The woman was sitting under a crooked tree, with an injured and bandaged tabby cat lying on her knees.
The woman gently stroked its back with one hand, while holding a book in her other hand and reading it carefully.
The bird walked directly in front of the woman.
Because the bird disappeared, only Mu Mengzi and the others could see it. The woman stroking the cat did not see the bird.
But the cat she was petting slowly opened its eyes, and then looked at Mu Mengzi and the others in front of them.
When the woman noticed that her cat opened its eyes, she put down the book and stroked its head with both hands and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu is awake?"
The woman saw her cat staring in front of her, so she followed his gaze, and in a blink of an eye, Mu Mengzi and the others came into view.
The woman was stunned immediately.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment.
Li Yanxiao also looked at him without any intention of speaking.
Mu Mengzi saw that there was no way to continue to be embarrassed like this, so she could only cough dryly and said: "Classmate Yuqi?"
That's right, the woman under the tree is none other than Yu Qi!
Yu Qi was a little surprised to see Mu Mengzi and the others. She had seen Mu Mengzi and the others in Ding Mu's office that day.
Although it was just one face, Yu Qi had a profound memory of the faces of Mu Mengzi and Li Yanxiao.
She didn't know why.
Yu Qi was stunned for a while before she realized what she should say. She lowered her head and said in a weak voice: "Hello, hello..."
Mu Mengzi is not stupid and can see that Yu Qi is relatively introverted.
She tried her best to smile as softly as possible: "Yu Qi, do you live here?"
Yu Qi also came back to his senses and heard Mu Mengzi's words.
She didn't even dare to look up at Mu Mengzi, and even avoided her eyes. Her body became a little stiff.
"I, I...live here..." Her voice was much softer than before.
Mu Mengzi almost didn't hear it.
She looked around. The environment here was not good, and it was still an area under development. Most of the old cities here were dilapidated buildings.
Mu Mengzi took another look at Yu Qi, who was burying his head. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Yu Qi's family situation was probably not very good.
Mu Mengzi would not be stupid enough to poke someone else's sore spot.
"This cat is so cute!" Mu Mengzi said while looking for a topic.
She was about to squat down and pet the cat in Yu Qi's arms, but Li Yanxiao suddenly grabbed her.
Mu Mengzi looked at Li Yanxiao in confusion, and saw Li Yanxiao looking at the cat held by Yu Qi with a solemn expression.
The smile on her cheeks suddenly froze. This time they were looking for Cannian, who was in this small old city.
Li Yanxiao also held her back to prevent her from touching the cat in Yu Qi's arms. Doesn't that mean that the cat was the Cannian they were looking for!?
Mu Mengzi stood there, not knowing what to do.
Yu Qi didn't raise his head, so he didn't see Ding Mu Mengzi's smiles freeze and Li Yanxiao's actions to stop Mu Mengzi.
When she heard Mu Mengzi wanted to touch her Xiaoyu, she unconsciously protected Xiaoyu in her arms.
The tone was also a bit firm: "Xiao, Xiaoyu's injury hasn't healed yet... it... it's afraid of strangers... I'm sorry!"
When Mu Mengzi saw Yu Qi giving him the steps, he did not hesitate: "Well, forget it then!"
There was no topic for a while, and the atmosphere became awkward again.
Mu Mengzi wanted to speak, but she really couldn't find the words.
She looked at Li Yanxiao who had already withdrawn his hand.
Li Yanxiao had no intention of speaking, his eyes were always on the cat in Yu Qi's arms.
Xiaoyu in Yuqi's arms seemed to have noticed Li Yanxiao's gaze. It glanced at Li Yanxiao, closed its eyes calmly and continued to enjoy the falling sunshine.
