Chapter 51 One Egg, Four Pinch

Ji Zhi Qiu hadn't expected them to say this, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

This kid is quite polite; he even came to tell him he wanted to join.

"Of course! What do you all think?"

Seeing Ji Zhi Qiu's support, everyone else followed suit, enthusiastically grabbing Xu Zhuang Zhuang's hand and asking him what role he wanted to play, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Xu Zhuangzhuang was somewhat flattered and kept turning around to look at Ji Zhi Qiu.

Ji Zhi Qiu smiled at him and was about to walk forward when she suddenly felt her clothes being tugged.

He turned around and looked at the dazed Ji Yanyan, asking, "Why are you still standing here? Aren't you going to play?"

Ji Yanyan can no longer hear her father's voice.

He stood with Ji Zhi Qiu, while Xu Zhuang Zhuang was facing them, so he naturally assumed that the "Big Brother" was addressed to him.

These two words were like unlocking an ancient treasure, sending shivers down his spine from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Amidst the violent tremors, his soul seemed to have found its home.

He's the eldest brother!

He has a younger brother now!

Ji Yanyan thoroughly enjoyed this feeling. When she looked up again, her eyes had changed, and she immediately rushed over.

To show his care as the eldest brother, he took extra care of Xu Zhuangzhuang and fought for his rights, which made Xu Zhuangzhuang feel even more flattered.

Xu Zhuangzhuang originally thought Ji Yanyan was just a little kid, but because he was his older brother's child, he had to show him respect.

But after spending time together, he felt that he got along better with Ji Yanyan.

Ji Yanyan actually knows about the Little Flying Hero and his dream of dominating the martial arts world!

The two found common ground and chatted more and more enthusiastically, even stopping their games to talk about their plans, getting incredibly excited and occasionally letting out screams.

As evening approached, Ji Yanyan reluctantly said goodbye to her little brother after being urged by Ji Zhi Qiu, and they even made plans to go out and play together again next time.

Ji Zhi Qiu looked at Ji Yan Yan, who kept turning back to look at her, and said with a smile, "Does Yan Yan really like this new friend?"

“Not a friend, he’s my little brother, and my first little brother!” Ji Yanyan said, emphasizing each word with great seriousness.

Ji Zhi Qiu paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Does Zhuang Zhuang know that he's willing to be your little brother?"

"Of course." Ji Yanyan puffed out her chest and pointed her nose high, looking proud of her personal charm.

Xu Zhuangzhuang called me "Big Brother" right away.

Seeing that Ji Yanyan didn't seem to be bullying the younger child, Ji Zhi Qiu smiled and patted his head, saying, "In that case, Yanyan, you must take good care of your little brother."

"That goes without saying." Ji Yanyan counted on her fingers, calculating little by little. "I'll keep the duck bun, give him the frog bun, and my treasures too—my little brother should have what I have!"

Ji Zhi Qiu didn't disturb his son. He listened attentively and occasionally gave a few reminders to prevent Ji Yan Yan from making a mistake.

Ji Yanyan was excited all night and couldn't sleep when it was time to go to bed. His eyes were shining as he stared at the ceiling. Even at such a young age, he was proud and afraid that his father would think he was silly. He buried his head in the blanket and chuckled to himself, his chubby body trembling.

Ji Zhi Qiu was both amused and exasperated, and could only pretend not to see it. After another hour of this, Ji Yan Yan finally drifted off to sleep.

...

Ji Zhi Qiu usually sleeps well, but this time he had a series of nightmares. He felt like a wall was pressing down on him, and he could only retreat again and again, and he was about to reach the edge of a cliff.

He struggled to open his eyes and found that the room was already lit; it was the next morning.

Still half-asleep, he looked to the side, his eyes glazed over, and after a few seconds of blank staring, he realized what the wall in his dream was.

The mother cat jumped onto the bed at some point, lying between him and Ji Yanyan. Her chin was pressed against Ji Yanyan's head, her front paws were on his arms, and her body was angled to take up the most space. Her hind paws were outstretched, kicking him hard. Ji Zhi Qiu was unable to resist in his sleep and was squeezed to the edge of the bed, with no room to even turn over.

"You can't argue with a cat," Ji Zhi Qiu said silently as she sat up and sighed.

