Strange Cards

Class time always flies by, and Shiyu quickly passed the day in a daze.

The setting sun at dusk was gentle, casting all of its limited light upon the earth.

Shiyu, carrying her schoolbag and holding the little tabby cat in her arms, walked to the door of the director's office.

Just then, the director finished packing his briefcase and looked up to see Shigure standing at the door holding a tabby cat.

"I've come to return the cat."

Shiyu placed the little tabby cat in the director's arms and turned to walk away. At that moment, the director suddenly noticed that the little tabby cat had become affectionate towards him.

The director patted the little tabby's head and looked at Shi Yu with surprise.

"Why is this little guy starting to kiss me?"

"Please stop talking, I need to go back to sleep early."

The truth behind the little tabby's initial kiss with the headmaster was that Shigure spent two class periods without sleeping to reason with the little tabby, almost turning it into a great scholar.

Lin Musen had just finished packing his schoolbag and went downstairs when he saw Shi Yu walking slowly toward the school gate.

"Hey! Shigure!"

Lin Musen waved and ran towards Shiyu's direction, but despite her usually good stamina, she was already panting heavily after running such a short distance.

"You're still here, and strenuous exercise isn't good for you."

"nonsense!"

Shi Yu walked to the school gate, and after stepping out, she turned to Lin Musen and said something.

"You smell strongly of rust, and a little sour."

Upon hearing this, Lin Musen's face instantly turned red. After looking down and finding that his pants were fine, he angrily looked up and searched for Shi Yu.

Meanwhile, Shigure had already reconstructed a bicycle with the Ace of Spades and ridden away, leaving no trace of its exhaust fumes.

Shi Yu rode her bicycle to a vegetable market and went straight to the fish stall.

"Boss, two pounds of small fish."

"Okay!"

The fishmonger deftly weighed out two pounds of small fish, packed them up, and handed them to Shiyu. After wandering around the market, Shiyu bought some vegetables she wanted to eat and put them in her schoolbag.

Shi Yu rode her bicycle slowly, turning left and right on the street, and soon arrived at a small grove of trees.

Shiyu put her fingers to her mouth and whistled loudly. Soon after, the surrounding grass began to rustle.

Shiyu came to a clump of grass and skillfully pulled out several iron bowls, then took out small fish from the packaging and poured them into the bowls.

A moment later, four cats emerged from the bushes, ran to the bowl, and began to eat the small fish.

Shiyu gently touched one of the calico camouflage ...

"How's Xiaobai? Is he alright?"

The calico cat elegantly licked its paws and pointed in a direction. After Shigure parted the grass, she found the little white cat cowering inside.

Shiyu picked up the little white kitten and placed it next to the other cats.

Several cats were focused on eating the small fish in their bowls, completely unaware of the little white cat that had squeezed in. Shigure, seeing the cowardly little white cat, reached in and grabbed three or five small fish before throwing them on the ground.

What's peculiar is that these stray cats don't have any food guarding habits, because these bad habits had long been broken by Shigure's repeated feeding.

"Eat it, you coward."

After taking a tentative bite, Xiaobai began to devour the food. After watching Xiaobai finish eating, Shiyu turned to look at the other cats and saw that they had all finished eating before brushing her fur.

Shi Yu turned her head to look and found that Xiao Bai had suddenly disappeared. Shi Yu, however, was not surprised and touched her head, put on her schoolbag and left.

Hidden in Shiyu's schoolbag, Xiaobai's eyes seemed to possess sentience, sparkling with a spiritual light.

Shiyu rode her bicycle home in no time. After quickly cooking herself two dishes and eating the leftover steamed buns from the refrigerator, she took off the clothes she had worn all day and went into the bathroom.

The sound of rushing water came from the water, and suddenly a small hole was torn in Shiyu's schoolbag, and a white figure emerged.

Using the terrain of Shiyu's house, Xiaobai leaped onto the dining table several times, and without hesitation, opened her mouth and took a bite of the white steamed buns with a little bit of chili and lard on them.

Xiaobai was very fast, and in no time she finished off the remaining half of Shiyu's steamed bun.

Shiyu quickly dried her half-dry hair and came out, then saw Xiaobai secretly eating steamed buns on the table.

"Why did you come back with me, you little rascal?"

Shi Yu picked up Xiao Bai and, seeing its slightly dirty and messy fur, carried it into the bathroom.

"Whether you're here to freeload or what, take a shower first. Your fur is all matted and filthy, I don't even want to talk about it."

Shiyu found a bucket for soaking feet in winter, and after mixing warm water, she threw Xiaobai in.

"Meow!!!!!!!!! Meow!!!!!!!!!"

"Stop yelling, it's just that my feet have been soaked."

"You've survived so many years in the wild, are you afraid of my foot-soaking tub?"

"Huh? Why didn't you get damn?"

"Are you a female cat?"

After Shiyu realized that the cat in her hands was a little girl, she simply closed her eyes and scrubbed her like a rag. Just as she was about to wring the little white cat dry, the little white cat finally couldn't help but howl.

"Meow!!!!!!!"

"Okay, okay, stop yelling, I won't twist it for you anymore, alright?"

After giving Xiaobai a bath, Shiyu used a tissue to dry her off, because the towel he used to wipe her from head to toe was still wet after the bath.

Shi Yu looked at the kitten, which was noticeably whiter, and brought it to sit on the balcony to enjoy the evening breeze.

"Look how much fairer you are after you washed yourself!"

Shiyu held the kitten above her head, and soon the cool evening breeze dried the kitten completely.

It was getting late, so Shiyu dug out some of her clothes from junior high school, grabbed a basket, lined it with the clothes, and then put Xiaobai inside.

"You'll have to make do here for now. I'll go buy you a cat bed and a cat tree tomorrow."

"Fortunately, I still have some money in my account, so supporting you shouldn't be a problem."

Shiyu placed a small bowl of water next to the basket, then turned off the living room light and went to her room to sleep.

But Xiaobai was pretending to be asleep. After hearing that Shiyu was not making any noise, it gently nudged open the half-closed door with its little head and climbed onto Shiyu's bed.

Xiaobai looked at Shiyu, who was sleeping sprawled out, and climbed directly onto Shiyu's chest and nestled there.

Fortunately, Shigure doesn't like to move when she's sleeping, otherwise, if she rolled over, Xiaobai would be turned into a cat.
