Before It ShrivelsCh46 - Extra 2: Xiao Dao’s Diary

01

If I’m guilty, the law will punish me instead of Papa replacing the dried fish in my mouth with deworming medicine. F3mZHE

Oh, damn humans.

I decided not to call him papa, but Old Zhou.

When Old Zhou threw me out of Xiao Xiao’s room for the nth time (this n > 10, me little kitty can’t count), I was angry.

Today should have been a beautiful night. I slept in Xiao Xiao’s quilt lying on my belly and helped him warm up with it. Because of this hateful human alpha, I could only sleep in the living room. Distressed.

Don’t think I don’t know what he’s up to. Because every time he throws me out, there’s a big, big, big, domestic violence happening! My poor Xiao Xiao cried so much that he couldn’t stop crying and begging for mercy. Human alpha really heartless.

Just you wait, Old Zhou, I will call the police sooner or later.

03

Xiao Xiao was really bullied. He had a big red patch on his neck, oh my god, what should I do?

Would it hurt less if I lick it? But why did he dodge like a frightened rabbit when I licked it? jibU9S

He picked me up and said, “Be a good boy. Don’t move.”

God, his face was red, his eyes were watery, his mouth was like strawberry jelly. I really want to kiss.

No, no I can’t. I’m a kitten with his balls cut off. I couldn’t give him happiness.

Damn Old Zhou. gFr2D0

04

I’m overjoyed. Old Zhou had an extra surgery so he’s working overtime tonight. Xiao Xiao belongs to me.

But Xiao Xiao seemed to be wilting, and he didn’t sleep until one o’clock, lounging on the sofa in the living room, changing channels over and over.. I meowed around him, trying to remind him that it was time to go to bed. 64U709

“Do you miss Papa, too?” He touched my head. “I miss him, too.”

No, I don’t. I want to sleep with you.

“Sir is so busy today, he must not have time for dinner. ”

He put on his shoes and went to the kitchen. He pulled out corn, lotus root and ribs from the fridge, as if to stew soup. gJ8DEI

Hello??? It’s the middle of the night?? Can you take a look at your little kitty who is so sleepy it can’t open its eyes?

He couldn’t see me, he only has ribs in his eyes. My heart is dead.

It was almost dawn when Old Zhou came back. Xiao Xiao was sleeping on the sofa. He woke me up when he picked Xiao Xiao up, then he made a shushing gesture to me.

Xiao Xiao also relied on Old Zhou very much in his sleep, and unconsciously arched his arms, and then Old Zhou would kiss Xiao Xiao’s forehead. Annoying, crooked human. K 8HED

If Old Zhou had treated me half as much as–no, half as gentle as he was with Xiao Xiao, I would not have introduced myself to Kitty downstairs by saying that I had no papa and only a nasty rival in love.

06

I found that humans would give people special to them names other than their first names. cWogdd

Xiao Xiao called Old Zhou “Sir”,

Old Zhou called Xiao Xiao “Baobei“.

And they call me “Xiao Dao”.

I see, I wasn’t worthy. JdFUie

Xiao Xiao and the orchestra went on tour, and I became a left-behind child.

When he was at home, Old Zhou would come home every day with a rose, and sometimes small cakes and snacks. cd80hF

He wasn’t home, so the roses were gone, and the cake was also gone.

Only Old Zhou and I stared wide-eyed with each other. I said I wanted to eat cream cake. He said he didn’t understand cat language.

Today, Old Zhou took a turn to take a rest and packed his luggage cheerfully at home. I asked him what you were going to do. He said, “I will pick up my baby. You take care of yourself at home.”

??? Amazing, didn’t you not understand cat language??? GWZPsR

On the first day of living alone, I thought about Xiao Xiao.

Then of Old Zhou on the way. EDWfrd

The study’s wall was covered with group photos of the two of them.

It’s obviously a three-person film, but I couldn’t have a complete name from beginning to end.

On the second day of living alone, I chatted with my neighbor Golden Retriever on the balcony. Golden Retriever was in his teens and was a lazy old fella.

He asked me about the cute little beta in my family, and I said that the little beta went to earn cat food for me.

“Nice, cute and capable.” Golden Retriever shook his head. “The sound of his piano always reminds me of my first love. She is an elegant and beautiful Dalmatian dog with slender and powerful calves, which are more charming than Reindeer. Do you know Reindeer? It’s an animal that brings good luck to people.”

I know. Last Christmas, Old Zhou drove Xiao Xiao and I to Denmark, where the snow would reflect the moon’s brilliance at night, twinkling like broken stars. i7ZEWT

Old Zhou and Xiao Xiao built a big snowman, and the next morning it was kicked over by a passing reindeer. I don’t know if this animal would bring good luck, I just know that its legs were indeed very slender and powerful.

