The cat cage was not covered and offered no protection from the rain. The rain was so heavy that the Dragon Li cat was meowing miserably. On the other hand, the white cat sounded a little hoarse as it meowed tremblingly, which sounded pitiful and creepy at the same time.
Gu Yuwu grabbed Lin Xiaowan’s hand and ran to the car.
The person who ran the fastest was rhe cameraman. As soon as rhe rain fell, he instinctively protected the camera and ran away. After making sure the camera was safe, he returned with something to block the rain.
Gu Yuwu had come in these people1 s car. The car was parked near the entrance instead of the underground parking lot. She did not stop as she pulled Lin Xiaowan into the car.
Lin Xiaowan was panting from exhaustion after running. She gasped as she said, “There’s no need to run so fast…”
It took a long time before her heartbeat returned to normal.
The rain was so sudden and heavy that a few of them were drenched. There was nothing to dry themselves with in the car so Gu Yuwu handed a few sheets of tissue and said, “Use this first.”
Lin Xiaowan wiped her face, still exhausted. “Goodness! I’m going to die from running so hard!”
Gu Yuwu laughed mercilessly. “Your physical strength isn’t good enough. We only ran a short distance. 1 remember that after climbing the mountain, someone swore to exercise!”
Lin Xiaowan felt guilty when she heard these words. She had long forgotten about her exercise plan. She only persisted for a few days before she gave up. On the first day; she felt like her plan was so strict and decided to make changes to her plan. However, after that, she did not go through with her plan. She felt ashamed when she thought about this.
At this time, Lin Xiaowan’s phone rang. It was not affected by the rain at all. Although her expensive bag was not waterproof, it had two layers of protection. Unsurprisingly, the call was from Huo Zheng.
Seeing that it was raining, Huo Zheng called to ask if Lin Xiaowan had gone home. He knew she was going to the art exhibition today.
“Are you still out?”
“Yes. 1 ran into Sister Yuwu after the exhibition. A few people were rescuing strays so 1 stayed behind to watch.”
Currently, Lin Xiaowan no longer felt awkward about addressing Gu Yuwu as Sister Yuwu’.
After listening to Lin Xiaowan, Huo Zheng looked outside the window. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, making it dark. Although it was only 4 PM, it looked as though it was already 7 or 8 PM.
After a moment, Huo Zheng asked, slightly worried, “Are you drenched?”
He knew she would definitely catch a cold if she ran around in wet clothes.
Lin Xiaowan knew that he was going to lecture her so she said vaguely, “I’m in the car with Sister Yuwu.”
It was true that she was in the car, but she did not say if she was in the car before or after it rained.
Huo Zheng looked at the time again before he said, “1 11 tell the cook to boil some ginger soup for you. Remember to change your clothes if it’s wet.”
Lin Xiaowan could hear the disapproval in his voice, but she did not complain. Instead, she said, “Alright. I’ll do it later. There are quite a few people in the car.”
Huo Zheng asked where she was going, but she did not know either. She asked Gu Yuwu before she gave Huo Zheng the address of the Animal Rescue Association.
“Someone will send you clothes there.”
“Bring a set for Sister Yuwu too!”
“Alright,” Huo Zheng said helplessly.
When Lin Xiaowan ended the call, a rescuer returned with the kittens. Her attention was immediately diverted, and she leaned over to have a look.
There were four thin and weak kittens. Although they were wrapped in a blanket, they were still wet from the rain, causing their fur to stick to their bodies. They huddled together and cried intermittently. Who knew if they were cold or frightened, but they were trembling violently? All in all, they looked extremely pitiful.
“Uh! They’re not pure white!” Lin Xiaowan exclaimed.
One of them even looked like a little black mouse.
The kittens were very young. Xo one could tell now if there was anything wrong with them. They were quickly placed with their mother.
Perhaps the white cat was tired or perhaps it no longer sensed danger, but it had stopped howling.
The Animal Rescue Association was different from what Lin Xiaowan had imagined. It was quite near the art gallery, and it occupied a large area. A cute signboard that read The Loving Home of Pets’ hung at the door.
At this time, it was no longer as dark as before. The rain was also much lighter even if it was windy. However, the temperature had dropped a lot.
There was no umbrella in the car so the driver drove to the entrance directly so they could run into the building.
A gray Mulsanne with both indicators flashing was parked near the entrance as well.
At this time, one of the rescuers who was about to open the door noticed the other car. “Hmm? Why do we have visitors at this time? Did we have an appointment with someone who wants to adopt a stray?”
Lin Xiaowan, who was looking at the kittens, turned around as soon as she heard these words. She saw the license plate and confirmed that it was Huo Zheng’s car.
When Gu Yuwu saw the car, she commented, “Wow, your boyfriend is really fast!”
Lin Xiaowan did not recognize the person who got out of Huo Zheng’s car with a black umbrella, but the other party seemed to know her. He greeted her first before he handed her a paper bag. He said that there was a thermos of ginger soup that Huo Zheng had instructed him to buy when he was on the way here.
The thermos was huge, and there was enough for the soup to go around. Everyone had a small bowl each, but there was still some left in the end.
The kittens were given a quick basic examination. Apart from being slightly malnourished and having ear mites, they were healthy. After drying up and drinking their fill, they closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, rhe female cat was quiet during the journey here, but as soon as she entered the door and was taken care of, it turned aggressive immediately. It was rather heartless and scratched the vet when the vet was examining it.
Lin Xiaowan crouched down and looked at the kittens. They were very fluffy after they were dried. She stroked them gently and thought about raising a cat.
The kittens were almost three months old, but they looked small due to a lack of nutrition. Their bones were quite prominent.
Only the Dragon Li cat and the kittens were placed in the cattery. The white cat was placed in the observation room alone not only because of its aggressive behavior but also because it was showing symptoms of a fungal infection..
