The cat's legs can't get wet, but summer is too harsh on her, she has to take a bath!

She filled the bathtub with water, struggled to climb in, and then climbed out again after washing, splashing water everywhere. When she grabbed a towel, she swept up a row of bottles and jars, which spilled haphazardly onto the floor.

Finally, the cat came out and found the only normal set of clothes among those strangely shaped clothes to put on.

The cat was too tired to go find Jiu Yebai, so she called him instead.

"Hey, we're in the same house, why are you calling?" Jiu Yebai's voice was nasal, he sounded like he hadn't woken up yet, and he even sounded a little angry.

Remembering her unpleasantness at being woken up earlier that day, the cat curled her lips into a wicked smile. "Jiu Yebai, I'm giving you thirty seconds to appear in front of me right now, or I'll slap you."

With that, the cat hung up the phone and started a 30-second countdown.

Five...four...three...two...

The countdown was about to end.

With a loud "bang!"

The cat's bedroom door was kicked open, and Jiu Yebai, dressed in pajamas, with one slipper on one foot and the other slipper nowhere to be seen, and with messy hair, appeared in front of the cat like a grumpy little lion.

The cat paused the countdown, which stopped at "one".

"This time you're right on time." The cat waved her phone, her obedient tone surprisingly tinged with regret.

Jiu Yebai glared at her, "Are you sick? Do you just want to hit me?"

"Don't swear," the cat said. "Swearing will get you beaten."

Jiu Yebai gritted his teeth, nearly collapsing several times.

He slept soundly, hoping that everything from yesterday was just a nightmare! But when he opened his eyes, he found that the nightmare wasn't over yet! The places on his body where he had been whipped not only didn't feel any less pain after a night, but were now even more painful!

So, the moment Jiu Xintian threatened him, his body acted faster than his mind, and he rushed over immediately!

Damn, he'll be a contender for the title in the next school sprint competition!

"Give me money, my card is unusable." The cat stretched out its hand.

Jiu Yebai finally woke up! This wasn't a dream; this was cruel reality!

Jiu Xintian would still arrogantly ask him for money, but the difference was that she was now stepping on his head!

"Wait for me," Jiu Yebai managed to say before turning and leaving.

When he returned, he was wearing the other slipper. He slapped a card in front of Jiu Xintian. It was his own card. Jiu Xintian's card had been frozen long ago, of course, because of her endless troubles. No amount of money could cover her expenses.

After receiving the card, the cat sat down and started fiddling with her phone, placing numerous orders on a shopping app.

Jiu Yebai didn't bother to see what she had bought, since in the end Jiu Xintian would always violently suppress her.

He suddenly noticed Jiu Xintian's outfit today and was taken aback for a moment.

She was wearing... her school uniform from five years ago.

It's still the high school uniform.

It was the outfit she wore when she first appeared at the Jiu family's door, excitedly yet timidly announcing that she was the Jiu family's daughter.

It doesn't look out of place at all. Even though five years have passed, when she puts on this outfit again, she still looks like a naive high school student.

In a daze, Jiu Yebai felt a sense of temporal displacement, as if he had returned to that day, and it was the first time he had met Jiu Xintian.

"Here you go."

The cat's voice pulled Jiu Yebai back to reality, and he looked down at her.

Cat looked up at him and suddenly said, "I want to change my name. Jiu Xintian doesn't sound good. I want to be called Jiu Cat."

“Cat?” Jiu Yebai murmured. She had already used this name yesterday. “My name is Jiu Yebai.”

"Are you stupid! Of course I know your name," the cat said disdainfully.

Jiu Yebai: "..."

It's all an illusion! The whole "first meeting" thing is fake!

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

Jiu Yebai immediately looked at the cat's belly.

The cat belatedly touched its belly, "The cat is hungry."

She was furious one second, but the next second she looked so aggrieved that Jiu Yebai immediately deflated. "Let's go eat."

He glanced back and saw that the entire bedroom looked like it had been robbed; colorful clothes were piled up on the floor like a small mountain, and bath towels and sheets were tangled together.

"These clothes?" Jiu Yebai asked.

"No, I don't want it anymore," the cat pouted.

"Hmm." Jiu Yebai was quite relieved that she had finally decided to get rid of all that stuff. "Your leg is inconvenient, why didn't you call a servant over?"

"I don't like servants," the cat said calmly.

"..." Jiu Yebai was speechless. What could he do? He couldn't serve him either.

At the dinner table, the cat was only interested in a salad; it didn't eat any of the other dishes or staple foods.

Jiu Yebai finally couldn't hold back and said, "You're still injured, so you need to maintain a balanced diet. Don't even think about losing weight; you're already thin enough."

“The cat doesn’t like to eat it,” she said.

"You have to eat it even if you don't like it," Jiu Yebai said.

"I won't eat," the cat said.

"..." Jiu Yebai slapped his forehead, calming down his anger, and then instructed the anxious cook beside him, "Make chicken soup and some salads."

The cook nodded repeatedly and immediately went to get busy.

Before long, five plates of fruit and vegetable salads were placed in front of the cat. Just as she was finishing her meal, the chicken soup was brought over.

The cat drank several more bowls of chicken soup, patted its belly, and said it was full.

Her mood finally improved, and she stroked Jiu Yebai's fluffy soft fur, "Good little brother."

Jiu Yebai: "..."

What the hell?

After dinner, Maomao watched TV, while Jiuyebai idly flipped through the financial newspapers his older brother had subscribed to.

Jiu Yebai would never admit that he was sitting there like an idiot to be "summoned" by someone at any time, nor would he admit that he was taking care of her leg injury; he just didn't want to be "countdowned" again!

Jiu Yebai glanced at the SpongeBob SquarePants show playing on TV and fell silent for a moment... Wasn't Jiu Xintian the one who loved watching entertainment gossip the most?

Oh no, her name isn't Jiu Xintian anymore, it's Jiu Maomao now!

"Have you thought about changing your name? You need to bring your ID card and household registration book to the Public Security Bureau to complete the procedures," Jiu Yebai suddenly said.

"Okay, I'll change it." The cat nodded.

"Next Monday?" Jiu Yebai didn't know why he had arranged it for her.

"Mmm." The cat nodded, its eyes never leaving the television.

Jiu Yebai played on his phone for a while, glancing briefly at the card's bill and looking at the cat with considerable surprise.

Recipient: XX Garden Shop, XX Nursery Base, XX Florist, XX Flower Shop, XX Seedling Garden...

Product Details: 200 cherry saplings, 200 peach saplings, 300 apple saplings, 300 kumquat trees, peach trees... apricot trees... grapevines... strawberry trees... plum saplings...

Jiu Yebai stared at his phone, speechless for a long time.

So, she finally gave up on pursuing her dream in the entertainment industry, decided to leave, change her name, and return to the countryside to farm.
