Chapter 50: Despite giving it my all, I still couldn't win...
The situation is out of control.
Meows rose and fell in waves; the little brother chattered away, while the big brother responded with a single, authoritative sound.
Ji Yanyan sensed the murderous aura and timidly sidled up to Ji Zhi Qiu, asking with lingering fear, "Dad, what are they arguing about?"
Ji Zhi Qiu thought for a while, then said thoughtfully, "That's probably it."
"Little brother: Big brother, didn't you say that wildcats would never be slaves? But it was all a lie. All these years of affection and love have been misplaced!!"
"Brother: What do you know? This isn't an ordinary human being. This is my father-in-law. My happiness for the rest of my life depends on him!"
Ji Yanyan looked up and asked, puzzled, "What is a father-in-law?"
Ji Zhi Qiu patted his head and smiled without saying a word.
The mother cat is entirely white, while her two offspring are orange and spotted. Considering her sneaking out to meet the orange cat and the orange cat's attitude towards the mother cat, it can be deduced that he is the father cat.
The mother cat probably felt that being a stray wasn't stable enough, so she chose them as her long-term meal tickets. However, she hadn't completely broken off her relationship with the stray orange cats outside, which is why she poked a hole in the window screen so she could occasionally come out for a tryst...
It could also be a one-sided shouting match.
The feline grudges and affections are too complicated, and Ji Zhi Qiu, a simple human, doesn't want to get involved. In any case, he made a promise the moment he adopted the cat that he would take care of the mother cat and her family no matter what happened.
"This situation is a bit dangerous. As outsiders, we should probably slip away first."
Ji Zhi Qiu picked up Ji Yan Yan and tiptoed backward. The Wildcat Gang was too busy arguing to notice them.
After reaching the road, Ji Zhi Qiu immediately turned tail and ran back. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he reached a safe place.
He patted his son's chubby bottom and asked, "Yan Yan, is the detective game fun?"
"Fun!"
"But you have to tell your dad if you want to play in the future, you can't sneak out anymore."
Ji Yanyan nodded repeatedly: "Dad isn't here, and I can't understand cat language either."
Ji Zhi Qiu chuckled, about to explain that he didn't understand either, when he suddenly saw two small figures running towards him.
He was overjoyed, his voice even changing tone: "That's great! You two actually came out to exercise on your own. Did you run a lap around the neighborhood?"
Ji Sicheng and Ji Zishen were panting heavily, their cheeks flushed with health. They looked at each other, each seeing a speechless expression, and slowly shook their heads, not wanting to bother with Ji Zhiqi in their exhausted state.
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't mind. After putting Ji Yan Yan down, she led the three children home.
The cameramen on the show had a worse experience; they were a step too slow and were spotted by a stray cat, causing the screen to shake violently as a stray cat could be seen jumping around from time to time.
Viewers in the live stream gasped.
Stray cats are very vengeful; be more careful next time and make sure you don't bump into them.
Haha, I'm truly impressed; even the cats at the Abstract House are so expressive.
Is this the family blessed by the god of variety shows? They have so many memorable moments.
I have a feeling this will become a TV series, so much so.
When Ji Zhi Qiu returned home, the mother cat was curled up in her nest, comfortably licking her fur, as if nothing had happened.
Ji Zhi Qiu replaced the wire mesh in front of her, but the mother cat didn't react at all, as if she had given up on the idea of seeing the orange cat again.
Ji Zhi Qiu finally felt relieved. He had just petted the cat so much that he almost touched its testicles, and he was too embarrassed to face the orange cat again.
When lunch break was over, the production team shut down the live stream amidst the curses and threats from netizens.
The family of four enjoyed a delicious meal, took a nap, and were fully recharged when the broadcast started in the afternoon.
Ji Yanyan continued playing with the Lego she hadn't been able to do that morning, but as soon as she sat down, she heard a noise coming from the screen window.
He looked up curiously, thinking the orange cat had come again, but when he went to the window, he realized it was his good friend.
A bunch of cute, innocent faces crowded around. "Yan Yan, the weather is so nice today, do you want to come out and play?"
"Let's play hide-and-seek, it'll be so much fun!"
"Dad just bought me a card, I can give you one."
Ji Yanyan stood on tiptoe, leaning out the window to chat with everyone. The scene looked like a bunch of little puppies huddled together affectionately, whimpering in their baby voices, shaking their ears and swaying from side to side, trying to squeeze and rub against their best friends.
Ji Yanyan nodded in agreement, but the children did not happily disperse. Instead, they looked at each other, nudged each other's shoulders, pulled each other's arms, and shoved each other forward, eventually crowding together under the windowsill.
"What's wrong?"
"Yan Yan, um..." she finally mustered the courage to speak, "Is your dad coming out or not?"
"I'll go ask."