For some reason, the mother cat ignored her own kittens and insisted on holding hers. The way she looked so full of maternal love made Ji Zhi Qiu wonder if the mother cat still had milk, she would let Ji Yan Yan have a taste.

Ji Zhi Qiu's movement of getting up woke up the mother cat. The mother cat stood up, meowed softly at Ji Zhi Qiu, and then jumped off the bed.

When the mother cat returned, she was carrying her baby in her mouth. Her baby was already quite big, with all four paws on the ground, dragging along like a mop. Her round cat eyes were full of confusion.

Miss Sanhua didn't need her mother to carry her; she followed behind with elegant and reserved cat-like steps.

The mother cat struggled to jump onto the bed and tossed her baby into Ji Zhi Qiu's arms. The calico cat found a spot and curled up comfortably.

Ji Zhi Qiu looked at the two kittens in her arms, then turned to look at the mother cat holding Ji Yan Yan, completely bewildered.

No, I didn't mean to swap babies with you!

The dazed orange tabby son had the same idea. He tentatively stretched out his front paw, trying to sneak away, but was given a good thrashing by his calico sister. His mother also hissed at him, so he could only retreat back with a guilty conscience, cowering into a ball, angry but not daring to say anything.

Ji Zhi Qiu was thus put to the cat family's care. Looking at Ji Yan Yan sleeping soundly, he could only helplessly hold the two cats and prepare breakfast for them.

Having a mother cat help take care of the kittens is a good thing. After breakfast, Ji Zhi Qiu gave a few instructions and went out with peace of mind.

The pet hospital messaged him last night saying that the cat's medical report was ready and that he could come to pick it up and discuss it in person.

Ji Zhi Qiu had a bad feeling, fearing that something was wrong with the three cats, so he arrived at the pet hospital as soon as it opened.

The veterinarian talked to him a lot. In short, the cat's various indicators were all healthy, but it had a genetic disease.

After hearing this, Ji Zhi Qiu doubted his hearing. "So, Rong Rong only has half a testicle, and the other half is just an eggshell?!"

The veterinarian nodded. "This is a genetic disease. The father kitten's symptoms are probably more severe."

Ji Zhi Qiu hesitated, then asked more seriously, "Are both sides just eggshells?"

"Theoretically, that should be the case."

Ji Zhi Qiu: "..."

A genetic disease that is easily inherited is generally not passed down.

The veterinarian tried to explain in simple terms, "Although the father cat is only left with an eggshell, he miraculously retains the ability to reproduce. This gene is only passed on to male kittens, but the offspring do not show the same symptoms as the father cat, so only half of the offspring remain."

Ji Zhi Qiu's lips twitched twice, and she asked, "Then do I still need to bring Rong Rong to get sterilized later?"

"Theoretically, it's not necessary, but just to be on the safe side, let's get sterilized."

Ji Zhi Qiu asked some more questions about raising cats before leaving with the examination report.

He had been thinking about this the whole way, forgetting his surroundings for a moment, until a cat's meow brought him back to his senses.

The father cat, who is suspected of having a genetic disease that is not supposed to be hereditary but has miraculously passed it on, still looks fierce. He squats in front of him and tries to meow in a strained voice.

Ji Zhi Qiu chuckled awkwardly, unsure how to face him.

The kitten father held his tail high, glanced at Ji Zhi Qiu a few times, walked a short distance ahead, and then turned back to meow at him.

Ji Zhi Qiu paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you want me to come along?"

The father cat meowed again.

After Ji Zhi Qiu followed, the cat dad was relieved. He was only three steps away from him and led the way. The two of them walked to the base of the wall in the community.

The father cat skillfully rolled over, exposing his belly, his four legs naturally relaxed and spread apart. His face still looked fierce, but his gaze towards Ji Zhi Qiu carried a hint of flattery and expectation.

Ji Zhi Qiu, however, was traumatized. She looked around, afraid of being caught red-handed again.

He actually spotted it; a wisp of orange fur was hidden among the bushes. He immediately took a few steps back, signaling to his father to look over.

The cat father glanced at it, but didn't seem to care, and then meowed at Ji Zhi Qiu in a low voice.

Ji Zhi Qiu understood.

This is my trustworthy cat, specifically responsible for keeping watch.

