The day after the military training ended, Xia Zhiye and Song Yan took Song Xiaoxi home.
In order to match Song Yan’s majestic beauty, Xia Zhiye originally wanted to choose a pure-bred ragdoll cat1this little beauty:
.
But Song Yan was attracted by the tiny British shorthair orange tabby kitten2this little cutie:
– it had big, round, teary eyes, and it was rather fluffy too. He fell in love at first sight.
When it whimpered pitifully and nuzzled Song Yan’s fingers, Song Yan looked at it with an expression of a melting heart.
At that time, Xia Zhiye didn’t realize the seriousness of bringing home a cute and beautiful green tea3two-faced bitch, basically. He just thought that as long as Song Yan liked the kitty, it would be fine. So he went to pick up Song Xiaoxi as soon as he had time.
When Song Xiaoxi arrived home, the huge three-story luxurious cat villa, cat climbing frame, various cat toys, and the golden retriever Xia Daye who would be bullied by it were all waiting for it quietly.
Song Yan carefully carried the kitty out and just put it in the cat bed. Then, the puppy Xia Daye ran down from the third floor quickly with his short legs, all the way to the cat bed, where it suddenly stopped. The puppy then began to circle around the cat bed, even sniffing it – it seemed that he really wanted to make this new little guy its new friend.
However, the new kitten ignored it completely. It just meowed tenderly, then nuzzled the back of Song Yan’s hand gently. Its droopy eyes looked very pitiful, and it looked at Song Yan as if he was the only person in its heart.
Whenever Song Yan stood up and left, it would stumble and run behind him on its four short legs. As soon as Song Yan stopped and turned around, it would immediately curl its tail, as if it was wronged, and let out very pitiful-sounding meows. Clearly, Song Yan was guilty of the crime of abandonment.
As everyone knows, Song Yan was the most gullible and soft-hearted person in the world.
Thus, Song Xiaoxi, with its innate ability to act coquettish, clingy, and pitiful – coupled with its chubby little body and big round eyes, successfully occupied the extremely coveted position of the second highest status in the family. It occupied Song Yan’s bedroom, which originally belonged to Xia Zhiye and later to Xia Daye.
At first, Xia Zhiye tried to tell Song Yan that Song Xiaoxi was already a mature kitten of two months old and did not need to be accompanied all the time. Then Song Xiaoxi performed a pitiful act, tripping on its own stubby legs and falling off from the bed to the carpet.
Then Song Yan kicked Xia Zhiye off the bed, because he was worried that Xia Zhiye was too heavy and might crush Song Xiaoxi if he turned over at night.
Xia Zhiye firmly believed that at the moment when he walked out of Song Yan’s room, holding his pillow, he saw Song Xiaoxi strut its tail at him proudly.
This nasty little goblin.
After Xia Zhiye slept with Xia Daye in his arms for a whole week, he felt it necessary to prove to Song Yan – between him and the little green tea who was sticking to him almost all the time, who the real Empress of the house is.
So that night, when Song Yan was in the shower, Zhu Tong seized the opportunity to grab the kitten, which was constantly scratching the bathroom door trying to get in. He then carefully put Song Xiaoxi on the cat bed, which was located next to the dog bed.
With long strides – which was something that the short-legged Song Xiaoxi could never match in its life – Xia Zhiye quickly rushed back to the bedroom, locked the door, and then barged into the bathroom, serving Song Yan like the proper Empress he was.
More than once, to be exact.
When Song Yan was carried back to the bed by Xia Zhiye with red knees and various hickeys, he kicked Xia Zhiye as hard as he could. With a hoarse voice, he complained, “Were you bitten by a dog today? You’re like a mad dog.”
Feeling the soft kick against his body, Xia Zhiye lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of Song Yan’s eye. With a gentleness and innocence even more delicate than Song Xiaoxi’s, he tried to hide his grievances and whispered softly, “You barely paid attention to me this week.”
During the day, they both were busy with classes. During the night, Song Yan was occupied with the two little ones. Occasionally, he would also help Song Lele with his homework. Even his bedroom was occupied by Song Xiaoxi.
After a brief thought, Song Yan agreed that he had indeed neglected Xia Zhiye this past week.
