He went out with a purpose today; he can clear his mind and find inspiration for his writing tomorrow.
In the afternoon, he wrote nearly 10,000 words. He read them over himself and found the writing style to be very fluent, but the plot seemed a bit dry and would probably need some polishing later.
Ye Ziye decided to do the polishing work tomorrow, so that she could show it to Akiyama Hitomi when she went to work on Monday and get her feedback.
Having made up his plan, Ye Ziye began to finish his dinner. Although there was only one dish, he ate it very happily.
He also didn't have the habit of wasting food. After finishing all the dishes and rice, he put the bowls and chopsticks in the sink and would wash them the next day.
Although he had been eating, Garfield slept soundly the whole time, seemingly oblivious to the sounds around him, despite being an animal.
If it were any other kitten, it would probably wake up after hearing him eat.
Ye Ziye picked Garfield up and carried him to the food bowl. He still wanted to feed him bite by bite, as he didn't want to have to clean the floor when it was almost bedtime.
Chapter 52
April 26th, Sunday, sunny. Today is the day I'm taking Garfield out for a walk.
Ye Zi woke up very late because he had only gone to bed around 1 a.m. the night before.
During the time between finishing his meal and going to bed, he read some popular light novels and gained a lot from them.
"Get up."
Ye Ziye stuffed a simple sandwich into his mouth and woke up Garfield. He didn't know how the cat had slept, but he woke up later than him.
After feeding Garfield some cat food, Ye Ziye took the plastic bag containing the cat poop and went out.
The weather is great today, almost the same as yesterday. At this juncture between spring and summer, as long as there is no plum rain, the temperature is generally quite pleasant.
As the land of cherry blossoms, the island nation has a high density of cherry blossom trees. Even if he lives in a less developed area, he can still see a beautiful pink landscape when he goes out.
On the streets, you can see many elderly people out for a walk, but unlike in China, they don't all know each other.
Their purpose in going out for a walk is simply to walk; they don't talk to each other, and after walking a certain distance, they return home.
There are basically no young people in the area where Ye Ziye lives, so he is spared the trouble of being disturbed and can take Garfield for a walk in peace.
This was Garfield's first time out for a walk, and he was very curious about his surroundings. If Ye Ziye hadn't been holding his hand, he probably would have run off somewhere long ago.
Ye Ziye watched Garfield's steps from behind, her brows furrowed.
Because of his obesity, Garfield's body wobbles when he walks, and his four short legs can barely support him. Ye Ziye thinks it's necessary to increase the frequency of his walks.
"Wait a minute, Sabre!"
Just as Ye Ziye was pondering how many times a week to let Garfield go for a walk, a clear, crisp sound suddenly came from afar, quite different from the surrounding environment filled with elderly people.
Along with the sound came a yellow-haired dog that lunged straight at Garfield.
Perhaps the dog's goal wasn't Garfield, but Garfield was definitely blocking its path.
Both pets seemed startled, but to Ye Ziye's surprise, the chubby Garfield didn't hide behind him; instead, he bravely pounced on him.
It probably thought the dog was coming to attack it. Garfield's round eyes turned sharp, and its fat body pressed down on the dog, a complete victory!
The battle between dogs and cats has existed since ancient times and continues to this day, but in people's traditional view, dogs are always considered to be superior.
However, Garfield, with its obese physique, managed to suppress its natural enemy.
However, that dog was just a pet, small in size, not even as big as Garfield, so it lost the battle.
Ye Ziye stood at the back, considering whether he should go up and stop them, and whether doing so would constitute disturbing someone else's battle.
"Ah! Sabre!"
Unlike him, who was thinking so much, the dog's owner arrived and gasped when he saw his dog pinned down by a cat.
The dog's owner was a pink-haired girl who looked somewhat familiar, but she seemed a little afraid of Garfield and hesitated to go forward to rescue her pet.
"Garfield, come back quickly."
Ye Ziye didn't want to be someone who indulged his pet bully, so he called out to Garfield, who obediently returned to his side.
However, Garfield's eyes remained alert; for an animal, the dog's charge was far too dangerous.
"Sabre, are you alright?"
The yellow pet dog got up from the ground, and because Garfield had only pinned it down, it wasn't hurt.
"Sorry, your dog just charged at me, and my cat thought it was going to attack, so it ran over it."
Seeing the girl's worried and delicate appearance, Ye Ziye was afraid of causing any unnecessary trouble, so he simply took the initiative to apologize, even though he didn't know what he had done wrong.
However, the girl wasn't one of those unreasonable pet owners portrayed online. After hearing Ye Ziye's words, she looked up while holding the puppy.
"It's okay... Huh? You're Ye Zi-kun?"
"You know me?"
Ye Ziye said something, and he also felt that the girl in front of him looked very familiar.
"That's so mean! I'm Yui Yuigahama, your classmate!"
The girl's face was a little red, seemingly because Ye Ziye hadn't recognized her.
Hearing the name, Ye Ziye gradually remembered the girl in front of him. There was such a person in the class, and she was quite popular among the boys.
She and some other girls formed a well-known "real-life" group, and these girls were the ones who talked the most in class.
"I didn't recognize you just now. Do you live around here?"
