A few cat food boxes were opened, and the ground was full of cat food. A familiar figure was facing away from him, pouting her butt, lying in one of the boxes, and was looking for something.

“Man Man?” Yu Zhan was surprised.

Liu Man stood up straight, turned her head, and was also surprised, “How did you know I am here?”

“I didn’t go home last night; I slept next door. I heard the noise from your side and thought that a thief had entered, but it turns out to be a false alarm,” Yu Zhan silently put the scalpel into his pocket.

Only then did Liu Man notice that Yu Zhan’s clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, his pants were wrinkled, and his coat was crooked. He apparently ran over as soon as he woke up.

She smiled and said, “I am worried about the safety of the cat. I woke up very early. I guess he must have passed anesthesia at this time and should be very hungry. There is no cat food in your store, and it’s not good to just give him the nutrient solution. I remember the last time Manager Huang delivered the goods, he gave me a small box of canned kitten liquid food for a trial sale, so I came to look for it.”

“Did you find it? Do you need my help?”

Liu Man nodded, “I have flipped through the lower-level boxes, and it wasn’t there. it should be on the top. I can’t reach it. It’s up to you, a tall man, to do it.”

Yu Zhan rolled up his sleeves, and, without a word, began to climb the box and move the boxes. He was huffing and wasn’t being coquettish at all.

He worked very efficiently. After a while, he found the box of canned food that Liu Man described. He moved the box down and put it on the ground. Just as he was about to open the box, Liu Man said,

“You should take it all to give the cat more nutrients.”

“Didn’t Manager Huang give this to you for you to try selling it? Are you not going to put it on sale?”

“It can be delayed. When I have sufficient funds in the future, I will purchase the goods directly from Manager Huang.”

Yu Zhan did not interfere with Liu Man’s decision.

He moved the cat food to his clinic, and Liu Man locked the storage door and came over. The two went to see the stray cat.

The cat was indeed awake at this time, and an Elizabethan collar is placed on his head to prevent him from licking the wound. He opened a pair of round green eyes, looking at the two humans through the plexiglass of the incubator.

Because he was too thin, his eyes were extraordinarily large and pitiful, Liu Man said, “His eyes are as green as Daylight’s.”

“He should be the same breed as Daylight, both British shorthair cats, but he is a silver-shaded cat. He’s probably under one year old,” Yu Zhan was really experienced and could identify the breed at a glance.

The only difference between silver gradients and gold gradients was the hair color. As the name suggested, one was silvery white and the other was golden white. Since he was a pure-breed cat, he was 90% likely to be abandoned by his original owner and became a stray cat.

Liu Man was suddenly inspired, “Let’s call him Moonlight. Although his hair has been shaved off, when it grows back, I think it must be silver and as beautiful as moonlight.”

“Do you want to adopt it?” Yu Zhan asked.

“Well, my mother and I are very busy now. I don’t have time to accompany Daylight. Daylight is very lonely at home during the day, so I just want to find her a companion. Anyway, we all like cats, and my mother won’t reject him.”

Yu Zhan originally planned to keep this poor cat. Since Liu Man offered to adopt him, he would naturally follow her wish.

At this time, a timid voice came from outside the door, “Bro, sis.”

Two pair turned their heads to see Lu Lingling, with a bag on her back, standing outside.

“I’m passing by before school, and I saw that the outside door is open, so I came in.” Lu Lingling didn’t sleep well last night, for she was especially worried about the cat.

“He’s in a very good condition,” Yu Zhan beckoned Lu Lingling over, “He will be alive and well in a few days.”

Lu Lingling looked at him through the incubator again. The little guy was hungry, and made a small meow at them.

Liu Man brought a can in, and Yu Zhan opened the incubator, “Feed him with a small spoon.”

The canned food was in liquid form. Liu Man dug up a spoonful, and when it reached the cat’s mouth, he immediately licked it off with his small tongue and gobbled it up. He was really starving.

Lu Lingling opened her schoolbag, took out a few hundred-RMB bills from the small inner pocket, and handed them to Yu Zhan, “Is the money enough for the treatment of the cat?”

Yu Zhan laughed, “I will bear the full amount of the treatment fee, so you don’t need to pay.”

“But I found the cat…” Lu Lingling still blamed herself.

“But, I brought it to Zhan here,” Liu Man said with a smile, “You won’t be able to pay the treatment fee, so quickly collect your money and save it to buy yourself some delicious snacks.”

“Sis, did you stay here with him last night?” Lu Lingling asked again.

“No, no. Zhan stayed here, and I came in the morning.” Liu Man said.

When Lu Lingling saw that the cat liked to eat canned food, she thought the canned food was sold in the pet clinic. She asked Yu Zhan, “How much is this canned food?” If the cat didn’t find his way to a good new owner, even if the cat was cured, he would still become a stray cat in the future and be bullied by villains.

Since there was no need to pay for the treatment, she was willing to bear the food cost of the cat. Her parents would give her allowance every week. The savings should be enough to buy a lot of cat food and canned cat food.

Yu Zhan said, “Canned food is a new product that she was going to try to sell on the Internet. It costs no money.”

Lu Lingling had been following Princess Man’s Weibo for a long time, so she knew that she was selling cat food online, “Thank you, sis.”

“Don’t thank her,” Yu Zhan smiled, “A few minutes ago, she had adopted this cat and named it Moonlight. She is his new owner, so it is natural for her to serve him.”

Lu Lingling was surprised and delighted, “Great, great,” she was about to jump up with joy. She looked at Liu Man with a pair of shiny eyes, “I like you so much, sis,” she finished, and again, said to Yu Zhan, “I also like you so much, bro. You are all great people.”

Liu Man smiled faintly, “I like you, too.”

…

Moonlight was recuperating in the pet clinic for a whole week. During this week, Liu Man would visit him every night. Seeing him from grow from being weak to becoming vigorous, his pelt gradually grew stubbles.

This weekend, Liu Man put Moonlight in apet box and took him home.

When she and Moonlight entered the door, they saw Daylight standing in front of the entrance, staring at the pet box in her hand with big, watery eyes. Her expression was a bit curious and a bit wary.

Moonlight, inside the pet box, realized there was another cat ouside, “Meow~~~”

Daylight followed, “Meow~~~~”

She then circled around the box and went up, sniffing.

Moonlight, lying in front of the plastic cat box net, was sniffing and trying to smell something.

He stared at Daylight, and the two pairs of similar green eyes were full of curiosity for the other. Luckily, the two cats did not show dislike for each other.

Daylight was very friendly to Moonlight on their first meeting.
