Chapter 108: Bad naming genes.
The dog was not vigilant when she approached, the cat however hissed two times. It had kittens to protect after all. Mei Mei opened her bag and retrieved a second sausage which she have to the dog. The dog bit off half and pushed the other half towards the cat.
The actions made Mei Mei scoff. "Brother, being self sacrificing is why you look like this and I know because I looked like this not so long ago. What is this, a case of forbidden love? Dogs and cats are supposed to be enemies you know. You should stick to your own kind...miss cat here has kittens, obviously she knows what I am talking about."
The dog blankly stared at Mei Mei, whining in response with its eyes on her bag.
She got a third sausage and gave it to the dog. Her questions did not stop. "Are you two best friends that made a life and death pact? Is that why you are sticking together and sharing food?" She looked at the cat and said, "You know he would eat you in a period of famine, right?"
"Why are you dissecting their friendship?" C4 asked her.
Mei Mei sighed, she stood up and looked around. The alley was empty and small, it served as a path for people to walk through. It seemed that number was not big enough or else the animals would not like skin and bones.
She felt really torn when she considered just moving along and minding her own business. How many times had she told her mother to stop bringing home strays when she was growing up?
It was not because she did not like animals but because their home had turned into an animal farm. Neighbors used to call it the farmhouse.
The dog whined and approached her, in its eyes she saw a plea that tugged on the strings of her heart. It was still hungry, as was the cat. But, even if they filled their bellies today, tomorrow would be another day of starvation.
"Mingzhu will probably be excited if I take you back." she mumbled.
