Fang Xia discovered that his cat was a bit different. How was it different?
Oh!
His cat was exceptionally smart.
Anything Fang Xia said once, the cat could remember, even some difficult words it could understand.
"Ming Ming, go get me a piece of bread."
Fang Xia's hands moved quickly as he gave the command.
The little cat jumped off the bed and crouched by the box, extending its paw to poke around. Finally, it grabbed a bread bag with its mouth and jumped back onto the bed.
Just in time, the game ended.
Fang Xia took the bread from the little cat's mouth, tore it open, and placed some pieces in front of the cat.
The little cat extended its tongue, licked it a few times, and then started to chew slowly.
One of Fang Xia's hands rested beside the little cat while the other hand stuffed bread into his mouth, but he still couldn't fit it all: "Why don't you just eat directly? Are you afraid I poisoned it?"
The little cat ignored Fang Xia and focused on eating what was in its mouth.
Fang Xia stopped bothering it and finished eating before starting the next round.
After raising it for two or three days, Fang Xia finally noticed something was off.
Although kittens grow quickly, this was too fast.
Watching the kitten eat food that weighed as much as itself, Fang Xia could only tease, "Your metabolism is quite good."
Maybe it had eaten too much today; while playing a game halfway through, Fang Xia saw the kitten curled up on the ground with its round belly, weakly meowing at him.
Fang Xia put down his phone, poked the cat, and asked with concern, "Did you overeat?"
"Meow..."
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became. Fang Xia picked up his phone again but found himself distracted, and his performance in the game worsened.
Helpless, Fang Xia set down his phone and watched as the kitten continued to cry out in distress.
He realized something was definitely wrong.
He picked up his phone once more and opened the screen, but not for gaming this time.
Fang Xia opened the map and began searching for nearby veterinary clinics.
He pulled out his bicycle, put on a jacket with large pockets, placed the kitten inside, and started pedaling furiously toward the clinic.
By the time he arrived at the veterinary clinic, an hour had already passed.
Yes, a 15-kilometer journey.
Fang Xia was drenched in sweat, leaning against the wall with his hands on his thighs, breathing heavily.
Fang Xia thought to himself, Ming Ming, you might as well stop calling me brother and just call me dad from now on.
Who else would treat you this well besides a father?
Fortunately, it didn't take long for a doctor to come out.
The doctor looked quite angry at first, but upon seeing that Fang Xia appeared to be a student, his expression softened. He spoke earnestly, "You look like a high school student; how could you do something like abuse a small animal? You should focus on more positive things and not project your negative emotions onto animals. If it weren't for..."
The more Fang Xia listened, the more confused he became. He interrupted the doctor, "Sir, what are you talking about? When did I abuse it?"
The doctor raised his voice, "You say you didn't abuse it? Then what is this?"
Seeing the small metal piece in the doctor's palm, Fang Xia was filled with questions.
Pointing at the metal piece, Fang Xia still didn't understand, "What does this have to do with anything?"
"Isn't this what you put inside the kitten's body?"
Fang Xia was shocked and flustered, "No, it's not me! I just found it a few days ago!"
Seeing that Fang Xia's expression didn't seem fake, the doctor calmed down slowly. "Then I apologize; I was a bit upset and took it out on you. Now that I think about it, if it were really you who did this, why would you bring it to the hospital?"
"Ha, it's nothing."
Fang Xia awkwardly smiled, and the doctor shyly handed over the iron piece before leaving.
Looking at the small bundle lying on the hospital bed and then at the little iron piece in her hand, Fang Xia still couldn't understand.
How could anyone want to harm such a cute creature?
Pushing her bicycle and cradling the kitten in her arms, Fang Xia strolled along a road that seemed to stretch endlessly.
This area was close to the countryside; the deeper she went, the more she could see the neatly divided fields, with lush green wheat shimmering softly in the wind, creating a beautiful scene.
The fresh air, accompanied by cars whizzing by, made her feel comfortable and relaxed, warming her body and making her feel light and carefree.
"You little thing, you sure are comfortable."
Fang Xia gently stroked the kitten's whiskers and looked at the boundless blue sky and white clouds. "We still have a couple of stretches to go; we'll be home soon."
As she approached a little over a kilometer left, this area felt increasingly remote compared to where she had walked before.
Looking at the distant mountain peaks, Fang Xia thought that if she crossed two more mountains, she would reach the primeval forest.
