Wishful Things

"By the way, I brought the cat today."

Xu Mingyi lifted a delicate bamboo basket from the empty chair beside him, put it gently on the table, pushed it towards Wu Chao, and said, "Look and see if it fits your eyes."

Wu Chao cast his gaze away.

The bamboo basket was covered with thick lotus root pink fine silk cloth, and inside it was a kitten that was snow-white and had a red gold bell tied around its neck, sleeping inside.

About to be awakened by the noise, the little furry thing opened its eyes for a moment, looked around, and gave a childish "meow--" before burying its head and falling asleep snoringly.

"...It's somewhat similar to Tianmu." Wu Chao commented pertinently.

Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement.

"Lazy is a bit lazy, and it can eat and sleep. Because of this, its temper is also the best among its brothers and sisters in the same litter."

She wondered, after all, Mrs. Shizi never raised a cat of her own in a serious way. After all, wild owners who lick and run away are different from serious owners.

If you have no experience, if you encounter someone with a wild personality, it will be bad if you get scratched.

"And I carefully selected it, counting it as the most beautiful." Xu Mingyi poked the cat's face lightly with his finger, and said with emotion: "When it grows older, such a rare beauty should also turn all cats upside down." exists."

Wu Chao heard a smile in his eyes.

But the line of sight moved unconsciously to the face of the cat teasing girl.

The girl lowered her eyes halfway, her thick eyelashes cast thin shadows, and two dimples loomed on her cheeks.

Seeing such a face, a voice popped out of the boy's mind - in terms of good looks, he still thinks Miss Xu is the prettiest. Whether it's comparing with people or with cats.

Xu Mingyi withdrew the hand that was smoothing the cat's fur, and then opened a box at hand.

Wu Chao looked over subconsciously.

"These are all used to relieve it—" Xu Mingyi dug out a few small balls of thread, and took out a slender green bamboo stick with brocade hanging a few feathers on one end.

Wu Chao took a look and felt something was wrong.

Why do those feathers look familiar to him?

Before he could ask, Xu Mingyi coughed lightly, and explained: "This is the hair from the third eye... I took it and used it casually."

Throwing away is also a waste.

And anyway, we will be a family in the future, so let's treat it as a meeting gift from the older brother Tianmu.

Wu Chao took another look when he heard the words.

Already bald, but always shedding hair.

The lost hair will also be reduced to a tool to please the new favorite in the family.

I have to say that this slightly tragic experience is really quite refreshing.

Although the big bird will choose to stay at home obediently most of the time these days, don't think he can't see that the bird's intention is just to make a bowl of water level, so as to satisfy its intention of eating two meals for one bird.

"This is for eating. It is still small now, so it can be fed with boiled water to soften it." Xu Mingyi pointed to a paper bag in the box, and said, "This is specially prepared by the eldest princess's mansion." The cat recipes are made, and it’s too hot to store for a long time, so I didn’t take too much. But the recipes were obtained together, and they’re all in the box, and I’ll ask people to make them according to it later.”

This cat is coming with Tong Jiaojiao.

Her family Jiaojiao's dedication to raising cats is even better than raising noodles.

Wu Chao was a little surprised when he heard that.

Is it so complicated to raise a cat?

Looking at the full box again, he couldn't help saying: "I didn't expect Miss Xu to be so patient."

She promised to help, and he was really grateful. And the person who could have sent a cat to his eyes had prepared these things so meticulously.

In the past, he would have thought much more.

Xu Mingyi glanced at him.

Hearing this, in his eyes, she is actually a very impatient person?

Heck, it's really accurate.

"I don't have the patience to raise these myself. But since I want to send it out, I should pay more attention to it."

If you don't do it, you don't do it, and if you do it, you must be responsible to the end.

Hearing what she said, Wu Chao felt appreciative in his heart.

"Thank you for this, Miss Xu."

only--

"Miss Xu just meant that this cat belongs to the eldest princess's house?"

"Well, the two lion cats I mentioned earlier are raised by Princess Yufeng."

"Miss Xu is very close to Princess Yufeng?" Wu Chao asked.

The reputation of this Yufeng princess is quite loud.

In addition to being difficult to get along with, it is well known that a daughter inherits her mother's business and raises a noodle head.

Xu Mingyi nodded, and said truthfully: "I have been in love with Princess Yufeng since childhood."

- hit it off?

After getting this answer, Wu Chao was inexplicably uneasy.

After taking two sips of tea, she still couldn't hold back and asked: "What does Miss Xu think about the matter of raising a face?"

Asking this sentence made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He has never been a person who judges people behind their backs.

If you really want to say, in his opinion, many men have three wives and four concubines are not enough, and they also have to go to brothels to raise their own women. From a fair point of view, it is not impossible for women not to marry and raise their faces.

But in this world, it's really not something worth advocating.

All in all, his attitude towards this matter can be summed up in one word - it has nothing to do with him, and he has no feelings.

As for why he asked Xu Mingyi at this time, he was actually a little confused.

"As long as it wasn't snatched by force and didn't hinder others, there's nothing wrong with your wish." Xu Mingyi said in a chatty tone, "Of course, there must be two conditions——"

"What conditions?" Wu Chao gripped the teacup calmly.

"First, of course you must have money."

After all, it costs a lot of money to raise noodles.

"Secondly, you have to not care about other people's opinions." Xu Mingyi said: "If these two conditions are met, naturally you can live as happily as you can."

After hearing this, Wu Chao raised his heart.

It's over.

Miss Xu seems to have satisfied these two conditions thoroughly.

"Miss Xu—" the young man thought twice before opening his mouth.

"Huh?" Xu Mingyi looked at him.

"Actually, there are many things that can make people happy in this world." The young man's serious tone carried a hint of imperceptible persuasion.

Xu Mingyi couldn't help laughing.

Wu Chao was worried that she would learn how to maintain her face!

"I don't even bother to raise a cat, so I don't have the time to raise a group of living people." The girl replied without hesitation.

She had heard from Jiaojiao that those men would also compete for favor and be jealous, so it's not unreasonable to call it lifeless when they make trouble.

Wu Chao heaved a sigh of relief.

He suddenly felt that Miss Xu's impatience was also a great advantage.

"Besides, being alive is already a joy." The girl's eyes were filled with satisfied smiles.

Being able to reunite with my family, being able to do what I want to do, being able to sit here and have a leisurely half-day drinking tea and chatting, being able to listen to the soft cat meowing, and sitting in front of such a beautiful Wu Shisun——

It's really good to be alive!

Xu Mingyi sighed in his heart.

Thank you for your monthly tickets and rewards.

On the first day of August, I hope everyone can have the same good mood as Chongxi Zhaozhao~
