Chapter 195
Shi Wen hasn't petted any cats other than Cong Zai in a long time; White Tiger and Xiaoxuebao don't count.
He fiddled with it for a while, then took out his phone, snapped a few photos, and posted them on his WeChat Moments.
As soon as the photo was posted, it immediately received likes and comments.
Ge Yue: [Brother Shi, you're petting other cats!]
Shi Wen replied with a smile: [So what if I touched her?]
Ge Yue: [Give me hush money, or I'll tell Cong Zai you petted another cat next time I go over.]
Gong Jiang: [If I pet another cat, Cong Zai will smell it, right?]
Shi Wen replied to Gong Jiang: [It's okay, I'll take a shower when I get home, then it won't be able to smell it anymore.]
Zhu Ji commented on the post on his WeChat Moments: "[You're only bullying Cong Zai because he can't read, otherwise he would definitely scratch you.]"
Shi Wen was about to reply to Zhu Ji's comment, she suddenly saw Xi Long's comment. "[The cat you photographed is quite unusual; it looks like a desert cat.]"
Desert cat?
Shi Wen's fingers froze. Could it be? The desert cat is a Class I protected animal in China, a species endemic to the country, found only in China.
Has his lucky streak kicked in again?
Chapter 195
Shi Wen at the kittens under my feet.
The kitten had finished eating and was no longer paying attention to anyone. It was lying on its side nearby, contentedly licking its paws.
Shi Wen was searching for information online while petting the kitten in her hands.
The kitten under his care is truly a desert cat; he could never mistake its distinctive fluffy tail.
He reached out and touched it again, but the kitten didn't move at all.
It seems to be Good Temper little guy.
While he was still petting the cat, Zhou Hongzhong's urgent phone call came through, "Shi Wen— "
Shi Wen, "It's me."
Zhou Hongzhong: "You found a desert cat over there, right? Was it male or female? Is it still with you?"
Shi Wen glanced at the desert cat's rear end, where those two formidable testicles hung.
Shi Wen, "It's a male cat, and it's still with me."
Zhou Hongzhong: "Then please keep things stable for a bit, we'll be right there."
Upon Shi Wen the agreement, Zhou Hongzhong excitedly hung up the phone.
Just a second before he hung up the phone, Shi Wen heard him yell at his men to hurry up and drive; his voice sounded both anxious and excited.
Shi Wen people sitting on the grass playing on their phones, while a desert cat licks its paws and sunbathes nearby, eventually starting to purr softly.
He turned his head and saw that the desert cat had fallen asleep at some point, its little belly bulging, and the two tufts of black fur on the tips of its ears were trembling gently.
It's a miracle that a wild animal trusts humans so much.
Shi Wen placed his hand on its thigh and patted it. The desert cat's ears twitched slightly, and then it continued to sleep.
Zhou Hongzhong and his group drove over, but before they arrived at their destination, they quickly slowed down to avoid disturbing the desert cat.
However, the desert cat was still startled awake, and it jumped up from its lying position to run away.
Shi Wen lightning speed, Shi Wen grabbed the scruff of its neck with one hand and supported its chest with the other, pulling it close to his chest.
After holding it steady, Shi Wen gently stroked it reassuringly and whispered, "Don't run away, we're just taking you to get checked out, you'll be fine."
Desert Cat: "Meow!"
Shi Wen it being gently pressed with a force that won't harm it but allows for steady control.
After a while, the desert cat calmed down a bit.
Zhou Hongzhong and the others quickly brought over an iron cage and carefully placed the desert cat inside. "Little darling, don't worry, we'll take you back for a check-up, and then we'll send you away soon."
Shi Wen cooperated with their actions, and after they had packed up the desert cat, Shi Wen said, "Captain Zhou, when are you going to send the desert cat out? Let me know when you're leaving."
Zhou Hongzhong: "No problem, I'll let you know later."
After Zhou Hongzhong and the others drove away, Shi Wen walked into the ranch.
Before he could even get back to the main courtyard, he saw Cong Zai squatting at the main gate, watching him from afar.
I felt guilty as soon as Shi Wen it.
He glanced around; there was no one else on the ranch, so there was no possibility that anyone else had complained to Cong Zai.
So how did Cong Zai discover that he was petting other cats?
Shi Wen had no doubt that Cong Zai had already discovered that he was petting other cats.
Cong Zai usually had no interest in waiting for him outside the door, but now he was squatting there steadily. If you asked him why, he himself wouldn't believe it.
"Cong Zai." Shi Wen waved and greeted Cong Zai from afar, "What are you doing here? Waiting for me to go home?"
"Meow!" Cong Zai called out and came forward to Shi Wen.
It walked to Shi Wen's feet and tried to rub its head against Shi Wen's leg, but the next moment it froze completely, its whiskers twitching as if it had smelled another cat. "Meow?"
Shi Wen lower its head and make eye contact with it.
The cat was completely stunned, a look of shock on its face.
Shi Wen squatted down and cupped its entire head in his hands. "Really? It's really angry?"
Cong Zai looked at Shiwen Shi Wen.
When Cong Zai barked, his ears were pressed into an airplane shape, which looked very unpleasant.
It patted Shi Wen's leg with its paw pads, quite forcefully, looking very annoyed.
However, no matter how hard a cat hits, it won't hurt if it only uses its paw pads.
Shi Wen patted its head and said, "I just met a desert cat and had a brief encounter with it. You see, I didn't even bring it home. You're our only cat."
Cong Zai: "Meow!"
Cong Zai is angry, and quite obviously so.
Yan Kexing noticed this as soon as he returned in the evening and specifically asked Shi Wen, "What's wrong with Cong Zai? Is it because of the desert cat?"
Shi Wen, "Yes, it was blocking my way on the threshold of the front door. I got cornered by it."
Yan Kexing's eyes crinkled with amusement. "Who gave you permission to touch that desert cat?"
