Outside the car, rain drops began to fall like scattered pearls and hit the window, making a crisp sound.
The little animal in the blanket seemed to be interrupted by the noise. It crawled restlessly into the blanket, babbling about its dissatisfaction of being woken up.
Mond caught a glimpse of a small face hidden in the blanket in Nancy's arms and raised his hand to knock on the window. Turning around, Charlie pointed ahead. With a tacit understanding, Charlie turned on the music. The melodious violin music started, making the noises of rain softer.
The little creature on the blanket quieted down and enjoyed the music.
Casting a glance at Mond, Nancy didn't expect him to be so considerate and have a good taste.
She gently stroked the snowy hair of the little guy, and her soft hands were full of gentleness.
"I didn't expect this little creature to complain." Said Nancy with a smile.
With an impassive face, Mond said flatly, "trouble."
Nancy snorted and ignored him. She still gently touched the furry ball in her arms and covered it with the blanket that it kicked away, fearing that it would catch a cold.
The furry ball was the cat that Charlie had mentioned in the Lu Family.
They heard something was crying with fear when they came back home. It was late at night and the wind blew cold. Mond didn't intend to interfere in anything and left straight away. But except for Ron, he found the baby cat curled up, and it was shivering and wet. It was a new born baby. Ron was fond of little animals, additionally it was so weak. Thus, Ron took a blanket and wrapped it back.
Ron wanted to raise it, but Mond refused him without hesitation. Mond even didn't want him to feed the cat milk secretly.
Ron was dissatisfied and sad. He wondered why Mond didn't allow him to keep a kitten.
Mond knew what was on Ron's mind, but he didn't respond to Ron. Ron felt aggrieved and asked for the reason, but Mond gave him a weird hint by saying, "throw the cat as far away as possible and let it die. It cannot stay here, unless Nancy agrees and is willing to take care of it personally.".
When Nancy knew this, she was furious beyond their expectations.
She also kept a cat when she was in her hometown. It was a ragdoll, another kind of cat. It was said that the ragdoll was a clingy cat, and the one Nancy fed was no exception. As long as she went out, the cat would definitely wait for her at the door. It would throw itself into her arms as soon as she got home and rubbed her chin with its little head. It was cute and smart.
The cat accompanied her through primary and junior high school, almost going through her childhood. But before long, Nancy entered a key high school in M city with her excellent academic performance. Then she lived in that boarding school, unable to go home several times a year. The ragdoll had been waiting for her at home, and no matter how the family tried to feed it, it couldn't even drink a drop of water and died at last.
Hearing this, Nancy specially asked for a leave and rushed back home. She made a small tomb and buried it in her own yard. Even now when she thought of it, she was very sad.
After the cat died, Nancy had been crying for several weeks at school with red eyes every day. She didn't care if she was hungry or thirsty. Her parents knew this from their teachers and didn't want her to be sad, so they offered to buy a better pet. However, Nancy was studying in high school in another city. After high school, she had to go to college, and she went home only a few times a year. In order to concentrate on studies, she had no time to raise pets, and she had to give up raising that pet.
Since then, she didn't keep any pets because she knew that she didn't have time. Since she didn't have spare time, she would never raise a pet no matter how lonely she was. She didn't want to experience that pain again.
When Nancy thought of this, the light in her eyes darkened and she became sadder. She continued to caress the soft ball in her arms. When she looked at the cat, she would always think of her original one.
