Mr. Shen said calmly, "Never mind those two, let's take pictures first."
Zhao Jiujiu, having nothing to do, watched them taking pictures with great enthusiasm and became a little itchy to join in. She secretly took out her phone, then pulled Ah Shu, who was quietly squatting to the side, into her arms and snapped a few photos with her phone.
The crisp sound of the camera was particularly noticeable. Zhao Jiujiu looked at Shen Wuqiu, who was looking at her, and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "I must say, Ah Shu is quite photogenic."
"..." Shen Wuqiu shook his head speechlessly, "I think you all have nothing better to do."
Stephen Chow: "I had nothing to do anyway."
Shen Wuqiu choked, too lazy to pay attention to them, and she and Gu Miaomiao each carried a suitcase to help Zhou Xingxing carry his suitcase upstairs.
Stephen Chow glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, and didn't forget to emphasize to them, "I really did bring you gifts too. Don't worry, I'll bring them to your rooms later."
Gu Miaomiao muttered, "It's not like we care that much about her gift."
Shen Wuqiu laughed at her: "I feel like you care about it quite a bit."
Gu Miaomiao pouted and didn't say anything.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Shen Wuqiu continued to laugh at her: "Then, little Mianmian, what gift do you want?"
Gu Miaomiao snorted, "I don't care."
Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but chuckle and said in a low voice, "Actually, kids can be quite cute sometimes."
Gu Miaomiao's ears turned red instantly. "Don't try to make me admit that I'm a child."
"Well, the child is still young, only five hundred years old."
Gu Miaomiao licked her lips, "For our spirit cat clan, five hundred years old is actually very young."
The implication is—I am just a five-hundred-year-old child!
Forget it, whether they're adults or children, as long as they can please your partner, they're a good friend.
With this self-comfort, Gu Miaomiao felt that she was no longer averse to the word "kids".
As she lay in bed that night, Zhou Xingxing finally remembered the gift she had prepared for Shen Wuqiu and Gu Miaomiao. So, as soon as she lay down on the bed, she sprang up, put on her coat, and took out the large gift box that she had prepared long ago.
When he opened the door, he glanced around furtively, and only after seeing no suspicious people did he quickly slip to the door of Shen Wuqiu's room with the box in his arms.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?" Gu Miaomiao opened the door. Shen Wuqiu was still washing up in the bathroom.
"I brought you and Qiuqiu a gift." Zhou Xingxing slammed the large gift box into her hands, then peeked inside, only to see Sanmao on the bed playing with Simao's tail. "Where did Qiuqiu go?"
"She's still taking a shower." Gu Miaomiao looked at the large gift box in her hand, a little curious. "What did you prepare for us?"
Zhou Xingxing quickly stopped her hand from opening the door, saying, "Wait until you're inside before opening it." After a two-second pause, she added, "Do all the furry kids sleep with you?"
“Ashu Qiuqiu’s parents are with her, Da Mao and Er Mao are with their aunt, so San Mao and Simao will be sleeping with us tonight.” After saying that, Gu Miaomiao looked at her again, “Why are you asking this?”
"Um... I was just worried it would be inconvenient for you guys." Zhou Xingxing winked at her suggestively, "How about Sanmao and Simao sleep with me?"
Gu Miaomiao was more than happy to oblige and immediately opened the door wide, saying, "Here, take it with you."
Stephen Chow exclaimed dramatically, "How much do you dislike your son?"
Gu Miaomiao didn't say anything, went inside and put down the gift box, picked up one in each hand and handed it to her, "If they suddenly turn into baby dolls and start crying in the middle of the night, don't panic, just change their diapers."
Sanmao and Simao were suspended in mid-air, flapping their little feet a few times and meowing at Stephen Chow.
"..." Although the baby was really cute, Zhou Xingxing still hesitated a bit, mainly because changing diapers was a bit difficult for her. "I have to change diapers in the middle of the night?"
Gu Miaomiao forced Sanmao and Simao over, saying, "What else can we do? They are very hygienic, so it's your fault."
After saying that, he closed the door.
"..." Zhou Xingxing looked at the closed door, blinked, and then looked down at the two kittens in her arms. The two kittens also looked at her. After their eyes met for three seconds, Zhou Xingxing sighed softly. The two kittens probably sensed her helplessness and licked her cheeks on either side.
Stephen Chow was immediately comforted and hugged his two children as they returned to his room.
Meanwhile, inside the room.
"Lingyu, who is it?" Gu Miaomiao closed the door quite loudly, and Shen Wuqiu, who was taking a bath inside, heard it and asked casually.
"Stephen Chow." Gu Miaomiao replied while unpacking the large gift box.
"Xingxing? What brings her here so late?"
"Here to deliver..." Gu Miaomiao swallowed the word "gift" again when she saw the bright red lace slip dress in the box.
Suddenly the sound went silent. Shen Wuqiu assumed it was the sound of water and turned off the shower. "Huh? What did you just say? I was just rinsing and didn't hear you clearly."
"...Oh, it's nothing. Zhou Xingxing said he wanted to sleep with the baby, so he came and took Sanmao and Simao away."
Shen Wuqiu didn't think much of it; she knew Zhou Xingxing genuinely liked fluffy things. "Oh. By the way, did you tell her that the babies might need their diapers changed in the middle of the night?"
"I already said that." Gu Miaomiao picked up the lace nightgown, her eyes wide with amazement. "Qiuqiu."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Gu Miaomiao took the clothes and walked to the door, swallowing hard. "I got you some pajamas."
"I took my pajamas." Shen Wuqiu felt confused. She had just finished showering, so she simply opened the bathroom door.
"How about... you try this on?"
