Chapter 25 Master Cat
Pei Heng placed his phone on the coffee table, pointed the camera at the little girl who was subdued in a cardboard box and was looking at him with her head tilted, and took a picture.
In the photo, the kitten's round eyes are full of curiosity, and Pei Heng's slender fingers are pressing on its forehead. The picture is unexpectedly harmonious.
Pei Heng casually posted a circle of friends, with the caption only an emoji of a kitten's paw.
Soon, the phone started ringing non-stop.
Pei Heng clicked on the comments, and was filled with cuteness and adorableness, with a few of them standing out in particular.
Unfamiliar brother: [This little guy has the same eyes as you did when you were a kid.]
Normal sister: [+1, they're twins!]
My dear mother: [Oh my Hengheng, this cat is so beautiful, it looks a lot like you!]
…
Pei Heng: “?”
He looked down puzzledly at the furry little thing in the cardboard box that could only meow.
There's no resemblance.
He frowned and decisively quit commenting, not noticing that Zhou Jingming and Chen Yu, who were looking at the screen nearby, were trying to hold back their laughter.
The two of them even added fuel to the fire in their circle of friends.
Zhou Jingming: [The lost brother of the previous life has been identified!]
Chen Yu: [I second the motion. The long-lost royal bloodline.]
Among all the comments, some cute and some teasing, Chen Shi's message seemed particularly simple and direct.
【I want to see you.】
Pei Heng stared at the three words for a few seconds, and before he could do anything, Shen Shi’s video request popped up.
Pei Heng leaned his phone against the armrest of the sofa, found a stable angle, and picked up the little Sanhua that was still peeking out of the cardboard box. He held it in his arms, letting its little head face the camera.
The video was connected, and the light on Shen Shi's side was soft.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was Xiao Sanhua's moist pink nose as she approached the camera.
Shen Shi pulled the corner of his lip, and his voice came through the receiver, "Master Cat, have you seen my Ah Heng?"
Pei Heng pinched Xiao Sanhua's front paws, waved them at the camera, and asked seriously.
"Why don't you look at cats? Aren't cats cute?"
Shen Shi couldn't help laughing out loud, looking at the really cute kitten on the screen, then looked at the wrist holding the cat, and his voice became softer.
"I want to see my cat."
Pei Heng was stunned for a moment, moved the little Sanhua in his arms away, and looked at the camera, "Who are you saying is the cat?"
The smile in Chen Shi's eyes deepened. He didn't dare to make Pei Heng angry again, so he quickly restrained his smile, but didn't look at Xiao Sanhua again. His eyes fell on Pei Heng's face without blinking.
Even though we can video chat every night, the longing still comes silently through the screen and almost drowns me.
Especially... the bite marks on the side of the neck caused by Pei Heng have become so faint that they are almost invisible in the past two days.
Shen Shi curled up his fingertips, feeling a little itchy.
Pei Heng stretched out his fingertips and tapped Shen Shi's eyes on the screen, then looked down at the little Sanhua in his arms who began to twist restlessly again.
"You like cats, do you want to keep one?"
Little Sanhua seemed to sense something and meowed at the beauty on the screen.
Shen Shi shook his head, "I can't raise a raccoon slave well. In the past, the cats in the East Palace were all carefully cared for by special people."
He was used to having others take care of everything for him, and he really didn't have the confidence to take care of the little life by himself.
Pei Heng said "oh", raised the little Sanhua in his arms a little higher, and waved his cat paw in the direction of Shen Shi.
"What a pity! It seems you are destined to be scolded by my mother, little brother."
"Send it to the Queen to raise?" Shen Shi's voice came through the receiver.
Pei Heng nodded: "Well, my mother wanted to raise a daughter, but unfortunately I was the only one she had, so she raised a bunch of beautiful cats and dogs and dressed them up all day long."
"...What?" Shen Shi was obviously stunned for a moment.
Even Ling Yue, who was standing quietly next to him, cast a puzzled look.
Pei Heng was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Shen Shi was silent for a few seconds, as if he was considering his words and felt it was strange.
"In my previous life, although there was only one prince, Your Highness, there was an older sister, Princess Shuhe, before you."
When Pei Heng heard this, he fell silent with a complicated feeling.
He looked at the ignorant kitten in his arms and calmed down.
"some."
"Shuhe is the name of my dog. It's the first Samoyed my mom raised, so she's also the eldest."
Shen Shi: “…”
There was silence on the other end of the video for more than ten seconds.
Shen Shi's expression was a little dazed. He cleared his throat and decided to end this overly weird topic immediately.
Just at this moment, Zhou Jingming let out a miserable wail from the direction of the toilet.
"Brother Ling Yue! Help! Come and give me a hand! This cat peed in my pants! ahhhh!"
Ling Yue came back to his senses, put down the little prince who had licked himself clean, and quickly walked to the bathroom to rescue the imperial steward.
A few days later, the two lively little orange cats were adopted by experienced and caring people outside the school.
The little girl who was favored by the queen at first sight enjoyed the highest treatment.
The empress, who was far away in the imperial capital, sent her personal assistant to fly over to pick her up, carrying a customized airline box and a full set of cat supplies.
By the way, I also expressed my condolences to my precious son who is still studying.
On the day when Xiao Sanhua was sent away, Zhou Jingming hugged the empty cardboard box and cried like an old father sending his daughter away, muttering that he should go home often.
However, when he turned around and saw the messy dormitory and the faint smell of goat milk in the air, his crying stopped abruptly.
He wiped away his non-existent tears, changed his expression in a second, and moved closer to Chen Yu, the second old father who was wiping the table.
"Tsk, this dormitory is only suitable for one kind of creature, the humanoid Pei Cat."
Chen Yu stopped, glanced at the lazy figure curled up on the sofa watching a show, and nodded in agreement.
The days of being forced to get up an hour earlier every day to make goat milk for the cat and change the cat litter are finally over.