Thinking of their child, Song Yan felt a little guilty. As a form of compensation, he lifted his head and lightly kissed the corner of Xia Zhiye’s mouth. “When Song Xiaoxi grows a little older and can sleep on its own, it will be better… Wait–”
Song Yan seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, “Where is Song Xiaoxi? Shouldn’t it be in the room?”
Xia Zhiye pretended not to know. “Maybe it was stolen by Xia Daye.”
“?”
From the moment Xia Daye brought the puppy home, he showed great interest in Song Xiaoxi, but Song Xiaoxi was always arrogant, only greeted the puppy with its butt. How could it be stolen away by Xia Daye?
Unless……
“Xia Zhiye! Did you throw it downstairs?” Song Yan imagined the pitiful and helpless scene of Song Xiaoxi being thrown downstairs by Xia Zhiye, so he kicked Xia Zhiye again.
Then he got out of bed in his pajamas, put on his slippers, and walked downstairs, saying viciously as he walked, “If anything happens to the cat, I’ll take care of you…”
But then, he stopped speaking.
The threat came to an abrupt end because Song Yan, standing at the corner of the stairs, saw a kitty and a puppy in the corner of the living room.
Song Xiaoxi seemed to feel that it was abandoned by its father. The kitten laid pitifully in the cat bed with its tail drooping. Its big round eyes were wet, all pitiful and lonely.
Xia Daye kept running around it, tail wagging as it sniffed the small creature. Song Xiaoxi did not turn around and give it a cold cat butt as soon as it passed by like it did in the past, nor did it cling to it and act like a spoiled child. The kitten just lay there in frustration, not moving a muscle.
As a smart and gentle golden retriever puppy, Xia Daye soon discovered something.
It was only about one month older than Song Xiaoxi, so it didn’t quite know how to make Song Xiaoxi happy. It just turned around and buried its head in the dog bed, picked out all of its favorite balls, frisbees, and teething sticks, put them neatly in front of Song Xiaoxi, and then carefully pushed them forward.
However, Song Xiaoxi just turned its head dejectedly.
Xia Daye seemed to have no idea why this small ball of fluff didn’t like its favorite toys. The puppy sat there, sweeping the ground gently with his tail, and looked at Song Xiaoxi with its dark, innocent round eyes. After looking for a while, it seemed to have finally come to a conclusion. Xia Daye stood up, stuck out his tongue, and licked Song Xiaoxi’s little head.
Gently, softly, and with caution, showing its affection.
Song Xiaoxi had never been licked on the head before, and the comfortable yet strange feeling made it raise its head.
Xia Daye immediately wagged its tail happily, stretched out its paw and pushed the pile of his favorite toys in front of Song Xiaoxi, as if waiting for Song Xiaoxi to play with them.
But Song Xiaoxi only raised its furry head and looked at it for three seconds, before lowering it back. Then, it closed its eyes, clearly showing rejection.
Xia Daye seemed not to notice, and licked it again happily, then pushed the toy towards the kitten.
After repeating this several times, Song Xiaoxi finally couldn’t stand it anymore. The kitten meowed impatiently and fiercely, trying to drive the puppy away.
However, the little golden-haired puppy only thought that the little creature was finally willing to pay attention to it. The puppy tilted its head, spun around in joy, and kept wagging its furry little tail in the air, swaying in front of the kitten. Its temptation was no less than that of a ball of wool.
The arrogant little kitten’s instinct was piqued. It stretched out its evil little claws and slapped the tail hard, but it missed because the tail was wagging too fast.
So the kitten raised its paw again, but missed again.
It lifted its paw up again, and missed again.
For the third time, it was still another miss.
After a few times, the competitive kitten became enraged. It stood up fiercely, then jump to chase the golden retriever’s wagging tail.
As a dog, it could not understand the kitten’s thoughts at all. It thought that this little furry creature treated chasing as a game just like a silly dog – simply put, the little kitten wanted to play!
So it happily ran around the sofa, darting around quickly.
When Song Xiaoxi saw the tail it was chasing run away, it could only run after it.
But the kitten’s entire body was not even as long as the golden retriever puppy’s tail, and it was spoiled by Song Yan. Normally, Song Yan carried the kitten around to many places, so it hardly needed to walk on its own. Because of that, it still stumbled during this kind of quick movement.
