Meow...
A faint meow sounded in the back courtyard of the manor.
Chen Lun looked towards the sound and saw a small white kitten hiding under a tree, calling out. It seemed somewhat malnourished, shivering.
Chen Lun walked over and gently picked it up.
Looking into the kitten's amber-colored eyes, he felt a hint of longing and pleading. From its weak cries, he gathered some intermittent, fragmented information.
This was a stray cat's kitten, struggling to survive the hardships of life, abandoned by its mother. Starving and cold, it had sneaked through a gap in the manor's fence and, upon seeing Chen Lun, inexplicably took a great liking to this human, wanting to stay close to him and depend on him.
"Lucky you, I was just about to go grab something to eat,"
Chen Lun stuffed it into his pocket and turned to leave.
Afternoon.
After finishing teaching Rebecca, Chen Lun burrowed into the villa's study to continue his "treasure hunt."
