"Sister, can I hug him?" Xiaocao's voice had a hint of coquettishness, almost pleading, which shows that she also likes this fluffy little cat.
"Then you have to be careful." Bai Banxia gently put the kitten into her arms.
Xiaocao was so nervous that she didn't dare to express her anger for fear of scaring the kitten, but her face was full of excitement.
"Let's go and put it on brother's bed to give him a surprise." Bai Banxia said to Xiaocao.
"Okay!" Xiaocao hugged the little kitten and walked out cautiously. She was probably too nervous and they were all on the same page, which made the Bai Banxia next to her laugh. Xiaocao was as cute as the little kitten.
The two of them entered Qizhen's house, and Xiaocao slowly put the little milk cat on the bed.
"Meow~meow~" the little cat meowed twice and rolled around on the spot. It probably felt that the quilt on the bed was very comfortable, so it rolled around again.
Xiaocao giggled, "So cute!"
At this time, the little cat stretched out its two small front paws and stepped on the quilt.
"What is it doing? Is it practicing its claws?" Xiaocao asked curiously.
"Uh..." Bai Banxia didn't know either. She spent most of her previous life studying medicine and treating diseases and had no contact with small animals at all.
Zhang Lingzhi walked to the door and said with a smile: "This is the kitten stepping on the milk. This is how they feed when they are young, so stepping on the milk is also a way for it to express its love and attachment."
"Then does it miss its mother?" Xiaocao became worried.
Bai Banxia touched Xiaocao's head and said, "I think it likes it here."
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door. It was Qi Zhen who had returned from training.
He went to get water to wash his hands and face, and when he finished, he found someone in his room.
Bai Banxia hurriedly winked at Xiaocao, and the two of them sat on the edge of the bed to block the little cat.
She made a shushing gesture to her mother again, indicating a surprise for Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen wiped his hands and face and strode into the house.
"You want to see me for something?" he asked.
"It's okay, let's just sit around casually." Bai Banxia said while suppressing a smile.
Qi Zhen felt something was strange, especially Xiaocao, who pursed her lips and suppressed a smile, but it was obvious that she couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Meow..." The little milk cat suddenly meowed slightly, and Qi Zhen was stunned for a moment.
Bai Banxia stood up with a smile, "Originally, I thought you would find out by yourself, but it turned out that this little guy couldn't wait to see his master, so he started barking first."
The little kitten came out and meowed twice more at Qi Zhen. The voice was small and soft, which was particularly cute.
"Master?" Qi Zhen obviously didn't respond.
"Didn't I say that I wanted to give you a gift before? You said that there was a snow-white kitten in your memory. It happened that Aunt Fang's female cat gave birth to a kitten, so I thought of giving it to you." Bai Banxia smiled.
He explained.
Bai Banxia and Xiaocao had already moved away from the bed. Qi Zhen stood blankly, looking at the little milk cat and not knowing what he was thinking.
Bai Banxia hurriedly signaled Xiaocao and her mother to stop talking. Qi Zhen probably thought of something.
After a long while, Qi Zhen finally moved and reached out to gently touch the kitten. His movements were a little cautious, but not unfamiliar.
Bai Banxia looked at it and sighed, after all, he is someone who has raised a cat.
"You will be its owner from now on, give it a name." She said.
Qi Zhen's hand paused, touched it again, and said, "Xue'er."
Bai Banxia looked at him in surprise, "Is Xueer the name of your previous kitten?"
"Well, I suddenly remembered it just now." Qi Zhen nodded, with a smile on his lips. It was obvious that he liked this gift very much and was happy to have remembered something.
"My dad thought he was your sweetheart." Bai Banxia muttered.
"No!" Qi Zhen said with certainty.
Bai Banxia looked a little weird, "But..."
Qi Zhen looked at her and saw her hesitation.
"But Aunt Fang said it is a male cat." Bai Banxia scratched her head, "Isn't it inappropriate to call Xue'er?"
Xiaocao couldn't help it anymore and started to giggle. Zhang Lingzhi also laughed, waved his hand and said, "I'm going to do some work. You guys can think about it slowly."
After she got out of the house, she ran to Bai Tian and said, "Her dad, it turns out that Xue'er, Xiao Qi's sweetheart, is not his sweetheart, but the cat he raised before."
"Is it true?" Bai Tian looked suspicious, "Did that kid remember the past?"
"I seem to have remembered a little bit," Zhang Lingzhi said.
Bai Tian muttered: "It's best to think about it, so as not to linger on it forever."
Zhang Lingzhi was confused when he heard this, "Where to go? Didn't he say that he had no relatives in the south, so he came to seek refuge with us?"
"I mean he should start his own business as soon as possible." Bai Tian hurriedly made a digression and confused him.
"Why do you feel like you don't like Xiao Qi? What a good kid he is." Zhang Lingzhi said.
"You're so handsome, why can't I be jealous?" Bai Tian was a little helpless. What could he say? How could he say that Qi Zhen was not the old man's distant relative at all, but that he had pulled her down from cutting herbs in the back mountain?
In the room, the little cat jumped into Qi Zhen's arms and meowed at him, seemingly dissatisfied with the name "Xue'er".
"It looks like it likes you very much. The little guy knows how to read people and knows who is its owner and who to please." Bai Banxia said with a smile.
Xiaocao looked envious, "It doesn't even jump on me. It seems that it likes my brother the most."
Qi Zhen's eyes softened a little, "Let's call it Snowball."
"Not bad, quite impressive." Bai Banxia found that Qi Zhen was really good at naming.
"Little Snowball, Little Snowball!" Xiaocao shouted happily.
The little kitten spent a lot of time sleeping, and soon yawned and fell asleep in Qi Zhen's arms.
Xiaocao made a shushing gesture, saying that she couldn't disturb Little Snowball's sleep.
Bai Banxia touched Xiaocao's head and whispered: "Then you go brush your teeth, wash your face and go to bed. You should also go to bed early like a little snowball, so that you can grow taller quickly."
"Okay, I'll get up and watch the little snowball tomorrow morning." Xiaocao left obediently.
Bai Banxia was about to give Qi Zhen an acupuncture, but Qi Zhen just sat by the bed holding Snow Qiu.
"Are you sure you don't want to put it down?" she asked, suppressing a smile.
"I'm afraid it's cold." Qi Zhen showed no expression, and his voice was still emotionless, but he obviously liked the gift Bai Banxia gave him.
"Okay, okay, whatever."
Bai Banxia took out the silver needle and started pricking him, chatting with him while pricking him.
"Have you thought of the name of the cat from before? Do you think of anything else?"
Qi Zhen lowered his head, "No."
"Take your time. If you can think of something, it means the treatment is effective." Bai Banxia was slightly disappointed.
"Well, thank you." The corners of his lips curled up, "The gift is very good."
"It must be good, Xiaocao will envy you." Bai Banxia has already finished the acupuncture, and as the treatment progresses, the number of acupuncture is also reduced.
Qi Zhen freed up a hand and suddenly rubbed her head, "Thank you."
"You, you, why are you still rubbing me? You have a cat now. Go play your little snowball." Bai Banxia shouted dissatisfied.
Qi Zhen laughed, but he didn’t dare to laugh too loudly because he had a needle stuck in his head, saying, “It will wake it up.”
