Chapter 139: It's Such A Big Cat, It Has To Learn To Be Independent 

Wen Jin has been a little depressed recently. Ever since a new member was added to the family, she felt that her family status seemed to be seriously threatened.

In all fairness, she treated Xiao Bai well. She not only bought a bunch of cat snacks, cat toys, cat litter, and a cat climbing frame, but also specially arranged a cat house for it.

But this little thing is really biting the hand that feeds it. Not only it is not grateful to her for clothing it, but it also wants to compete with her for her fiancée's attention.

Although it is so small, it is actually very scheming.

Just like now, the sky is high and the night is dark, and the moon and stars are sparse. It is very suitable for some loving interactions between couples.

Wen Jin climbed onto the bed wearing pajamas, holding her freshly washed and fragrant fiancée. After some kisses and caresses, she easily made her blush, and the atmosphere was getting intense...

"Meow~"

Xiao Bai, not knowing when, jumped onto the head of the bed, opening a pair of big blue eyes, staring at the two people with curiosity. 

Just a few days ago, it had taken a bath, and now its all-white fur has become even smoother, and its body has gradually become plumper. This kind of pure white furry little ball, unexpectedly, squatted onto the bed, melting hearts with its cuteness.

It just took a bath a few days ago, and its pure white hair has been nourished to become softer and smoother, and its body is gradually plump. Such a pure white hairball squatted on the bed suddenly, it was so cute like a heartbreaker.

Ruan Jinghong was distracted by the cat's meowing, and was a little embarrassed to be caught by the kitten making out.

She hurriedly got out of Wen Jin's arms, gathered the collar of her pajamas that had just been messed up, and hugged Xiao Bai in her arms very naturally.

"Xiao Bai, why are you here? Did you run out of cat food?"

As she spoke, she hugged Xiao Bai and walked to the cat's room.

It was so fast that Wen Jin could only see her back when she sat up.

Wen Jin, who was left out on the bed alone when they just started making out: ...

Not reconciled to having such a beautiful day interrupted by a kitten, Wen Jin quickly chased to the cat room.

As soon as she arrived, she saw Ruan Jinghong standing in front of the cat bowl filled with canned food, pinching Xiao Bai's fleshy paw and saying.

"There's so much cat food here, so Xiao Bai, you didn't come to me because you were hungry. You just simply love me, right?"

"Meow~" Xiao Bai put its head on Ruan Jinghong's palm.

Wen Jin: ...

No, it just doesn't want us to be intimate.

This little brat can be quite aloof during the day. Last time, it lay on the sofa beside her, and she called out for quite a while, but it completely ignored her.

However, every night when she wanted to hang out with her little thing, the cat could always appear and disappear with precision, disrupting her good affairs.

She couldn't help suggesting again, "It's late at night, why don't you keep it in the room. It's such a big cat, it has to learn to be independent, and it can't always be so clingy."

"Meow!" The little cat couldn't hear such words.

"It doesn't matter, she

"It's okay, it's okay. She's just scaring you. Xiao Bai is a good kitty," Ruan Jinhong hurriedly patted Xiao Bai's back, soothing it for a while.

She approached Wen Jin, lifting the "big cat" with both hands to showcase it, her face expressing a sense of helplessness.

"Teacher Wen, Xiao Bai is less than three months old. Many kittens of this size have not left the mother cat yet."

Wen Jin looked at the person and the cat in front of her. The two pairs of round eyes stared at her at the same time, somewhat resembling each other.

"You're not planning to be the mother cat are you?"

Ruan Jinhong furrowed her beautiful eyebrows upon hearing this, a moment of confusion flashed across her face.

She is just in her early twenties, sometimes still clueless herself, and had never thought of becoming a mother.

But……

She looked at the white furball in her arms: Xiao Bai is just a small, pitiful and helpless kitten.

She raised her head and began to forcefully explain.

