After the calico cat was adopted from the pet hospital, it quickly became a member of the Mei Youyuan Big Three family.
However, as a stray cat that has been outside for many years, Sanhua seems to have become accustomed to living alone. It either rests or eats, drinks and sleeps every day.
Another interesting point is that this calico cat seems to be very polite. For fear of dirtying the house, it is unwilling to sleep in the cat bed in the living room and would rather sleep in the corner outside on the balcony. Xia Yuan and the others had no choice but to move the cat bed outside.
And because of the calico cat's cold and reserved personality, Xia Yuan gave it a very noble name, "Niangniang".
The arrival of the Queen did not make the house busy, but it significantly increased Xia Yuan and Mei Fang's anticipation of returning home.
One of them is Xia Yuan, an open cat slave. As soon as he came back, he greeted the Empress and served her to pet the cat. The other is Mei Fang, a hidden cat slave, who stood by while Xia Yuan was petting the cat, and occasionally joined Xia Yuan in petting the Empress.
Perhaps because she knew how much her owner had done to raise her, she did not mind Xia Yuan and Mei Fang's wanton caressing. She would only suddenly run away when they tried to be picked up.
"Ah Fang, look, touch the queen's chin and she's purring loudly! The book says this is a sign that cats feel very comfortable."
"Yes, yes... Don't stroke her too hard. My queen may look well behaved, but a stray cat can be very ferocious when it gets angry."
Mei Fang said as he pushed Xia Yuan's hand away and demonstrated to her, "You have to be as gentle as I am."
"Then again, is the queen really a stray cat? Why do I feel like she's very familiar with these household things, especially picking up cat litter, she seems to be very good at it..."
"In fact, it could be a cat that was abandoned by its previous owner or got lost."
"I think it's more likely that it got lost. If it was abandoned by its owner, it probably wouldn't be as close to humans as it is now."
Xia Yuan and Mei Fang were squatting outside the balcony like elementary school students, stroking their empress and chatting. At this moment, Lin Youxi had just finished preparing dinner, and seeing the two people enjoying themselves on the balcony, she felt a little funny in her heart.
"Okay... both of you, come over and eat, and go wash your hands."
"Here I come."
Although the queen is easy to masturbate, for Mei Fang, his wives' words come first. He stood up and washed his hands in the sink. Looking at the sumptuous meal made by Lin Youxi, he immediately praised her and said, "Our Xibao is so great. She made so many delicious dishes today."
"No matter how many delicious dishes you cook, you will eventually get tired of them, just like now, aren't you tired of the old and fascinated by the new?"
Mei Fang hugged Lin Youxi and lifted her up, shaking her around, greedily inhaling the scent from her body.
"How could that be? Petting a cat is just a new lifestyle, but petting our Xibao is a lifelong thing."
"You're just sweet-talking."
Ever since they got a cat at home, the two of them had fallen into a cat-stroking craze, which made Lin Youxi, who was not that crazy, seem a little out of place.
But Mei Fang would not ignore Lin Youxi just because of his obsession with cats. Lin Youxi's original feeling of being ignored was also eliminated by Mei Fang's occasional active intimacy.
Looking back over the past decade since his rebirth, the reason why Mei Fang's mission of balancing the two sides has achieved such successful results today is closely related to his firm and unwavering determination to achieve his goals.
Although he is now only five years older than he was before his rebirth, Mei Fang has already spent more than 40 years in his life.
Although he was reliving his youth, for him, after going through the process of making up for many regrets, he could more clearly realize that having two lovers who could accompany each other for a lifetime is a blessing that many people could never achieve in several lifetimes.
This awareness makes him regard the relationship between three people as the top priority no matter what age he is.
Of course, this topic went a little off topic. After Mei Fang and Lin Youxi finished being intimate, they called out to remind Xia Yuan to come over and wash their hands and eat.
"Got it! Right away!"
"Stop looking at Yuanyuan there. If you don't come over to eat, the food Youxi made will get cold."
"Let me jerk off for a while..."
Seeing that Xia Yuan was still stubborn, Mei Fang stepped forward and knocked on Xia Yuan's head.
"Don't cling to me like that. It'll make the cat annoyed."
At this time, the Empress also bent her body and stretched, looking very sleepy. Xia Yuan immediately stopped and stood up. Still reluctantly thinking about it, he was dragged by Mei Fang to wash his hands and go to the table to eat.
"Oh, yeah... the doctor said before that the queen is almost due. I feel like she's going to give birth in the next two days. Should we leave someone at home to watch over her?"
