When Yu Yao first arrived, Song Jinshi was very happy.
He was the same age as Yu Yao, and he was also the son of his father's colleague. Most importantly, he was very likely to become a cop like him in the future.
Even though Yu Yao wasn't talkative when he first came to their house, Song Jinshi still kept chattering away with him.
He wanted to meet like-minded partners.
But this friend changed one weekend after his sister came home from school.
He would give his sister the chocolate he had kept hidden all day and couldn't bear to eat, and he would also give her the dolls he had won with her when they went out to win prizes.
He's even more proactive than his own younger brother.
However, young Song Jinshi didn't understand so many complicated things and thought very simply.
My sister also got along well with this friend, so in a way, their relationship took a step further!
On weekends, the group of them would play house together, and that was when Yu Yao talked the most.
When Xu Zhaozhao went to class again, Song Jinshi resumed her chattering ways, and Yu Yao couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
It's another weekend.
This weekend, Xu Zhaozhao didn't want to play house anymore; she wanted to have a picnic in the small park next door—and naturally, they wouldn't refuse her.
Three children, carrying picnic blankets and food prepared by their nanny, set up their picnic blankets on the lawn of the small park.
Before they even started eating, Xu Zhaozhao frowned and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
Yu Yao shook her head. Song Jinshi listened for a moment and exclaimed, "There's a kitten meowing!"
"right!"
Xu Zhaozhao then stood up and searched around, with Song Jinshi following along.
Having heard nothing, Yu Yao could only get up and search as well.
"Here it is!" Song Jinshi exclaimed as she found a kitten in the nearby bushes.
It was only a short time after it was born, and it looked like it had been abandoned; it was covered in dirt.
The kitten was no longer allowed to roam freely. Xu Zhaozhao picked up a picnic blanket and took the kitten home, where Song Zhiyu found a veterinarian to save its life.
I originally wanted to keep it at home, but the kitten kept wanting to run to the park, so in the end I kept the kitten at the park.
Yu Yao showed little interest in the kitten. After she started school, Song Jinshi took good care of the kitten, and she and Song Jinshi had more to talk about.
This continued until the summer vacation, when Xu Zhaozhao finally had time to spend with the kitten every day.
But she also noticed that something was wrong with Yu Yao.
This younger brother of hers, she seems to bump into him everywhere she goes. She sees him as soon as she comes out of the bathroom, she sees him drinking water in the hallway the first thing she sees when she wakes up, and he immediately hands her a fruit if she wants some but doesn't have a fork...
Xu Zhaozhao felt scared and gradually distanced herself from Yu Yao, while becoming even closer to Song Jinshi.
But one day, when Xu Zhaozhao went to the park again, she couldn't find the kitten and hurriedly called out to Song Jinshi.
Song Jinshi said sadly, "The kitten is lost and won't come back. I'll never see it again."
Xu Zhaozhao cried for a long time that day.
She was still thinking about the kitten, and when she finally emerged from her grief, she discovered that Yu Yao had already been taken back by his father.
From that point on, Yu Yao left no trace in her life.
...
After finishing speaking, Song Jinshi's cigarette had burned out, almost reaching the mouthpiece.
He stubbed out his cigarette and asked Xia Huai, somewhat amused, "Where do you think that cat went?"
In the past, she would have kicked him in the butt in this situation, but this time, Xia Huai chose to respond, "Did Yu Yao send him away?"
Song Jinshi shook his head slightly and replied, "He tortured and killed him."
"He brought the surgical tray to me. The kitten had been dismembered, its limbs and head scattered."
His tone was chillingly calm: "He told me to take my kitten and get out of here, and not to go near my sister. Otherwise, I'll be another kitten."
Xia Huai's eyes finally showed a change, and his brows furrowed.
Song Jinshi was only 6 years old at the time. What kind of psychological trauma did this cause to a 6-year-old child... Xia Huai dared not think about it.
I can't even imagine how 6-year-old Yu Yao could have developed such a distorted mentality.
"He's got shit for brains."
Song Jinshi shrugged indifferently, "He was punished that very night, and his father took him home."
So the moment Yu Yao returned to China, he thoroughly investigated his whereabouts and closely monitored his movements.
It's that little villa in the suburbs.
There were no villas there before; it was a shelter for stray cats. The villas were added after Yu Yao bought it.
As for why I bought a small villa in the suburbs... well, because I have a lot of cats.
He knew he had never stopped abusing cats and had come to enjoy it.
While Song Jinshi was lost in thought, Xia Huai stood up and hugged him.
His hands were cold—even though he acted nonchalantly, the damage this incident caused to his young mind was indelible.
"Why didn't you tell Zhaozhao?" Xia Huai asked.
"Because I misjudged him, thinking I could expose him before he made his move."
Song Jinshi reached out and hugged her back, "There's no need to tell you now."
He has been gathering evidence and has a lot of information about him; he just needs the right moment to expose it.
Unexpectedly, when Yu Yao heard the news that Xu Zhaozhao wanted to hold a wedding ceremony, it awakened all his hidden psychological distortions.
From the moment he saw the tray containing the kitten's corpse when he was six years old, he decided to bear it all himself.
It's all in the past now.
One less villain in the world.
"My sister is going to have a belated wedding."
Song Jinshi's hand had already wandered to her shoulder. "When are you coming home with me? Girlfriend?"
His response was a hard pinch on the butt...
...
Xu Zhaozhao returned home, not even bothering with dinner, as Gu Yulin dragged her to see the kitten.
He stared intently at the little calico baby in the cage.
"Mommy, can I touch it?"
He had never been around these small animals before, and was somewhat at a loss in front of the adorable kittens.
"Of course you can. You can even hug it."
Xu Zhaozhao squatted down, opened the cage, and took the kitten out and placed it in the cat bed.
Gu Yulin carefully reached out and touched the kitten's soft fur.
He wasn't even this nervous at the math competition.
This kitten is very docile, nestled quietly to be petted—otherwise it wouldn't be the last one.
So soft! So cute! Little kitty!!
Since it was dinnertime, Gu Yulin first poured cat food for the kitten before going to the dining table to eat.
He was thinking about the kitten, so he only ate a little bit of food and didn't eat much of the vegetables. Xu Zhaozhao still made sure he ate a full bowl of rice before letting him go play with the kitten.
Xu Zhaozhao nudged Gu Qingyan with her elbow. After he looked at her, Xu Zhaozhao asked, "Do you mind having another kitten at home?"
Why should I mind?
Gu Qingyan asked in return, and then placed the cooled tonic soup in front of Xu Zhaozhao.
He was overjoyed.
The son's attention was drawn to the kitten, and no one was competing with him for his wife anymore.
He should... thank the kitten!
