Chapter 1377: Difficult to Express How I Truly Feel

After the grandma had left, Zhang Zian’s line of sight fell back onto the cardboard box.

Judging from all the evidence within this box, this kitten is likely abandoned. This is very common and all too common. It may be because of various reasons, like someone in the family is pregnant, a guest is allergic, can’t afford it, or doesn’t want to raise it. Most of the pets that were abandoned are swept out of the house. In contrast, the kitten at least had a cardboard box to shelter it from the wind and rain.

However, the person who raised it before may have been a child who was put under the pressure of his parents to get rid of it and then kindly prepared a box for the kitten. However, the child forgot to put a few holes in the cardboard box.

If it is discovered a little later, it may suffocate inside.

There is nothing in the carton except for the cat.

Zhang Zian groaned and looked around.

At noon, people stayed at home to eat, and there were very few people on the street.

He remembered the words of the grandmother. Some people abused cats nearby. If this kitten was left alone, it is likely to fall into the hands of those people. Even if it didn’t encounter this situation, it may eventually escape from the cardboard box, then get knockdown by cars when crossing the road. That will be like that unlucky little boy… the chance of being taken home by a good-hearted person is not high.

If he brings it back… there seems to be a problem.

Whether it has been vaccinated or dewormed is unknown. Considering that it was abandoned and not bred, the answer is likely to be negative. However, If it is brought back to the pet store, the cat lice or parasites on it can be transmitted to the other cats. What can he do when that happens?

His family is living well but cannot extend it to all. For the pet, poultry and livestock industries, it is necessary to be very cautious when bringing in external animals.

The pet shop is the center of his parents’ life, and he can’t afford the risks.

But…

“Have I seen you before?”

Zhang Zian touched his chin and fixedly stared at it. He suddenly blurted his thoughts out.

The kitten certainly didn’t answer and looked around ignorantly.

“It’s strange to say. I don’t know if I have been sleeping too little or am too tired recently. When I come home this time around, I saw several familiar faces. Every time I see them, I have this feeling in me, as if a voice buried deep in my heart, saying: Ah, I seem to know this person, isn’t that who…”

Anyway, there’s no one around, and he does not need to hurry home. Thus, he simply talked freely.

“It’s obviously familiar faces, but I can’t remember their names them anymore. It’s like… I have been seeing them for a long time, but thinking for a while, I don’t think so. This is because women change a lot as they grow older. In a blink of an eye, they would have grown a lot taller. With two to three years passing, they will be beyond recognition. So it’s impossible for me to have seen them from a long time ago… even if I indeed had seen them a long time ago, it must be because they have had some interaction with me and therefore I still remember them. However, I don’t even have any impression of these interactions…”

After stopping, he smiled and laughed. “Is this the so-called Déjà vu? Because even though I look at them and recognize them in some way, they do not seem to remember me and treat me as if I am a total stranger, that type that they have never met before… including that old grandmother.”

He turned his head and stared at the back of the grandmother riding her tricycle.

“Not only people but also places. Some places, I should be there for the first time, but it seems like I have been there before…”

For example, when he opened the menu of the Teahouse In Hidden Fog, he felt like he should have been more surprised. However, he seems to have expected it in his heart and guessed that it would be very expensive.

“So, this should be my own illusion.” He poked his own temple with his fingers. “I have thought of many possibilities, such as there being a tumor in my brain that has affected my cognitive ability… …but I have just had a physical examination not long ago, and it is not very likely. This is not a Korean drama in any way…”

After a moment of silence, he rubbed his own face and said, “I can’t tell others about these, including my parents. This is because I am afraid that they will treat me as if I have a mental illness. They will start to gossip, and it will spread. They will say that I had too much work pressure, and it leads to mental disorders… Really, I am not joking. An old town like this place, any gossip spreads like wildfire. Some people are very idle, and they like to spread and grin on other people’s issues… I don’t really care about what they say about me, but my parents will definitely be worried about me.”

“So I can only tell you, do you think… that there is a problem here?” He poked his own temple and smiled at it.

“Meow…”

The kitten certainly didn’t answer. He didn’t expect it to answer. If it really talked, then he could only confirm that his brain had a problem…

He has kept these words in his heart for a while, and he has not said anything to anyone because he can’t say it.

He doesn’t know if he has a mental problem, but in general… a mentally ill person does not think that he has a mental problem, just like a drunk person will not admit that he is drunk.

By always keeping these issues in your heart, even if there is no problem, one day sooner or later, you will have problems.

It’s okay to tell this kitten that can’t talk.

When the holiday of the Golden Week is over, after returning to his company in the city, will these strange feelings disappear?

“Okay, thank you for listening to me. After talking to you about it, I feel more comfortable in my heart.” He really did feel a lot more at ease. “So, as a way of saying thank you, I will take you back first, although I may not be able to raise you. After all, I am too busy with my work, but I can try to help you find the right adopter, how about that?”

“Meow…”

The kitten was quite obedient and didn’t jump out of the box and run.

“Well, let’s go home… but before I go home, I have to take you to a place.” He took out his cell phone, opened the map app, and looked for a pet clinic or pet hospital nearby.

“Well? The Spirit Curing Pet Clinic? When did this place open… also, it’s quite close by.” He picked up the cardboard box and put the kitten and the cardboard box into his van.

“I will take you for a vaccine and deworming before I can bring you back. This is for your own good.”

He got back into the van, turned around, and said, “Be good and stay in the box, we will arrive soon.”

The kitten seemed to understand him and quietly squatted down in the cardboard box.

“Right, are you hungry?”

He said whatever is on his mind and did not expect it to answer. It was as if he accomplished his task by simply asking it the question.

When he passed by the pet shop, he parked his van on the side of the road and told his parents that he was going to top up on gas. He took advantage of when they were not paying attention and took two canned food from the shelves. He then quietly scanned the barcode at checkout and paid the money.

When he got back into the car, he opened a can and put it in a cardboard box. “Eat it. See if it suits your taste.”

The kitten first stared at him and glanced at the food. The canned scent attracted it. It bowed its head into the can and ate with small bites.

“You are surely hungry.” He laughed, restarted the van, and drove to the pet clinic.
