The Cub Comes from Planet Meow 82

Chapter 82: Meow

Before long, many parents in the kindergarten learned about the existence of the “little cat demon.”

It was said that a new little cat demon child enrolled in the kindergarten. He meowed vividly, and his hair was beige, feeling very soft like a kitten’s fur.

Many parents came to the kindergarten early specifically to wait for the children to finish school, just to see this little cat demon with their own eyes.

He was easy to recognize; the one with the most special hair color in the crowd was him.

Sure enough, he was a particularly cute child.

…

Every day after school, Jing Mimi would hold Wang Qiuqiu’s hand and walk to the kindergarten gate together. During this time, many children and parents would reach out friendly to touch his head.

Because someone said: “Touch the little cat head, no worries ahead.”

More palms reached out.

Jing Mimi liked having his head touched. As long as the movement was gentle and didn’t make him uncomfortable, he wouldn’t refuse.

Occasionally, there were children whose movements weren’t gentle, and Wang Qiuqiu would slap their small hands away directly.

—Only polite children can touch the little cat demon’s head.

Therefore, many children learned to treat others politely.

Some little tyrants at home became much gentler in their words and deeds after returning, surprising their families who thought the children had taken the wrong medicine. Later, they learned it was the “magic” of the little cat demon.

The little cat demon’s papas, however, felt a bit of a headache.

Mimi’s hair was extremely oily every day when he came back, and he had to wash his hair once a day.

Trouble was secondary. Mainly, the temperature hadn’t risen yet in late winter and early spring. A little carelessness carried the risk of catching a cold. Moreover, Mimi was young, and frequent use of shampoo wasn’t a good thing.

Therefore, they could only put various small hats on Mimi to “protect” his hair.

Most hats had cute little cat ears, fitting his “little cat demon” setting even more.

…

Spring flowers bloomed, the temperature rose, and almost every day was sunny.

Jing Mimi liked to go to the outdoor lawn with Wang Qiuqiu to lie down and sunbathe.

When he was the puppy Qiuqiu, Wang Qiuqiu liked lying on the soft lawn. Although the kitten Mimi was raised at home and hadn’t been exposed to these much, he fell in love with this comfortable feeling after experiencing it only once.

Wang Qiuqiu said: “Mimi, when we have a holiday, I’ll take you to play in my family’s estate. There are lots and lots of lawns there.”

Jing Mimi looked expectant: “Okay!”

With the recovery of all things and the arrival of spring, there were not only fresh flowers and grass growing, but also many… bugs.

Jing Mimi, who was lying with him, suddenly darted quickly on the lawn like a cat. Wang Qiuqiu sat up halfway in confusion, observing for a while before realizing he was catching small bugs in the grass.

Not long after, Jing Mimi came back with many strangely shaped small bugs, presenting them to Wang Qiuqiu like treasures.

He had seen these bugs in cartoons and books; they were all bugs that didn’t bite.

Wang Qiuqiu: “…”

Although Wang Qiuqiu wasn’t afraid of bugs, he wasn’t interested in them either and couldn’t like them.

But since Mimi gave them, he accepted them.

Among them, the pill bug that curled into a small ball when poked was quite interesting.

Jing Mimi caught some more bugs and put them into a transparent beverage bottle, preparing to take them home to give to Papa.

In his subconscious, bugs were divided into “good bugs” and “bad bugs.” Bad bugs would bite people; the one that bit Little Papa before was a bad bug. He wouldn’t let bad bugs get close to his papas. But good bugs wouldn’t bite. Good bugs were not only interesting but could also satisfy the kitten’s hunting desire.

Today happened to be Friday. Jiang Suifeng got off work early and drove Jing Zhi to the kindergarten to pick up Mimi.

Maybe because the weekend was coming soon, the little guy’s steps were more eager than usual, holding Wang Qiuqiu’s small hand and race-walking over.

After saying goodbye, the two children got into their own cars respectively.

Wang Qiuqiu’s parents had something to do today and didn’t come to pick him up personally; the driver came to pick him up.

As soon as he got in the car, Wang Qiuqiu took out the bugs Mimi gave him from his pencil case. Afraid they would suffocate inside, he took them out for some air and play.

Not long after, the bugs crawled freely in the car.

Driver: “…”

The driver wasn’t afraid of these bugs, but still worried that some might bite or carry toxins. He stopped the car immediately, informing Mr. and Mrs. Wang about this while catching the bugs back with Wang Qiuqiu.

Fortunately, these bugs were common beneficial insects, wouldn’t bite humans, and weren’t dangerous.

Wu Yuan found it quite interesting and was surprised that Mimi could catch so many bugs at such a young age.

Wang Shao looked green in the face and decided to fully disinfect the car after returning.

…

On the other side, Jing Zhi didn’t sit in the passenger seat but specially sat in the back seat with Mimi.

Not long after getting in the car, Jing Mimi mysteriously took out a bottle from his small schoolbag.

Seeing the things inside, Jing Zhi almost blacked out and fainted directly.

Yet the little guy handed the small bottle to him like a treasure, saying proudly: “Papa, look! I caught them!”

Jing Zhi moved a little towards the car door imperceptibly, his body gradually pressing against the door, with no way to retreat, regretting the decision not to sit in the passenger seat today. Wavering between jumping out of the car and enduring it, he forced a smile: “Mimi is amazing, caught so many bugs.”

For a kitten, catching so many bugs was indeed very amazing.

