    The moment Snowy Li saw Fina, its arrogant attitude disappeared. Snowy Li was so panicked that it didn’t know what to do. It was not sure when Fina had arrived, nor did it know whether Fina had heard its conversation with Zhang Zian. Recollecting what it had said a moment ago, Snowy Li was so embarrassed that it wanted to hide itself under the ground.


    Fina looked at Snowy Li and Zhang Zian and said,”What the hell are you doing out here and noting upstairs? And I had to trouble myself to look for you!”


    “Your… Your Majesty…” Snowy Li was so afraid that it couldn’t raise its head to look at Fina or even finish its sentence.


    Zhang Zian covered for it, “Snowy Li was afraid of getting its fur dirty, so it didn’t want to go upstairs. You can’t me it, for it was born with four short legs…”


    “Shut up! You are the one born with four short legs!” Snowy Li cursed at Zhang Zian. Snowy Li knew that Zhang Zian was merely stating the fact that its legs were short, but it couldn’t stand it when he said that in front of Fina. And Snowy Li was determined to punish him when it got the chance!


    Fina stared at Zhang Zian to see whether he was telling the truth, and then it noticed the bamboo basket on the ground, “Then why aren’t youing up, either? And what’s this basket for?”


    Zhang Zian opened up his two hands innocently, “I asked Snowy Li to stay inside and bring it upstairs, but it didn’t believe me… I don’t know what to do.”


    Snowy Li nced at Fina withplicated feelings. It had asked Fina for help a moment ago. Though it didn’t expect that Fina would really agree to let Snowy Li lean on its back while Fina climbed upstairs, Fina just left without it and didn’t say anything to encourage orfort it. And Snowy Li felt so upset. Snowy Li felt like it meant nothing in Fina’s heart, so it was thinking about leaving Fina.


    Fina looked at Snowy Li and asked seriously, “Why didn’t you agree to let him bring you up?”


    “Because… Because…” Snowy Li’s ws were twisting nervously. It was using its ws to scratch all over its body, which was itchy as if bugs were crawling on it.


    Finally, Snowy Li made up its mind — it turned its head and said, “Because I don’t want to go upstairs! It looks nice outside, and I want to go out and y.”


    Snowy Li narrowed its eyes and kept staring outside, pretending to be enjoying the autumn scene….


    Zhang Zian waited for Fina’s reaction. After all, Fina was Snowy Li’s master.


    Fina didn’t hesitate. Instead, it went down the stairs briskly, “In that case, I will also go out and y.”


    “Really?”


    Snowy Li was surprised, “Your Majesty… You want to go out and y with me?”


    “Why not?” Fina didn’t notice Snowy Li’s astonishment, “I don’t like this building, it’s deteriorated and everything seems like it’s dying. The autumn scenery is great, so I’d better go outside and enjoy it.”


    While Fina was talking, it didn’t stop its movements. And soon, it had walked past Snowy Li and left the corridor. Bathed in the downy sunshine, Fina looked back at Snowy Li, “Are youing or not?”


    Snowy Li felt so happy that its blue eyes were filled with a humid mist, as if tears were about to drop.


    “Yes, yes, I’ming. I’ll follow you forever, Your Majesty.” Snowy Li kept abreast of Fina quickly, and hadpletely forgot about its tantrum a moment ago. It smiled at Fina. “Your Majesty, it’s windy today, and the corridor was so dirty. Do you want me to lick your fur?”


    “I’m fine, let’s just walk around; there’s no need to lick my fur.” Fina declined it as always.


    Snowy Li was a little bit disappointed. But it thought that if everything was faring as it wished for, it probably was in a dream.


    “Then let me clear the way for you.” It ran in front of Fina, “Your Majesty, this way please. It’s too dirty that way, I’ve spotted some rotten leaves.”


    Fina didn’t need Snowy Li to clear its way at all. On the contrary, the clumsy Snowy Li almost tripped over rocks or got its fur hooked on tree branches because it kept turning around to look at Fina while walking. Snowy Li had a painful expression when injured by rocks or trees, but it just kept currying favor with Fina anyway.


    “You guys, just stay around this area; don’t go too far away.” Zhang Zian reminded them from behind.


    “You jerk! We’ll go away as far as we can!” Snowy Li rolled its eyes at him, “Don’t even bother us while we are enjoying our trip.”


    Zhang Zian was not worried about their safety. In fact, he was worried that some people who didn’t know about these cats’ temperaments might provoke the cats and get themselves hurt.


    They left the area and backtracked to the alley. Snowy Li looked left and right. On their right side was the road they took when they came to this building, while the left side was a road leading to the other side of the alley. “Your Majesty, which way should we go?”


    Fina looked around from side to side, and noticed the deserted kindergarten at the end of the alley on their left side.


    “That way,” said Fina. Fina was a little intrigued by the humans’ kindergarten. Snowy Li was intended to go to the right side, for it wanted to see the Cosyers wearing full makeup and sexy clothes once again. But since Fina had given the order, Snowy Li was happy to oblige. It would follow Fina no matter where Fina went. Besides, when it left with that jerk Zhang Zianter, they would go back on that road anyway and it would see the Cosyers then.


    Snowy Li made up its mind and went to the left side.


    “Your Majesty, I’m clearing the way for you.”


    Thetter half of the alley looked more deste than the former half. No seniors were seen ying cards or chess; only a few stores that sold hardware, hot beverages, and groceries were seen on the sides of the road, and an old publicvatory was emitting an awfully foul smell.


    “Yuck! So stinky!” Snowy Li raised its one of its ws and used its long fur to cover its nose, “So…so stinky!”


    Snowy Li remembered that Fina’s fur was not long, so it might be facing a rare opportunity that Fina would agree to let it touch Fina. Snowy Li quickly jumped besides Fina, “Your Majesty, may I have the honor to cover your nose for you?”


    “No need, walk past thevatory and we will get rid of the smell.” Fina estimated that the wind was blowing from the front direction, and as long as they went past thevatory, they wouldn’t suffer with the stinky smell anymore. Fina ran fast with full force, and liberated itself from the smell in no time.


    Snowy Li tried to catch up with Fina, but it forgot one of its paws was still covering its nose, so it staggered and almost fell on the ground.


    A little boy wasing out from thevatory. He was hitching up his trousers while he pointed at Snowy Li, “Dad, look, it’s a three-legged cat!”


    “Meow! Meow! Stinky boy, you are a three-legged cat!” Snowy Li spat towards the little boy. Since Fina had gone far away, Snowy Li decided to follow it instead of wasting time with the little boy.


    “Your Majesty, wait for me.”


    The little boy giggled. He didn’t understand what Snowy Li had said, he just felt it was a strange white cat that walked with three legs.


    His father came out of thevatory and patted on his head, “What were you yelling about?”


    “Dad! There was a white cat walking with three legs!” said the little boy excitedly. “Is that what a three-legged cat looks like? Mom always says you are a three-legged cat!”


    “Stop that nonsense! Hurry up, we need to go home for lunch!” The man’s face was blushed in embarrassment, and he looked at Snowy Li.


    Wasn’t that just an ordinary cat walking with four legs?


    He decided to educate his son at the dining-table when they got home. It was wrong to tell lies…
