Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

The dusk was as dark as ink, spreading little by little and quietly enveloping the entire world.

A few rays of the setting sun's rays, squeezed by the thick clouds, struggled to fall on the earth, but they only added a bit of gloom and desolation.

"Um..."

Huanhuan felt her whole body crawl under Mo Zi's calm yet sharp gaze. She felt that the gaze was like a sharp blade in the cold night, piercing straight through her. A trace of panic arose in her heart for no reason. She subconsciously shrank back, her back slightly arched, like a frightened little animal.

"Uh-huh——"

She scratched her head awkwardly, her eyes rolling around, trying to break the suffocating atmosphere. She forced a smile and said in a delicate voice:

"Big sis, don't be so serious. I'm really just out here for fun. This competition you guys are participating in looks really interesting. I've never seen it before."

"Humph……"

Mo Zi did not let down her guard, and her whole body exuded an aura that kept strangers away. She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if examining her prey, and looked Huan Huan up and down, her voice cold:

"If you were just out for fun, why were you staring at us and following us here?"

"Uh……"

Huan Huan's heart tightened, and she waved her hands hurriedly, putting on an extremely innocent expression on her face, and explained anxiously:

"I didn't mean to follow you. I just saw you guys walking this way and wanted to see what fun things there were. Plus, I think you're all amazing, especially that one called Bai Tang. He looks silly, but he seems to have endless energy."

"Hmm? Wait..."

Mo Zi's heart suddenly moved, and he was secretly alert. This little cat named Huanhuan seemed to be particularly interested in Bai Tang.

She remained calm and asked:

"Do you know white sugar?"

"Hmm~"

Huanhuan shook her head like a rattle and said cheerfully:

"I don't know him. I just saw him yelling and shouting in the game, and it was really funny. Big sis, do you have any more games coming up? Can I watch from the side?"

Mo Zi was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on Huan Huan, trying to find a flaw in her expression.

She always felt that the appearance of this kitten was too strange, but everything seemed reasonable and there was no trace of suspicion.

"Humph……"

After thinking for a while, she said in a cold tone, leaving no room for negotiation:

"Our competition has nothing to do with you. You'd better go back to your valley as soon as possible."

"Ah, no..."

When Huan Huan heard this, a look of disappointment instantly appeared on her face, her eyes slightly reddened, and she said coquettishly with a bit of grievance:

"But I don't want to go back yet. It's so boring in the valley. Big sister, just let me follow you. I promise not to cause any trouble."

As she spoke, she blinked pitifully, and her long eyelashes fluttered like two small fans.

"Humph……"

Mo Zi remained unmoved, turned around, leaving behind a resolute back, and said coldly:

"No, leave now. If you follow us again, don't blame me for being rude."

"What? That's too stingy!"

Huanhuan looked at Mo Zi's departing back, bit her lip, and a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, she secretly followed him. She carefully kept her distance, fearing that she would be discovered, while secretly thinking in her heart:

"Humph, I won't leave so easily. I want to see what secrets you have."

……

"You're not as fast as me, slut!"

"Damn you, Wanzi, if you hadn't cheated me, how could I be so slow?"

On the other side, Bai Tang and Wu Song had already rushed into the kitchen like wild horses.

"Okay, everyone can eat..."

Dafei had already prepared the food. Wisps of hot steam rose up and the aroma of the food filled the entire space.

"Wow, it's time to eat! I don't want to argue with you anymore..."

"Humph……"

As soon as Bai Tang saw the food, his eyes lit up instantly and he started to gobble it up like a hungry wolf.

After a while, Wu Song smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying lovingly:

"The way you eat is so ugly. Aren't you afraid of choking?"

"Um..."

Bai Tang's mouth was stuffed full, his cheeks puffed up like a small ball, and he said incoherently:

"It's so delicious, Dafei. Your cooking skills are really getting better and better. When Xiaoqing and Sister Azi come back, they will definitely praise it."

"Hmm~ Is the moon out? Is it so late already? Why hasn't my sister come back yet?"

At this time, Xiaoqing was walking back slowly, and the moon in the sky had quietly peeked out at some point.

The moon tonight is not round and full, but is broken in a corner and covered by a thin layer of clouds. The moonlight is weak and cold, as if it will be swallowed by darkness at any time.

"Could it be that my sister..."

Xiaoqing looked at the strange moon and felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart. She was still thinking about the competition that had just happened and her sister's strange behavior of suddenly leaving for something.

“Squeak!”

Mo Zi calmly pushed open the door and walked in. The warm yellow light in the room instantly enveloped her.

"Yeah~ Sister A Zi is back!"

All the cats looked at her, but she looked calm, as if everything that had just happened was just an ordinary thing.

"Hmm~"

Da Fei greeted with a smile:

"Sister A Zi, come here quickly, we've been waiting for you." Wu Song also nodded and continued to eat slowly.

"Woooooooo..."

Bai Tang's mouth was stuffed full, and he mumbled something incoherently, with rice grains still on the corners of his mouth.

"Um?"

Xiao Qing stared at Mo Zi, her eyes full of doubts, and couldn't help but speak:

"Sister, you just..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mo Zi.

"Nothing..."

Mo Zi's expression was calm, and his tone was calm.

"It was just a sudden thought that I wanted to stand up high and take a look. I thought you guys should be almost done eating, right?"

As she spoke, she cast a cold gaze at Bai Tang, with a hint of "murderous intent" in her eyes.

"Uh, don't look at me like that..."

Bai Tang noticed this look and immediately smiled and tried to please him:

"Oh, Sister A Zi, it was an accident last time. I accidentally ate your food." As he spoke, he wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, trying to cover up his "crime".

"Humph……"

After hearing this, Mo Zi didn't say anything more. He just waved his hand casually, turned his gaze to the dining table, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

Xiaoqing said "Oh" softly, but she felt like she was scratched by a cat in her heart. She always felt that her sister's behavior was a little abnormal.

"This is……"

She observed Mo Zi calmly and found that although her sister seemed to be eating calmly on the surface, a trace of imperceptible panic would occasionally flash across her eyes, and her hands would unconsciously clench her chopsticks.

"Sister, it seems like something is on your mind..."
