<h4>Chapter 256: A Seesaw to Friendship</h4>
Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As always, small talk couldn’t bother Fina. Walking elegantly, it came to the gate of the kindergarten and looked in through the fence.
It was a small school, a local kindergarten that serviced the neighborhood. When many of the residents moved out, the kindergarten soon closed due tock of students.
The door was shut. Honestly, locks were not a problem for cats because they could easily jump through fences. Fina didn’t bother because the iron fence looked exceptionally dirty. The green paint had chipped off for the most part and the bottom of the iron bars were full of brownish rust. On top of the rust, there was also sand and dust. If Fina jumped over the fence, it would get dirty for sure.
Fina was a neat freak. It was not afraid of the fence or stairs. However, Fina cared too much about how its fur looked, so it wouldn’t risk getting it dirty. All it wanted was to take a rxing walk.
Snowy Li ran up from behind, its long fluffy hair like cotton candy.
“My Queen, I aming!”
It caught up to Fina breathing heavily and looked inside the kindergarten because Fina was looking in there.
“My Queen, do you want to get in?” Snowy Li asked.
Fina shook its head, “Nope. I don’t want to get dirty.”
Snowy Li almost said out loud, “Don’t worry! I will lick you clean!”
However, Snowy Li was smart enough to keep the words to itself. If it really told Fina, Fina might’ve gotten mad and left.
When Snowy Li lived in Yuanhua Building and directed other cats to steal, it got into the habit of searching for security bugs at any location. Looking up, it surprisingly found that the gate was only halfway shut, notpletely closed. It pushed the gate open with its paw.
“My Majesty, please!” Snowy Li said happily.
Fina looked at it with surprise. Encouragingly, it nodded its head and stepped in.
It was a small yard with weeds everywhere. It had been cold, so there were no mosquitos.
“My Majesty, do you want to y?” Snowy Li stood next to a seesaw, looking at Fina longingly.
“How?” Fina nced at the long board, confused.
Seeing that Fina was interested, Snowy Li exined, “My Majesty, you stay on one side and I am on the other side. We alternatively thrust against the ground with our legs and then we will go up and down.”
At first, Fina was going to reject the idea. However, seeing how excited Snowy Li was and thinking about the conversation between Zhang Zian and Snowy Li, Fina realized it had been too harsh on Snowy Li. Fina agreed, “Okay. We can y for a little bit.”
“Wait!” Snowy Li saw that the seesaw was too dirty, so it picked up some clean leaves and put them on Fina’s side first, then its own side.
Fina was happy. Zhang Zian was never that considerate, and he alwaysined that Fina was too picky.
“I am going to get on first. My Majesty, you are strong. You can jump up after I get on.” Snowy Li knew that it wouldn’t make it up to the seat if it let Fina sit on the seesaw first.
Snowy Li sat on one side of the seesaw. The other side was tilting up high.
Fina jumped up and lightlynded on the other end.
Their weight was about the same. Snowy Li’s side tilted up as Fina jumped on.
It was an exciting new experience to Fina, and although it couldn’t really exin the reason, Fina felt like it started to have a connection with Snowy Li from the up and down of the seesaw.
Screaming excitedly, Snowy Li passed its passion onto Fina through the seesaw. It was thrusting the ground harder and harder so the seesaw was going up and down faster and faster.
It was noon. Most people were home eating lunch. No one was in thene at the time. Otherwise, people might be shocked to see the two cats having so much fun on a seesaw.
Friendship was a special thing. It may build up through working together for a big goal, or simply by having fun on a seesaw.
The kindergarten was once a ce full of warmth andughter. On the yground, there were slides, seesaws, and swings. Kids had fun there under teachers’ supervision and gradually started building their most pure friendships.
The kids would leave kindergarten someday and let life take them in different directions. However, Snowy Li already knew that Fina was its destiny. It would follow Fina forever.
Snowy Li started to get dizzy and almost fell off the seesaw. Seeing that, Fina slowed down and the seesaw finally stopped.
“My Majesty! This is so much fun!” Snowy Li was thrilled that Fina agreed to get on the seesaw. Since Fina had considerately slowed down when Snowy Li felt dizzy, the pretty white cat was on top of the world.
Fina had fun too. It didn’t say so because it had to keep its pride in front of Snowy Li. Jumping down from the seat, it headed towards the ssroom with its tail whipping.
Since the outside gate wasn’t locked, Fina learned the trick. It pushed on the ssroom door and the door opened. Fina stepped back immediately as the door opened because a ton of dust fell down.
Snowy Li came forward and waved its paw to clear the dust for Fina.
The ssroom was dark, but this was not a problem for cats.
By the time the dust had settled, Fina already had a good idea of what the ssroom looked like. Some small chairs and desks wereying around. Tons of colorful small toys were stacked in one corner, which were extremely dirty. An award form on which teachers put red stars to represent the award was on the wall. Some red stars had fallen down on the ground and the writing was vague after all this time.
There was a thickyer of dust on the ground and papers everywhere. It looked like this kindergarten had been abandoned for a long while, and seldom did peoplee in.
Looking at the dirty indoors, Snowy Li said to Fina, “My Majesty, let’s go back. It is dirty inside.”
Fina nodded. There was no reason for them to go in.
As they were about to leave, a breeze came through. Some papers were picked up by the wind and danced in the air. One flew straight at Fina’s face. Fina was fast. It swatted down the paper with one paw. The paper was pinned on the ground.
Fina noticed the paper was a page from a diary. There was a picture drawn in colorful crayons with a line of children’s handwriting underneath.
There was a little boy in the picture. A small circle represented his head. A few small short lines represented his hair and arge oval represented his body. Extending from the body, there were four long lines, which were the arms and legs.
The picture was titled, “My Mom”.
