Evening.
Chuhua University East Residential Area.
Mr. Jiao stood at the doorstep, rubbed his face with his hand to hide the fatigue, and took out his keys to unlock the front door.
The sofa in the living room was still empty, no longer occupied by a black cat sprawled across it, contentedly watching TV.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the doors of the two children's rooms opened almost simultaneously, but seeing the expression on Mr. Jiao's face, their eyes dimmed again.
It had already been a week, and still there was no news.
The illegal cat and dog trafficking dens that had been busted in Chuhua City held no news they were hoping for.
Snap!
The two children's room doors closed again, and they went back to doing their homework.
When they first learned that their family cat was lost, both children had swollen eyes from crying, and even after a week had passed, their eyes were still red, their mood remaining downcast.
