Chapter 23 Meow... So tired
【Is it Zhong Suisui?】
"What's wrong? May you have peace and safety every year? Don't you like it?"
Zhong Wan, in a rare moment of inspiration, gave it a name, without considering its preferences.
After realizing this, she quickly said, "Then why don't you take one yourself?"
But to my surprise, I still didn't receive a response.
Zhong Wan frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Don't you want your own name? Or do you want to be called 'System' from now on?"
[...]
[Ding! The ultimate version of the "Painting Ghosts System" in the Namiya General Store, the "Obsession Elimination System," has been officially renamed.]
【Name: Zhong Suisui】
[Upload?]
【yes】
A series of mechanical sounds echoed in Zhong Wan's mind, and upon hearing them, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
After the voice in her head stopped, the kitten in her drawing seemed to come alive.
On the drawing paper, its body trembled slightly, and its wide, curious eyes were full of interest.
Zhong Suisui tentatively extended her paw, and upon seeing that it had truly escaped the drawing paper, her eyes instantly filled with excitement.
[Meow~] Thank you, host, for granting me a cat's life!
The soft meows automatically translated into this sentence in her ears.
Zhong Wan was taken aback, then burst out laughing the next second.
"No need to thank me, from now on we'll depend on each other."
[Meow~] Okay, no problem!
Looking at Zhong Suisui's wobbly little body and its palm-sized form, Zhong Wan curiously reached out a hand and gently tapped its little head.
"Huh, it's cold?"
[Meow?] What's wrong?
Zhong Suisui, her eyes full of confusion, squatted on the drawing paper, tilting her little head slightly as she looked at Zhong Wan and asked curiously, "Should I have a temperature?"
Zhong Wan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether I have it or not."
Well, although she didn't know if it counted as a ghost or spirit, as she said, what did it matter?
However, Zhong Wan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can you come out during the day?"
Zhong Suisui thought for a moment after hearing this, then shook her head hesitantly. "It probably won't work, right?"
However, the general store's location is special; I can come out both day and night. Outside the general store, I should be able to come out near you or your man.
Zhong Wan understood: "Others can see you too?"
[Look at you, you are my host, you can do whatever you want.]
Zhong Wan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Look at me?"
Yes, your pen moves as you draw. What are you thinking when you draw?
Zhong Wan was dumbfounded: "I didn't think of anything."
"Will we still be able to see it?"
[...]
【have no idea……】
One of them stared blankly at the other, dumbfounded.
"Meow!" Stupid!
Seeing this, Hua Hua exclaimed in disbelief.
"Meow!" Chun!
The kitten imitated its mother, tilting its head back and meowing. After meowing, it turned around and became even more excited when it saw the small white kitten that had suddenly appeared, seemingly smaller than itself.
It wobbled to its feet, wagging its tail happily.
Some of them eagerly circled the edge of the dashboard, even tentatively reaching out their paws to grab it.
Realizing it couldn't reach it, it quickly turned back and ran to its mother's side, rubbing against her and meowing.
It barked twice at Huahua, then turned and ran to the edge of the dashboard, howling loudly.
Zhong Wan watched it struggle around for a while, and just as it was about to repeat the process, Hua Hua pinned it down with a paw.
"Meow!" Behave yourself!
"Meow~" Mom~
The little dog was dumbfounded. Its entire small body was firmly pressed down by its mother's paw, yet it still struggled with its four paws. Realizing that resistance was hopeless, its paws slumped weakly onto the dashboard, and its tail drooped.
Only those big, watery cat eyes were still looking at Zhong Suisui with great interest.
Seeing this, Zhong Wan smiled and handed Zhong Suisui over: "Don't worry, Huahua, let the little one play with Suisui for a while."
Meow~
Hua Hua gave her a cold glance, released her paw, turned her head back to look at the store, and then vanished in a flash.
This time, it was Zhong Wan's turn to be dumbfounded. She quickly straightened up and looked around. Finally, after seeing the phantom at the store entrance, she turned around and called out to it before walking into the store and letting out a sigh of relief.
"Phew, that scared me to death."
She relaxed, patted her chest, looked at the two little ones playing happily, and a smile returned to her face.
Zhong Wan reached out and gently poked the baby's head, saying with a smile, "Your mother really trusts us."
Meow~ Okay~
Looking at its adorable little face, Zhong Wan's smile deepened.
"Yes, yes, I know I'm good."
【(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~】
"Why are you cutting this?"
Zhong Wan effortlessly poked Zhong Suisui with one finger and said arrogantly, "Let me tell you, I gave you your life."
At this point, Zhong Wan paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh and continued, "If that's the case, you should still call me Mom."
"Otherwise, how would you have the chance to see this beautiful world?"
"Quick, give it a shout!"
Zhong Suisui rolled her eyes speechlessly upon hearing this, and silently got up, turning her back to Zhong Wan.
"Haha, are you shy?"
As soon as Zhong Wan finished speaking, she saw the baby let out a howl, stand on its two hind legs, stick out its chubby little belly, and stretch out its two front paws to pounce on Zhong Sui Sui.
The moment the howl subsided, the kitten pounced on Zhong Suisui, pinning her firmly beneath it.
"Meow!" Mom!
[Meow!] I'm not your mother!
Zhong Suisui cried out in embarrassment and anger, her body instantly transforming into a streak of gray-black light, heading straight for Zhong Wan's shoulder.
Zhong Wan's smile froze, and she quickly turned to look.
Looking at Zhong Suisui, who was sitting obediently on his shoulder, he said with some surprise, "Wow, Zhong Suisui, you're pretty amazing!"
That is.
Zhong Suisui's round cat eyes curved slightly, her chin tilted back haughtily, and she said smugly, "Don't you even know who I am!"
"hehe."
Zhong Wan twitched her lips upon hearing this, but ignored it.
But her hand genuinely stroked its chin, watching Zhong Suisui tilt its kitten face up, its eyes slightly narrowed, looking completely blissful.
Looking at the anxious little cat face of the baby pacing back and forth, Zhong Wan chuckled and unceremoniously handed Zhong Suisui over again: "Go ahead and play with the baby."
Meow... I'm so tired.
Zhong Wan watched the two kittens playing for a while, then looked at Hua Hua, who was still inside the store.
Only then did she pick up her phone and start playing with it.
In my excitement, I didn't forget to take a picture of the kittens with my phone.
But looking at the empty space in the photo, and then at the two blurry images on the dashboard,
Zhong Wan pursed her lips, looking somewhat disappointed.
"Sui Sui, why can't the camera capture you?"
Because we're not human.
Well, that's quite a plausible reason.
But it's not a big problem for her.
If a camera can only capture the outline of the world, then her eyes can capture the warmth of the soul.
Where eyes meet, even silence becomes a warm conversation.
The true temperature is never found on cold sensors.
Rather, it is in her eyes, in her writing.
Zhong Wan suddenly felt a sense of relief, relieved that she at least had some basic drawing skills and that she could still pick up a paintbrush and paint this warmth.
