Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"You can hibernate at any time? Does that mean you can hibernate without sleeping? I've heard of squirrels in hibernation, snakes in hibernation, but I've never heard of cats in hibernation. Didn't you claim to be a noble pet butler from the future galaxy? So, if you go into hibernation, who will be the butler?"

Jiang Yao poked the cat's head, but she did not reach out to shake his hand.

Then, Lu Xingzhi went into the room with a wet mop. He heard what Jiang Yao said, so he asked, "What hibernation?"

Lu Xingzhi walked too quickly. By the time he realized the situation, it was already too late. Lu Xingzhi's hand had already reached out to Moe; he pinched the cat's neck and lifted him.

"What a small cat! Is this the pet that Manager Sun said you kept in the dormitory for a long time?" Lu Xingzhi reached out and poked the white cat that did not even struggle against him. He knew that Jiang Yao had another cat besides Mimi, but he had never seen it.

When he looked at the small white ball in his hand, he let out a strange exclamation and turned around to ask Jiang Yao. "Is this a dumb cat? Even an animal as timid as Mimi would struggle when someone picked them up. Why is it hanging like a dead cat?"

Jiang Yao also felt that it was strange. If someone had carried Mimi like that, Mimi would have already tried to scratch them before they ran away. Even Chen Xuyao could not touch it when he saw the cat. Why was Moe so obedient in Lu Xingzhi's hands? He did not even curse; he stayed quiet. Yes, he was silent. It was as if he was a dumb cat, just as Lu Xingzhi had said.

"Don't put the cat in your backpack. They have fleas and parasites." Lu Xingzhi took Jiang Yao's bag and looked at it. Then, he asked, "Where's Mimi? Didn't you bring Mimi with you? Did you bring the cat's bed?"

"Mimi is still in Nanjiang City. I left her at Little An's place," Jiang Yao explained. She did not bring the cat's bed with her.

When Lu Xingzhi learned that Jiang Yao did not bring the cat's bed with her, he took the cat in his hand and walked around the room. Then, he walked out of the bedroom. After a while, he called out to Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao wondered if Moe had exposed her secret to Lu Xingzhi and if she should tell her husband that Moe was different from Mimi. Then, finally, she walked out of the bedroom.

She did not expect to see Moe's angry face the moment she entered the living room.

Jiang Yao looked at the shoes in Lu Xingzhi's hands and then at Moe, who had been stuffed into the shoes, possibly by Lu Xingzhi. She facepalmed for a long time. "Are these your military boots?"

"No." Lu Xingzhi shook his head earnestly. "They're Zhou Junmin's. He came here for a drink not too long ago. After that, he went home in a pair of my slippers and left his shoes here. I heard that cats like to stay in boots. Look! I think this pair of boots is quite suitable for your pet to use as a temporary bed."

"Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow...how is it suitable?" Moe's front paws rested on the edge of the boots. He looked unwilling, but when he protested with Jiang Yao, he could only meow softly.

Lu Xingzhi did not understand the cat language. When he heard the sound, he thought that the cat had liked the new nest that he had prepared for it. He even said to Jiang Yao proudly, "Look! The cat likes it very much."

"Why would you think it likes it?" Jiang Yao wanted to cry, but she had no tears. Instead, she walked forward and saved Moe from Zhou Junmin's military boots.
