Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 292 Feelings
After Huang Qi's efforts, the poor fifth child was finally able to regain his freedom, and his life was not cut short by this absurd accident.

Although it hadn't opened its eyes yet, it seemed to already know what gratitude meant. Carefully placed on its mother's belly by Huang Qi, Xiao Wu suckled a couple of times and then turned back to meow softly, as if expressing its thanks to Huang Qi.

This scene thrilled Meimei, who jumped around and pinched Huangqi's arm repeatedly.

"So cute! Huangqi, Huangqi, should we adopt this one too? You saw it, didn't you? It seems to really understand human emotions! Look, it's saying thank you to you, waah, waah! Can you bear to let it become a poor stray cat?"

"Of course I could bear it!"

Even his girlfriend's sharp nails couldn't break Huang Qi's steely resolve.

"why?"

Berry rolled her eyes, about to explode.

"Because it's a male cat!"

Huang Qi's righteous and eloquent response was perfectly reasonable.

"..."

Berry was speechless.

What did the tomcat do to you?

Lin Ge glared at Huang Qi with displeasure. "How dare you be sexist with your looks?"

Aside from Meimei, I doubt there's any other woman in the world who could accept a penniless, hopeless, and unromantic man like you.
Lin Ge has seen his fair share of tough guys, but Huang Qi is truly the only one who dares to be so headstrong without any real ability. Li Yiduo is also a tough guy, but he's rich and capable, and his police officer status gives him prestige!
However, Meimei just happens to fall for his tricks.

The two were already very familiar with each other, and Meimei could tell from Huang Qi's tone that he wasn't joking. So she muttered a couple of things, deciding not to bring it up again, no matter how much she liked the white cat. Of course, judging from the way her eyes were darting around, she probably hadn't completely given up on the idea of ​​adopting it.

Even after Xiao Wu was born, the rain continued to drizzle. Huang Qi checked the white cat again to make sure it was completely empty, then turned to look at the sky and considered how to safely take the kittens and adult cats back.

There were some things that Meimei and the silly cat next to her didn't understand, but Huang Qi herself knew very well. Even though the white cat had successfully and safely given birth to five kittens, it hadn't completely overcome this hurdle.

Production is a physically demanding process, but to make matters worse, the white cat had been exposed to freezing rain for quite some time beforehand.

The biting cold is no joke; prolonged exposure to low temperatures is extremely dangerous for both white cats and kittens. Many hidden problems are not visible to the naked eye, but the inexplicable demise of some kittens is highly likely due to various unforeseen events and their consequences during such times. This is especially true for feral cats; aside from summer, only a small percentage survive to adulthood. Even some private breeding farms don't do enough in this regard.

In other words, despite the fact that these five little guys are lively and energetic now, even Huang Qi, a veterinarian, cannot guarantee that all five of them will safely and smoothly pass through their infancy.

This is also why he was reluctant to let Meimei adopt them.

Some thoughts may cause sadness, and cutting them off in the first place may be the best choice.

Seeing Meimei's still reluctant expression, Huang Qi couldn't bring himself to do it. So the most important thing right now was to get the mother and her six kittens to the hospital as soon as possible for a thorough examination, so they could receive more professional care and treatment and have a better chance of survival.

"MeiMei, shall we call a ride-hailing service?"

Huang Qi made a decision and turned to Meimei, saying, "Let's make it clear beforehand that we want to bring a few kittens with us on the bus. If they're unwilling, don't force them; we'll think of another way."

"How could anyone be so heartless!"

Meimei muttered something, but still followed Huang Qi's instructions and explained the situation.

And then... sure enough, no ride-hailing service responded.

After all, ride-hailing services usually don't lack business on rainy days. Pedestrians without umbrellas, passersby unwilling to brave the rain, etc., are all good targets for ride-hailing services to make money on rainy days. In this situation, who would want their car to get dirty by stray cats?

"How to do?"

Meimei looked at Huangqi pitifully.

She didn't even worry about how to bring back the bicycle and Huang Qi's electric scooter that she had left in the park; she only felt sorry for the poor cats shivering in the cold wind.

"I'll go hail a taxi; I'll just have to pay a little more for cleaning."

Huang Qi sighed and reluctantly prepared to leave the pavilion.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge suddenly shouted, startling Huang Qi and Mei Mei, and also startling the five little ones who were nestled in their mother's arms nursing. Without a word, the little ones frantically tried to burrow deeper into their mother's belly, their panicked appearance making Mei Mei both annoyed and helpless.

