Jiu Yunchi said, "Jiu Maomao, I know you heard me! Are you three years old? Trying to play these little tricks on me."
Cat then looked at Jiu Yunchi and said speechlessly, "Jiu Yunchi, why do you care so much about me? You might as well ignore me, just like you did at the beginning!"
Jiu Yunchi fell silent. When his face was expressionless, it was like a frozen wasteland, as if it would never melt.
Cat pouted and stared down at her feet, refusing to look at Jiu Yunchi.
Finally, it was Jiu Yunchi who broke the silence, "Jiu Maomao, do you even consider me family?"
The cat looked up and unexpectedly met Jiu Yunchi's eyes. His eyes were filled with confidence, a look that only a strong person could have. He always dared to look anyone and anything in the eye. If it were a business confrontation, just face to face, Jiu Yunchi would win.
Cat isn't afraid of Jiu Yunchi; she's one of the few people who dares to look him in the eye.
So, it was probably when Jiu Yunchi first met Maomao that he knew her younger sister had been replaced.
However, Jiu Yunchi tacitly accepted this change and acknowledged that they were a family because of his approval of Jiu Maomao. But if this approval wasn't mutual... Jiu Yunchi didn't even know what to do.
Jiu Yunchi was incredibly intelligent; he could easily see that, in Maomao's eyes, the entire Jiu family combined was no match for Mu Jin.
And he impulsively brought it up! In Jiu Yunchi's view, asking for an answer in such a hurry was the worst thing he could do. He could have let Jiu Maomao fully adapt to the Jiu family, but he was in a hurry.
"Jiu Yunchi, what do you mean by 'family'?" Cat didn't react much, just asked calmly.
Jiu Yunchi said, "Being a family means that when you have something you can't handle, you can turn around and leave it to me. When you feel that the world is annoying, you can hide behind us, grow some vegetables, play your single-player games, or watch SpongeBob SquarePants."
As long as your family is still alive, you can be unreasonable and stay a three-year-old forever.
"That sounds so easy." Cat wiggled her toes. "But you don't like Jiu Xintian like that."
Jiu Yunchi said, "I am Jiu Xintian's older brother. I have never shortchanged her by a single penny, and I have helped her clean up her messes many times. However, emotionally, she has never treated me as her older brother. The reason I want to take the initiative to care about someone is because of you."
Jiu Xintian's connection with the Jiu family is over; I owe her nothing. But as for you, I still want to take care of you. What do you have to be afraid of?
The cat looked out the window again, even though it was completely dark.
In her imagination, she only had Ah Jin.
In her past world, she had to be the most evil one to survive in hell, so she didn't know what it meant to hide.
She had never seen peace in the human world, and never knew what home felt like.
She only knew the weakness of humankind and the brevity of their lives in the cycle of reincarnation.
She completely failed to understand the significance of a mere hundred years of existence.
She even felt that whether it was Jiu Yunchi, Jiu Yebai, or Jiu Nanxun, they were all like souls passing by in a hurry, like the movies she made, leaving her world after a story ended.
And then it will never happen again.
It's all fake! Only Ah Jin is real!
"Jiu Yunchi, you have quite the nerve," the cat said slowly. "After you die, all these words will be meaningless."
Jiu Yunchi's eyes quickly darkened. "But I dare to live up to these words with my whole life, while you dare not accept this identity."
The cat remained silent for a long time, her entire life... how tragic it was, just like Ah Jin being shattered to pieces before her eyes.
The human world... is really different. Sometimes, the cat feels that she is becoming more and more like a human, and then she despises herself for it. However, it seems that she has really reserved a little place for humans in her heart. Even if she despises them, she still values them.
However, she has always deliberately ignored it.
Now that Jiu Yunchi has asked her so bluntly, she is finally examining herself for the first time, and this feeling... is not good at all!
She's been humanized!
After a while, the cat said, "I will never treat you as my older brother."
Jiu Yunchi seemed to be experiencing the taste of being hurt for the first time. If the Jiu family could go back to the way they used to get along, that would be great. Why did Jiu Maomao have to come along?
The cat looked at Jiu Yunchi and snorted, "Because you are my brother! Jiu Yunchi, even if you were born eight hundred years earlier, you would still be my brother."
Jiu Yunchi: "..."
He felt as if his injuries were fake.
This time, it was Jiu Yunchi's turn to look out the window. Life has its ups and downs, and at this moment, Jiu Yunchi was also a little confused. Why should he argue with a cat?
The curtains on the car windows were drawn, the night was deep, and the streetlights were just coming on.
The cat nudged Jiu Yunchi's clean leather shoes. "Jiu Yunchi, hurry up and call me 'sister'!"
Jiu Yunchi: "That fountain..."
The cat nudged him again, "Call me 'sister'!"
Jiu Yunchi: "Your billboard..."
The cat kicked him, saying, "If you don't meow, it means what you just said was all a lie!"
Jiu Yunchi: "...Sister."
Cat laughed and leaned over to ruffle Jiu Yunchi's meticulously styled hair. Lately, she's been taking Lu Yi out every day, so this gesture has become increasingly skillful.
"Jiu Yunchi, when we get back, we'll hold a family meeting. I'll tell you about the dramatic changes that have taken place on the island! I'll tell you how I bravely rescued the film crew, swiftly killed drug dealers, and outwitted Wu Zhen amidst a hail of bullets, working with A Jin to cover up the truth and cleverly escape when the storm finally ended!"
Jiu Yunchi: "..."
After finishing speaking, Maomao added, "Jiuyunchi, you can't keep this from Jiunanxun, otherwise, this won't be the family you claim to be."
Jiu Yunchi nodded. "Then I'll do as you say."
You agreed so quickly!
Jiu Yunchi also needs to learn how to manage this family, so that the whole family can be together in harmony.
Cat continued, "Although I'm going to discuss the island's affairs at the family meeting, I can give you a little spoiler since you're so eager to know."
Ah Jin already knows I'm not Jiu Xintian, and he also knows that the successor of the Fengmen is the Jiu family. I didn't tell him that..."
Jiu Yunchi looked at the cat, "And then?"
Cat shrugged. "That's all! Ah Jin, you have to keep this a secret."
After a short while, the car slowly came to a stop.
The cat pushed open the door; the house was dark, and it seemed no one was home.
She casually changed her shoes and went inside.
Then the living room lights suddenly turned on! With a few "bangs," several colorful ribbons flew over and landed on the cat, leaving it covered in many different colors.
Jiu Yebai and Jiu Nanxun jumped out with big smiles on their faces.
Surprise!
