You"re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 80 Part 4
Tong Yao finished playing the ranked match under Lu Sicheng"s asperous scrutiny. After she was done with the match, she stood up and searched the room for her cat, finally finding it sleeping under Lu Sicheng"s computer desk, holding Lu"s slippers with its legs. The hair on the cat, which Tong Yao had combed just that morning, was sticking out all over the place in a complete mess. Tong Yao picked the cat up and rushed into the yard outside the base to comb its hair once again. She watched the hair fly under the sunlight and sneezed. She decided to listen to Lu Sicheng and take the cat to the pet shop for a bath.
……
The next morning, Tong Yao called to make an appointment with a pet grooming shop near the base, then stuffed the resisting cat into the cage.
It was around ten o"clock in the morning when Tong Yao got to the shop. It was a working day and few customers were in the shop. There was only one customer ahead of her…...Tong Yao walked in the shop and told the receptionist her appointment, then she seemed to sense there was something not quite right inside the shop-- --
Tong Yao looked up to check the inside of the shop. She saw the only other customer in the shop who was sitting on a chair playing on her cell phone. Next to this customer, there was a little sickly kitten lying on a cushion…...To be more exact, the young lady and the kitty both didn"t look like they were in a good condition.
“I know you.” The young lady suddenly spoke: “You"re ZGDX"s mid, right?”
“......”
“We met at the flower and pet market the other day.” The young lady said with a smile: “I was with Tailun Ge that day.”
Tong Yao also recognized her-- --
She finally recognized her, not because of the person but the little kitten.
Tong Yao handed over Dabing to the staff of the shop and walked over to the young lady: “What"s wrong with the kitten?”
“It came down with a cold and was probably very stressed being taken to the base with so many people around. I shouldn"t have taken it to the movie theater that day.” As she was talking, she stood up from the chair: “Tailun Ge doesn"t have time to take care of it and told me to take it to the vet…...Ugh, but I need to go to work today. I have to go to the office to punch in in a little while. I was just worrying about what to do with the cat, could you watch over it for me temporarily? I"ll come back to get it in a short while.”
Tong Yao looked at the kitten, then glanced over at the young lady who had already walked over to the doorway. Tong Yao used her fingers to carefully stroke the kitten: “You shouldn"t buy it if you don"t want to keep it.”
The young lady stopped and responded with an en, then turned around to walk out of the shop-- --
“Miss, do you know how Xu Tailun explained the whole thing during his stream?”
The young lady suddenly stood still outside the doorway. She turned to take a look at Tong Yao then flatly replied: “I heard it.”
“......”
Tong Yao had nothing more to say.
Tong Yao watched the young lady walk away.
She took out her cell phone-- --
[ZGDX, Smiling: Captain, how many matches will I be banned for if I take someone else"s cat away without asking?]
[fhdjwhdb2333: What"s wrong with you now?]
[ZGDX, Smiling: I"m thinking of commiting a crime.]
[fhdjwhdb2333: You better not.]
[fhdjwhdb2333: Where are you now?]
[ZGDX, Smiling: …...At the pet shop, why?]
[fhdjwhdb2333: Nothing. I"ll just go over and beat some sense into you.]
Ten minutes later, a pet shop worker came into the shop to tell Tong Yao: “Young lady, your boyfriend drove here to pick you and your cat up. Why haven"t you told him that we"re just starting to bathe your cat now? Why is he in such a hurry?”
Tong Yao: “.................................................”
