Chapter 173: Chapter 165: What Are You Looking At? (Part 2)

Just at that moment...

Yang Yuxi and Liu Ruihan came over, looking curious and asked, "Qingqing’s dad, what are you watching here with Qingqing and Weiwei?"

"That’s right! What are you watching? Is there something interesting? I want to see, I want to see..." Liu Ruihan tilted her little head, curiously looking at Qingqing and Weiwei, and squatted down like them while speaking.

"Shh... Don’t speak loudly, you’ll scare the kitty away..." Weiwei quickly gestured to Liu Ruihan to keep quiet.

But Liu Ruihan didn’t notice Weiwei’s gesture and, full of joy, looked around, searching for the cat’s silhouette, and happily asked, "Kitty? Where’s the kitty? Where’s the kitty?"

Then...

Her gaze unintentionally met the cat hiding in the bushes.

Eyes locked.

Cat: Awkward!

Liu Ruihan: (｡◕ˇ∀ˇ◕)

"Wow... there’s really a cat here..."

Liu Ruihan couldn’t help but clasp her hands under her chin, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Seems like we’ve encountered a little guest today... Should we invite it to play with us?"

Yang Yuxi bent down, curiously peering into the bushes and then discovered the hidden cat. Her eyes lit up as she spoke.

"Sure, sure!"

Liu Ruihan and Qingqing both nodded eagerly.

Qingqing blinked her big curious eyes: "Miss Yang, how can we get the kitty to come out and play with us?"

"Don’t worry, the teacher has a way..."

Yang Yuxi smiled slightly, a hint of scheming glinting in her eyes.

Then she tiptoed a few steps forward, squatted down, and gently called, "Kitty, come out, kitty, come out."

The cat didn’t seem thrilled; it glanced at Yang Yuxi with a somewhat sarcastic look and then pridefully turned its head, its tail sweeping lightly, as if saying: "Hmph, being pretty means nothing! You can’t make me come out..."

Oh dear!

Even acting all proud!

Yang Yuxi felt helpless inside...

Huang Jun and the others couldn’t help but chuckle.

It must be said, this cat is indeed interesting, not only very cautious but also quite prideful!

Yang Yuxi chuckled awkwardly but didn’t give up, defending her skills: "Maybe the teacher’s method was wrong, I’ll try another one..."

She took a set of keys out of her pocket and gently shook them, producing a crisp and pleasant sound.

Meanwhile, she softly called to the cat again, "Kitty, listen, this is the sound of keys, isn’t it curious? Kitty, come out and play."

At first, the cat seemed a bit curious about the keys’ sound, turning slightly to fix its crystal clear eyes on the keys in Yang Yuxi’s hand. But in the next second...

It pridefully turned away again, its tail sweeping lightly, as if saying: Hmph, don’t think this will trick me into coming out; I’m not so easily fooled.

Yang Yuxi: "..."

Ahhh...

Why did it fail again?

Sigh!

She must not be the cat’s "type"...

Qingqing looked up at her and said, "Miss Yang, my daddy says you can attract cats with food..."

"I have chocolate, let me try..."

Liu Ruihan immediately pulled out a piece of exquisite chocolate from her pocket, carefully unwrapped it, and placed it on the ground near her, hoping the aroma would entice the kitty to come out and eat it.

However, the result was the same.

The cat just glanced at the chocolate out of the corner of its eye and maintained its prideful posture, its tail sweeping lightly, as if saying: Hmph, don’t think a piece of chocolate will lure me; I’m not that easy to fool.

At this point.

Everyone was at their wit’s end!

Huang Jun thought for a moment and said, "Miss Yang, keep an eye on them for me, I’ll be right back..."

With that, without waiting for Yang Yuxi’s response, he got up and went back to the kitchen, and asked Aunt Li, who was busy, "Aunt Li, the sauce left over from the braised ribs, is it still there?"

Aunt Li paused her work and nodded puzzledly, "Yes, why?"