That Christmas, after the snowman turned into a snowdrift, Xiao Xiao puffed his cheeks and became angry for a long time. Old Zhou bumped into the muzzle of the gun and said he was like a puffer fish, and then they had a snowball fight. C5wvJb

Human beings are so childish.

Xiao Xiao had a lot of bad ideas. When he couldn’t beat Old Zhou, he threw himself down in the snow and pretended to faint. Old Zhou was so scared that he hurriedly ran over to look at him. Then Xiao Xiao suddenly jumped up and overturned Old Zhou to the ground, holding a snowball and smashed it down, and then…

As much as I sympathize, I had to say that Xiao Xiao deserved what came after.

Today a pigeon landed outside the window, saying that he had come from the south and had visited the The Grande Seine concert hall on his way through Paris, where a world-famous symphony orchestra was performing.

I proudly told him that the second chair cello of that orchestra was my shit shoveling officer, and he’d be going home soon.

As soon as I finished speaking, Old Zhou’s car drove downstairs. Xiao Xiao got out of the shotgun seat with a blue box. I recognized at a glance that it was my favorite cupcake. Then Old Zhou came down with Xiao Xiao’s cello on his back. They held hands as they went home together. The setting sun cast a long shadow behind them, a picture I could see almost every day. MNlIn2

Xiao Xiao’s health has not been very good. He always had a cold as the seasons changed. He was undoubtedly exhausted from the tour, because he had a fever not long after he returned.

He was so coquettish. He was leaning on the head of the bed and reading a book, but when he heard Old Zhou come in, he immediately put down the book and retreated under the quilt, whimpering and begging to be hugged. I remember that he was not like this at first, and I don’t know when he started to become more and more squeamish. Hmph. leQpMi

Old Zhou, on the other hand, ate this act, coaxing and distressed like nothing else.

Why don’t the two of them have a baby? Old Zhou looked like a good babysitter.

13 Qcq0jI

Someone came to the house today as a guest. It was a very good-looking Mr. Beta, who looked a bit like Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao called him senior and asked him why he came by himself. The senior said that he was so annoyed by “little brat ” or “little sunuvabitch”, so he went abroad to relax and hide quietly.

Oddly enough, the dog’s words are understandably annoying. Sometimes this animal is really dishonest.

Were rabbits annoying too? GQNiqn

We cats are better.

I like summer. yf6d4X

In summer, there were green trees, blue sky and small fishes swimming in the pool. And Xiao Xiao’s birthday.

The birthday party revealed information about the family dynamic. Xiao Xiao’s birthday was more important in our family than Christmas and New Year’s Day. Old Zhou wanted to have magnificent presents from all over the world piled in front of him. I’m confused; is the doctor’s compensation so high? Golden Retriever next door made it pretty clear that this was a thankless job.

Oh, my god. Old Zhou didn’t have an illegal side business, does he? If he gets arrested, I could replace him as the most important person-pei, cat in Xiao Xiao’s heart?

Dreams shattered.

Old Zhou proposed successfully.

Damn it. 68pKt2

If I remember correctly, this was the third time he proposed. The first two times, Xiao Xiao said no. This shameless alpha said he would be 40 years old in a few years and his health would be deteriorating day by day. If something bad happened to him, he wouldn’t even have anyone to sign on the surgery notice.

Peipeiei!!! His health is deteriorating day by day? Pei, then I believe in ghosts.

When he tossed Xiao Xiao all night, why didn’t he say that his health is deteriorating day by day?

Old fox, shame on you. PdHSB6

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao was moved by his words, and he regretfully reflected on whether he was too willful and did not take into account Old Zhou’s feelings.

My god, my idiot Xiao Xiao, how could you be so stupid?

Anyway, they’re getting married.

In the end, I’m the only single cat. FuEzqm

Translator’s Feed:

And that’s the final chapter of this story!!! Thank you so much for everyone who stayed until the end. It was a slow journey but we all managed to get here in the end (blame this translator for having poor schedule pps. real life kinda sucks). I’m finally closing this book and moving on to my other projects. Thanks again, especially for those who stayed from the start until the end. And for those who supported and offered their appreciations, I can never be more thankful!! I’ll take my time reading everyone’s comments from the past chapters, because I really love to read your takes on every chapter. It just makes me feel like I’m not the only one reading here and I have someone with me. I love you, guys! 

PS. I just realized I posted the very first chapter on August 3, and I posted this on January 3. Exactly 5 months had passed since I posted this novel here hahahaaha. Also, I’ll probably be making an epub of this and then putting it on kofi just in case someone wants an epub copy of this. I’d rather do it myself than find an epub of my translation being distributed without my consent, as what happened to my other co-translators (and even authors!! yes, their works also had an epub without their consent) here on CG. Please, if anyone has seen/encountered platforms where epubs of CG novels are being posted, tell us! Thank you so much.  nqvzrd
