Ideal country

Unlike the small room next to the backyard of the shop that Huo Ke imagined, Xing Ye took Huo Ke to walk two streets and arrived at Xing Ye's home not far from the coffee shop.

Xing Ye's house is not too big, it's just a simple small room with two bedrooms and one living room, but it's very clean.Xing Ye went to the second bedroom, changed into new sheets and quilt covers, and it was ready for occupancy.

"You don't have any other luggage?" Xing Ye poured Huo Ke a glass of water.

Huo Ke patted the pocket of his coat: "It's all here."

Xing Ye laughed, but he didn't ask any more questions, he just said: "There are no vacant rooms in the store, so you live here first, and if you want to move out one day, please tell me. Everything in the living room needs to be used. You can move, clean together, respect each other's privacy, and can't enter and leave each other's room at will. That's about it, do you have any other requirements?"

Huo Ke agreed, and Xing Ye nodded, then got up and went back to the room.

Huo Ke returned to the room, carefully took out all his belongings in his pockets, found a suitable place in the room to put them properly, and happily buried himself in the quilt full of sunshine.

Thinking about it, it was still unbelievably smooth, and found a new territory so smoothly.

He observed this cafe and this man for three months, during which time he managed to get along well with all the cats here, inquired a lot of news from them, and then confirmed that this man who didn't talk much was indeed a nice guy.

Of course, thinking back on what those cats said to him now, I feel as if I was cheated by these stupid cats.

"Is there any shortage of people in your store?"

"Need, there can never be too many excrement shovelers!" This seems to be what the Siamese cat with the black face said.

"Then where do they usually live?"

"Except those who go back to their own home, they all live in the small house next to the back yard." This seems to be what the fat orange cat said.

Huo Ke gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes. He remembered the two cats.But... Huo Ke rolled comfortably on the bed, thinking, anyway, this territory is his now, so let's not bother with them.

When Xing Ye got up in the morning, he found that Huo Ke was already up, and even watered the green radishes on the balcony. Seeing him up, he greeted him with a smile.

The corners of Xing Ye's mouth twitched, and he didn't say much, but he put an extra egg in a good mood when making breakfast.

It's not too early for the cafe to open, Xing Ye didn't take Huo Ke to the shop until ten o'clock.His main task today is to take Huo Ke to recognize the cat in the store.

"This one is a Chinese pastoral cat named Pear Blossom. It is two years old now. That one is a Siamese cat named Chocolate. It is two and a half years old." Xing Ye scratched Milk's chin and continued, "This is an orange cat. , whose name is Juzi, is one year old now, and the one scratching the wall over there is Mei Short, whose name is Yinhe, and is now one and a half years old."

Huo Ke nodded, indicating that he remembered.

"The youngest is a short-haired white cat, only two months old, and its name is Milk."

Milk stared at the two with watery blue eyes, rubbed Huo Ke's hand next to his face, and coquettishly "meowed" a few times.

The weather is not very good today, and sure enough, it began to rain lightly before noon.

A young girl in a thin coat and short skirt entered the store at this time.Xing Ye was going to ask Huo Ke to order food for the guests, but when he saw the girl's face, he suddenly felt a little familiar.The girl was drenched in the rain and was still a little shivering, but when she saw Xing Ye's eyes looking this way, she smiled and nodded at him.

Xing Ye recognized who it was, and didn't say much, went to the counter and ordered a cup of hot chocolate for the girl that she used to ask for, then hugged the chocolate in front of her, and walked away silently.

The girl looked at Chocolate, who was a little timid in front of her, and her eyes suddenly turned red. She touched Chocolate's front paw lightly with her hand: "Chocolate, do you remember me?"

Chocolate shrank her paws back in fright at her movement.

The girl couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and she lay down on the table and began to cry in a low voice.

At this moment, she heard the sound of the cup falling gently on the table, and then felt something lightly touching her head.She looked up with tears in her eyes, and found a beautiful young man she had never seen before holding chocolate, pinching its little paws, and seeing her looking up, she smiled and waved her paws.

The young man sat down opposite her, pushed the hot chocolate over with one hand, and then carried the chocolate to the table.Chocolate tentatively took two steps forward, and called out "meow meow" twice.

After hearing this, the young man touched Chocolate's little head: "Chocolate said just now that it remembers you and that you are its original little master, but you haven't come for a long time, so it didn't recognize you at first."

The girl had just calmed down a little and her mood fluctuated again. She wiped away her tears and forced a smile, "Really?"

Chocolate barked a few more times, and Huo Ke continued to translate for it: "It said that it has always missed you, and it is very happy that you can come." Huo Ke was talking, and Chocolate walked up to lick the girl's hand .

The girl's tears flowed down again: "Thank you... I, I haven't been here for a year. Our family moved to another city last year, and my mother didn't allow me to keep cats. It came here."

"It's been a year...I've been afraid to come and see it...I really..." The girl couldn't go on, she covered her mouth and began to cry.

Chocolate meowed a few times and jumped into the girl's arms.

Huo Ke said: "Chocolate just said, don't cry, it didn't blame you, it is doing well now, you don't have to worry."

The girl nodded with tears in her eyes, and hugged the chocolate in her arms tightly.

Huo Ke handed her a tissue, smiled at her, and got up to leave space for this person and the cat.

Xing Ye who was not far away was a little surprised.

The girl might just think that he told the new clerk about the chocolate very carefully, but he knew it well, he didn't tell Huo Ke about it, so how did he know?

"Did Wen Pei tell you yesterday?"

"What?" The young man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize what Xing Ye was asking.

"About the chocolate. You said yesterday that you had been observing here for three months, but the chocolate came a year ago. How do you know?"

Huo Ke looked at him with some incomprehension: "I said it yesterday, I can speak cat language, and it just said it about chocolate."

The young man's eyes were still as clean and bright as water, and his expression did not seem fake, but it made Xing Ye reflect.

Did he really feel that he was too easy to deceive?