"Mimi, what are you doing!"

"Of course I'm here to help you guys, you idiots!"

Lin Ge rolled his eyes and dialed Zhang Ke's number on the collar right in front of the two of them.

The limited number of phone books was already nearly full, with most of the ten slots already taken. After giving them to Zhang Ke and Jiang Yan, there were very few left. Lin Ge could only hope that Yang Xiaotong would step up her game; it was her turn to show her abilities!

"Hello? Mimi?"

This was the first time Zhang Ke had received a call from a cat. The tone on the other end of the line was one of surprise, confusion, and unexpected displeasure.

Lin Ge remained silent, only looking at Huang Qi and Mei Mei, who were equally dumbfounded.

Meimei stared blankly at Lin Ge, while Huang Qi, realizing what was happening, coughed and squatted down next to Lin Ge's collar, his expression twisted as he said, "Ahem! Hello, I'm Huang Qi, a veterinarian at the pet clinic. Um... may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Zhang Ke, an auxiliary police officer at Zhanghe Police Station. This phone number belongs to Mimi, could it be..."

Before Zhang Ke could finish speaking, Lin Ge quickly yelled to prove that he was alright and that Huang Qi hadn't found the collar or anything. He had simply asked a wealthy guy who wouldn't be stingy with his car to come and help him out.

Besides, if you're in trouble, go to the police. Do you, Zhang Ke, dare to refuse?

Lin Ge let out another unreasonable howl.

Huang Qi then recounted the whole story to Zhang Ke, who suddenly understood why Mimi had called him. He covered the phone and whispered something to someone before smiling and saying he would be there soon, making sure not to disrespect Lin Ge.

"Tsk tsk!"

The phone call ended, and Lin Ge stared smugly at the couple. Meimei, having also snapped out of her shock, stared at Lin Ge with her large, long-lashed eyes, clicking her tongue in amazement.

"Unbelievable, right? This guy is just that awesome."

Huang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at his girlfriend, saying, "When I first saw this guy, I was even more shocked than you. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have imagined that this guy was a cat? A cat that can make phone calls, solve cases, and even save people."

"Police cats are truly remarkable!"

Meimei nodded vigorously, surprisingly accepting of Lin Ge's abilities very quickly. Or rather, as a web novelist and veterinarian girlfriend, she had a remarkably good ability to accept all sorts of incredible animals.

"Oh, right!"

While waiting for Zhang Ke, Huang Qi suddenly remembered something and said to Lin Ge with a smile, "The dog you asked me to rescue the other day has been taken back by its owner. Apparently, his wife's surgery went well, and she finally thought of her own dog son. But judging from her tone, the dog is still going to be entrusted to someone else, since there's a weak patient at home, right? He even asked me to post an adoption notice on my WeChat Moments, but unfortunately, no one has replied to me."

Meimei nodded in agreement, saying, "After all, it's an old dog. To be honest, most people wouldn't choose to adopt such an old animal, right? To put it bluntly, it wouldn't be surprising if a dog this old closed its eyes one day."

"So even if you're going to be a pet, you still have to choose a good owner for yourself."

Lin Ge sighed, feeling sorry for the dog. It could have lived a comfortable old age in a decent family, but instead, it had to be abandoned in its old age.

Humans develop feelings for animals after raising them for over a decade, and animals are no exception. Expecting an old dog to recognize a new owner is a form of torture for it.

Shaking his head, Lin Ge couldn't offer any opinion on the matter, nor could he offer any help to the old dog. Its owner hadn't abandoned it but chose to find it another home, which, in a way, wasn't wrong. Having a sick person in the family is unavoidable, something no one wants to see. If the man had to choose between his wife and the dog, and chose the dog, then he was even more heartless and absurd.

So, it was all just that old dog's fate.

The two people and the cat chatted while waiting for Zhang Ke. Huang Qi and Mei Mei would occasionally switch the five kittens to avoid the silly behavior of two little guys fighting over a milk source.

The little guys are in dire need of nutrition right now, and even a little extra food would be good for their health.

'Didi! '

A red Mercedes drove straight into the small garden and quickly arrived at the pavilion. After the car was turned off, Zhang Ke and Sun Chang got out of the driver's and passenger's seats, one on each side. Zhang Ke quickly opened his umbrella and ran to Sun Chang's side before they walked over together.

