Chapter 148: This Cat Can Actually Talk
A group of people gathered around her.
Lady Calico was already used to this. Because of her good looks, she often attracted attention while walking down the street, with many people looking at her or even trying to play with her.
Recently, while catching mice in Changjing, she had lined up the mice she caught each day, and people from those households would gather around and watch her with amazement. This had made her feel a bit proud.
At this moment, a group of servants and attendants parted to reveal a young man who came forward. He lowered his head to examine Lady Calico, his eyes lighting up as he exclaimed, “Indeed, she is extraordinarily beautiful and has an extraordinary presence!”
“I was surprised when I first saw her, too.”
“Let me touch her...” The young man squatted down, his eyes shining with excitement as he reached out to touch Lady Calico.
Lady Calico leaned back slightly, avoiding his touch.
But it was only a hair’s breadth away, so the young man extended his hand again. Lady Calico took a couple of steps back, keeping the distance the same, still avoiding his touch. It remained just a bit too far.
The young man smiled. “How interesting.”
