Chapter 74
"Dear Mr. Xiang:"
"I married you when I was 22, and now I'm 78, and we've lived happily together for 56 years.
I feel like I don't have much time left, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to speak by then, so I'm writing down what I want to say. Hehe."
Seeing this, Xiang Yu's eyes became moist again and tears flowed down.
He continued to watch.
"I obviously have so much to say, but when it comes to writing it down, I don't know where to start. Let's talk about us He He first. You know, the thing I'm most worried about is you and He He.
I wish you to live a long life, take good care of her, and stay with her for a few more years.
I don't need you to take care of me over there, and you don't need to stay with me.
Of course I know you miss me, and I miss you too. I can change into any shape and form, and stay with you anytime and anywhere. Don’t miss me too much!
I'll stop here for now, I feel a little uncomfortable, I'm going to lie down for a while."
Chi Yunyi doesn't like writing, preferring to write one character at a time. But this time, it was different, as she wrote every stroke carefully.
Xiang Yu turned to the next page.
“Here I am again, haha.
Today, while I was outside in the sun, a few kittens came over to keep me company. One of them even jumped on me. I immediately thought, if I'm gone, it would be nice for you to have a kitten too.
I really want to become that kitten and continue to accompany you.
Don't read too much, haha. I said I'd read one page a week, so you've read too much again?"
This can all be discovered.
Xiang Yu took off his reading glasses and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
The traces of time have made him look more mature. Now he is over 80 years old. He is a widower who has lost his wife, a father, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather.
All the company's affairs have been handed over to his children. When Xiang Yu was old, he and his wife lived a retired life. However, Chi Yunyi didn't like to exercise much when she was young, and as she got older, various health problems arose.
Last month, he passed away, leaving behind a thick box for Xiang Yu, which was filled with envelopes, more than 500 letters in total.
Chi Yunyi even calculated the number of envelopes.
Reading one letter every week would make Xiang Yu live to be a hundred years old.
After finishing this week's volume, Xiang Yu went to the lakeside to bask in the sun with the help of his crutches.
He moved out of the villa where he originally lived and came to his daughter's house to live with He He's family.
Xiang Yuchi has a son and a daughter. At the age of fifty, he still practices martial arts and plays ball every day. He is as energetic as an athlete.
But she was a chatterbox, just like Chi Yunyi, who loved to chatter non-stop. Xiang Yu was getting overwhelmed. With his daughter at work, Xiang Yu had some free time. He planned to go sit by the lake today.
It's spring now. The willow trees by the lake are sprouting, the grass is turning green, and the temperature is just right, making it a good time to go out.
Xiang Yu was in a very calm mood at the moment, as he was waiting for something for a long time.
A kitten appeared on the roadside. It was dirty all over, and I wondered if it had never been bathed since it was born. It was looking around for something.
This seems to have become the norm.
A sudden movement attracted Xiang Yu's attention.
It was a tiny calico cat with legs so short that when it walked, its belly stayed close to the ground and its butt wiggled. Its eyes were large and bright.
It walked straight to Xiang Yu and greeted him, "Meow? Meow!"
Xiang Yu suddenly remembered the contents of Chi Yunyi's letter. He had just read it this morning.
"If I'm gone, it would be nice for you to have a kitten.
I really want to become that kitten and continue to accompany you."
The little calico cat came over and excitedly wanted to climb onto Xiang Yu's body. It was surprisingly not afraid of strangers at all.
"I'll call you, and if you agree, I'll take you home."
The little calico cat stared at him with its big eyes.
"Mimi?"
"……Meow."
Let me answer you first, but actually my name is Yi Yi.
"Yiyi?"
The kitten's eyes lit up, "Meow."
Xiang Yu called out again uncertainly, "Yi Yi?"
"Meow, meow, meow."
"Is that you?"
"Meow!"
It’s me!
After Chi Yunyi passed away, she opened her eyes again and found herself in the body of a kitten. Barely a month old, she couldn't wait to leave her mother and try every possible means to find Xiang Yu. After unremitting efforts, she finally found out the location of Xiang Yu's family from the nearby cats.
She searched everywhere and was almost kidnapped by a cat lover because of her beauty.
Fortunately, she finally found it.
Chi Yunyi wanted to say to Xiang Yu:
While you are thinking about me, I am actually looking for you too.