Ji Yanyan ran back into the house and invited Ji Zhi Qiu to go out and play. Ji Zhi Qiu was bored at the time, so she agreed.
Ji Yanyan was the first to run out. The children were happy to see him, but they all stood on tiptoe to look behind him.
Ji Zhi Qiu casually put on a coat and came out. As soon as he appeared, he was surrounded by children. Little hands were raised in front of him, and they wanted to give him candy and snacks.
What a heartwarming scene! Let me do it!
[Hahaha, is it just my imagination? Actually, the kids probably want to play with their dads more.]
I can't take it anymore. Let me live my life again and join this family!
[No, you're rejected because you're not abstract enough. Seriously.]
Ji Zhiqi led the children to the activity center like herding ducklings, and they played games together.
Viewers in the live stream initially thought he was just popular, but later discovered that Ji Zhi Qiu truly integrated into the group and was the most enthusiastic among them, accepting all games without hesitation.
At first, everyone thought it was childish, but as the game progressed, they became involved and even formed their own factions to cheer on the people they supported.
[It's hopeless, I really want to play.]
Having fun after work makes all the stress disappear.
Seriously, this is the advanced version of going crazy! Playing with kids, you don't have to think about anything else, just run around and scream without anyone paying attention. The more childish the behavior, the more serious I am. And some kids genuinely want to play with you, and if you're late, they'll come downstairs to call you. It's so cute!
Please, please let me join in! I can't even imagine how cheerful I'll become.
The game turned into hide-and-seek. Ji Zhi hid in a corner when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him. He turned around and looked at Sang Biao.
In that instant, the atmosphere became extremely awkward. It was as if the two of them had been caught red-handed doing something improper in private and were unable to face each other. They looked away at each other without prior agreement. The orange cat flew close to the ground, while Ji Zhi Qiu looked up at the sky speechlessly, pretending that this chance encounter had not happened.
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't hide for long; Ji Yan Yan quickly found him.
Ji Yanyan held her father's hand and walked openly through the activity area to grab other children, her head held high and her steps a little unsteady.
There are so many parents in the neighborhood, but only his father plays with him. His good friends have also expressed their liking for his father many times in private, wishing they could join his family, and even trying to bribe him with all sorts of nice things.
Ji Yanyan, despite her young age, had already been corrupted. She turned to look at Ji Zhi Qiu and said, "Dad, you make me look very respectable in public!"
"..." Ji Zhi Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Thank you for your affirmation, Yan Yan."
"You're welcome, Dad, keep up the good work." Ji Yanyan deliberately went around in circles, showcasing her father in every way to make him feel proud.
While he was circling around, an uninvited guest trespassed on his "territory".
Although Xu Zhuangzhuang is only in the third grade, his genes are too superior. He has a chubby face and a strong body. Standing with his peers, he looks like a sixth-grade older brother.
He glanced around and randomly grabbed a little boy.
The little boy was intimidated by his imposing manner and shrank back, afraid of being hit.
Xu Zhuangzhuang glanced at him and asked, "Who's your boss?"
"Boss, what's a boss?"
Xu Zhuangzhuang was silent for a few seconds, then changed his question, "Then who is the leader of your group of kids?"
"It's me!" The little boy shook his head innocently. "I'm a child, this is my head, so I'm the child's head!"
Little boy: "..."
He was utterly speechless, but at the same time, he felt a strange sense of superiority.
If the younger brother is so ignorant, then the boss can't be much better.
"So whose orders do you all take?" Xu Zhuangzhuang waved his hand. "Call him over and tell him that someone has come to ask him for advice."
"Okay, okay." The little boy ran back and quickly disappeared from sight.
Xu Zhuangzhuang stood alone. A gust of wind blew by, and he inexplicably felt that his shadow was stretched infinitely long, making him look very handsome.
He has a favorite animated series, whose protagonist is his idol. His idol dominates the martial arts world, defeating various sects, so he wants to learn from his idol and become the master of the martial arts world.
The first step is to go out and challenge others, expand your territory, and recruit followers.
Xu Zhuangzhuang was immersed in his own world, as if he could already see that scene, so beautiful that his eyes narrowed, until a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"They're here, they're here."
Xu Zhuangzhuang was stunned when he opened his eyes.
Why did the sky suddenly turn cloudy? The sunlight is being blocked.
He raised his head as if sensing something, and slowly leaned back, finally seeing Ji Zhi Qiu's smiling face.
Ugh...
Dear Dangdang Little Flying Man.
My friend, I followed in your footsteps, hoping to build my own empire, but I encountered a formidable foe, taller and stronger than me. Despite my best efforts, I could not defeat him and could only wail in despair.
He stared blankly at Ji Zhi Qiu, swallowed hard, and said in a very low voice, "Boss, can I play with you?"
