Chapter 59
Li Miao slept until dawn; his sleeping posture was truly unrestrained.
With its long legs and tail wrapped around Pei Huai, Li Miao buried its face in Pei Huai's chest and made whimpering sounds when it was woken up.
"I'll make breakfast. What would you like to eat?" Pei Huai kissed Li Miao, who was still half asleep.
Li Miao yawned and pondered. Just as Pei Huai decided to make a simple sandwich, Li Miao smacked her lips and said, "I want to eat cat treats."
"..." Pei Huai was startled, and his sleepiness vanished instantly.
What kind of nice family would let their cat eat cat treats first thing in the morning?
"No, let's eat breakfast first to fill our stomachs, and then we can have snacks later." Pei Huai stroked Li Miao's ear.
Li Miao lay on the pillow and lazily hummed in agreement.
After breakfast, Li Miao transformed back into a kitten and began to wander around the rented house again as a cat.
With her fluffy, dandelion-like tail held high, Li Miao nimbly jumped onto the cat tree that had already been assembled.
"Meow~ Meow meow meow~~~" So fun.
Li Miao's muscles were all engaged as she climbed up and down, leaping from one side to the other. There was even a special resting area on the cat tree.
The tiny cat, its body tucked into the space capsule, the circular concave surface of which was just the right size to completely envelop the cat.
Lying here, Li Miao suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.
After washing the clothes he had changed out of the night before, Pei Huai came out and saw the kitten sleeping soundly in the space capsule.
Li Miao's tail was too fluffy to fit inside the space capsule, with half of it sticking out.
The bright morning sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a golden filter over the kitten, making it both beautiful and hazy.
Pei Huai walked over quietly and patted Li Miao's little head.
Pei Huai's phone vibrated in his pocket. It was the weekend, and his mother asked how her son was doing at school.
Pei Huai's mother: [How's your relationship with Li Miao going? Looking forward to it.jpg]
Pei Huai's mother: [Are you really not going to * need Mom's help with planning?]
Pei Huai's lips curled into a faint smile.
【I don't need your help. Just yesterday, Li Miao agreed to be my boyfriend.】
Pei Huai's mother: Shocked!!!
Pei Huai's mother: [Really? It went so smoothly! Do you have any recent photos of him?]
"The latest photos!" Pei Huai lowered his eyes and stared at Miao Miao, who was fast asleep on the cat tree, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
If my parents find out later that Li Miao is a cat, they'll be shocked.
Pei Huai was not worried that his parents would hate or reject Li Miao's identity as a cat.
His mother loves cats just as much as he does.
His father, on the other hand, listens to his mother.
Pei Huai flipped through the photo album and found a side profile photo of Li Miao sleeping on the table during early morning class, and sent it to her.
Pei Huai's mother: [Ahhh, he's so cute! His eyelashes are so long, and he still has chubby cheeks. I want to pinch them!]
Great minds think alike, Pei Huai raised an eyebrow. He and his mother really were mother and son; he also particularly liked pinching Li Miao's cheeks.
Pei Huai then took a picture of the cat sleeping.
I forgot to tell you when I called before, but I rented a place off-campus and I've got a cat.
A beautiful photo of a tiny kitten sleeping.
Click! After taking the picture, Pei Huai sent the photo of the kitten over.
Pei Huai's mother was even more shocked. Her son was finally no longer the cat that all the cats disliked!
This is a cause for universal celebration and great joy.
Pei Huai's mother: [Wow, it's actually not afraid of you! Why is that? Aren't all cats afraid to approach you?]
Why...? Pei Huai's gaze toward Li Miao was filled with a doting smile.
He typed back: "[Because Miaomiao is a cat that's close to Limiao, maybe it's because they love the cat so much that they like me too.]"
Pei Huai's mother: [That's wonderful! You can date him and also feed a cat? It seems even the heavens think you and Li Miao are a perfect match.]
Pei Huai: [Hmm]
After chatting with his mother for a while, Li Miao, who had taken a nap, woke up. He stretched lazily, his tail swaying in the air.
Pei Huai couldn't help but chuckle, pinching the kitten's tail and putting it back.
Someone touched her tail, and Li Miao slowly opened her eyes. It was Pei Huai.
