Zheng Tan stayed at Xiao Zhuo's until after dinner before leaving, and Xiao Zhuo saw him off from the West District courtyard, watching him as he walked away.
After leaving the West District courtyard, Zheng Tan did not immediately go back but instead headed towards the side gate's woods.
He knew that the woods along the edge of the campus were under construction and that few students walked in that direction, even fewer at night.
Zheng Tan leaped and darted through the woods until he reached a large tree and crouched on it.
He took a deep breath.
"Awooo—"
That didn't seem right.
"Wahwoo—"
That still didn't seem right.
Zheng Tan carefully recalled the meow of the big white cat and roared again.
"Woowoo—"
Still not right!
