A Cat Follows Along

However, this matter is not urgent, the most important thing now is to find a place to live.

Originally, he and Yuxue could also live in their original home for a few days, and he believed that the loan company would not mind, but living there was unpleasant.

After thinking about it, he called the store manager.

"I have a vacant house, I can take you to see it," the store manager arranged for Xia Yu.

They went to the coffee shop, and the store manager took Xia Yu to see the house.

It was a high-rise apartment next to Yuxue's school, with two bedrooms and one living room, decorated in a minimalist style, much more beautiful than Xia Yu's original home.

"Brother, I can see my school from here!" Yuxue, standing on the balcony, said excitedly.

A child's sadness comes quickly and goes quickly.

So Xiayu decided on this place.

The store manager drafted a contract.

"One thousand a month is too low," Xiayu said, looking at the contract.

For such a school district house, with a fine decoration, one thousand a month is almost a giveaway.

"It's fine, it's empty anyway," the store manager didn't mind. His liquid assets were a bit tight, but he had a lot of real estate, "You still have to take care of your sister, so it's better to have more money on hand."

Seeing that the store manager really didn't care about the rent, Xiayu accepted the other party's kindness. He would repay it in the future.

Xiayu signed the contract.

As he put away the contract, the store manager waved goodbye to Xiayu: "You guys pack up, I'm leaving first."

Sending him to the downstairs, Xiayu returned to his new home.

At this time, Yuxue's mood had calmed down, and there was worry on her face, "Renting this kind of house is very expensive, right? We can just rent a single room!"

"It's fine, it's only one thousand a month," Xiayu replied.

"You've already spent a lot!" Yuxue said with concern.

Xiayu never told Yuxue about his monthly salary. Yuxue thought he only earned one to two thousand a month.

"Is it wrong to rent a one-thousand-a-month house if I earn 10,000 a month now?" Xiayu said with a smile as he sat down on the couch.

"10,000?!" Yuxue looked at Xiayu in surprise.

"The landlord just now is my store manager," Xiayu said, satisfied with Yuxue's expression. Knowing her character, she would probably praise him next.

However, the girl bit her lip, "Brother, were you live streaming in your room those nights?"

Seeing Yuxue's sad expression, Xiayu realized she had misunderstood something.

"I didn't do that kind of live streaming. By the way, how do you know about that kind of thing?" Xiayu frowned, feeling that he hadn't cared enough for his sister.

"..." Yuxue looked away.

After letting the matter go, Xia Yu introduced his work as a piano and violin teacher to the girl and promised to show her around the next day.

After clearing the misunderstanding, Yuxue, as Xia Yu had guessed, threw herself into his arms, saying, "Brother, you're so amazing!"

Holding Yuxue, Xia Yu felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"By the way, where did brother learn piano and violin?" Yuxue asked again.

Xia Yu didn't tell Yuxue before because it was difficult to explain.

"Did mom teach you?" The girl tried to find a reason herself.

Xia Yu's palm stiffened for a moment and pinched Yuxue's cheek, "Yes, mom taught me."

"That's so nice..." Yuxue's voice became deeper.

Neither of them said anything else, and the room fell silent.

After ten minutes, Xia Yu found that Yuxue had already fallen asleep in his arms.

This girl really didn't care where she slept.

Carrying the girl to the bedroom, Xia Yu tidied up their clothes and went back to his previous home to bring some other things, such as his books.

By the time he finished, it was already five thirty.

He went downstairs, bought two hamburgers, and called Yuxue to wake her up for dinner. Then he picked up the black cat and entered his room.

Next, it should be time to find trouble with Gong Liuzi.

Lying on the bed, he entered the black cat's body.

Having just completed the swap, he was still a little uncomfortable, as he hadn't used the black cat for several days.

After doing some simple familiarization exercises in the room, Xia Yu opened the door and walked out.

Gong Liuzi's home was quite far from here, so he tried to sneak into the subway station but was stopped by the diligent subway staff.

He then tried to sneak onto a bus but was similarly stopped.

According to the relevant department's regulations, pets other than guide dogs are not allowed to take public transportation.

What a miscalculation.

Returning home, Xia Yu used his mobile phone to send a message to the taxi driver he'd met when looking for the black cat, asking if he was available.

The driver replied promptly: 'I'm not nearby, but I can introduce a friend to you.'

Xia Yu agreed to the introduction and at the same time lamented the inconvenience of not having a taxi app.

Ten minutes later, the referred driver arrived outside the residential area.

After getting out of the car, he looked around for his employer, but there was no one outside the compound's gate.

Was it another person who stood him up?

As the driver was getting angry, he saw a cat come in front of him, with a piece of paper in its mouth.

Placing the paper in front of him, the black cat meowed.

"For me?" The driver was astonished as he picked up the paper and flipped it open.

Inside the paper were two hundred-yuan banknotes and a line of words. "Please take the cat to Yanghu New Village, and at half-past midnight, go to the gate of Yanghu New Village to pick up the cat. Don't worry about the change, and thank you for your trouble."

While the driver was still shocked by the content, the black cat had already opened the door and sat down, meowing to urge him to drive. With a look of astonishment, the driver started the taxi.

Forty minutes later, the driver parked the car at the entrance of Yanghu New Village. He looked left and right, wanting to know who was here to pick up the black cat, but saw the black cat open the door with its paw and get off the car by itself.

A cat that could take a taxi by itself and knew when to get off when it arrived – this was a psychic cat! The driver immediately pulled out the cushion where the black cat was sitting and kept it. A psychic cat's belongings, especially a black cat's, would be great for warding off evil when driving at night!

On the other side, Xia Yu had already arrived outside Gong Liuzi's house. It was a small bungalow with the lights on inside, so it seemed that Gong Liuzi was at home.

As for how to retaliate against Gong Liuzi, Xia Yu had thought a lot about it. His first thought was to possess Gong Liuzi's wife or mother and do something to him, but on second thought, this would only cause trouble for the original owner of the body. He then thought about using the black cat to put a curse on Gong Liuzi, but in the end, he gave up on this idea.

Lying outside Gong Liuzi's house, Xia Yu waited. At nine in the evening, Gong Liuzi left his house, and Xia Yu followed behind him.

Through twists and turns, Gong Liuzi arrived at the Yanghu Old Village next to the Yanghu New Village. The old village had already been demolished and was full of broken walls. Gong Liuzi didn't go in right away. Instead, he observed his surroundings first.

The night was quiet, and the streetlights dim. Suddenly, there was a click sound. Gong Liuzi was startled and, after seeing that it was a black cat making the noise, he sighed in relief.

It turned out to be just a cat. With a smile, Gong Liuzi stepped into the ruins.
