Er Mao was still talking about that cat when they got back on campus. He had given it food and made it a sign, but he showed no signs of wanting to adopt it.
Zheng Tan recalled the first time they met. He knew Er Mao didn't dislike cats, but he also didn't particularly like them. He was different than Long Qi though.
Oh well. He'd have to leave it to fate. He wanted the cat to be adopted but knew it couldn't be forced.
Zheng Tan remembered a cat he met near the pet center. He sometimes went there when he was free. He once met an old man who had lost a leg. He was chatting with other people visiting the pet center. He said that it was important to pick pets to which you felt a connection. He wouldn't raise a pet he didn't feel close to no matter how precious the breed. His cat had lost a leg in a car accident. He had taken great care of it, and it was clear they had a good relationship.
