Chapter 72: Meow
The dark brown puppy eyes met the gaze of the kitten biting its nose, and a grievance-filled, coquettish whimper came from its throat.
“Mimi, it’s me.”
The Scottish Fold kitten froze completely, his pupils, which had shrunk into a line, gradually becoming round.
Why did I hear Brother Qiuqiu’s voice?
The dog head drooped again, resting on the cloud, bringing the kitten biting its nose down onto the cloud as well.
The kitten Mimi propped himself up and let go of his mouth.
“Brother Qiuqiu?”
Although in cat form, it wasn’t the real world, so he could make sounds beyond meowing.
“Mimi,” the German Shepherd nudged the kitten in front of it gently with its nose, “this is my puppy form.”
The kitten’s pupils became perfectly round.
It really is Brother Qiuqiu!
Papa said, “What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.” Dreams are linked to reality.
It must be because he just experienced Brother Qiuqiu being bitten by a dog and turning into a dog that Brother Qiuqiu appeared in this form in his dream.
Knowing it was Brother Qiuqiu, the kitten Mimi no longer felt repulsed, but facing such a big dog, he didn’t take the initiative to approach for a moment, just raised his paw and covered the dog’s nose.
Until now, he still thought he was in his dream.
The next second, the German Shepherd under his paw said: “Mimi, this is an illusion created for us by the Cat God and the Dog God. The secret I want to tell you is—I am actually really a dog. Like you, I turned into a little human and returned to Earth after death.”
The Scottish Fold kitten froze completely.
If only the “Cat God” appeared, he could still think it was his dream, but the “Dog God” couldn’t possibly appear in his dream.
As the words fell, a cat and a dog spirit appeared out of thin air beside them.
The Cat God curled up on the Dog God’s head and said to the kitten: “Mimi, what Qiuqiu said is true. This is not a dream.”
The Dog God didn’t speak, just looked at the two little guys gently. Because Mimi was afraid of dogs, it wasn’t sure if Mimi would be scared by it.
The kitten was still in a petrified state like a hamster, unable to accept so much information at once.
So, there is not only a Cat God but also a Dog God in the world.
So, Brother Qiuqiu is also a little human transformed from a small animal like him.
So, Brother Qiuqiu is really a dog.
Then…
Are there other gods in the world? Mouse God, Rabbit God, Pig God or something.
Brother Qiuqiu should be the German Shepherd in Auntie Wu Yuan’s phone. Uncle Wang Shao and Auntie Wu Yuan were originally his mom and dad.
What story did Brother Qiuqiu have before?
While the kitten Mimi was dazing, the Cat God suddenly floated down from the Dog God’s head, picked him up by the scruff of his neck, and put him on the puppy Qiuqiu’s back.
The German Shepherd was large and had a thick back, allowing the kitten to nestle completely into its fur.
This feeling was very novel.
Before, the kitten Mimi would never snuggle up to a dog so intimately, but now the dog underneath him was Brother Qiuqiu, his best friend, and he was put there by the Cat God he trusted most.
The kitten Mimi moved his paws nervously, feeling the contact between his paw pads and the dog fur, and his tail perked up.
The Cat God returned to the Dog God’s head, and the figures of the two gods gradually disappeared, leaving only an ethereal sentence: “Mimi, just get along with Qiuqiu like before. Although he used to be a dog, you won’t hate him even so, right?”
The Scottish Fold kitten gradually relaxed a bit.
The Cat God was right.
No matter what Brother Qiuqiu became, he wouldn’t hate Brother Qiuqiu.
Moreover, he had turned from a dog into a human now.
Feeling the stiff body of the kitten on his back gradually softening and finding a comfortable place to nestle, the puppy Qiuqiu’s drooping tail perked up happily.
“Mimi, I wanted to tell you this secret a long time ago, but you rejected dogs too much. I was afraid you would hate me, so I didn’t dare to say it.”
The kitten had curled into a fluffy ball on the dog’s back. Hearing this, he replied without thinking: “Brother Qiuqiu, I will never hate you.”
Brother Qiuqiu was the first human friend the little human Mimi made on Earth. They spent many warm nights in the welfare institute and kept in touch after leaving. He was his best friend.
And now, learning that the other party had a similar experience to himself, the relationship became even more unique.
The puppy Qiuqiu was even happier. His tail wagged like a propeller, carrying the kitten on his back and spinning in a circle on the spot.
“Mimi, I’ll take you for a ride!”
“Meow.” Mimi didn’t refuse.
