Chapter 93: Closed Cycle

The weather was hot and sultry. It seemed like it was soon about to rain.
Ji Yushi leaned against the car window as Ji Minyue nagged, “Mum and I have already helped clean up your place. After my careful inspection, we have already prepared everything you need. Look at this, according to the weather forecast, the next few days will be heavy rain. Why don’t you move out later and stay home for a few more days?”

At the age of seventeen, he had just graduated from high school.
He was suddenly hit with an impulsive urge and booked a plane ticket without saying a word before running off to Kado Island to play.
By the time the Ji family received a call from him, he had already arrived at his destination.

Returning today, it was Ji Minyue who drove over to pick him up.
Ji Yushi had been in the sun in Kado for more than half a month and his skin was darker than before, giving him a healthy glow.

Hearing Ji Minyue’s suggestion, he replied, “Whether or not it rains shouldn’t have anything to do with going home? Didn’t you also move out before you turned eighteen?”

Young and rebellious.
Everyone had a time like this. It was just that this rebellious stage came to Ji Yushi a little late.

Ji Minyue was also still in his twenties, and he still retained his youthful heart, “Alright then. Instead of learning the good things, you just had to learn my bad habits.”
Ji Yushi looked over, “Who said I was learning from you?”
Ji Minyue, “Old Ji said it.”

After dropping Ji Yushi off, Ji Minyue left.
Sure enough, everything had been cleaned up very well. Aunt Su was so meticulous, even the most basic daily necessities were prepared, including but not limited to paper towels, handwash and the likes. It was filled with motherly love. This was Ji Yushi’s first time living alone. His family was worried but those days with someone taking care of him was too easy of a life for him. He just wanted to learn to be independent as soon as possible.

When he woke up the next morning, the sky was gloomy. It really was about to rain.
Ji Yushi’s suitcase was still on the wooden floor. After returning yesterday, he didn’t have time to tidy up. There were only a few clothes inside and most of it were small gimmicks he had brought back from Kado.
He walked back and forth through his place barefoot and when he went to the kitchen to pour himself some water, he vaguely heard a small cry.

At first, he thought it was just his imagination.
But even after he finished drinking his glass of water, the cry continued.

“Meow~”
It was small and soft, like it belonged to a young kitten. It also sounded like there was more than one.
The kitchen had a large window with white venetian blinds. Through the window, he could see the garden behind the community where luscious plants grew. He pushed aside the blinds and found that the sky outside was incredibly cloudy, and it had also started to rain. The rain came very quickly and fell with great force.
After opening the window, the sound of rain hitting the leaves and ground grew louder. The faint cries seemed to come from the garden.

How could there be cats?
He hesitated for a moment and then put on his shoes and brought along an umbrella. He planned to take a look.

Holding an umbrella, the young man walked into the community garden for the first time.
The rain was falling heavily. It fell onto the umbrella, drawing a line as it flowed to the edge and fell to the ground. The edges of his pants were wet. After reaching a deep part of the garden, he saw a litter of kittens.

There was a cardboard box under the bushes. It was already drenched by the rain.
The three kittens that looked no more than two months old were completely black. They scratched at the cardboard box in attempt to crawl out and were also meowing in panic.
