Chapter 92 is finished.

The family has many cats. The cat room alone is over 150 square meters, enough for all the cats to live in. Pei's mother can also divide it into several rooms, each with three or four cats that get along well.

The cats that have gathered here are only a portion of the cats that were allowed to roam outside today; there are six in total, and two cans of food are simply not enough.

So Pei's mother opened two more cans of cat food, while keeping an eye on Li Miao's expression.

"!" Pei's mother was even more surprised. Li Miao seemed to be drooling over the cat food.

Even Pei Huai, who was staring intently, noticed the odd expression on Li Miao's face. For a moment, Pei Huai didn't know what to say. Back home, it wasn't like he was short of a few jars from Li Miao.

"Are you looking at the jar again?" Pei Huai whispered, his thin lips close to Li Miao's ear.

Li Miao blinked lightly, and after realizing what was happening, her face turned red. She stopped staring at the can and instead lowered her head to pet the cat attentively.

The chubby orange cat was hugging something warm, like a big thermos.

"You've been on the plane for so long, are you hungry? How about we go to the restaurant for dinner beforehand?" Pei's mother said with a joking tone, "Otherwise, I'd think Miaomiao wanted to eat too when she saw her staring at the jar."

"No, no, I was just thinking about the things I didn't bring back this time... Miaomiao, Miaomiao also likes to eat canned food." Li Miao explained with a warm face.

Then Pei's mother and Liang Yixuan suddenly remembered the cat that Li Miao and Pei Huai had been raising.

"By the way, I haven't asked you what to do with Miaomiao yet? Are you leaving her alone at home?" Liang Yixuan asked curiously.

Pei Huai paused slightly, licked his dry lips, and immediately explained, "I didn't keep him at home. I gave him to Brother Li Miao to raise. They won't be home until the two days of the New Year."

Liang Yixuan nodded in sudden realization: "I knew it."

Pei's mother: "It would be good if someone could take care of it. Otherwise, leaving a cat alone at home for so many days is indeed a bit dangerous."

Li Miao looked at Pei Huai with sparkling eyes. As expected of her boyfriend, he was so quick to cover up his lie.

"..." Pei Huai met Li Miao's admiring gaze, wanted to laugh but could only hold it in. What was all this about?

They played with the cats that had been staying in the cat room and living room all day, and then followed Aunt Pei to see the cats kept in other rooms one after another.

Each room is equipped with an individual cat tree, as well as a cat tree embedded in the wall for the cats to play with, a soft cat bed, an automatic pet water fountain in the corner, and a litter box.

As long as money is no object, even more expensive high-tech equipment can be used to take excellent care of the cats, and there is no unpleasant smell in the air.

Looking at the entire wall-mounted cat tree, Li Miao really couldn't resist turning into a cat and rushing over there.

"Take me away from this entertainment paradise, I can't hold back anymore..." Li Miao tugged at Pei Huai's sleeve and whispered to him.

When Pei's mother saw this, although she didn't know what Li Miao and her son were talking about, the subtle pink bubble between them made her smile.

Especially when she saw Pei Huai's lips curl into a slight smile, Pei's mother felt a warmth in her heart. When he was with little Li Miao, Pei Huai was much gentler than he had been at home a few months ago.

Upon hearing Li Miao say that she was about to give in to pampering her kittens anywhere, Pei Huai was speechless.

Pei Huai was instantly captivated by Li Miao's cuteness, and his hands were itching to hold her on his lap and pet her.

"Then let's go to my room and play for a while," Pei Huai said to Li Miao.

After discussing it, the two told Pei Huai's mother about it. Pei Huai said he wanted to take Li Miao to his room for a visit.

In Pei's mother's eyes, it was simply that the two children wanted to be alone, and she immediately agreed.

Liang Yixuan, naturally, didn't want to be a third wheel, so he offered to continue playing with Aunt Pei and the cat.

Li Miao followed Pei Huai up to the second floor.

The third floor is where Pei Huai's parents live, as well as their usual activity area.

Pei Huai spends most of his time on the second floor, or on the first floor and in the basement. The indoor swimming pool is in the basement, and there is also an outdoor swimming pool in the courtyard.

