The next day, Xu Maomao was noticed by the students who entered the classroom early.
“There’s a cat here!”
Xu Maomao got up from near the radiator when he heard the sound, flicked his hind legs vigorously, and stretched a long way.
“Meow~”
“Ah, it’s so cute and beautiful! It seems to be a very expensive breed of cat!” “
“I know, it’s a puppet cat, oh my god, I really want to take it back!”
“Don’t, did you forgot how the dorm auntie confiscated Sisi’s rabbit?”
“It seems hungry?”
Xu Maomao licked his tongue, indicating that he was indeed hungry.
The girls happened to have breakfast in their hands, seeing that he was docile, they bravely broke the steamed buns and ham sausages for him to eat.
Every time Xu Maomao took a bite, they let out a cry of surprise.
[Gained the love value from Yang Mingzhu +150]
[Gained the love value from Dong Bing +150]
[Gained the love value from Xu Xiangxiang +100]
….
Girls had a cute heart that loved small animals, and one breakfast was enough for him to earn three thousand likes. If it weren’t for the urging of the class bell, they would be reluctant to leave.
But Xu Maomao didn’t feel comfortable eating this meal. After all, it was something humans ate, and it tasted a little heavy for cats.
After eating, he felt thirsty, so he ran to the water room and used his claws to turn on the tap to drink water. The water room was specially used to fetch hot water for the students, the closer to the outside the colder it was, but it was still hot to the mouth, Xu Maomao drank a few staggering sips, but his tender little tongue was still burned red.
He came out to look for food on time for three meals a day. Although there was no problem with eating enough, the quality was completely incomparable with Shen Yu’s.
Shen Yu…
Xu Maomao said these two words silently and twitched his nose lightly.
He must be worried about Oscar, right? Will he continue to find him? It’s a pity that the male god didn’t know that the real uncle cat had already gone to play, and it was Xu Maomao who lived in the cat now.
Thinking back to the time he bit Shen Yu, Xu Maomao felt very sorry, and wanted to change back into a human form to make it up to him.
In order to earn love points as soon as possible, he abandoned moral integrity and carefully licked his hair as clean as possible. When he had nothing to do, he stayed below the girls’ dormitory, meowing at them courteously.
It was really not easy to act cute, because sometimes the dorm aunt would drive him away.
He avoided the aunt like he was hiding from the city management and worked hard to patrol the door of each dormitory building.
On the first day, the girls just fed him. On the second day, people started taking pictures of him.
Xu Maomao dozed off, thinking about taking a nap, but when he saw them showing their phones, he stood up professionally and posed for them to take pictures.
There were very few heroic cats in his mind, and after much deliberation, there were only lucky cats. So Xu Maomao posed most often as the lucky cat pose, relying on his cuteness, he had also won a lot of hearts.
“Wow, it knows how to pose for the camera!”
“Why was its owner willing to throw it away?”
“Why don’t I discuss it with Mama and let’s take it home and raise it.”
Xu Maomao was startled and meowed while running away. Another person would probably drag him to get neutered, and he didn’t dare to dig a hole for himself.
“Oh, why did it run away?”
“It’s so cute when it runs~~”
“Haha, Xiao Li, you smile like an idiot~”
“Hey, look at Weibo, Qiao Lingfeng posted a missing cat notice!? It’s on hot search!”
“Look at this cat…”
“Is it a bit like the one just now…”
“It’s not very similar, Qiao Lingfeng’s cat looks very small~” “
“Whatever, let’s try to send him a private message.”
“Okay, let’s go, let’s go to class first.”
“It’s almost late! Don’t play with your phone anymore!”
Xu Maomao ran so fast that he didn’t hear the following conversation, but for some reason, he kept listening to notifications of love value increasing. The love value was rising, although the amount was small, the ids were also inexplicable, such as:
[from the snow under the starry sky +2]
[from the woman from the Feng family’s love value +5]
[from the cloud love value +2]
….
Xu Maomao was at a loss, then he guessed that it might be because of his photos being circulated in the girls’ dormitory. Anyway, the increase in these love values did not require him to work hard, so he could enjoy it.
In this way, he stayed in his alma mater for two days and one night without incident, and his love value surged to more than 30,000, and he was finally barely considered a well-off family in the red envelope group.
Although he was sitting on tens of thousands of assets, he didn’t dare to squander, and just kept patiently waiting for Dr. Mi to come back out in the arena.
Moreover, he was faintly worried that if the weather was cold, student activities would be reduced, and he might not be able to catch a meal, so he would definitely have to grab more canned food from Rice.
