"Junjun".

"Qiao Qiao".

She pronounced both names very clearly and learned them very quickly.

"You little ingrate." Miao Yuanyuan said irritably as she tapped her round chin with her fair finger when she saw her obedient daughter like this, but the smile on her face didn't diminish much.

"Eeee!" Little Xue exclaimed happily, raising her paws and saying to her mother, "Grandma!! What's wrong with you!"

He looked rather smug.

Upon seeing this, Miao Yuanyuan couldn't help but burst out laughing. "My little Xue, how can you be so cute?" She leaned over and kissed her soft cheek, her body filled with the scent of milk.

Junjun and Qiaoqiao are also our family.

Da Mao didn't come back all year. Occasionally, some stray cats would come over and convey a message to Jun Qi that Da Mao was safe and happy. Sometimes, the stray cats would even bring small gifts, all from Da Mao.

Sometimes it's a pretty stone, a cute little plush toy, a nice handkerchief, and so on. I don't know where he found it.

Xu Qiaoqiao would carefully store these things. For things like toys, she would ask her pet owner to wash them thoroughly and then put them in a cookie box and keep them safe.

"Meow."

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the contents of the box. It was full of gifts that Da Mao had sent back, as well as gifts from Li Zi and Xiao Hei. Xu Qiaoqiao had carefully kept all of these. The figure of her squatting next to the box looked somewhat lonely.

Jun Qi walked over and saw Xu Qiaoqiao's back. He felt uneasy. He suddenly felt that this little kitten was so far away from him.

"Meow!"

Jun Qi ran over and got close to Xu Qiaoqiao. The moment he felt her body temperature, all those random thoughts completely disappeared.

Another year has passed. Time seems to have sped up, and in the blink of an eye, I'm a year older.

In the second half of this year, our lovely little Xue will start kindergarten.

On her first day of kindergarten, the whole family went out and watched her walk into the kindergarten, looking back every few steps.

The child has grown up.

Xu Qiaoqiao yawned. Recently, she could clearly feel her body gradually deteriorating. She was starting to feel powerless to do many things, especially when playing with the children. She felt very tired after only jumping a few steps.

Seriously, I'm getting old.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiaoqiao turned her head to look at Jun Qi. Looking into his beautiful eyes, she noticed a hint of weariness in them.

"Meow."

Xu Qiaoqiao reached out her paw and touched Jun Qi's ears and eyes. The movement was very light, like a breeze brushing across a lake. Jun Qi's eyelids trembled. He looked down and saw the kitten staring at him.

"Meow?" Kitten, what's wrong?

Jun Qi lowered his head and licked the fur on Xu Qiaoqiao's face, his breath spraying onto her face.

Xu Qiaoqiao shook her head without saying a word, just quietly staying with Jun Qi, as if time had stopped at that moment. She now understood how Li Zi and the others felt.

There's really nothing to be afraid of until that moment comes.
