Meow~ Meow~

As Yue Jiuzai approached the trash can, she heard a few faint meows. She looked in the direction of the sound and found a small orange kitten, no bigger than the palm of her hand.

Wow, there really are abandoned animals!

When Yue Jiu Zai saw the kitten, he felt sorry for it and picked it out of the trash can.

The kitten was thrown directly into the trash can. It was covered in garbage and smelled terrible. When it was found, it was already on the verge of death, its eyes closed.

"Meow! Oh my god, how could it be so tragic? Poor thing, so pitiful."

Upon seeing the poor kitten, Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue came over. Overwhelmed with maternal love, they took the kitten and began to examine the little guy to see if there were any problems.

"Oh dear, no wonder he was thrown out, he's blind!"

After examining the kitten, it was found that it was otherwise healthy except for being very weak. The reason it was abandoned was its eyes. Its eyes were not the normal color; instead, the white part of its eyeballs was white, like cataracts, making it blind.

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful. Why don't we take it in?"

Yue Jiuxing used magic to wash the dirt off the kitten, then held it in her arms and said, "We were originally planning to find stray animals to feed, but we didn't expect to find this little guy."

"Yeah, it was lucky for it. If we hadn't come, it probably wouldn't have survived."

Yue Jiuyue also said.

Meow~ Meow~

The kitten looked very small, probably not long after it was born. It looked very hungry and its meows were weak. In order to prevent the little thing from starving to death, Yue Jiuzai had no choice but to buy some goat milk for it to drink.

"Here, let it drink some of this first."

Yue Jiuzai gave the kitten the goat milk he bought, and then took the two troublemakers to the station to catch the train back to J City.

Have you bought your tickets?

Yue Jiuyue put the well-fed kitten into her pocket and said, "I've wasted a lot of time today. I don't know if it will be very late when I get back."

Yue Jiuxing was queuing to have her ticket checked when she said, "If all else fails, we'll just run faster. We'll definitely make it in time for dinner."

Since it was already past four in the afternoon, they were a little worried that they would miss dinner, and that the other soul fragments would eat before they got back.

Hearing their words, Yue Jiuzai smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Jiuling will wait for us to go back."

...

"Yay! Time to get off work!"

Yue Jiuling, who was waiting to leave work in the office, finally saw that it was time to go home. As soon as she saw the time, she quickly packed her things and rushed to clock out.

"Wow, Jiuling, you're a little too eager to leave work today, aren't you?"

Seeing Yue Jiuling's hurried appearance, Bai Xinyu said with amusement, "Although we are usually very proactive, I've never seen you like this before~"

"Hehe, it's because I'm so hungry, I need to hurry back and cook!"

Yue Jiuling said with a smile, then finished swiping her card and said goodbye to everyone before heading home: "I'm going home now, bye-bye~"

Bye-bye~

Ya Zi watched Yue Jiuling's hurried departure, seemingly remembering something, and then lowered his head and smiled.

When Yue Jiuling returned home, Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue had not yet returned, but Yue Jiuli had already prepared dinner for the day.

"Hey, Jiu Ling is back! Jiu Zai and the others said they'll be here soon, and they've brought us a surprise."

Yue Jiuli said this while setting out the bowls and chopsticks.

"A surprise? Are you sure? I'm a little afraid it might be a shock."

Upon hearing Yue Jiuli's words, Yue Jiuling said with some doubt, "I have a feeling this surprise might not be very pleasant."

"Um, well, I don't know either, but they just said there would be a surprise."

After hearing Yue Jiuling say that the surprise might be a shock, Yue Jiuli was not very happy. She said, "Sigh, forget it. You can't guess now. Let's wait until tonight and see what it is."

"What are you talking about? What surprise?"

At this moment, Yue Jiujie and Yue Jiunian, who were packing their things in the room, also came out. Yue Jiunian said, "Are you talking about the surprise for Jiuzai and the others? To be honest, I don't think we really need this surprise."

"That's what I think too."

Yue Jiujie also said, "Well, we'll only know for sure when they get back; it's hard to say now."

Hearing their words, Yue Jiuling smiled at Yue Jiuli and said, "You see, I'm not the only one who thinks this way~"

"Haha, alright, let's wait for them to come back first."

Yue Jiuli sat on the sofa and played on her phone, seemingly having given up hope of the surprise.

Since not everyone had returned yet, Yue Jiuling and the others waited at home for a while. Around seven o'clock, they heard footsteps outside the house.

"You're back~"

Because of the death of someone upstairs, almost everyone in their building moved out, and now there are only a few households left. In addition, the people who used to live on the same floor as Yue Jiuling and the others have also moved away.

Therefore, now that they are the only household left on the entire floor, they can be sure that their "own people" have returned when they hear footsteps outside.
