method? She was simply a psychopath.
They are all the future pillars of the country. It is simply too dangerous for such a pervert to live among the students!
They are not just scaremongering. You have to know that most people who harm weak animals have some psychological problems. If they hurt animals now, there is no guarantee that they will not hurt these weak college students in the future!
Among these cat keepers, there are quite a few who are good at speaking. They responded to the school leaders in one way or another and immediately succeeded in convincing them.
After all, the school is full of students, they dare not gamble!
Moreover, University A is also a cat-friendly school. What the dormitory manager of Building 2 did was really abominable.
As the other party thought, the law could not do anything to her, but University A could fire her and decide not to hire her again.
It is not easy for a woman of her age to find such a leisurely job, so the dormitory manager almost fainted when she heard the news.
Unfortunately, she still didn't faint. Facing the security guard's stern look, she could only pack up her things dejectedly and leave, wiping her tears.
Seeing her sad expression, people who don’t know her would think she is a victim!
Unfortunately, no matter how pitiful she pretended to be, no one would feel sorry for her or plead for her.
Although this disaster has been solved, with the lessons learned from the previous incident, these cat keepers are all worried about their cats.
This time we were lucky, but what if we run into another psychopath next time? And, although these cats are doing well in school, it's not a long-term solution.
"Why don't we find someone to adopt them?" Qi Nian suggested.
When the others heard this, they felt reluctant, but this was obviously the best way.
Those who have conditions for adoption have directly reserved a cat. Qi Nian originally wanted to adopt one, but when he thought of his second brother who was allergic to animal hair, Qi Nian had to give up.
In less than a week, all the cats in the school, except those that were not suitable for adoption (because they were more feral), found new homes.
Their "Cat Keepers" group has not been disbanded. Sometimes they would post some updates about the cats' new homes, and everyone tacitly agreed not to leave the group.
——
It was another weekend. Qi Nian went downstairs yawning, said good morning to his uncle and aunt, and searched around subconsciously.
"Hey, where's my brother?" Qi Nian noticed that Chu Rongshi was missing.
"He has something urgent to do and has to go out for a while." Ning Min drank her morning tea elegantly.
Qi Nian nodded and started eating breakfast.
Ning Min suddenly smiled and said, "Niannian, I've noticed that you've become more and more attached to your elder brother recently."
Qi Nian was chewing on a steamed bun. Hearing this, he widened his eyes in guilt. His deer eyes were a little evasive. In order to prevent Ning Min from seeing anything, he lowered his head and pretended to be eating seriously. He mumbled, "Ah? Is there?"
"Yes! Every time he sees me recently, he asks about your elder brother." Ning Min listed them all: "Also, he goes to your elder brother's study from time to time."
Qi Nian couldn't help but wonder: Is he... like this?
It does seem to be happening quite frequently recently, but they are in love, hehe...
As soon as he smiled, Qi Nian immediately retracted his smile and tried to put on a serious expression: "I want to ask my brother something."
As for what it was, I can’t make it up.
Fortunately, Ning Min did not ask further questions, and suddenly said with emotion: "Your current state reminds me of your childhood."
They all paused in thought: "...When I was a kid?"
Ning Min smiled and said, "Yes, you were like this when you were little. No, you were even more attached to your brother than you are now. You always followed him around like a little follower."
Qi Nian suddenly couldn't laugh anymore, and his hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly. He didn't have this memory because he was not the original owner.
He actually tried very hard not to think about these things, so once he mentioned them, the naked reality was in front of him, which made him extremely painful. Everything he had now was stolen and did not belong to him.
Qi Nian lowered his head to hide the expression on his face.
He was always serious when eating and didn't like to talk, so Ning Min didn't notice his abnormality. At this moment, she became more and more emotional and asked Qi Nian with a smile: "Niannian, do you want to see your childhood photos? You were so cute when you were a child."
Qi Nian said with a bit of hesitation: "...Okay."
Ning Min went upstairs and took down the well-preserved photo album. She was about to look at it with Qi Nian when Chu Zhen suddenly called her from a distance. She had no choice but to say, "Niannian, you look at it first. I'll come over later."
Qi Nian's fingers trembled, and he stiffly turned to the first page of photos.
This was a chubby little baby, every part of its clothes were carefully dressed up, and there was a big smile on the baby's face. However, Qi Nian felt sad for a moment, and his fingers became even stiffer. He stared at the photo and was afraid to turn the next page.
As soon as Chu Rongshi came over, he saw Qi Nian with his head down, flipping through something, which was a family photo album.
He frowned: "Nian Nian."
Qi Nian responded dully.
"What's wrong?" Chu Rongshi immediately noticed that something was wrong with him, walked quickly to his side, gently pinched Qi Nian's chin, and the next moment he saw the other's face full of tears.
Chu Rongshi felt a pain in his heart and immediately hugged the other person in his arms. As if he knew why he was feeling uncomfortable, he patted his back gently.
