Chapter 80
After returning home and eating the lunch they hadn't finished, Pei Huai and Li Miao moved a chair out to the yard to look at the stars as the temperature dropped at night.
Pei Huai lay on the recliner, and Li Miao, who had turned back into a kitten, curled up and lay on Pei Huai's lap.
In the mountains far from the city, the night sky is exceptionally enchanting and romantic, with strings of stars twinkling one after another, and the Milky Way as beautiful as a jade ribbon.
Pei Huai took a few photos and sent them to his family and Liang Yixuan so they could enjoy them together.
Liang Yixuan: "Not bad, you're living a pretty good life."
"But why did you and Li Miao bring the cat along? Isn't it troublesome to bring a cat carrier? Where's Li Miao? I haven't seen him."
After listening to Liang Yixuan's voice message, Pei Huai looked down at Li Miao.
Li Miao also heard the voice, raised her cat head, and her pointed ears twitched slightly.
Pei Huai could only come up with a random excuse to fob Liang Yixuan off, such as it was unsafe to leave the cat at home.
"As for Li Miao, he's sleeping in his room," Pei Huai casually made up.
Liang Yixuan: "Oh, I see. I thought he would definitely enjoy the moon with you."
"Meow~" We're admiring the moon together~
"The air in the mountains is so fresh." Pei Huai said while petting the cat. "You should come and play with us next time you have the chance. There are also farmhouses here."
"Okay, I'll go with you two next time I have a holiday."
After chatting briefly with Liang Yixuan, Pei Huai turned off his phone and focused on petting the cat.
Li Miao's tail swayed back and forth, and she raised her paw and yawned contentedly. Before she could even close her mouth, Pei Huai couldn't resist sticking his finger into Li Miao's mouth.
Li Miao was about to close her mouth when she noticed the finger inside. She immediately stopped, leaving her mouth half-open. Her cat-like eyes were wide open and shining in the night, making her look a little silly.
Pei Huai couldn't help but chuckle a few times before withdrawing his hand.
Miao Miao closed her mouth and turned her head to meow at Pei Huai.
Pei Huai couldn't help but laugh: "That was a really nasty insult."
Li Miao's expression froze. Pei Huai actually understood his insults? Really? Feeling a little embarrassed, Li Miao could only lower his head and lick his own feet, immediately skipping over the act of pretending to insult someone.
"You insulted someone and then put on an act, didn't you, Miaomiao?" Pei Huai patted Li Miao's chubby little bottom.
Li Miao didn't respond, shifted her bottom, and tucked it in so Pei Huai wouldn't pat her.
Unable to capture the cat's rear end in a photo, Pei Huai simply picked it up and kissed it, kissing it on the left and right sides.
Grandma Li was carrying a bowl of crucian carp soup that she had made that evening when she entered the courtyard and saw this scene.
Li Miao's little classmate really likes Miao Miao.
"The fish soup is ready. It's getting chilly tonight, so have some fish soup to warm yourself up." Grandma Li placed the fish soup on the stone table beside her.
Li Miao could accept being kissed by Pei Huai whenever he wanted, but she couldn't keep being kissed in front of her grandmother.
Li Miao was shy when Pei Huai kissed her in front of her elders. She twisted her body and broke free from Pei Huai's embrace, turning into a human and sitting at the table drinking fish soup.
"So delicious! Grandma's soup is the best ever. It tastes just like I know and love." Li Miao smacked her lips and enthusiastically urged Pei Huai to try some as well.
After thanking his grandmother, Pei Huai buried his head and took a few bites, his eyes lighting up.
Perhaps the crucian carp was wild, which is why the soup was so delicious.
"It tastes good." Pei Huai licked his lips.
Grandma Li smiled and said, "Drink more if you like."
Li Miao: "Grandma drinks too~"
Grandma Li: "Okay, I'll go inside and get some more to drink together."
Pei Huai felt a warm feeling in his stomach as he drank the fish soup, when he received a photo sent by his mother.
