"Kids, look what the King has brought back for you!"
Brother Nan held Tuanzi in one hand, hiding her behind his back. Tuanzi was exceedingly obedient, letting herself be held without moving or fussing. Her limbs dangled naturally, and she accepted her impending fate with a speed and completeness hard for an ordinary person to imagine.
"Is it Tang Monk's Flesh?"
"Is it something to eat?"
Mianmian and Qian Qian asked almost simultaneously.
Hearing all this, Tuanzi was calm as still water, not even blinking, and even found time to scratch an itch.
"TA-DA!"
Brother Nan brought Tuanzi out from behind his back and presented her to the three roommates. "That cat you were just discussing? I managed to bring her back. She'll be staying with us in our dorm for the next few days."
"Really?" Mianmian asked.
"Would I lie?" Brother Nan replied.
"How did you manage to bring her back?" Qian Qian asked.
"I used a little trick," Brother Nan responded vaguely.
