“Ma’am, you are not mistaken. It is a local cat.” The shopkeeper smiled and said, “It’s a young girl who sold it. The girl was obedient and filial, so 1 agreed to her request.”
The ck cat had no unkempt fur on its entire body. It was dark and its shiny bronze-colored eyes were especially lively.
The shop owner thought that Lin Gan tang was interested in the ck cat, so he stepped forward and introduced it. “The ck cat is eleven months old. It has a calm personality and is very patient.”
“Then why did the girl sell it?”
“Her family’s situation is special. Her grandmother was sick, and all the kittens at home have been sold for money. The girl liked this ck cat very much. Her father wanted to secretly buy it from here, but she was too sensible. She didn’t let him and asked me to find a new owner for ckie.” The shop assistant said, “ckie is the name given by the little girl.”
Lin Gantang was moved. “It must be hard for her to bear. The girl is so sensible that it’s heartbreaking.”
“Yeah, her parents are disabled. When 1 was doing volunteer work, I went to her house. It’s not easy; the house was old and dpidated.” The shopkeeper said, “Everyone likes kittens. They’re cute. ckie had grown up, and the ck color is not stunning, so it hasn’t been sold.”
Lin Gantang asked the shopkeeper to bring the ck cat out.
She went to get a cat toy. ckie stared at the toy with its round eyes, but she did not give it to ckie. It squatted down and waited patiently.
“The ck cat wards off evil and brings fortune. 1’11 take it with me. It can guard my house.” Lin Gantang touched its ck ws.
The ck cat raised its paw to press down on her hand. Lin Gantang did the same, and it pressed down once more.
Lin Gantang could not help butugh.
“That’s great.” The shop owner was delighted.
Lin Gantang asked her for a piece of paper and wrote down the address of the bookstore. “If you see the girl, please tell her toe here to see ckie if she misses it.”
Lin Gantang took the ck cat for a vination and a check-up. After that, she put it in istion for a period of time to prevent the old and new cats from fighting.
Among the four cats, Ximi was the oldest and had a good temper. When the ck cat was brought back, it curiously went up to sniff its newpanion and did not show any signs of rejection.
ckie dodged, still not used to the new environment.
When Wen Yanqing came over, he realized that the shop was more popr than before. Lin Gantang was busy behind the bookshelf in her work apron.
Qian Ruoxi lowered her head to sort out the records. Wen Yanqing stepped forward and knocked on the table.
“Mr. Wen?” Qian Ruoxi raised her head.
“The man who gave your boss somethingst time, has he beening to the bookstore recently?” Wen Yanqing’s tone was calm.
“No.” Qian Ruoxi recalled and said, “He hasn’t been here since thest time he asked me to deliver the congrattory gift.”
Wen Yanqing nodded.
He walked over to Lin Gantang, his tall body blocking Lin Gantang’s light.
Lin Gantang turned around and was pleasantly surprised. “It’s working hours. Why are you here?”
Wen Yanqing smiled warmly, revealing his dimples. “I was passing by. 1 came in to give you this.”
He was holding crystal clear candied haws in his hand. Each hawthorn was round and red, wrapped in ayer of shiny sugar coating, red and tempting.
Lin Gantang was overjoyed.
She tore the thin film off the candied fruit and took a bite. The candied haw at the top was a little loose, so she bit the entire thing off.
Lin Gantang was stunned and reached out to take it.
Wen Yanqing could not help an butugh. He grabbed her wrist and lowered his head to kiss her lips, biting off half of the candied hawthorn in her mouth.
Lin Gantang’s fair and rosy face was even more delicate than the color of candied haws.
“I’ll leave first. 1 still have something on.” Wen Yanqing touched her lips affectionately and said softly.
Lin Gantang licked her lips.
Candid haws warmed her heart..