Fortunately, the little golden retriever was very considerate. Every time it ran a certain distance, it would stop and wait for the kitten. When it saw that it had caught up with it, the puppy would continue running forward. It ran to the stairs and skillfully stepped with its extremely short legs compared to Song Xiaoxi. It ran to the second floor in a few steps. When it turned around, it found that the little kitten could not catch up.
Could it be that the furry creature was lost? The little golden retriever ran downstairs in a hurry. When it reached the corner of the first floor, it saw the kitten squatting in front of the stairs, tentatively raising its paw, as if it was scared, curious, uneasy yet expectant.
Xia Daye tilted its head and watched quietly. The puppy wanted to go up the stairs but didn’t dare to. Song Xiaoxi watched him for a full ten seconds, and then it seemed to have finally figured something out and ran down a few steps. The puppy ran behind Song Xiaoxi, gently bit it by the scruff, and lifted it up a few steps.
Then the puppy demonstrated extremely slowly how to climb the stairs, stopped beside Song Xiaoxi, and nudged it with his head.
Song Xiaoxi was a very smart little kitten. It guessed what Xia Daye was doing and tried to imitate it. The kitten stretched out its front paws, climbed up the steps, and then gently kicked his hind legs and successfully jumped to the next step.
But because its legs were too short, it only jumped to the edge of the steps and was about to roll down. The golden-haired puppy quickly used its head to hold it up, then gently pushed it inward, and finally licked it as if to comfort and reward it.
The kitten felt safe and mustered up the courage to climb another step.
Step by step, the kitten became more proficient.
When it finally reached the corner, it turned around twice happily, its tail standing up proudly as if it had discovered a new continent.
When it was happy, the golden-haired puppy was even happier. It gently arched its head and flipped it to the ground, then happily licked the kitten’s belly.
Song Xiaoxi was so comfortable that it squinted its eyes, its ears became airplane ears, its whole body was filled with happiness and comfort.
The already cheerful little golden retriever became even happier, happily taking out all its fun and delicious things, letting the kitten chase its tail, slapping it on the face and stepping on its furry back.
When the kitten was finally tired and fell asleep, the puppy carefully carried it back to its nest and put it in the innermost part of the nest. Xia Daye then laid on the outside and used its tail to hold the kitten tightly to his side before he closed his eyes and fell asleep obediently.
A puppy of three months old and a kitten of two months old were sleeping quietly, snuggling each other.
It was extremely adorable.
“Are you dogs so shameless?”
After leaning on the railing and observing the cat-dog pair, Song Yan asked. His tone was full of amusement with a hint of disgust.
Xia Zhiye satisfiedly wrapped his arms around Song Yan’s waist from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder, and lazily chuckled, “Without my shameless dog, how could your little kitten make friends? But it looks like from now on, Song Xiaoxi finally won’t have to monopolize my bed anymore. Otherwise, I was considering putting up a ‘No Entry’ sign made of gold foil on your door.”
Song Yan glanced at him with disdain. “Why are you jealous of a two month old kitten?”
Xia Zhiye asked him rationally, “If there was a creature that wanted to occupy me for a whole week and you couldn’t see me every night, wouldn’t you be jealous?”
Song Yan responded with a simple “Ha” and a disdainful roll of the eyes, “Be a mature and rational man. I won’t do anything childish like being jealous.”
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go back to his room.
But just then, a ding-dong sound came – it was Xia Zhiye’s cell phone in his pajamas.
Who would send a WeChat message to Xia Zhiye in the dead of night?
Song Yan lowered his eyes subconsciously.
Xia Zhiye was not shy about it. He entered the password within Song Yan’s sight, unlocked his phone, and checked WeChat messages.
After seeing clearly that the WeChat profile picture was that of a very beautiful girl, Song Yan’s eyes instantly turned cold.
When he saw that the way he addressed him was “Dear junior brother~”, Song Yan began to recall where he put the dagger worth 170,000 yuan that Song Minghai bought back then.
As he thoroughly read the message from the other party, [Junior, our club is planning to organize a dance party next week, and we need to rehearse in advance for a week. So, would you like to be my dance partner~?] Song Yan directly kicked Xia Zhiye hard and gritted his teeth, saying, “Scumbag! Tonight, go sleep in the guest room!!!”
Xia Zhiye, who was still trying to remember who this senior was: “……?”
Where is the mature and rational Song Daxi? !
Why forced him to sleep in the guest room again?!
“Wife! Let me explain!!!”