"Then give it to me..." Huang Jun said with a smile.

Aunt Li, upon hearing this, looked reluctant.

She had originally planned to take this flavorful braised ribs sauce home to mix with her rice for dinner.

But since Huang Jun had asked, she could only respond helplessly, "Ah, oh, okay, I’ll go get it for you."

"Thank you!"

Huang Jun, once he had it in hand, immediately returned to Yang Yuxi’s side.

"So you went to get some food, huh..."

Yang Yuxi watched Huang Jun return with a plastic bag filled with rich sauce, and as the familiar aroma wafted past her nose, she instantly understood his intention.

Though she anticipated Huang Jun’s attempt, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried: Would this proud cat be interested in the braised ribs sauce made by Huang Jun?

Huang Jun gave a brief "Hmm," placed the bag on the ground, opened it, and said, "You’re in for a treat today!"

"Meow?"

The cat curiously stared at this two-legged creature, then arrogantly turned its head, its tail gently sweeping, as if to say, "Hmph, I, the mighty feline, am not interested..."

But in the very next second...

A rich aroma spread out, causing its ears to tilt forward slightly, eyes widening with excitement, seeming to say: Wow, what is this good stuff? It smells amazing!

The cat’s nose began twitching rapidly, and its little paws couldn’t help but lightly scratch the ground.

At that moment, it completely forgot its previous arrogance and vigilance, leaving only the desire for this delicious food.

It suddenly leaped forward, stretched out its pink tongue to lick its lips, then quickly pounced on the food, grabbed it with its paws, and began to enjoy it thoroughly.

Its eyes narrowed slightly, relishing the pleasure brought by the sauce, occasionally making "meow meow" sounds.

"Oh, the cat came out, the cat’s eating..." Qingqing and the other three children laughed happily.

Yang Yuxi was also slightly surprised, but then thought...

Huang Jun’s culinary skills are irresistible to humans, let alone to a feline!

"Don’t rush, eat slowly, no one’s gonna snatch it from you."

Seeing the cat eating happily, Huang Jun felt a ripple of joy in his heart and reached out to gently stroke the cat’s back.

The cat didn’t resist his touch, instead letting down its guard completely, continuing to lick the sauce from the plastic bag.

Watching Huang Jun and the cat’s interaction, Qingqing, Weiwei, and Liu Ruihan couldn’t hold back their desire to join in.

So...

They stepped forward together, activating the collective "cat-petting" mode.

At first, Qingqing and Weiwei were still a bit afraid of the cat, worrying it might bite them.

After all, the cat had just been baring its teeth at them!

But they really liked the cat, eventually unable to resist stretching out their little hands to gently stroke its body.

The cat’s fur was soft and comfy~

After being touched, the cat instinctively turned its head, widened its eyes, looking somewhat displeased at them, as if to say: Don’t bother me.

And this startled Qingqing and Weiwei, prompting them to quickly pull back their hands.

"Don’t be afraid, the cat won’t bite you. It’s happy you touched it!" Huang Jun said, smiling as he reached out to stroke the cat’s head.

The cat narrowed its eyes, seemingly questioning Huang Jun: Silly two-legged creature, do you misunderstand the phrase "very happy"?

Seeing Huang Jun smiling at it, it sighed inwardly and bowed to the deliciousness, quietly enduring the weighty affection of their petting.

After a moment.

Having finished its food, the cat contentedly licked its lips, then slowly stood up, turning toward the bushes.

At that moment, its tail was held high, swaying like a victorious banner...

Upon reaching the bushes...

With a gentle leap, it jumped into them.

Soon, the cat slipped through the bushes gracefully, leaving only a slight rustle behind, and cleverly squeezed through a gap in the wall...

Leaving Qingqing and the others standing there wistfully, feeling a strange sense of loss.

Just as their gazes began to dim...

The cat returned! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Weiwei exclaimed excitedly, "Papa, it’s back, it’s back, it’s brought something back..."