"No, I came with my family and was just walking the dog. I didn't expect that Sabre would run out when I wasn't paying attention."
The dog named Sabre nestled in Yui Yuigahama's arms, looking at Garfield with some fear, seemingly still recalling the terror of being dominated.
"Okay, if your dog is alright, I'll be going now."
Ye Ziye wasn't familiar with the girl in front of him, so there was no need for him to communicate. Besides, he didn't really know how to have a friendly conversation with a girl, otherwise he wouldn't have been told off so many times by Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Hmm... Sabre is alright..."
Yui Yuigahama seemed somewhat surprised to see Yoko Yoru here. After uttering a few words in a daze, she fell silent.
Ye Ziye didn't continue to comfort the dog, but patted its head and went to walk Garfield again, leaving Yui Yuigahama standing there in a daze.
Ye Ziye is a well-known figure in the class and even the school, and Yui Yuigahama was also surprised to see him here.
"Does Ye Zi live here?"
After muttering something to herself, Yui Yuigahama slapped her forehead, looking somewhat annoyed. She had forgotten to ask Yoko Yoru for her LINE ID, even though she had been too shy to ask for it in the classroom.
"Let's do it next time then!"
Yui Yuigahama is good at regulating her emotions. After saying something in a low voice, she regained her energy and continued walking the dog.
Chapter 53
After taking Garfield for a walk, Ye Ziye returned to her rented apartment.
At this moment, Garfield had lost the imposing manner he had displayed when he subdued Sabre, and had reverted to his previous lazy demeanor, his pointed pupils now appearing as cute circles.
Ye Ziye rubbed its big face and thought that the walk should be limited to once a week. A slightly higher weight would also allow Garfield to better protect itself.
After feeding Garfield a bowl of cat food, Ye Ziye started preparing lunch for himself. After lunch, he would polish his novel so he could show it to Kudo Nami the next day.
Although it may sound a bit boastful, he was still very confident in his writing skills.
With the aid of learning skills, he could write articles with remarkable fluency, and his proficiency in these skills would steadily improve with each writing session.
Ye Ziye believes that his learning and cooking skills are currently at the maximum level of lv3, and breaking through to lv4 is only a matter of time. He thinks that these two skills will definitely reach lv5 before his swordsmanship.
Garfield's face was buried in his food bowl, cat food was spilled all over the floor, and there was also some milk mixed in.
Ye Ziye watched silently from the side, realizing he had made a mistake. He hadn't expected Garfield to bite so quickly; he had originally planned to feed him.
In this situation, his dream of not having to deal with cat food during the holidays has been shattered.
Watching Garfield eat so intently, Ye Ziye sighed. Not thinking of abusing a cute cat, she started eating her lunch as well.
Today's lunch was quite substantial, with braised pork and shredded potatoes. Yezi has been eating meat more frequently lately; she used to eat it once every five days, but now it's once every two days.
However, he still eats fruit as often as usual, once every two weeks. It has to be said that in this small island nation, fruit is really frighteningly expensive.
"Let's buy fruit next time we have a holiday."
Looking at the three apples and five oranges left in the cupboard, Ye Ziye made a plan.
Actually, he's become much more extravagant lately. In the past, he could have lasted three weeks with this amount of money, but he's been making a lot of money as a barista recently, and he's gotten a little cocky.
After dinner, Ye Ziye took out the novel he had written the day before, intending to polish it and add some more content, since a girl hadn't appeared in his novel yet.
The only conversations he had were with his pet.
By the way, in the novel, Garfield is portrayed as a stray cat, the kind that's skinny as a rake, and in the end, the protagonist has to work hard to break down its guard.
Looking at Garfield, whose shoulders were thicker than his waist, whose waist was bigger than his buttocks, whose buttocks were bigger than his face, and who didn't even have a neck, Ye Ziye felt that the stray cat might be the only unrealistic character in her novel.
Seemingly noticing his owner's gaze, Garfield turned his head. He was so engrossed in eating that his face was covered in milk, but his innocent eyes couldn't be hidden.
Ye Ziye sighed again. He had never felt this way towards anyone before.
After helping Garfield clean his face, Ye Ziye began to eat her lunch.
Under the blazing sun, both the person and the cat were diligently eating their lunch. Because Garfield ate first, he finished first and, having nothing else to do, started looking around for the toy.
Ye Ziye, who was clearing the dishes, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel that her decision to put the doll in the cabinet was the right one.
After washing the dishes and putting away the cat food, Ye Ziye finally began to polish his novel, a task he took quite seriously.
Time always flies when people are focused on doing something, and Ye Ziye felt the same way; in the blink of an eye, it had gotten dark.
I glanced at the time; it was already past 8 p.m.
That's all for now.
Ye Ziye leaned on the small desk to stand up, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, which was caused by low blood sugar.
It's time to put a plan to exercise on the agenda.
Ye Ziye thought to herself, and put the novel she had spent the afternoon polishing into the cabinet.
After such a long period of polishing, Ye Ziye felt that his novel had acquired the appeal of a typical novel, and the first female character had finally made her debut.
After living in the city for a while, the protagonist finally found a school and began his part-time work-study life.
As for the female character, Kato Hui also made an appearance. Although she only had a few lines, Ye Ziye felt that this was a breakthrough.
