Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 171 - 171 171 Unlucky Stalker

?Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Unlucky Stalker Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Unlucky Stalker Ermao’s phone was knocked into a bucket of water by his “daughter” with a swipe of her paw.

At that time, Ermao was in a bad mood. After coming back, he didn’t know what to do and, on a whim, decided to fetch a bucket of water to wipe the table. He had spilled beer on it the day before, and there were dried splatters from takeout grease still visible. Watching his “daughter” sniffing around on the table, Ermao rolled up his sleeves, brought over the bucket, and started to wipe the table with the rag he had torn up yesterday while exercising his grip strength.

His phone was on the nightstand, and as he was wiping the computer desk, Wang Bin called. The ringing startled Heimi, who was squatting beside him, and she went over and slapped it, coincidentally hitting the answer button.

People who have cats know that they habitually can’t keep their paws to themselves.

So, after the first swipe, there would be a second. Heimi’s second paw swat sent the phone flying directly into the water, and even more coincidentally, Ermao had placed the bucket beside the nightstand—the first spot he had started to clean.

Therefore, all Wang Bin heard after Ermao’s shout was a “plop” of the phone dropping into the water, and then, silence.

With a dejected face, Ermao retrieved the phone from the bucket, looked at its dark screen, tried to turn it on, but it wouldn’t respond. He took out the battery and blasted it with a hairdryer, to no avail. The phone was a goner.

Helplessly looking at Heimi, who was squatting on the table with an innocent look, Ermao rubbed his forehead and suddenly understood the complex emotions of other cat owners. However, he didn’t feel like going out today. He’d buy a new phone tomorrow—it wasn’t urgent since he could use messaging apps to contact most people he needed to. He just didn’t know who had been calling just now.

Wang Bin tried calling several more times, but was unable to get through. He was certain that the shout he’d heard was from his twin brother, and after hearing what Ermao had shouted, Wang Bin was desperate to find out what was going on with the “daughter.” Just today, his mother had been nagging about when Ermao would find a girlfriend, settle down, get married, have children, and stay quietly at home. And now this “bombshell” had dropped.

Wang Bin didn’t like to go into situations unprepared. If Ermao had really stirred up some trouble, he needed to prepare in advance to avoid a family uproar. Of course, first, he had to find Ermao, but Wang Bin himself didn’t have much time to stay in Chuhua City.

After calling Zhao Le and learning a bit more, Wang Bin recalled the black cat he had seen at the party hosted by his uncle, but he had no clear memory of it. He could definitely find Ermao by deploying some professionals or taking a tougher approach, but those methods were off the table—they would backfire for sure, as similar incidents had happened in the past. Ask the cat’s owner? He heard that the family lived in the Chuhua University staff courtyard where there was hardly anyone during the day, except for children. Zhao Le didn’t recommend bothering them.

After a long silence, Wang Bin called a friend who was staying in Chuhua City. Anyway, that buddy had been bored out of his mind recently, so Wang Bin thought it might be good to give him something to do. If that didn’t yield results, Wang Bin planned to make time to personally visit the cat’s owner in Chuhua City the following weekend.
