The Cub Comes from Planet Meow 69

Chapter 69: Meow

Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng were also stunned, doubting what they heard.

Rabies… turning into a dog?

If an adult said this, one would have to question their mental state, but coming from a little cub… it didn’t seem necessary to make a fuss.

The shocking things they said when they were little were much weirder than this.

Children’s little brains were just this whimsical.

Before the two could say anything, Jing Mimi was already holding Wang Qiuqiu’s small hand tightly and walking forward anxiously, while looking up and urging them: “Papa, take Brother Qiuqiu to the hospital for treatment quickly!”

Jing Zhi, Jiang Suifeng: “…”

Wang Qiuqiu held Jing Mimi’s small hand back, stopped him, and said, “It can’t be cured, Mimi. Except for becoming like a dog, there won’t be any other problems… Mimi, will you hate me?”

After saying that, Wang Qiuqiu “woofed” twice again.

Imitated quite well.

Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng looked at each other, seeing that Wang Qiuqiu was joking, and didn’t know whether to expose him for a moment.

Jing Mimi was about to cry from anxiety.

About to turn into a dog, yet Brother Qiuqiu isn’t anxious at all, talking about hate or not. Curing the illness is the most important thing right now.

Jing Mimi couldn’t care less about answering his question and continued to pull him towards the car, wanting to take him to the hospital for treatment quickly, not wanting him to turn into a barking dog.

Unexpectedly, walking too fast, he slipped and fell on the snow with Wang Qiuqiu.

Fortunately, they were wearing thick clothes, and the fall on flat ground didn’t hurt.

The fall was so sudden that neither Jing Zhi nor Jiang Suifeng reacted immediately to steady them, so they could only help them up from the snow quickly.

Jing Mimi was picked up by Jing Zhi immediately, and the residual snow on his body was patted off.

But Wang Qiuqiu dodged Jiang Suifeng’s hand, supported himself on the ground with both hands, used all four limbs, and crawled quickly on the ground like a dog.

Barking while crawling: “Woof woof!”

The little white dog in Jiang Suifeng’s cage looked curiously at the little cub crawling and making similar sounds, tilting its little head in confusion.

Jing Mimi was really scared now. His eyes turned red instantly, and he urged fragilely in Jing Zhi’s arms: “Papa, take Brother Qiuqiu to the hospital quickly!”

Jing Zhi, Jiang Suifeng: “…”

Let alone Mimi, even they were a bit scared seeing this scene.

Wang Qiuqiu always gave the impression of a steady and reliable child, much more mature than his peers, with a very stable personality. This was the first time they felt his childish craziness as a child.

Wang Qiuqiu crawled to Jing Mimi while barking.

Although Jing Mimi was scared, he didn’t avoid him like he did with other approaching dogs. Instead, he bent down and helped him up with force.

Wang Qiuqiu crawled on the ground for a while, his small hands frozen cold, melted snow leaving a damp chill in his palms.

Jing Mimi urged again: “Papa!”

—Go to the hospital!

Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng only felt a headache.

Going to the hospital in this situation would be a waste of medical resources. They wouldn’t even know which department to register for, and might be scolded by the doctor. It would be no different from a wasted trip.

The most important thing now was to figure out what Qiuqiu wanted to do—whether they should expose him directly and end this farce.

Wang Qiuqiu seemed afraid of being taken to the hospital and having the truth exposed, so he stopped crawling like a dog and said obediently to Jing Mimi: “It’s okay, Mimi. No need to go to the hospital. It can’t be cured. Just occasionally can’t control being a bit like a dog. Will you be afraid and hate me?”

A guess gradually emerged in Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng’s minds: Qiuqiu might be testing himself to alleviate the fear of dogs in Mimi’s heart.

When they were still in the welfare institute, Qiuqiu occasionally tried to make Mimi accept Big Black, although the effect was minimal.

If so, they wouldn’t expose Qiuqiu.

