Chapter 47: Small milk cat

At 6 a.m. on Sunday, Qin Qing had already washed up and stood at the dining table.

Grandma Qin did not react at first, but when she came out of the kitchen, she was stunned when she saw Qin Qing’s white and silver sportswear.

“Tian Tian, you don’t have to go to school for self-study today?”

Qin Qing hesitated for two seconds before nodding.

“Yes, I’ve taken leave with my class teacher, Teacher Shen Liang. In the future, I won’t go to school on Sunday mornings every weekend.”

“Not going to school?”

Grandma Qin was stunned again, but she didn’t show any dissatisfaction. She just looked at Qin Qing’s dress strangely. “Then why are you so early and dressed so beautifully?”

“……”

Qin Qing, who had been at a loss for ten minutes about which sportswear to wear, lowered her head and looked at herself. She then avoided Grandma Qin’s gaze guiltily and walked toward the kitchen.

“How is this beautiful? I just wore sportswear ……”

Grandma Qin looked at Qin Qing thoughtfully for a while. After two seconds, she seemed to have thought of something and smiled.

“I don’t remember when you have ever taken the initiative to put on your sportswear and go for a run. Be honest, did someone ask you out for a run?”

“……”

Qin Qing secretly stuck out her tongue in her heart. 

After a while, she returned to the dining room with the porridge. It’s the one opposite ……”

“Oh, Little Yu!”

Before Qin Qing could finish, Grandma Qin agreed with a smile. She didn’t look surprised at all.

Qin Qing looked at Grandma Qin in a daze.

Grandma Qin put down the cutlery in her hand and instructed Qin Qing, “Young people, it’s only right to exercise and run. I always see that little boy, Xiao Yu, go out for morning exercises every morning. How could he be like pampered kids like you, like a flower in a greenhouse all day long. The wind would blow you down ……”

“……”

Qin Qing was stunned at first when she heard Grandma Qin praise him to the heavens. Then, she became expressionless.

It wasn’t until Grandma Qin finished talking two minutes later that Qin Qing added slowly, “Well, he said that my physical fitness is too poor and my resistance is severely lacking, so he wanted to drag me out to run and train with him in the future.”

“Aiyo, that’s really good!”

Grandma Qin clapped her hands.

“……” Qin Qing looked at Grandma Qin helplessly.

——

Grandma Qin’s attitude towards him had become really strange since Wen Yufeng had eaten in their house.

Because there was a sports activity after this, Qin Qing took a few bites of food and looked at the time, then, she walked out of the door under Grandma Qin’s nagging.

After closing the door behind her, Qin Qing looked at her watch.

6:25, it was 20 minutes earlier than the scheduled time.

Qin Qing thought with a grim face, this time that person wouldn’t appear earlier, right?

However, as soon as she turned into the middle of the T-shaped corridor, she saw the boy leaning against the wall.

The moment Qin Qing stepped into the corridor, the boy in the middle of her line of sight lowered his raised arm and turned around.

The man looked at the girl with an embarrassed look.

“Why are you…you came out so early?”

Wen Yufeng asked in a hoarse voice.

“……”

However, Qin Qing did not reply. Instead, she wrinkled her nose suspiciously and ran up to the nearest place to the boy.

Then, she stopped and tiptoed to sniff Wen Yufeng’s chest.

Wen Yufeng’s body stiffened.

After two seconds, he slowly lowered his gaze.

The boy’s eyes were black.

“You ……”

Before he could finish the second word, he met the girl’s gaze——

“Did you smoke again?”

Wen Yufeng: “……”

Qin Qing was so angry that her cheeks turned red. “Smoking is harmful to your health. I’ve said it so many times, but why are you still ……”

Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Qing bit her lower lip and her eyes were watery as she looked at Wen Yufeng.

After a few seconds of stalemate, she couldn’t take it anymore and twisted her body to walk back.

Wen Yufeng hurriedly reached out to pull her back.

“It’s my fault. I will try not to ——in the future”

“‘Try?” Qin Qing turned around and her face was still tight. “A gram of tobacco leaves is equivalent to one gram of nicotine. It can poison 300 rabbits or 500 rats, and a human body can be poisoned to death with 50 milligrams. But you said ‘Try your best’?”

“……”

Wen Yufeng sighed.

“I promise you, Tian Tian, I will never touch cigarettes again, okay?”

Qin Qing observed Wen Yufeng for a few seconds before asking slowly, “Really?”

Wen Yufeng slowly bent down and leaned into the girl’s ear. He said lazily, “As long as I have promised you, I won’t go back on my word even after death.”

Qin Qing stared blankly at Wen Yufeng.

This was the first time she had ever heard someone agree to something with such a vicious tone.