In the clouds, the dog carried the curled-up Scottish Fold kitten on his back and ran cheerfully.
Mimi didn’t expect a dog’s back to be so warm and reassuring.
“Brother Qiuqiu, can you tell me your story?”
“Sure.”
“Before meeting Mom and Dad, I was a police dog…”
Running while asking and answering.
The passing wind was full of meowing and woofing confessions.
…
Looking at the two little cubs sleeping snuggled together in the rearview mirror, Jiang Suifeng drove even more smoothly.
The heating in the car was comfortable, and the person in the passenger seat also fell asleep unknowingly, head leaning crookedly on the seat, two soft strands of hair sticking up.
At a red light, Jiang Suifeng stopped the car steadily, looked around quickly, leaned close to the cheek of the person in the passenger seat, and planted a brief kiss on the corner of his lips.
Afternoon drowsiness is hard to avoid; kissing the wife wakes one up.
…
After exchanging secrets, the puppy Qiuqiu stopped running and lay down because of the kitten’s command.
The kitten Mimi climbed up his head along his back, propped two paws on it, and freshly explored the feeling of watching the scenery from a dog’s head.
The German Shepherd’s ears were pointed and large, standing tall, sandwiching the kitten in the middle, a very comfortable viewing platform.
After watching the scenery from the head, the kitten Mimi crawled around the puppy along the back again, finally arriving at the dog tail.
The German Shepherd’s tail was also large. The kitten Mimi hugged the fluffy tail with his whole body, rising and falling with the tail’s movement, having a great time playing.
Finally played enough, and heartfelt words were all confessed clearly. The kitten Mimi landed steadily from the dog tail, came to its head, suddenly stuck out his small pink tongue, and licked the dog nose.
The puppy Qiuqiu was stunned.
After licking, the kitten sat obediently in front of it, tilting his little head slightly to the left at a small angle, asking it: “Still hurt?”
So it was because of this.
The puppy Qiuqiu couldn’t help but recall the interesting scene of the kitten biting his nose, buried his nose into his soft embrace, and answered: “Doesn’t hurt anymore.”
The kitten Mimi then felt relieved, patted its head lightly with his paw pads, murmuring: “Should we go back?”
He still remembered they were sitting in the car heading to Uncle Shen and Auntie Shen’s house. Papa sat in front, and he and Brother Qiuqiu sat in the back.
The puppy Qiuqiu hummed, “Let’s go back.”
As the words fell, the kitten Mimi felt his eyelids heavy and gradually lost consciousness.
…
When he opened his eyes again, Jing Mimi found himself leaning against Wang Qiuqiu, sitting in the back seat of the car, his body feeling refreshed and comfortable after waking up from a nap.
The car was still moving, and Big Papa’s eyes could be seen in the rearview mirror.
Wang Qiuqiu also woke up and suddenly “woofed” at Jing Mimi.
Jing Mimi met his gaze, still a bit unaccustomed to the sudden switch from kitten to little human. After a long while, he responded dully: “Meow?”
Brainwaves of dream and reality matched. Wang Qiuqiu “woofed” even more vigorously after hearing this.
Jiang Suifeng driving: “…”
Very cute, but what’s with the slight weirdness?
…
Jing Zhi was woken up by meowing and woofing sounds. Not long after waking up, the car stopped at a new community.
Shen Ziyuan had been waiting downstairs for a long time. He took the air carrier and Chestnut’s mouse toy from the trunk and took them to visit the new home.
The new house had already been decorated, warm and comfortable. Shen Luo and the baby could move in directly after returning from the confinement center.
Both of their original families weren’t very good. Shen Luo was disliked and treated partially by her family because of her congenital ear defect. Shen Ziyuan’s parents died accidentally when he was very young, and he lived under others’ roofs since childhood. He filled in City A, far away from home, for university and stayed here after graduation, never going back.
Therefore, even after having a baby, no elders would disturb their small family in the name of helping to take care of the baby.
They had decided long ago to hire an auntie (nanny) after returning from the confinement center to slightly reduce the burden of childcare.
Sometimes cold monetary transactions were more comfortable.
After visiting the new home, the group went to the confinement center to visit Shen Luo and the baby.
Compared to when she was in the hospital, Shen Luo recovered a lot of vitality, and the baby was also livelier.
But perhaps because the baby just woke up from sleep and saw so many new people, she suddenly started whimpering again.
Shen Luo was used to the baby dry howling occasionally and coaxed her familiarly.
Newborn babies can’t speak yet and don’t have many skills. Sometimes they cry not because they want to cry, but to express some inexpressible emotions.