"Teacher Wen, you know that animals have imprinting reflex. They will regard the first creature they see when they open their eyes as their mother. When we saw Xiao Bai, it was so lonely. Maybe I was the first person to hug it, so it will instinctively rely on me."

Wen Jin: ...

When you picked up this cat, it was already two months old. This imprinting and reflex arc seemed to be a bit long.

Ruan Jinhong's explanation didn't convince Wen Jin, but she managed to convince herself.

At this moment, as she looked into Xiao Bai's round blue eyes, she actually considered herself as its guardian.

She hooked Xiao Bai's chin with her fingers, and said seriously after thinking for a moment.

"Teacher Wen, Xiao Bai probably came to me because it was afraid of the dark at night. How about from now on, we sleep together with it at night?"

Wen Jin: !

Sleeping with Xiao Bai at night, could she have a harmonious life?

This is a matter of principle, and she absolutely cannot compromise!

Wen Jin's face remained composed as she firmly rejected, "No, I'm recently allergic to cat fur."

Ruan Jinhong looked puzzled and raised her head, "But you were just touching Xiao Bai during the day."

"I suddenly developed an allergy at night... Ah... Ah-choo!"

Wen Jin maintained a serious expression, not hesitating to lie. To make her statement more believable, she even intentionally covered her mouth and sneezed, startling Xiao Bai, who recoiled with its neck arched.

Ruan Jinhong hurriedly comforted the startled Xiao Bai, "Then I'll go to the next room to sleep for now. When Xiao Bai grows up a bit and the imprinting reflex is gone, we can let it sleep in its own cat bed."

God damn that imprinting reflex!

Seeing her fiancée fully embodying the role of a cat mom at this moment, Wen Jin could only compromise.

"Let's let it stay with us first, I'm not allergic to cat fur now."

It is absolutely impossible for her to sleep in separate beds with her fiancée. As for this little light bulb, she will slowly find a way to solve it later.

She now feels incredibly lucky that they only picked up a cat this time, not a baby.

What's even more fortunate is that she and Ruan Jinghong are both women, so there is no need to carry on the family line.

Wait a minute, judging her baby's love for cats, what if she likes children too?

No, this dangerous idea of ​​hers must be killed in the cradle.

At this time, Ruan Jinghong was lying on the bed and hugging the cat. Wen Jin hugged her from her back, leaned close to her slender neck, and exhaling like orchids.

"There is one thing I want to confess to you. I actually don't like children very much, so..."

"Teacher Wen thinks it's too childish for me to hug the cat while I'm sleeping, so you don't like me anymore?"

Ruan Jinghong turned around upon hearing this, and faced Wen Jin, her beautiful eyes were red.

Wen Jin: ...

What kind of comprehension is that?

Seeing that Ruan Jinghong seemed to be heartbroken, Wen Jin hurriedly explained, "You are not childish, you are my little baby."

These words are really nasty, and they are usually not easily said, but now they seem to have an excellent effect.

Ruan Jinghong's small face turned clear in an instant, only to hear the cold and bewitching voice sounding again.

"So, from now on, the two of us will live a good life, and we don't need to have another child."

When Ruan Jinghong heard this, she stared at Wen Jin in bewilderment, "Teacher Wen, you are so strange. We are both girls. Even if you want to have a baby, I don't have that ability."

Wen Jin: ?

When did I ever say I wanted to have children, and why should it be me who gives birth?

Forget it, I almost got caught in it.

Seeing that Ruan Jinghong didn't seem to have that kind of thought, she finally dispelled half of her worries, but out of caution, she still didn't forget to apply a patch.

"Adopted ones won't do either."

Ruan Jinghong finally figured it out, her dear fiancée had been feeling threatened by Xiao Bai, and she was trying hard to beat her not to add children to the family.

She couldn't laugh or cry, "Teacher Wen, I never thought of having children. If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought of it at all. In this family, you, me, and Xiao Bai are enough."