“Let’s go?”

Wen Yufeng stood up and looked down at her.

“……Okay.”

…………

The two of them went to a private club together. Qin Qing observed their attitudes towards Wen Yufeng. Clearly, this person was a frequent visitor here.

——

“Mr. Wen, should we start a few rounds of shooting training today?”

Wen Yufeng shook his head and said to the person who had received him, “I’m only doing some simple physical training today. I don’t need your help. I’ll take her there. You can withdraw first.”

“Okay, Mr. Wen. If you need anything, just let me know.”

“Yes.”

Just like that, Qin Qing was brought into a private training room by Wen Yufeng while she was in a half-daze manner

Although the training room wasn’t very large, the equipment was complete. Therefore, Qin Qing spent most of the morning in this training room. She followed the first stage of the physical training plan that Wen Yufeng had set up and spent it in a state of repeated fatigue and overlapping rest.

After the morning’s exercise was finally over, Qin Qing dragged her almost sore body back with Wen Yufeng.

“How do you feel?”

Wen Yufeng asked Qin Qing as soon as the taxi stopped at the entrance of Fu Lin Garden, and the two of them got out of the car.

Qin Qing looked confused. “I feel like my whole body is no longer mine.”

Wen Yufeng could not help but laugh softly. “That’s right, it’s good to be reborn.”

“……”

Qin Qing snorted at him and didn’t say anything.

The two of them walked back.

As they reached the stairs, Qin Qing stopped abruptly.

Wen Yufeng, who was following behind the girl, also stopped.

“What’s wrong?” He asked in confusion.

Qin Qing slightly wrinkled her face and raised her finger to her red lips. She gave a soft “shh “.

Within two seconds, Wen Yufeng understood why Qin Qing had stopped.

“Meow……”

A thin voice of a kitten rang out in a corner of the apartment building.

Wen Yufeng and Qin Qing looked over together.

In the corner of the collective mailbox of the apartment building was a small shoe box.

The cat cries they heard came from inside.

Qin Qing looked at Wen Yufeng strangely.

“Did I hear correctly?”

“It’s a cat. From the sound of it, it should be an underage kitten.”

“……”

Qin Qing’s eyes lit up.

——

Most of the girls in this world could not resist the temptation of a kitten or a puppy.

“Can I go over and take a look?”

Qin Qing’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Wen Yufeng. Her black and white eyes were filled with anticipation.

Facing this kind of gaze, Wen Yufeng felt that he had exhausted his entire life’s cruelty and probably couldn’t say a single “no”.

He nodded.

“Be careful,” he said. “Wild cats could be aggressive, and it may even have germs on its body. Don’t be scratched or bitten by it.”

“Yes, I’ll pay attention.”

Qin Qing carefully walked over.

When she reached the shoe box, she stopped and squatted down. She cautiously pressed a finger against the edge of the box and slowly pulled it up.

A weak slightly shrunken little milk cat hid in the box of litter and looked helplessly at Qin Qing.

“Meow ……”

It called out softly again.

Qin Qing finally could not hold back any longer and instinctively reached out to gently touch it.

Just as she reached halfway, she was grabbed by her wrist and lifted back.

“Ah ……”

Qin Qing was weightless and fell into the arms of someone behind her.

When she finally managed to balance herself, Qin Qing innocently looked up at the person who was towering above her head. 

That person’s expression was slightly solemn. “Didn’t I forbid you to touch it?”

“I can’t help it ……”

“You have to endure.”

Wen Yufeng spoke without any mercy. Then, he lowered his eyes and coldly glanced at the little kitten that was curled up in a ball.

“Looks dirty and should have been abandoned. It has probably been less than a month since it was born…What if it has bacteria or parasites on it?”

Qin Qing opened her eyes wide. She looked at the cat and then at Wen Yufeng. “How is it dirty? It’s so white, and it doesn’t even have any mottled hair on it.”

“You want to adopt it?”

“……”

Qin Qing nodded her head instinctively, and her movements were very strong. 

Wen Yufeng raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure that Grandma will agree to your adoption?”

Before Qin Qing could feel uncomfortable with this strange and intimate address, her attention was drawn to a cruel fact—

If she remembered correctly, Grandma Qin, who had always had a good temper, had always loved flowers and plants or goldfish, but when it came to cats and dogs…she was extremely cold.

Therefore, the possibility of having Grandma Qin agree to adopt a baby kitten home…was about zero.

Qin Qing was silent for two seconds. She seemed to have thought of something. When she raised her little face again, her beautiful almond eyes seemed to be soaked in morning dew.

She looked at Wen Yufeng unblinkingly.

“I want to keep it, can I keep it..in your home?”

Wen Yufeng: “…………”
