Matcha walked up to Floret surrounded by the crowd’s anxious shouting. He looked at the tri-colored cat and said, “Hi, my name is Matcha. I am your brother’s good friend.”
Floret lifted her eyes, glanced at Matcha and lowered her head again. She bit onto the fish head and hid in a corner as if she was afraid that Matcha would snatch her food.
“Do you think I would snatch food from you?” Matcha spoke to her gently. “Although I may look ordinary, I am a Scottish Fold from Jianghai. My family owns a cat café. We even have an island on off the shores of Jianghai. I can bring you on a fishing trip if you like.”
Everyone behind the Dimension Portal was complaining, “He is that shameless?”
However, the tri-colored cat was not interested in what he said. She sized him up and went back to eating her fish head.
Matcha nudged Yellow Mud and asked, “Is your sister okay? Why is she not interested in such a perfect guy like me?”
Yellow Mud was a bit embarrassed as he explained, “Floret is an ordinary cat. She does not understand what we are talking about.”
“What?” Matcha looked at the tri-colored cat who was gobbling down the fish head and was surprised. “She has not awakened?”
“Yeah.” Yellow Mud nod his head and said, “Floret was born at the same time as me, but she has not been awakened. Furthermore, her leg is injured, so I bring her food every day to take care of her.”
As he spoke, Yellow Mud licked his sister’s fur and cleaned it for her.
All the supercats behind the Dimension Portal meowed gently. They looked at Yellow Mud and Floret sympathetically.
After eating, Floret looked satisfied as she started licking her own fur. After cleaning herself, she yawned, hobbled towards a paper box and slept inside free of worries.
For an ordinary cat, hunting, eating, cleaning herself and sleeping was a normal routine.
Yellow Mud was also yawning and told Matcha. “Matcha, let’s sleep. It is very cold at night.”
“What?” Matcha was speechless, “You guys sleep so early?”
Yellow Mud nod his head and said, “Yeah, what else can you do after eating? Only with sufficient sleep will we have the strength to look for food. We need to go look for food again after midnight.” He pointed to the box Floret was sleeping in and told Matcha. “I found this paper box recently, it is clean. Come and sleep in it or you will be awakened by the cold.”
For Yellow Mud, the paper box beside the dustbin was very clean. But for Matcha, this box was filled with germs, dirt, and a stench from the dustbin.
However, he couldn’t bring himself to speak the truth. Hence, he said, “I don’t sleep that early. You can go and sleep first.”
Yellow Mud nodded his head. “Okay then. We shall sleep first.”
He watched Yellow Mud and his sister squeeze together in the paper box and Floret kept nudging towards Yellow Mud’s stomach. Matcha sighed and looked at the moon outside the window.
“Aye… It is so boring.” Matcha placed his bag down. “Moments like these are made for playing a game of Mobile Legends.”
When he turned on his phone, he was stunned.
“There is only 7% of the battery left!” He suddenly recalled that he had played three hours of Mobile Legends when he was under the block.
“Damn it. I can’t play a game with 7%”
Matcha was looking at the low-battery phone when he suddenly remembered. “I have left for so long, shouldn’t Zhao Yao be worried sick? ”
In Matcha’s imagination, after Zhao Yao went downstairs and realized he had left, Zhao Yao shouted and looked for him anxiously. “Little Matcha! Little Matcha! Where are you?”
Then he shouted exasperatedly, “Ahhh! I regret everything now! Why did I throw you out!”
“As long as you can come back! I am willing to hand you all the savings from the Cat café and Cat Island!”
As he thought of it, he giggled and opened WeChat. “Humph. Maybe he’s already looking for me.”
He scanned through updates and was disappointed. “No one mentioned that I ran away from home? What a bunch of cold-blooded creatures.”
Thinking of this, he messaged Old Cat and asked, “Old Cat, how is Zhao Yao? Is he worried sick? Is he very anxious, stressed, and remorseful?”
Old Cat squinted and looked at Zhao Yao who was playing with his phone on the sofa and answered, “He looks very normal.”
“What?!” Matcha was extremely disappointed and continued asking, “What about the other supercats? Did they feel for me? Are they opposed to Zhao Yao’s tyranny?”
“Nope, everyone is the same. They look pretty happy.”
“These ungrateful brats!” Matcha was annoyed. “They were all lying to me!”
After a while, Matcha realized that his phone had run out of battery. He stared at the black screen and let out a howl.
“Damn it. What am I going to do now?”
Matcha lay on the floor and staring at his black phone screen in despair. It was so early. Normally at this time he was still high from playing. How could he fall asleep?
He was rolling around on the ground and thinking about his current situation.
“Damn, I want to go home.”
“What should I do next?”
“No matter what, I should charge my phone first.”
After a while, Matcha fell asleep unknowingly.
On the other side of the Dimension Portal, all the cats watched this scene with great interest.
“He is asleep! He is really asleep!”
“He moved! He moved! His right leg just moved!”
“Look! Look! Floret is about to turn!”
In his sleep, Matcha rolled into the paper box and cuddled together with Yellow Mud and Floret as it was too cold.
Zhao Yao yawned and told Dust Ball. “Dust Ball help me look after Matcha and record it for me.”
Dust Ball looked at Zhao Yao speechlessly, “What?”
“I will have to trouble you.” Zhao Yao stroked Dust Ball’s head and said, “You will watch after Matcha for me. If there is anything just call me. I still have to work and meet the Cat Kings tomorrow to promote the catmint.”
When he saw that Dust Ball was unwilling, he continued. “Be good. Matcha is so useless, you don’t want him to die outside too right?”
“Okay.” Dust Ball sighed, “I will look after this useless cat.” She mumbled, “It’s not because I am afraid that something will happen to him. It is because I enjoy watching him suffer.”