Just as Shen Luo was coaxing the baby, the sounds of two little cubs meowing suddenly rang out, one after another.
On the way here, Jing Mimi told Wang Qiuqiu about the baby liking to hear cat meows. Hearing the baby cry, he immediately pulled Wang Qiuqiu to meow together to coax the baby.
Wang Qiuqiu turned into Meow Qiuqiu again.
…
For dinner, Shen Ziyuan treated them to a western restaurant and ordered children’s steak sets for Jing Mimi and Wang Qiuqiu.
Both little cubs ate very happily.
At the end of the meal, Wang Qiuqiu dipped french fries in ketchup and drew a puppy and a kitten on the plate. Although simple, the general outline could be seen.
Jing Mimi liked the taste of ketchup. After admiring it for a while, he picked up the plate and licked off the sweet and sour pattern on it.
This was their secret.
A secret eaten into the stomach.
…
After dinner, the group strolled around the mall nearby to digest food.
There was a subway entrance in the mall. Jing Mimi hadn’t taken the subway since becoming a little human, feeling a bit novel. So they went to stroll in the subway, planning to take the little guys for a round trip of one station for fun.
Wang Qiuqiu wasn’t new to the subway. When he was the puppy Qiuqiu, he came to places like the subway with his colleagues and even caught a drug trafficker inside.
But he was happy to accompany Mimi on the subway.
This time period had passed the evening rush hour. There weren’t too many people in the subway, and there were seats, just had to look for them.
Unfortunately, there were no seats in the carriage they boarded, so they had to look in other carriages.
Suddenly, everyone’s attention was attracted by a muzzled police dog in the corner. A colleague stood beside it holding the leash, and most of the eyes in the carriage fell on it.
Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng looked at Jing Mimi’s reaction subconsciously, afraid he would be scared by this big dog.
Having experienced intimate contact with the German Shepherd Qiuqiu in the illusion, Jing Mimi wasn’t that afraid of dogs anymore, but didn’t like them either, just a bit curious.
“Brother Qiuqiu, is this a police dog?” He subconsciously looked at the child holding his other hand.
Wang Qiuqiu nodded and told him about the work of police dogs, mostly his personal experiences.
Patrolling, catching bad guys, identifying scents, tracking drug dealers…
The adults thought he learned police dog knowledge from books or others’ narrations and didn’t suspect anything.
Jing Mimi listened with boiling blood.
So amazing!
As amazing as Sheriff the Tuxedo Cat!
The police dog in the subway carriage got off with its colleague at the next station. Jing Mimi’s attention fell entirely on Wang Qiuqiu, listening to him tell more about the work of Police Dog Qiuqiu.
He also wanted to become a cat working in the police station!
…
After taking the subway, Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng sent Wang Qiuqiu home first.
After arriving home, Wang Qiuqiu couldn’t wait to open the letter Jing Mimi brought him this morning.
Jing Mimi couldn’t write many characters, and some were learned on the spot. The handwriting was crooked and very cute.
“To Brother Qiuqiu:
We are best friends forever.
by Mimi”
Many years later, the adult Wang Qiuqiu found this letter while tidying up his room.
He subconsciously looked at the beige-haired boy sitting aside, smiling as he carefully folded the letter again.
Boyfriend is also a friend.
“Forever” also counts.
…
On the way back from Brother Qiuqiu’s house, Jing Mimi fell asleep in the back seat of the car again.
This time, he really had a dream.
In the dream, he became a police cat, punishing evil and promoting good, catching bad guys, and returning to the police station wearing many medals of merit.
The next second, a pair of gentle hands picked him up.
“Mimi, we’re home.”
It was Papa.
Jing Mimi rubbed his eyes groggily, nestled happily in Papa’s arms, and was carried home by him.
Be a police cat in the next life.
Be Papa’s baby in this life first.
Back home, Jing Zhi plugged the phone with low battery into the charger and prepared bath water for Jing Mimi.
Running around all day today, suitable for a comfortable bath and a comfortable sleep.
While waiting for the bath, Jiang Suifeng suddenly walked into the bathroom with a bad look on his face, pursed his lips without saying a word, and showed him the screen of his phone.
It was a video from the “Fa Cai Cute Pets” account.
This video had particularly good traffic, far better than all his videos. Just the number of likes was much more than the sum of likes on his recent videos.
The video showed them in the noodle shop today, without mosaic. The comment section was full of fans and passersby who recognized Jing Zhi, pushing this video directly to the hot list.
