Miss Cat patted her own cheeks, feeling that she was being a bit too embarrassing.
Su Li was just being polite, but she took it seriously.
She pushed the plate in front of Su Li, looking at her a little nervously.
“Miss Cat’s cooking is actually really good. I really liked the bento you made before,” Su Li said with some anticipation as she looked at the Bread Sandwich with Egg and Bacon in front of her.
She could feel herself having this kind of thought.
Since she was starting to think this way, did it mean that perhaps recovering her emotions wasn’t so far away after all?
As Su Li was thinking this, Miss Cat was already feeling rather embarrassed.
She picked up her own portion of bread, lowered her little head, and didn’t dare look Su Li in the eyes. Her cheeks had already turned completely red.
“It’s… it’s nothing really.”
Actually, she had secretly learned all of this by watching Miss Cat’s Pooper-Scooper cook.
But since there wasn’t an Oven at Home, Miss Cat had spent a long time secretly figuring out how to make this dish.
After all, the Oven in Su Li’s Home was a bit different from the one at Miss Cat’s Pooper-Scooper’s Home.
Su Li also looked at the Breakfast in front of her. For some reason, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Maybe this was the feeling of Home she had always hoped for.
No matter how tired she was, as long as she saw Miss Cat waiting for her at Home, she would feel relaxed.
She felt that everything she did was worth it.
Maybe it was this expectation that allowed her to keep her emotions and feelings.
No matter what she did, because she had something she cared about, she would always have something to look forward to.
“It’s delicious.”
Su Li put the bread into her mouth, and soon that familiar feeling washed over her.
It was just like… the Breakfast she used to prepare for herself in her previous life.
Before she lost her feelings in her previous life, Su Li would make this kind of Breakfast.
Sometimes she made too much and would give the rest to Miss Cat.
Miss Cat wasn’t picky at all. If she fed her Cat Food, Miss Cat would eat Cat Food; if she fed her regular food, she would eat regular food.
“As long as you like it.”
Hearing Su Li’s words, Miss Cat finally relaxed, patting her chest.
“I’ll restock some ingredients for you. After all, I used the food in your fridge this morning without your permission, and I might have messed up your plans.”
Miss Cat apologized, even though she had cleaned the Kitchen spotless that morning, she still felt guilty about using Su Li’s things without asking.
“It’s fine. Even if you didn’t use those ingredients, I’d still need to eat, wouldn’t I?”
“And you even specially made Breakfast for me, there’s no need to go to such trouble.”
Su Li made herself smile, thinking that her usual blank expression would scare Miss Cat.
“We’re Friends, so you don’t have to worry about that sort of thing.”
Su Li explained again.
“Friends.”
Miss Cat murmured softly, looking at Su Li, then finally picked up the plate from the table and went to wash the bowls till they were spotless.
“I’ll walk you Home.”
“There’s no need, really.”
Miss Cat shook her head, sounding a bit embarrassed.
The place where she lived was very cramped, and she didn’t want Su Li to see it.
She didn’t even know why she felt this way.
Maybe it was because she considered Su Li a Friend?
Miss Cat couldn’t figure it out.
“Do you have any work today?”
“Is it as busy as before?”
Su Li looked at Miss Cat and asked.
The moment she spoke, she found it strange.
If it was the old her, she wouldn’t have cared about this sort of thing at all.
But when she saw Miss Cat, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
Su Li thought maybe it was because Miss Cat’s appearance and name made her think of her own cat.
If her cat turned into a person, she might also worry.
Worry that her cat wouldn’t be able to survive alone in this world.
When she first met Miss Cat, Miss Cat was just a tiny thing.
Miss Cat was her Family.
Maybe it was worry for Family, and also for a Friend?
Su Li couldn’t figure it out, so she just looked at Miss Cat.
“I… I haven’t found anything yet.”
Miss Cat lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Actually, aside from her job at the Convenience Store downstairs, most of her job searching was going door to door whenever she had free time.
She didn’t know how other humans found work.
She only remembered her Miss Cat’s Pooper-Scooper used to go from place to place.
Then she would talk to other people, and before long, Miss Cat’s Pooper-Scooper would stay at a place for a while.
Then she’d take her to other places to hustle around.
So she copied her Miss Cat’s Pooper-Scooper in her dreams, looking for work.
Although she could communicate with humans, she couldn’t read their writing.
Even the Cell Phone—she’d only learned how to use it by secretly watching other people and asking questions while working.
This Cell Phone full of cracks was the only thing she owned, so she cherished it dearly.
Besides, all her Money was inside this Cell Phone.
“Where do you usually stay?”
Su Li looked at Miss Cat and asked.
She used to avoid getting too involved with Miss Cat, but maybe it was because of the Breakfast, or maybe it was for other reasons—today, she found herself talking a lot more.
“I-I live in the Room provided by the Convenience Store.”
Miss Cat whispered:
“The Store Manager at the Convenience Store is really nice. She gave me a job and also a place to stay.”
She ran her little hands over her Work Uniform.
As for the Clothes Su Li had prepared for her yesterday, she had already taken them off this morning and washed them clean for Su Li.
Seeing that Su Li was still looking at her, Miss Cat lowered her little head, like a child who didn’t know what to do.
Su Li let out a long sigh. She didn’t know why, but she was feeling a bit uneasy today.
She knew she was saying too much and meddling in Miss Cat’s life.
But after eating that Breakfast, she kept connecting Miss Cat with her own cat.
Even she didn’t know why she felt this way.
“Sorry, if you ever need anything, just contact me any time.”
Su Li’s voice was still calm as she apologized to Miss Cat.
“It’s— it’s really okay!”
Miss Cat shook her head, breathing a sigh of relief.
She felt she shouldn’t keep troubling Su Li!
And she was a little embarrassed to invite Su Li to her own Home.
She was afraid Su Li wouldn’t be able to get used to it.
“Then I won’t see you off. If you have time, you’re always welcome to come over and play at my Home.”
A smile appeared at the corner of Su Li’s mouth. She could feel Miss Cat’s nervousness.
She wanted to help Miss Cat relax.
She could understand how Miss Cat felt.
After all, she had been through the same thing once.
