Extra Chapter Seven: Confessing to Pei Huai's Parents about Li Mao

While transforming into a human child, Li Mao Mao retains her ears and tail!

Even in my wildest fantasies, Li Miao's heart fluttered with tenderness.

He looked at Pei Huai, and sure enough, Pei Huai's eyes were also filled with surprise.

"Does Grandma mean that we should leave Li Mao Mao in Lingmao Mountain for a while?" Li Miao asked with some reluctance.

“I’ve had this idea. That’s how I’ve raised you and Li Xuan before. But if you want to live with Li Cat, you can bring her here to be raised after a while,” Grandma Li said slowly.

"Li Maomao might not want to leave you yet." Grandma Li held the kitten, smiled at him, and said kindly, "Isn't that right, our Li Maomao?"

"Meow~ Meow~" Li Mao Mao couldn't understand her grandmother's words, so she whispered sweet nothings. A few meows softened Grandma Li's heart.

"You've been on the plane for so long, are you hungry? Grandma will make you some delicious food," Grandma Li coaxed the kitten.

The kitten responded with a sweet meow.

After giving the cat back to Li Miao, Grandma Li went to make lunch with great enthusiasm.

At lunchtime, Li Jinxuan was held in Li Miao's arms, while Li Miao ate her meal while holding the kitten.

Li Mao Mao propped his front paws on the edge of the table and opened his mouth to eat the food prepared for him on the plate. The white fish meat had been deboned, and the boiled shrimp had been peeled by the adults.

Chewing and chewing, the kitten ate with great relish, its tail swaying back and forth in Li Miao's arms, completely absorbed in its meal.

"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke." Li Miao looked at the kitten who was eating voraciously with some concern in her eyes.

The kitten didn't even have time to meow in response; its mouth was stuffed full of food, and it was too busy eating to keep up.

"..." Ignored, Li Miao gently patted the cat's bottom and scolded it in a low voice: "I told you not to pretend you didn't hear me."

The kitten's bottom was so soft, and its fur felt so comfortable to the touch. Li Miao couldn't resist giving it another squeeze.

"Meow~" the cat protested in a muffled voice.

"Hehe." Pei Huai, sitting to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. He watched the friendly and heartwarming scene and continued peeling shrimp.

Soon another shrimp was peeled out.

"Put it in his bowl," Li Miao said, noticing.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Huai put a freshly peeled shrimp into Li Miao's mouth.

As she tasted the fresh sweetness on her tongue, Li Miao slightly opened her eyes and looked at Pei Huai.

"I don't just feed the cats; I also peel shells for my wife," Pei Huai said calmly.

Li Miao blushed and used her tongue to roll the shrimp into her mouth and chew. She turned her head and met her grandmother's doting smile. When her grandmother saw Pei Huai and her grandmother's intimate behavior, Li Miao's snow-white ears turned even redder.

“I can eat by myself, you should peel some more for Li Miao.” Li Miao grinned, showing his sharp teeth. He easily crushed the small, crispy shrimp shells, without Pei Huai having to peel them for him at all.

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife," Pei Huai said.

Li Miao coughed lightly, leaned closer to Pei Huai's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Do you have to call me 'wife' so many times in front of Grandma?"

He's a male cat, after all. Doesn't he have any self-respect?

"Calling Miaomiao 'husband' is fine too."

"Husband~" Pei Huai said in a relaxed tone.

Li Miao: "..."

Li Miao: "I think you should just focus on eating." Eat a couple more bites to shut you up.

Grandma Li saw this and her smile widened.

No wonder Li Miao and Pei Huai got Li Mao Mao so quickly.

Will Na Lixuan and her boyfriend have kittens in the future?

Grandma Li had just been thinking about this when Li Miao brought it up at the dinner table.

Li Miao felt that both she and Pei Huai had cats. Li Miao asked, "Will my brother and Pei Qingsong have kittens in the future?"

"If I could have a kitten, I could keep Li Mao Mao company and grow up together."

Pei Huai was also curious about this.

Grandma Li said truthfully, "I don't know about that, but as you said, before Li Miao had Li Miao's appetite increased significantly for a period of time, but after Li Miao was born, her appetite returned to the same level as before."

