Since Bai Xi decided to keep the cat, he must purchase cat supplies to decorate their house with it. Once the weekend arrived, he could not wait to take Qi Xun to go shopping.
He actually could purchase everything online, but he preferred the feeling of browsing through the items at the store with Qi Xun.
Qi Xun was someone who was born with an other-worldly face, but when wearing casual clothes, pushing a shopping cart, pointing to the supermarket shelf, and asking Bai Xi what kind of pudding he wants, the scene was surprisingly harmonious.
The duo was walking and looking through each aisle.
When Bai Xi finished shopping for the kitten, it dawned on him that he had not named the kitten yet.
He posed, “What name do you think we should give to the kitten?”
The kitten had been under his name for a week, but he was still called ‘Kitty’.
Bai Xi was bad at naming, so he looked at Qi Xun with hope, waiting for the ‘top student’ to contribute an adorable and unique name.
His expectation was shattered as Qi Xun spitted out a word from his thin lips even without blinking,
“Chubby.”
Bai Xi: “…”
This is not an orange cat they are talking about!
“Why are you even more lackluster at naming than I am?” Bai Xi showed an annoyed expression. “Please be more caring about the kitten’s mentality, okay? How can he live with such a name? It would be so embarrassing calling our cat when we are outside. Besides, how is he fat?”
Qi Xun got tormented by Bai Xi’s cat video for a week. In the video, the cat was either sleeping or eating.
He answered unhurriedly, “With how much he is eating, he will be fat eventually. Let him face his reality early.”
There was limited attention he could spare on the cat. When they arrived at the snack aisle, he bent down and put different kinds of chocolates that Bai Xi liked to eat into the cart, then he turned and asked, “What do you want for dinner? How about a barbecue? You did mention you wanted to eat that.”
Bai Xi was immediately distracted. “Yes!”
Ten days later, Bai Xi and Qi Xun went to the vet to take the kitten home.

Bai Xi’s colleagues also found a family for the second kitten that was kept at the vet. She got taken yesterday.

By the time Bai Xi wanted to change his name, it was too late. The kitten had recognized this name. As soon as he heard Chubby, he came running with his cute, shaking butt.
Bai Xi: “…”
Feeling bitter and resentful, he glared at Qi Xun.
Qi Xun chuckled and did not show a trace of remorse at all. “Look, he is very content with his name.”
Bai Xi did not want to pay attention to his boyfriend anymore.
To express his displeasure with Qi Xun, as a protest, he sat on the sofa with his fur baby and left Qi Xun alone at the table.
He liked kittens.
Although the cat was a little stray kitten, he was as lovely after his fur was cleaned. His Dragon Li natural pattern was also pretty, as well as his goldish-brown round eyes.
Bai Xi held the kitten in his arms without using too much force. He gently scratched his small belly and chin and teased him with cat toys.
The forgotten Qi Xun on the side did not mind at all.
He sipped his tea and looked at the young man under the light.
Bai Xi wore beige indoor clothes, and his hair was tied into a top knot. The kitten was between his crossed legs. On the coffee table in front of him lay half-finished manhua, on the ground was a cat toy that he tossed earlier, and beside the sofa was Bai Xi’s coat that he offhandedly threw.
The whole picture had nothing to do with organization or cleanliness.
Qi Xun was someone who had a mild obsession on cleanliness and OCD, neither were serious, but before Bai Xi moved in, everything in the house was in proper order, arranged in categories, so neat that it lacked signs of life.
But Bai Xi preferred to toss things at random places, and did not store things too neatly. His reason was that a little mess would create a sense of personality.
The duo had a small argument over this a few times. Bai Xi could not win a single argument against Qi Xun, a former member of the Debate Club. Under intense pressure, he could only threaten to move back with a distressed expression.
Surprisingly, this move was extremely effective.
In the end, Qi Xun admitted defeat.
Now that this nasty little imp had completely claimed half of the living room as his territory, toss anything his heart desired.
When thinking of this, Qi Xun pinched the bridge of his nose to stop the incoming headache, feeling the urge to smoke.
In the past, he always thought that Bai Xi’s family doted on the young man too much. Now it seemed that he needed to surpass his predecessors.
Having to keep a pet alone was already unreasonable to his past self. Just thinking about the fur being everywhere was already annoying enough.
Now looking at him, the new cat named Chubby was atrociously swaggering around in his house.
He unconsciously stared at Bai Xi and Chubby for a while.
At first, Bai Xi was kissing the kitten’s little beanie paws until he felt the other’s gaze. He raised his head and faced Qi Xun. “Why are you staring at Chubby? Don’t you dare think of scaring him!”
He had silently accepted ‘Chubby’ as the kitten’s name.
Qi Xun disdained, “Who wants to stare at that silly cat.”
“Then what are you thinking?” Bai Xi asked.
He held Chubby against the side of his neck. The kitten’s small, round head was close to his face. When the pet lover and the pet looked over together with their shiny eyes, they emit the same adorableness.
Qi Xun smiled knowingly.
He said, “I was just thinking that my status in this family is declining too fast. I will not even have my secret stash of money after marriage.”
This was just something he said offhandedly with a sense of ridicule, even though he did heed what he was saying.
But as soon as he finished, the whole living room turned quiet for a few seconds.
Bai Xi held the cat in his arms and blinked in a daze, feeling slightly at a loss.
When he was hospitalized on New Year, he was muddle-headed from his illness and disorientedly told Qi Xun that if they adopted a child in the future, the other man would be a great father.
Qi Xun agreed.
But Bai Xi forgot this conversation after a night of sleep.
So when he heard the word ‘marriage’, he was totally at a loss.
Of course, he knew this was a joke.
Bai Xuan asked when she would eat his wedding candie, and he also jokingly said ‘it’s still too early to say’.
But he didn’t even consider it.
Dating Qi Xun was like winning the lottery, how could he not be satisfied with the winnings? Should he hope for a special prize from his jackpot lottery?
He unknowingly tightened his arms a little, the kitten in his arms meowed a few times and rubbed against Bai Xi’s hand.
Qi Xun misunderstood the expression on Bai Xi’s face.
He thought he had frightened the young man.
Bai Xi was two years younger than him, and he probably never had the thought of starting a family.
So Qi Xun flattened his lips and changed the subject as if nothing had happened, “Are you going to take a bath later?”
Bai Xi stroked the kitten and answered, “After I play with the cat a little longer.”
He could hear the avoidance in Qi Xun’s tone for him, yet there was this faint disappointment in his heart.
Sure enough, Qi Xun also felt that this sentence was too rash.
He secretly glanced at Qi Xun at the table.
After he spotted the faint stiffness in the other man’s eyes, Bai Xi wondered what was on Qi Xun’s mind.
His eyes darkened as he patted Chubby’s tiny head.
The young Chubby knew nothing of his two fathers’ troubles. He poked out his little tongue and licked Bai Xi’s hand.
The smile slowly returned on Bai Xi’s face as he kissed Chubby’s head.
He scratched the adorable ears and thought, it must be great being a kitten. No need to worry about the complex thoughts of a human. They felt happy just by eating their fill and bathing under the sun.
The author has something to add:
Pine Nut Tea: Chubby is just a little kitten, he still does not understand the evil intentions of human beings
I’m glad to know that the other kitten got it’s family fast, I hope they live a good life there.
thanks for another update!! <33
Just like my Dad brainwashing my cat that his name is Tiger. 😡 I was just gone for a week for school and I came back home with my cat ignoring me calling his birthname but responds to Tiger.
Misunderstanding sucks.
