Seeing that her cat had run over to someone else's balcony and had gotten caught, Ursule gasped, clasped her hands together, and apologized with a pious expression. "I'm very sorry! Kisses must've caused you trouble. I'll take it back from you right away. Um... Can you please hand it over here?"
The balconies were only 5 feet away, so Ursule stretched out her hands, wanting to grab the cat directly from Zephir.
Zephir did not say anything, picked up the cat, and handed it over.
Ursule took it from him and immediately took it into her embrace. "Thank you. I'm really sorry if it's caused you any inconvenience."
She then turned around and patted the cat in her arms. "If you run around again, I'll bring you to a vet and get you sterilized!"
Kisses meowed as if it was protesting.
Zephir flicked his sleeves, brushing off the cat hair that had gotten onto his pajamas, turned back, and entered the room.
The next day, Zephir went downstairs in his loose silk pajamas as the homestay would prepare a buffet-style breakfast for its guests.
The homestay owner was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper. Seeing that Zephir was brewing a cup of coffee, he commented, "After such a long hiatus, your circadian rhythm is still rather stable." Zephir took the coffee, walked up to the couch, and sat down. "I've already gotten used to it."
Sandwiches, egg breakfasts, and nutritious oatmeal could be seen set up on the dining table.
However, this was the breakfast the owner prepared, and the buffet for the guests could be found in the restaurant located in the backyard.
The homestay owner turned the page of the newspaper. "The breakfast that I make is relatively light. I'm afraid that it won't suit your taste."
"That's fine. I've been feeling rather heaty recently."
"Oh, then it's time for you to find yourself a woman." The homestay owner laughed.
Zephir ignored him.
Something rubbed against his ankle out of the blue, and he was startled for a moment. He looked under the table and saw a fluffy creature crawling out from underneath the table. "Meow!"
"Kisses, why are you hiding below the table again?" The homestay owner heard a meow and lowered his head, only to see Kisses underneath the tablecloth.
He quickly put down the newspaper, picked Kisses up, and kept it in his arms. "Are you hungry? Didn't your master feed you anything before she went out?" Zephir frowned. "This cat..."
The homestay owner caressed Kisses on the back. "It's Ursule's pet cat. Her family doesn't allow her to own a pet back home, and she can't bring it to school, so she could only leave it with me. But it's like a lucky charm of this homestay. All the guests who have stayed here like it very much."
"Meow!" Kisses rubbed its head against the hand of the owner and even licked it, which made him chuckle. "This little fella is adorable and obedient, and its main attraction is that it's not afraid of strangers. Do you want to hold it?"
"No, thanks." Zephir seemed very reluctant.
The homestay owner laughed out loud. "What's wrong? Are you actually afraid of some cat fur? Dude, you don't know how self-healing pets can be, do you? Seriously, owning a pet as a companion can sometimes be even better than having a woman do the same. Not only will it make you feel happier, but it'll also be by your side all the time.
"Even though it might piss you off occasionally, it really makes you feel relaxed physically and mentally when it gets clingy around you."
Zephir's eyes moved, but he did not utter a single word.
"Mr. Quigg!" Ursule walked in with a bag on her back, holding a huge bag of cat food in her hand. "I've run out of cat food, so I just rushed out to buy some. Kisses must be hungry as it hasn't eaten anything this morning."
Yale Quigg, the homestay owner, put Kisses down. "I knew it. It comes down here when we're serving breakfast. It must be starving." Kisses sashayed up to Ursule's feet, and Ursule squatted down and stroked it. "You must be hungry. I'll feed you now, don't worry." While saying that, Ursule found Kisses' small bowl in its cat house and poured the cat food into the automatic feeding machine. She also took a sausage out, cut it into several pieces with a knife, and added it to the cat food.
