Their restricted abilities are refreshed every week.

Originally, when they found the cardboard box, they should have let the big cats live in it, but Yao Lenai was afraid that her grandmother and mother would not agree to her bringing the big cats home, so she left the cardboard box in front of her door for a while and did not bring the big cats in.

Big Cat, Second Cat, Fourth Cat, Blue Lady...where are you now?

Qing was right, luckily I listened to what he said carefully.

If I hadn't prepared the cardboard box and made the decision to go find Big Cat and his family tonight, maybe the next time I find Big Cat and his family, someone among the group of stray cats will have disappeared.

Yao Lenai looked up at the pitch-black darkness, so dark that he could hardly distinguish his fingers with his hand. He thought that it would rain heavily tonight, and if the big cats and the others just hid from the rain in the woods or the pavilion, they would not survive the night.

Because they are stray cats, their bodies are somewhat underdeveloped.

Tonight, there is not only rain, but also a chill that penetrates into the bone marrow.

She put down the cardboard box and exhaled into her hands, her breath condensing into a light, almost transparent white mist in the air.

The cardboard box was huge, so big that when the petite Lena, who had not yet developed, was held in front of her, it covered her face and only revealed a pair of eyes.

Unopened umbrellas rolled over the top of cardboard boxes.

The rain rolled down Yao Le Na's dense, dreamy eyelashes, fell into her eyes, followed the ups and downs of her eye sockets, passed across her face, and fell on her slightly raised chin, blurring Yao Le Na's vision.

The flowing water under the eaves gathers into silver threads, like a water curtain, crystal clear and endless.

In order to hold the cardboard box more conveniently, Kaname didn't even hold an umbrella. If she couldn't find Big Cat and the others, she wouldn't hold an umbrella.

She was not afraid of the cardboard box getting wet by the rain. She looked at the cardboard box in front of her, which was already half wet and the paper surface was a little swollen and rotten, and asked Lenai to smile with a round little face.

Maybe by the time she finds Big Cat and the others, the cardboard box she brought out will be completely soaked by the rain!

In fact, she could have thrown the cardboard box away, opened her umbrella, jumped out of the eaves, stepped on the rain and wet boat socks, and ran in the rainy night.

She was not afraid of mud splashing from under broken tiles on the street or dirty water staining her clothes.

But Lenai refused to do so. The cardboard box in her arms represented her commitment to Big Cat's family. She had already told her mother and grandmother that she wanted to adopt them and had even found a cardboard box for them to use as their new home. It wasn't as if she hadn't done anything. It was just that the rain tonight was so sudden she hadn't noticed. She never checked the weather forecast.

But if something really happened to Big Cat's family, she would be sorry for them and their trust.

She will blame herself and she will be sad.

Besides, what if I find Big Cat and his family and they can’t catch up with me?

Even if she found them, would they still be soaked by the rain and shiver in the wind?

A girl with yellow and blue eyes was running in the night rain, her fluffy hair sticking to her forehead wetly, and it was unclear whether the hair flowing down was rain or sweat. A small shadow followed behind her, meowing continuously.

Kaname also ran out following Lenai.

No, no, nowhere to be found. Big Cat and the others aren't here. The night rain shakes the trees, dark yellow leaves scattering and rustling in the wind... No, no, not here. The alleyway beneath the streetlights appears melancholy, fragmented, and hazy, like a phantom. Pedestrians holding umbrellas beneath the neon lights look strangely indifferent. They mechanically twist the handles of their umbrellas to shake off the rain, sending sparkling droplets flying in arcs. They stare at Lenai running in the rain with strange eyes, curious why a little girl is running in such heavy rain... Here, here, not here. The small flowerbed at the entrance to the ring is devoid of the usual fleeting figures.

I've looked everywhere, but there's no sign of Big Cat and the others.

Le Nai put down the cardboard box and squatted on the steps in front of a breakfast shop, feeling a little discouraged.

Da Miao and his family were nowhere to be found. The cardboard box had been soaked and rotten, the canvas shoes on their feet had become very heavy after being soaked with water, and their clothes were soaked by the rain. When the wind blew, Lenai shivered with cold.

Or, just give up. The rain was impenetrable, pounding down hard, the chill penetrating every pore. It felt as if the blood in my body had frozen, solidifying into ice in my veins, no longer flowing. Every bone in my body ached with the cold, every inch of my skin trembled, and it seemed as if my body would be frozen into an ice sculpture in the next second.

