Chapter 84: Meow
Because of the magical cat litter texture of the beach, Jing Mimi happily dug a hole with Wang Qiuqiu, using both hands and feet, getting fine sand all over their bodies.
Although Police Dog Qiuqiu didn’t use cat litter, he had the instinct to dig holes. When he was in the estate before, he would also dig holes in the soil with his paws for fun. Now that he had become a little human, he was still keen on such games.
The consequence of having fun with sand was taking a long shower after returning home, with sand and soil in the fingernail gaps.
After wiping clean, Jing Zhi borrowed nail clippers from the hotel and trimmed the slightly long nails for Jing Mimi and Wang Qiuqiu.
Perhaps because playing with sand consumed too much energy, the two little cubs slept extremely well on the first night at the seaside.
Early the next morning, Wu Yuan got up early to put on makeup. She had an appointment with a photographer to take photos by the sea and dragged Wang Shao along, applying things on his face.
Wang Shao was used to being his wife’s photo prop during trips, cooperating obediently, closing his eyes when told, pursing his lips when told.
Jing Mimi and Wang Qiuqiu watched curiously from the side.
Wang Qiuqiu knew a tiny bit about cosmetics. When he was Police Dog Qiuqiu, he had smelled many cosmetics. Some criminals would try to pass fish eyes for pearls (pass off fake products as genuine), but they couldn’t escape the police dog’s sharp sense of smell.
But now looking at the bottles and jars on his mother’s table, Wang Qiuqiu still felt a bit dazzled. Losing the police dog’s sense of smell, he couldn’t distinguish what these things were at all.
Jing Mimi was even more curious.
Neither of his papas had the habit of wearing makeup, and there were no cosmetics at home. This was his first time seeing so many bottles and jars, emitting pleasant fragrances.
Stared at eagerly by two pairs of eyes, Wu Yuan couldn’t help laughing. She picked up the blush palette and coaxed the two little guys into applying big red cheeks on each of them.
Once upon a time, she also used fruit powder to apply cute blush on the cheeks of the puppy Qiuqiu.
Unfortunately, the German Shepherd’s face had black fur, with only a yellow area on both sides, so the blush didn’t show well.
Now, a light sweep on the little cub’s white and tender cheeks left a red mark.
Jing Mimi and Wang Qiuqiu looked at each other for a few seconds. At this age, aesthetics were chaotic, and beauty or ugliness was just a thought.
Wu Yuan praised with a smile: “Really beautiful.”
Jing Mimi examined Wang Qiuqiu’s big red face for a moment. He couldn’t tell if it was beautiful or not in his heart, but Auntie Wu Yuan said it was beautiful…
Jing Mimi chose to turn around and show it to his papas.
Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng were in another room. The suite was separated by a large and spacious living room.
Jing Zhi was editing videos when he had nothing to do, waiting for Wu Yuan and Wang Shao to finish makeup before going out. Jiang Suifeng chatted with him casually on the side.
This wasn’t actually their first time at the seaside. The two were talking about their first experience at the seaside.
At that time, they hadn’t been dating for long, but because they were of the same sex and college roommates, the journey together went very smoothly.
While flipping through photos saved on his phone, Jiang Suifeng picked out the more impressive and interesting ones to share with Jing Zhi.
“It’s this coconut tree. A coconut fell suddenly and almost hit me… Later, I detoured every time I saw a coconut tree.”
“Someone hit on you in this restaurant. You grabbed my hand directly and told the person you had a boyfriend. I was so thrilled at the time, but had to pretend to be calm.”
…
“Look, the kitten we met at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant back then. Very clingy, meowing very coquettishly. You liked it so much that we went to this barbecue restaurant again the next day for it, really wanted to take it back, but unfortunately, it was too far from City A…”
Jiang Suifeng’s voice stopped abruptly.
Because a little cub with big red cheeks suddenly appeared at the door of the room. Don’t know how much he heard.
The little cub clenched his small fists, his puffing expression matching that big red face, comical and cute.
Obviously—he must have heard what he just said.
Jing Zhi also noticed something was wrong. Turning his eyes, he almost lost his composure seeing the big red-faced cub. His gaze fell hurriedly on Jiang Suifeng, and he made up a story unhurriedly: “You remembered wrong. It was Fang Yuan who liked that cat and wanted to raise it. He asked us to see if it was convenient to bring that cat back. Pet transportation is too troublesome and not good for the cat’s health, so Fang Yuan gave up later.”
Jiang Suifeng got his brainwave and nodded frantically: “Yes, yes, getting old, memory getting worse… Fang Yuan liked that cat very much. I don’t like that color pattern; I still prefer beige.”
Jing Mimi’s expression softened slightly, looking at his papas skeptically.
Fang Yuan, who was cleaning the hamster cage far away in City A, sneezed violently.
