Chapter 135

If the expenses go any higher, will she really have to compete with Chun Qiu for cat food? After all, it's been eating three meals a day lately and has gained quite a bit of weight; it's winter, so it's good for it to lose some weight. "Ah... Little Green and Xiaobai are currently serving customers... How about I let other cats serve you two first?" "The other girls and boys in our shop are also very talented and beautiful, no less so than Little Green and Xiaobai, they're just more popular." "The other cats also have very good personalities, each with its own unique charm." A very gentle man was sitting at the counter, patiently explaining, showing no fear or annoyance at Xia Fen's arrogance and abstract language. Yes, gentle. Hua Xin looked at the man wearing an orange canvas apron with suspenders and slightly long hair with a bit more curiosity. He wasn't particularly handsome, just an ordinary person, but when he smiled and his eyes narrowed slightly, he always exuded a sense of approachability... a unique temperament. Just like... Xia Yan. But not quite the same gentleness that Xia Yan seemed to deliberately force. Once again, Xia Yan's image inadvertently flashed through her mind, causing the girl to calmly initiate a minor brain memory reformatting. "If you like making yourself so tired, then just go to the hospital. No matter how much you pretend, you can't change your inherently cowardly nature." Xia Yan's actions of seeking out "Gu Xin Hua" first and then "Hua Xin" still bothered her. "Let's see who can pay Xia Yan's medical bills next time?!" Hua Xin thought through gritted teeth. "Alright..." Hearing that the two cats she wanted to favor were already entertaining guests, Xia Fen lowered her head in disappointment. She then took the "Concubine Selection Book" handed to her by the man and carefully selected the best employees she wanted to spend a pleasant afternoon with. The booklet was filled with photos of various cats, along with their names and brief descriptions. "These are it! Let me see if Spring Breeze and Jingling are moist enough... Hehehe..." Xia Fen said cheerfully, pointing to the two plush toys. "And this beautiful lady?" The man noted down the cat Xia Fen wanted, then turned and smiled as he asked Hua Xin. "Sister Xin Hua, let's take a good liking to whichever one we want and really mess with them..." "Beautiful lady, please treat our employees normally, otherwise we'll call the police and have you arrested for a free lunch~" The man squinted and pointed to the "110" dialing number page that had already appeared on his phone, still wearing a friendly smile. Xia Fen: "I was just kidding, sorry, I won't do it again (now behaving himself)." "Yeah, just kidding." "Two Tiramisu original and Cappuccino, right? How long are you planning to play?" "Um... it's one o'clock now... until about five o'clock, about four or five hours?" "Okay, it's two hundred and thirty yuan in total, the discount is fifty yuan per person, the second person twenty-five..." "?" The girl's heart trembled when she heard this number. No... Duo Shao? Two hundred and thirty?? Although she had mentally prepared herself, how could it be so expensive! Can I just return the food and pet the cat... Hua Xin kept crying in her heart, but on the surface she still maintained a calm appearance. Even if she was heartbroken. Now she had to maintain the image of a beautiful girl. (Even a prison flower has an image to maintain.) "Go find the pretty lady inside to cuddle a cat. She's wearing the same clothes as me." "There's a Switch and board games, comics and books inside. You can stay a little longer if you want. It's not a holiday yet, so there aren't many people in the store. If the cat gets sleepy, you can cuddle it and sleep, or put it in its cat bed and catch a lazy employee..." The man patiently explained, and Xia Fen readily took out her phone to pay. "It actually made Xiao Fen normal again..." Hua Xin thought with some surprise, then browsed the booklet in her hand. "Ragdoll, Blue and White British Shorthair, tabby, Big Orange Cat, and one... Maine Coon?" The girl's gaze stopped on the handsome Maine Coon. Next to it was its name, called... "Moya?" No... such a handsome, majestic, and cool-looking Maine Coon with such a feminine and gentle name? Hua Xin closed the booklet and calmly said to the man, "I want Moya." "Okay." "However, Moya is a bit aloof and might not like being petted for too long, so she might jump away halfway through... Is that acceptable to you?" the man said with a hint of apology. The girl shook her head, neatly placed the booklet on the counter, and softly replied, "Yes, that's fine." Then, she hesitated for a moment, but asked, "It looks so cold... why is it called Moya?" The man chuckled, "That's the name my wife gave it, isn't it nice?" "Okay..." "Hey, Sister Xin Hua, let's go to the... uh, I mean, the cat cafe!" Before she could finish speaking, Xia Fen pulled Hua Xin inside. Several cats were wagging their tails on the cat tree. Hua Xin's eyes flickered as she looked at the fluffy Ragdoll and the Blue and White British Shorthair. It felt as if an invisible hand had already petted them all. Just as the girl was about to take another step, she felt something rubbing against her shoes. An orange cat lay motionless on the ground, its soft belly exposed... She was wearing the same little leather shoes she'd worn before, only twice in total! She'd smelled them before leaving, and they weren't smelly or sour at all! It definitely wasn't me! Don't try to scam me???! (I have nothing to feed you.) Hua Xin steeled herself, squatted down, rubbed her belly, and walked towards the cat's bed. "Sister! We want the Spring Breeze Fairy Moya!" Xia Fen said to the older sister with her hair in a bun, who was crouching down and Hachimi. "Ah..." "Welcome, welcome! I'll catch them right away. Just find a place to sit." "Okay!" the older sister said energetically, then put down her comb, stood up, and prepared to go and catch the employees to sell themselves. But just as Hua Xin was about to follow Xia Fen to the corner to wait, an unintentional glance and a brush past her brought back a flood of memories. The woman with her hair up looked at her with surprise and said happily, "It's you, Xiaohua!!" That night was the first time she went out without a mask and hood. An unusually enthusiastic golden retriever appeared in her mind. Isn't this the owner of the Landmine?! "Li... Sister Li Xue???" 112. Dead memories always attack Hua Xin 4k5 "So cute...?" Hua Xin's eyes were full of happiness. Holding a gray-black Maine Coon in her arms, the fluffy feel of its long fur and Moya's obedient personality made the girl very relaxed. The gentle man's words just now resurfaced in her mind, making the girl feel a little proud. Hmph... Who says that a majestic and aloof person can't be affectionate? The girl seemed to have a natural ability to make small animals feel close to her, whether it was the Sang Biao Chun Qiu she met at school or the aloof Moya now. They all had to obediently lie down and let her pet them! "Meow..." Moya adjusted to a more comfortable position in Hua Xin, then let out a soft, affectionate Hachimi. (So cute! So...