More and more people kept pets nowadays, especially dogs. They had to walk them several times a day. Sometimes walking a short distance in the community, one could encounter several dogs.

When Mimi grew up a bit and became more independent, able to go out alone, he might encounter many dogs and have to face them alone.

Some people had high quality and would keep their dogs on a leash, which didn’t matter much; just detour. Some people had low quality, not only not keeping them on a leash but also letting dogs pounce on others at will, posing certain safety hazards.

They had long wanted to train Mimi to reduce his fear of dogs.

Qiuqiu’s move played right into their hands.

The two planned to turn a blind eye.

Regarding Wang Qiuqiu’s sentence, Jing Zhi thought for a moment and echoed: “Rabies indeed can’t be cured.”

This was a fact.

But Wang Qiuqiu didn’t have rabies.

As long as it dispelled his cub’s thought of rushing to the hospital.

Papa was omniscient in Mimi’s heart, the truth. Since Papa said it couldn’t be cured, it must be true. Jing Mimi’s mood instantly dropped to rock bottom.

He said to Jiang Suifeng holding the air carrier: “Papa, put the dog in the trunk. Be careful, don’t get bitten too.”

Brother Qiuqiu had already become like this; Papa couldn’t become like this too. He didn’t want everyone around him to turn into dogs.

While saying to Wang Qiuqiu: “Brother Qiuqiu, even if you turn into a dog, I won’t hate you.”

No matter what Brother Qiuqiu turned into, he wouldn’t hate him.

Wang Qiuqiu’s mood brightened instantly.

Mimi didn’t hate him as a dog!

Great!

Wang Qiuqiu immediately “woofed” happily again.

Jing Mimi’s eyes became redder, but he held back his tears, tightened his grip on Wang Qiuqiu’s small hand, and was carried into the car by Papa with him.

After getting in the car, Wang Qiuqiu arched his little head in Jing Mimi’s arms like a puppy, licked his palm with his tongue, and barked a few times.

Jing Mimi had gradually gotten used to Wang Qiuqiu turning into a puppy.

He mimicked his papas’ actions of petting cats before, stroking Wang Qiuqiu’s head and scratching his chin.

Wang Qiuqiu arched in his arms, squinting comfortably, the non-existent puppy tail at the base of his spine wagging rapidly.

He was the first puppy Mimi didn’t hate!

…

The car didn’t drive directly to the rescue station but stopped in the parking line at the entrance of the community.

It was lunch time. Fill their stomachs before going. The two little guys still wanted to eat the beef noodles they had in the morning.

For a short distance, Jing Mimi looked at Wang Qiuqiu barking from time to time, wanting to cover his mouth very much, but held back, afraid he would think he hated him. He asked the two sitting in the front row abruptly: “Papa, if bitten by a kitten, will one get mad cat disease?”

Jing Zhi, Jiang Suifeng: “…?”

Jing Zhi roughly guessed what his cub was thinking and answered without hesitation: “No, there is no mad cat disease in the world.”

He was afraid if he answered “Yes,” Mimi would find a kitten to bite Qiuqiu.

Jing Mimi was a bit disappointed hearing this.

Although he had accepted the fact that Brother Qiuqiu became a puppy, he still didn’t like puppies and didn’t want to hear Brother Qiuqiu barking like a puppy. If being bitten by a kitten could turn him into a kitten, it would be great. Compared to a puppy, he preferred Brother Qiuqiu to become a kitten.

“Will Brother Qiuqiu turn into a real puppy? A white puppy like that one.” Jing Mimi asked again.

Jing Zhi answered helplessly: “No, don’t worry, Brother Qiuqiu will always be human.”

But Wang Qiuqiu said: “Even if I turn into a dog, I won’t become a white dog, but a German Shepherd like Mumu.”

Jing Mimi asked in confusion: “Why?”

