Zhen Tan followed the Buddha out. The Western Quarters was near the west campus gate, where people often came and went. Thankfully, the Buddha didn't leave campus but turned the other direction onto a small trail heading to the heart of campus.
The Buddha was famous on campus and attracted a lot of attention. Zheng Tan heard students asking each other if he was the Buddha's cat and why she was walking with him.
If they took another road on the other side of the western quarters, they could avoid the unwanted attention. It was a much less used road.
Zheng Tan didn't know what the Buddha was thinking.
Was she trying to tell everyone that this cat had her support?
Zheng Tan tried to figure out her thoughts while following her.