In the photo, Pei Huai's mother is smiling and posing for a group photo with several stylishly dressed women. Pei Huai's mother and her best friend are each holding a cat.
The two cats were one big and one small. The cat that Pei Huai's mother was holding was the big cat, with snow-white fur and a pair of very beautiful heterochromatic eyes.
Pei Huai's mother's best friend was holding a kitten that was completely black.
Pei Huai looked at the photo carefully, paused for a moment, and then fell silent.
The two cats in the photo look somewhat familiar.
“My mom sent me photos of her visiting the cat village before,” Pei Huai said.
Li Miao chimed in, "Really? Let me see."
Li Miao craned her neck to get a better look, and after seeing it clearly, she blinked and asked blankly, "The two cats up there look so familiar. I feel like I've seen them somewhere before."
"Silly little cat," Pei Huai said, both amused and exasperated, "didn't you recognize who they were?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Li Miao's eyes.
Pei Huai showed the photos he received on his phone to Grandma Li directly.
Grandma Li's eyesight wasn't very good, but after carefully examining it, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh!"
"Isn't this what Li Xuan and I looked like a few years ago?" Grandma Li tried hard to recall the woman who was holding her.
"So she was your mother! I remember she loved me so much back then, and even asked the village chief if she could take me back and raise me." Grandma Li couldn't help but laugh.
At that time, she and Lixuan were sunbathing outside. Back then, the village didn't have the same online popularity as the Cat Village it does today, and there were few tourists.
Suddenly, the aroma of delicious food wafted through the air. Before Grandma Li could even figure out what was going on, her mouth was watering as she headed straight for the food.
A few years ago, Grandma Li had never tried cat treats, which are specially made for cats, so she couldn't resist their temptation.
When I was being fed, I was petted all over and kissed a lot.
In the following days, Pei Huai's mother and her friends who had traveled together stayed in the village for a few days to relax.
During this time, Pei Huai's mother kept visiting Grandma Li.
When they parted ways, they learned that Grandma Li didn't have an owner, so they thought of taking her back and went to ask the village chief.
The village chief was both amused and exasperated. Grandma Li was even older than him. As the village chief of the cat village, he knew more or less about the spirit cat, and of course, he had to keep it a secret.
We could only politely decline the woman's request to adopt Grandma Li.
It is said that this heterochromatic lion cat was raised by everyone in the village, and every household loved it. Pei Huai's mother had no choice but to give up this lion cat, which was as beautiful as a fairy descended from heaven when she first saw it in the sunlight.
"Wow, what a coincidence! Pei Huai, your mother actually considered adopting Grandma!" Li Miao was also surprised.
"Yes, my mom wants to find out if the cat is still there."
According to cats' ages, Grandma Li was already considered an old cat a few years ago.
“It’s all right, Grandma is in good health,” Li Miao said.
Grandma Li and Pei Huai were both amused by Li Miao's words.
"So I'll just tell my mom that Grandma Li is still alive and well?" Pei Huai said.
Grandma Li: "Hmm, but you have to make sure you type the name correctly, don't just type 'Grandma Li'."
Pei Huai: "Yeah, I'm not that stupid, right, Li Miao?"
“Yes, Pei Huai wouldn’t mispronounce the address.” As soon as Li Miao finished speaking, she felt that something was not quite right. After thinking for a few seconds, she suddenly widened her eyes.
"Pei Huai, are you calling me stupid again?" Li Miao gritted her teeth, unable to resist the urge to bite someone.
Pei Huai feigned ignorance: "I didn't say Miaomiao was stupid."
Grandma Li watched the two children from the side and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Pei Huai originally wanted to tell his mother that the cat was still alive, but it seemed a bit strange that the news had been found so quickly.
Just to be on the safe side, Pei Huai decided to tell his mother about the cat being still around tomorrow, only replying that he would ask around in the village tomorrow.
Pei Huai's mother: [Great! I really hope Xiao Xi stays healthy.]
Little Stream, Grandma Li.