Ji Zhi Qiu was finally relieved and once again demonstrated his superb cat-petting skills, petting him thoroughly from head to toe. The cat dad was so engrossed in the experience that he seemed oblivious to the world around him, twisting and turning seductively, and his meows became even sweeter.

Ji Zhi Qiu had some doubts in her mind. Taking advantage of the cat father's inattention, she quickly and accurately pinched the two round and bulging testicles with her hand moving downwards.

It was empty; only the eggshell remained.

To confirm his guess, he couldn't help but pinch it a little more, but that one pinch caught the cat's father's attention.

The cat father froze, staring at Ji Zhi Qiu in disbelief.

How could you touch someone's crotch?

Ji Zhi Qiu was caught red-handed doing something wrong, but he wasn't embarrassed at all. He casually rubbed his hands a couple more times to indicate that the service was complete and asked for a five-star review.

The cat dad instantly transformed from "Mimi" to "Sad Biao," glanced at Ji Zhi Qiu, and walked in the opposite direction. The orange cat, who was keeping watch under the bushes, immediately followed.

Ji Zhi Qiu stared blankly for a few seconds at their almost identical backs.

Normally only dogs come to urinate against the wall, so Ji Zhi Qiu found it really strange to be standing there by herself and immediately returned to the main road.

After returning home, he did not bring up the matter on his own initiative, but Ji Sicheng, being thoughtful, took the initiative to inquire about it after dinner.

The second son was too clever, so Ji Zhi Qiu knew she couldn't hide it anymore and took out the medical report, briefly explaining the reason.

So Rongrong only has one testicle?

After hearing this, Ji Yanyan's expression froze, and he stared blankly ahead. Ji Zhi Qiu thought he was sad and was about to comfort him when Ji Yanyan suddenly pulled down his pants and looked inside: "How many testicles does Yanyan have?"

!!

Ji Zhi Qiu immediately reached out to stop Ji Yan Yan, and Ji Zi Shen also rushed in front of the camera, blocking the view with his body.

Seeing Ji Yanyan's actions, Ji Sicheng was speechless and almost rolled his eyes. "No need to look. We took a bath together. You have two testicles."

Ji Yanyan drawled out an "Oh," and said with relief, "Then brother can rest assured, you also have two eggs."

Hearing this conversation made Ji Zhi Qiu's temples throb with anger, and he quickly stopped her, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.

[My goodness, this is amazing! They even have a genetic disease like this!]

[I'm laughing so hard I could die! Yan Yan pulled up her pants without the slightest hesitation.]

[I almost exposed myself in front of everyone. I've already taken a screenshot. I'll show it to Yan Yan when he grows up; this will definitely be an embarrassing moment.]

[Just arrived, what are they talking about eggs? Are they dividing up chicken eggs? *doge emoji*]

Ji Zhi Qiu didn't take it to heart.

This genetic disease does not harm health, and since sterilization is necessary in the end anyway, it doesn't make a difference whether you have one or two.

Despite thinking that way, when feeding the cats, Ji Zhi Qiu felt sorry for them and poured out more freeze-dried food.

He was grooming the mother cat, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It's not your fault, it's his fault. We really can't go on like this."

He scratched his cat son's itch again, saying, "Rongrong, don't worry about it. Whether you have it or not, you are a real man. You have to take good care of your mother and sister in the future."

Rongrong looked up at him with clear, bright eyes, and meowed softly, as if in response.

Just as Ji Zhi Qiu was about to feel relieved, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

He could actually sense intelligence from the cat's face; wasn't it supposed to be dull-witted before?

Ji Zhi Qiu sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully examining the cat, not missing a single detail.

Its physique, appearance, and markings are exactly the same as before, but why does it look like a completely different cat after just one day?

Thinking this, Ji Zhi Qiu couldn't help but reach out his wicked hand, quickly and accurately finding his target and pinching it twice.

His expression immediately changed. He looked at the cat in surprise, then turned to call Ji Yanyan: "Yanyan, did you go out today?"

Ji Yanyan nodded: "I'm going out. Zhuangzhuang came to play with me."

Ji Zhi Qiu then asked, "Did you close the door quickly?"

Ji Yanyan puffed out her cheeks and thought hard for a long time. "Dad, I don't remember."

Did you see Rongrong when you went out?

