Chapter 10: Kittens
She staggered to the opposite corner, and under the bright street lamp, she saw a blackened kitten with its tail hooked into the wire fence at the head of the wall. The cat's body was injured, and the blood that flowed out was already a little scabbed, and it looked extremely pitiful.
An Zhi has been very fond of cats since she was a child, but her parents are very annoying, they don't allow her to keep cats at home, and even go to tease the neighbor's big fat cat, they will be unhappy. This will, the sad An Zhi, seeing an injured kitten, instantly forgot her unhappiness, she carefully stepped on a few bricks, and pulled the injured cat's tail off the wire with her feet.
Because the body was hooked against the wall, the kitten seemed to have not eaten for a long time, and its breath was very weak. Anzhi hugged it, sat under the street lamp, put it on his lap, and gently stroked it with his hand. The kitten licked her weakly with its tongue, without the slightest intention of struggling, it was all black, without a single stray hair, and it was soft and smooth to the touch. Under the street lamp, its eyes are copper-brown, as if inlaid with the colors of dusk in them, which makes An Zhi feel very warm.
"Don't you have nowhere to go? What about your mom and dad? An Zhi asked very gently.
The cat rubbed her hand with her head, and then stretched out her little pink tongue to lick her fingers, and the wet little nose rubbed against her hand, which was extremely comfortable. A trace of pity rose in An's heart, and I really wanted to take it home with me and sleep with it. However, she couldn't, and if she brought the kitten home, her parents would be angry and might even kick her out.
An's parents have a very bad temper, and they quarrel almost every day, which is a well-known thing in the community. As soon as they quarrel, they will be earth-shattering and smashed, and even she, the only daughter, will be scolded and beaten inexplicably. They get angry without any warning, and even the smallest things can make them angry.
On this big night, An Zhi has already soiled the clothes on her body, if they see her again and bring back a stray cat without authorization, then the family will definitely be full of chickens and dogs. Thinking of the picture of his parents arguing, An Zhi couldn't help but shudder.
"What are you going to do? I don't have anywhere to go! She let out a long sigh and stood under the street lamp with the kitten in her arms.
"Are you going to stand here until dawn?" Suddenly, a good-looking boy appeared in front of An Zhi's eyes. He smiled so beautifully, with a mouthful of white teeth, a pair of smiling eyes, a handsome nose and mouth, and the same blue and white striped clothes, which were worn on him, but they were particularly good-looking.
An Zhi looked at him and felt that there was a bit of a trance in front of him, as if there was a bright light shining on his eyes, and he couldn't open his eyes. She felt that she was dreaming, such a good-looking person, would she be smiling at herself? She is used to being ignored and thinks that it is right that others do not see her.
"Hey! Hello! My name is Fan Zichao, we are from the same school, I am in the high school, and I am one level higher than you! I know you, you are the new transfer of He Yang, right? The boy smiled again naturally.
He greeted her as if he were talking to a friend he had known for a long time, without the slightest twist or uneasiness. Compared with his calmness, An Zhi's expression was obviously very nervous, and her face suddenly became very red and hot.
Because she rarely had the opportunity to talk to boys, especially those who were so good-looking, she didn't know what to say at all. For He Yang, she hasn't completely memorized this new name, just like she hasn't completely gotten used to that new and beautiful school and those classmates.
"You, hello!" The unhappiness that I had just suffered was naturally diluted a lot after facing the boy's closeness and smile.
An Zhi involuntarily let down a trace of his guard and said hello shyly. She looked at him timidly, her tone a little stammering and excited, after all, this time, it was the first time she took the initiative to say hello.
"He Yang, don't be afraid of those people, the more scared you are, the more proud they will be. Those people didn't hurt you just now, did they? Should we go to the hospital? Or go to the police uncle and catch those bad guys? They'll take care of it! Crossing the alley, my house is on that side, just at that end, I saw you and those people, so I hurriedly ran over to help you. It's a pity, it's still late, don't worry, I'm your friend, don't be afraid! Speaking of the unhappiness that had just happened, the boy was also a little excited and said a lot.
"Thanks, thanks. It's okay, just ignore it! The first time Anzhi heard that others cared so much about her, her face became even redder.
She was tempted to ask him, why are you helping me? Why be my friend? However, she was too timid to ask. Thus, the answer to this question became a secret. It wasn't until many years later that An Zhi had the opportunity to know why Fan Zichao was good to her.
This reason is also the reason why General Manager Zhang is sure that An Zhi will definitely have an accident.
"Can't you take this kitten home? Why are you standing here all the time? The boy saw that she did not say much, and asked enthusiastically.
An Zhi said in a low voice: "My parents, they hate cats very much!" Very nasty! She didn't dare look up into the boy's eyes, he looked so happy, his parents must not quarrel.
"Oh no, my family is also allergic to cat hair, and I can't take in kittens!" The boy's voice fell, and he frowned, silent in thought.
After a while, the boy said happily, "There is a way, let's go to Treber, he will definitely be able to take this cat in!" He loves small animals, and the people are very nice! ”
The boy said happily, and before An Zhi could speak, he reached out and grabbed An Zhi's arm, and dragged her and the kitten out of the alley. That day, with Fan Zichao's enthusiastic help, An Zhi handed over the kitten to an old man named Cui Bo. The old man and his wife lived in a small yard, and they bandaged the kitten's wounds, placed it in the house, and promised to take good care of it.
The two happy children agreed that after school in the future, the two would often come to see the cat together, and their homes were in the same direction anyway. After returning home that day, An Zhi was very happy, she decided that Fan Zichao was a friend, a very good friend, and thinking that she had a friend, she loved that school more.
But in fact, there is one thing she doesn't know, Fan Zichao is the person that the senior sister likes, the male god in other people's mouths. His help to Ann, and the cat's promise, will only make her life more difficult, because some people will want to ruin what they can't get.
Some people's malice towards An Zhi has become more subtle and sharp. However, all this, the grasp and calculation of human nature, are all expected by General Manager Zhang.
