"Meow." It responded and immediately turned around.
He trotted over and affectionately nuzzled against Biyun's legs.
Yan Ning was stunned, her eyes wide open.
She looked at the docile yellow cat rubbing against Biyun.
Then look at Biyun, who calmly picked up the cat and stroked its fur.
That's not right!
Yan Ning remembered clearly that the town mayor had introduced the girl named Biyun before, saying that she was mute!
I've been here for several days now, and I haven't heard her say a single word.
"You..." Yan Ning pointed at Bi Yun, her voice filled with disbelief, "Aren't you mute?"
Biyun paused for a moment while holding Mimi.
She didn't answer immediately, but instead looked up warily and quickly scanned the yard.
The sunlight was dazzling.

Curiosity is like a kitten's paw scratching.
Yan Ning couldn't help but ask, "But...why? Isn't it inconvenient to pretend to be mute?"
Biyun gave a slightly bitter smile.
Her voice was lowered even further, almost a whisper: "This town... the waters run deep, there aren't many truly clean people."
"The more you say, the more mistakes you make, so it's better to say nothing, I..."
Her words suddenly caught in her throat, and her eyes darted toward the kitchen.
With a hint of barely perceptible vigilance.
Just then, a loud, booming shout suddenly came from the kitchen, like a gong exploding:
"Biyun! What are you dawdling for, you brat? Have you prepared the vegetables yet? They're waiting to be cooked! Bring them over right now!"
