Lu Xingzhi should have stopped while he was ahead. Why did he not put Moe into his military boots to be used as the cat's bed? Poor Zhou Junmin; he should hurry back to save his boots.
Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and looked at the white ball of fluff on Jiang Yao's hand carefully. He asked again, "What's it called? Does it bite?"
"This is Moe," Jiang Yao explained. "He doesn't bite. Just take a few old clothes and put them in the study room to make a temporary bed for him. Then, after school starts, he will follow me back to school."
"It's better to have a dog than a cat. A dog can look after the house, at least," Lu Xingzhi mumbled. It was obvious that he disliked the dumb cat in his hand, but since Jiang Yao liked the pet, he would not say anything about that.
As for Jiang Yao's suggestion to let the cat stay in the study, Lu Xingzhi immediately rejected her suggestion. "There are many important things in the study. He can stay in the living room."
After he said that, Lu Xingzhi glanced at Moe again. When he saw the cat's amber eyes, he was stunned. He felt as if that dumb cat had rolled his eyes at him as if he despised Lu Xingzhi.
When he took a closer look, Moe had already turned his head around. Lu Xingzhi touched the cat. Perhaps he had overthought the situation. Why would a cat look at him in contempt? A cat should not have the same emotions as humans, let alone a cat with a questionable IQ.
"Oh..." Jiang Yao nodded. Then, she watched as Lu Xingzhi returned to the bedroom to mop the floor.
Once Lu Xingzhi entered the room, Jiang Yao felt an unmistakable sense of relief. Then, Moe clawed the hands that held him and said, "Who's he calling dumb? He's the stupid one! I am a noble pet butler; how could he thinks that I am dumb?"
