Upon learning the truth, the stray cats ceased to resist Chen Li's offerings of cat food. Gradually, everyone began to grow fond of him.
Little Black continued, "But Chen Li is out of money, and he's still spending on treating Anan and feeding us. We don't want him to spend any more. Xia Xin, could you please convey to Chen Li that he should let go of treating Anan and instead spend more time comforting her?"
Xia Xin was taken aback. She thought, 'So this is the real story. No wonder Chen Li had the aura of weak animals around him; it wasn't because he was mistreating them, but because he was treating his ailing cat.'
Agreeing to the stray cats' request, Xia Xin set off the next morning. She left the film crew during her free time before shooting and arrived at Chen Li's neighborhood at the time agreed upon with the strays.
