Chapter Twenty-One: Him and Her and the Cat
The girl froze in place, and Lin Quan hugged the kitten from her arms.
"What are you looking at?"
"Ahh I guess I didn't sleep well at noon. The boy held the cat in one hand and reached out to her with the other.
Spread your palms. Slender knuckles, delicate lines can be seen clearly.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Chuan had a momentary urge to stretch out his hand, and saw that his thin lips were slowly activating.
"Give me the cat food money, a total of 30 yuan."
"Huh? Oh. ”
The girl came out of her fantasy and walked to the room in a huff, "Now, your money." ”
Coming out of the house, Lin Quan was already sitting on the sofa and playing tricks on his kitten.
"Why is your doll in my house?"
"Doll?"
Jiang Chuan hugged a pillow and sat aside, she thought about it carefully, and there seemed to be no such thing in her impression.
"You open the plastic bag and look at what's inside."
She followed the boy's instructions and saw something she hadn't seen in a long time, "How did this thing end up with you?" I thought it was lost. ”
The girl's eyes were full of incredulity, and she took the doll out of the bag, "Eh, this thing has been left for too long, you see this dress has faded." ”
Unconcealed with joy, the boy's eyes followed her movements.
"You left this thing at my house, remember when it was taken?"
"It?" The girl's eyebrows tightened, "I guess it's 6 or 7 years old, right?" ”
"Remembered? So how did you get it down? ”
Lin Quan was kind and seductive, and Jiang Chuan remembered the scene that night. His eyes suddenly turned red, and tears kept rolling in them.
"What else can there be, I seem to remember the time you lost it and you disappeared for half a year."
She lowered her head, and memories flooded back like snowflakes, "My parents divorced that day, right?" ”
An uncertain tone, a bitter expression.
Lin Quan knew that she remembered what happened that day.
"Isn't it just the loss of a doll? What's all the fuss. When she looked up again, her expression changed, and she was still so nonchalant. The tears were sucked back, and the expression was as usual.
"It's okay."
The boy put the kitten down, went to the door, and looked back, "You'd better go to my house and see, what has your cat made of my house?" ”
"Huh?"
She saw a mess of paper everywhere, cat food scattered all over the floor. Jiang Chuan was stunned, when did her kitten become so wild?
The corners of her mouth twitched and looked at Lin Quan, "Are you sure that this is my cat's doing, not a thief." ”
The boy nodded slightly, "I'm pretty sure, so you'd better clean it up before dinner." ”
The tone was still cold, Jiang Chuan glared at his kitten fiercely, and then looked for a broom. The sound of the bell chopping vegetables came from the kitchen, and the girl heard it well outside.
Soon, the aroma of food came from inside. Jiang Chuan stopped, saw the tall back, and the movements of his hands slowed down.
"What if you want to eat? It's best if I clean the floor before I'm done. ”
was debunked, and the girl's movements instantly became sharp. When she saw the two dishes and one soup on the table, she confirmed that Lin Quan was talking to her. Wash your hands, sit at the table obediently, and watch the boy busy before and after.
The dishes were all served, Lin Quan took off his apron and sat in front of the girl. Also at the table was the ubiquitous kitten, and the food box was brought to the table.
"Is this cat going to eat at the table too?"