"Meow~ Meow meow~~" I want to eat cat treats.
Li Miao had just woken up and was already hungry.
Unable to understand cat language, Pei Huai and Li Miao were surprisingly in sync this time. Pei Huai opened the cabinet where the cat food was stored and found a whole bag of cat treats that hadn't been opened yet.
He took one out of there: "Miaomiao, come and eat a cat treat."
Upon seeing that whole bag of cat treats, Li Miao's amber cat eyes lit up.
The kitten was practically drooling, and it went over and meowed, urging Pei Huai to quickly tear open the packaging.
"prprprpr..." Li Miao kept licking the cat treat.
It's delicious, I'll have it again.
~o( =∩ω∩= )m
"We can't be greedy. It's almost noon, and we still need to go upstairs to have lunch with our brothers."
"Meow~ woo~~" Li Miao lay down directly, revealing her soft little belly, her tail swaying gently, begging for cat treats.
Pei Huai couldn't resist Li Miao's cuteness overload and almost fell for it, tearing open another cat treat.
Cats shouldn't eat too many cat treats, so Pei Huai didn't spoil them by feeding them too much. He grabbed a handful of freeze-dried treats and gave them to Li Miao.
I'm content as long as I have something to eat.
Li Miao: o(*￣︶￣*)o
It made cute little whimpering noises, ate all the snacks, and even licked Pei Huai's palm at the end.
"It itches." Pei Huai let out a low, hoarse laugh.
After Li Miao finished eating and digested for a while, Pei Huai took out the new toy he had bought for the kitten and let Li Miao play with it as she pleased.
Besides food and supplies, Pei Huai also bought a litter box and an automatic water fountain for the cat, even though Li Miao could turn back into a human to do things like go to the toilet and drink water.
But Pei Huai thought that if Li Miao wanted to stay at home as a cat, he would buy her all the things a kitten should have.
"Miaomiao, your claws are a bit long. I'll trim them for you now. After we're done, we'll go upstairs to play with your brothers." Pei Huai's voice unconsciously tightened as he spoke to the kitten.
Li Miao stepped onto the wooden floor, stretched out a long yawn, her butt and tail sticking up high, her body slumping down in a classic cat stretch.
Li Miao looked down at her little paws. Had her paws grown? They seemed to have grown a little.
So Li Miao nodded: "Meow~" Then I'll leave it to you.
With permission, Pei Huai took out the cat nail clippers he had bought in advance.
Before starting, Pei Huai suddenly remembered that many netizens seemed to be waiting for his and Li Miao's video.
So, Pei Huai set up his phone camera.
Sitting on a low stool, I held Li Miao up on my lap.
While recording the video, she said, "Today we're going to trim Miaomiao's nails."
"Meow~" Yes, time to trim nails!
“Miaomiao, stretch out your claws,” Pei Huai said gently.
Li Miao politely and obediently stretched out her chubby little bamboo claws, first her right hand, then her left.
Pei Huai paid attention to the quick when trimming the kitten's nails, and trimmed them very properly.
"The paws are all cut, now it's time to cut the paws." Pei Huai took the opportunity to pat the kitten's belly.
"Meow~!" Li Miao raised her cat head and glared fiercely at Pei Huai.
Don't you dare touch my crotch like that, you bad Pei Huai!
"I won't touch it anymore, I won't touch it anymore." Pei Huai quickly apologized after being caught.
"Meow~" I forgive you.
Li Miao lazily stretched out her feet again.
His paw pads are heart-shaped, soft and fluffy, and look incredibly cute.
Pei Huai rubbed the kitten's nails a few times without any hesitation before slowly continuing to trim them.
"Alright, that's the process for trimming a kitten's nails. Did everyone learn it?" Pei Huai said simply at the end, and the new video was finished.
After cleaning up the scattered nail clippings on the floor, Pei Huaicai edited the video and uploaded it online.
Soon, netizens who had been following Pei Huai's account became active in the comments section.
[Oh no, the blogger's nail trimming went so smoothly?!]
【What a treasure of a kitten! Miaomiao is so well-behaved, she doesn't make a fuss at all, I love her!】
What color burlap sack does Miaomiao like? Would pink be okay?
