Upon hearing Su Li’s command, Miss Cat obediently picked up the lunchbox.
Her eyes fell on the cat pattern on her own lunchbox, and her fingers gently traced the edge, her expression solemn.
Sensing Su Li’s gaze upon her, Miss Cat hurriedly opened the lunchbox.
“Wow!”
Seeing the abundant food inside, Miss Cat’s eyes sparkled brightly.
She had never eaten such delicious and sumptuous food before!
Miss Cat never expected Su Li to be so skilled—to make such exquisite dishes.
The last bento she made also took a long time to succeed.
This must be the best thing she’s ever tasted!
Far better than Cat Food by countless times!
Miss Cat looked at the delicate lunchbox in front of her and suddenly felt reluctant to eat.
“Hurry up and eat. If it’s inconvenient, I can feed you too,” Su Li said as she sat on a nearby chair.
If she were to feed anyone else, she would charge a service fee.
But for Miss Cat, she had no such thoughts.
Under Su Li’s encouraging gaze, Miss Cat quickly shook her small head, not wanting to trouble Su Li.
She then placed the lunchbox on her lap, scooped a spoonful with her right hand—which was free from any IV—and popped it into her mouth.
The moment the food touched her tongue, Miss Cat immediately showed a satisfied expression.
If she had a tail, she felt it would surely wag happily and tremble nonstop.
So delicious!
The rice was served on one side of the box, each grain full and translucent, shining with an inviting luster as if freshly harvested from the paddy fields.
On the other side were carefully prepared dishes.
Several pieces of stewed pork gleamed with a bright reddish hue, fatty yet not greasy; the lean parts were firm and chewy.
The melt-in-your-mouth softness combined with a hint of sweetness spread across the palate—a wonderful flavor achieved only through slow simmering.
Next to it, the greens were lush and dripping with freshness, tender leaves and crisp stalks.
There were also a few pieces of pan-fried chicken breast, golden and crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside, sprinkled with a touch of black pepper for a unique flavor.
A portion of shredded potato was meticulously cooked, the strands even and crisp, with a slight sour and spicy taste stimulating the taste buds.
In one corner of the lunchbox sat a small bowl of soup, clear in color with floating tender scallions, steaming hot and exuding an enticing aroma.
“Th-thank you!”
Blushing slightly as Su Li watched her eat, Miss Cat hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth and thanked her.
Actually, she was a little reluctant to finish.
Such delicious food, she wanted to savor it slowly, eat it a bit more leisurely.
“You’re welcome. After all, you’ve helped me so much,” Su Li said.
“You’ve helped me a lot too!” Miss Cat quickly responded.
Seeing the nervous Miss Cat, Su Li took a carton of Milk from the care package she had brought over and handed it to her.
She found Miss Cat truly strange.
When Chi Qingya ate, she only ever found faults and never uttered a word of gratitude.
Su Li had long since gotten used to it.
Perhaps, responses like Miss Cat’s were what normal people were like.
Maybe because Su Li was sitting by Miss Cat’s side watching her eat, Miss Cat gradually began to eat faster.
“No need to rush,” Su Li said calmly.
She felt a little odd.
Sitting beside Miss Cat, she suddenly found herself speaking more.
If it were someone else, she wouldn’t care whether they ate too fast or too slow.
But upon hearing Su Li’s words, Miss Cat slowed her pace.
Yet, as she ate, she suddenly felt a sting in her nose and clenched her lips, trying hard to hold back tears.
Afraid Su Li might misunderstand, Miss Cat quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve and explained:
“I… I just think this bento is too delicious. I couldn’t hold it in…”
“It’s not… not that the bento isn’t good!”
She said anxiously.
Su Li only passed her a tissue, paying no mind.
Perhaps Miss Cat’s stress was just too overwhelming.
When Su Li had been overworked like Miss Cat, she too had been crushed by pressure.
Being able to cry and release emotions was actually a good thing.
Su Li looked at Miss Cat’s expression, recalling that every time she saw her, she usually wore a happy smile.
She quietly sat beside Miss Cat; neither spoke further.
Miss Cat wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, forcing a smile and silently enjoyed the bento in front of her.
Su Li didn’t know why, but seeing Miss Cat like this made her feel…
heartache?
She couldn’t grasp the shift in her own feelings; her mood remained calm.
She only felt that her body had reacted just then.
But looking at Miss Cat, she subconsciously thought of the cat she had raised in her past life.
If she were gone, she wondered what would happen to that cat in the end.
Watching Miss Cat eat, Su Li noticed she deliberately moved the Cat Food and meat aside, eating the vegetables and rice first.
It seemed like she wanted to save the best for last.
This behavior was very similar to her cat.
Cat enjoyed saving its favorite food for the end.
Miss Cat happily finished all the food except the meat and Cat Food.
At that moment, a burly figure burst into the hospital from outside.
The girl was quite eye-catching; her face round and plump, skin fair and delicate, like a freshly peeled boiled egg, radiating a fresh glow.
Her large, bright eyes were lively, as if holding two clear springs, blinking with spirit.
Her nose was small and refined, perfectly placed on her round face.
Her lips were full and rosy, like ripe cherries, and when she smiled slightly, a row of neat white teeth showed, making her seem very approachable.
Her figure, however, sharply contrasted with her delicate and cute face—she was much plumper than average.
Her round body resembled a soft ball of flesh, and as she walked, her flesh jiggled with every step, as if dancing happily along with her pace.
She wore a loose dress, the hem puffed out by her round figure.
This figure had a relatively larger area of white skin compared to others.
She rushed into the room in a flurry, not paying attention to where she was going.
She almost knocked the lunchbox from Miss Cat’s hands.
Fortunately, Miss Cat treasured the bento too much and held it firmly.
Still, quite a bit of Cat Food and meat scattered on the floor.
