With the concerted opposition of Daju and Lihua, the adoption ceremony was simplified to a dinner for the twenty-eight residents. Even the food was provided by the headquarters cafeteria. Everyone ate the meal happily, and after getting an adoption certificate, Kong Xiuwen and Daju officially became a family.
"I have a gift for you."
On the first night after moving into the new lounge, the little orange cat knocked on Kong Xiuwen's bedroom door, holding a beautifully wrapped gift box, and looked at Kong Xiuwen shyly.
This was a gift that he had prepared for several days using the vest of a tabby cat. He took advantage of Kong Xiuwen taking Daju out and finally dragged it into the lounge and hid it, just to give Kong Xiuwen a surprise.
Kong Xiuwen was indeed surprised.
He took it with both hands, and saw the little orange cat looking at him with eyes wide open and its tail wagging expectantly. He couldn't help but laugh, and carefully unwrapped it, putting the gift paper away properly, and then solemnly opened the box.
There was a large roll of fresh cat grass in the box.
Kong Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, his expression paused for a moment, and he tried to organize his words: "It's quite... well, it's quite green and lush. I like it very much. Thank you."
Daju: “…”
The little orange cat pointed at the box with a smile on his face: "The gift is wrapped in cat grass! Cat grass is a collision-proof packaging!"
...
...
He couldn't find any raffia, and there was too much cat grass in the lounge to eat it all, so he cut most of it and used it as raffia. Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood.
Wrapped in the center of the cat grass is a stunning silver-gray necklace.
At the end of the necklace, there is a small metal square plate that sparkles with tiny starlight, and there is a simple sketch of a cat engraved on it. When you rub your fingertips on the top of the cat's head, its ears will move unconsciously.
The moment Kong Xiuwen picked up the necklace, he felt the enormous energy contained in it and looked at Daju in surprise.
"This is a cat collar. It's a secret recipe that our cat demon clan doesn't pass on to others," Daju raised his head proudly, and spoke out the secret technique of the Cat God without any guilt, "Only those who are recognized by the cat are qualified to wear it."
"This necklace stores my healing ability. Even if you are out and about, it will heal you whenever you are injured. And it can also share our location!"
Kong Xiuwen's index finger gently stroked the smooth silver metal corner of the necklace.
For someone like him who holds an important position and could be killed by the superpower sect at any time, the last thing he should do is share his location information with others.
But this was the first official gift Daju had given him.
After hesitating for less than half a second, he decisively gave up all his worries, put the necklace around his neck, put it neatly into his collar, smiled with satisfaction, and reached out to rub Daju's cat ears: "Actually, I also prepared a gift for you."
Daju was excited: "Really? What?"
Evil dragon, dried stingray, spiritual liquid candy… a list of countless nutritious and delicious foods automatically arranged itself into rows in his mind, and turned into one delicious meal after another, which made the little orange cat almost drool.
Kong Xiuwen: "I have hired the best tutor in Sufang City for you. Starting tomorrow, you can learn to read."
The plate filled with the feast of spirit beast meat fell to the ground with a plop, and along with the little orange cat's heart, it broke into countless pieces.
Daju: “Huh?!”
Seeing the little orange cat resisting so much, Kong Xiuwen patiently coaxed him, "Don't worry, human writing is interesting and simple, and the knowledge the teacher teaches is what we see in daily life. Learning these can broaden your horizons and is very meaningful."
“…”
Well said. If he wasn't a miserable high school student who was bald from doing exercises every day, he would have believed it.
Daju’s face was full of rejection.
However, Kong Xiuwen never gave up. From the next day on, he insisted on telling stories to the little orange cat every night, hoping to arouse Daju's love for words.
First he told the story of the ugly duckling and the white swan. Seeing that Daju was not interested, he changed to Pinocchio, the little match girl, Tom Thumb... When he told the story of Snow White and Cinderella, Daju, who had been bombarded with fairy tales for several weeks, finally surrendered: "I agree! Please hire a tutor for me! I can read storybooks by myself in the future!"
God knows that Kong Xiuwen's story telling to him happens to coincide with Li Hua's night patrol! Some days, it will conflict with the main body's in-class exam! Whether it's writing "The evil witch cast a curse on the princess" in a Chinese composition in a daze or suddenly saying "Princess! Watch out!" while fighting with a super-powered criminal, he doesn't want to experience it again!
Kong Xiuwen was equally shocked.
He was aware that he did not rush Daju, and when he told stories every night, the kitten would nestle in his arms with its ears perked up and listen attentively, and he would adjust his choice of stories based on the cat's reactions - for example, when he told the story of the ugly duckling, Daju was drowsy, and when he told the story of the frog prince, the kitten actually got angry when he heard about the witch and the curse - but he did not expect that it was Snow White and Cinderella that finally aroused Daju's interest in learning to read!
Could it be that the innocent little orange cat also likes this kind of love story?
No matter what, it's good to arouse children's interest in literature.
After pondering the whole night, Kong Xiuwen went out in the early morning of the next day and bought a complete set of genuine Disney Princess comics in the bookstore. He walked back solemnly with the books in his arms and ran into the members of Team Nangong who were returning from their night patrol in the lobby of the headquarters.
A man in a neat windbreaker and with a solemn expression walked into the headquarters of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, which symbolizes China's highest-level super-energy system, holding a large stack of pink princess comics in his hands, which looked inharmonious no matter how you looked at it.
Tang Aibai's eyes almost popped out, and he didn't care that he was still quarreling with Kong Xiuwen, and stopped him directly: "What did you buy?"
"A book for Daju's enlightenment."
Kong Xiuwen looked at him and answered calmly.
Lihua, who was originally fighting with Penghua for the small cake, couldn't sit still anymore: "Wait, why do you want to show Daju this kind of princess comics?"
God knows how long it took him to get rid of the terrifying power of fairy tale brainwashing! If this continues, his Chinese teacher will drag him into the office and scold him for his composition!
"Because Daju likes to watch it," Kong Xiuwen frowned in disapproval when he saw them making a fuss, and was very protective. "Of course a simple and lovely happy ending story like his will like it. Is there any problem?"
When the captain of the Beigong team put on the pressure, no one dared to ask questions and they all shook their heads like rattles.
Everyone had participated in the battle to wipe out the evil cult's stronghold a while ago. Almost everyone had been injured and treated by the well-behaved Daju cat in the infirmary. After hearing Kong Xiuwen say that Daju liked princess stories, they all began to think about what gift to give him.
Even Tang Aibai took out his cell phone and started searching for Barbie dolls in puffy skirts. From time to time, he handed one or two to Staff Officer Li Hua and asked him if he knew which one his little cousin liked better.
"Even if Kong Xiuwen becomes his guardian, I can still be his favorite uncle!" Tang Aibai rubbed his hands.
Ionization: “…”
He really doesn't like the princess very much!
Help! Kong Xiuwen will not have to tell him bedtime stories every day from now on!
The author has something to say:
Oh, I've been so busy lately. I haven't done much review for the bar exam next month QAQ But when I think about how Yun Jian is busier than me, I feel much happier (not really)
