Chapter 79: Braised Pork 4
Seeing her brother’s eyes light up despite the stiffness of his posture, Xiang Yi’s lips curled up slightly.
Her brother had been a talented pretender since he was young, but he can only deceive others, not her.
He was an unwavering plush addict.
Before, Xiang Feng’s favorite hobby was going to the claw machines and picking up plushies. When he returned with them, he would feign a cool demeanor and give them to Xiang Yi, as if he had grabbed them for his little sister and not because he liked them.
But now, a very much alive, real, and adorable fluffy kitten was in his hands. She didn’t believe that Xiang Yu could resist such temptation!
In her heart, Xiang Yi silently exclaimed, ‘Xiao Naofu, it’s now up to you.’
Xiang Yi and Shi Sui went to the kitchen, leaving Xiang Yu and Bai Ruoruo in the living room.
Bai Ruoruo inched closer to Xiang Yu and pretentiously said,”This little kitty is so pretty.”
The Xiao Naofu today was no longer the dirty kitten Xiang Feng had picked up from the streets.
Its white fur was fluffy and soft, and its eyes a beautiful shade of icy blue. A red bow had been tied around its neck (Xiang Yi had told it that this was a tiger’s favorite thing) as it was staring at Xiang Yu with its head cocked to the side.
‘This is the stupid woman’s older brother?’
‘He doesn’t seem very bright.’
For the sake of his luxurious seafood meal, he nudged Xiang Yu with his head, acting coy like a small baby.
The man seemed as if he had been electrocuted, retracting his hands as his pupils dilated.
From the outside, it seemed cruel and ruthless to the extreme, radiating the message of ‘keep away’ from head to toe.
The inner thoughts that others couldn’t have seen, however, were—
‘IT IT IT IT’S SO SOFT!!!’
Xiao Naofu had seen through him a long time ago as it approached him on stubby short legs. This time, it nudged his abdomen. The cat’s ears rubbed against his white T-shirt, revealing the looming lines of his abdominal muscles. As if it had been wronged, it began to cry. “Meow wuuwuu~~”
Xiang Yu: …!!
‘IT IT IT IT CAN MAKE SOUNDS!!!’
—[I’m about to be smitten to death by Xiao Naofu. Simao Brother, you better pet him! PET HIM!]
—[My goodness, in this day and age, even a green tea cat can snuggle up to abs. I’m salty, so salty]
—[Bai Ruoruo has an extremely marvelous expression. Her face is basically saying, “Am I really less attractive than this cat?” Hahahahha lmao this f*cking variety show is too funny]
Seeing Xiang Yu unmoved by the encounter, Xiao Naofu felt its fighting spirit ignite.
‘Hmph. There isn’t a human on this earth that this Huhu cannot handle!’
He squatted his small bum and rolled over on the spot, revealing a white, soft, and round belly. Its claws faced upwards in the air, revealing four small and pink paw pads. Its pure blue pupils stared pitifully at Xiang Yu as it flicked its fluffy tail to wrap around the man’s finger…
Whoosh—
Something snapped in Xiang Yi’s brain.
He nudged his fingertips and scratched the cat’s chin tentatively.
“Meow~” Xiao Naofu purred softly, clinging onto Xiang Yu with its little paws.
Xiang Yu hesitated. Does the kitty…want a huggy?
“Meow meow meow!” The cat cried urgently, as if it were rushing him.
Xiang Yu’s last string of reason finally broke, and he carefully picked up the cat. Xiao Naofu cleverly rubbed against his neck, choosing a comfortable position to lie down while still in his arms. He then revealed a very compassionate expression.
‘Dumb human, you may start pampering this Huhu meow!’
Inside the kitchen.
The braised pork had been simmering for an hour to fully absorb the broth. Xiang Yi turned the heat to high, ready to stir and reduce the soup. Soon, the thick sauce coated every piece of pork belly. The delicious aroma of the sugary, thick, and red-colored sauce could be smelled through the screen.
