Chapter 45: Snowflakes
The light gray cat squatted on the snow on the ground and gulped on cat food, due to its short legs and low chassis, its belly would obviously be very cold close to the snow surface, and its body was constantly shivering.
"It looks cold." The woman couldn't help but remind Lin Cheng.
"I can see it."
The woman tentatively asked, "Then do you want to pick it up?" β
"Huh?"
Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, stared at the woman twice, and she pulled her collar up again, covering her chin.
Lin Cheng picked up the cat, "Here you go." β
"Huh? Can I hug it? β
The woman hurriedly stretched out her hand, and subconsciously pulled her sleeve to cover her wrist, for fear of being clawed again.
This time the cat was very honest, shrinking into the woman's arms and eating the cat food in the bowl, it seemed that Lin Cheng suddenly let down his vigilance next to him.
The woman struggled to block the wind with her coat, "What's its name?" β
"No name."
"And what do you call it? Nabi? The woman was puzzled.
Many Koreans call a cat they don't know Nabi, which is similar to what we call Mimi.
Lin Cheng thought for a while, "I can shout whatever I want, hey, stupid, melon skin, unlucky and so on." β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·β
For Lin Cheng's sloppiness, the woman didn't know what to say, and felt the trembling of the cat in her arms gradually stop, and she couldn't help but smile.
"You want to adopt it?"
"Hmm."
The woman glanced at Lin Cheng cautiously and explained, "I think that on such a cold day, it may be very difficult. β
Since there is no rabies threat in South Korea, people are generally friendly to stray animals, especially stray cats around universities are much more stable than in other places.
The relevant clubs of the school have set up rice bowls for stray cats in many corners, and there will be students who put cat food on time every day, and the stray cats around them have learned to eat on time.
But in such a winter, the living environment of stray cats is still very difficult, and many students go home from vacation, and whether the cat food can be delivered on time is a problem.
"Well, this guy is a little stupid, but he still looks good."
Lin Cheng nodded, because his appearance was too high, there were actually many people who tried to adopt this stupid cat in the past two years.
However, this guy doesn't come close to anyone except Lin Cheng, and he generally doesn't eat what others give him, and basically goes to eat the public cat food put by the school.
In fact, if this guy was willing to eat what others gave him, he wouldn't have run to the school's artificial lake to catch fish.
It turns out that the little short legs are really not suitable for fishing.
That was the time Lin Cheng jumped down to save it, and Lin Cheng became the only person in the school who would take the initiative to approach.
"So, can I keep it?"
Because of the cat's attitude, the woman subconsciously asked Lin Cheng's opinion.
Lin Cheng smiled and touched the cat's head buried in the rice bowl, "Of course." β
For stray cats, fighting is inevitable, this guy is not the opponent of those cat kings outside because of his short legs, and he only eats the leftover cat food every time, and he really needs to have a stable living environment.
And this stupid cat usually doesn't eat what others give, but just now he was eating the dried fish given by the woman, obviously hungry.
Either the classmates in the school club did not put the cat food in time, or the cat food was robbed by other cats.
Although he came over like this before, the temperature this winter was very cold, and Lin Cheng didn't worry about this guy continuing to wander outside.
Affirmed by Lin Cheng, the woman was obviously very happy, and kept stroking the cat's back with her hand.
"You can take it to the hospital for a check-up, I have taken it to neutralization surgery and vaccinations before."
"Huh?"
The woman was stunned, since Lin Cheng didn't plan to adopt this cat, why did he do this?
"If you like it so much, why don't you keep it?"
Lin Cheng didn't admit it, "Who said I like this stupid cat?" If it dies, won't my sin of jumping into the lake in the middle of the winter be in vain? And if there is no takeaway I will starve to death myself, where will I have time to take care of it? β
To be honest, Lin Cheng himself doesn't hate cats.
Since he was born, he has had a cat by his side.
From toddler to babbling to first enrollment.
Many moments of Lin Cheng's childhood have its testimony.
Although, perhaps, it simply does not understand what that means.
The child's feelings are very pure, and at that time, Lin Cheng seemed to the cat to be almost his best friend.
As he grows up, the cat grows old.
In the end, at the age of twelve, Lin Cheng experienced parting for the first time.
That feeling was very uncomfortable, and Lin Cheng didn't want to experience it again.
Even though he was no longer the child he used to be, he still couldn't predict whether he would be sad or not.
Because of this, even if Lin Cheng often came to feed this silly cat, he didn't really think about living with this guy.
The woman felt that Lin Cheng's words were a bit contradictory, but she was still very happy to confirm that she could adopt the little one in her arms.
"How about I name it Snowflake? When I saw it just now, it was covered in snowflakes. β
"Whatever you want."
Lin Cheng couldn't help but reach out and touch the cat's head again, "If, I mean if, if you are troublesome in the future, please throw it back here, here it is familiar with the ground, at least it will not starve to death." β
"I'm not going to leave it behind."
The woman nodded hurriedly, and then said with some hesitation: "OtherwiseΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β· Do you leave a contact form? When it's settled, I can show you how Xuehua lives. β
Lin Cheng shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not his master anyway, and what to do in the future is his fate." β
After speaking, Lin Cheng handed over the half bag of cat food in his hand, "I'm useless for this thing, give it to you, I'll leave first." β
"Would you like to hug it again?"
Lin Cheng glanced at it, and after the guy was full, he curled up honestly, probably because the warm environment in the woman's arms made it very comfortable, and he looked around with wide eyes.
After experiencing a warm embrace and a stable life, it probably won't want to wander anymore in the future.
"Forget it, no need."
Lin Cheng turned around, and suddenly remembered something after just two steps.
"By the way, are you staying in a dormitory or renting an apartment outside?"
"Huh?"
Lin Cheng reminded, "The school dormitory can't have cats, if it's renting a house, you'd better communicate with the landlord first." β
The woman chuckled, her eyes narrowed, "Do I look like a student?" β
"You're not a student?"
Lin Cheng still felt that she looked a little familiar just now, and wondered if it was a classmate from his club.
So Lin Cheng hasn't asked for a title or something, in case it is his classmate in the past three years, why do you ask what people's names are, how embarrassing is this?
