The living room was silent.
The tabby cat sprawled lazily on the arm of the sofa, its tail hanging off the side, swaying leisurely as it enjoyed the afternoon.
"Meow?"
The little tabby suddenly twitched its nose, catching a whiff of the scent of meat.
It got up and followed the fragrance to the kitchen doorway, peering curiously at the figure in front of the counter.
On the induction cooker, a small clay pot was emitting steam, the lid making a gentle noise.
The girl lifted the lid of the pot and skimmed the froth from the surface of the soup with a spoon.
"Meow~" The tabby cat approached.
It wasn't clear whether it had grown familiar with the girl or if it found her gentle enough.
The little tabby even began to climb up her long legs.
"Hmm?" Jiang Ruyi looked down to see the little troublemaker at her side.
She smiled but paid no mind to the little tabby and continued carefully skimming the froth.