The days of wandering outside were so hard, and every penny of love value was worth saving.
On the third night, Xu Maomao wanted to sneak into the teaching building just like the previous two days, but he found that the building was closed early.
When he ran to other teaching buildings, he found that all the doors were closed early.
Xu Maomao suddenly remembered the tradition of the school. Today was Friday, and the teaching areas would be closed one hour earlier, and only the library would be open.
But the library was more strictly guarded, and it was impossible for him to get in.
In desperation, he approached a girls’ dormitory, and first squatted outside to see if any girls were willing to take him in.
It was a pity that he waited and waited, but their hurried figures passed by, and no one dared to lead the cat squatting in the corner.
Couples said goodbye downstairs in twos and threes, and there were fewer and fewer people. Xu Maomao decided to sneak in while the night was frosty.
He took aim at a female classmate carrying four jugs of boiling water, and planned to use those jugs to cover up and hide the truth.
The female classmate didn’t realize it, as she was talking on the phone with her mobile phone placed on her shoulder while carrying four pots of water.
Xu Maomao followed behind her, shrinking into her shadow as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, just as he stepped in with one of his front paws, the thick hand of the dormitory aunt who knew everything fell from the sky, grabbed him by the neck, and carried him out.
“Lock the door when you go in and out! Don’t let cats and dogs enter the building!” the dorm aunt yelled angrily.
Xu Maomao meowed aggrievedly, and the aunt waved her hand to signal him to go away.
Xu Maomao didn’t give up and wanted to find other dormitories, but was caught and thrown out by several aunts one by one.
Regardless of their age, the aunts were as vigorous as martial arts masters. There was so much to be afraid of, such as grappling hands or Tai Chi.
One of the dormitory aunts said to him: “Little cat, don’t bother. A few months ago, wild cats ran in and scratched a lot of people, so now the control is stricter, you know?”
Meow.
“Hey, you don’t understand either.” The dorm aunt sighed and rubbed her hands, it was so cold that she wanted to go back into the dorm to keep warm.
But after walking two steps, she felt sorry for the lonely and dejected cat, so she went into the dorm, took a cardboard box, put some old clothes in it, built a temporary nest and hid it in a secret corner.
“Little cat, I can only help you till here, come in quickly.”
Xu Maomao meowed at her.
Thanks. Anyway, I have a nest tonight.
He retracted into that crude nest, still shivering from the cold. In desperation, he ate the remaining mouthfuls of high-grade canned food, trying to resist the late night frost.
Fortunately, the puppet cat had thick hair. Although it was cold, it could barely fall asleep in a daze.
However, in the early hours of the morning, it began to snow.
The first snow in City B came so unexpectedly. Although Xu Maomao’s nest was covered, it was exposed to the damp and cold air, and the moisture brought by the snow aggravated the burden on the body. He was cold to the point of freezing, and even though the cans were good enough to keep out the cold, he still kept sneezing and had a runny nose.
It was only four or five o’clock in the morning, the students hadn’t gotten up at all, and the teaching building was not open as well. It would take at least three or four hours for him to have a heater to use, but by then the whole cat may be frozen.
Finally it occurred to him that there was one more place that might be open—the dining hall kitchen. There was a tent there, which was specially used to store bicycles for employees, because it was warmer near the kitchen, and the only problem was that there were mice.
Xu Maomao was afraid of mice, especially those fat mice in the kitchen who were as long as people’s arms. They were not only hairy, they also moved very fast, and they were extremely aggressive.
But right now there was no choice.
He bit the nest made of cardboard boxes and walked towards the back kitchen of the dining hall.
The cardboard box was too heavy for him. As he walked and rested, the snow fell on his back, covering most of the gray hair on his body.
Because of the low temperature, the carton became very brittle and was torn in two during the dragging process, making it unusable.
Xu Maomao stared blankly at his only heating tool, the whole cat was so cold that it wanted to cry.
There was a deep longing in his heart, wanting to go back. But thinking of that knife, he dared not make this decision.
Raising his small head, he glanced at the sky, the sun was slowly tearing through the deep night, thinking that it would not be cold soon and he could sneak into the teaching building soon, Xu Maomao decided to abandon his nest.
He randomly found a sunny corner, huddled into a small ball, and just fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, a shadow blocked the faint morning light, and someone picked him up.
The warm embrace carried a familiar smell, Xu Maomao was startled awake suddenly, but when he looked up, he saw the obvious large gauze stickers on the hands holding him.
The low and hoarse voice of the visitor suppressed the excitement of finding what he had lost again.
“Finally found you.”