The two completely different forms of address made Pei Huai burst out laughing.
After a short gathering in the courtyard, the group got up and went back inside to rest.
There was no formal countertop like a sink; everyone had to fetch water to wash themselves. Pei Huai boiled water and poured it for Li Miao to wash her feet.
She had turned back into a kitten and was lying at the foot of the bed. Li Miao was too lazy to move, so she just lay there, flicked her tail, and meowed twice, but didn't say anything.
Pei Huai didn't urge Li Miao to turn into a human immediately. Instead, he picked up the kitten, placed it on his lap, moistened a towel with hot water, and used the towel to wipe Li Miao's feet.
As soon as the mangosteen claws were rubbed, Li Miao couldn't help but bloom into flowers.
Wipe it, and the claw will bloom once; wipe it again, and it will bloom again.
I washed all four paws clean and dried them with a dry towel.
"Alright, you're all clean now, go to bed." When Pei Huai put Li Miao on the bed, he even kissed Mangosteen's little foot.
"Eek~" Li Miao couldn't help but meow, clearly disgusted.
Pei Huai is so inconsiderate; he's kissed his feet so many times.
“I don’t mind, but you, Miaomiao, do you mind?” Pei Huai vigorously rubbed the cat’s head.
"Mmm~" Disgusted~
“Move in a little, Miaomiao,” Pei Huai said with a smile.
Li Miao lazily shifted her body and moved a little further inside.
In the city, it takes a while to feel sleepy at night, but perhaps the nights in the village have a strange magic. Pei Huai and Li Miao fell asleep in each other's arms after only a few minutes in bed.
The two of them didn't get up until late the next day.
After getting ready to go out, Li Miao took Pei Huai fishing. As soon as they sat down on the small stool, the fish from the nearby village all gathered around them, looking at them expectantly.
Several more tourists joined them for fishing.
They even had a competition to see who could catch a fish for the kitten first.
"It moved! My fish tank moved!" Afraid of scaring away the nearby fish, Li Miao kept her voice down in her excitement and quickly cast her line, catching a fish that was a little bigger than her palm.
Li Miao took the fish down and put it on the grass. A round orange cat rushed over and snatched the fish away immediately. The other cats could only meow a few times, as if urging the others to catch fish quickly.
"No wonder it's a fat orange cat, it's the fastest at grabbing food," said another tourist nearby.
“The other kittens are still waiting, we need to hurry,” a tourist chimed in.
“I think I caught one too.” Pei Huai’s fishing rod twitched, but when he pulled it up, all he found was a string of water plants.
"Didn't catch anything, just water plants." Pei Huai was somewhat disappointed.
"It's okay, you'll definitely catch a fish next time," Li Miao optimistically comforted Pei Huai.
Encouraged, Pei Huai picked himself up and started again. A few minutes later, thanks to his boyfriend's good wishes, he successfully caught a fish even bigger than the one Li Miao had caught earlier.
Pei Huai smiled knowingly after successfully feeding the kittens.
He even took a photo and posted it on his WeChat Moments to record his achievement.
At noon, the two did not go home for lunch. Instead, they ate free-range chicken at a nearby firewood chicken restaurant and ordered extra dishes to take home, planning to have dinner with Grandma Li.
In the evening, Pei Huaicai shyly asked Grandma Li if she could turn back into her original form so he could take a picture to show his mother.
Grandma Li chuckled and said, "Oh, of course! I was actually thinking last night if you needed my photo."
Then, Grandma Li transformed back into a cat, sitting on a square stool, her pure white fur fluffy, bathed in sunlight, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes shimmering.
Pei Huaidu thought Grandma Li was really beautiful.
It possesses a sacred beauty, dignified and lovely.
Pei Huai filmed a video and sent it to his mother.
[Son: Mom, the cat you mentioned is still living in the village, and it's very healthy and in good condition.]
Upon receiving her son's photo, Pei Huai's mother was both surprised and delighted. She sent a voice message saying, "That's good. Cats should be healthy and live long lives."
