Where did the cat come from

Xie Jiaran had never raised a small animal, let alone seen such a small cat up close.

The sense of novelty was full as I looked at it all the way. It had a pair of soft ears, a small head, a furry body, four short paws, and a little tail that was wagging around.

It turns out that baby animals are a hundred times cuter than he had imagined.

"Meow~Woo~"

“Woo~ meow!”

The voice of the little kitten is sticky and sweet. When it calls, its eyes narrow and its mouth opens wide, revealing its tender red tongue. The long tail sound is so sweet that it makes people's ears soften.

Perhaps because there was no response, the kitten's voice became a little aggrieved, and it stretched out a paw to try to hook Xie Jiaran.

Unfortunately, it was too short and could not be hooked, and instead her pink pads were exposed.

Xie Jiaran took a deep breath and carefully slowed down his breathing.

The pen was placed on the table, and he tried to stretch out a hand and slowly move closer.

The kitten was happy, meowing and stretching out its paw to touch it, but just when it was about to touch it, the hand quickly retracted as if changing its mind.

"Meow?"

The cat tilted its head, its big eyes flashing with even greater confusion.

Xie Jiaran's avoidance was completely a conditioned reflex caused by his mysophobia.

Hesitantly looked at his own hand, then at the kitten, and after a few struggles, he tried to reach out and touch its head again.

When Liang Sunian came back from taking a shower, he saw this scene of a man and a cat staring at each other.

The kitten would occasionally wag its tail and scratch its claws, but Xie Jiaran, on the other hand, was completely still.

His right hand was raised in the air, half-closed, which vividly displayed his complex inner thoughts of the struggle between heaven and earth.

Liang Sunian laughed out loud without giving any face.

Xie Jiaran came back to his senses, withdrew his hand awkwardly, glanced at him quickly, pursed his lips and pretended to be calm: "I don't know which dormitory this kitten is from, it ran in when our door was not closed..."

"It's 205 downstairs. I just came back from there. I guess the little guy sneaked up with me when they weren't paying attention."

Liang Sunian came over, pinched the kitten's neck, lifted him up and held him in his arms. Xie Jiaran looked at him pinching the cat's paw and felt that he looked familiar for some reason.

"Do you know it?"

"Yes, I know him. He's my godson. His full name is Xiao Guoqing, and his nickname is Chanchan, which means greedy." Liang Sunian looked up at him and asked knowingly, "Want to touch him?"

Xie Jiaran said stubbornly: "Not bad."

I don't think so in particular, I just think...

"But it seems like it really wants to be touched by you."

Liang Sunian bent down and squatted in front of him, holding the food in his palm and handed it to him: "How about fulfilling my godson's little wish?"

"Meow~" As if it understood, it joined in.

Xie Jiaran couldn't resist the temptation and his hands began to move again.

Liang Sunian suppressed his laughter and encouraged him: "Come on, just stroke its fur from the forehead to the back. Its dad just gave it a bath and it has been kept in the dormitory. It is very clean, so feel free to stroke it."

Xie Jiaran was inexplicably a little nervous.

He clenched his palms tightly and slowly moved closer, until his fingertips finally landed on the kitten's furry head. The delicate and soft touch made him open his eyes slightly.

Chanchan finally got what he wanted and was touched by him. His throat made a gurgling sound and he was so comfortable that he squinted his eyes and turned his ears out.

Xie Jiaran felt that there might be some magical attraction to the kitten, which made him unable to let go once he touched it, and he touched it again and again.

Liang Sunian took the opportunity to push Chanchan a little closer, using the kitten to eat away at his rationality step by step: "Hug?"

"You haven't taken a shower yet, right? It's a good idea to take a shower after you're done holding me. Why don't you give it a try?"

The kitten twitched its ears and stretched out its two front paws towards him.

Xie Jiaran was bewitched by this man, one big and one small, without any stance on his part.

The way he held her was a little stiff and clumsy, and Liang Sunian had to teach him step by step. However, his usually cold eyes were now clearly flashing with joy.

Is this what it feels like to hold a kitten

He scratched the kitten's chin according to the method Liang Sunian taught him. He tilted his head back and enjoyed it comfortably for a while. Suddenly, he yawned, arched his back, hugged Xie Jiaran's face, and opened his mouth to bite his chin.

"!"

Xie Jiaran was startled and stepped back reflexively. He was accidentally scratched by the cat's milk teeth, causing a slight dull pain and he took a quick breath.

The next second, his chin was pinched and he was forced to look up.

In front of him was an enlarged image of Liang Sunian's face, with his brows knitted tightly together: "Did you bite it? Don't move, let me take a look."

He had just taken a shower, and his sudden approach made the air filled with the light scent of shower gel instantly envelope Xie Jiaran.

She freed one hand to hold his face, her fingertips were slightly warm, and the breath that hit Xie Jiaran's chin was also hot, spreading along his meridians, making that piece of skin quickly heat up.

The infection spreads all the way to the ear.

Xie Jiaran's eardrums buzzed and his brain quickly faded into chaos.

"No."

After a while, he unconsciously moved his Adam's apple and turned his head away before things got any weirder: "It didn't bite through. It didn't even use much force."

Liang Sunian retreated only after he was sure that he was not injured.

He knocked the kitten on the head in a reproachful manner, and gave it a proper lesson: "Godson, you are not a good boy. You can't bite like this even if you are pretty. Do you understand? Believe it or not, I will ask your real father to throw away your dried fish."

Xie Jiaran: “…”

"You're not angry, are you?" Liang Sunian finished teaching his son a lesson and then tried to comfort him: "Do you still want to hug me?"

Who would get mad at a kitten

Xie Jiaran shook his head, looking at the little kitten who didn't feel that he had done anything wrong and still had an innocent face. When Liang Sunian asked him if he still wanted to hold it, he silently closed his palms and held it closer to his arms.

