664. Mouse's Law (with illustrations, you can turn off in settings if you don't like)_1

In this shallow depression, at some point, a layer of light-yellow straw had been stacked up. Judging by its freshness, it was clearly from the batch that Song Tan's family had just harvested this summer.

Above this layer of straw, there lay an orange cat with fur even darker than Datian's, languorously licking its snow-white front paw without a care, seemingly oblivious to the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves in front of the hollow, to Datian "squeaking" over, and to the countless viewers in the livestream... it lay there in utter laziness.

Were it not for the four kittens with the same pattern as theirs under its belly, mewling and jostling each other as they desperately searched for food, perhaps Song Tan wouldn't have the heart to disrupt this scene.

She remained silent for a moment.