"No, generally speaking, cats have strong survival abilities and can give birth to babies on their own, unless they encounter a very rare dystocia."
Lin Youxi was very interested in this little-known fact that Mei Fang knew. "So, only humans are the most vulnerable when they are pregnant. It seems that one person can't do it at all."
"I just feel that Niangniang is very strong. No matter if she is abandoned by a bad owner or a bad cat, she will live bravely and strongly with her baby."
"Does Yuanyuan admire such a strong mother?"
"Well, I admire it but I think I can do it too."
“Is this true or false?”
While Lin Youxi was eating, he joked with Xia Yuan:
"Here you can also imagine a scenario as a human being. One day you become pregnant with Ah Fang's baby, but because you are addicted to petting cats, Ah Fang and I take advantage of you oversleeping one day and run away, leaving you here to raise little Yuanbao by yourself. Do you think you have the courage to do this?"
…
Xia Yuan tried to imagine this scene in his mind, and suddenly the food in the bowl lost its fragrance, and he couldn't swallow the meat in his mouth. As he thought about it, he glared at Mei Fang angrily:
"Afang, why did you abandon me?"
"Why, why..."
After Xia Yuan muttered a few words, he really got into the grief and anger. He stared at Mei Fang with tears in his eyes, which made Mei Fang speechless.
"Oh... please don't get so caught up in the drama, okay? How could I possibly abandon you?"
"Well, it's not impossible... After we have a baby and I'm old, I'll become a yellow-faced woman, and you'll change your mind and like other young and beautiful women... You're a big boss, and you have such good skills, there must be a lot of women who like you..."
"By that time, I won't be that powerful anymore!"
Mei Fang said as he quickly went up to touch Xia Yuan to comfort her, "Anyway, don't think about so many random things..."
"I just want to think about it."
Xia Yuan rubbed his eyes and said, "Anyway, I'm very sad now. Ah Fang, you have to be responsible for me."
"I will take responsibility! I will definitely take responsibility for you."
Mei Fang hugged Xia Yuan, kissed her, hugged her and lifted her up high, and it took him a long time to comfort her.
At the same time, the Three-Flower Goddess outside the balcony squinted her eyes from time to time and looked at the scene inside the house. There seemed to be a different kind of light in her pupils.
Xia Yuan’s cat life didn’t last long, and soon Sanhua Niangniang began to show more signs of due date.
Because it was said that cats don't want people to see them giving birth to kittens, otherwise they will hide the kittens, so Mei Fangxiayuan made a big cardboard box for the queen to hide in when giving birth; while Lin Youxi focused on preparing nutritious supplementary food for the cat during pregnancy, so that the queen would have enough strength to give birth to the baby.
Just like that, with day-by-day anticipation, the cry of new life was finally born in the home of the Mei Youyuan Big Three, and many cute little kittens appeared in the cardboard box of Sanhua Niangniang.
"One, two, three, four... five, six, that's a lot, six kittens were born at once!"
"Good boy, this guy is better at carrying water than me."
Lin Youxi couldn't help but poke Mei Fang when he heard his sigh, "If we are not from the same family, we will not enter the same door, isn't that the case?"
Niangniang became very weak after giving birth to the kittens. In addition to helping take care of the kittens, Mei Youyuan also helped take care of the weak Niangniang. After another week of taking care of her, Niangniang regained her former spirit and became as light as a swallow, even more active than when she first came to the family.
While being busy, Xia Yuan also feels infinitely happy. She even generously shares her experiences and lessons in raising cats with everyone during the live broadcast.
However, such days did not last long. After the kittens were able to open their eyes and move, she suddenly disappeared from home one day.
Because the empress herself was not the type to run around or play naughty, Xia Yuan and the others were used to locking the doors and windows at first, but later on they didn't pay much attention to it. Who would have thought that it would suddenly run away in such an environment
At first everyone thought that the Empress was hiding somewhere to rest. They searched the house but couldn't find her, nor could they hear her snoring.
Afterwards, everyone searched around the community again. Later, Mei Fang began to post missing cat notices according to Xia Yuanlin Youxi's suggestions, but she never received any record of finding the Niangniang.
Xia Yuan had been feeling distraught these past few days when she couldn't find her mother, because she had spent a lot of effort in raising cats. With the persuasion and guidance of Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, she calmed down a little. Because the kittens were crying with hunger, Xia Yuan and the others could only focus on feeding the kittens.
They went to the supermarket to buy goat milk powder to make milk bottles, and started the life of a wet nurse in advance, and then waited for the return of the mother.
A week passed, the cats grew stronger day by day, but the queen never showed up.
