I Can Talk To Cats

Chapter 1 : A Stormy Situation (Part One)

Translated and edited by Lime

An autumn day, during the weekend.

In the late afternoon, the urban park was very lively.

On a rare day of rest, everyone wanted to go outside and casually wander around.

The sun was in the ideal position and many locals decided to stroll at the shopping district, which was located next to the park. Parents who brought their children out to play and lovers that were on a date would subsequently stop by the fountains.

The shrewd peddlers sold toys here and some had set up small roller-skating rinks to rent out skates as a form of recreation. A child ran with a balloon while laughing, and their short, little legs were faster than their parents who chased them.

Separated from the hustle and bustle, there was a sizable fountain where the surroundings were much quieter. Here, Lin Lan was squatting, in her hand a sausage that she fed to a stray cat.

Her hair was tied back into a low ponytail and the off-white windbreaker that she wore made her appear gentle and quiet. As she watched the cat gnaw on the meat, a smile widened on her face. The sausage was slowly severed into several chunks.

Lan Lan!

Presently, a young man waved in her direction, jogging towards her from the nearby street, his steps hasty.

Lin Lan recognized the familiar voice and did not stand up, but rather, continued to slowly feed the cat. When she was almost finished, she tore the remaining sausage in half and threw the pieces to the cat. As the young man approached her, she used a wet towel to wipe her greasy fingers. Her expression was a faint smile.

You are too polite, Shao Xiuye. You were the one who suggested that I come, yet you let me stand here awkwardly for more than an hour.

Her eyebrows raised, and the pitch of her voice went up: Your behavior is very appropriate.

No, no, no, thats not it! Shao Xiuye rapidly shook his head, absolutely remorseful and ready to beg for his life: When I was on my way over here, there was an urgent matter at my company, and they required me to return to deal with it! I also sent a text message to you earlier. Lan Lan, we have been dating for so long, dont you know what kind of person I am already? Besides, I have never been late for any of our previous dates!

Lin Lan was silent and examined her boyfriend from head to toe. The two had not officially met in a while. Shao Xiuye was worthy of being praised: He had an upright figure, and his appearance was dashing. His facial features were sharply defined and he was tall. Two years prior, Lin Lan was envied by many women when he persistently courted her.

Half a year ago, he had to move locations due to a transfer from his job in the city where both of them worked and lived, to the place where his companys headquarters were located. Due to this, the two had no choice but to live in separate cities. They had been in a long-distance relationship for nearly six months already.

The man right in front of her eyes was wearing a high-quality suit. His leather shoes were polished and he had even paid attention to his hair. Lin Lan wasnt used to this appearance at all.

This this is my companys dress code. Her eyes continued to inspect him, and Shao Xiuye promptly explained, Earlier, I truly didnt have a choice. The company had me resolve a critical problem that needed to be handled. Lan Lan, I didnt purposely dress like this to meet you.

Why are you panicking? The corner of Lin Lans mouth curved up: I was only going to mention that you must appear very suave at work. There must be no shortage of girls that like you.
