After taking a shower, Xie Yan looked at the sofa right after he came out. The kitten liked to stay on the sofa the most the past few days and he had unconsciously developed this habit of glancing at it first thing.
Every time he looked at the sofa, the kitten would be either be sleeping or lying but now, the sofa was empty with no sign of the cat. Where did it go?
He wiped his hair with the towel and walked to the master bedroom to search for the cat. He looked through the other rooms but there was still no trace of the cat.
Afterwards, he walked into the kitchen. Although the door was open, there was no cat inside. He walked around the living room again, keeping an eye out for the silver kitten. Xie Yan was puzzled, the house was not that big so where did the kitten go?
His gaze landed on the balcony. The only place he didn’t search was the balcony, but if the kitten there, why didn’t he see any movement after a long time?
He walked towards it and before he could enter, he felt a chill wrapping his body from the balcony. The door curtain of the balcony was half drawn so he couldn’t see what was happening outside. He raised his vigilance and drew the curtain open. Upon seeing the sight before him, Xie Yan was stunned.
Sheets of thin ice were layered on the glass door of the balcony. Towards the bottom, the ice was much thicker and in the corner of the balcony was a silver cat huddled into it.
Xie Yan took large strides towards the cat and squatted down, frowning. What happened?
He put his hand on the ice and circulated his spiritual power, melting the ice quickly. The kitten was so cold that the ice surrounding him had melted and drenched him in freezing water. Seeing the wet ground and the damp kitten, he was reminded of the first time he met the kitten. I see.
Xie Yan picked up the cat and went to the bathroom to pour a basin of warm water for it. The cat couldn’t support itself now, so he held the cat’s head with his hand to prevent it from drowning.
When the kitten adapted to the water temperature, he could heat the water little by little to ease the kitten’s chills. After soaking for about five minutes, a faint ‘meow’ rang in Xie Yan’s ears and the kitten slowly opened its eyes.
The kitten’s glassy eyes stared at the man in front of it for a while. Xie Yan’s hands were also immersed in the warm water and his fair hands were stained a faint crimson. Upon seeing this, the kitten rubbed its head against Xie Yan’s hands. Thank you.
This was the first time the kitten had taken initiative to touch him since he sheltered it. While he was relieved, he was still a little surprised. He didn’t withdraw his hand but asked first, “Do you still want to soak in the water?”
The cat raised its head, stood up and shook its wet head. No more soaking.
Seeing the kitten’s response, Xie Yan withdrew his hand, wiped its fur with a towel and blow-dried it patiently.
Although the cat had taken a shower before and it was a little troublesome to do it again, he didn’t feel impatient at all. He thought it felt good to take care of the little cat. He didn’t realize how much he liked little animals before, but he preferred this kitten more than others for no reason.
Xie Yan thought, this is probably…a kind of fate.
After this incident, he delved deeper into the kitten’s disease. It had attacked two times within three days so the disease was probably a little tricky to treat.
In this case, the possibility of a congenital or genetic disease was very small, but it couldn’t be completely ruled out. If the disease was acquired, there were only two cases.
One would be due to external forces, such as injuries inflicted by cold qi which would permeate into the bones from time to time. The other case would be that the kitten accidentally consumed a food that reacted with something in its body to form cold poison.
If you want to treat a disease, you must first understand the context of the disease.
After the episode, the kitten quickly fell asleep and Xie Yan didn’t bother it. He could ask the questions tomorrow, there was no hurry.

Normally at this time, Xie Yan would be finishing his breakfast. He was disciplined and always woke up on time no matter how late he slept. After a few days, Ji Qinghuai had gotten used to Xie Yan’s lifestyle.
But when he opened his eyes today, Ji Qinghuai didn’t see Xie Yan. He hasn’t gotten up yet?
As soon as he moved, the blanket slipped down from his body. He turned his head and looked at it, raising the corners of his mouth.
The kitten jumped off the sofa. Its ears twitched but did not hear anything. It walked to Xie Yan’s bedroom and saw that the door was open. The quilt on the bed was neatly folded and the windows were opened. It seemed that Xie Yan had gone out.
The kitten returned to the living room but felt a little bored staying there. As it lazed around, its eyes fell on the teacup on the table.
Ji Qinghuai concentrated on the teacup and tried to circulate his spiritual power. One second, two seconds, three seconds… the cup didn’t budge at all.
Ji Qinghuai remained calm and tried again. Move!
However, there was still no response. He tried five or six more times but finally gave up. Ji Qinghuai was depressed, what’s wrong with him? Why did he change back to his original form and also lost his spiritual power?
As he was thinking, the door of the living room was opened and Xie Yan entered with two big bags.
The kitten looked at the two big bags in his hands. It turns out he went shopping.
Xie Yan looked at the kitten and greeted him, “Good morning.”
After that, he took the bags to the kitchen and sorted them. The first shelf in the refrigerator was empty so he placed the fresh milk on it.
Ji Qinghuai suddenly remembered that in the past few days, there were no other drinks in the house except for milk.
Ji Qinghuai watched Xie Yan organize everything in the first bag into the refrigerator and then he walked over to the other bag to repeat the same thing.
As soon as the kitten approached Xie Yan, a faint medicinal fragrance rushed into its nose. Only then did it see the small pile of medicine in Xie Yan’s hands.