[Hey blogger, don't think I didn't see you taking the opportunity to pet Miaomiao's little belly and getting scolded, hahaha, so funny]
【Miaomiao is still the most obedient. Let's try getting a tabby cat instead! [Sobbing] jif】
[Oh, why is today's new video so short? Where's my princess dress? I'm begging you to update! I'll send you all my flowers!]
Pei Huai picked out this comment and replied: 【Thank you for liking Miaomiao. I'll get Miaomiao a new dress and film a video in a couple of days】
In their school dormitory, Li Hang and Liang Yixuan also got up early in the morning to browse videos. Because they followed Pei Huai, they easily came across new videos that they were following.
Liang Yixuan immediately replied in the group chat: 【Okay, okay, Pei Huai, you're living a very happy life. Not only did you stay out all night with Li Miao, but you were also happily playing with the cat outside!!!】
Li Hang: [I want to pet a cat too! When will Miaomiao come to our dorm to play?]
Pei Huai replied unhurriedly: "Ahem, I'll ask Li Miao later."
Liang Yixuan then privately messaged Pei Huai: "So, you and Li Miao will be living in a rented apartment from now on?"
Pei Huai: [Probably, we'll see how it goes later.]
Liang Yixuan: [So, are you and Li Miao already together?!?!]
Pei Huai couldn't resist sharing: [Yeah, we're together now. Li Miao accepted my confession.]
Liang Yixuan: [I knew it! You're something else, you actually managed to fool Li Miao.]
Pei Huai's lips twitched slightly: "What do you mean by lying? Li Miao and I are mutually attracted; we like each other."
Liang Yixuan: [Hahaha, yes, yes, yes, you two like each other, or congratulations on finding a partner! But will your aunt and uncle approve of you and Li Miao?]
Liang Yixuan used to visit Pei Huai's house often and knew Pei Huai's parents. Li Miao was a very nice person, and if he were to be with Pei Huai and not be accepted by the elders...
Liang Yixuan was actually still a little worried.
Li Miao wasn't really in the mood for anything. If he were to be troubled by Pei Huai's parents in the future, he would feel sorry for them.
Pei Huai: [She'll agree, my mom knows.]
Liang Yixuan immediately stopped worrying: 【That's good! But you're amazing, telling Auntie so quickly!】
Pei Huai: [Well, we can't wait until later to tell our parents.]
...
It was almost noon, so Pei Huai and Li Miao tidied up and went upstairs.
The doorbell rang, and Li Xuan realized that it must be her younger brother coming up to eat together. She excitedly ran to turn it on.
"Good afternoon, Brother Lixuan."
Pei Huai stood outside the door with a calm and composed demeanor, holding a cute, milky-white kitten in his arms.
"Meow~" Brother~
Li Miao looked at her brother with her cat-like eyes.
Li Xuan didn't care whether Pei Huai was annoying or not, and snatched the cat from Pei Huai's arms.
Hold it in mid-air and take a deep breath.
"Miaomiao, Miaomiao, you're so cute~" Lixuan kissed Limiao.
Li Miao couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Because it was a cat, her laughter turned into a cute, meowing sound.
Li Xuan was so charmed by her younger brother that she forgot Pei Huai was still standing at the door.
Pei Huai didn't know how to evaluate the brother-obsessed guy in front of him.
He changed his shoes, went inside, and greeted his cousin.
Pei Qingsong was making lunch when Pei Huai went to the kitchen to wash his hands and help with the preparation.
Li Miao and Li Xuan were playing in the living room.
After a while, they were making a ruckus, running around on the sofa in the room, moving as fast as two lightning bolts.
Time passed little by little.
The two cats got tired of playing games and collapsed on the sofa to rest.
Lunch was ready. Pei Huai took the plates out and called Li Miao and Li Xuan to eat.
I turned my head and saw this scene.
A corner of the sofa.
The milky-white furry creature, Miaomiao, was lazily lying on the black cat, her chin resting on the cat's head, gently swaying her fluffy tail, and folding cat toys with her brother.
Pei Huai was so charmed that his nose bled, and he wanted to kiss the kitten to death.