"Sorry I'm a little late. I was mainly delayed by finding the park ranger in order to drive the car in directly."

Zhang Ke smiled and apologized to Huang Qi and the other person, then shook the water droplets off his umbrella and said to Lin Ge, "Mimi, I was just about to call you! Sun Chang and I showed you a heated pad, would you like to come with us to pick out a color later?"

Heating pad?

Lin Ge was stunned for a moment. Huang Qi's lips twitched. It was just a big male cat, and it had to act like a pampered princess needing to be kept warm during the winter? This police station was being way too nice to this cat.

"A heating pad!"

Meimei was somewhat tempted, and looked down at Xiao Er and Xiao Wu in the white cat's arms.

Lin Ge realized what a heating pad was and quickly nodded. He didn't feel embarrassed; after all, who would choose to suffer when they could enjoy themselves? Zhang Ke was a wealthy guy, and Sun Chang's family was also well-off. For these two, buying him something was a piece of cake.

only……

Lin Ge glanced sideways at Zhang Ke and Sun Chang, noticing that they were both dressed in civilian clothes, which was unusual. And they weren't even in a police car. Could it be that these two were on a date when they were on the phone earlier?

"Ahem! I'm off today."

Zhang Ke understood Lin Ge's gaze. Who told this cat to keep glancing at him and Sun Chang in turn?
"Me too!"

Sun Chang raised her hand shyly, and before Lin Ge could react, she quickly said, "We went to buy you winter supplies today! Mimi, you have no idea how amazing pet retailers are these days; they even have mini pet heaters."

"Oh right, my cattery doesn't have air conditioning yet!"

Lin Ge immediately remembered this matter and no longer cared about looking down on Zhang Ke and Sun Chang. He only hoped that the heater they bought would be more effective.

Zhang Ke chatted with Huang Qi for a bit more, and Sun Chang and Meimei quickly became acquainted as well. Since they were all around the same age, there was no shortage of topics to discuss, and they soon turned their attention to the white cat lying on its side on the stone table, warily watching the growing number of people around.

"Having five children in one pregnancy is quite impressive."

Zhang Ke exclaimed in admiration, looking at the five kittens with completely different colors with a surprised expression. He turned to Sun Chang and said, "They all look quite cute. Do you want to keep one as a pet?"

Sun Chang shook his head without hesitation: "No! After all, I am Beibei's trainer, and it's not good for me to have the scent of other animals on me. Don't be fooled by how well-behaved Beibei is in front of Mimi; she can be quite willful at times. If she feels slighted, she'll throw a tantrum at me."

"Tsk! It actually has the guts?"

Lin Ge clicked his tongue in amazement. "This guy Bei Bei is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong?"

However, this is an interaction between the handler and the police dog, and Lin Ge doesn't need to interfere. And despite Sun Chang's complaints, her smile never faded; she was simply being affectionate with her boyfriend.

The relationship between these two seems to be progressing much faster than the other two couples.

"They're such a perfect match!"

Meimei nudged Huang Qi with her elbow and whispered, "These two look like a prince and princess. I feel like they're perfect together. The man is gentle and kind, and the woman is beautiful and generous. They're a match made in heaven."

"Tch! Both of them are cops. See how exhausting it will be for them after they get married! A 'warm guy' indeed? He'll burn out sooner or later!"

Huang Qi scoffed dismissively.

"You're just jealous!"

Meimei giggled at Huang Qi, her words carrying no malice. Seeing Huang Qi's displeasure, she intensified her teasing. This was how she and Huang Qi usually interacted, behaving more like a natural young couple.

"so good!"

Seeing Meimei joking with Huang Qi so freely, Sun Chang felt a pang of envy. She found it difficult to completely let go of her pride and rationality, unable to be completely obedient to Zhang Ke, and unable to be completely unguarded towards him.

"..."

Zhang Ke didn't say anything, but glanced at Huang Qi thoughtfully before turning his gaze back to the cats.

"Are they being delivered to your store?"

"Well, trouble!"

Huang Qi quickly put aside Meimei and nodded to Zhang Ke, saying, "I'll pay for the car cleaning. But please go easy on me, Brother Zhang. A Mercedes or something like that, one slash and I might be bleeding from the head, haha..."

"There's no reason for you to pay for this; it's something I should be doing."