Jing Zhi waved his hand immediately, diverting attention: “Who painted our Mimi? So beautiful.”
Jing Mimi finally walked over and answered obediently: “It was Auntie Wu Yuan.”
Jiang Suifeng also reacted quickly, exiting the album showing that kitten, casually opening the camera, and saying to Mimi: “So beautiful. Papa will take a picture of you.”
Hearing this, Jing Mimi stood straighter, looked at the phone camera cooperatively, and raised his hand in a flurry to make a V sign.
The little cub’s brain capacity was small, and the sentence just now was easily passed over.
Many years later, the adult Jing Mimi saw this photo on his Papa’s phone, recalled some experiences of being tricked by his papas when he was young, and complained to the adult Wang Qiuqiu.
Although complaining, his words revealed undisguised happiness and sweetness.
Wang Qiuqiu listened seriously. After listening, he silently opened a similar photo and showed it to him.
In the photo, Little Wang Qiuqiu with a big red face looked at the camera and also raised his hand to make a blank V sign.
Perfectly matched with Jing Mimi’s photo.
The couple photos of childhood sweethearts were actually quietly “born” when they were very young.
Besides these two, there were many, many more.
…
After Wu Yuan finished her makeup, the two families went out.
While the photographer was taking photos of Wu Yuan and Wang Shao, Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng took the two little cubs to enjoy sunbathing on the lounge chairs on the beach.
To prevent sunburn from ultraviolet rays, they had applied sunscreen before departure and explained related knowledge to the two little cubs.
Jing Mimi listened in confusion. Arriving at the beach and seeing many people with tanned skin, his little brain spun fast.
Will kittens without sunscreen get tanned on the beach?
Will tanned kittens turn into little black cats?
What about puppies? Will they also be tanned into little black dogs?
Jing Mimi shared these thoughts with Wang Qiuqiu.
Wang Qiuqiu was also a bit uncertain after hearing Jing Mimi.
The two little cubs decided to ask the adults for help together.
Hearing their narration, Jing Zhi and Jiang Suifeng couldn’t help laughing out loud together.
How can there be such cute thoughts?
Jing Zhi raised his hand and rubbed Jing Mimi’s beige hair, explaining: “Kitten fur can be compared to human hair. Only the skin gets tanned, not the hair. Don’t worry, kittens and puppies of other colors won’t be tanned into little black cats and little black dogs.”
Hearing this, Wang Qiuqiu also raised his hand to touch Jing Mimi’s soft hair, checked carefully, and said: “Mimi’s hair didn’t turn black.”
Jing Mimi breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn’t hate black. After all, his papas’ hair was also black, and the black cat raised by Great-Grandpa in the video call was also very cute. He just preferred colorful colors. It would be too boring if everything turned into one color.
That night, Jing Mimi had a dream.
He dreamed that he turned back into the form of the kitten Mimi and dug sand on the beach with Brother Qiuqiu who turned into a puppy form for a long time, having a great time.
Unknowingly, they were tanned into a little black cat and a little black dog.
“Meow?!”
“Woof?!”
They hurried to find their respective families for help.
Finally finding Papa sunbathing by the sea, the kitten Mimi meowed anxiously non-stop.
Little Papa said to Big Papa: “Whose little black cat got lost?”
Big Papa shook his head: “Don’t know this little black cat.”
The kitten Mimi burst into tears with a “meow.”
Tears gradually faded the black color on his body, revealing the original beige fur.
Big Papa said to Little Papa in surprise: “It’s actually our Mimi!”
Little Papa picked him up, examined him for a while, and said: “It really is our Mimi.”
The kitten Mimi burrowed into Papa’s arms quickly, feeling extremely aggrieved, hugging Papa firmly with four paws, afraid of letting go.
…
Wang Qiuqiu also had a dream.
In the dream, he and Mimi turned back into small animal forms and came to play by the sea.
The weather was bad. The waves were huge, swallowing the beach, and swept them playing by the sea into the sea.
They couldn’t breathe in the sea, and there was a big octopus attacking them in the sea.
As a police dog, he tried hard to push the kitten Mimi to the surface, but sank deeper and deeper himself.
The octopus was extremely agile on the seabed, catching him easily. Tentacles bound him firmly; he couldn’t break free no matter what, and breathing became more and more difficult.
Then he woke up.
Opening his eyes, Octopus Mimi was hugging him firmly, furry head nestled in his arms, soft beige hair rubbing against his chin.
Wang Qiuqiu’s brain went blank for a moment, took a few quick breaths, and his consciousness returned from the seabed to reality.
He adjusted his posture slightly so that Mimi wouldn’t strangle him so much, took the opportunity to rub his hair for a while, and continued to coax himself to sleep.
Half-asleep and half-awake, the image of a furry beige octopus kitten appeared in his mind, meowing softly at him.
So cute…
