I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

In the warm spring of March,

It's the most pleasant time of year, with cool and pleasant weather that's not too hot or too cold. This kind of weather is not only suitable for outdoor activities but also beneficial for surgical recovery, so pet hospitals are seeing a surge in business.

Many people bring their cats and dogs to get them spayed or neutered, but who can really say for sure whether they've actually been spayed or neutered? It's all just Chen Shuo's guess.

What happens after sterilization?

Hearing her making silly noises beside him, Chen Shuo was speechless and asked, "Sterilization, sterilization, what do you think will happen?"

"Can't have babies?"

"That's right, but if it's a male cat, you can't let a female cat have kittens."

"Will it hurt a lot if I get sterilized?" Bai Xiaoqi asked again, making a silly sound.

"What kind of question is that? I've never been neutered, but neutering definitely involves anesthesia, and cats' testicles are very small, probably only this size."

Chen Shuo gestured with his hands, "An experienced doctor can do it in less than ten minutes. It definitely won't hurt during the surgery, but as for whether it will hurt afterward, you can ask the cat after it comes out."

He pointed to the intersection to his side, where a young couple was waiting for the traffic light to cross the street. The man was holding a small orange cat in his arms, and they seemed to be heading to the pet hospital on the other side.

The little orange cat was completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation. It was still peeking around in the man's arms, utterly unaware that it would soon become a grandfather cat.

Of course, it might not turn into a male cat; it might be a female cat.

Hey, what should we call the female cat?

I remember Little A Miao almost had to be spayed because of a bite of food.

"Meow, meow, meow..."

Chen Shuo was pondering what to name the female cat after she was spayed when Bai Xiaoqi suddenly let out a few meows.

Immediately afterward, the little orange cat bristled and bit the man's hand. The man, in pain, instinctively released his grip, and the little orange cat fell to the ground. Then, it darted into the roadside bushes and quickly disappeared from sight.

The girl was stunned. It took her a few seconds to belatedly come to her senses and start calling the cat's name, searching for it.

"Stinky egg, stinky egg..."

"Stop being a stinky egg, deal with me first, I've been bitten and I'm bleeding..."

"Stinky Egg is very well-behaved. It would never bite you for no reason. You must have pinched it."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately became agitated, clutching his wound, "Why are you always like this? No matter what the problem is, you always blame it on me, because of me! Damn it, I didn't even touch it."

Besides, if you hadn't tried to be a good person and insisted I take it in to get it spayed, do you think I would have wanted to take it in?

"..."

Chen Shuo turned to look at Bai Xiaoqi beside him. The situation just now was clearly related to her meows. He lowered his voice and asked, "Did you do this?"

"Ah."

"..."

Well, this guy still has the nerve to admit it.

Chen Shuo was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a pause, asked, "What did you say to it?"

"I told it was dangerous and to run, and then I scared it a little. The kitten was very smart and understood right away."

“…”

At this moment, the young couple at the intersection had escalated their conflict and were arguing loudly about breaking up.

Chen Shuo sighed, "Look at yourself, this is the mess you've made."

"I was just doing a good deed. That little kitten was so pitiful; it was so small and it had to be taken to be spayed."

"What do you know? Sterilization has benefits. It can reduce the occurrence of some diseases, and it can also... oh, right, it can also extend lifespan."

"If it's so good, why don't you get sterilized?"

Bai Xiaoqi argued back. Since this guy bullies her every day anyway, she might as well get sterilized so she wouldn't have to have his babies in the future.

"I..."

Chen Shuo was taken aback, and opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Chapter 230 If you read this, you're cheating.

As the saying goes, "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you," no, it means do not do to cats.

Chen Shuo realized that he couldn't impose on the cat what he himself didn't want to do.

Moreover, that little orange cat had no choice; it was completely forced into it. In the end, it was because it was too weak, and its fate could only be controlled by humans.

Humans think that since they have adopted you, fed you and given you water, you should at least make things easy for them. You shouldn't bite people randomly, urinate everywhere, or bark all the time. It's reasonable for you to pay a small price for this.

It may seem selfish, but it's actually for the cat's good.

After all, whether it's a cat or a dog, spaying/neutering really does have health benefits and can extend their lifespan.

When God closes a door, He always opens a window.

Although happiness was lost, life was gained.

It's really hard to say whether it's a loss or a gain.

However, Chen Shuo felt he was losing out badly. What's the point of living if I don't have happiness? Judging from his own experience, the cat must think the same way.

Chen Shuo hadn't expected to think so much in such a short time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Okay, that little cat is really pitiful."

"Hmph." Bai Xiaoqi snorted arrogantly, glancing at him sideways. "So you finally admit I was right?"

"Nonsense! You told that cat to run away after it meowed a few times. Do you think such a small kitten could survive on its own?"

"It didn't go far; it stayed hidden in that patch of grass. I told it not to come out."

As she spoke, Bai Xiaoqi pointed to the arguing young couple over there, leaned close to Chen Shuo's ear and whispered mysteriously, "After they leave, I can call it out, and then we can take it home and raise it."

