After a long mont, Li Zhi looked up. "Shen Yuan."
"What’s up?"
"Um, well, maybe, I an, I, you..."
Her stumbling words revealed the beautiful girl’s inner conflict.
Li Zhi gently bit her lower lip. "Let’s take it one step at a ti. First, let’s solve the custody issue."
Shen Yuan imdiately sat up on the bed, looking at Li Zhi with a serious expression.
"I’m all ears."
Li Zhi nodded. "I’ve now also adopted San Geng! That ans I’m San Geng’s mom, too!"
Shen Yuan tilted his head. ?
The beautiful girl continued, "You’ve always been raising them, so you’re also Naonao’s dad!"
Shen Yuan’s brow furrowed. ??
"So now, I’m both Naonao’s mom and San Geng’s mom, and you’re both San Geng’s dad and Naonao’s dad."
"Then what does that make us?" Shen Yuan asked.
"It makes us their parents-in-na-only, from separate households, on a purely cat-parenting basis."
Shen Yuan blinked. ???
It was as if she had said sothing, yet said nothing at all.
Just then, Naonao owed.
Shen Yuan spoke up. "Naonao says she doesn’t get it."
"It’s fine. As long as I get it."
As she spoke, Li Zhi placed Naonao in Shen Yuan’s arms. "Here, Naonao’s dad. Go ahead and pet your new daughter!"
Having said her piece, Li Zhi turned to find San Geng.
"Genggeng, co to Mommy!"
Shen Yuan looked at Naonao in his arms. The man and the cat stared at each other, wide-eyed.
After a long mont, Shen Yuan said to Naonao, "Naonao, your mom’s got a new favorite."
The little cat didn’t understand the complexities of human relationships, much less the complicated feelings between childhood sweethearts.
Shen Yuan sat on his bed, looking at the two cats who were already asleep on it. His head turned toward the window unconsciously.
From his window, Shen Yuan could see if the light in Li Zhi’s room was on.
Shen Yuan glanced down at the ti on his phone. It was already 11:40.
After unlocking his phone, Shen Yuan opened WeChat, then tapped on one of his pinned chats.
Looking at Li Zhi’s kitten profile picture, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but smile.
Shen Yuan sent a knocking emoji.
Li Zhi quickly replied with a dragon .
Drag him out and behead him.jpg.
Shen Yuan typed out a complaint.
Shen Yuan: "Off with my head just like that? Not even a chance to defend myself?"
Li Zhi: "What have you got to say? Are you asking for so profane bedti material?"
The word "profane" was a masterstroke.
Shen Yuan chuckled and typed quickly.
Shen Yuan: "I’ve got sothing good to show you."
Shen Yuan quickly snapped a picture of the cats sleeping together.
The two cats had slept together since they were kittens, and they still did now that they were grown.
Seeing them both showing their bellies in unison, Li Zhi, who was also sitting on her bed, felt her gaze soften imdiately.
’They’re all my little cats now.’
’This is perfect.’
Just then, a new ssage from Shen Yuan popped up in the chat window.
Shen Yuan: "Aren’t my little cats cute?"
Li Zhi: "Mine! Genggeng and Naonao are both mine!"
Shen Yuan: "Hehe, they’re mine, all mine. I get to sleep with them. Can you, though?"
Li Zhi: "Dumbass Shen Yuan, I’ll co get them one of these days! Then you’ll know how it feels to be separated from your daughters!"
Shen Yuan: "Perfect. You take them, you scoop the poop."
Li Zhi: "I’ll send them over to poop during the day and take them back to sleep at night."
Seeing Li Zhi’s ssage, Shen Yuan chuckled in amusent.
He said to the two little ones on the bed, "Hey, look at your mom. This is how your mom treats you! Isn’t your old dad better? Huh?"
After speaking, Shen Yuan glanced at the ti.
’Ti for bed.’
With that, Shen Yuan sent a ssage to Li Zhi: "Going to sleep. Good night, San Geng’s mom."
Li Zhi replied quickly.
"Good night, Naonao’s dad."
Shen Yuan looked at her reply, then typed out and sent another.
"Good night, Naonao’s mom."
Li Zhi almost imdiately retracted her last ssage and sent a warning.
Li Zhi: "Take it back!"
There was also a sticker of a husky pointing a finger.
’Jeez, what’s this about?’
’Can’t "Naonao’s mom" and "Naonao’s dad" be in the sa chat at the sa ti?’
’By the sa logic, "San Geng’s mom" and "San Geng’s dad" can’t be in the sa chat window either.’
Shen Yuan nodded, feeling like he understood sothing.
Then he retracted the "Naonao’s mom" ssage.
Li Zhi then imdiately resent her previous ssage.
She also retracted the previous warning.
’Such a tsundere.’
After putting his phone down, Shen Yuan lay down to sleep.
Just before falling asleep, Shen Yuan placed his hand between the little cats.
"Tell , your old dad is pretty slick, isn’t he?"
The little cats didn’t answer.
In the room next door, Li Zhi looked at the "ssage retracted" notification and touched her still-flushed face.
’Naonao’s mom... I clearly called myself that earlier, so why does it feel so embarrassing this ti?’
’Is it because there’s a "Naonao’s dad" in the picture now?’
’But we’re just parents on a cat-parenting level.’
"Forget it! I’m not thinking about it anymore. It’s all Shen Yuan’s fault!"
"Dumbass Shen Yuan!"
Li Zhi tossed her phone aside and went to sleep.