Shen Wuqiu's gaze slowly shifted downwards, glanced at her briefly, and then quickly looked away. "What are you doing?"
The door was half-open, and steam rose from inside. Shen Wuqiu's exposed neck was exceptionally fair and slender.
Gu Miaomiao knew that her partner's skin was so fair all over, and just thinking about her wearing that bright red halter dress made her feel incredibly excited.
"Qiuqiu..."
Seeing her stubbornly extending her hand, Shen Wuqiu was both angry and reluctant. "You really are..."
"I want to see you wear..."
Shen Wuqiu bit her lip, "You really are..."
Seeing the slight disappointment in her eyes, Shen Wuqiu softened again. "Keep it for now. Isn't the new house all renovated? We're moving in on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. You can wear it then..."
Gu Miaomiao immediately perked up again, but she was still a little itchy. "Just try it on first, I just want to take a look, just a glimpse from afar..."
Shen Wuqiu couldn't refuse her, mainly because she couldn't bear to disappoint her, so she took the dress and closed the door.
Ten minutes later, Shen Wuqiu opened the door a crack, but didn't come out; he just showed half of his body through the crack.
The woman's face and dress were both red.
Although she only glanced at it briefly, Gu Miaomiao felt her scalp tingling, but in order to be a partner who keeps her word, she just silently drank several mouthfuls of water.
Then, that night, the cat couldn't sleep.
Why aren't you asleep yet?
"I can't sleep."
"Why?"
"Miss you."
"..."
"You who want to wear a red dress,"
"..."
Chapter 138
As Gu Miaomiao thought about it, she realized it was dawn.
After getting up, he looked completely listless.
"Oh dear, what's wrong? You look so listless this morning. Didn't you sleep well last night?" Su Yunzhi glanced at her, finding her appearance quite unusual.
Gu Miaomiao yawned and gave a perfunctory "hmm." Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at her two carefree little ones and felt inexplicably annoyed. She reached out and pulled Er Mao Mao's tail over.
Er Mao and San Mao were fighting over a small embroidered ball toy, and just as things were getting heated, their mother interfered, and the embroidered ball inevitably ended up in San Mao's mouth.
"Meow~" Er Mao's fur, which was already a bit frizzy, became even more frizzy. With her irritable nature, she didn't care whether the one pulling her tail was her mother or not. She turned around angrily and swatted at it with her paw.
Gu Miaomiao, already in a bad mood, became even more upset. She instantly transformed into a big cat and immediately rolled around with the arrogant little brat.
Sanmao, that silly boy, was really enjoying watching his second sister and mother fight. He looked at the embroidered ball he had snatched, sniffed it, licked it twice, and then, finding the ball no longer appealing, shook himself, raised his feet, and pounced on his mother and second sister, joining the fray.
The two children and the one adult fought from one end of the sofa to the other, and then back again, until they all rolled off the sofa at the same time, occasionally letting out a slightly shrill scream.
"Oh dear, really! You should just let the kids play by themselves. Why are you meddling in? What if you hurt Er Mao and San Mao if you don't know your own strength..."
Su Yunzhi watched them rolling around and wanted to break up the fight, but she didn't know where to start, so she could only say a few words from the side.
Er Mao was an energetic little girl who felt restless if she didn't fight with her younger sisters every day. Unfortunately, she didn't dare to use her full strength against her sisters, so she could only resort to childish behavior like snatching toys to provoke their attacks.
However, such half-hearted efforts are really meaningless.
It's so good that Mom is willing to practice with her today.
Meanwhile, Gu Miaomiao, who was also dissatisfied with her desires, was quite resentful. Not daring to pick a fight with her partner, she could only take her anger out on the children.
Therefore, no cat took Su Yunzhi's words to heart at all.
Anyway, she can say what she wants, and they can fight what they want.
Su Yunzhi could only watch helplessly from the sidelines, while Zhao Jiujiu, on the other hand, had a good attitude. She recorded the conversation on her phone while comforting Su Yunzhi: "Don't worry, these little ones can take a beating. I looked it up before, and all felines are like this. This kind of play is very necessary for them; it's a kind of learning experience for them. Just relax."
Su Yunzhi said with a worried look, "I don't think they were joking. Wasn't it Sanmao screaming just now? How pitiful were they screaming?"
"Sigh, when we discipline the kids, how often do we not beat them until they scream?" Zhao Jiujiu said dismissively. She glanced at Da Mao, who was squatting on the top of the sofa back, looking down at the three cats playing around. She pointed her phone camera at Da Mao and clicked her tongue, "No wonder she's the boss. That aura, that look, she really has the aura of a big sister."
Simao, who had been pestering Su Yunzhi for milk, immediately jumped onto the sofa and squatted on Zhao Jiujiu's lap upon hearing this, also wanting to see the photos she had taken.
"Come on, let me take a picture of you too." Zhao Jiujiu adjusted the camera, and the screen immediately showed Si Mao's enlarged bitter face.
While adjusting herself, Zhao Jiujiu muttered, "Can't you just smile? You're so young, but your face always looks like a bitter gourd."
"Meow~" Simao was displeased. It jumped off her and immediately darted in front of Su Yunzhi, trying to ingratiate itself with her, "Meow~"
"Okay, Grandma will make you some formula right away." Su Yunzhi picked up Simao and smiled at Zhao Jiujiu, "Even little kids can be funny. Look at our little darling, she doesn't like hearing you say she looks like a bitter gourd."
Simao also let out a meow at Zhao Jiujiu.
Zhao Jiujiu couldn't help but chuckle: "My little darling, you're much cuter than a regular bitter gourd... and you're not bitter at all."
