Chapter 70 Nian Nian was invited at the same time
"Baby……"
Nian Nian repeated it hesitantly, her eyes reflecting the four kittens huddled on the belly of their orange cat mother for warmth.
The mother cat was very quiet, a thick layer of dry leaves beneath her, her fur clinging to grass scraps. Perhaps tired, she blinked slowly, curled up motionless. She seemed accustomed to Jiang Duan's attention and showed no sign of stress.
"Oh, all they gave birth to are little orange kittens." Shi Guilin leaned over to Nian Nian and looked at the video together. "Where is this?"
Cheng Huili's voice drifted over: "This orange cat often comes to the corner of the back garden. She hasn't been here for a while, and Du An kept talking about her. We thought she moved, but now I think she's pregnant."
"Pregnant?" Nian Nian's gaze followed the camera's movement, from the mother cat to the newborn kittens. He wanted to ask what pregnancy meant, but his attention was diverted by the kittens, who couldn't even open their eyes. "So tiny. Papa, kitty, your nose is red."
The skin on the tip of the nose is as tender as QQ candy.
"Yes. All newborn kittens are like this." Shi Guilin looked at the mother cat and the kittens, his eyes showing tenderness. He thought of the time when he had just adopted Nian Nian.
"I plan to take this litter of kittens home," Cheng Huili said. "The mother cat must be exhausted after giving birth, and she'll have to take care of the kittens during this period. It's definitely better for me to take them home. Coincidentally, I see Duan likes kittens too."
For the first time, Jiang Duan did not avoid expressing his emotions, and a faint "hmm" came vaguely from the speaker.
"Wow. One, two, three..." Nian Nian couldn't count and kept expressing her envy, "That's a lot, short brother."
The Shi family only has one puppy, Yuanyuan, and Jiang Duan is going to have five kittens.
Jiang Duan still didn't turn the camera back to his face. The air was quiet for a few seconds, with the occasional meow of a kitten. He once again extended his invitation: "Niannian, do you want to come to my house to see the kittens?"
"Yes! Nian Nian, let's see!" Nian Nian, who had never seen a kitten before, immediately agreed. After Da Du agreed, he turned around and looked at Shi Guilin with an expression full of expectation, "Papa, Nian Nian, go."
Shi Guilin couldn't stand the little guy's coquettishness, and he simply didn't want to go to work, so he agreed to Nian Nian's request: "Okay, let's go right away. I'll call the driver. Sister Cheng, Nian Nian and I are sorry to bother you."
He jokingly informed Cheng Huili in advance.
"Okay, feel free to come over. By the time you get here, I'll have moved the kittens into the house." Cheng Huili glanced at Jiang Duan, who had a faint smile on his face, and teased, "Duan has been missing Nian lately."
Jiang Duan turned around and looked at Cheng Huili, his lips moved, but in the end he couldn't utter a word and turned his head back.
Cheng Huili looked at the red spot behind his ear, smiled without saying a word, and was happy in her heart that Jiang Duan's autism had improved.
"Brother Short, do you miss Nian Nian?" Nian Nian's cheeks dimpled. "Nian Nian misses you too."
The other end of the line fell silent for a moment. Nian Nian thought her phone was broken, so she shook it up and down.
After just a few swaying steps, Jiang Duan's unnatural voice rang out: "If you miss me, come quickly. I'm hanging up."
There was almost no time left, and the video was disconnected with a beep. Nian Nian looked at the chat box that popped up and was stunned.
Shi Guilin smiled and poked Nian Nian's dazed face. The poked little fellow pulled away from the video, his dark grape eyes turned and stared at Shi Guilin: "Papa."
"Yeah." He answered Nian Nian's doubts sympathetically, "It died quickly because your brother Duan was shy.
"Shy? Why?"
"No reason," Shi Guilin explained patiently, "Everyone's shyness is different. For example, your brother Duan and Mu Mu are very different. Have you ever seen Mu Mu shy?"
Nian Nian's mind raced. He had already attended Xi Zhu's introductory classes with Xi Zimu several times, and still hadn't found any trace of Xi Zimu's shyness in any corner.
He recalled for a while, and finally shook his head: "No."
Xi Zimu always said everything as if it was a matter of course and was not stingy in expressing his feelings.
Speak of the devil, and here he is! Shi Guilin's cell phone rang again in the quiet tea room. This time it was Xi Zhu calling.
Shi Guilin: "Hello."
"Hello?" The voice on the other end was very childish.
Shi Guilin immediately handed the phone to Nian Nian: "Looking for you. It's Mu Mu."
The little guy is busier with interpersonal relationships than an adult.
During the previous video call, Nian Nian held the phone straight in front of her with both hands. This time, it was a phone call, and Nian Nian imitated the adults and held the phone close to her ear.
Unlike adults, Nian Nian does not hold the phone to her ear with her head still. Instead, she holds the phone in the same position against her chest, tilts her head and puts her ear against the phone in front of her.
Shi Guilin looked at him with a smile.
"Mumu, it's Nian Nian."
"Niannian, are you free today? Can you come to my house and play?" Xi Zimu was bored again. He had just moved to Hai City not long ago, and his best and most familiar friend was only Niannian, so he contacted him subconsciously.
Nian Nian was stunned for a moment and solemnly refused: "Not today. Nian Nian is very busy."
