Slightly unexpectedly, when Xia Miaomiao learned that Hao Qi should take care of other cats, she didn't lose her temper for the first time.

"Anyway, it's not like I'm going to shovel double, you can do whatever you want."

Obviously, he replied casually while playing with a toy called "Rolling Dragon", but in Hao Qi's ears, he always felt as if his cat girlfriend was hiding her dissatisfaction in her heart and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

"Are you supposed to ...... How are you going to do it to that cat called Nian Nian? ”

Come to think of it, that's probably the only possibility.

As a ferocious feline, it is already the friendliest act to expel any kind of person who invades their territory, and even cubs who are not related to themselves can be ruthlessly strangled, although they are not cruel enough to eat the corpses of their own kind, but the above acts alone are enough to make people feel the ferocity and ruthlessness of being the strongest predator on Earth today.

Just imagined a little bit, the appearance of a blackened version of his cat girlfriend with bloody paws and a cute smile, Hao Qi couldn't help but shudder at that time.

And his appearance fell in Xia Miaomiao's eyes, which suddenly made her dissatisfied and gave her boyfriend a paw.

"What kind of image does the old lady have in your mind! Am I the kind of cold-blooded animal that kills innocent kittens? ”

“…… If you can even let the kittens go, why have you never shown mercy when you attacked me! ”

"That's because you're begging for a beating!"

“……”

Facing Xia Miaomiao, who was neither frank nor arrogant, Hao Qi had no choice but to hold her in his arms and comfort her softly.

"Okay, Miao Miao, in fact, the reason why I promised her to help take care of the cat is that I think you are too bored to stay at home by yourself, you think, although you are not a cat, but there is a little attendant who can let you rub the round and flatten to play with you for your dispatch, and you can also be a comfort ...... when you are lonely"

"What?"

"Ahem...... It's easy to say.,I mean,You can just take every year as a trial cat toy.,If you feel like you're still satisfied.,Then I'll buy you an official version in a few days......"

"DO YOU THINK YOU'RE BUYING STEAM GAMES? What's the deal with returning if you're not having fun! ”

The cat, who was amused by her boyfriend's inconspicuous remarks, couldn't hold back her expression anymore, and gave Hao Qi a bite angrily.

"But that sounds like a bit of a point......"

Putting her paw on her chin and thinking about it, Xia Miaomiao suddenly remembered something and looked up at Hao Qi.

"I remember that Nian Nian was a male cat, right?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

Because of his girlfriend's strange concern, Hao Qi glanced at her in surprise.

"Then in case I accidentally can't control the cat's instinctive empathy, do you count this as luring the wolf into the house?"

Seeing the triumphant appearance of his cat girlfriend, Hao Qi angrily curled his finger bow and flicked it on her forehead.

“…… Don't you dare! ”

"Hmph...... You dare to take the girl to the house while I am a cat, why don't I dare to pick up other cats! ”

Xia Miaomiao dissatisfiedly went to pull away her boyfriend's hand, and her teeth and claws were cute.

“…… That's someone else taking the initiative to come to the door, besides, do you see when I have said or done even the slightest thing out of line? ”

In this regard, Hao Qi looked innocent - although he has had a lot of contact with girls recently, but ...... In his opinion, it was entirely because Xia Miaomiao had become a cat.

In other words, even if Hao Qi is suspected of flirting with her sister, the tool for flirting with her sister is Xia Miaomiao herself, and she really has to be held responsible, and it is not too much to count her as an abusive person.

However, Hao Qi's determined behavior obviously failed to get his girlfriend's approval.

"There is a thief's heart but no thief's courage!"

After saying this, Xia Miaomiao herself was stupidly amused, obviously thinking that such a trumped-up charge was really a suspicion of pressing someone's head.

"Still laughing! If you don't move for a few days, your skin is itchy, isn't it! ”

Seeing this, Hao Qi didn't know that his girlfriend was making fun of himself again, and he reached out to catch the back of her neck, but the cat easily avoided it, gave him a paw with his backhand and ran away.

"Meow ha! Stupid Hao Qi, do you think that the old lady will suffer so many times in a row on the same trick and be unprepared! ”

“…… Count you as fast as you get! ”

deliberately pretended to be angry, and seeing that the cat really didn't care about this matter anymore, Hao Qi's heart was also secretly relieved.

Thinking about it not long ago, I was still resistant to the fact that another cat appeared in my life and Xia Miaomiao's life, but now I am still going farther and farther on the road of shoveling after all.

"Anyway...... If you can really make Xia Miaomiao happy, it doesn't hurt to raise another one. ”

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly remembered what his girlfriend had just said, and Hao Qi silently added in his heart.

