Chapter 81: Meow
After the New Year, Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng took Mimi to see their future new house on site.
Renovation hadn’t started yet, and it was estimated that they could only move in when he was in the middle class of kindergarten.
He was naturally happy about the new house, but at the same time, he was a bit reluctant to leave the elders and friends living nearby. After moving, they wouldn’t be able to meet often.
Just knocking on the door, Uncle Zhu Shan and Auntie Tian Yuan would invite him in to eat delicious food, and there was Moon to hold and rub.
Little Tail at Miss Bai’s house had also grown up a bit, completely adapting to its tailless body, doing parkour at home every day. Every time Jing Mimi went to see it, it would excitedly nudge him with its head.
Jing Mimi used a small comb to comb off more fur from it, collecting it all to help humans without hair get “fur.”
His papas also took him to the dessert shop opened by Miss Bai’s boyfriend, ate delicious small cakes, and tasted a sip of the coffee his papas ordered. It was so bitter that his facial features scrunched together tightly. He rinsed his mouth many times and refused to drink this medicine-like thing again.
Actually, adding milk and sugar would make it taste much better, but Mimi was lactose intolerant, so better not try.
If it was for refreshing, he could drink some tea sent by Grandpa Jiang.
As the snow stopped after the New Year, Jing Mimi and his papas wandered around the neighborhood a few times, meeting the courier kitten raised by the Cainiao station, the watchdog kitten raised by the convenience store, and the ear-tipped neutered kittens in the community…
He used the red envelope money he received during the New Year to buy cat treats as gifts for the cats, and went to the animal rescue station in City A with his papas to donate some love funds.
The little cub from Planet Meow was doing his best to help the cat tribe on Earth.
Holidays are always short. Not long after the New Year, work resumed, and the roads and subways in City A returned to the shape of nine-to-five.
At the same time, the children’s kindergarten also welcomed the start of school.
Before enrollment, staff from the welfare institute came to the house to understand Jing Mimi’s life after adoption.
One of the staff members happened to be Bai Ying—the woman who accompanied Jing Zhi when Mimi was hospitalized due to lactose intolerance and allergies in the welfare institute, and who also saw through the homosexual relationship between Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng and enlightened Xu Sumei a bit.
When Bai Ying and others arrived, Jing Mimi was singing along with the music playing on the TV. Jing Zhi was recording on the side, and Jiang Suifeng was preparing cut fruits.
The home was decorated very warmly. A whole row of little cub shoes was neatly arranged in the shoe rack at the entrance. There was also a small bed tailored for the little cub in the bedroom, and a newly taken family portrait hung above the living room sofa.
Jing Mimi generously showed a few new songs he learned recently to the staff uncles and aunties he had gotten along with in the welfare institute.
Jing Zhi pressed the pause button on the recording and said with a smile: “If the kindergarten enrollment goes smoothly in a few days, we’ll take Mimi to learn musical instruments and vocal music.”
Although Mimi had the experience of leaving his papas to play at Qiuqiu’s house, they weren’t 100% sure he could adapt to kindergarten life quickly, so they were still a bit worried.
Jiang Suifeng brought the cut fruits to the sofa to entertain the guests and chimed in: “Our Mimi is so brave, it will definitely go smoothly.”
After all, Mimi wasn’t an ordinary human cub, but a little human transformed from a very powerful kitten.
Jing Mimi couldn’t withstand his papas’ praise the most. He patted his little chest immediately and said boldly: “I want to get into University A!”
University A, his papas’ university, his goal.
Seeing his cute little appearance, everyone couldn’t help laughing.
Not long after, the staff from the welfare institute left very reassured.
Not all children adopted from the welfare institute could receive wholehearted care. Seeing Mimi living so well, they were genuinely happy for him.
…
On the day of kindergarten enrollment, Jing Mimi carried a schoolbag with a kitten head pattern, holding one papa’s hand with each hand, and walked into the kindergarten obediently. He met the reception teacher and nursery teacher of the small class, and also met Brother Qiuqiu and his parents.
Wang Qiuqiu couldn’t wait to hold his small hand, his eyes curving as he said to him: “Mimi, the classroom is over there.”
Jing Mimi nodded his head, looking back at his papas reluctantly.
Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng nodded to him encouragingly and said: “Papa will pick you up in the evening.”
Jing Mimi gave a “Mmhmm,” his eyes eager. Although very reluctant, he was a brave kitten and wouldn’t cry because of going to school. Moreover, he had always looked forward to going to school, learning more knowledge, striving to get into university, and becoming a knowledgeable kitten.