Before leaving, Pei Huai also took a cat treat that was on the cabinet and a cat treat from the drawer.

Li Miao followed Pei Huai to his room. As soon as they entered and the door closed, Li Miao turned into a kitten, meowing on the carpet as Pei Huai shook his fluffy dandelion tail.

"Meow~ Awoo meow~" Canned food~ I want to eat canned food~

"Little glutton." Pei Huai's heart melted, and he immediately opened the jar to let Li Miao eat something delicious.

"Meow~ Meow~" Li Miao's meows were much lighter and more lively.

Pei Huai placed the jar in his hand and squatted down so that Li Miao the cat could reach it.

Li Miao licked the can of food with great gusto, so happy she felt like she could fly. Her tail and butt were held high. If she weren't standing on the carpet eating the can, Li Miao would have been so happy that her paws would have blossomed.

Li Miao let out a soft, meowing sound.

Pei Huai stroked the kitten's back with his other hand and told Li Miao to eat slowly in a low voice.

"Silly kitten, no one's going to take your can of food from you." Pei Huai patted Li Miao's bottom.

Li Miao stopped eating her canned food, looked up at Pei Huai: Don't disturb me while I'm eating my canned food.

Pei Huai: "Alright, alright, I won't spank Miaomiao. Miaomiao, keep eating."

So Li Miao buried her head in eating her canned food. After she finished eating, Pei Huai took a piece of paper to wipe the cat's mouth. Li Miao licked it clean, removing the mess that had accidentally gotten on her mouth.

After finishing her meal, Li Miao went straight to Pei Huai's big bed. Knowing that her son was coming back, Pei Huai's mother specially instructed the housekeeper to make the bed in advance. Since it was winter, the bed was covered with a down comforter, which was light and warm.

Li Miao slept on the down comforter, which had sagged down in one place.

The kitten lay on the down comforter for a while, then happily rolled around on the bed. The big bed was so comfortable to sleep in, and it kept rubbing its cat face against the blanket.

Pei Huai saw the kitten enjoying itself and was so captivated by Li Miao that he wanted to take off his coat and lie down for a nap.

What else could it be but an invitation from a cute cat curled up in a ball?

So Pei Huai didn't stand on ceremony, quickly took a shower, changed into casual loungewear, and pulled the covers up to hug Li Miao into his arms.

Sleep together.

"Meow~" Li Miao let out a cute meow.

"Our Miaomiao really knows how to enjoy life. I want to sleep with Miaomiao too." Pei Huai hugged the cat, kissed it, and then sniffed it deeply.

Li Miao, being a cat, is incredibly well-behaved. Other cats might find it a bit strange that humans would suddenly and intensely cuddle her like that.

Li Miao has intelligence and her own consciousness, so she became a cat that Pei Huai could pet and stroke at will, and would never run away or resist.

Li Miao opened her soft little belly and let Pei Huai suck on it freely, looking at Pei Huai with a proud and arrogant gaze. He said with his eyes: I'm good to you, right? You can suck on the cat as much as you want. Come on, suck on it if you want.

Even if Pei Huai didn't understand what Li Miao was trying to say, seeing that Li Miao had taken the initiative to expose her belly and invite him, how could he not take a bite?

On the soft, large bed, Pei Huai was completely absorbed in petting his cat.

Li Miao felt as if her boyfriend had turned into a flower vine, clinging to her tightly and refusing to let go.

Life is tough for cats!

The kitten looked up and howled.

After resting at home for a while, the family set off for a restaurant for dinner, and Liang Yixuan accompanied them this time.

He was actually nervous in front of the two elders, but luckily he had Pei Huai and Li Miao, who were his peers, by his side.

As we sat down to eat together, our tense emotions gradually relaxed.

At the dinner table, Pei's mother mostly asked about Pei Huai's life at school, and occasionally asked Liang Yixuan if he was getting used to being at school this semester.

When asked about Li Miao, Pei's mother was more interested in learning about Li Miao's hometown, Lingmao Village, than about Li Miao's experiences at school.

Ever since she learned that the Mandarin Duck Lion Cat she had seen many years ago was still alive and healthy, Mrs. Pei felt that fate and destiny were truly wondrous.

