The Cub Comes from Planet Meow 57

Chapter 57: Meow

Jing Zhi and Jing Mimi didn’t stay too long at Miss Bai’s house.

Before leaving, Miss Bai gave them some small desserts to take home and told them the name and location of the dessert shop opened by her boyfriend, welcoming them to visit.

It was located on the commercial street not far from the community. Miss Bai met and got to know him because she often went there to buy desserts.

Sometimes fate is just like that.

Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng picked up the kitten Mimi because Jing Zhi suddenly wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes. There was a seller at the entrance of the community at that time, so the two put on thick coats and rushed out. On the way back from buying roasted sweet potatoes, they met a beige Scottish Fold kitten covered in dirt.

At that time, Jiang Suifeng even said: “What a coincidence, how about calling it Sweet Potato?”

But Jing Zhi felt its coat color had nothing to do with sweet potatoes, and it didn’t look like a sweet potato either, so the name was weird.

There was no food for cats at home at that time. They threw caution to the wind and fed it some leftover rice from dinner, heated and mixed with goat milk powder, just to fill its stomach first. The little guy ate very happily.

Plus it reacted to the teasing sound of “Mimi,” so Jing Zhi had an idea: “Let’s call it Mimi.”

Mi for rice (Mi Fan), Mi for beige (Mi Huang), homophonic to Mimi (kitty).

On the way back, Jing Mimi listened to Papa telling the origin of the kitten Mimi’s name and liked the name “Mimi” more and more.

After listening, Jing Mimi asked again: “Then what is my British name? Brother Xiao Ze has an English name.”

This stumped Jing Zhi. Let alone an English name, he and Jiang Suifeng hadn’t even discussed the formal name on the household registration. It couldn’t just be Jing Mimi; it was too informal. Calling him that when he was little was fine, but it would be strange when he grew up.

But there was no rush. Anyway, it was still the integration period, and there was still a long time before Mimi registered for kindergarten after the New Year.

Jing Zhi thought for a moment and said, “We’ll choose a British name after Mimi visits the UK.”

Perfectly muddled through.

Jing Mimi had no plans to go to the UK for the time being. Although he was curious about British names, he didn’t insist on having one.

Back home, Jing Mimi practiced writing obediently for a while.

The copybook was newly bought by Jiang Suifeng, carefully selected for a long time. Jing Mimi practiced at least one page every day.

He also planned to teach Mimi calligraphy after a while, passing down Grandpa Jiang’s good handwriting.

With good handwriting, he could get higher scores in the high school and college entrance examinations in the future.

Of course, if Mimi wasn’t good at studying, they could also support him.

Their cat-child just needed to be safe, healthy, and happy.

Unlike the older generation’s thinking, they didn’t raise a child to prepare for old age. They were simply immersed in raising the cub itself. Watching Mimi grow up day by day, the satisfaction and pleasure were indescribable.

While Jing Mimi was practicing writing, Jing Zhi also started streaming for work. He turned on the surveillance camera at home and glanced at the little cub outside from time to time to ensure he was fine.

Recently, no new horror games were released, so Jing Zhi collaborated with other streamer friends to play an online game, a mildly horrifying cat theme.

Each player would play as a tragically deceased kitten, looking for the cause of death and the murderer. During this period, they would encounter many dangers but could help each other.

It was quite interesting.

Especially this grotesque cute style, healing and depressing at the same time.

While streaming, Jing Zhi suddenly saw a golden fan name.

[Little Jing’s Only Husband]: Coming to watch wifey’s stream.

[“Little Jing’s Only Husband” sent a gift Rose]

Jing Zhi: “…”

***

Coming back from work in the evening, Jiang Suifeng specially detoured to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of flowers for Jing Zhi and Jing Mimi respectively.

There was only the rose option in the live stream room, but there were many kinds of flowers in the flower shop.

The one for Jing Zhi was still a bouquet of Chinese roses as usual.

The one for Jing Mimi was a bouquet of Eustoma (Lisianthus).

Eustoma was a flower that cats liked very much. The kitten Mimi used to be obsessed with it, biting it like catnip. Afraid that eating it accidentally would be bad for his stomach, they bought less later.

Now that the kitten had turned into a little human, there was no need to worry too much. At least he could understand human language; if told not to bite, he wouldn’t bite.

Everything was fine until taking the elevator upstairs.

Finally, with a “ding,” the elevator door opened, and Jiang Suifeng couldn’t wait to step out.

The next second, he met a twisted and old cat face, vaguely revealing a bit of eeriness and horror.

It got dark early in winter. It was already gray outside now. Although there were voice-activated lights in the corridor, they weren’t bright, adding a bit of eeriness instead.

Because he secretly watched Jing Zhi’s stream while slacking off in the afternoon, Jiang Suifeng’s nerves were still a bit tight. Caught off guard and startled, he rushed to the door quickly.

Jing Zhi was making cat ear snacks with Jing Mimi, preparing to send them to Zhu Shan after finishing.

After Jing Zhi finished streaming in the afternoon, he knocked on the opposite door, but no one answered. He should not be at home. He called the other party via WeChat, and the other party said he probably didn’t have time to come over for dinner at night but could pick up the cat ears.