Lenai hugged her body and thought, why do I have to think that the big cats can't survive without me?

Is there really someone in this world, whether a human or a cat, who cannot survive without someone else?

No way.

As if asking and answering a Zen question, Kaname suddenly thought of Shirakawa Haru and his guitar. Could he still live well after leaving Shirakawa Haru and his guitar?

Young girls always like to think deeply about this kind of problem. Lenai was about to think about it, but then she realized that she didn't want to think about it.

The answer to this question was clear. This question was too profound and too unreasonable for a fourteen-year-old girl to understand.

Don't think, just let your instincts do the work.

Young girls are pure in emotion and quick-witted. They don't think too much about things and just express whatever they want to say.

Lenai, do you want to go find Qing now?

Yes, I want to see him. I want him to buy me a matcha parfait and feed me. I want to hang out with him and play guitar and bass duets on the road.

The cell phone lit up in the rainy night and vibrated against Kaname's pale, cold thigh.

"Hello... Is this Lenai? Why are you out so late? Didn't I tell you to go to bed early? You went out after putting on some clothes and pants. It's raining outside now, Lenai, come back quickly!" Lenai answered the phone, and Yaoyi's deep and heavy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Lenai, come back quickly. Mom and Dad are waiting for you at home. If you get wet, you'll have to take a shower again." Yaobei coaxed, "Don't run around outside. Come home quickly. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to buy some records? If you come back now, I'll buy them for you."

Yaobei and Yaoyi knew why Lenai ran away.

Lenai ran so fast that they couldn't catch up with her. Compared to Lenai, who went out in the rain with a cardboard box to adopt a cat, fulfilling her responsibilities.

They would rather Lenai go home and have a good rest first.

"No, Mom and Dad, I want to find Da Miao and the others." Lenai refused directly. "I don't want to find them lying wet in the gutter, in the woods, or in the pavilion tomorrow."

Pavilion...Pavilion!

Le Nai scratched his head and finally thought of another place where the big cat family might be hiding: the pavilion where he and Qing had played together a few days ago. That was also the place where Qing and Kaname first met.

"Mom, I'm hanging up." Yao Lenai hung up the phone and rushed towards the pavilion.

The wind and rain shook the trees, and the rain fell on the soil, splashing little drops of water with black mud. The air was filled with the smell of earth.

It smells like a mixture of earth, grass and moss.

The upturned eaves of the pavilion were dripping with water, forming a silver curtain, and the water flowed densely.

The floor was littered with cardboard boxes, small, large, flattened, and intact.

Looking into some squirming cardboard boxes, you can see a few petite cats squirming around.

"Qing...Qing, Qing!" Yao Le Nai softly called out the name of the person who brought her joy. In the rustling wind, she spotted a sticky note with a star cluster drawn on it stuck to the pavilion pillar: "I've been here. I've found everyone in Big Cat's family, except for Lan Ji." I'm wearing a raincoat and wellies, and I'm going to find Lan Ji. Le Nai, wait for me in the pavilion.

Lena peeled the notepaper off the post and gently rubbed the slightly rough surface with her fingertips. She felt relieved.

As long as Qing is around, no matter what kind of trouble it is, he will be able to solve it easily.

Kaname jumped onto Kaname's lap, and Kaname scratched her chin. So, that familiar figure she had seen in the rain before was Haru.

Qing is here, just like me, running around for these stray cats. Kaname really wants to ask Shirakawa Qing why you're here. These stray cats don't seem to have much to do with you, right? Why did you brave the heavy rain to find them, bring them to the pavilion, and even prepare cardboard boxes for them?

She curled up on the wooden bench inside the pavilion, eyes closed, surrounded by her friends who nuzzled against her and meowed.

When Qing comes back, let's ask him. Fatigue overtook Yao Lenai's body, and soon she was too tired to open her eyes.

Raindrops streamed down Kaname's face, dripping down her long hair, her eyelashes, and her rain-soaked clothes. Her body was hot, but for some reason, she suddenly felt cold.

Can't fall asleep, otherwise you will catch a cold.

If I slept outside in such thin clothes and got soaked by the rain, I would definitely catch a cold or a fever. Having a fever or a cold is not pleasant, and my grandma would definitely not let me go to the band rehearsal.

Maybe Haru and everyone in the band will let me rest well.

Grandma, it seems like it’s not grandma but grandma.