Mimi’s papas were still there. Wang Qiuqiu couldn’t tell anyone other than Mimi his identity as a puppy, so he made up a story: “Because Mumu is the dog raised by my cousin. My cousin and I are relatives, Mumu and I are also relatives. Relatives look alike. Mumu is a German Shepherd, so I am also a German Shepherd.”

Jing Mimi thought Wang Qiuqiu made a lot of sense.

Just like he was a Scottish Fold, if his papas were also cats, they would definitely be Scottish Folds too—he was Papa’s baby, he should look like Papa.

Jiang Suifeng smiled and turned the steering wheel, turning the car to the left.

Jing Zhi decided not to interrupt the whimsical conversation of the little cubs, silently opened his phone, and shared this matter with Wang Qiuqiu’s parents.

The two on the other end of the phone fell silent simultaneously after learning about this.

After a long silence, a request message came: [Can you record an audio of Qiuqiu barking?]

Jing Zhi didn’t think there was anything wrong with this request. Just like he liked hearing Mimi meow, it was normal to like hearing cubs imitate animal sounds. He immediately found the right time, recorded an audio of Qiuqiu barking, and sent it over.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Yuan and Wang Shao listened to this short “woof woof” repeatedly.

The little cub’s voice was soft and cute. Although deliberately suppressed to be calm and reserved, it couldn’t hide the cuteness at all.

Qiuqiu wasn’t as lively as Mimi. After returning, he almost never imitated any puppy sounds, nor could he confess his identity to them. This was the first time they heard the little human turned from a puppy barking, and they treasured it very much.

The two long-pressed the voice message to save it casually.

Many years later, during the New Year reunion dinner, the grown-up Wang Qiuqiu and Jing Mimi were chatting with the elders and about to slip away when they suddenly heard a “woof woof” from Wu Yuan’s phone.

Wang Qiuqiu: “…?”

Jing Mimi: “!”

That night, Jing Mimi made Wang Qiuqiu bark like when he was little several times. Officer Wang, who was usually meticulous and self-disciplined, barked until his ears turned red.

But as an exchange, for every bark, he could get a kiss from the kitten.

…

At this time, Jiang Suifeng parked the car in the parking line at the entrance of the community, got out of the car with Jing Zhi and the two little cubs, and walked towards the beef noodle shop together.

On the way to the beef noodle shop, Jing Mimi saw a pile of unknown poop in a corner and hurriedly pulled Wang Qiuqiu to speed up.

Dogs eat poop.

He was afraid Brother Qiuqiu with “rabies” would also want to eat poop.

He could invite Brother Qiuqiu to eat durian that smelled bad but tasted sweet at home, but he couldn’t watch Brother Qiuqiu eat poop.

Wang Qiuqiu also noticed the wild poop and felt Mimi’s small movement, having mixed feelings in his heart.

—He really doesn’t eat poop!

Wang Qiuqiu screamed in his heart, continued to pretend nothing happened, and was led forward by Jing Mimi.

One day, he would clear his name.

The beef noodle shop business was booming. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner time, the shop was almost full.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a completely empty table this time. The two adults and two little cubs shared a table with a girl, ordered three bowls of beef noodles like in the morning, and added extra beef specially.

The puppy in the air carrier was placed at Jiang Suifeng’s feet, obedient, neither noisy nor fussy.

While waiting for the beef noodles to be ready, Jing Mimi’s attention was originally on Wang Qiuqiu, afraid he would show some puppy behavior again. But suddenly, his gaze turned sharply and fell on a person walking in with a dog at the door.

Being led was a black and yellow native dog.

The person leading the dog was the kitten Mimi’s former nightmare.

That person looked around and walked unhurriedly towards their direction.

Jing Mimi’s mind went blank. His body reacted before his brain—jumping off the stool, blocking in front of the table, reaching out his small hand, pursing his lips tightly, his eyes slightly red.

Bad guy… not allowed to approach his Papa and friend.
