Seeing that Miss Cat was no longer refusing her request, Su Li also let out a sigh of relief.
From the current results, Su Li was very satisfied; at least Miss Cat had actively accepted this Cell Phone.
She could still sense that even if Miss Cat had been unwilling to accept it, she might have ultimately taken the Gift for the sake of Su Li’s feelings.
If possible, she hoped Miss Cat would not have any psychological burden.
Holding the Cell Phone Su Li had given her, Miss Cat felt as if she had obtained a fun Toy.
In the past, whenever Miss Cat’s Pooper-Scooper earned some Money, they would also buy her a Toy and play with her.
She would collect all the Gifts Miss Cat’s Pooper-Scooper gave her, preserving them with great care.
Now that she had received the New Phone, Miss Cat held the New Phone and looked it over from every angle. When the screen lit up, it was like she was holding a pool of clear, transparent Water.
She carefully wiped it with her sleeve. The face reflected in it was several times clearer than usual, even showing the shadow of her fluttering eyelashes.
This was so different from her old phone.
the screen of that old phone had long since shattered into a spiderweb; it prickled her touch, and sometimes she had to poke the screen several times just to move things half a centimeter.
She stared blankly for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
“Su Li, Su Li, it seems like this New Phone can even be used as a Mirror!”
In the past, she would also use her own cracked phone to look at herself, but she had to adjust it many times before she could see her face clearly. With the phone Su Li gave her, a single glance was enough.
Yet, Miss Cat continued to stare at her reflection in the screen, looking very seriously.
Before, her internet speed was also very slow. Even when grabbing a Hongbao (Red Envelope), she was always half a beat slower than others.
Sending a message required waiting for the chat box to lag for a long time before it would send successfully.
On the New Phone, a light swipe could turn many pages.
Considering that Miss Cat was illiterate, Su Li patiently explained things to Miss Cat.
She told her the function of each software.
Miss Cat’s gaze stayed fixed on the icons on the phone screen, trying her best to memorize everything Su Li said.
Some icons on the phone were similar to those on her old phone, so she could guess their functions.
However, she used to get distressed seeing the dense text on various apps, not knowing what they were for.
If she clicked on them from time to time, she would be unable to find what she had been doing before.
It would even be laggy, requiring a long time before she could finish what she wanted to do.
Sometimes there would even be no response at all, and she could only restart it again and again.
Su Li felt that Miss Cat just wasn’t able to accept new things for a short time, but Miss Cat was not a fool.
As long as she taught with patience, Miss Cat would eventually learn.
It was a novel feeling, like looking after a little child.
But this child was much better behaved and more sensible than other children.
“This is the Camera.”
“It’s used for taking Photos.”
Su Li said, pointing at the screen of Miss Cat’s phone.
Miss Cat nodded obediently, her emotions a bit excited:
“I—I know!”
“My old phone had a Camera function too.”
“It’s just that when I used it to take Photos, there was no way to record them, and I don’t know why.”
“Every time I turned it on, the Photos I took before would disappear.”
As Miss Cat spoke, she felt a bit dejected, but she quickly worked hard to show a smile.
Since Su Li had given her a New Gift, no matter what, she could not act like she was disappointed.
“I’ll help you look at that phone of yours later.”
“Perhaps there is still an Opportunity to save it.”
As Su Li spoke, she thought of Miss Cat’s phone which was of a familiar brand.
She guessed that perhaps because Miss Cat did not know how to use the phone, the phone’s memory was full.
She didn’t know if the phone screen was shattered or if the screen protector was shattered, but Miss Cat hadn’t replaced it to this day.
The phone brand was quite old; she didn’t know if it could be revived.
But regardless, it was worth a try.
Su Li watched Miss Cat pick up the phone and point it toward her, knowing that the phone was very important to her.
She was also a nostalgic person.
So she really hoped Miss Cat could be happy.
Even if her current emotions didn’t have many major fluctuations.
Miss Cat tried opening the Camera. Su Li in the lens had every strand of hair clearly defined, unlike the old phone where everything she took was covered in a layer of gray mist, forcing her to guess what the Photo actually was after taking it.
She stared at Su Li through the phone and discovered that the phone could actually observe Su Li more clearly through zooming.
Miss Cat’s finger accidentally touched the shutter button, and it quickly recorded Su Li’s expression.
“Su Li, Su Li, I… I think I took a successful Photo!”
She said happily. Su Li nodded, watching Miss Cat’s joyful expression.
She was like a child who had just learned to ride a bicycle for the first time, incredibly happy.
At this moment, she was staring at her successful work, looking it over slowly.
She held the phone and seriously took Photos inside Su Li’s Room.
She took Photos of Su Li, and Photos of the cats.
Miss Cat even took several Photos specifically of each and every cat.
She ran over to Su Li’s Balcony, holding Su Li’s phone to continue shooting.
She discovered that the Sparrow fluttering on the clothesline outside the Window had every feather visible under the lens.
The Rain drops drifting onto the glass wouldn’t blur into dirty gray dots on the screen, and even the Sophora Flower falling on the screen wouldn’t turn into a blurry white spot.
It wasn’t like her old album where the only three Photos she had were blurry.
One was of a crooked moon, and two were clumps of gray shadows that were indistinguishable between clouds or cotton.
The whole World began to become clear before her eyes.
What surprised her most was the warmth from her fingertips when touching the screen, as comfortable as touching a sunbathing cat’s belly.
The old phone was always ice-cold; in winter, holding it against her face to take a call could freeze her ear until it went numb.
Now, she couldn’t resist rubbing her cheek against the back of the New Phone.
The cool metal shell soon warmed up with her body temperature, like she was holding a piece of a glowing moon.
The most magical thing was Su Li’s number sitting in the contact list.
In the future, she would never have to crouch at the entrance of a fast-food restaurant to use the Wi-Fi just to send a message.
“There is a SIM Card inside the phone, so you can call me. As for the phone bills, don’t worry about them.”
“I’ve already paid enough for you; at least until you learn how to pay the bills yourself, there will be no problem.”
Su Li spoke while looking at Miss Cat. Miss Cat likely didn’t even have her own SIM Card.
At least when Su Li had used Miss Cat’s things to click on things before, she noticed that Miss Cat’s phone didn’t have a card inserted.
She looked at Miss Cat, feeling a bit of heartache.