Grandma is grandma, grandma is grandma... Grandma is grandma, they are the same!

In a daze, Yao Lena felt her head being gently lifted up, and then a towel was gently wiped on her face, wiping away all the rain on her hair. She struggled to open her eyes and saw a pair of charming, passionate and charming fox eyes.

After a moment's thought, she stretched out her hand, raised her palm, pinched the face of the owner of these eyes, and then touched his head.

Then Lenai closed her eyes again.

With him by my side, I will definitely not catch a cold. Let me take a rest and have some sleep first. I am so tired.

Before her consciousness completely disappeared, Kaname Rana felt as if her body was wrapped in something, and there was a gentle hug that was so warm that she couldn't help but indulge in it.

An hour later, Yao Lena slowly woke up. As she stood up, the leather coat covering her body slowly slid down from her slightly bulging body curves. She rubbed her eyes and muttered "Qing" in a dreamy voice.

"Yes, it's me. I'm here." Shirakawa Haru spoke.

"Why are you here?"

Yao Le Nai stood up and leaned in Shirakawa Haru's arms. Her clothes were still a little wet. She lowered her eyes, thinking that Haru would definitely not mind or dislike her.

"Because I'm worried about Lenai. I'm afraid something might happen to Lenai if she goes out at night in the heavy rain."

"Why are you so sure that I will come out at night, especially in such heavy rain?" Yao Lenai puffed up her cheeks. Little girls are like that. On the one hand, they will feel happy when their thoughts are guessed by the boy they like, but on the other hand, they hate having their thoughts seen through and exposed to others.

"Lena will definitely come out. I believe Lenai will definitely listen to what I said before. Remember last time? I was standing in front of you, and when you said Sanmiao was missing, the expression on your face was really self-blaming and heartbreaking. Sanmiao's departure must have made you feel very sad."

"Yeah, I took my word for it. My grades have improved a lot, and because I took good care of Yaoji, I can now take Yueyue and Texue home together." Lenai said, "From now on, no friend will leave me again."

"Ji and the others have settled down, but what about Da Miao's family?"

"Mom and grandma... Grandma won't let me." Yao Lenai shook her head. "Mom won't let me adopt any more stray cats."

"I understand. In that case, how about Lenai letting Big Cat and his family stay at my house for the time being?"

"Haru's house..." Kaname yawned, and judging from the look in Shirakawa Haru's eyes, he was serious.

"You can't go to bed yet. At least take a shower and change your dirty clothes." Shirakawa Haru said, "I'll take you home?" He meant to call a taxi driver to take Lenai back to her home.

But Le Nai misunderstood this time. She thought they were going to Shirakawa Haru's house: "Okay... take me home, Haru's house." She hooked her arm around Shirakawa Haru's neck, hanging on it, with a cute smile on her lips, "Hmph." This time she finally realized that she was really acting coquettishly towards Haru.

Of course she knew that in the context just now, when Qing said "going home", she meant going back to her own home.

But the home she wanted to go to was Qing's home.

Chapter 10 Boyfriend Shirt (6.2k)

Shirakawa Haru pushed open the door with a little reddish-brown rust, and the door slowly opened, revealing a gap.

He moved aside, and beside him, Rakuna, holding a large cardboard box, quickly slipped through the gap in her raincoat. Shirakawa Haru walked into the door behind her, and with a creak, the door closed.

Yuki Suho is not at Haru Shirakawa's house today. She went back to Suho's house yesterday to do some business and has not returned yet.

Otherwise, with her familiarity and liking for Shirakawa Haru, as long as he pushed open the iron gate and made that familiar friction sound, she would know that Shirakawa Haru was back.

Because everyone pushes the door with different strength, the creaking sound of the iron door is also different. Shirakawa Haru remembers the sound the door made when she pushed it, as if it were an instinct that can never be erased.

She ran out to greet Shirakawa Haru, and seeing the wet Shirakawa Haru, she took out a fluffy towel and was ready to hand it to her at any time.

Kaname stood at the door of the main house, waiting for Shirakawa Haru behind her. This was Shirakawa Haru's home, he was the host and she was the guest, she had to wait for him to go in together.

A few seconds later, Shirakawa Haru stood beside Kaname Rakuna and closed her umbrella. The water droplets sliding down from the umbrella wet the floor.

The cat that I had been looking for in the grove for a long time was now pale from the wind and rain. There were stains on his forehead and the handle of his folded umbrella, which were either rain or sweat.

