Chapter 55 Nian Nian Meets Good Friend Cat
The three adults were chatting animatedly with Nian Nian as the center. Shi Guilin and Shi Nanqi were having a great time talking and told many of Nian Nian's embarrassing stories. Xi Zhu laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe several times.
When no one was paying attention, the atmosphere between Xi Zimu and Nian Nian was equally lively and extremely warm.
To be precise, the change began when Xi Zimu heard Xi Zhu wanted to take Nian Nian as his student. Far from throwing a tantrum, he even smiled strangely. Children are not good at hiding their emotions, and Xi Zimu is a master at this. He immediately took the initiative and extended an olive branch of friendship to Nian Nian.
Xi Zimu pushed the little black cat forward: "You really want to touch it, I can see that." He looked understanding.
Nian Nian looked at him for a few seconds: "Nian Nian, did you touch it?"
"Yes." Xi Zimu said generously, "It's a black cat, very well behaved, it won't scratch you."
Nian Nian nodded, lowering her gaze to meet the little black cat's eyes once more. Slowly, she reached out her hand and gently touched the top of the little black cat's head. It was furry, a slightly different feeling than petting Yuan Yuan, but just as pleasant. Without retracting her hand, she followed Xi Zimu's lead, drawing on his previous experience petting the cat, and boldly rubbed the cat's body.
"Meow." The kitten seemed to feel comfortable being touched and called out in a low voice.
Nian Nian had never interacted with cats before. When the kitten cried, he was so scared that he quickly withdrew his hand: "Niannian, I don't want to hit him." He thought he had hurt the kitten.
"It meows when it likes you to touch it." Xi Zimu took the cat back, pinched its paws, and taught Nian Nian his experience in raising cats. After that, the two little guys were speechless for a while. Xi Zimu stared at Nian Nian for a long time without blinking.
"Niannian, are you dirty?" The little guy who had been stared at touched his face and blinked his pure black eyes, "Papa, wash Niannian." He remembered that Guilin had wiped his face carefully before he went out.
"It's not dirty." Xi Zimu's expression was matter-of-fact, his familiar personality beginning to show in the two-year-old. "I've been watching you since you came into my house. Don't you know?"
He thought he was being very blatant.
"Look at Nian Nian?" The thick-skinned little fellow was bewildered. He had been looking at the cat since he entered the house, and hadn't paid any attention to its owner, Xi Zimu.
However, the little heartthrob Nian Nian knew that many aunts and uncles liked to see her, whether at the Shi family or elsewhere. Thinking of this, his face flushed slightly, and he asked Xi Zimu in a somewhat cocky tone: "Well, Nian Nian, do you look good?"
"It looks good." Xi Zimu expressed his true thoughts without any shyness, "Your eyes are round and dark inside, just like before." It was for this reason that he had been looking at Nian Nian since she entered the door.
He really looks like Gulai. When Gulai was a child, his eyes were also dark, bright, and especially round.
"What are you doing here?" Nian Nian was confused by his words, but Xi Zimu praised his good looks so frankly that his face turned even redder out of shyness.
"It's a kitten." Xi Zimu held the kitten up for him to see. "My mom asked me to name the kitten. The first name I gave it was Meow Meow because it always meows."
At this point, Xi Zimu's childish face showed annoyance. He complained, "When I call him to eat and say 'meow meow', he comes. Otherwise, he doesn't come."
"Not coming?" Nian Nian was confused.
"Yeah." Xi Zimu nodded bitterly, "I told my mom. She told me that the kitten thought it was calling its own name."
"Oh," Nian Nian understood, and looked at the kitten with pity in his eyes, "Come here, idiot."
The kitten licked its paws, heard Nian Nian calling it, and looked at Nian Nian.
"It's not stupid," Xi Zimu quickly covered the kitten's ears, very protective. "If it is stupid, then you are stupid too since you followed it and look so similar to it."
"Hmm," Nian Nian said anxiously, "I'm not stupid! Nian Nian is not a pig." He couldn't make any excuses, so he simply solved the problem from the source: "Nian Nian, come follow me, it's not like that! Humph."
Xi Zimu didn't allow Nian Nian to refute his point of view: "Like!"
Nian Nian snorted with more force and said solemnly: "Not like it! Nian Nian is not stupid! Grandpa said so." Shi Jianfeng had told Nian Nian that even if her father was a fool, he would not be a fool.
Xi Zimu was annoyed: "Yeah! Mommy said good kids should be honest."
"Niannian, be good." The little guy who was always surrounded by everyone and praised for being good was unhappy. He rolled his eyes and looked at the person coming over, thinking of something that looked more like him at home.
"Papa's pants look like this, but Nian Nian doesn't." Nian Nian frowned and argued confidently.
This time it was Xi Zimu's turn to be dumbfounded. He stammered, "What are your father's pants? Why do they look like this?"
"Because papa's pants are black." Nian Nian pointed at the lazy ball in Xi Zimu's arms, "Come here, it's also black." Both things are black, and they are definitely more similar than Nian Nian's white ones.
Besides, Shi Guilin's pants were really all black. Nian Nian, who had just taken them this morning, couldn't be more sure!
Shi Guilin, who had been taking a break from his busy schedule while Xi Zhu and Shi Nanqi were chatting animatedly, was caught off guard by thunder. He glanced at Shi Nanqi and the others, making sure no one was paying attention, and then hurriedly patted Nian Nian's butt in a discouraging manner.
"Papa." Nian Nian, who was being slapped, quickly protected her butt, raised her face, and looked at the culprit Shi Guilin with innocent eyes.
Shi Guilin gritted his teeth and lowered his head to whisper in Nian Nian's ear: "Little ancestor, please forgive Daddy. Ah, don't tell anyone everything. Daddy also has to save face."
After persuading his son, Shi Guilin leaned over lovingly and said to Xi Zimu, who was holding the cat, "Don't believe what Nian Nian said."
Nian Nian looked at Shi Guilin in shock: "Nian Nian, stop talking nonsense. Papa, the car said not to chase."
The two sentences that Shi Guilin said were completely refuted by his own son.
Xi Zimu chose to believe Nian Nian: "Oh, so how can black pants be similar? I thought they would only look like each other if they had black kittens printed on them."
Shi Guilin: "..." What on earth do you kids want to do? Also, he would never wear underwear with black kittens printed on it.
Twenty-three-year-old Shi Guilin's face was used as a smear campaign by his son, and his words of defense were extremely pale and powerless. It was obvious that the two children were only concerned with their own opinions, and no one took Shi Guilin himself or his black underwear seriously.
Nian Nian, who had abandoned his father and indulged in quarrels, was furious. He couldn't argue with Xi Zimu, who was older than him, so he could only turn his anger to the center of the dispute. He rushed over and said fiercely:
"Come here and tell me. Nian Nian, does it look like you?"
