The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 114: The Reason Behind It

"The wardrobe just moved because of the change in air pressure when the window closed."

Xu Ying patiently comforted Xiao Nuan, explaining to her that it was a physical phenomenon: "Your wardrobe door wasn’t properly closed, so the air pressure moved it, which is why it made a sound just now."

Her tone was calm and measured, and Xiao Nuan’s emotions stabilized under Xu Ying’s soothing explanation.

Xiao Nuan patted Juzi’s head, her eyes filled with affection and fondness: "Juzi has a great personality, a really kind cat. When I went to the cattery, two cats were fighting, and Juzi was in the middle trying to mediate. I immediately took a liking to it, feeling that this little guy’s character was interesting. Little Xu Station Chief, if you have any questions, just ask it directly~"

Hearing Xiao Nuan’s words, Xu Ying couldn’t help but smile; this big darling was like the community’s conflict resolution manager.

"Juzi, Juzi."

"What do you like to eat?"

Xu Ying called out the name of the chubby orange cat, trying to find a topic to communicate with the plump kitty.

But Juzi ignored her, turning its back to her, lazily licking its fur while nestled next to Xiao Nuan.

At the time, Juzi stretched one leg upwards, with its head and back curled up licking its fur, its back view resembling a big chicken drumstick.

Juzi’s aloof back made Xu Ying feel at a loss.

Activating the Beast Language Skill increased her affinity, and usually in such situations, small animals would notice her and become curious about her.

But why did it feel like Juzi was avoiding her?

Xu Ying rubbed her chin, her brows knitting slightly.

A series of questions popped up in her mind.

Although Juzi was plump, its fur was glossy and smooth, its demeanor relaxed and comfortable, clearly well cared for and living a comfortable life.

However, from her conversation with Xiao Nuan just now, Xiao Nuan had been raising the cat for over half a year but still acted like a "new mom," feeding Juzi only 10 pellets of cat food daily since it was a kitten, and she was too busy with work to groom Juzi’s fur or trim its nails finely...

Xu Ying’s frown deepened.

Meanwhile, viewers in the livestream were shocked to see Xu Ying hit a snag when it came to this particular animal.

To them, Little Xu Station Chief was known as the "animal charmer," who could orchestrate rodent control operations across various species, yet she couldn’t handle one big orange cat?

[It’s the first time seeing an animal ignore the Station Chief!]

[Chubby Orange, do you know who you’re ignoring?]

[Chubby Orange refuses police investigation and leaves you with a back view to ponder on.]

[Haha, I feel this chubby orange is quite smart, knowing not to engage with Little Xu Station Chief, otherwise once the reason for its obesity is discovered, it’ll have to go on a diet.]

In the control room, colleagues focused on Xu Ying, their faces showing worry.

Could it be that even Little Xu Station Chief couldn’t solve the challenge presented by the livestream viewer?

What should they do?

Seeing Juzi avoiding her, Xu Ying chose not to insist. She carefully observed Xiao Nuan’s room, then asked her: "Haven’t you sealed your windows?"

Xiao Nuan shook her head: "I live on the ground floor, so I didn’t seal the windows. Plus, I check every day to make sure the doors and windows are shut, so Juzi can’t sneak out."

Thanks to enhancing her Beast Language Skill, Xu Ying’s sharper attention to detail and ability to interpret animal body language let her notice that when she mentioned "sealing windows," Juzi’s stance noticeably stiffened.

While Juzi appeared aloof, its ears perked up quietly, likely curious about what else Xu Ying would say regarding doors and windows.

Xu Ying deduced that this orange cat definitely slipped out through the door or windows, potentially at night.

Then who was feeding it?

If Juzi avoided conversation, Xu Ying would have to use a little trick to get it to open up.

Xu Ying’s dark shiny eyes darted about, and she cleared her throat: "Looks like it’s time to move house!"

In the control room, colleagues exchanged puzzled glances.

Xiao Nuan was also taken aback, as earlier, when the viewers suggested moving house, Xu Ying had dissuaded her. Why did she suddenly agree now?

Xu Ying gave a knowing look to the confused Xiao Nuan.

Receiving the hint, Xiao Nuan glanced at Juzi, who was ignoring Little Xu Station Chief. Did Xu Ying come up with a plan?

Xu Ying clapped her hands and concluded: "Juzi started gaining weight after you moved, so let’s tackle it from the root and change your address."

"Xiao Nuan, you live in Lin City, right?"

Xiao Nuan nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

"I have a friend in Lin City who needs to sublet her place due to a job transfer."

Xu Ying spoke earnestly: "Because she’s rushing to get the place rented, the price is very favorable. The next half month’s rent is already paid, so you and Juzi can live there for free!"

"Plus, she also has cats, and there’s plenty of cat supplies she can’t take with her."

"Although the wardrobe movement can be explained with physics, the mystery of Juzi’s weight gain remains unsolved. You’re uneasy living like this, and it’s not good for Juzi’s health."

"Move, move by tomorrow—no, this afternoon!"

As Xu Ying spoke, she casually observed Juzi’s reaction, noticing that after she urged the move, Juzi became distracted from its grooming routine.

She immediately encouraged: "Xiao Nuan, start packing your luggage; first, choose some essentials to bring over."

Though Xiao Nuan was puzzled, she followed Xu Ying’s lead: "So soon? Well, I’ll contact a moving company right away."

Xio Nuan fetched a suitcase and started packing her room.

Seeing this, Juzi abandoned its act, hastily hopping up.

It shuffled its plump body and "thud" jumped onto Xiao Nuan’s suitcase.

At that moment, the suitcase bore too much, letting out a loud "thud" like a small explosive charge.

Using its chunky body, Juzi rolled on the suitcase, preventing Xiao Nuan from packing.

Juzi rolled over, urgently meowing.

[Don’t move! Don’t move!]

[If we leave, no one will keep her company!]

[She’ll be all alone here, how pitiful.]

Juzi’s words startled even the atheist Xu Ying: "Juzi, who is this ’her’? Is it the person feeding you?"

"Where is she?"

Xu Ying spoke seriously: "If we don’t figure out the reason for your weight gain today, you’re still moving."

Juzi wore a conflicted expression, then used its drumstick-like stout paw to point behind Xiao Nuan.