"You can refer to this change in the future. As for whether your brother and his partner will have kittens, I don't know."

Grandma Li still has some doubts. She wonders if Li Miao accidentally ate some rare and precious herb from Lingmao Mountain when she was a child, which gave her the ability to "give birth to kittens" by condensing spiritual energy.

"I see. Then we'll have to see how it goes later." Li Miao nodded thoughtfully.

After lunch, Li Miao and Pei Huai took Li Mao Mao and stayed in the village.

It's summer vacation, so it's a good time to take a break.

Li Miao also returned to her original form and played freely with Li Mao Mao. She even took Li Mao Mao to play in the mountains behind the house, just like she did when she was a child.

The environment of Lingmao Mountain is much better than that of the city, with fresh air, clear mountain spring water, and lush trees.

The mountainous terrain is also open, making it more suitable for kittens to practice their jumping and hunting skills.

There are many wild animals in the mountains, including wild birds, pheasants, and wild rabbits.

While playing in Lingmao Mountain, Limaomao's agility was trained and greatly improved, allowing her to hunt many wild animals with Limiao.

After successfully hunting them, Li Miao planned to release them all.

"When we grow up to be human, we can't eat wild animals, understand?" Li Miao turned to teach Li Maomao, "There's plenty of food at home, we can just eat fish."

The cat, carrying a wild bird in its mouth, tilted its head and whimpered, "Meow?" It seemed to understand but not quite.

It was only after becoming a human that Li Miao realized that some of the wild animals she had eaten before were actually protected animals.

The predecessors of the civet cat tribe had communicated and reached an agreement with special departments of human society. Civet cats can act according to their nature without being restricted by law. Even in other places, as cats, they can hunt food in the food chain, but they cannot hunt in large quantities to sell intentionally.

"Meow~!" Time to eat. The little cat still had food struggling in its mouth, its meows muffled and indistinct.

Li Miao: "Meow~ Meow meow meow~" You let go first.

Li Mao resisted the temptation of food. He didn't understand why Baba was telling him to let go, but he was an obedient cat, so he let go.

The struggling wild bird gained its freedom, flapped its wings and flew away, reborn and free.

This time it was Li Mao Mao's turn to be dumbfounded; his food had flown away.

"Meow~ Meow~ Meow~" Li Mao cried and told Baba about her grievances.

"Don't feel wronged or sad. Grandma cooked for us, and we can eat with Pei Huai when we go back now," Li Miao comforted Li Maomao.

The cat's ears and tail were drooping.

Li Miao comforted Li Maomao for a while before finally managing to take her home for dinner.

Pei Huai cooked lunch today. Besides the usual home-style dishes, what attracted Li Miao, Li Maomao, and Grandma Li the most was a big plate of fried small yellow croakers.

The fried yellow croakers are fresh out of the hot pan, golden and crispy, with a fragrant aroma.

Even with just a sip of saliva, one can imagine the crumbly texture of the small yellow croaker as it crumbles in the mouth.

My appetite has been thoroughly whetted.

Li Miao picked up a small yellow croaker and bit off half of it in one go.

The cat followed suit and bit off half of it as well.

Li Miao stared at the kitten in shock. What? The kitten's mouth had grown so big!

The kitten chewed its food, wagging its tail excitedly: Hehe~o( ∩ω∩ )m

Grandma Li also really liked the small yellow croaker that Pei Huai made, and kept praising it.

Pei Huai listened to the three cat meows coming from the table, one after another, and was both amused and exasperated.

Who knows, he's having dinner with three cats right now.

After spending a week in Lingmao Village, Pei Huai's parents missed him and asked him when he would come home for a while. They also invited Li Miao to come home and play with them.

Li Miao looked down at her kitten: "Where's Li the kitten?"

The cat, who was grooming itself, paused, looked up at Baba, tilted its head, and meowed, "Meow?"

It might be better for the cats to grow up in Lingmao Mountain. After discussing it, Pei Huai and Li Miao decided to give it a try.

"Okay, I'll go tell Grandma right now."

As soon as Li Miao stood up, Pei Huai grabbed her sleeve.

After a moment of eye contact, Pei Huai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

“Say what you want to say,” Li Miao said.