Jiang Suifeng, who was concentrating on driving, glanced at the rearview mirror upon hearing this sentence, slowed down the car, turned the steering wheel to the right, and looked for an opportunity to stop by the roadside.

He knew better than anyone how afraid of bugs Jing Zhi was.

Back in university, one night, because the light was on in the dormitory, a phototactic bug sneaked in from some crack. As luck would have it, it flew onto Jing Zhi. It was quite big, scaring Jing Zhi into jumping up and pouncing on him directly. Losing balance, both fell to the ground together.

The bug was frightened and flew up, but happened to land on Jing Zhi’s hair again.

Jing Zhi was so scared that he dared not move, hugging his waist tightly. He supported himself on the ground with one hand and removed the bug from his head with difficulty with the other.

At that time, they were extremely close, and he could clearly hear Jing Zhi’s heartbeat.

Another time, several of them went to eat barbecue together. Someone ordered grilled grasshoppers. Jing Zhi ate while talking, accidentally stuffing one into his mouth without noticing. After chewing a few times, he found something wrong. After realizing it, he hugged the trash can and vomited for a long time, leaving a deep psychological shadow.

Since then, when they ate barbecue together, he dared not order anything related to bugs.

He actually quite liked eating grilled silkworm chrysalis, so he could only eat it secretly behind Jing Zhi’s back occasionally.

Later, after graduating and living together, they encountered bugs a few times, but with the addition of the kitten Mimi, the bugs invading the home were always discovered immediately, never scaring Jing Zhi again.

Didn’t expect… after the kitten Mimi turned into the little human Mimi, he gave Papa such a big “surprise.”

Finally, Jiang Suifeng parked the car by the roadside.

Jing Zhi couldn’t wait to open the door and get out, opened the driver’s door, and said to Jiang Suifeng: “You go to the back to accompany Mimi, I’ll drive.”

“Okay.” Jiang Suifeng unbuckled his seatbelt with a smile, got out of the car, and gave up the driver’s seat.

The traffic environment in City A was average, and Jing Zhi didn’t like driving much. When he was with Jiang Suifeng, Jiang Suifeng drove almost all the time. But he got his driver’s license early, so he could still drive.

Gripping the steering wheel, Jing Zhi found his palms sweating from being scared by those bugs in the bottle.

Only in front of Mimi, because of the identity of a father, could he try his best to remain calm.

Fatherhood makes one strong.

Jing Mimi didn’t know what happened. Blinking his eyes, he showed off the bugs in the bottle to Jiang Suifeng who sat next to him.

Jing Zhi in the driver’s seat adjusted the seat, fastened the seatbelt, and slowly stepped on the accelerator.

The scenery outside the car began to retreat. Watching the small bugs crawling in the bottle, Jiang Suifeng praised him with a smile again, then leaned close to his little ear and whispered to him: “Little Papa is actually very afraid of bugs.”

Jing Mimi’s eyes widened slightly.

He still remembered that Little Papa searched for bugs with him in the welfare institute staff dormitory after being bitten by a bug. Was he actually very afraid of bugs?

Jiang Suifeng whispered a few of Jing Zhi’s “historical records” to him and concluded: “Although Little Papa is afraid of bugs, he still acts very brave in front of Mimi because he doesn’t want to spoil Mimi’s fun. Mimi definitely doesn’t want Little Papa to be scared either. Bugs have homes too. Remember to let the bugs go home after playing, okay?”

Jing Mimi nodded his little head obediently.

He could understand. When he ate durian for the first time, he was also repulsed and afraid, but he still ate it for Papa because he loved Papa. Papa was afraid of bugs but still caught bad bugs with him and praised him just now because Papa loved him.

Jiang Suifeng: “Also, some children in the kindergarten are afraid of bugs. Mimi, remember not to let bugs scare other children.”

Jing Mimi nodded his little head again. “Brother Qiuqiu told me. I only gave bugs to Brother Qiuqiu.”

Jiang Suifeng’s rating of the child Wang Qiuqiu rose a lot in his heart.

Jing Zhi drove slowly, listening to the conversation in the back row, the corners of his mouth curling up unconsciously.

Back downstairs in the community, the first thing Jing Mimi did after getting out of the car was to walk to the flower bed, open the bottle cap, and release all the bugs inside.

…

After dinner in the evening, the family of three went to the lakeside for a walk as usual. On the way back, there was a fragrant barbecue stall at the entrance of the community.

The little glutton Mimi swallowed his saliva greedily, his gaze stuck on it unable to move.

Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng smiled at each other and walked over holding his hand.

They had eaten very full at dinner, and eating too much barbecue at this age wasn’t good. Jing Zhi raised a finger and said: “Can only choose one skewer.”

Jing Mimi nodded obediently and chose seriously.

Just then, a man walked over and said to the boss: “Five more skewers of silkworm chrysalis.”

“Okay.” The boss reached for the silkworm chrysalis immediately.

Jing Mimi examined the silkworm chrysalis skewer. Not knowing what it was exactly, it looked a bit like three bugs skewered together, but without the bug’s tentacles, legs, or wings. That uncle just asked for five more skewers, so it should be delicious.

Jing Mimi struggled for a while, finally made up his mind, looked up with his little head, and said: “I want this silkworm chrysalis too.”

Jing Zhi: “…”

Jing Zhi felt struck by lightning.

Can I still keep a cub who eats bugs?

***

Not only have to keep him, but also have to be kissed by the mouth that ate bugs.
