So the brother and sister held hands, generously gave up their toys, and went to find the two kittens.
The three people: "..."
"What did Xiao Yuan just say?" Qiao Xinruo asked incredulously.
“Your eldest nephew just said that you look like you’re only one year old,” Meng Yingxin said kindly, helping her recall.
“Your son has gone mad,” Qiao Xinruo said to Su Yueya.
"No, isn't it enough that we have something to play with?" Su Yueya quickly accepted the reality. "Besides, we were the ones fighting over the toys, so what? So what if I'm a year old?"
Qiao Xinruo nodded, feeling that her sister's confident stance at this moment made a lot of sense.
"You're right!" Qiao Xinruo gave a thumbs up, then lowered her head to continue arranging her final dish for the competition, declaring confidently, "I will definitely be the final winner!"
"It's me, humph!"
"Impossible! I will defeat both of you!"
The three continued to immerse themselves in the world of the mini kitchen.
Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an went to play with Milk and Flower.
"Milk, Flower, come and drink some water!" Lu Si'an called out, filling their little bowls with spiritual spring water.
My mother said that the spring water is very good for your health and you should drink more of it.
Therefore, they would occasionally use the spring water when feeding the two kittens.
"Come quickly!" Lu Siyuan shouted.
Two kittens came running at the sound. After all, the allure of the Spirit Spring was great. They didn't know what the Spirit Spring was, but they knew that this water tasted sweeter than other water.
The two kittens each gathered around their own little bowls and licked the water to drink.
"Brother, look, they're so cute!" Lu Si'an is charmed by these two kittens every day, and she thinks everything they do is adorable.
"As expected of our little kitten!" Lu Siyuan nodded in agreement.
As Lu Siyuan stared at the two kittens, he suddenly noticed that Milk was a little dirty, probably from running and jumping around somewhere and getting dirty.
This is how we get work done!
"An'an, I know what we're going to do. Shall we give Milk and Flower a bath? Look, Milk is all dirty!" Lu Siyuan pointed to the dirty spots on Milk's body.
“Yes, the milk is dirty, so let’s give it a bath!” Lu Si’an said.
It's decided then and there.
The two poor kittens, unaware of what was about to happen, innocently drank their water.
The brother and sister had already started preparing for their bath.
First, the siblings worked together to bring over a basin. Although it wasn't very big, it was enough to accommodate the two kittens, allowing them to move around freely inside.
Next, Su Yueya bought special shampoo for the cat from the small shop. Her mother had said that the things used for kittens are different from what they use for adults and cannot be mixed; they must be special to kittens.
Then there are the most basic items such as towels, cotton balls, combs, and cat toys.
After filling a basin with warm water, the brother and sister each held a kitten and placed them into the basin.
"Meow--"
"Meow—meow—"
Milk and Flower shouted almost in unison and struggled incessantly.
What? Take a bath?
Run!
However, it was too late. Before they could react, the siblings had ruthlessly put them into a basin full of water, soaking their fur and turning them into two truly drenched cats!
"Meow--"
How pitiful! Even its cries seemed to carry a faint sense of misery and helplessness...
Are we just going to accept reality like this?
No!
A cat's life is about resistance!
Milk and Flower struggled, causing Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an's clothes to get quite wet.
But they were very persistent, especially since the kitten was already wet and there was no time to back out, so they might as well take this opportunity to give it a good wash.
"An'an, let's hurry up," Lu Siyuan reminded her.
“Okay!” Lu Si’an agreed.
Crush a cotton ball into a small ball and stuff it into the cat's ear to prevent water from getting in and further irritating it. Comb their fur, then apply a special shampoo and gently rub the fur to create lather. Be sure to avoid the eyes, nose, and mouth. Start washing from the neck and gradually work your way down, finally reaching the limbs and tail.
Rinse the cat thoroughly with warm water to remove the foam, making sure it's clean. At the same time, press down on the cat's fur with your hands to drain most of the water.
As for the head, just wipe it gently with a damp towel.
Finally, wrap the kitten in a very large towel and gently press it to ensure that most of the moisture is absorbed by the towel.
Su Yueya also bought a small hair dryer specifically for drying Mao Mao's fur from the small shop. It can only deliver a low-power airflow so as not to burn the kitten.
"Alright, you two stop messing around. Blow off your fur and we can continue playing, okay?" Seeing Milk and Flower struggling so much, Lu Si'an felt a little regretful and also a little sorry for them.
But there's really no way around it; the milk gets dirty somewhere, so I have to wash it every morning and evening.
If we only wash Milk Cat, Flower Cat will definitely be unhappy, so we might as well wash both of them now.
“Yes, look how fragrant you both are now, you’re such pretty kittens!” Lu Siyuan coaxed the two kittens.
But the two kittens didn't buy it at all.
The sudden bathing incident has left them both feeling lingering fear and trepidation.
But the wet fur couldn't be left untreated, otherwise it could make Milk and Flower sick, which the siblings absolutely didn't want to see. So even though they struggled a lot, they had to be dried first.
"Sweetie, stop fooling around. I promise I'll blow it right away."
The brother and sister worked together, one holding the cat to prevent it from running away, and the other quickly using a hairdryer to dry the kitten's fur. Working together in this tacit way, they dried both kittens as quickly as possible.
Milk and Flower, who had just experienced a terrifying bath battle, had absolutely no desire to see the brother and sister.
"Meow--"
"Meow—meow—"
As soon as the two kittens were free, they ran away as fast as they could, as if Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an were some kind of terrifying creature, hiding as far away as possible.
"Brother, do Milk and Flower not like me anymore?" Lu Si'an pouted, and her big eyes immediately welled up with tears, as if she was about to cry.
Lu Siyuan was also worried, but seeing his sister upset, he had to be strong. After all, the responsibility of comforting his sister and the kitten was on his shoulders; he was their last hope!
"Don't be sad, An'an. Milk and Flower were just scared. They know how much we love them, so how could they not love us? Let's go comfort them now!"
