Chapter 79 - 079 got stuck

Li Zheng only discovered that Lin Yujing was already standing there when he opened the door.

One hand was carrying a cat carrier, a cat bowl, and a cat litter tray, while the other hand was carrying cat food and cat litter.

She was still wearing that khaki-colored trench coat, wrapped tightly in a white scarf.

The only difference was that she now wore a cat face mask, and with her long hair covering parts of her face, only her eyes were visible.

However, her gaze today was wandering from side to side, not daring to look directly, and didn’t seem so unapproachable.

Seeing Li Zheng leaning on crutches and wrapped in bandages, she too was quite startled.

"Huh???"

"It’s nothing serious, just needs some rest," Li Zheng raised his hand and said, "But I’m afraid you’ll have to trouble yourself with moving the stuff inside."

Lin Yujing quickly bent down and moved the items inside one by one before trying to slip away without a word.

"At least give me some instructions; it’s my first time," Li Zheng swallowed, "raising a cat."

Lin Yujing looked down at Jingjing in the cage and finally nodded her head.

As soon as she changed shoes and entered the house, her expression tightened, and she adjusted her mask.

Li Zheng pointed towards the kitchen with his crutch: "Our house has a scent of vegetables, please excuse it."

Without saying much more, Lin Yujing took off her trench coat, hung it up neatly, then rolled up the sleeves of her little white sweater very high and picked up the cat carrier.

"Hmm!"

It seemed she was determined to help Jingjing claim this place.

Afterward, under Li Zheng’s direction, she moved the items one by one into Li Zheng’s bedroom.

First came the cat litter box, placed in the corner of the room.

This cat litter box was enclosed, with Jingjing needing to go through a flap to get in and out, which helps prevent odors.

Then there was the cat dish, with two compartments, one for cat food and the other for water.

There was also a cat tree for scratching purposes.

Once everything was settled, Lin Yujing let out a long sigh and then opened the door of the cat carrier.

Jingjing immediately darted out, sniffing around headfirst, smelling every corner of the room.

Before long, it located the cat litter box, expertly crawling in, sniffing the cat litter, then squatting down, with an expression of contentment on its face.

After doing its business, Jingjing looked back, kicked some sand over it to cover, and then it was done.

After crawling out of the box, it leaped onto Li Zheng’s bed, found a comfortable position, spread its legs, and began licking itself intently.

Li Zheng laughed, "That’s truly unrefined."

But then he saw Lin Yujing reach into her pocket and pull out something wrapped in plastic, scrunching it to make a "crinkle crinkle" sound.

Jingjing immediately shivered, stopped licking itself, and stared blankly at Lin Yujing.

Lin Yujing giggled, tore open the packaging, squatted in front of the cat dish, and carefully squeezed out some tender meat chunks.

Jingjing pounced over in a flash, wolfing down the food with hungry meows, calling out while feeding.

Lin Yujing took the opportunity to rub Jingjing’s head, then happily stood up and handed the magical packet to Li Zheng.

"This must be the legendary moist packet," Li Zheng flipped the packet over, "with the flavor of ocean fish."

Lin Yujing didn’t respond, just came closer to Li Zheng and squinted her eyes, observing.

After a moment, she raised her hand and pointed to her nose.

"Oh, I got an x-ray on the way yesterday, it’s nothing." Li Zheng rubbed it once more, "It doesn’t hurt."

Lin Yujing clutched his arm anxiously and glared, "Hmm!"

"Got it, I won’t touch it," Li Zheng chuckled stupidly.

Only then did Lin Yujing take the time to look around Li Zheng’s bedroom.

This room was far from ordinary.

On the east wall, there was a complete chart of high school mathematics, physics, and chemistry formulas.

On the west wall, there were maps of the world, China, and China’s topography.

And on the door, a huge periodic table was hanging.

"Hmm…" Lin Yujing cringed and tightened her mask again.

She looked at Li Zheng and suddenly felt a bit of sympathy.

"Right." Li Zheng took out his phone and said, "I’ll transfer 2500 to you."

Lin Yujing hurriedly shook her head, pushing Li Zheng’s phone back down.