Seeing Wen Jin's relieved yet conflicted expression, Ruan Jinhong leaned over Xiao Bai and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Don't worry, you are more important than Xiao Bai. When it gets older, I'll let it sleep in the cat's bed, really."

Wen Jin's heart was moved, and she found the two pieces of softness instead, which deepened the kiss.

This atmosphere was too familiar, everything was just falling into place.

Wen Jin's long and gentle fingertips skillfully explored that delicate area, teasing it as if by accident.

Ruan Jinhong felt a tickle around her waist and cleverly reached for Xiao Bai's tail.

"Meow~""

The little cat is very sensible at this time, standing up and arching back and forth in the narrow space between the two of them.

Wen Jin: ...

I can't live through this day!

So, when will this little light bulb grow up?

Ruan Jinghong saw Wen Jin lying flat angrily, she reached out and touched Xiao Bai's back, pursed her lips to cover up a smile that almost leaked, hiding her achievements and fame.

I'm sorry Xiao Bai, I took advantage of you, who is young and ignorant, to temporarily keep my waist safe.

The days passed peacefully like this, and the family of three with two people and one cat was very warm.

Ruan Jinhong looked at the scene of Wen Jin waking up early every day to prepare cat food for Xiao Bai. She felt both admiration and touched.

She knew that Wen Jin wasn't particularly fond of cats at the beginning,  but now she can love the house and the crows* to such an extent.

*爱屋及乌 (ài wū jí wū) loving someone along with whoever or whatever comes along with them flaws and awe.

This cat meal is well-made, rich in nutrition, delicious in color and fragrance, even she, a cat lover, has to bow down.

"Xiao Bai, it's time to eat."

Wen Jin walked into the cat house with a bowl full of cat food, followed by Ruan Jinghong.

She knelt down and looked at Xiao Bai feasting, and said earnestly.

"Your food level has almost surpassed ours recently. These are all cooked for you by Teacher Wen. Look at how kind she is to you. Do you know that you should treat Teacher Wen even better?"

Xiao Bai ate with its head buried, ignoring the random thoughts in its ears.

Cats can be clingy or cold. They have their own set of survival rules.

Seeing Xiao Bai's indifference, Wen Jin took the opportunity to show her misery, "This brat has no conscience, it's in vain that I treat it so well. Many times I call it, but it doesn't answer me."

Ruan Jinghong has seen this situation several times. She criticized Xiao Bai a few words, got up and hooked Wen Jin's neck, and kissed her left cheek.

"Xiao Bai is ignorant, I will take care of you."

Wen Jin turned her right face to the side, expressing that she wanted to share the rain and dew equally. She had a pitiful expression on her face, but she was happy in her heart.

This effect is what I want. I don't care if the brat responds or not. The proper thing is for it to grow up quickly and sleep in its own cat bed!

Ruan Jinghong comforted her fiancée, and when she turned to look at Xiao Bai again, it had already finished eating cat food and began to lick its paws and wash its face.

During this period, its body has visibly plumped up at an incredible speed. It's a chubby, fluffy, and white ball, coupled with a pair of blue, large eyes, making it as adorable as many internet-famous cats.

Ruan Jinghong looked at its cuteness, and thought it looked familiar. It was similar to the "Lele" she used to cloud suck* on the Internet. She even made a special trip to set Lele's photo as her penguin profile picture.

*吸猫 (xi mao): cat sucking being a sucker for cats (don't google translate because it gives a perverted twist)

*云吸 (yun xi), cloud sucking is when you can't keep cat (or anything that you can't have) so you just satisfy yourself watching videos or saving photos etc. offline cloud cat sucking is when you go around feed stray cats or pet other people's cat when you see one

Now that she already has her own cat. Why not change her profile picture to Xiao Bai?

Wait a moment, Xiao Bai, profile picture.

'Xiao Bai, looks like the one on your profile picture.'

Ruan Jinhong's mind flashed with this sentence, suddenly feeling enlightened to the core.
