"Aren't we friends? There's no need to thank me for something like that, right? Or..."

"Stop! Of course we are friends."

Xuejianyuan has rarely felt overwhelmed recently.

The two bought ingredients together at the supermarket near the college station, the same one they went to during spring break.

Then they walked towards the station together.

But halfway through the journey, the two stopped somewhere.

A narrow dark alley formed between houses.

“Meow~meow~meow!”

Such cries sounded somewhat pitiful, yet full of vitality.

Yukima Fuchi and Kato Megumi both looked over.

It was a small cardboard box placed at the entrance of the alley, with a cute gray kitten curled up inside.

The cat hair was tangled together because it had not been cleaned for a long time.

Only the pair of different-colored vertical pupils are particularly eye-catching.

One gold and one light blue.

"Looks like it was abandoned?"

"It seems so."

"Do you want to adopt?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult at home. My mother is allergic to animal hair."

Kato Megumi said this with a somewhat depressed look on her face.

"Then it looks like we can only send it to a stray animal rescue station."

Xuejianyuan said helplessly.

"One of my tenants suddenly adopted a stray cat, which was a bit irresponsible."

This time, Kato Megumi did not respond.

"Kato-san, do you know where the nearest aid station is?"

Xuejianyuan asked.

Kato Megumi seemed to be thinking and did not answer for a long time.

So, Xuejianyuan took out his cell phone and prepared to search.

"I remember there's one nearby. Let me take you there."

Kato Megumi stood up.

Yukima Yuan nodded and picked up the cat along with the box.

As if feeling the vibration, the kitten in the box shrank into the corner uneasily.

Xuejianyuan reached his fingers into the box and gently stroked the fur on the kitten's back.

This is to comfort.

Kato Megumi watched this scene and suddenly stretched out her finger and poked the kitten.

"If you irritate it, it might escape from the box and get lost."

Yukima Fuchi looked at Kato Megumi, somewhat puzzled.

After all, Kato Megumi is always very attentive during the time they spend together.

It's rare to see her do something that might get her into trouble.

"Well, it might get lost."

Kato Megumi said as she poked the cat on the other side.

Xuejianyuan looked at this scene and raised his eyebrows.

The kitten did not run away, but just swept Kato Megumi's fingers with its tail.

The two of them came to the nearest stray animal rescue station.

Chapter 43: Chiyu Xiaofei Training

Two people came to the stray animal rescue station with a cat.

The staff took the initiative to step forward and, after understanding the situation, prepared to take the cat away.

"By the way, wouldn't you two consider adopting?"

The staff asked before taking the cat.

Xuejianyuan shook his head slightly.

"I'd like to, but for practical reasons, I probably won't be able to do it."

Upon hearing this, the staff member said "oh" and said nothing more.

Xuejianyuan looked at the cat in the box.

Those two vertical pupils of different colors, gold and light blue, looked truly beautiful.

"Can I come visit him later? We get along pretty well. I can donate some cat food to him."

Xuejianyuan asked.

The staff was obviously stunned by the question.

He immediately shook his head.

"I'm afraid that's impossible. If you want to see it, now's the time. There probably won't be a next time."

Such words made Xuejianyuan frown.

"No next time, you mean?"

"We will register its information on the website for adoption. If someone adopts it within the time limit, it will be taken away naturally."

The staff member explained here, paused for a moment, and then continued:

"If no one adopts it within the deadline, it will be euthanized on the next culling day, Tuesday or Friday."

Xuejianyuan once again looked at the cat in the box.

Those two vertical pupils of different colors looked truly beautiful.

"Take me to the adoption process."

Xuejianyuan said lightly.

When the staff heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on their faces.

"Come over here, please. Do you have any identification?"

"Have."

"If you adopt, you are required to have at least one vaccination."

"Have you done all the necessary checkups and vaccinations? Can I wash the cat here? I'm not a professional like me and I'm afraid I can't clean it properly."

"Yes, I'll take it down to take a bath after you fill out the form."

"Oh, and please prepare some cat food, a litter box, cat litter, and so on for me."

"Okay, you are such a kind person."

After filling out the form, the staff member carried the kitten and went to the back with a smile.

The boy was willing to spend money on this stray cat.

Then he is likely to be a good host rather than acting on a whim.

Although she works here, she doesn't want to see cats being euthanized.

Waiting time for the cat to be bathed and examined.

Yukima Fuchi looked at Kato Megumi who was standing beside him.

Kato Megumi avoided his gaze guiltily.

Yukima Yuanyi reached out and pinched Kato Megumi's little face.

"why did not you tell me."

"I thought you knew..."

"If you have such concerns, you should just say it directly." Xuejianyuan pulled the girl's cheek. "Aren't we friends?"

The words that I had just questioned the boy were returned to me.

Even a girl as light-hearted as Kato Megumi had a somewhat erratic gaze.

Xuejianyuan felt both angry and amused.

Just now, Kato Megumi was poking the cat there.

Obviously hoping it would run away.

This way they don't have to be sent to a shelter and euthanized.

Yukima Fuchi didn't know the rules of the rescue station in Sakura Country, but Kato Megumi obviously knew them.

As a result, this frivolous girl just sat there silently, not saying anything.

How dare you say things like 'Aren't we friends' so shamelessly?

Get angry when you think about it.

"Bringing stray cats to the shelter is the right thing to do. I'm afraid telling you this will cause trouble for Yukima-san... a moral burden or something."

Seeing the boy's anger, Kato Megumi explained.

As a result, Xuejianyuan simply pinched her cheek with his other hand.

"So, I've already said it, aren't we friends? Anyway, start calling me names now!"

Kato Megumi's little face was deformed by being pulled to the sides.

He called out incoherently, "Classmate Yuan."

Xuejianyuan let go of his hand.

"Dear Hui, next time please treat others and yourself equally, okay?"

“Don’t be as strict as a saint with yourself and then lower your standards for others.”

After hearing this, Kato Megumi seemed to want to refute.

But his eyes met Xuejianyuan's.

In the end, he could only lower his head and said vaguely:

"Got it...Yuan-san."

It took quite a while.

The staff member came out holding a pure white kitten.

"I've already had a bath, had my nails trimmed, and had my internal and external parasites dewormed. It's all free."

"There is a fee for the vaccine. You will come once a month after that. After you have received three doses, you can come once a year."

"All the cat supplies are ready over there. See if there's anything you don't want and can return it."

Xuejianyuan nodded.

He now pays more attention to cats than spending money.

The gray kitten is actually pure white.

It's outrageous.

If the staff hadn't done that for no reason, Xuejianyuan would have suspected that the cat had been swapped.
