She couldn't help herself and reached out to pat its head.

"Meow~" Meatball had fast reflexes and moved its head away.

Mu Xiaoxiao was disappointed. She poked its forehead and harrumphed.

Meatball shook its head.

Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao's phone rang.

Even though the cat didn't like her, she still felt reluctant to leave, and wanted to continue playing with it.

The little boy glanced at her before snatching up the cat and running away.

Mu Xiaoxiao then took out her phone. After seeing the caller ID, she answered it.

"Hello," her voice sounded a little gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Yin Shaojie had wanted to ask her where she was, but heard something in her voice and changed his question.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't answer, but asked instead, "Are you done with your work?"

Yin Shaojie said, "Not yet. You're not in the classroom, right? Where did you run off to? Didn't you promise me not to run off? Have you gone out of school again?"

"How did you know…" Mu Xiaoxiao paused before remembering that he had informants in her class, so he would obviously know if she wasn't in class.

"I didn't go out. I'm in school. I just didn't feel like attending English class. Originally… I wanted to go over to the Student Union building to look for you, but after walking for a bit, I found a lost cat, and it…" Mu Xiaoxiao was going to relay everything that had happened.

However, Yin Shaojie seemed to be busy, and moved the speaker away to talk to someone before turning back to talk to her again. "Come to the Student Union building. Don't run off again."

"Okay," Mu Xiaoxiao answered. He must be busy with a meeting.

Yin Shaojie hung up.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked down and kicked the grass beneath her feet before strolling over.

At the Student Union building.

She didn't want to interrupt his meeting and thus sent him a message saying that she was here, before strolling into his office by herself.

Bored, she lay on the sofa and started to play with her phone.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Yin Shaojie finally appeared and entered the office.

"Did something happen just now?" He placed the file in his hands onto the coffee table and squatted before her.

Mu Xiaoxiao sat up and crossed her legs.

She pouted as she said, "When I was coming over to find you, I met a really cute cat. It was a Scottish Fold! Its eyes were blue, just like a gem. It was so pretty! But it had a bad temper, and it looked like it didn't like me… It was so fierce to me but it was different towards… boys. I think it's a female."

Yin Shaojie laughed when he heard her description. "It might be. So you're upset because it refused to play with you?"

He knew that she liked little animals, especially cats.

Just then, the boy who had followed Yin Shaojie in said pleasingly, "Mu Xiaoxiao, if you like Scottish Folds, I know someone whose Scottish Fold is pregnant, and is about to give birth. If you want, I can get her to gift one to you."

"It's alright," said Yin Shaojie.

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head as well. "Yeah, I don't want one, thank you."

The boy scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "Oh, I see. If you want one someday, let me know."
