Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 290 - 290 283 Demonic Barrier

?Chapter 290: Chapter 283: Demonic Barrier Chapter 290: Chapter 283: Demonic Barrier After Zheng Tan returned, he quickly forgot about the orchid on the balcony. At first, he wasn’t sure how to give the orchid to Old Man Lan. As it sat there, eventually, it slipped from his mind. It was only Jiao Ma who watered that small pot of orchid regularly. That is, until one day Old Man Lan came knocking, inquiring about it.

Old Man Lan had bumped into Gong Qin during his post-dinner walk, and in the midst of their enjoyable chat, Gong Qin mentioned an incident she encountered on a trip some time ago. To her, a cat taking an orchid only to return it was quite an amusing story. She had not mentioned it while outside, refraining due to Ermao’s advice, but it came up when she and Old Man Lan were discussing plants. Accidentally, she let it slip, which sparked Old Man Lan’s curiosity, and he went straight up to the fifth floor.

At that moment, only Jiao Ma was at home. Little Youzi had been called over by a classmate to help with competition questions, Jiao Yuan was out playing basketball with his buddies, and Mr. Jiao was still busy as usual.

Seeing Professor Lan panting heavily, Jiao Ma quickly poured him a glass of water, worried that something serious might happen to him.

“What’s wrong, Professor Lan?” After becoming familiar with him, Jiao Ma wasn’t as afraid of Professor Lan as before. Her manner of speaking was much more relaxed, but seeing Professor Lan in this state, she couldn’t help but be concerned. The first thought that came to mind was: Did her cat cause trouble? Did it nibble on someone’s valuable plant?

If Zheng Tan knew what Jiao Ma was thinking, he would probably be super frustrated. It’s all that sheriff’s fault.

Climbing up to the fifth floor in a rush had left Old Man Lan gasping for breath and with a sore throat. After drinking water, he felt much better and without resting, he asked directly, “Did Heitan bring back a pot of orchid a few days ago?”

Jiao Ma hadn’t expected it to be about this and immediately felt reassured. She led Old Man Lan to the balcony to look at the orchid.

“This is the one,” said Jiao Ma, pointing it out to Old Man Lan.

Zheng Tan had taken Little Youzi out and was just returning from a walk around the block when he entered the door and heard Old Man Lan’s outburst. Suddenly, he remembered the miserable state of the orchid on the balcony. From his understanding of Old Man Lan, he knew the grumpy old man would definitely explode in anger. So, Zheng Tan hesitated, contemplating whether to step back out and take another walk around. But thinking of Jiao Ma being the only one at home, he doubted whether she could withstand Old Man Lan’s foul temper.

Well, it had to be faced eventually.
