Ao Ranqi had been here for so long and was very familiar with Naima's attributes. He always heard people say that the small animals in the backyard were all picked up by Naima. He was still thinking that Fang Yi was not so kind that he would only keep the small animals that Naima picked up.

"Who told you?" Fang Yi turned around and asked.

Ao Ranqi saw Fang Yi's face and hurriedly stepped back and said, "No one told me, I can see it myself. You have never brought back stray animals from outside, and there were no more cats and dogs in the backyard during Naima's absence."

Ao Ranqi had been in the backyard for a long time. When he got bored, he would count the number of cats and dogs there. Without Naima, no new members ever appeared in the backyard."

"Really? You still have time to observe. It seems that I have not arranged enough things for you. Carry the cat food and follow me." Fang Yi pointed to a large bag of cat food in the corner and said to Ao Ranqi.

Although Ao Ranqi was reluctant, he did not dare to resist what Fang Yi said, and picked up the cat food.

"Let's go." Fang Yi said, and turned around and went out first.

Ao Ranqi followed behind with difficulty, holding a large bag of cat food.

"What are you going to do?" Although the cat food was not very heavy, Ao Ranqi rarely did these things. He was tired and panting after walking for a while.

"Go feed the cats. Remember, this is your job from now on." Fang Yi answered without looking back.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Fang Yi took Ao Ranqi to the first place to feed cats. He took the cat food from Ao Ranqi. Ao Ranqi sat on the ground without caring whether it was dirty or not. He shouted at Fang Yi, "You're such a grown up, why do you care about a child like me? Didn't I just say a few words to you? Is it necessary to retaliate against me like this?"

"This is not revenge against you. You are in junior high school, and you can't even move dozens of kilograms of cat food. You are so weak. I can strangle you to death with one hand." Fang Yi said casually, as if he was joking, but Ao Ranqi didn't think so. He hurriedly stood up and retreated further.

"You... don't mess around. There are people around here. You can't get away even if you kill me." Ao Ranqi turned his head and looked around. He found that there were many people nearby, and he felt a little relieved.

"As long as you listen to me, I won't do anything. Come here." Fang Yi whispered to Ao Ranqi. Fang Yi was very good at scaring innocent children.

Ao Ranqi made sure that the people around him could run over before Fang Yi strangled him to death, and then he walked to Fang Yi tremblingly.

"Pour the cat food into these bowls." Fang Yi put the bowls he found in order, handed the cat food to Ao Ranqi, and then left.

"Humph!" After Fang Yi walked away, Ao Ranqi snorted at Fang Yi. This guy only knew how to bully children.

Before Ao Ranqi finished pouring the cat food, Fang Yi came back from outside again, carrying a bucket of water, and found a water dispenser from the corner and replaced the clean water inside.

Fang Yi took Ao Ranqi to seven or eight cat feeding spots. The cat food gradually went down. Ao Ranqi was not so tired holding the cat food. The doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger. Finally, he couldn't help asking Fang Yi, "Your pet shop is so big, why don't you take all these stray cats back?" After saying that, he added in his heart that he didn't only raise the small animals that Naima picked up. There were so many stray cats in the park, why didn't you take them back!

"Cats and dogs are different. Some cats aren't very friendly, especially those that have been strays for a long time—they're wild and may not want to be kept as pets, staying indoors all day just eating and sleeping. They're more active and need more space to move around.

This cat food is for kittens or cats that occasionally want to take it easy. Most stray cats can find food on their own, and without people like you, they would still be just fine." Fang Yi looked back at Ao Ranqi, and Ao Ranqi felt cold all over.

"I didn't use too much force, and I couldn't catch these stray cats..." Ao Ranqi defended in a low voice.

In the past few months in the pet shop, he had been collecting cat litter and feeding food to the cats and dogs in the backyard every day, which had caused him to have sequelae. When he saw those stray cats and dogs that couldn't find food to eat, he wanted to feed them.

This habit had been ridiculed by his classmates several times, but he still couldn't control his hands. He would throw away the cat and dog food in his bag and continue to buy.

"These stray cats in the park are all used to being wild outside and are not used to being raised, so they can't be taken back. In addition, there will always be stray cats from other places coming here. Even if we force these cats to be taken away, stray cats will still appear here in a few days.

"So the store will send people to check on the cats here every day to see if there are any new members or injured ones, and change their water and put cat food." Seeing that Ao Ranqi was scared, Fang Yi didn't continue to scare him or tell him about the stray cats.

"Although these cats are wild, they still know what's good for them. When people from the store come to catch them to take them to the store for vaccinations, sterilization, and deworming, they will resist but will never scratch the people in the store. So, don't be mean to the animals in the store when I'm not around. Even if they can't talk, I can tell from their behavior." After Fang Yi finished speaking, he called out twice to the cat in the tree. The cat stood up, walked over, and jumped into Fang Yi's arms.

"I didn't abuse them." Ao Ranqi answered confidently. At the beginning, he was almost scared to death by Fang Yi. He would do anything Fang Yi asked him to do seriously. Later, when Fang Yi was gone, he got used to it and gradually liked the small animals in the backyard, so he naturally wouldn't abuse them.

"Try it." Fang Yi put the cat in Ao Ranqi's arms.

After Ao Ranqi took the cat, he regretted it. The stray cat was so dirty that his clothes would definitely get dirty.

The cat Fang Yi handed to Ao Ranqi was a calico cat. It was not very big, not as fat as the cats raised at home, but not thin either, and looked very energetic.

Ao Ranqi looked down at the calico cat, which was also looking at him. Its amber eyes looked clear and bright, which made people feel comfortable.

"Meow." The calico cat meowed very gently, as if greeting Ao Ranqi.
