Lu Siyuan's naming logic was very simple: because Xiaomi was a white kitten with black stripes, he named her Huahua.
"Wait a minute, An'an, I have something else to say."
"What?"
“We’ll raise Huahua like a cow’s milk from now on, and treat those two cats very well,” Lu Siyuan said.
Lu Si'an nodded; she understood what it meant.
There are also families in the compound with more than two children, but they are often treated differently at home, and it's clear that the relationship between the brothers/sisters is not as good as that between Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an.
Because in the Qiao family, there has never been any favoritism.
All the family members treat Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an the same way: whatever Xiaoyuan has, An'an will definitely have too.
The problems that exist between other siblings never existed between them.
Now that we have two cats at home, it's like having two children; they deserve the same treatment.
“Of course, we will treat Milk and Flower very well, but... we can’t take Flower out to play, can we?” Lu Si’an suddenly thought of this question.
At first, no one had actually discussed it.
But after all, Hua Hua was taken from Liu Shengrui by Su Yueya, and Liu Shengrui had even brought Hua Hua into the compound a few times. If they were to take Hua Hua out to play without permission, they would definitely be recognized.
If even one person knows, it means Liu Shengrui will definitely know.
That would be terrible!
“Yes! We absolutely cannot take Hua Hua out, especially not if the bad guys find out!” Lu Siyuan said.
The two little ones chatted for a while, and then, as usual, quietly fell asleep.
Su Yueya and the others also realized this problem.
At least when playing in the courtyard, Huahua absolutely cannot show herself easily.
Currently, Huahua is being kept in the space.
The space is extremely large; apart from the buildings that are visible, the edges are boundless and endless.
At first, when the Qiao family first arrived, they had the idea of exploring, but later they found that there was no end in sight, so they gradually lost their desire to explore.
But kittens don't give up easily.
Especially now that the two kittens are together, they have each other for company, so it's common for them to run around wildly in the space.
Hua Hua isn't close to the Qiao family yet; she's always clinging to Milk.
"Meow--"
"Meow—"
"Meow--"
"Brother, what are they saying?" Lu Si'an asked curiously.
“I don’t understand either,” Lu Siyuan shook his head.
Then, in the next second, the two kittens chased each other's tails, running further and further away until they gradually disappeared from Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an's sight.
Where did they go?
"I don't know, but anyway, they're in the space," Lu Siyuan said. That way, there's no need to worry; they can just play by themselves.
But it's not good to not see Milk and Flower all the time, especially since Flower has an injury and needs to have her dressing changed.
So the whole family mobilized and searched the area for the cat.
This went on several times and was quite troublesome, since the space was just too big. Even the good-tempered Su Yueya felt that she should think of a solution.
"With such a large space, finding the cat is really a hassle," Qiao Gaoyang complained. Every time, they put in the effort but couldn't find the cat. By the time they finally found it, they were already anxious, while the two cats were quite carefree. How could he not be angry?
"But I don't seem to be able to control how the space gets bigger or smaller—"
As she spoke, Su Yueya's voice gradually lowered.
"What's wrong?" the family members asked.
Although they complained that searching for the cat was tiring, they weren't really disgusted by it; it was more of a sweet burden.
But Su Yueya's unexpected attempt, which sparked the idea of finding the kitten in her mind, actually elicited a response.
It's like being in a library. If she wants a certain book, she just has to think about it, and the space will point her to a path that leads her straight to the book she's looking for.
The same thing happened at this moment. As soon as Su Yueya had the idea of looking for the kitten, a clear route appeared in her mind, pointing to the kitten's hiding place.
"I understand. Everyone, you don't need to bother looking anymore. Follow me." With that, Su Yueya led everyone to the kitten in no time, following the route in her mind.
"Amazing!" Qiao Xinruo exclaimed.
Qiao Hanxue reacted quickly and immediately asked, "Crescent Moon, is it based on the same principle as finding a book in a library?"
“Yes!” Su Yueya nodded excitedly.
This unexpected discovery is incredibly useful; it at least solves Hua Hua's current habit of hiding. Considering how hard the whole family has been searching for the cat these past few days, they are finally relieved.
"Little thing, I found you, didn't I? It's really hard to change your dressing!" With that, Su Yueya reached out and lifted the kitten up by the scruff of its neck.
"Meow—meow—"
Hua Hua struggled and cried out, but the cries were completely different from when it first entered the space, or even when it was in the Liu family's house.
It didn't seem like it was afraid; it was more like it was throwing a tantrum, deliberately acting fierce and trying to resist. In reality, it wouldn't use its little paws to scratch Su Yueya.
Because kittens can sense it.
How the people around us treat them, what they do, whether they care for them or don't take them seriously, can all be perceived.
As she spent more time in the space, and of course, thanks in part to Milk, Hua Hua gradually let down her guard against this family and began to try to be like Milk, a cat that was loved and cared for, and to become a new member of the Qiao family.
"Come here," Su Yueya beckoned, and Huahua rubbed against her. Looking at the kitten, who was different from before, she felt a great sense of accomplishment. "She's not hiding anymore. She's finally being open and natural."
Hua Hua understood Su Yueya's words, meowing affectionately while rubbing against Su Yueya's palm.
It's so cute; it often rubs the back of its neck against Su Yueya's hand.
At first, Su Yueya didn't quite understand what it meant.
"Isn't it normal to rub your head against someone? Why are you always rubbing the back of your neck against me? What do you want me to do? Do you want me to tickle you?" Su Yueya asked.
"Meow—"
Of course, humans and cats can't really communicate, so Su Yueya could only guess.
As a result of a series of accidental events, when Hua Hua rubbed against Su Yueya with the back of her neck, she lifted Hua Hua by the back of her neck, and Hua Hua suddenly started meowing very happily, meowing incessantly.
Su Yueya: "..."
"So, you want me to grab you by the back of the neck?" Su Yueya was both amused and exasperated, and after a long pause, she managed to stammer, "What kind of hobby is that?"
Despite their initial dislike, the whole family dotes on Huahua.
Doesn't he like being grabbed by the back of the neck and played with? Well, everyone has to grant his wish!
So, when playing with the kitten, everyone would pet Milk and scratch its itch, but they would hold Flower by the scruff of its neck and let it thrash around on its own. It had more fun than anyone else.
