As evening descended on the Yu Alley residential community,
Lu Ran once again opened the door to his home after four days.
What greeted him was a curious little tabby cat.
"Meow?" The tabby cat tilted its little head as if confirming the identity of the newcomer.
Lu Ran, who ventured out each month for training, normally didn't return for at least 20 days; this time, his return was indeed early.
Of course, with the cat's limited intelligence, it didn't think too deeply about such things.
All it felt was that Lu Ran didn't carry an aura of malevolence, unlike the frightening presence he had after previous trips.
"Good evening," said Lu Ran, smiling wearily as he waved his hand.
As usual, he walked around the tabby cat and headed straight for the bathroom.
What he didn't expect was for the little tabby to follow him?
As Lu Ran showered under the spray, he looked through the slightly ajar bathroom door at the little creature peeking in curiously.