He wanted to touch the cat's head again, but his head was pressed down by a big hand and rubbed several times.

Xie Jiaran was a little slow in raising his head, and the other party took advantage of the opportunity, messing around on his head for a while, and when he pulled back, he pinched the tip of his ear intentionally.

Liang Su Nian made up a legitimate reason for his itchy hands, and said seriously: "Have you learned it? You have to touch it like this, and the kitten will feel comfortable."

Yeah

Xie Jiaran was half-believing and half-doubting, and he touched her in the same way that he had just touched himself.

... ... It still feels a little strange.

He was clearly the one petting the cat, so why did he have the illusion that he was being petted

An untimely draft blew through the hall, carrying the half-finished test paper to the ground.

It was right at his feet. Liang Sunian picked it up and glanced at it casually before putting it back, raising his eyebrows.

That’s amazing! I only did a few questions, but the error rate was touchingly high.

Xie Jiaran was holding the cat and caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye. He only regretted not holding it down with a pen.

He wanted to pretend nothing happened, but Liang Sunian stared at him for a long time, so the action of petting the cat gradually became stiff.

"I am a student of liberal arts." He said this after a long pause.

Mathematics, physics and chemistry are my weaknesses, so it's normal that I can't do them. It's not funny at all.

“Well, this is indeed difficult.”

Liang Sunian shook the test paper and said seriously, "Not to mention you, even I, a science student, find it very difficult to read it. It's amazing that you got so many correct answers. It's amazing and worth encouraging."

It was still the tone of coaxing a child, but Xie Jiaran failed to notice anything was wrong at the first moment.

Well, he had to admit that he was indeed fooled.

So when Liang Sunian offered to explain it to him, he accepted it without hesitation.

"... ... So in a correct division, the 'parent term' and the 'child term' have a genus-species relationship in extension, while the 'child terms' and the 'child terms' have a completely different relationship. The two cannot be confused. Do you understand?"

This is the second time he has explained the same knowledge point.

Unfortunately, the only student present was still in a daze.

Her eyes were filled with deep confusion and bewilderment, and she nodded her head despite his inquiring gaze. She said "I understand" in a very calm but unconfident manner, and she didn't know whether she was lying to him or to herself.

Liang Sunian suddenly remembered what he had heard from a classmate in the same grade.

They said that Xie the school beauty was pretty, but unfortunately she was soulless and cold and boring.

He tapped the pen, thinking that if he encountered this again next time, he would have to refute it properly.

How can it be boring? It's so cute that it's almost heavenly.

"That's good to know."

He said, and then, in the slight annoyance of Xie Jiaran who thought he would not be discovered, he added slowly: "But this explanation is a bit too complicated. I will tell you a simpler one."

"You are not a major in this field, so you don't need to understand so much. Just memorize it to pass the exam."

... ...

Liang Sunian was very patient. After finishing half of the test paper, he checked the time and put down his pen. "Today is unfortunate. I have another class in the evening, so I have to leave first. When did your teacher say to hand in this test paper?"

Xie Jiaran said honestly: "Before class on Friday."

"So today is Wednesday." Liang Sunian calculated in his mind and asked him, "Do you have classes tomorrow afternoon?"

Xie Jiaran shook his head and said no.

Liang Sunian was satisfied: "It just so happens that I don't have one either. I'll go to the library tomorrow afternoon to tell you. Li Tang and the others in the dormitory want to play games and it's too noisy."

Before leaving, he picked up the cat from Xie Jiaran's desk and said, "Let's go, son. Godfather will take you to find your real father~"

As soon as I reached the door, someone called me back.

The hem of his clothes was blown by the wind sneaking in from the balcony. Xie Jiaran stood there looking at him, and spoke every word with concentration and seriousness: "Liang Sunian, thank you."

"I told you, why are you being so polite to me?"

Liang Su Nian smiled casually, pinched the greedy little paw and waved at him: "Let's go."

I turned a corner at the stairs and arrived at the door of dormitory 205. Xiao Chi was the only one inside, playing games enthusiastically, and he didn't even notice that the cat had been lost for such a long time.

Liang Sunian was speechless.

He rolled his eyes and walked in, putting the cat on his keyboard and said, "You are such an interesting father. You don't even care when your son runs away?"

"ah?"

Xiao Chi took off his headphones blankly and pinched the little head of Chanchan: "Did it just run away? Where did it run to?"

Liang Sunian wanted to say that he went upstairs to find me, but when the words came to his lips, he thought of something, narrowed his eyes, and calmly changed his words: "I'm not sure, I guess he went to find other kittens to play with."

"What? Other kittens?"

Xiao Chi asked with a question mark on his face: "Besides me, is there anyone else in this building who has a kitten in the dormitory?"

"Yes." Liang Sunian said leisurely, "Not only that, but they are also very cute."

Xiao Chi's father's eyes flared up, and he said unconvincedly: "How cute! Can he be as cute as us?"

Liang Sunian thought about it and nodded.

Xiao Chi immediately rolled his eyes: "Tsk, I don't believe it, my son is the cutest in the world."

Liang Sunian leaned aside and watched: "Even if she's cute, you need to teach her a lesson. Don't always bite people when you see her."

"Is there?"

Xiao Chi hummed and teased Chanchan, poking his butt and pinching his tail: "Son, you didn't fight with other kittens, did you? You are still a baby, and children are not allowed to fight, you know?"

Liang Sunian: "No fight."

Xiao Chi: "Then what do you mean by chewing or not chewing?"

Certain images flashed through Liang Sunian's mind, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"yes."

He said: "Your Chanchan is bullying the other kitten unilaterally because he is gentle, good-tempered and likes the other kitten."