Should we keep two cats in our home?

"We still have to keep this bad dog like you at home." Bai Xiaoqi reached out and ruffled his head angrily.

As a certain literary giant surnamed Zhou once said, human joys and sorrows are not shared.

While they were laughing and joking around on one side, the young couple on the other side had a heated argument. The man threw down a "let's break up" message and hailed a taxi to leave.

The woman squatted down and covered her face, crying. Bai Xiaoqi felt sorry for her and got up to go over. She took out a tissue from her small handbag and handed it to the woman. The woman looked up and took it with tears in her eyes.

Then the two talked for a long time. As for what they were talking about, Chen Shuo was more than ten meters away and couldn't hear it very clearly. Anyway, it was nothing more than the same thing, and anyone could guess what they were talking about.

Stop crying, wipe your tears.

Thank you for making me laugh.

Next comes the complaining segment, where people talk about how they treat him and how good they are to him.

Humans are creatures of habit; those involved are often blinded by their own perspectives, while bystanders see things more clearly. They often fail to see their own shortcomings and even end up adding that all men are scumbags and there isn't a single good man among them.

Women, being emotional creatures, often drag all men into their complaints about their boyfriends; it's common practice, and they're used to being dragged into this.

After venting her frustrations, the woman wiped away her tears, hailed a taxi at the intersection, and left. The stinky egg she had been thinking about just moments before was now completely forgotten.

Bai Xiaoqi stood on tiptoe and watched for a while. After confirming that the car had driven far away, she turned around and ran to a bush not far away, meowing a few times. Sure enough, the little orange cat popped out again.

Then she scooped up the cat, held it in her arms, and ran towards Chen Shuo. When she got there, she didn't stop but grabbed his arm. "Let's hurry, that woman will be back soon."

"Don't pull me, I can run by myself."

Chen Shuo felt that this silly girl was like a cat thief. He tried to break free a few times but failed, and could only let her drag him forward by his wrist.

They ran all the way back to the entrance of the residential area before their pace slowed down, and they began to walk slowly forward, with Chen Shuo taking a breather.

“I just checked, there are no security cameras over there, so even if that woman comes back, she won’t know that we took the cat.”

Bai Xiaoqi held the little orange cat in her arms. Unlike Chen Shuo, she wasn't panting. Her face was flushed, showing the excitement of having done something naughty.

"So you actually know to check if there are any security cameras before doing something bad?"

"I did a good thing."

"Have some decency. You caused those two to break up, and then you went over and pretended to be a good person to comfort them, and then you even stole their cat."

Chen Shuo couldn't help but complain that the culprit was this seemingly harmless little cat, who had the nerve to puff out her chest and say that she had done a good thing.

"What do you mean I caused this? They broke up over such a small thing, and it definitely won't last. Besides, this is our cat now."

“…”

Chen Shuo was speechless at her self-righteous little act this time.

She even thought what she said made sense; this incident was just a trigger for their breakup. Even without it, the couple would have broken up anyway; it was just a matter of time.

The man was so easily provoked; he had clearly been suppressing his emotions for too long. An adult's breakdown often happens in an instant. The woman's first instinct was to go find the cat, not to care about him. She even shifted the blame onto him, which was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Back home, Bai Xiaoqi put the little orange cat in her arms on the ground, meowed twice and said something. The little orange cat meowed back and then began to peek into its new home.

Chen Shuo was stunned. Mastering a foreign language really makes a difference. Just then, his heart skipped a beat. Oh no, with one cat-eared girl and one cat, and the two cats in the house communicating without any problems, am I becoming an outsider?

No, we need to check if it's male or female first. If it's a male cat, we'll give it away to someone else so it won't take advantage of my little kitten later.

Thinking to himself, Chen Shuo quietly changed into slippers, then picked up the little orange cat from the ground, turned it over so its belly was facing up, and prepared to see if it was male or female.

Before she could even get a good look, Bai Xiaoqi, who was standing next to her, suddenly bristled and snatched the cat away. "What are you doing? It's a female cat, you're not allowed to look!"

Chen Shuo was startled, not expecting the girl to react so strongly. After calming himself down, he asked, "Why can't I look?"

"Because if you see that, it's cheating." Bai Xiaoqi glared at him angrily. This guy almost cheated on her just now.

"What do you mean by 'cheating'? Don't just use any old, worthless word you can find."

Chen Shuo pinched her puffed-up little cheeks to let the air out of her mouth, and didn't plan to look at her anymore. As long as she was female, that was fine. There shouldn't be a market for lilies among cats.

She slipped on her slippers and sat down on the sofa, then asked, "What name are you planning to change it to? Or should we just leave it as is and call it Stinky Egg?"

"Rotten egg?"

"Yeah, that woman was calling it 'stinky egg,' isn't that obvious? This cat's name is Stinky Egg."

"Meow..." The little orange cat in Bai Xiaoqi's arms meowed, and Chen Shuo casually said, "Look, it even responded."

"It's saying that it doesn't like the name."

"Fine, whatever you say goes, anyway I don't understand cat language."