This time, Ji Yanyan gave an affirmative answer, "Rongrong ran to my feet. I can see him when I look down, but he didn't run around. He's very well-behaved."

Seeing that her eldest son was still praising the cat without a care in the world, Ji Zhi Qiu couldn't help but laugh. "Go and call your two older brothers. We're going to see a movie tonight."

Since this was a fixed time for interaction, Ji Zishen and Ji Sicheng did not resist. Instead, they found a comfortable spot on the sofa and sat obediently, while Ji Yanyan climbed into Ji Zhiqi's lap and watched the movie with her father.

The movie is two hours long, with a humorous and easy-to-understand plot; all three kids understood it.

After the movie ended, Ji Zhi Qiu turned off the TV and asked, "Can someone summarize the plot of the movie for me?"

Ji Sicheng and Ji Zishen both thought it was too childish and pretended not to hear it, while Ji Yanyan responded enthusiastically, "I know!"

Ji Zhi Qiu coughed, playing along, "Then let's have little Yan Yan answer."

The two sisters looked exactly alike and had never met. One lived with their father, and the other with their mother. Then they had a great idea: I'll be the younger sister, and you'll be the older sister, and so on…

This passage was too long, and Ji Yanyan didn't know how to breathe properly, so she was panting heavily and almost couldn't catch her breath.

Ji Sicheng, impatient, took over the conversation, "They switch identities and get along with a father or mother they've never met before, and then they want to help their parents clear up misunderstandings and get back together."

Ji Zhi Qiu nodded, picked up Rong Rong and put her on the sofa. Rong Rong immediately showed her belly in a coquettish manner.

Ji Zhi Qiu waved to his three sons, and the four of them surrounded Rong Rong, their four wicked hands lingering on her soft belly and continuing to move downwards.

Viewers in the live stream gradually became visibly uncomfortable upon seeing this.

One cat, four people, eight hands—how perverted!

[Just petting a cat, why is the scene getting increasingly lewd?!]

[The Cat Association has responded urgently. Little kitty, blink if you've been kidnapped.]

[Hahaha, how could you treat a kitten like that? One egg, four pieces!]

[Help! Dads, don't make your son do weird things!]

Ji Zishen felt the same way and looked at Ji Zhiqi meaningfully, "So what exactly is this all about?"

Ji Zhi Qiu wore a cryptic expression, while Ji Si Cheng frowned, suddenly realizing something. "Wait, the position is wrong!"

He picked up the cat's medical report again and checked it three times, his expression showing a hint of disbelief. "There was yolk on the left and eggshell on the right, how come it's reversed now?"

Ji Zhi Qiu looked at his smartest son with a gratified gaze, "Think about the movie we just watched."

Ji Yanyan scratched her head. "There are no cats in the movie, Dad. What does that have to do with anything?"

Ji Zhi Qiu: "..."

Ji Zishen was the first to realize what was going on, looking at the mother cat in surprise, "So there are actually three kittens, and one is outside?"

When Ji Zhi Qiu and Cat Dad were doing something improper behind the cat's back, an orange cat was keeping watch. At the time, he felt that it looked very familiar, but he just couldn't remember it.

Now, reminded by the genetic disease of "two eggs on each side," he realized that his mother should have given birth to two almost identical orange cats. Rongrong was adopted by his family, and the other orange cat stayed with its father. However, for some unknown reason, the two orange cats have now switched places.

The viewers in the live stream also came to their senses.

Wow, this really is a TV series!

The plot is just as captivating as a movie; it's quite a show!

[Hahahaha, I still want to laugh. What a bizarre genetic disease! They actually have to identify a cat's ancestry through its eggs.]

Only Ji Yanyan was caught off guard, so Ji Zhi Qiu had to break it down and explain it to him word by word.

Ji Yanyan's eyes lit up when she heard the last part, and she nodded repeatedly: "I understand."

Ji Zhi Qiu pinched his cheek with satisfaction. As expected of his son, he was still very smart.

Ji Yanyan was so excited that she swayed wildly, shoved her head in front of her father, and her voice almost changed: "So I also have a younger brother who looks exactly like me, and we can switch identities and meet another dad right away?!"

Ji Zhi Qiu: "..."

Ji Zhi Qiu: "..."

Ji Zhi Qiu: "..."

Wait, we're talking about cats!

Don't let your thinking wander like that!
