"Meow..." Hearing there was food, the two little strays' eyes lit up, and they responded in unison.
"Here..." Xia Qing opened a small bag of diced lamb, took out two small pieces, and placed them in front of the two little strays.
"Meow... Thank you." The two little strays lowered their heads to sniff the lamb, then meowed their thanks to Xia Qing. But instead of immediately taking the meat and leaving, they took a few steps forward, moving closer to her.
'What are they doing?' Xia Qing wondered to herself, watching the two little strays' actions.
"Meow..." The two little strays stared at Xia Qing with their big, round eyes. 'Isn't Zhou Tongtong's mom going to pet us?' they thought.
If any other human had fed them, the two little strays would have grabbed the food and run off immediately. It was only out of consideration for Zhou Tongtong that they felt they could accept Xia Qing's food and, in return, let her pet them.