Whenever Xia Yuan thought of this, he would feel sad and sigh:
"Obviously, her cubs are still at our house, why did she just run away without saying a word, leaving them behind? Her babies are still so young, how could she bear to abandon them?"
Mei Fang thought for a moment, "Maybe they think we are a family worthy of their trust? The children will have a better life with us, and they think raising another one would be a burden to us... or something like that."
However, Lin Youxi didn't think so. "Because the queen herself is a stray cat, she is used to living a free life by herself, so she thinks that after giving birth to the cubs, she has completed her mission of reproducing offspring and can return to her original life, right?"
“But I’m really sad…”
Xia Yuan lay in Mei Fang's arms and acted like a spoiled child, "We take such good care of it, why doesn't the queen want to stay with us... Isn't it happier to have a warm home here than to wander outside?"
"Cats aren't difficult animals to tame."
Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... maybe it's not that it doesn't miss the life here?"
"It's not that I don't miss it..."
"I've seen and heard before that when a cat knows it's about to die, it seems to leave its owner and find a quiet place to die quietly... something like that."
"That's even worse than the Empress yearning for a free and easy life all by herself."
Xia Yuan shook his head and said, "If that's the case, I'd rather ask the Queen to be more selfish and pursue the life she wants... It's too sad for a cat to die alone."
After listening to Xia Yuan's sigh, Lin Youxi couldn't help but sigh:
"Which do you think is more sad: dying with your loved ones missing you, or living alone without all your loved ones?"
Xia Yuan thought about it, and then said without hesitation, "It should be the latter. If it's the former, although I will feel sad when I die, I won't be the one to say goodbye. I can still see my descendants, or my relatives and friends are all living well, and everyone misses me... In this way, I won't have so many regrets even if I die."
"But, living alone is..."
Xia Yuan paused, "There is a huge sadness that is hard to describe."
Lin Youxi smiled and nodded, then looked at Mei Fang beside her:
"What does Alfang think about this?"
"Me..."
Mei Fang frowned and thought for a while, then thought, "Yuanyuan and I have similar views... Being able to witness the inheritance of life with one's own eyes, this is the meaning of apoptosis."
"Ah Fang suddenly brought out the arguments of scholars and experts, and talked about cell apoptosis in biology again, right? Disgusting..."
"Oh, I suddenly think this sentence is very cool. I can't pretend."
Seeing Mei Fang and Xia Yuan making a fuss beside him, Lin Youxi enjoyed the atmosphere and didn't disturb them until the end when he suddenly said:
"If, when we grow old, one of us dies before the other two—"
"Yes! Bah! Why are you suddenly saying something so unlucky? It's really unlike you."
Xia Yuan said as he slapped Lin Youxi on the mouth, "My mom said that if you wipe it like this, it won't count."
After Lin Youxi finished his pooh-poohing in coordination with Xia Yuan, he continued:
"But, things like that always happen, don't they? I just want to hear what you think."
Just when Xia Yuan remained silent, Mei Fang suddenly answered:
"I think if there's no way to save it, I might want to die with it, haha."
"A-Afang?"
Xia Yuan looked at the beloved beside him in surprise, "Are you... serious?"
Mei Fang nodded gently, "Because no matter if it's a world without Yuanyuan or a world without Youxi, I can't accept either one."
“That’s not the point of me being in this position right now.”
Mei Fang, who has lived a new life, firmly believes that his rebirth is to make up for his regrets.
If I can't make up for the regrets that transcend life and death, I'll be a complete loser...
"Hee... It's my favorite Ah Fang."
Lin Youxi nodded vigorously, revealing a long-lost brilliant smile, "If that happened, I would do the same thing as you."
"Ah... Um-you're talking about an accident, not death from old age! Then, what should we do when we get old..."
"I don't want to live too long. My quality of life won't be good if I live too long. I think we can go to Switzerland together when I'm 60. What do you think, Alfon?"
"Well... let me take a look at Yuanyuan... I feel like Yuanyuan wants to live a long time."
Xia Yuan nodded seriously, "This world is so beautiful, why not live longer to see it? I want to live a long life!"
"Well... since Yuanyuan said so, then Ah Fang and I can only work together and try to survive."
"really."
"Why do you act like you are accommodating me?"
I finished coding at four in the morning. This chapter and the previous one have illustrations, so you can open them later.
In addition, I would like to ask for monthly tickets again! Today is the last day, please vote for me!
The next chapter, Jieyuan Dingfangxi if13, will be finished today, and I want to make it 10,000 words.
