Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Visiting the Fluffy Ones on Their Diets

On the stage of the activity center, Fox Erniu and Fox Sansan were shaking their little bottoms, leading the unusually chubby little animals below in a weight-loss exercise.

If any of the little animals were being lazy, Fox Dabao would press a horn next to it.

And Fox Xiao Wu was responsible for observing any little animals showing signs of discomfort. If none were found, he would cheer them on with his baby voice.

As for Fox Si Bao, who was on the larger side, he was accompanying Earlobe Mother in doing the weight-loss exercise.

“These little foxes are really a handful, they’re so full of energy!”

Zhuo Yi watched the busy little foxes, her eyes full of affection: “We staff are tired, but they’re not.”

“It must be hard to take care of these five fox cubs every day!”

Xu Ying scratched her head: “Well, it’s okay?”

She usually just checks the health of the fox cubs. With the company of Little Sand Cat, Black Jungle Cat, Cheetah, and other furry friends, the fox cubs’ abundant energy is thoroughly exhausted, and they fall asleep as soon as they’re back. Moreover, her 032 rescue station has a world champion-level sports student and coach helping out.

The weight-loss scene was being live-streamed on the rescue station’s main account, while on the second floor, veterinarians from the rescue station were online, answering pet weight-loss questions from netizens.

Everything was orderly, much to Xu Ying’s amazement.

While Xu Ying and Zhuo Yi were waiting for the little foxes to finish their work, a staff member suddenly came running from the control room on the second floor, looking around the activity center: “Has Little Xu Station Chief returned? Where is Little Xu Station Chief?”

“I’m here, what’s up?”

Xu Ying waved to the staff member.

The staff member quickly ran over, gasping for air: “Weren’t we live streaming to answer netizens’ questions about pet weight loss?”

“We just encountered an unusual case. A young lady’s orange cat is gaining weight, but we can’t find the reason for the obesity. Both the owner and our staff are bewildered.”

“I heard Little Xu Station Chief was back, so I hurried over to ask you for help, to see if you could directly communicate with the kitty to find out what’s wrong.”

To reassure Xu Ying, Zhuo Yi said, “You go ahead, I’ll bring the ear fox cubs to the control room on the second floor after they get off work.”

“Okay, thanks a lot~”

Xu Ying and the staff member quickly headed to the control room on the second floor.

In the center of the control room on the second floor, there was a large screen that showed a live stream of the small animals in the activity center doing weight-loss exercises on one side, and the video feed from the netizens who were connected online on the other.

The live stream teaching small animals to lose weight was quite popular, with over ten thousand people online, as shown in the upper right corner of the stream.

When the netizens saw Xu Ying appear, they became even more enthusiastic.

[This orange cat is so fat it looks like a truck parked on the owner’s body!]

[Wow, Little Xu Station Chief is making a cameo!]

[Station Chief Xu, please diagnose this fat orange cat; we’re so curious about why it’s gaining weight. Is it a moral decline or a distortion of human nature?]

Before Xu Ying appeared, Xiao Nuan had already described Juzi’s situation to the rescue station staff, so the netizens were already aware of the story and their curiosity was piqued.

[The cat owner says she only feeds the orange cat ten pieces of cat food a day, but the cat keeps getting fatter. She even stopped the cat food, but the cat still doesn’t show signs of hunger. It’s really bizarre!]

The cat owner was a young lady who looked like she had just started working and was about the same age as Xu Ying.

The young lady obviously knew Xu Ying, and her voice became excited when she saw her: “Hello, Little Xu Station Chief! I’m the owner of the cat in question; you can call me Xiao Nuan!”

With that, she struggled to pick up a chubby orange cat from off-screen. The cat was so plump it looked like an oval ball.

The process of Xiao Nuan bringing the orange cat over seemed like she was using the effort needed to lift a gas canister.

The orange cat lazily lay on her lap, stretching its “graceful” body.

After catching her breath, Xiao Nuan said to Xu Ying: “Little Xu Station Chief, here’s the story.”

“My cat’s name is Juzi. Ever since I moved, it started gaining weight inexplicably.”

“I heard obesity affects a cat’s health, so I started reducing Juzi’s cat food, but it kept getting fatter.”

“I’m usually not home because I have to work. To find out why the cat is gaining weight, I installed monitoring cameras at home, but they show that Juzi just stays at home all day doing nothing.”

Xu Ying couldn’t help asking Xiao Nuan: “What about at night? Does Juzi go out at night?”

Sometimes, there are blind spots in the surveillance, and it might be hard to see what a cat is doing when it’s dark.

Xiao Nuan frowned and shook her head hesitantly: “No, the doors and windows are closed, and at night Juzi always sleeps next to my bed. I have to wake up at 5:30 AM to catch the early train, and Juzi is still curled up by my bed then.”

“I took Juzi to see the doctor. The doctor said Juzi was gaining weight because it was eating too much and advised me to feed Juzi less and encourage it to exercise more.”

Xiao Nuan, looking increasingly troubled, continued, “I’ve recently even stopped Juzi’s food, yet it doesn’t seem to look for food or bother me.”

“This is all just too weird! I’m even starting to suspect that the rental house is haunted, and something invisible is secretly feeding Juzi.”

At that moment, a sudden gust of wind blew in through the open window, startling Xiao Nuan to the core, and she hurriedly moved Juzi aside to close the window.

Just as she turned around to close the window, the wardrobe in the room suddenly moved!

“Ah!!!”

Xiao Nuan screamed in fright, her face pale as a ghost.

“Station Chief, there’s a ghost in my rental apartment!”

The netizens in the live stream witnessed this and were also scared. Moments later, the bullet comments flooded in like the tide.

[Oh my, is this cat possessed by some spirit? Or is there something else living inside it, making it gain weight?]

[Don’t talk nonsense, this is a scientific society, striving for prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony!]

[That scene just now gave me goosebumps. Is this really not a horror movie script?]

[Ahhhh, mom, I was just watching a little animal weight-loss live stream, how did it turn into a paranormal event channel?]

[Could it be that the “thing” in the rental house knows Xiao Nuan has sensed its presence, warning her to move out?]

[It’s definitely something unclean in the rental house, forcing Xiao Nuan to leave. Xiao Nuan better move out quickly, or there might be a life-threatening danger!]

As Xiao Nuan watched the bullet comments, her eyes became increasingly fearful, like a scared bird: “Am I, do I have to move out?”

Seeing that Xiao Nuan and the netizens were getting more and more into the paranormal direction, with Xiao Nuan’s voice trembling, Xu Ying quickly interrupted her: “Don’t think like that; there must be some reason we haven’t figured out that’s causing Juzi to gain weight.”
