“I’m so bored!” Snowy rolled around on the bed again. She had already rolled on the bed multiple times after she ate her breakfast; her mother had accurately described her movements as looking like a creeping cabbage worm.
Snowball laid on one side with its eyes narrowed. It yawned and did not feel bored––or it could be said that it went straight to sleep when it felt bored.
Snowy was not like a cat. She could not sleep more than ten hours a day; she had too much energy. She was trying to come up with a reason to go out and play.
Spending a good spring day at home was practically wasting one’s life! But where should she go to play?
At first, she had become an outdoor network anchor at the spur of the moment, but then it gradually became her greatest interest and hobby. At first, she never thought that one day she would encounter the dilemma of not knowing where to do a live broadcast…… There are so many interesting places in Binhai City, so how could there be nowhere to go?
But in fact, with her growing interest in live broadcasting and the rising standards of the platform, she was no longer satisfied with going to a slightly distinctive store to broadcast live. She felt sorry for the audience, so she did not want to just be perfunctory with them.
She refreshed her Weibo and the background of her public account with her mobile phone. Fans had made a lot of suggestions, but she had either been there before or they were too specialized for a certain audience. For example, someone suggested for her go to a reptile shop to broadcast live. Although she was not timid, she was not fond of reptiles.
“Nevermind. Let’s just walk around the neighborhood,” she said to herself. “Snowball, let’s go together!”
Snowball opened its eyes to look at her, then closed its eyes and put its head on her pillow and pretended to be asleep. It was not interested in going out.
“Let’s go!” Snowy did not allow for objections. She grabbed Snowball in her arms, walked out, and muttered, “How heavy! You see, you are so fat, and you still want to stay at home? If you do not lose weight in May, it will be a problem. June is a sad month; July is a thunderstorm; and by August you will be even fatter! Do you understand?”
Snowball shook its head and tail innocently. It did not want to leave the comfortable and soft bed and it struggled to jump down. As for its weight, it just wanted Snowy to give up!
Although Persian cats always looked fat because of their long hair, Snowball was really fat––mainly because it ate too well and moved too little. It rained for several days the other day, and she stayed at home with Snowball. While she was forced to stay home, Snowball actively wanted it. It was just like the poem of land travel: “The creek firewood fire is soft and warm, and I and the cat slave do not go out.”
It was just that, in this time period, it was hard to say who was the servant. It could be that in Snowball’s heart, it was pondering, “The creek firewood fire is soft and warm, and I and the human slave do not go out……”
“Where are you going to go?” As soon as her mother, who was baking a cake, saw her carrying Snowball downstairs, her face became long.
“I’m not going anywhere! I’m just going to stroll around the neighborhood! I can’t constantly stay at home. I’m so annoyed I could die!” Snowy complained, full of grievances.
Her mother took a look at her husband, Jiang Tianda. He was flipping through the newspapers and abstracts without making a statement or changing his expression. It was possible that he was quietly agreeing with her.
“Well, just wander around the neighborhood and come back to eat cake. Don’t run outside! Don’t run into the mud pit with Snowball then come back and trample all over the ground with mud marks……” her mother stressed.
“All right, all right! I’ve just finished breakfast. How am I supposed to eat cake……?” Snowy impatiently asked.
At that time, the greatest advantage of the weather was that one could wear whatever they wore at home without adding or removing clothes. Anyway, she was not going out to a faraway place. One could wear whatever they wanted to wear anyway! It was just like those weird fish in the deep sea––no one saw them, so they could grow however they wanted.
In fact, she did not know much about the fish in the ocean. Since she saw Zhang Zian’s aquarium, she had gained some interest in it. When she was free, she searched for relevant information. The ugliness and ferocity of deep-sea fish made her speechless. Fortunately, she had no chance to meet the deep-sea fish on land. They were used to the huge water pressure and would die whenever they came ashore.
Leaving the magnificently decorated, but too quiet, villa, she relaxed a lot. She put down Snowball and let it walk by herself, while she moved her sore arm, hummed an unknown tune, and walked at a very slow speed. Her mother told her to walk around and then go right back…… Wouldn’t it have been a loss if she walked too fast?
The villa area was also quiet, and few people were walking about. Branches and lawns were washed by the rain, and there were still some raindrops on the leaves of grass. The air was very fresh. The artificial lake was supplemented by rainwater and the water levels rose. The breeze blew and the waves sparkled. Occasionally, one or two big fish jumped out of the water.
Although the environment was very elegant, it was boring to look at it too much.
She walked for a while, and suddenly there came a few long, wolf-like calls ahead.
Of course, the neighborhood did not have wolves, and the only one that would call out like that was the Uncle Jin’s husky, Good-For-Nothing.
The Husky, who always did dumb things, was howling so proudly. It normally only barked in short spurts and whined when it was scolded by Uncle Jin, who regretted that it did not live up to his expectations. It would also whine when it was chased by Snowball. What kind of wind was blowing today? The farmers had overthrown the leaders and were going to be the new leaders?
As soon as Snowball, who had been lacking in energy, heard Good-For-Nothing’s call, it instantly became alert. Without needing Snowy to give it orders, it started to move its little legs and run towards the direction the call came from.
“Well, go and play with Uncle Jin and Good-For-Nothing for a while,” Snowy said with a laugh. “Uncle Jin is fishing again? Aiya! No way! Mother won’t let you run into the mud pit by the lake…… Forget it. ”
She changed her viewpoint. It was one of the rare times that Snowball left the house, and if it was willing to step into a mud pit, then let it.
“Eh? Snowy, where are you running to?” To her surprise, Snowball did not run to the lakeside of the artificial lake. Uncle Jin usually fished by the lake, and where he could be found, Good-For-Nothing could also be found.
Snowball stopped, then turned its head back to look at her. It continued to run towards the entrance of the villa area.
If Snowball did not run in the wrong direction, then Uncle Jin and Good-For-Nothing were not fishing by the lakeside…… What were they doing at the entrance of the villa area? Could it be…… they were waiting for someone? Otherwise, there was no other explanation.
But who was Uncle Jin waiting for? A business partner?
That was not very possible. Uncle Jin was kind of a lazy person. He had never received a business partner in the villa area before. They were probably some evil associates.
“Run a bit slower, Snowball. Don’t run too fast!” Snowy did not want to go home too fast, so she hurriedly called for Snowball to slow down.
Another howl, similar to the howl of a wolf, came. This time, it was even clearer, and it was indeed from the direction of the entrance of the villa area.
Snowball did not listen to Snowy’s orders. It ran quickly.
How could they tolerate how arrogant they were, even though they were just defeated the day before? It had to be known whether the villa’s surname was a cat or a dog.
