After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

It crouched on the rock, its tail swaying slowly from side to side, its amber eyes half-closed, watching the dozen or so cats below eat.

The cats included orange tabby, tabby, and calico cats, as well as several kittens only a few months old. They all quietly ate their cat food without fighting over it.

Occasionally, two kittens would start fighting while eating. The calico kitten would let out a soft "meow," and the two kittens would immediately quiet down, shrink their heads, and continue eating.

He really does have the air of a boss.

The two children laughed.

"It looks so impressive," Gui Gui whispered.

"Like a great general." Nian Nian nodded.

Sensing someone approaching, Sanhua suddenly raised her head and looked in Shen Yu's direction.

"ha--!"

The calico cat instantly bristled, its entire body arching into a small bridge, its tail standing upright like a small flagpole, and the fur on its back standing on end.

He breathed in Shen Yu's direction, showing his teeth, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Although it had only developed sentience a few months ago, its animal instincts were the sharpest.

This man in front of me is terrifying.

The aura was heavy and oppressive, like a mountain pressing down on it, rendering it unable to move, just like the large wolfhound it had encountered on the mountain last time.

No, it's a hundred times, a thousand times more terrifying than a large wolfhound; it's a fear etched into your very bones.

It was so frightened that it turned around and tried to run away, but after taking two steps, it stopped.

If they run away, will the two little children be in danger?

It hesitated, then looked back and saw the little girl in the pink dress taking out two packets of dried fish from her bag, squatting on the ground, and speaking to it in a soft voice.

"Huahua, don't run away!" Niannian tore open a dried fish, poured a little into her palm, held it high, and her eyes sparkled.

"We won't hurt you. We'll give you dried fish, salmon flavored, it's delicious."

Sanhua's nose twitched.

The aroma of dried fish kept wafting into its nose.

It looked at the two children again.

The scent of these two little babies is so comforting, warm, and clean, like the spring sun, without a trace of malice, making you want to get closer just by smelling them.

It was completely different from the terrifying aura emanating from that man.

It looked at Shen Yu again, who was leaning against the tree, smiling at it, but showed no intention of coming over to grab it.

Sanhua hesitated.

It has lived for twenty years and has never been afraid of anything.

I've fought with big wolfhounds, outwitted cat thieves, frozen in the snow in winter, and scavenged for food in garbage cans in summer. What kind of hardship haven't I endured?

But now, it's actually a little afraid of this man.

But... the dried fish smells so good.

And these two little kids really don't look like bad people.

……

I hesitated for a full minute.

Sanhua finally couldn't resist the temptation of dried fish.

It first lowered its tail, and its bristling fur gradually calmed down. It tentatively moved towards Niannian, step by step.

She took two steps, then stopped, looked up at Shen Yu, and seeing that Shen Yu was just smiling and not moving, she took two more steps forward.

It took it almost a minute to walk just a few meters to reach Niannian.

It looked up at Niannian again. Niannian was squatting there, not moving, holding a small dried fish in her palm, her eyes curving into crescents with laughter, but she didn't reach out to grab it.

Sanhua was relieved.

It quickly stretched its head out, snatched a small piece of dried fish from Niannian's hand, took two big steps back, and then lowered its head to chew it.

Ah!

Really delicious!

It tastes even better than the cat food Grandma Zhang gives me, and it's even more fragrant than the boiled chicken breast Grandpa Li gives me!

Sanhua's eyes lit up immediately. She swallowed the dried fish in a few bites and then looked at Niannian.

Niannian smiled and poured another piece into her palm.

After feeding her seven or eight pieces, Sanhua completely let down her guard.

It walked to Niannian's feet, gently rubbed its round head against Niannian's calf, raised its tail and swayed it gently, making a purring sound in its throat.

Cats only purr when they are particularly relaxed and trusting.

"Wow! It rubbed against me!"

Niannian turned back to look at Shen Yu happily, her little face full of surprise. She lowered her voice, afraid of startling him.

"Dad, look! It likes me!"

"Yes, it likes you." Shen Yu nodded with a smile.

Gui Gui also squatted down, took out the tuna-flavored dried fish from her bag, and poured it into her palm:

"I have some too! Mine is tuna, and it's delicious too!"

Sanhua then sidled up to Guigui, ate two pieces of dried fish that Guigui had given her, and even stuck out her pink tongue to gently lick Guigui's palm, making Guigui giggle with ticklishness.

The two children squatted on the ground, gently stroking Sanhua's back.

Sanhua didn't resist; she just squatted there, squinting her eyes as they touched her, swaying her tail contentedly.

Its fur is so soft, glossy and smooth, it feels like touching the finest silk, and it's warm to the touch.

"Why is it so fat?" Gui Gui touched Sanhua's round, soft belly.

"It looks like the red panda I saw at the zoo last time."

"Because everyone feeds it delicious food."

Niannian smiled and gently touched its missing left ear.

"Look at its ears, it must have been fighting a lot in the past, it's a tough cat."

Sanhua seemed to understand, proudly raised her head, and meowed loudly, as if to say, "Of course, I'm the boss of this area."

It made the two children laugh.

Shen Yu leaned against the tree, watching the two children play with the cat, a smile always on his lips.

This cat is truly blessed.

Six months ago, while looking for food in the mountains, I dug up an old ginseng that had been buried for almost three hundred years and ate the whole thing.

Not only did it gain intelligence, but it also cleansed its marrow and meridians, making its body several times stronger than that of an ordinary cat, which is how it acquired these little skills.

He has a good temperament; after gaining wisdom, he doesn't harm people and even knows how to protect the people in the community, which is better than many others.

It would be nice if I could stay at home and keep my two children company.

As he was thinking, he heard a series of cursing sounds coming from the entrance of the residential area, which grew louder and louder as they approached.

"Where's that dead 'Three Flowers'?"

"Get the hell out here!"

"If I don't skin you alive today, I'll change my surname to yours!"

Sanhua was squinting as the two children petted her when she heard the sound. Instantly, as if her tail had been stepped on, she jumped up from the ground.

It hunched over and looked towards the entrance of the residential area, its breath coming out in the air. Its eyes instantly turned fierce, completely different from the soft, chubby cat from before.

Hearing the cursing, the elderly people who were enjoying the cool air all stood up and looked towards the entrance of the residential area.

"It's that bastard Zhang Biao!" Grandpa Wang's face immediately darkened. "Why is he here again!"

"That bastard! He got scratched by Sanhua last week, hasn't he learned his lesson yet?"

"Quick! Call the security guard over! Don't let him near the flower bed!"
