Dear Mr. Lu

Chapter 24

Luo Wencheng had never had a pet, and he didn't have much love for animals, but this big cat struck a chord with him. Even though he was pounced on and scratched as soon as they met, he wasn't angry at all. It was probably because he didn't feel any hostility from the big girl.

Seeing the cat's pitiful appearance, Luo Wencheng couldn't bear it. He asked Lu Chong, "Why does she keep looking at me?"

Lu Chong glanced back at the big cat, "Ignore her. Every time she does something wrong, she pretends to be pitiful." Lu Chong was a little angry in his heart. Ribs was like his child; although she had always been a little arrogant and wayward, she was still good and kind by nature, and no parent would be happy to witness such aggressive behaviour.

But at the same time, he also wondered: the girl was getting lazier and lazier as she got older. She always ignored people when she saw them. Why did she react so much today?

"Mee..." The big cat with a black and yellow back and white belly let out a low, delicate cry at Lu Chong and rubbed her furry head against his calf, as if begging for mercy. The big tail was sweeping around Lu Chong's feet. Lu Chong hadn't seen her so coquettish for a long time. He rubbed the cat's back with a hint of helplessness and doting, even though his face was stern. "What's the matter with you today? Are you dissatisfied with my guest? Don't be coquettish with me, apologise to him yourself."

It didn't look like Ribs hated Luo Wencheng, otherwise she wouldn't behave like this after scratching him, but Lu Chong wasn't completely sure yet. He was going to take another look. If Ribs really didn't get along with Luo Wencheng, then he definitely couldn't let them stay together.

He had an inexplicable urge to take care of Luo Wencheng, but in any case, this young man he hadn't known for a long time was far less important to him than his stupid cat.

However, the next scene made it difficult for Lu Chong to maintain a calm look. After hearing his words, Ribs abandoned Lu Chong without hesitation and rushed towards Luo Wencheng in a single leap. Then she stood up and hugged Luo Wencheng's calf, sticking to it with her whole body and rubbing herself against it hard, meowing non-stop, very happy.

Luo Wencheng was taken aback; but seeing the cat's intoxicated expression, he couldn't help but smile, stretch out his hand and gently stroke the furry head: "Hello, my name is Luo Wencheng. Is your name Ribs?"

The cat was very big. She was taller than Luo Wencheng's calf when she stood up, so she could easily rest her head on Luo Wencheng's knee. Hearing Luo Wencheng's voice, the cat opened her eyes and suddenly stopped meowing. A pair of cat's eyes just stared at Luo Wencheng.

The cat's eyes were bright yellow, and Luo Wencheng's eyes were light amber. They looked at each other from a short distance, only having each other in their eyes. Luo Wencheng suddenly felt shocked, as if he was not looking at an animal, but at a relative whom he hadn't seen for a long time...

Suddenly there was an urge to cry.

His heart surged, and something very cold and hard in it softened.

"Meow." The big cat looked at Luo Wencheng gently, affectionately and dependently, crying delicately, her eyes incredibly clear. Luo Wencheng's eyelashes trembled, and he even forgot Lu Chong, who was still by his side. He bent down, hugged the big cat's belly and picked her up, holding her carefully like a child in his arms: "Little girl, do you like me? I like you too."

"Meow." The big cat craned her neck, gently bit Luo Wencheng's chin twice, then curled herself into a ball, buried herself in his arms and closed her eyes.

She was getting older; after all the fuss just now she was tired.

She liked the smell of this person so much. She was so happy; she remembered she was hugged like this when she was very, very young...
