Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 68 But do good deeds
The old man's frail body was wrapped in a faded old coat, his back bent like a fully drawn bow, as if he were about to be crushed by an invisible burden at any moment.

His cloudy eyes darted around aimlessly, futilely scanning every possible direction.

Only when you get close can you hear her broken whispers.

"Mao Mao."

Meow?

Curled up in Chen Nian's warm embrace, Mao Mao, who was burying her face in her arms and drawing a sense of security, suddenly twitched the tips of her ears.

It suddenly raised its head, turning its small head toward the source of the sound.

His amber pupils focused instantly!

When Mao Mao saw that incredibly familiar figure, he instantly became excited!
It began to wriggle in Chen Nian's arms, its four little paws kicking restlessly, and it made urgent whimpers in its throat.

"Go on, it's time to go home." Chen Nian immediately understood.

He bent down and gently placed Momo on the ground.

Meow--!
The moment its four paws touched the ground, Mao Mao shot off like an arrow, bursting with astonishing speed, and rushed towards the hunched figure without regard for anything else!

At the same time, it also emitted a series of rapid cries.

Meow! Meow meow!
"Maomao?"

Grandma Li's originally cloudy and dim eyes suddenly burst forth with an astonishing light the moment she caught the cat's meow, as if a hot coal had been thrown into them!
She turned around, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears when she saw the furry white figure.

"Momo! It's Momo! You're back!"

She almost staggered as she crouched down, but when she opened her arms, she caught the pounced Mao Mao steadily, her slender body providing shelter for Mao Mao!

There was no blame in her tone.

Only the overwhelming joy of reunion!

"Just come back, just come back!"

The elderly neighbors who had been anxiously watching over Grandma Li finally showed relieved smiles, and some of them quietly wiped away tears.

"Oh my God! We've finally found him! This little devil!"

"Look how worried your grandma is! She's scared out of her wits! You absolutely mustn't be naughty again! Do you hear me?"

Someone touched the hairy part of his nose.

Mao Mao responded with all her might, as if she had found the world's greatest backer.

Meow~!

Grandma Li's hands, covered with age spots, trembled as she gently stroked Mao Mao's back again and again, as if caressing a rare treasure that had been lost and found again.

"Sweetie, tell Grandma, who brought you home?"

At this moment, Grandpa Ma led Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue forward.

"Here she is, Grandma Li! She's right here!"

He patted Chen Nian's shoulder forcefully in a loud voice, filled with pride and excitement.

Pointing at the two young men, he said, "These two young men are the ones who found him. If it weren't for them, Mao Mao would never have been found!"

Grandpa Ma's words weren't an exaggeration.

If it weren't for Chen Nian, no one would ever go to that forgotten area.

Even the timid Momo wouldn't leave that place.

Naturally, no one can find it anymore.

Upon hearing this, the elderly people around looked at Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue with a gaze filled with the unique love, gratitude, and heartfelt appreciation of elders.

An elderly man with a cane nodded repeatedly: "What a good child!"

Xia Qiyue blushed slightly at the direct and fervent gratitude, and subconsciously shrank back behind Chen Nian, gently pushing his back with her hand, her voice tinged with embarrassment: "It was mainly Chen Nian who found it! I just helped out a little."

"A small favor?"

Chen Nian glanced at Xia Qiyue.

He recalled the other person's nimble movements as they climbed the platform and the patience and gentleness they showed when comforting Mao Mao.

If it weren't for Xia Qiyue, getting Mao Mao out of the car would have been a problem!

Even if you forcibly pull it down, it may cause secondary injury!

It can be said that Xia Qiyue was the most crucial factor in Mao Mao's safe recovery.

At this moment, Grandma Li, holding Mao Mao, walked shakily to the two of them.

She strained to open her slightly blurry eyes, carefully examining Chen Nian's young face, then looked at Xia Qiyue's delicate features, as if trying to etch her benefactor's image into her heart.

Then, she temporarily entrusted Mao Mao to Grandpa Ma who was standing next to her.

He then reached out and tremblingly grasped Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue's hands.

To Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue's astonishment, the hunched-back, frail old woman, who looked as if a gust of wind could blow her away, bowed deeply with a profound sense of gratitude. "Thank you. Thank you all."

Chen Nian felt a lump in her throat and quickly supported the old man's shoulder.

"Grandma! Please don't do this! You mustn't!"

"Being able to help you and Mao Mao, and seeing you reunited, makes us happier than anything else! Really!"

Xia Qiyue nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Grandma! Please get up! Seeing Mao Mao come home makes everything worthwhile! You're welcome!"

With the help of the two people, Grandma Li slowly straightened up.

The deep gratitude on his face had not faded.

She took the fur back from Grandpa Ma's arms, stretched out her little paws to reach for it, and hugged it tightly.

At this moment, the expression on her face was one of kindness and peace that could soothe everything.

"Now all I have left is Mao Mao. Without Mao Mao, I don't know what I'll do."

"Thank you so much!"

Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue were overwhelmed by the old man's overwhelming and heavy emotions and were at a loss for what to do. They could only turn to Grandpa Ma, whose eyes were also wet with tears, for help.

Grandpa Ma understood immediately, cleared his throat, and stepped forward with a reassuring tone.

"Alright, alright, Grandma Li!"

"The children understand your feelings! Look at Mao Mao, its little belly is all sunken and its little paws are ice cold! Quickly take it back and get it some warm food to calm its nerves!"

"Yes, yes, Grandma, you should go back and take care of Mao Mao."

"Mao Mao is fine, she's just a little hungry."

Chen Nian quickly added.

Grandma Li then seemed to wake up from her dream.

He whispered in Mao Mao's ear, "You must be starving," and then walked into the apartment building with Grandpa Ma by his side.

"Right, you should hurry back and give Mao Mao a good bath and feed it."

While giving Grandma Li some instructions, Grandpa Ma turned and nodded vigorously to Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue before going upstairs with Grandma Li.

Just before entering the elevator.

Chen Nian and Mao Mao, who was nestled on Grandma Li's shoulder, made eye contact.

Mao Mao opened its mouth silently.

Xiaomi: 'It said, thank you.'

Chen Nian smiled brightly, waved her hand, and silently said something as well.

No thanks~
Seeing Mao Mao return home safely, the elderly people who had been watching showed satisfied and warm smiles on their faces, and slowly dispersed in twos and threes, chatting in hushed tones.

The sun is shining warmly.

Only Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue remained at the entrance of the apartment building.

They looked at each other, sharing the warm joy in each other's eyes.

"Hoo," Xia Qiyue let out a soft breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

She stood with her hands behind her back, gently kicking a small pebble on the ground with her toes, a bright smile spreading across her face, a smile brighter than the sunshine.

"It feels like I've accomplished something amazing."

"Yes!"

Chen Nian nodded, slightly lost in thought.

When he saw Mao Mao reunite with Grandma Li, he could clearly feel a warm feeling flowing through his heart, and his heart was filled with more joy than ever before!
My mood became exceptionally pleasant!

Mimi: 'Can you feel it, meow? This is the purest form of gratitude, meow~'

Like the warm winter sun.

It is not fiery, but it is enough to melt solid ice.

Live endlessly!

Doing good deeds without asking for reward.

This warm feeling and peace that fills the heart is the most precious gift of fate.

"Let's go, we should go home too, we still have a lot of work to do!" Xia Qiyue stretched her back and skipped forward happily.

Chen Nian shook her head with a wry smile.

This doesn't look like someone going to work at all!
"Wait for me!" He took a few steps and jogged after him.