Li Zheng put away his phone while smiling, "Yeah, I actually don’t even have 2500, just being courteous."

"!!" Lin Yujing raised her foot and gently, very gently, tapped Li Zheng’s injured leg.

"It doesn’t hurt," Li Zheng said with a goofy smile, "Though I don’t plan to give you any money, Jingjing is safe here, and you’re welcome to visit anytime."

"Um..." Lin Yujing rubbed her head, bowing and managing to squeeze out two words with difficulty, "Thank you..."

"No problem, I should also thank you for your nasal congestion."

Lin Yujing’s face turned red, she fled next to Jingjing and burrowed her head down, stroking her a few more times, and even rubbed her face against it.

In the end, she sighed and stood up to say goodbye.

Just as she was about to leave.

"Ding-dong—ding-dong—" The doorbell rang.

Both of them were startled.

"Don’t panic," Li Zheng was the first to raise his hand to stabilize her.

A serious female voice followed immediately, "Excuse me, it’s me, Tang Zhifei."

"!?" Lin Yujing instantly bristled, looking around in a panic as if searching for a crevice to squeeze into.

Li Zheng also felt a headache looming.

I just sprayed disinfectant last Friday night.

Why is she here again?

And with Lin Yujing here, Teacher Xiao Tang is likely to overthink again.

Li Zheng turned around to speak but found that Lin Yujing had already disappeared.

Looking down, he saw Lin Yujing trying to crawl under the bed, her lower half stuck outside, awkwardly kicking and struggling to get in or out, unable to utter a single muffled sound.

"Don’t do this..." Li Zheng bent down and whispered with difficulty, "Let’s just ignore her, it’s better if she thinks no one is home."

No sooner had he spoken, Li Zheng’s phone rang.

The sound was loud enough to be heard clearly through the door.

Lin Yujing got so scared that she started kicking frantically again.

Seeing there was no way to avoid the situation, Li Zheng quickly suggested, "How about hiding in my parents’ bedroom for a bit?"

"Hmm..." Lin Yujing started to kick backward, and after a moment of struggling, she whimpered, "Stuck... I’m stuck..."

Li Zheng had no choice but to grab her ankles and drag her out.

It really took some effort to pull her free.

Once Lin Yujing was rescued, she stood up with a flushed face, not wasting any time to speak, and quickly sneaked into his parents’ bedroom under Li Zheng’s guidance, gently closing the door behind her.

Only then did Li Zheng take a deep breath and proceed to the door.

The meticulously thoughtful Li Zheng also hid Lin Yujing’s fluffy boots inside the shoe cabinet.

After arranging everything, he finally opened the door.

"Sorry, Teacher Tang..." Li Zheng raised his crutch and explained, "I have some difficulty moving."

"No, no, no, it’s me who should apologize," Tang Zhifei said as she put down her phone and leaned over to look at Li Zheng’s leg, asking, "How is it? It’s not broken, is it?"

"It’s not a big deal, I should be able to take it off tomorrow morning," Li Zheng then turned to get her a pair of slippers.

All the while, he tried not to look at her feet.

Tang Zhifei noticed Li Zheng’s peculiar behavior and had to suppress her embarrassment, not really knowing what to say.

At this point, only facts could prove her innocence.

The socks she had changed into absolutely didn’t smell.

Go ahead and sniff all you want—if you find any scent, I lose.

Just after she had changed into slippers, she saw a cat standing in front of Li Zheng’s bedroom door, licking its mouth and stealthily observing.

"How cute," Tang Zhifei ran over in a few steps and squatted down to pet it.

But Jingjing didn’t appreciate the gesture, twisted her body and broke free, then went over to sniff at her feet.

"Uh." Li Zheng shuddered.

Why can’t you just live a peaceful life, Jingjing?

Tang Zhifei was even more annoyed to the point of scratching her head.

But she couldn’t just kick Jingjing away.

To break the awkwardness, she turned back and asked, "This cat is too cute, what’s its name?"

"Jin..." Li Zheng began to say but quickly turned his head to correct himself, "Its name is Wang Cai."

"...Isn’t Wang Cai the name of a dog?"

"Yeah, weird, right?"

"..."
