Chapter 889: Chapter 889: [Extra] May I Add You on WeChat?
After the October holidays, Xu Weiran became noticeably busier.
The research institute signed several major projects, with Xu Weiran being the head of one of the key projects.
This project is in collaboration with the military, involves core interests of the troops, and is classified as a top-secret project requiring relevant researchers to relocate to live on the military premises.
During the research period, no contact with the outside world is allowed.
Moreover, even the closest people cannot be told about the project details.
Sheng Ning’an only knows that during the research period, the other person has to stay with the troops, but is unaware of the duration or specific research details.
For a full six months, the two had no contact.
Fortunately, Little Cutie was there to keep her company.
The initially pretty and cute kitten had grown up to be stunningly attractive.
Every time Sheng Ning’an takes it out, she always attracts a bunch of admiring eyes.
Habit is a terrifying thing; during the first few days after Xu Weiran left, Sheng Ning’an didn’t feel much, but gradually, she suddenly felt the house was exceptionally empty.
Every time she picked up her phone out of habit to send something to Xu Weiran, she’d realize after composing the message that he couldn’t contact the outside world, and even if she sent a message, he wouldn’t see it.
So she could only delete it word by word.
To avoid thinking about him, Sheng Ning’an worked hard to keep herself busy; besides her daily coursework, she also got herself a gym membership and exercised whenever she had free time.
On weekends, she would go home to spend time with her grandparents and parents, and occasionally visit Mr. Xu and Mother Xu.
As days passed, Sheng Ning’an gradually got used to the lifestyle of one person and a cat, though sometimes she would find herself staring blankly at the house they lived in together or something they used together.
On weekends, Sheng Ning’an took Little Cutie to the pet hospital for a regular check-up.
As soon as she arrived at the pet shop, she saw a boy squatting at the entrance, holding a stick of cat treat to feed an orange cat in front of him. The cat looked very thin, with wounds visible on its body.
The boy gently reached out and petted the orange cat’s head, and upon hearing the doorbell, he looked back.
He was a very young and handsome guy.
Upon seeing Sheng Ning’an, he politely greeted her, “Are you here to get a check-up for your cat? The doctor is busy.” The source of this content ɪs novel•fire.net
“It’s okay, I can wait a while.” Sheng Ning’an visited the pet shop every month and was acquainted with the owner and staff there.
However, the boy in front of her seemed unfamiliar, and Sheng Ning’an instinctively thought he was a new employee at the pet shop.
After speaking, the boy withdrew his gaze and continued to feed the orange cat in front of him.
Sheng Ning’an’s gaze also fell on the orange cat in front of him.
This cat was really too skinny, with bones poking out, and especially its fur had been shaved off, exposing many wounds, clearly showing signs of severe abuse.
Being a cat owner, Sheng Ning’an couldn’t help but feel pity.
After feeding the cat strip in his hand, the boy took out another one, preparing to open it, when Sheng Ning’an said, “Feeding one strip at a time is enough. Judging by its appearance, it probably hasn’t eaten for a long time. Feeding too much at once might cause it to have digestive issues.”
Sheng Ning’an was a bit puzzled; this new employee didn’t seem very familiar with pet care.
The boy paused for a moment, then put away the cat strip and thanked Sheng Ning’an. His gaze fell on Little Cutie in Sheng Ning’an’s arms, and he couldn’t help but say, “Your cat is very beautiful!”
Its fur was smooth and shiny, clearly very well cared for.
In stark contrast to the big orange cat in front of him.
Whenever she takes Little Cutie out, Sheng Ning’an often hears others complimenting it.
