Not until the next morning, when it was light, did the cats stop their cries, and her ears finally found peace.
She really did not sleep at all that night, and now she had a splitting headache and felt like she was on the brink of a mental breakdown.
After calming her emotions for quite a while, Chen Zhi mustered the courage and with a fearless spirit, charged into the bathroom, flung open the door, and shouted at the two kittens.
"Out, all of you out!"
It wasn't that she wanted to scare the small animals; in reality, she was bolstering her own courage. If her voice wasn't loud enough, she wouldn't dare face them.
"Meow—"
"What are you meowing for! All of you, out!" Chen Zhi glared at them fiercely.
The two kittens shrank back hesitantly and then cautiously walked out of the bathroom. Chen Zhi quickly stepped aside, and only after they were out did she dash into the bathroom and close the door.
