Lu Ping'an saw Meow in the corridor outside his room at his "home" at the steam factory.
Her head was hanging low, her face filled with despair and unease. Her two tails, weakened, touched the ground and already got dirty.
Compared to her former clean, energetic self, she was now dry but looked like a drenched chicken that had been caught in the rain.
Upon seeing Lu Ping'an, her eyes lit up, but in the next moment, they dimmed again. Her gaze drifted as if she dared not look at Lu Ping'an or learn the truth.
This annoyed Lu Ping'an a bit.
"Meow!"
The sudden tug on her cat ears caused her pain. She tearfully looked up, only to see a large hand.
She instinctively closed her eyes, only to have her head roughly rubbed, further messing up her already messy hair.
Then she was picked up, dragged into the room in three or two steps... Don't get the wrong idea, Lu Ping'an threw her straight into the bathroom, then tossed her a new towel and soap.
