White clouds drifted across the sky, gradually blocking out the sun.
Inside the park, where green trees cast deep shade, two petite figures were happily swimming in the artificial lake at its center.
"Splash, splash, splash..."
The water churned as Little Black Cat quickly surfaced. It shook its tiny head, then looked toward the shore not far away.

"Little Black, you still haven't caught any fish?" Zhou Tongtong asked.
"Meow... They're too cunning," Little Black Cat said awkwardly.
Just now, it had confidently assured Zhou Tongtong that it would definitely catch some fish this time.

"Meow... I told you long ago that the fish in this lake are hard to catch. If you want fish, go catch them by the river. Those fish are stupid and much easier to catch," Little White Cat said.

Zhou Tongtong looked up at the sun hidden behind the clouds. Before she had left home, Xia Qing had told her to come back when it was almost lunchtime and not make her go searching for her in the park.

"We've been out for a long time. It's almost time for lunch, so hurry ashore. We're going home."
"Meow..." Little White Cat and
