Chapter 19: Homecoming

Selene walked up to the golden fur, and was quite worried in her heart.

 

Cats and dogs don't speak the same language. How should she tell this dog in front of her and let it go back with her?

 

Just as Selene was still thinking, she suddenly realized that the golden hair in front of her moved. It took a step forward, then squatted down and lowered its head to look at her with curious eyes.

 

Facing this situation, Selene instantly had a little more pressure.

 

It couldn't be helped, the size difference between her and Golden Hair was too big, even crouching. It looked like a small mountain to her.

 

However, as a human, Selene quickly adjusted her mindset.

 

Even the biggest dog is a cutie in the eyes of a dog lover.

 

Not to mention that Selene loved the well-behaved and obedient golden hair in front of her, if not because of the fact that she had turned into a cat and had no conditions to commit crimes, she would have had to jerk the furry one in front of her bald.

 

However, now is not the time to jerk the dog. Selene faced a new problem.

 

-- She was fine as a kitty, a large dog without a leash couldn't run into people in the neighborhood, or Rowan would be designated to get a complaint, and maybe the dog's license would have to be revoked.

 

You can't just waltz down the street, you have to be careful.

 

Selene perked up her ears, listened to all directions and made sure there was no one in front of her before she lifted her paw and tapped the dog's front paw.

 

"Meow." (Follow me.)

 

Selene didn't care if the golden fur understood or not, so she turned around and walked forward, then she turned her head and then whispered "meow" twice after she walked out a few steps.

 

It worked, and the Golden stood up again and walked in her direction.

 

Selene was instantly relieved. She was really afraid that the Golden Hair wouldn't take care of her.

 

Under the moonlight, a large and a small group of black shadows darted through the neighborhood.

 

Snow Velvet Elegant Court was actually a garden-style residential neighborhood, and even among the high-grade neighborhoods in the entire Morning Glory City, it was also the one with the highest percentage of green space.

 

Due to the fact that Selene's mental state is not very good during the daytime, so she is actually non-essential not to go out, let alone walking in the neighborhood, so Selene has never discovered ...

 

It turns out that the scenery of this neighborhood is surprisingly so good, with plants of different heights and lows, flowers blooming everywhere, and a perfect blend of various colors and complex and gorgeous buildings.

 

It was just a beautiful view for the people, but for the critters, it could be a complex jungle maze.

 

Selene crossed a gazebo and a stone path before standing in front of a row of bushes, lost in thought.

 

The bushes, so small to humans, looked to her like a mysterious entrance to the forest, and the fairy tales she had read before suddenly materialized.

 

People were afraid of the darkness, but cats were not. Rather, it was the darkness that gave cats a sense of security.

 

Strong night vision allowed Selene to see through the bushes clearly, and her sensitive hearing allowed her to detect any breeze in the darkness.

 

Very safe.

 

Only after making this judgment did Selene strut into the bushes, and immediately after that she turned her head, ready to call Golden Hair over.

 

Only, Selene froze in place just as she turned her head.

 

The bushes ... just looked like groves to her, and with a golden fur that big, it seemed like a bit of a hardship for him to go into the bushes.

 

It was so hard to be a cat, and even harder to be a cat that needed to lead the way for a dog.

 

Selene sighed inwardly as she prepared to go back the way she came and find a better path.

 

However, she had only taken a step forward when she realized that the big golden fur that looked majestic in front of her suddenly got down.

 

Selene: ????

 

No way, did the fluids not work and the dog is too sick to walk?

 

Selene rushed out of the bush in a hurry and stared nervously at the golden hair to observe its condition, but she realized that the dog looked quite well and its round eyes were still blinking at her.

 

"Meow?"

 

Selene didn't quite understand what was going on in the dog's head, so she leaned in closer to make a questioning noise.

 

After this, the golden did something that shocked Selene.

 

It suddenly picked her up.

 

Yes, as in literally, a dog picked up the skin on the back of her neck with precision and lifted her whole cat.

 

She's hanging in the air, looking exactly like the "pinch the back of her neck" emoji.

 

The image was so fantastical that Selene's brain went down for a while before it recovered.

 

Then, something even more fantastical happened.

 

The golden hair moved.

 

It leapt up, instantly jumped over the bushes, landed smoothly, and then precisely bypassed the intricate trees, darting in a certain direction in the night.

 

It probably didn't matter that she wasn't very big either, so she didn't feel much at all of the skin on the back of her neck where the dog was holding her, and for the moment, Selene just felt like she was riding in a very smooth convertible sports car.

 

The sound of the wind swept by her ears, and the scenery of the garden flashed before her eyes frame by frame, constituting an exceptionally marvelous experience.

 

It didn't take long for the familiar building A to appear in front of Selene's eyes.

 

Immediately afterwards, she landed smoothly.

 

Obviously, the dog recognized the way. Selene always felt that her worry just now was very superfluous, and had the feeling that she was fighting with the air.

 

Maybe in the golden fur's eyes, she was the stupid kitty who couldn't recognize the way and would just goof off into the bushes.

 

Thinking about it this way, she was such a failure as a human that she wasn't even as sweet as a dog.

 

...

 

How should I put it ... Is a dog following its master?

