The light gray cat squatted on the snow on the ground and ate cat food. Due to its short legs and low base, its belly was obviously very cold when it was close to the snow, and its body was constantly shivering.
“It seems to be very cold.” The woman couldn’t help but remind Lin Cheng.
“I can see it.”
The woman tried: "Then do you want to pick it up?"
"Um?"
Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment and stared at the woman twice. She then pulled her collar up to cover her chin.
Lin Cheng picked up the cat and said, "Here you go."
“Ah? Can I hug you?”
The woman quickly stretched out her hand, and subconsciously pulled her sleeves to cover her wrists, for fear of being clawed again.
This time the cat was very honest. It huddled in the woman's arms and ate the cat food from the bowl. It seemed that Lin Cheng suddenly let down his guard when he was nearby.
The woman tried to block the wind with her coat, "What's its name?"
"no name."
“Then what do you call it? Nabi?” The woman was confused.
Many Koreans call unfamiliar cats Nabi, which is similar to what we call Mimi.
Lin Cheng thought for a while, "I can shout whatever I want. Hey, Idiot, Guapi, Unlucky Guy and so on."
ˆ “·····”
The woman didn't know what to say to Lin Cheng's hastiness. She felt the trembling of the cat in her arms gradually stop, and she couldn't help but smile.
“You want to adopt it?”
"Um."
The woman glanced at Lin Cheng carefully and explained: "I think it might be difficult for him in such a cold weather."
Since there is no threat of rabies virus in South Korea, people's attitude towards stray animals is generally friendly, especially the lives of stray cats around universities are much more stable than in other places.
Relevant clubs in the school have set up food bowls for stray cats in many corners. Students will put out cat food on time every day, and the stray cats around have learned to eat on time.
But in this winter, the living environment of stray cats is still very difficult. Many students go home for the holidays, and whether cat food can be delivered on time is a problem.
“Well, this guy is a bit stupid, but he’s still pretty good-looking.”
Lin Cheng nodded. Because of his good looks, many people have actually tried to adopt this stupid cat in the past two years.
But this guy doesn’t get close to anyone except Lin Cheng. He usually doesn’t eat what others give him. He basically eats the public cat food provided by the school.
Actually, if this guy was willing to eat what others gave him, he wouldn’t act like an idiot and go fishing in the school’s artificial lake.
Facts have proven that short legs are really not suitable for fishing.
It was that time when Lin Cheng jumped down to save it, Lin Cheng became the only person in the school that this guy would take the initiative to approach.
“Then, can I raise it?”
Because of the cat’s attitude, the woman subconsciously asked Lin Cheng for his opinion.
Lin Cheng smiled and touched the cat's head buried in the rice bowl, "Of course."
For stray cats, fights are unavoidable. Due to his short legs, this guy is no match for the cat kings outside. He only eats the leftover cat food every time. He really needs a stable living environment.
Moreover, this silly cat usually doesn't eat food given by others, but it was eating dried fish given by the woman just now. It was obviously hungry.
Either the classmates in the school club did not put out the cat food in time, or the cat food was snatched by other cats.
Although I have come here before, the temperature this winter is extremely cold, and Lin Cheng is not worried about this guy continuing to wander outside.
After receiving Lin Cheng's approval, the woman was obviously very happy and kept stroking the cat's back with her hands.
“You just need to take it to the hospital for a checkup later. I have had neuter surgery on it before and have also been vaccinated.”
"Um?"
The woman was stunned. Since Lin Cheng didn't plan to adopt the cat, why did he do this?
“Since you like it so much, why don’t you raise it?”
Lin Cheng refused to admit it, "Who said I like this stupid cat? If it dies, wouldn't my crime of jumping into the lake in the winter be in vain? And if I don't have food, I will starve to death, and I will have no time to take care of it.
?”
To be honest, Lin Cheng doesn’t hate cats.
Ever since he was born, there has been a cat by his side.
From toddlerhood to babbling and then to school for the first time.
Many moments in Lin Cheng’s childhood are witnessed by it.
Although, maybe it doesn't understand what those mean at all.
Children’s emotions are very pure. At that time, Lin Cheng thought cats were almost his best friends.
As he grows up, the cat also gets older.
Finally, at the age of twelve, Lin Cheng experienced separation for the first time.
That feeling was so uncomfortable that Lin Cheng didn’t want to experience it again.
Even though he is no longer the child he once was, he still can't predict whether he will be sad when the time comes.
It is precisely because of this that even if Lin Cheng often comes to feed this silly cat, he has never really considered living with this guy.
The woman felt that Lin Cheng's words were a bit contradictory, but she was still very happy to confirm that she could adopt the little guy in her arms.
“How about I name it Snowflake? When I saw it just now, it was covered in snowflakes.”
“It’s up to you.”
Lin Cheng couldn't help but reached out and touched the cat's head again, "If, I mean if, you find it troublesome in the future, please throw it back here. It is familiar with the land here, and at least it will not starve to death."
“I won’t leave it behind.”
The woman nodded quickly, and then said hesitantly: "How about... you leave a contact information? I can show you Xuehua's living situation when you are settled."
Lin Cheng shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not his master anyway, whatever happens to him in the future is his fate."
After finishing speaking, Lin Cheng handed over the half bag of cat food, "I don't have any use for this stuff anymore. I'll give it to you. I'll leave first."
“Would you like to hug it again?”
Lin Cheng took a look and saw that the guy was curled up after eating. It was probably the warm environment in the woman's arms that made him feel comfortable, and he was looking around with his big eyes open.
After experiencing a warm embrace and a stable life, it probably won’t want to wander again in the future.
“Forget it, no need.”
Lin Cheng turned around and just took two steps when he suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, do you live in a dormitory or rent a house outside?”
"Um?"
Lin Cheng reminded, “Cats are not allowed in school dormitories. If you are renting a house, you’d better communicate with the landlord first.”
The woman chuckled and narrowed her eyes, "Do I look like a student?"
“You’re not a student?”
Lin Cheng thought she looked familiar just now, and wondered if she was a classmate of his club.
So Lin Cheng never asked about his name. What if it was his classmate for three years? How embarrassing would it be if you asked him what his name was?