On the contrary, Jing Zhi felt some uncontrollable emotions in his heart and hurriedly pulled Jiang Suifeng’s sleeve to turn and leave.
Saying leaving, actually looking back every three steps.
Jiang Suifeng was really afraid he would suddenly rush back and carry Mimi home.
On the other hand, although Mimi stood there holding Qiuqiu’s hand watching them and didn’t leave, his condition was okay, with no sign of shedding tears.
Finally, reaching a place where Mimi couldn’t be seen even if looking back, Jing Zhi suddenly raised his hand to rub his eyes, blinking quickly at the same time, blinking away the mist in his eyes.
“Why are you crying?” Jiang Suifeng rubbed his head gently.
Jing Zhi controlled the moisture in his eyes before speaking slowly: “A bit reluctant, and a bit worried about whether he can take care of himself alone outside…”
Unlike Jiang Suifeng who had to go to the company to work, Jing Zhi worked at home most of the time and spent more time with Mimi. Now that Mimi had to go to school during the day, he suddenly felt a bit empty in his heart.
And outside wasn’t like home. Although Mimi was a child with a very good personality, he still couldn’t help worrying that he would be bullied and wronged.
Jiang Suifeng rubbed the top of his head vigorously again. Although he had similar concerns as Jing Zhi, he still comforted: “Don’t worry, Mimi is even more amazing than us, believe in him.”
When he was a kitten, Mimi had wandered alone outside for a while. Later, after euthanasia, not knowing what happened, he turned into a little human, found them alone, and reunited with them.
He was a kitten cub even more amazing than them adults.
Jing Zhi gave a muffled “Mmhmm,” agreeing with this in his heart.
He silently pinned the kindergarten parents’ group chat to the top, checking for new messages from time to time.
…
Inside the kindergarten, Jing Mimi didn’t withdraw his gaze until he couldn’t see his papas’ backs, looking at Wang Qiuqiu holding his hand beside him.
Before they could make a move, a cub’s loud cry suddenly rang out.
It was a child standing not far from them. Because he couldn’t bear to leave his parents, he grabbed their clothes, crying and not letting them leave.
Teachers and parents immediately comforted him, but with little effect.
Because of his crying, other children around who were enrolling also started crying.
As everyone knows—among children, crying is contagious.
Originally, they were reluctant to leave home, coming to this strange place, staying with a group of strangers for a day. Their emotions were already on the verge of collapse, and crying was a lively fuse.
The teachers in Jing Mimi and Wang Qiuqiu’s class couldn’t help looking at them worriedly. Seeing their emotions seemed stable, they breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
Wang Qiuqiu was an emotionally stable child. Being a former police dog, it was impossible for him to cry because of leaving home for school.
Although Jing Mimi felt like a baby cat in front of his papas, outside he felt like a big cat. After all, the kitten Mimi had lived for many years, much older than this human body.
In his eyes, these human children of similar age were like kitten cubs, needing to be taken care of.
If they were all cats, Jing Mimi would definitely wrap his tail around the crying kitten cub directly, lick its fur and tears, and coax it not to shed tears anymore.
But they were all little humans.
Jing Mimi suddenly thought of the experience of coaxing Uncle Shen and Auntie Shen’s crying baby. He immediately strode to the first crying child in three steps.
“Meow~”
The child had tears on his eyes and chin. Stunned by Jing Mimi’s meow, his attention was attracted by this strange but beautiful child in front of him.
If it were any other child meowing, it probably wouldn’t achieve such an effect, but Jing Mimi’s appearance was too eye-catching, especially the soft beige hair.
Really like a beautiful kitten.
Children of this age always have many whimsical ideas—for example: this child meows so realistically and has hair of this color, could he really be transformed from a kitten? Is he a little goblin? Can he do magic?
Because of this, the crying stopped temporarily.
Seeing this, Jing Mimi took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped his tears, and said to him: “I’ll teach you to meow, don’t cry anymore, okay?”
…
Not long after getting in the car and driving, Jing Zhi’s phone suddenly rang.
Jing Zhi couldn’t wait to open the phone and look at the screen.
Sure enough, it was a message from the teacher.
Teacher Yun: [Mimi’s Papa, thanks to Mimi, many crying children were coaxed well.]
Jing Zhi: “?”
A few seconds later, the video recorded by the teacher was successfully sent over.
Jing Zhi couldn’t wait to click open.
In the video, “meow” sounds were heard everywhere.
Jing Mimi was teaching a group of red-eyed children to meow.
Wang Qiuqiu was also held by him, forced to work, emitting meows.