 

Rowan is very understanding. He has a dog that is very understanding of cats?

 

The more I thought about it, the more complicated my mood became.

 

Selene withdrew her ever emanating thoughts, turned around and began to survey the building in front of her.

 

Since she had already reached the bottom of the unit, she just had to find a way to get up to the nineteenth floor.

 

The elevator was not to be taken, didn't bring an elevator card at all, even if she did, she couldn't use it. After all, there was surveillance right in the elevator, in case it was discovered that a cat would use an elevator card to take the elevator, she would be done for.

 

She still had to take the safe passage and climb the stairs.

 

Having made her decision, Selene took the lead towards the interior of the building, the first floor lobby was quiet, the management staff were off duty.

 

Selene twisted her head to look at Golden Hair and raised her chin, and Golden Hair obediently followed behind her.

 

The cat and the dog walked silently to the stairwell door. The door was a spring door, usually closed. If someone wanted to go in or out, they could push it open by themselves.

 

Selene hadn't taken the safe passage in this neighborhood, but she'd done it several times at work, so she aimed for the door panel and slammed into it with confidence.

 

Attempting to break the door open with her small frame.

 

But...

 

"Thunk-"

 

The entire orange cat slammed into the door, and it didn't budge.

 

Selene took two steps back, lifting her paw to cover her aching head, and looked at the door in front of her incredulously, once again gaining a little more correct knowledge of her weak and pathetic, but edible feline body.

 

It was a good thing Faye wasn't there, or she'd have to laugh at her for a year.

 

Selene had just finished her fearful thought when her afterglow swept over the golden fur crouching at her side.

 

No one saw it, but a dog did.

 

Selene slowly twisted her head and realized that the golden hair on the side grinned, eyes shining brightly, smiling stupidly, looking very joyful.

 

... She was making a dog laugh?

 

Really hell.

 

Never mind, she didn't bother with puppies, she was a human at heart.

 

Just as Selene was still trying to figure out how to open the door, she saw the door in front of her being pushed open.

 

Selene looked up only to realize that it was Golden Hair who had stood up on his upper body and placed his two front paws on the door panel, using the weight of his body to open the door.

 

Well, it's not uncommon for dogs to open doors.

 

Selene quickly accepted that the Golden next door was a smart dog.

 

In a few minutes, Selene climbed up to the nineteenth floor, and the door leading from the stairwell to the hallway was still opened by Golden Hair.

 

Seeing the familiar corridor, Selene almost shed tears of emotion, not realizing that after turning into a kitten, she would have to go through five hurdles to even get home from the door of the neighborhood.

 

Of course, before returning to her own home, Selene didn't forget the heavy responsibility of her - escorting the dog home.

 

Luckily, they hadn't closed the door to Rowan's house before they left, and now that door was still half-open to let the dog in.

 

Selene watched as the Golden went inside, then went over to help push the door closed, and only when she heard the lock click into place did she turn around and head back to her own house with a sense of relief.

 

Just as she entered, she saw Faye standing by the door, yawning.

 

"You're too slow, I thought you were lost in the neighborhood."

 

"Meow!" (No way!)

 

"Hungry? Want me to heat up some food for you?"

 

Selene happily ran to the button and pressed it.

 

"Okay."

 

After running around all night, kitties certainly do get hungry.

 

-

 

The next day, Selene woke up earlier than ever, opening her eyes at ten o'clock.

 

It wasn't that she'd had enough sleep, but she was still thinking about yesterday's "adventure teammates".

 

She wondered what condition the dog was in, and whether he was feeling any better.

 

Selene took her cell phone, which was placed on the bedside table, and found several unread WeChat messages.

 

All from Rowan.

 

Faye used her cell phone to send several messages to Rowan yesterday and also made WeChat calls.

 

[Neighbor: I'm sorry, I ran into a bit of trouble yesterday and couldn't get home for a while.]

 

[Neighbor: Thank you for helping me take my dog to the doctor, the money was transferred to you, if it's not enough please talk to me.]

 

There was indeed a transfer record below, the amount was twenty thousand dollars.

 

Selene had mixed feelings after reading the message.

 

Say Rowan to the dog on the heart it ... He left the door before he also did not put the dog settled, heard the dog sick by her to the hospital, did not even ask a dog now how it is, the state is good.

 

To say that he is not attentive to the dog it ... can be a dog to raise a good and a very intuitive thing. The golden retriever's fur is soft and smooth and glossy, the character of the character of the gentle emotional stability, even the physique is much more robust than the other golden retriever she has seen, and it looks like it is a puppy that is soaked in love and grows up.

 

"What a strange one."

 

Selene clicked 'collect' and then did some math and transferred the excess back.

 

[The bus fare and medical bills are not that much, I'll refund you the excess, take it.]

 

Selene paused, then resumed typing.

 

[Right, you should be home by now, right? The dog's medicine is still with me. I will send it to you later, and tell you how to take it in person.]

 

Selene wasn't sure if the other side was awake, so she put her cell phone aside and got up to go wash up first.

 

When she came out of the bathroom and looked at her phone again, the opposite party had indeed returned the message.

 

[Neighbor: I don't know when I'll be able to go back, can you please help take care of my dog?]