I'm afraid you're lonely, so I'm galloping and trying every possible way to be by your side.
You are going to ask me why again.
because I love you.
She meowed to express her longing for him, but Xiang Yu didn't understand a word she said.
Xiang Yu picked up a piece of dogtail grass to tease the cat.
Chi Yunyi cooperated with Xiang Yu. It was the first time she felt that dogtail grass was so interesting.
Although Xiang Yu had become a wrinkled old man, he was still a towering 1.80 meters tall. In the kitten's view, he looked enormous. He was thinner than before, and his eyes were empty and dim, a dead silence.
Although he is not a person with many emotions, at least there is always light in his eyes.
Chi Yunyi moved closer and rubbed her pink nose against Xiang Yu's hand, but he dodged.
"?"
The light green grass was soft underfoot, and the scent of green grass surrounded her nose. Chi Yunyi rolled on the ground, turning over to expose her belly.
Before, every time she sunbathed her belly in the sun, Xiang Yu would come over and touch it.
Xiang Yu refused to touch it, "The ground is dirty, don't roll around."
He made a phone call, and soon someone drove over. Chi Yunyi was put into a cat box, and they went to the pet hospital.
The doctor checked and said, "The kitten is healthy, just a little dirty. It's best to give it a bath."
“…” This was the first time that Chi Yunyi was told that she was dirty.
The beautiful young lady wanted to take her to take a bath, but Chi Yunyi couldn't stand being ravaged and scrubbed by others, so she wanted Xiang Yu to wash her.
She deliberately bared her teeth and breathed out to scare the young lady away, and by the way, she was fierce to the doctor. Chi Yunyi felt that she was already very impressive, but the young lady was very brave and not afraid at all. She even smiled and called her: "Mimi, let's go, let's go take a shower."
“…”
Xiang Yu did not walk far away, but stood not far away, watching with his own eyes her body being soaked, covered in foam, and being rubbed skillfully and mercilessly.
The young lady washed very carefully, even washing the buttocks and skin.
She can't stand it anymore.
It’s really...
The ordeal finally ended, and Xiang Yu personally took the kitten and held it in his arms. Chi Yunyi, resentful that Xiang Yu had handed her over to the little sister and made her endure such an embarrassing ordeal, turned over, grabbed Xiang Yu's hand with all four paws, and bit him with all her might.
The little baby teeth sank into the skin like dead branches, leaving two sharp tooth marks.
Chi Yunyi loosened his mouth.
What do you think? Are you scared?
Xiang Yu looked at her intently and gently tickled her belly.
Back at the villa, Xiang Yu had already had cat litter and other supplies ready. She was only a month old, and her stomach was delicate, so she could only eat some formula milk specially formulated for kittens.
The warm milk flowed into her stomach, warming her whole body. Chi Yunyi forced herself to look at Xiang Yu in a good light.
After being fed some, she still wanted to drink, but Xiang Yu took the bottle away with a very tough attitude. Chi Yunyi could only watch the bottle getting farther and farther away from her. "Meow!" she cried out.
Give me the milk!
"Are you full?"
"Meow!"
Do I look full?
"Okay, after we're done eating we'll go to bed."
"Meow!"
I can’t sleep if I don’t eat enough!
Xiang Yu and the cat lay down on the bed. Chi Yunyi didn't want to sleep, and she played with her tail with her four little paws. Xiang Yu gently touched her body with his fingertips. This kind of embrace seemed to have some magic. She felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep in Xiang Yu's arms.
Xiang Yu slept an unusually long nap, waking up just before Xiang Yuchi returned home. Chi Yunyi, awoke by hunger, rubbed her head against Xiang Yu's and patted his face with her paws. In the end, her efforts were in vain, and she sighed, lying on Xiang Yu's face, feeling hopeless.
Why is he sleeping so long now? He seemed quite energetic before.
"Dad, Dadber..."
This is Xiang Yuchi.
"Meow~"
He He, your mom is here!
"There's actually a kitten." Seeing Xiang Yu still sleeping, Xiang Yuchi leaned over and called softly, "Dad, wake up! You're still sleeping! The sun is about to set."
Xiang Yu slowly opened his eyes and woke up. His mind was still hazy, and he needed time to react. He recognized the person and said, "You're back early today."