Pei Huai: "Li Mao Mao is still so small. It's not good to leave him alone on Lingmao Mountain. He might be afraid of being alone or something."

"What's there for cats to be afraid of? Maybe the little cats are even happier. Living with us means they can only play at home, and their entertainment area is smaller than a corner of Lingmao Mountain."

"..." Pei Huai pursed his lips slightly, then said in a deep voice, "I'm still a little reluctant to leave Li Maomao here alone."

After thinking for a while, Li Miao hugged Pei Huai and said, "Okay, since you also can't bear to be separated from Li Miao, let's hide together for a while."

"Also?" Pei Huai kissed Li Miao's forehead, his eyes filled with a smile as he asked her.

Li Miao blushed and muttered in a low voice, "What, can't I also be reluctant to part with Li Maomao?"

Every day, that little cat follows him around meowing and even kneads on him. How adorable! He can't bear to leave Li Mao Mao alone in Lingmao Village.

Li Miao wants to nurse the baby with Pei Huai!

Having made their decision, Li Miao and Pei Huai told Grandma Li about their thoughts.

Grandma Li respected their opinions, but told them that they could stay at Lingmao Mountain a little longer during future long holidays.

So Li Miao and Pei Huai stayed in the village for the entire summer vacation.

Li Miao often takes Li Maomao to play wildly in the mountains, and even seriously teaches Li Maomao how to identify mushrooms.

"Remember this, you can sell these for money. If you ever run out of money, you can pick them and sell them."

"But you shouldn't be short of money in the future, your other brother is very rich."

"Meow~ Meow~!" The cat was babbling incoherently, and no one knew what it was saying.

"Pay attention in class!" Li Miao patted Li Mao Mao's head with her paw.

Li Mao Mao's expression hardened: "Meow!"

***

A week before the end of summer vacation, Pei Huai and Li Miao took Li Mao Mao back to Pei Huai's parents' house.

Pei Huai and Li Miao brought back a new kitten.

When Pei's mother saw the kitten for the first time, she was excited and happy.

"Is this the cat you recently picked up?"

Li Miao and Pei Huai were about to explain.

Mother Pei shook her head and muttered, "No, the markings look exactly like Miaomiao's. Could it be Miaomiao's kitten with another female cat?"

“No! Li Miao is the child of Pei Huai and me!” Li Miao said earnestly.

"I know, the kitten is the second child you and Pei Huai raised together."

"What I mean is that Li Mao Mao is Miao Miao's child with other female cats."

“No…” Li Miao held back the urge to explain in detail.

"Oh, so it's not Miaomiao's child. I just thought the colors looked so similar," said Mother Pei in a drawn-out tone.

She looked at Li Miao's eyes again.

Li Miao pouted, her eyes filled with unhappiness.

Mother Pei was startled. Was that really Miao Miao's child? She said yes, but Li Miao said no. She said no again, and Li Miao became sullen.

Pei's mother wanted to get closer to Li Miao and didn't want to say anything that would upset her, so she looked to Pei Huai for help.

Pei Huai coughed lightly, picked up the kitten and handed it to his mother, asking her to play with the kitten for a while.

"So cute! Let Auntie give you a kiss." Pei's mother was captivated at first sight of Li Mao Mao. She pinched Li Mao Mao's paw and saw that it was pink and tender, and her paws smelled sweet.

"I really want to take a bite," Pei's mother thought in a slightly perverse way.

***

Pei Huai pulled Li Miao back to his room.

Li Miao hugged Pei Huai's waist somewhat dejectedly, his exposed ears and tail drooping pitifully. He said in a muffled voice, "Li Miao is my and your child."

"Well, my mom would never imagine you're a cat."

"Why don't we just confess right now!" Li Miao's eyes lit up; after all, this kind of thing would be exposed sooner or later anyway.

When Li Mao Mao grows up, she'll have to go to kindergarten and elementary school.

How will we explain this child, Li Mao Mao, who suddenly appeared?

Pei Huai lowered his eyes and stared into Li Miao's eyes, also feeling that he should find a time to talk to his parents about this.

However, there's the story of a cat turning into a human and then having a kitten that can also turn into a human.

Tell his parents slowly, and they should be able to accept it.

"..."

"…………"

They should be able to accept it, it's just an animal becoming a spirit.