If she ever has the chance, she really wants to return to Lingmao Village and tease that fairy cat she loved so much back then.

“Sure, if Auntie plans to visit our village, I’ll tell Grandma in advance. Grandma will definitely be happy to see you,” Li Miao replied enthusiastically.

Mrs. Pei: "Great, that's wonderful! I'm looking forward to it now!"

"Eat shrimp balls?" Pei Huai picked up a fried shrimp ball with his chopsticks, intending to put it in Li Miao's bowl.

Because his parents were still alive, although he usually fed Li Miao directly, he still wanted to be more restrained at this moment.

However, Li Miao never expected to be so restrained. Instead of using her own bowl to catch it, she opened her mouth directly.

Awoo~ Awoo~

Its eyes were bright and sparkling, waiting for the two-legged creatures to feed it.

Pei Huai: "..." Do you know that my parents are still here?

Pei Huai had no choice but to feed Li Miao directly. The fried shrimp balls were round and plump. Li Miao put them in his mouth, and his cheeks bulged out. He chewed and chewed, looking incredibly cute, like a chipmunk eating.

Pei Huai's parents were at a loss for words at the sight of such a tender and loving act of feeding him; the two children were still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.

Sitting to the side, Liang Yixuan's eyes widened in surprise: How dare you! You dare to show affection in front of your parents, huh?

Li Miao, who knew nothing about this:

Chew, chew, chew, delicious! ~o( =∩ω∩= )m

After finishing his meal, Liang Yixuan took a taxi home.

Li Miao stayed at Pei Huai's house for a while.

That night, Pei's mother was actually a little embarrassed to ask her son whether Li Miao would sleep in the guest room or... cough cough... sleep with her son.

After hesitating for a moment, Pei's mother asked Pei Huai indirectly which of the many guest rooms Li Miao wanted to stay in.

Pei Huaiwei lifted her thin white eyelids and replied to her mother, "We'll see then. I'll make the arrangements tonight."

Since her son had said so, Mrs. Pei suppressed the urge to secretly laugh, and with a serious expression, said okay.

That evening, Pei Huai didn't discuss the matter with Li Miao. Li Miao naturally moved into Pei Huai's room, just like when they lived together off-campus.

And so, Li Miao spent many days playing at Pei Huai's house.

Pei's mother always asked the aunt to make the food that Li Miao wanted to eat.

When the adults aren't home, Pei Huai and Li Miao sometimes go to the gym to work out, sometimes go to the movie theater to watch movies, or sometimes go swimming in the indoor swimming pool on the basement floor.

One day, Li Miao quietly told Pei Huai that he wanted to go play parkour on the wall-mounted cat tree in the cat room.

Pei Huai also fulfilled Li Miao's wish. While his parents were not at home and it was just him and Li Miao at home, he temporarily turned off the surveillance camera in the cat room.

Let Limiao play games with the cats.

Li Miao reverted to her original form and meowed, saying she wanted to have a competition to see who could pass all the levels on the cat tree more nimbly and quickly.

The original resident cats of the Pei family were naturally unconvinced, even though the new kitten had a soft meow and a scent that made them want to get close to it.

But despite their young age, they dared to challenge her, and a few disgruntled cats stepped forward to compete with Li Miao.

Li Miao, with its four short legs, ran very fast and jumped very nimbly, clearly a very powerful cat.

Several times it left the native cats far behind.

After winning several games, Li Miao stood on the floor, proudly puffing out her little chest, and asked the cats if they recognized her.

The cats who lost to Li Miao had to admit defeat.

The new cat is so amazing, and its scent is so attractive to other cats.

Gradually, a bunch of cats gathered around.

Before Li Miao knew it, a Siamese cat licked the fur on her back.

What's worse, Li Miao feels that this Siamese cat, which humans say is a very hardworking "domestic helper," seems to be coming over to lick his butt now.

"Meow meow meow~~! Meow meow meow~!" How could Li Miao let other kittens lick his butt?

She quickly grabbed Pei Huai's trouser leg, tugging at the boy's pant leg, urging Pei Huai to pick her up.

Pei Huai thought that Li Miao had had enough fun and wasn't going to play with the cats at home anymore, so he dragged the little cat back to the bedroom to rest.

