A...tail?
Ainsley froze on the spot. Grandpa Yofan and Elliana also stiffened. The three of them looked at the figure lying inside the backpack with their jaws dropping to the floor.
What they saw was only the furry tail, but as Ainsley opened the bag wider, the creature hidden inside was slowly fully revealed.
It was a white-mocha long-haired cat with its back facing them. The cat seemed to be curling up into a fetus position, deep in sleep.
If this was another world, Ainsley would think that it's just a cat. But how could she think like that when this cat was none other than the one who stole her paper bag a few minutes ago?!
The baby's face instantly flushed red. Steams rose from her head and a surge of fire burned inside her heart.
This...this…
Ainsley clenched her fists tightly until it turned white. Her hands were shaking, and the veins on her forehead bulged violently.
The girl suddenly had the urge to throw away the backpack along with the cat.
If you want to know how this cat looks like, see Ain Chinese new year illustration. The cat under the cardboard is this one xD and I'll also post the real-life photo!