"But...... Male cats or something, sure enough, forget it. ”

As the so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, if it is really a last resort, if you want to find a reliable and intimate playmate for Xia Miaomiao, you must always find the shopkeeper's sister...... Oh, to be exact, it's the wonderful beauty of the owner's sister's house, the quiet and elegant lady cat.

But...... Considering the double share of the shovel officer's work, Hao Qi still hopes to ...... It's better not to come on that day.

*****************************

Parting is always sad.

The "parting" mentioned here, although there are also Chen Niannian who was reluctant to give up before going out for training, and finally tearfully waved goodbye to his cat "every year", in addition, it also includes another sad emotion.

When the scorching summer heat was diluted by a cool night rain, in the early morning, Hao Qi, who went out, saw the policewoman standing by the flower bed and crying sadly, and the small cat corpse in front of her, which had lost her life.

This is one of the kittens who had been affectionately to Xia Miaomiao's side before, and wanted to be close to her, and left the cat mother shortly after birth and tried to live in this world, despite the disinfection and treatment of the veterinarian girl, after all, it still failed to survive this summer.

"Meow Meow ......"

The other two kittens cowered in the corner, whispering uneasily, as if they had realized that they had lost a little friend.

"It's me who is not good ......"

Looking at the small, paralyzed cat's body, wearing a police uniform, the policewoman who should have been heroic and sassy was crying at this time.

"The veterinarian said that the kitten was congenitally deficient and was infected with parasites and cat moss, and was already very weak. If...... If I had brought them all to my house in the morning, maybe they wouldn't have died......"

“…… There is no need to blame oneself for what has already happened. ”

Hao Qi, who didn't know how to comfort the other party for a while, could only gently pat her on the shoulder in the end.

"Perhaps, for this kitten, it will be a relief......"

"But ......"

"I think you've done enough to make the little one feel cared for and loved by others and have a good time with it."

“……”

The policewoman with reddish eyes glanced up at Hao Qi, then bent down and carefully picked up the kitten's body.

"Can you help me find a place to bury it?"

"Hmmm......"

Hao Qi nodded and glanced around.

"It's better not to be in the neighborhood, I guess...... How about Bonsai Mountain? ”

"Okay."

This hill, known as Bonsai Mountain, is not far from the community where Hao Qi lives, and the mountain is lush and green, and a pavilion has been built at the top, which is also a good place for people in the vicinity to exercise and walk.

The two deliberately avoided the crowded path, chose a sunny place, and buried the kitten under an unknown bush.

Although it was not a tragic and tragic parting of life and death, it touched the scene, and the policewoman couldn't help but shed tears again, and even Hao Qi became sad.

"Alright, let's go back."

"Hmm."

Finally, she glanced back at the small dirt bag, and the policewoman's eyes were a little more determined, and then she quickened her pace and hurried down the mountain back to the community under Hao Qi's puzzled gaze.

"Meow Meow ......"

Back in front of the flower bed, the two kittens finally timidly greeted the policewoman, and the policewoman herself, under Hao Qi's surprised gaze, hugged the two little ones in her arms.

"I decided."

She looked at Hao Qi and reluctantly showed a cheerful smile.

"I'm going to keep them."

“…… That's right. ”

After making eye contact with her and confirming that this was not a whim, but a final decision made after rational thinking, Hao Qi remembered one more thing.

Before...... She seems to say that because of the special situation at home, she can't keep a cat.

Well, in any case, difficulties are something that people have to work hard to overcome, don't they?

Thinking of this, Hao Qi also nodded to her in encouragement.

"Since you want to raise them, let's treat them well."

"Well, I will."

"If you need help with something, or if you don't understand something, you can go to the pet side and ask...... Of course, it's okay to ask me. ”

Hearing Hao Qi's words, the policewoman smiled at her.

"Thank you."

"I have to say thank you...... I should thank you for these two little guys. ”

Hao Qi also returned a knowing smile.

"Because I think you're going to be a good shoveler."

"Flutter."

The policewoman couldn't help but smile and glanced at Hao Qi.

"Why do you cat owners always call yourself cat slaves? I think the most appropriate relationship is for people and cats to get along on an equal footing. ”

"You're wrong, it's not 'you' anymore, it's 'us' - you're going to start raising cats now, and you will probably understand by then......

After reminding the policewoman with a serious face, Hao Qi thought about it and added.

"Besides...... My situation is also more special. ”

“…… That's right, after all, your girlfriend's cat. ”

“…… No, maybe a little more special than that. ”

Facing the curious eyes of the policewoman, Hao Qi laughed and walked away.

As for the fact that his cat is actually his girlfriend...... Anyway, no one else will believe it.