Men don't need to say much. After Zhang Ke waved his hand to refuse Huang Qi, the two smiled at each other and started working. First, the two girls grabbed the five kittens and moved them aside, then Huang Qi picked up the white cat along with its cat bed and carried it to the car.

The plan was simple, but unfortunately the white cat wouldn't cooperate. The scent of strangers made it nervous, and when all five kittens were captured, it roared angrily, trying to snatch them back.

Lin Ge quickly let out a howl as a form of reassurance or command, which made the white cat give up its attack, but it still kept its back arched and watched Huang Qi warily as she approached.

The five kittens' pitiful cries in the girls' hands further exacerbated the white cat's irritability.

With that attitude, picking it up probably won't be easy.

Huang Qi couldn't care less about the male cat's threat to the kittens; all he was worried about was getting scratched by the white cat. He turned to Lin Ge and whispered, "Mimi, hurry up and discipline your little rascal!"

"Ok?"

Sun Chang and Zhang Ke were both taken aback.

"Ok?"

Lingo glared with menacing eyes, eager to pounce and reveal his sharp claws.

"Don't be silly at a time like this!"

Meimei looked at her boyfriend with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Could he ever change his unreliable behavior?

"hey-hey……"

Once Lin Ge jumped onto the stone table, the white cat finally became more docile. It meowed softly at Lin Ge, but no longer resisted Huang Qi's attempt to pick it up. When Huang Qi tried to turn it around, it clung to Huang Qi's arm and howled at Lin Ge.

This reluctant farewell seems to further prove the fact that it and Mimi have become acquainted.

"It can not be?"

Meimei was the first to lose confidence. She looked at the two kittens in her palms, then looked down at Lin Ge, seemingly trying to find similarities between the parent and child.

"hey-hey……"

Sun Chang smiled teasingly, but made no other unnecessary movements. After all, Mimi was clearly a silver shaded cat, while the three kittens in her palm were undoubtedly domestic shorthair cats, and were unlikely to be proof of Mimi's infidelity.

After Huang Qi held the mother cat properly, Meimei and Sun Chang returned the five kittens to their mother's arms. The white cat finally calmed down upon seeing her kittens, only licking them constantly and exhibiting no other resistance.

Zhang Ke, holding an umbrella, escorted Huang Qi as she helped the mother cat and kittens into the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz.

Looking at the seats inside the car, and then at Sun Chang and Meimei in the pavilion over there, Zhang Ke could only say, "Changchang, why don't you and Mimi wait for me here? I'll take them and the cat to their destination and then come back to pick you up."

"Ok!"

Sun Chang nodded; she was never willful when it came to important matters.

Meimei was a little embarrassed and planned to stay with Sun Chang. Seeing this, Huang Qi said without hesitation, "Let Meimei stay with your girlfriend. We two brothers will go first. Oh, and take Mimi with you too, maybe she'll be needed to soothe the cat on the way. Also, you don't need to make two trips, just let Meimei ride her bicycle back herself. By the way, buddy, can you put anything in your trunk? The electric scooter I put over there is a folding model, I bought it secondhand on Xianyu, hehe..."

Huang Qi's decisive and clean-cut attitude in dumping his girlfriend made Meimei squint her eyes in displeasure.

However, after Sun Chang put his arm around her and whispered a few words to her, the girl smiled again and even showed an embarrassed expression.

Soon, Lin Ge got into the Mercedes and squatted in the passenger seat, watching the white cat and the five kittens in the back. Zhang Ke said goodbye to Sun Chang again, then hurriedly turned around and left Xiaoguanyuan.

"You two haven't known each other for very long, have you?"

Meimei pulled Sun Chang to sit down, not minding the cat hair and unpleasant smell on the stone table. She just grinned and stared at Sun Chang, saying, "It's so nice! Huang Qi and I have known each other for so long that we're completely bored now!"

Sun Chang didn't mince words either, laughing as well: "But I envy you two, being able to stay together for so long and still have such a good relationship. Don't let your partner's lack of eloquence fool you, I can tell he cares about you a lot! As for me... I'm not afraid to admit it, but I'm actually a little uneasy. After all, Zhang Ke's family is so well-off, he has the ability to find even better and more outstanding girls. As for me... I'm just a tomboy."

"Yeah, right! You're so cute!"

You're the cutest!

"whee……"

The two girls were playing and laughing together.

Thank you so much for the 100-coin reward from Dark Night Chant, I almost forgot.