As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Li Miao turned into a human and started complaining. The Siamese cat was indeed too kind-hearted. Not only did it lick his fur, but it almost licked his butt.

Having figured out why Li Miao suddenly didn't want to play games, Pei Huai couldn't help but chuckle. So that's how it is.

Pei Huai was smiling when Li Miao glared at him.

Li Miao: "Don't laugh at me!"

Li Miao sat on the bed, angrily turned around, and faced away from Pei Huai.

Pei Huai hugged the boy from behind, his voice deep and sexy: "Don't laugh, I won't laugh at Miaomiao."

Li Miao: "Hmph~"

Time flies, and soon it was the eve of the Spring Festival, which was also the time for Li Miao to pack her bags and go home for the New Year.

On the day Li Miao was about to leave by plane, Pei's mother felt a little reluctant to part with her. With Li Miao around, the dinner table at home was always more lively.

Pei's father comforted his wife, calmly smiling, "It's not like we'll never come back. We have to let Li Miao and her family celebrate the New Year."

As he spoke, Pei's father handed Li Miao the gifts he had prepared in advance for her grandmother, brother, and Li Miao herself.

All the bags, big and small, fit perfectly into the suitcase; if I packed anything more, it definitely wouldn't fit.

"I'll take you to the airport." Pei Huai took Li Miao's suitcase and helped her boyfriend carry it.

“Okay.” Li Miao obediently replied.

Thick, gray clouds hung in the sky, and for several days in a row, Shanghai experienced persistently cold and gloomy weather.

Li Miao was wearing a warm, fluffy down jacket, and a fluffy rabbit fur scarf around her slender neck.

With her red lips, white teeth, and bright eyes, she stood quietly beside Pei Huai, looking incredibly adorable.

"When you get home, remember to let Pei Huai know you're safe."

"Auntie welcomes you to come to our house again next time." Pei's mother wiped her eyes with some reluctance.

Seeing that her aunt's eyes were wet, Li Miao opened her arms and hugged her.

"Okay, flying is so fast now. I'll come visit Pei Huai again next time."

"Auntie, bye-bye, see you next time." Li Miao nuzzled against Pei's mother.

The pom-pom pendant at the end of his rabbit fur scarf brushed against Mrs. Pei's cheek.

Suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes, Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "Okay, then Auntie looks forward to Li Miao coming to play again next time."

"Okay, it's settled then." Li Miao smiled and released her embrace.

After the formal farewell, Pei Huai took Li Miao to the airport.

At the airport, the two hugged for a while in the VIP lounge before Pei Huai reluctantly watched Li Miao leave.

Li Miao took a nap on the plane, and when she opened her eyes again, she had arrived in the provincial capital of her hometown. She still had to transfer and take a bus to get there directly.

After getting off the plane, Li Miao let Pei Huai know she was safe. When she finally arrived home by bus, she didn't forget to let Pei Huai know she was safe either.

Pei Huai replied: 【Okay, go home and get some rest, don't overwork yourself. I'll fly to visit you after the New Year.】

Li Miao sent a message: 【Okay, okay】

When Li Miao returned home, Li Xuan was also home. Li Xuan had returned by car two days earlier.

Two days before the New Year, villagers in Lingmao Village decorated their courtyards in a lively manner, and the trees planted in the courtyards were also decorated with festive red ribbons and New Year decorations.

On New Year's Eve, starting in the afternoon, Li Miao and Li Xuan helped their grandmother prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

When the time came, Grandma Li and her two younger relatives sat in front of the TV on time, eating and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

The only difference this year was when watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Li Miao and Pei Huai kept their video call going.

Li Xuan and Pei Qingsong's voice messages remained connected.

The two ends of the phone call were bustling and even a little noisy, but the call also connected two young couples who were deeply in love with each other.

Outside the courtyard, a villager started setting off fireworks, and other villagers who had prepared fireworks also began to set them off.

Li Miao and Li Xuan's family also bought some, so they simply played with all sorts of fireworks with their grandma in the yard.

Pei Huai's city of Shanghai has a ban on fireworks, making it far less lively and atmospheric than the countryside around Li Miao.

