meow if you are happy

Chapter 24 Holmes Hugh
Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiu's feelings for this new friend only lasted a few days, because she discovered a secret.

——The high school student secretly took Chi Yan’s money.

It was an evening. The high school student had finished his homework early, but had no intention of leaving. Instead, he stood in the room and opened other books.Xiao Xiu felt bored, thinking that Chi Yan was there anyway, so he ran to play in the street behind.

When she came back, she saw that the high school student was secretly taking money from the counter. He was standing there, covering his other hand with the book in his hand.

"You!" Xiao Xiu rushed over angrily, wanting to expose him face to face, but who knew, Chi Yan walked over.

"Are you back?" He reached out and held Xiao Xiu's hand, his tone was very calm, "Did you see anything exciting?"

During this gap, the high school student quickly retracted his hand and walked back to his original position.

Xiao Xiu persevered and wanted to expose him, "He..."

"Take a break." Chi Yan interrupted her, looked into her eyes and shook his head.

The high school student packed up his things in a hurry and left quickly without looking back.

"He took your money!" Xiao Xiu angrily shook off Chi Yan's hand, walked back to the counter, and began to count the scattered banknotes, "Ten, twenty..."

Chi Yan didn't know what he was thinking, and kept staring in the direction the high school student left.Until Xiao Xiu started counting the money on the counter again.

"Xiao Xiu, I don't have much cash, forget it." After a while, his eyes returned to Xiao Xiu.

Chi Yan said this, but Xiao Xiu still didn't stop counting the money. Finally, she put the pile of money she had sorted into Chi Yan's hand and said angrily: "There is less Zhang Baibai, and there are still some odd ones." Bits and pieces, I don’t remember much.”

"Was the bread you ate last time good?" Chi Yan put the money in his heart back into the drawer on the counter.

"Delicious, delicious!" As soon as Xiaoxiu heard the food, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Go, I'll buy you something delicious."

Delicious food and drink can only temporarily attract Xiao Xiu's attention. As soon as the high school student shows up the next day, Xiao Xiu remembers his stealing money again.

Xiao Xiu angrily wanted to ask questions several times, but was stopped by Chi Yan.

Later, when Xiao Xiu came home, he always looked at the high school student angrily and no longer treated him as warmly as before.

She was so obvious that the high school student himself noticed something was wrong. He touched his face guiltily and asked in a low voice: "Is there something on my face?"

"It's nothing. I accidentally broke her flowers today and she was in a bad mood." Chi Yan spoke at the right time.

Xiao Xiu was furious and wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, he could only give a cold "hum" and whisper "bad guy".

Later, Xiao Xiu no longer treated the high school student coldly, but began to follow him secretly.

"Chi Yan, Chi Yan, I've decided! I'm going to follow him and see where he spent Chi Yan's money!" Xiao Xiu's tracking plan was naturally opposed by Chi Yan. As soon as he got the little cash It was indeed not much, for him, and secondly, he was worried about Xiaoxiu's safety.

However, Xiao Xiu, who wanted to figure it out, didn't listen to Chi Yan at all.

——"Chi Yan, take a look inside the store, I'll go out!"

——"I'll go to the streets behind to see if there's anything interesting!"

——"I'm going to see if there are any stray cats in need of help. I'll be right back!"

She always found various excuses to run out. Chi Yan was quite worried at first, but later he saw that she always came back on time, so he naturally didn't care about her anymore.

Xiaoxiu's secret tracking soon yielded results. She saw with her own eyes the high school students and the "gangsters" outside the school walking together.

The reason Xiaoxiu knew those people were "gangsters" was thanks to Ah Fu.Yes, during Xiaoxiu, I met Afu again who came out to meddle in other people’s business.

Two stray cats on the street corner had a fight over territory. Ah Fu came to mediate and finally reached a consensus that everyone should love each other and keep each other warm.

Ah Fu didn't expect Xiao Xiu to be interested in those "gangsters", so he advised earnestly: "You should stay away from those people. They are not Chi Yan, and they will not have any empathy for people like us. When they are fierce, together with similar people It’s all hurt. It’s not a good thing!”

Xiao Xiu looked at the high school students who were following the gangsters farther and farther away, and he was worried: "Then the people walking with them must also be gangsters?"

Afu nodded: "Humans have an old saying, what is it called? Oh, yes, birds of a feather flock together. It means that people of the same kind will stay with the same kind of people."

So... isn't that high school student a good person?

Xiao Xiu always believed Ah Fu's words.But for some reason, she always felt that although high school students were bad, they were not that bad.

So, she ran back to the bookstore to ask for help from Chi Yan: "Chi Yan, Chi Yan~ I saw it!"

Although there were only two of them in the bookstore, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "High school students are hanging out with gangsters!"

After he finished speaking, he felt a little gloomy, "Chi Yan, I heard that gangsters are not good people. If they are fierce, they will hurt their own kind. Is he really that kind of person? Next time he comes, let's ask him if he is okay?"

Chi Yan put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf: "Take a break."

"Huh?" She put her hands to her face and looked at him.

"That's his business." After Chi Yan finished speaking, he turned on the computer to write the novel he wanted to write.

"But, you obviously cared about him before, right?" Xiao Xiu was a little confused. "Otherwise he secretly took your money, why didn't you let me expose it in person? And he is not someone else, although he is a bit Bad, but...are there any difficulties?"

"Take a break." Chi Yan raised his head and stared into the eyes of the girl in front of him, and said seriously, "I don't care about other people's lives."

Xiao Xiu was a little anxious: "How can it be someone else's business? What about me? If something happens to me, do you not care at all?"

Chi Yanxu didn't expect Xiao Xiu to say this. His fingers that were typing on the keyboard paused, but he soon returned to normal: "You will have to go home sooner or later."

He paused, "Pond Bookstore is not your home."

Xiao Xiu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, but he felt faintly unhappy in his heart.She's still a newly adult cat, only a few days into her human form, so it's hard for her to figure out her emotions.

The huge glass windows reflected the light brightly, and she saw her human appearance through the glass, "But, for me... Pond Bookstore and Chi Yan's home are my home in the human world."

Xiao Xiu faintly felt the indifference of Chi Yan in Ah Fu's mouth.

It turns out that to him, he and others are always the same.But after thinking about it, she added: "Chi Yan is right. After I go home, maybe I won't come back. But I will always remember this place and you!"

Looking at her bright and innocent smile, Chi Yan suddenly felt that what he just said was wrong, but he had no intention of explaining it. He said as if he was deliberately avoiding something, "I'll take you to the supermarket tonight."

As soon as Xiaoxiu heard that he could go to the supermarket, he immediately jumped up and threw himself into Chi Yan's arms.

"Chi Yan, Chi Yan, I want to buy dried fish, I want to buy beer... and more!" She turned away with some embarrassment, "I understand, you can't open things randomly before paying in the supermarket!"
