It wasn't unusual to see stray cats in the city.
The young people in the office even secretly fed them.
That's what he told himself, but as Zou Cong drove, he couldn't stop thinking about the cat he'd seen perched on his car roof.
He'd only glanced at it a couple of times.
It was solid black, and its two eyes seemed to glow.
Zou Cong couldn't help but think, 'A black cat... that's not a good omen, is it?'
Some of the random stuff he'd looked up online last night had said that black cats were a sign of misfortune.
Zou Cong gritted his teeth, his hand instinctively reaching for the wooden box on the passenger seat.
He opened it. Inside was a golden Buddha statue.
It was cool to the touch. As Zou Cong stroked it, his nerves calmed slightly, and he reassured himself that he was just overthinking things.
Besides, he'd even gotten a golden Buddha.
And Jin'an Temple was known to be very effective.
Navigating the congested traffic, Zou Cong finally got home close to ten at night.