"Fireworks are prohibited here," Pei Huai said regretfully.

"It's okay, I'll set off fireworks for you, your aunt, and your uncle." Li Miao took out the various fireworks her grandmother had bought at the market and showed them to Pei Huai, asking him which kind he wanted to see.

"I don't know which one to look at, or what they'll look like when they're released," Pei Huai said truthfully.

"It's okay, then my brother and I will set off all the fireworks and celebrate the New Year together~" Li Miao smiled at the camera with her delicate eyebrows curving.

Over the next few minutes, Li Miao invited Pei Huai and his family to enjoy the colorful fireworks show together, all through the phone screen.

In the dead of night, as black as a curtain, the sky above the village was unusually lively.

Fireworks bursting from the courtyards of every household illuminated the long night, creating a dazzling display of light and color.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Li Miao asked, leaning closer to the camera.

Pei Huai's parents praised the fireworks, saying they were beautiful.

Pei Huai stared at Li Miao's vivid and lively face on the screen and couldn't help but praise, "Beautiful, Miao Miao is so beautiful."

"I didn't ask you if I looked good, I was asking you about the fireworks, the fireworks~!" Li Miao couldn't help but emphasize.

Pei Huai smiled slightly: "The fireworks are beautiful, and the mist is beautiful too."

Li Miao's face flushed red instantly. Hearing Pei Huai's parents laughing on the other end of the phone, he became even more embarrassed.

The two-legged creature was mischievous; it deliberately made him shy.

"We should make New Year's wishes," Li Miao said, quickly changing the subject with a flushed face.

"Okay," Pei Huai replied, his deep voice carrying a hint of reverence even through the phone.

"Then make a wish, not just for this year, but for next year, the year after, and every year thereafter..."

"I want to be with Miaomiao and spend the New Year together."

As Li Miao listened to what was being said on the other end of the phone, a thin blush appeared on her fair face.

"Ahem, my New Year's wish... is also..."

"I want to stay with Pei Huai forever."

"It's so sour, it's unbearably sour." Li Xuan, who was standing to the side, got goosebumps from the sourness.

"Hmph, what's with the sourness? Don't you want to stay with Pei Qingsong forever?" Li Miao saw her brother was also on the video call and yelled at the phone in his hand, "You better control your boyfriend!"

"Don't you want to stay with me forever?" Pei Qingsong narrowed his eyes and asked in a deliberately low voice.

Li Xuan's expression hardened, and he explained, "No, no, don't listen to Li Miao's nonsense."

While Li Xuan was on the phone with Pei Qingsong, he also took the time to glare at Li Miao.

Li Miao made a face at her brother, "Hehehe~ You bullied the kitten."

Grandma Li and Pei Huai burst out laughing when they saw this little incident.

The fireworks in the village continued to bloom for a long time.

"Miaomiao, I love you." Pei Huai's deep eyes were especially earnest.

Caught off guard by the confession, Li Miao blushed and, after covering his feverish cheeks for a while, earnestly said to Pei Huai on the other side of the camera:

“Yes, Miaomiao also likes Pei Huai.”

Pei Huai felt a burning heat in his heart. He licked his dry lips and said, "I'll take a plane to see you after the second day of the Lunar New Year."

“Okay, let’s build a snowman together in the yard. Oh, and my grandma made lots of sausages and cured meat. They’re so fragrant and delicious. We’ll eat them together too,” Li Miao said enthusiastically, her eyes full of affection and anticipation for Pei Huai.

"Okay, then it's settled." Pei Huai said with a smile.

The video call between the two continued until they went to rest and sleep.

At night, Li Miao transformed into a kitten, curled up in a ball, and slept comfortably.

Pei Huai fell asleep to the sound of Li Miao's snores.

Pei Huai couldn't get enough of listening and was reluctant to hang up the phone.

The next morning, when Pei Huai woke up, his phone was long dead.

I charge my phone, turn it on, and open WeChat.

Pei Huai then received a Happy New Year message from Li Miao.

Pei Huai smiled faintly, sent Li Miao a New Year's red envelope, and congratulated her with a voice message: "Happy New Year, my Miao Miao."