Jing Mimi liked kneading dough very much, kneading until his small hands were sore but refusing to rest.

The later frying part was almost all done by Jing Zhi. After all, the little guy was too young and prone to accidents and hurting himself. Hot oil was no joke.

Jing Mimi was also obedient, accompanying Jing Zhi and eagerly watching pieces of cat ears take shape, his nose surrounded by fragrance, unable to wait to taste them.

When Jiang Suifeng came back, the cat ears were almost done frying, put into a big bowl, waiting to cool down and be bagged.

Jing Zhi blew on a piece to cool it down, just about to feed it to Jing Mimi, when he heard the door opening.

Soon, a figure pounced straight at him, holding two bouquets of flowers.

“There… there is a particularly evil grandma cat…” Jiang Suifeng’s chest heaved rapidly, his voice panting.

Jing Zhi: “?”

Jing Mimi also tilted his little head.

Grandma cat?

Not long after, Jiang Suifeng followed behind Jing Zhi and Jing Mimi, with a cat ear stuffed in his mouth, opening the door of his home again.

The voice-activated lights turned on in response.

In the corridor, the door of the neighbor’s house opposite was open. Some boxes and bags were piled at the door, looking like they would be used for moving. The lights were also on inside, and figures could be vaguely seen moving.

Could it be that Zhu Shan was preparing to move away?

Before Jing Zhi could think deeply, he asked the person behind him: “Where’s the cat?”

“Don’t know,” Jiang Suifeng chewed the cat ear in his mouth crunchily. “It was right there just now, scared me. Looks so much like a ghost cat in the game you played this afternoon.”

Jing Mimi: “Could it be Uncle’s cat?”

Zhu Shan didn’t raise a cat. Even though he liked the little orange cat very much, he didn’t choose to adopt it. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be a cat in his house.

Jing Zhi held Jing Mimi’s small hand. “Let’s go, go over and take a look.”

Jiang Suifeng, who was a head taller, followed closely behind them, gently grasping Jing Zhi’s clothes.

If there was any movement, he would definitely hug Jing Zhi tightly from behind like a koala immediately and not let go.

Actually, he wasn’t so afraid of those things before, and even if he was afraid, he wouldn’t show it. But having a presence with a strong sense of security beside him, having something to rely on, people would unconsciously become “fragile.” It was the confidence given by the other party.

Now, he had one more source of confidence.

Jing Mimi aggressively wanted to find the grandma cat that scared Big Papa.

Arriving at Zhu Shan’s door, Jing Zhi poked his head inside and called out: “Mr. Zhu, are you there?”

Soon a familiar voice responded, “Here.”

Appearing along with the approaching footsteps were Zhu Shan and a woman about his age.

The woman had a gentle face, a slender figure, her hair casually tied up with a claw clip, no makeup, and simple clothes.

Jing Zhi: “This is…”

Zhu Shan subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his head and answered in a low voice: “My wife.”

Jing Zhi said “Oh oh” twice and politely called out: “Sister-in-law.”

It was normal for Zhu Shan to be married at this age, but he had been in prison for several years. They had lived opposite for so long, yet this was the first time they saw this woman. Wonder if she was Zhu Shan’s former wife.

Or maybe they met after he was released from prison. Anyway, it was good as long as the two lived well together.

The person taking care of Zhu Shan during this time was most likely this woman.

The woman smiled at them. “Zhu Shan told me about you guys. Thank you for being willing to believe him. Come in and sit.”

The three didn’t refuse. Jing Zhi handed Jing Mimi’s small hand to Jiang Suifeng and went back to get the cat ears made in the afternoon, closing the door by the way.

Except for him, this task couldn’t be entrusted to anyone else.

Just as Jing Zhi left, a long tail rubbed against Jiang Suifeng’s ankle.

A deep and hoarse voice followed: “Meow.”

Jiang Suifeng reflexively picked up Jing Mimi and jumped away.

Jing Mimi’s feet left the ground, and his little head was also a bit confused, but he quickly locked onto the figure of a cat following the meow.

The grandma cat appeared!

Indeed a cat very much like a grandma. Its features were flat and all drooped down. Its coat color was also silver-white, like the color of a human grandma’s hair.

Not only the appearance, but from its voice and movements, one could also feel that it was indeed very old, belonging to the category of old cats.

Seeing this, Zhu Shan hurriedly explained: “This is Moon, a Chinchilla cat, already 20 years old. Very good personality, doesn’t bite or scratch people, don’t be afraid.”

20 years old!

Jing Mimi’s eyes widened slightly.

You know, a cat’s lifespan is much shorter than a human’s. Living to 20 years old is very, very difficult.

The kitten Mimi only lived to 8 years old, not even half of it.

Although it was 20 years old and looked old, it still moved freely, even more agile and comfortable than the 8-year-old kitten Mimi.

Little Mi felt ashamed of his inferiority.

…

When Jing Zhi closed the door and came back with the packed cat ears, he saw the little cub squatting in front of the suspected grandma cat, holding a homemade cat treat in his hand, saying to it very politely: “Grandma Cat, let me feed you.”

Grandma Cat also cooperated and took a bite, chewing slowly.

Jing Zhi: “?”
