"Cats are more troublesome." Fang Yi thought for a while after listening to Du Qianze's words and then said, "Some people think that feeding cats raw meat and bones is good for cats' health, but some people think that raw meat and bones are unhealthy. So the cats in the shop all eat cat food. Some cats also ask the dogs in the store for some steamed bread to eat. Since they don't ask for much, I don't care about them.

"Your cat Da Bai is in good health, so just continue to feed it cat food, and give it some canned food occasionally. Don't spoil it too much."

After lunch, Du Qianze continued to help Fang Yi cut and wash vegetables, and helped Fang Yi make steamed bread. Although Fang Yi said that he had been making steamed bread for several years, the steamed bread he made was still ugly. When put together with the steamed bread made by Du Qianze, it was simply horrible.

When the steamed bread came out of the pot, Du Qianze was very sensitive to feel that something was wrong. When he turned around, there were three rows of dogs standing at the door, led by Naima, and they were neatly lined up. Each dog had its own bowl in its mouth.

A big yellow cat came from behind and stood in front of Naima. It casually placed Naima's bowl in front of itself, as if it wouldn't leave unless given the steamed bread.

"Naima is really going to become a spirit." Du Qianze sighed.

"It's not going to become a spirit, maybe Naima really has become a spirit." Fang Yi took a plate and put it in front of the big yellow cat, then returned Naima's bowl to him, and began to give out steamed bread in turn, one in each bowl.

When the steamed bread was put away, Naima barked, and the dog behind him also barked, then left with the own bowl in their mouths.

The big yellow cat put the steamed bread on the plate into Naima's bowl, then pushed the plate to Fang Yi, got up and followed Naima.

"They are thanking you, knowing that you made steamed bread for them today." Fang Yi stood behind Du Qianze and said, "Look, animals are wonderful. If you treat them a little better, they will thank you and will not dislike the small amount you give them."

"Yes." Du Qianze nodded. This was why more and more people keep pets. Humans' minds change too quickly and were too hard to guess. You never know what they want. Animals were much simpler. If they liked something, they like it. If they didn't like something, they didn't like it. Moreover, their feelings towards human were always consistent. You didn't have to worry about them stabbing you in the back at any time.

"Isn't this steamed bread you made for dogs? Can cats eat it too?" Du Qianze asked the yellow cat as it walked away. Fang Yi said that this kind of steamed bread was not good for cats, but the steamed bread he just gave to yellow cat looks quite big.

"That's yellow cat. It's the first animal that Naima picked up after I picked up Naima. She has a deep relationship with Naima. She came to ask for steamed bread, probably to feed Naima. If you don't believe me, go and see. She must be guarding Naima's lunch box now."

It was boring anyway, so Du Qianze actually went to see it. He found that the dogs who just came to ask for steamed bread put their lunch boxes in their usual places and buried their heads in chewing the steamed bread inside. The yellow cat squatted beside Naima, watching Naima chew the steamed bread, and pushed aside the little puppy and kitten that came after the smell, not letting them eat the food in Naima's bowl.

"Naima has a good temper. Cats and dogs can bully him. Even a kitten can take food from his bowl. Da Huang knows that Naima likes to eat steamed bread. She is afraid that other dogs will come to snatch Naima's steamed bread, so she comes to guard." Fang Yi stood beside Du Qianze and said to him.

Du Qianze was silent for a long time. After saying goodbye to Da Bai, he stood outside the shop for a long time before leaving. Before going upstairs, he bought two cans of beer.

Da Bai was not at home, but the moment he opened the door, Du Qianze seemed to hear a cat's cry.

Without Da Bai, the house was much quieter.

Facing the gradually lit lights outside, Du Qianze opened a beer, drank half of it while looking at his phone, repeatedly opened his phone, and half an hour later, Du Qianze drank the last sip of beer, as if he had made up his mind, and clicked on the number in the address book.

After a few seconds of ringing, the phone was picked up.

"Mom, it's me." There was no one on the other end. Du Qianze took a long time to spit out these words with great difficulty.

There was some noise on the other end of the phone, which sounded very lively, but the person who answered the phone did not speak. Du Qianze waited for a long time, only to hear a sigh from the other end, and then the phone was hung up.

It still... didn’t work.

Du Qianze lay back on the sofa, covering his eyes with one hand.

It had been several years since he came out, and his family's attitude towards him was still the same as before.

It had been more than half a month since Da Fei was taken away. On this day, Fang Yue finally saw Da Fei appear in "Super TV Shows" on the internet. The original opening and dance of the show were gone, and Da Fei sang instead.

The gimmick of this show had been announced long ago. Cai Ya also specially posted a video of Da Fei fighting with Guifei, which triggered widespread discussion on Weibo.

On the day the show was broadcast, Fang Yue and the people in the pet shop waited by the computer to see Da Fei. After all, Da Fei had been here for two years and was considered the mascot of the shop.

The show started. Ting Shan came out first, said a few words of opening words, blew a whistle, and Da Fei flew to his arm.

Ting Shan whispered a few words to Da Fei, and then Da Fei sang a song. With the background music playing, Da Fei's voice didn't sound so bad. The picture of the parakeet singing looked unexpectedly harmonious.

"Ting Shan must have told Da Fei he would beat it. I saw the lip shape." Fang Yi suddenly said.

"I think so too." Fang Yue nodded.

On the other hand, Hai Yang knew that Da Fei was going to be on the show, and he also buffered the video in advance, and showed it to Du Qianze during his break.

After Da Fei finished singing, Ting Shan originally wanted to let it leave the stage, but the people in the audience were excited after listening to Da Fei's live performance, and shouted for Da Fei not to leave.

Ting Shan didn't want Da Fei to stay, worried that Da Fei was too mean, and when the word "fight" was mentioned, Da Fei would sing, and it would take two minutes. The show was not long, and it couldn't afford to waste these two minutes.