The kitten tilted its head, you’re sick?
Although the kitten couldn’t speak, Xie Yan could understand what it was trying to say, “It’s not for me, it’s for you.”
The kitten was puzzled. Seeing its confused look, he explained, “You have a severe cold, I bought these medicinal herbs to see if they can treat you.”
When it heard that he wanted to give him Chinese medicine, it looked reluctant. Chinese medicine is hard to drink.
The kitten’s reaction was within Xie Yan’s expectations. He smiled and continued, “I know the medicine doesn’t taste good, you certainly don’t want to drink it.”
The kitten looked at him, so what?
“So, I’m going to combine the herbs with food so that it’s more palatable for you.”
After he stopped talking, he took some of the herbs and ingredients to prepare a casserole. He added water and let it soak as he turned to the kitten, “I have something to ask you.”
Cats with spiritual consciousness were different from ordinary cats. They could understand what you’re asking and could answer some simple questions.
He asked, “Were you born with the cold poison?” If that was the cause, it was impossible to cure it.
Ji Qinghuai thought that if he was born with this condition, it would have flared up a long time ago and wouldn’t have ended up like this. The kitten shook its head, no.
Xie Yan was relieved. As long as it was not congenital, there would be a treatment. Then he asked, “Have you been injured by others?”
Ji Qinghuai understood what Xie Yan was trying to do. Xie Yan wanted to understand the cause and prescribe an appropriate treatment. The kitten shook its head again, no.
Then, there was only one possibility left.
“Did you eat something cold by mistake?”
Ji Qinghuai himself, couldn’t answer this question.
He knew that his condition could only be triggered by something he had accidentally eaten, but he knew nothing about what he ate or when he ate it. The kitten could only shake its head again.
Xie Yan understood that the kitten was just as clueless about its condition. It was a bit difficult to solve this if they had no other information. They didn’t know what the kitten had consumed by mistake so he couldn’t prescribe the right medicine. How can this look good?
As he was contemplating his next actions, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He stood up and opened the door. It was a takeout he had ordered for breakfast.
Vegetable porridge and steamed buns.
Xie Yan placed the food on the table but before he sat down, he took out his phone and opened WeChat with a person nicknamed ‘Xu Luo’.
Xu Luo was a friend of his who had studied medicine for many years. He majored in Chinese medicine and had cured a lot of difficult and complicated diseases. Now he was working in the Food and Drug Administration. It was also Xu Luo who told him to buy those herbs.
Xie Yan: I’m not sure what caused it, but is there a way to solve it?
He put down his phone and took out the vegetable porridge. When he was about to reach for the steamed bun, his phone vibrated.
Xu Luo: Brother, why are you so hard on me in the early morning?
Xu Luo: How about you bring the person over to me to see.
Xie Yan: Not a person.
After replying, he picked up a steamed bun. The phone vibrated another two times.
Xu Luo: …
Xu Luo: Mr. Xie, it’s not good to curse others.
Xie Yan looked at the message and didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. His reply was simple so he thought that Xu Luo misunderstood him.
Xie Yan: It’s my cat.
Xu Luo: …
Xu Luo: Are you sure it’s just a cat?
Xie Yan: Yes.
Xu Luo didn’t reply quickly this time and took about half a minute to reply.
Xu Luo: What kind of cat is so lucky to make you care this much?
Xu Luo: Bring it here next time.
Xie Yan: Okay.
After replying, he took a bite of the bun, chewed it and suddenly stopped. Xie Yan looked at the filling and put down the steamed bun in silence.
The kitten was confused.
Xie Yan spoke, “I don’t like coriander.”
Then he took a spoon and ate the vegetable porridge by itself. Since there was coriander in the steamed bun, he didn’t even glance at it.
Ji Qinghuai watched Xie Yan quietly, learning more about Xie Yan’s living habits. He doesn’t like other drinks or coriander, I’ll remember it.
The author has something to say:
Xie Yan: I heard someone thought I was a brown bear? Isn’t that too big?
Someone needs to talk to my school’s biology department because what are they doing-
RIP my grades 
Thanks for the chapter!🥰
Thank you for the updateee! throws confetti (’cause party party yayy~) 🎊💃
P.S. Sounds like my school’s biology department… 🙂
I’ll pray for both our grades then QAQ
Lol ya XD
».. and in the corner of the balcony was a silver cat huddled in the corner.« How about “huddled into it.” at the end?
» It had attacked two times within three days..« “It was attacked two times” (bc of that thing before + snake) or “It had attacks two times”.
Why did he shake his head when XY asked if he was attacked? :’D I already thoughg that my memory sucked lol Or he didn’t consider that bite as an attack.
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
Thanks for pointing it out, I edited that sentence already! The ‘It’ refers to the poison and the two times it attacked was when XY first found JQH and in the balcony in this chapter. I think that JQH probably didn’t consider that bite as an attack LOL. After all, he did tell Qin Lang that he wasn’t injured XD Our kitty has too much pride
Okay, makes sense now with the poison xD I wasn’t able to think of that. Too much pride or is he just overestimating himself? (Or is both the same? lol)
This guy really has a peculiar taste
Thanks for the chapter~
thank you for the chapter!