"Qing, lower your head. Let me wipe your face." Yao Lenai put down the cardboard box in his arms and took out a half-wet towel from under his raincoat. He asked Shirakawa Haru to lower his head, and then stood on tiptoe to wipe his face and hair. This towel was the one Shirakawa Haru had used to wipe her hair. "Qing's house is so big, like a palace."

"Just wipe it casually. We still have to take a shower afterward." Shirakawa Haru put the umbrella into the umbrella bucket and turned on the light at the entrance. In an instant, Kaname Lenai's delicate, fair face jumped into his eyes like a painting, with a serious expression. There were also two roses hidden in Lenai's two-colored pupils that slightly opened, and the buds were covered with nectar. "There are other towels in the cabinet at the door. Lenai, wipe Kaname who followed us all the way here."

"It's not good to have a house that is too big. Many of the rooms inside are empty and unused. They are filled with soft furnishings such as cabinets, beds, desks, and televisions. No one lives there. It can't even be considered a storage room." Baichuan Qing thought for a moment and said.

A house that is too small will feel crowded, and a house that is too big will make people feel lonely. Fortunately, he has a younger sister, Youxi, who is willing to live with him, otherwise he would have moved out long ago and rented out the property.

The pure white Angora cat's fur looked very dirty at this moment. The fluffy hair was tightly attached to the body, and there were spots of dark yellow dirt and gray weeds everywhere.

It rubbed around Kaname Rakuna and Shirakawa Haru's calves.

"Yaoji, you're so dirty, don't move." Yao Lenai squatted down, held Yaoji down, wrapped it with a towel and began to rub it vigorously. "Okay, stop rubbing it." She took off her raincoat and shook it in the air, then folded the raincoat and placed it on the cabinet in front of the entrance.

"Lena, it's a bit cold outside. Let's change our shoes and go in, shall we?" Shirakawa Haru took out a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet. "Do you want to get the shoes yourself, or should I do it for you?"

Yao Ji licked the messy hair on her body with her tongue, then stood up and shook her body violently, splashing water.

Le Na looked at Yao Ji for a while, and then she also imitated it by shaking her body. Transparent raindrops were thrown down by her, and her short silver hair hanging down sparkled under the light, with a unique beauty.

But when Le Na raised her head and looked directly into Shirakawa Haru's eyes, this beauty was temporarily hidden, but did not disappear. This was the youthful beauty that Le Na had brought to her at a tender age, and this beauty was evident everywhere in her body.

The tender face and immature body do not conceal this beauty, but make it emanate. In the drizzle on a rainy night, in the silent breathing of Kaname like a rose that has not yet bloomed, in the constant flow of fine sand like an hourglass, in the pair of heterochromatic eyes, in the melody of the guitar, in the exposed healthy, white and slender long legs, this immature beauty is everywhere and beauty is always present.

Yaoji tilted her head to look at Shirakawa Haru, and Lenai also tilted her head to look at Shirakawa Haru. The man and the cat moved in unison, and she said, "Haru, help me get it."

"Let me look for them." Shirakawa Haru rummaged through the shoe cabinet for a while, only finding two pairs of slippers for herself and Yuki, and one pair for Qing Gao. "We don't have any new shoes. We hired a housekeeper a few days ago, and today I had him clean out the shoe cabinet. We haven't had time to buy new slippers yet... Lenai, do you mind wearing my sister's used slippers? My shoes are too big for you, and besides, you probably don't want to wear them."

"I want to wear Qing's shoes." Kaname moved closer to Shirakawa Qing and pushed him away from the shoe cabinet. "Those sky blue shoes are Qing's, right?"

"Yes." Shirakawa Haru nodded, "Do you want to wear these shoes?"

At Lena's nod, she took off her shoes, dropping them to the ground with a clatter, before removing her own shoes, revealing her boat socks, which had been pristine white but now had a greyish hue.

The black Martin boots were kicked off and fell to the ground. The next moment, the boat socks also fell off.

Shirakawa Haru glanced at Lenai's toes and then quickly looked away, wondering why Lenai dressed like that, the boat socks and Martin boots didn't match at all.

"Haru, you're so lustful." Le Nai noticed Shirakawa Haru's gaze and chuckled at him.

"I'm not lustful." Shirakawa Haru put the shoes that she and Lenai took off in the shoe cabinet.
