'What's going on?'
'I'm back, but Xiaojiu didn't even greet me. She just turned and ran?'
'Did the little one get into some trouble?'
Yang Qi stopped, not opening the door right away.
Then, he heard a strange noise from the backyard. There was a RUSTLE in the grass at the foot of the hill as a small animal quickly scurried away.
'A stray cat?'
Yang Qi raised an eyebrow.
'Did Xiaojiu make friends with a stray cat during the two days I was gone?'
'It can't be that she got mixed up with that Xiaohuangmao.'
'Xiaojiu has an awakened intelligence; there's no way she'd be interested in an ordinary stray.'
'That leaves one other possibility: she made a new female friend?'
'And during the two days I was away, she even brought this "friend" home…'
At this thought, Yang Qi smiled to himself, deciding not to expose her.