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"It's all right. I don't have anything I want to eat. It's up to you guys."
"There's a new kitten at home."
"Yeah, I just picked it up this afternoon."
“It’s quite nice.”
Chi Yunyi sat elegantly, "Meow."
As expected of her daughter, she always speaks so nicely.
Xiang Yuchi picked up the cat with both hands. Chi Yunyi hadn't seen her daughter for a month, so she moved closer and rubbed her scent on him.
He called out very gently and reluctantly, "Meow."
I am a mother.
Xiang Yuchi felt that she was a heartthrob. Even the little cat she met for the first time liked her.
"Dad, Beibei is coming to our house for dinner tonight. She should be here soon."
Beibei is the daughter of Xiang Yuchi's daughter.
That is, the great-granddaughter of Xiang Yu and Chi Yunyi.
"good."
Soon, the house became lively. Chi Yunyi was the first to eat her fill after being fed by Xiang Yu. She could only drink milk and could not eat any of the delicacies on the table. She watched Xiang Yu eat pitifully, but Xiang Yu did not give her any.
"Dad, eat this and drink another bowl of soup. You've lost a lot of weight." Xiang Yuchi picked up some food frequently.
"I don't have much of an appetite."
"You don't like these dishes? That shouldn't be the case. These are all your favorites. It's okay, Dad. Let's try other dishes tomorrow. I'm sure there will be something you like."
Xiang Yu nodded.
Chi Yunyi: If you don’t want to eat it, give it to me.
In order to get Xiang Yu to eat more, Xiang Yuchi searched for chefs all over the world, inviting all the delicious chefs to his home and hiring them with high salaries. However, he was unable to get Xiang Yu to eat more, and could only watch him get thinner day by day.
After dinner, Beibei liked the kitten very much. She was only two years old, but she kept saying "Mimi".
"Mimi!"
Chi Yunyi tried her best to be kind and gentle, "Meow~"
Kid, I am your great-grandmother, not Mimi.
"Mimi?"
"Meow."
It’s my great-grandmother.
"Meow..."
"Meow!"
It’s my great-grandmother! I’m your great-grandmother!
As a human, Chi Yunyi had no patience for children, and even after becoming a cat, she still had no patience. Not even with her offspring!
Chi Yunyi was fed up with the kids and looked around for Xiang Yu.
When he got older, he didn't like crowded places or the hustle and bustle. He liked to be alone and reminisce about the past.
There is a good saying.
Young people live in the present, while old people live in the past. They use their remaining life to cherish the wonderful moments that have appeared in this life.
Xiang Yu was looking through Chi Yunyi's previous vlog.
Chi Yunyi walked over and rubbed Xiang Yu's trouser leg, asking him to hold her and watch together.
The pad is full of video vlogs of Chi Yunyi during his lifetime, from the age of 15 to 78.
She lay comfortably in Xiang Yu's arms, looking at herself magnified several times on the pad. Her cat face was less than one-third of the pad, and the beautiful girl on the screen also became taller.
After watching for a while, Chi Yunyi felt something hit her head. She looked up and saw a pair of red eyes under her reading glasses reflecting the blue light of the screen. It was Xiang Yu dropping little pearls.
"Meow……"
I didn't cry, why are you crying again? I'm right here with you, don't cry, don't cry. I'm so heartbroken!!
Xiang Yu took out the letters written to him by Chi Yunyi from the drawer and read them one by one.
“Meow, meow, meow!”
Didn’t we agree to publish one post a week? How can you have read them all? You can’t read anymore!
Chi Yunyi stepped on the letter paper with her four paws and used her body to block the words on the paper.
"Yiyi, I miss you so much."
Chi Yunyi stopped and looked at him face to face.
I miss you as well.
I'm right here with you.
I can live another 20 years and spend my whole life with you, and help you live to be a hundred years old.
Xiang Yu picked up his pen and wrote on the paper:
"Yiyi, are you okay over there?
I have a cat and I am doing what you said."
Xiang Yu cried as he wrote.
"I will live a long life, don't worry."
The writing burned into bright, leaping flames and turned to ash.
In this way, send it to someone far away.
Xiang Yu also spent the rest of his life writing letter after letter, which would never receive a reply.
