CH 7.2

The SUV was fast as lightning, jolting without stop, Song Bei turned his head and saw the Bai Xia Xia that had curled up to sleep, and could not help but laugh: “This little fellow is the true hero.”

“Without it and that tiger, it’s hard to say how the situation would’ve been.”

Guo Chao Ming looked at Bai Xia Xia’s soft belly that rose and fell, Just looking at the gentle and soft fur makes it seem very good to the touch.

“Xiao Mi?”

“Kitty?”

Guo Chao Ming tentatively called out two times, Bai Xia Xia was sleeping deeply, not showing signs of waking up.

He instantly bared a very big smile, ran to crouch in front of Bai Xia Xia, very carefully extended his hand to touch the small cat’s round head, and then stroked Bai Xia Xia’s coiled fluffy tail too.

The little cat instinctively collected its own tail to hug it.

Song Bei literally felt that he was hopeless[1]: “Are you stealing?”

“…cough, cough.” The Guo Chao Ming that noticed in hindsight that he was overly foolish…: “This little guy is too intelligent, doesn’t allow touching, doesn’t allow hugging, can’t I even take advantage of it sleeping to touch a bit ah.”

“Be careful you make it wake up from your touch, getting up to scratch you.”

Just as Song Bei’s words fell, the sleeping little cat seemed to have felt like something was on its head, shaking its head in a flutter.

Scaring Guo Chao Ming so much that he hurriedly retracted his paw.

Practically going back to his own original seat in a second, sitting upright.

Movements very swift, causing one to be stunned.

Song Bei ?

Lu Jianhua ?

However, Bai Xia Xia only lifted her head, without even opening her eyes, leisurely stretched, flipped her body to curl up into a bundle once again, and fell back asleep again.

This time, she even protected her belly that was left exposed inside, not letting other people look.

While Guo Chao Ming was largely letting out a breath of relief, he smacked his lips regretfully.

Song Bei… looking at his subordinate’s appearance of as if facing a big enemy, he felt both funny and vexed: “Look at how scared you were, isn’t it only a cat?”

“It can’t even beat you.”

“Colonel, you don’t understand.” Guo Chao Min argued confidently, with the attitude of an experienced person who very much understood: “When we raise a cat, we also need to look at our sight fate. Mimi did not fall in love at first sight with me, but it can nurture fondness for me through familiarity ah, so long as it has a favorable impression of me, and everybody’s personality is compatible, maybe it’ll become willing to let me take it home to raise it. I can’t be exposed, I need to try to display my splendidness, gentleness, and perfection.”

Song Bei ???!

Lu Jianhua …

“Deputy Captain Guo understands a lot.” Lu Jianhua had an expression of worship, drily praising, “Even knowing how to raise a cat.”

No wonder he’s the second person I worship.

With someone rooting for him, and with Guo Chao Ming originally being a chatterbox, he started to talk non-stop, talking about his experiences raising cats, how to hook stray cats, how to raise cats until they’re shiny as oil and smooth as water, and very solemnly telling Lu Jianhua, wait for me to coax Xiao Mi to my home and then I’ll let you touch.

Lu Jianhua was very expectant. He ran back and forth two rounds but was not able to touch even once. It was fine if it was other cats, but Xiao Mi was different.

He believed that this cat was extraordinary, Who knows if I’ll get lucky from touching it.

Song Bei … “If you so much as transferred some of this experience and mind into finding a wife, it wouldn’t have been delayed until now! Still a bachelor, causing me to have to worry for you the whole day.”

“If you can even lie to a cat, why can’t you deceive to take a wife back home?” Song Bei resented him for failing to meet expectations[2], This bunch of disappointing trash!

To not even be able to get a wife! What can I count on you all for?!

Guo Chao Ming …

Bai Xia Xia was sleeping half-consciously, by her ears, a vague, distant sound was seemingly heard.

“Qin Xiao has been successfully taken out of danger, congratulations to kitty, for accomplishing the achievement of saving a life, you have obtained 50 achievement points.”

“Healing Cat System is about to start; the countdown is 8 hours.”

Tick tock.

As the second hand turned across the clock dial, Bai Xia Xia dazedly opened her eyes.

Her head was very dizzy, the sleep had clouded her consciousness.

Once she opened her eyes, a flashy, bright red, eight-hours countdown poked her eyes.

?

Meow?

What trick is this, Bai Xia Xia thought that she had not completely woken up, hurriedly shaking her head.

When she looked there again, the countdown had already gone down by 20 seconds.

It was still flashing piercingly there, its position did not change, and the size of the numbers also did not change.

It’s not a figment of my imagination.

Maybe it was because she had read many kinds of transmigration novels before transmigrating, when she was really faced with a system countdown, Bai Xia Xia’s heart was calm as stagnant water, without even a hint of waves.

Healing Cat?

Is it talking about me?

Bai Xia Xia seriously thought back, finally remembering the sentence about the system starting when she was sleeping. I saved Qin Xiao, accomplished the achievement of saving a life, and that’s why the system was started!

Glancing at the countdown that had gone down three minutes, Bai Xia Xia extended her paw to poke.

A paw with rosy meat pads passed through the illusory numbers, Bai Xia Xia nodded her head, it was just the same as she had thought.

Illusory stuff.

It was still early for the starting time, Bai Xia Xia withdrew her mind, not paying attention to it anymore.

She stood up, noticing that she was still lying in the SUV. The car was completely empty, Song Bei and the others had disappeared.
