I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

After a pause, Chen Shuo asked again, "So what name are you going to give it?"

Bai Xiaoqi gently stroked the cat's back, meowing several times, and then pointed at Chen Shuo.

"I asked you to name it, and what were you saying to it?" As he spoke, Chen Shuo noticed that she was still pointing at him, and paused to ask, "Were you talking badly about me to it?"

"I told it that you're a filthy bad guy and that it should stay away from you from now on." Bai Xiaoqi felt that her concern was necessary. What if this guy peeks at the male and female of the little orange cats again?

So I had to talk to the little orange cat and tell it to stay away from this bad guy, but unfortunately it didn't seem to understand.

"laugh....."

Chen Shuo scoffed dismissively, feeling that this silly girl was overthinking things. He would only like her, this cute little kitten. As for the little orange cat, what was that?

Go away, don't come over and disturb me while I'm holding my little kitten.

Chapter 231 The sister-in-law is half of the brother-in-law's butt

Bai Xiaoqi carried the little orange cat around the room, pointing here and there, meowing incessantly. Chen Shuo sat on the sofa with a water glass, silently watching, probably teaching the cat to get used to its new environment.

As for whether the little orange cat can understand, these two are meowing back and forth, it seems like they're going back and forth.

A large-scale cat-themed social event.

After a while, the continuous meowing finally stopped. Chen Shuo rubbed his ears and asked, "Have you thought of a name for it yet?"

"I've already decided, I'll name it Orange Little Eight."

"You were the one who gave me this name..."

Chen Shuo wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start. Bai Xiaoqi, Ju Xiaoba, or Ju Xiaoba?

They sound like sisters.

"So she's my sister-in-law and I'm her brother-in-law?"

"what?"

Bai Xiaoqi paused for a moment, then shook her head. "No, then we can't call him Ju Xiaoba."

"...Why is that?"

"Because my aunt's husband is half of my brother-in-law's butt."

"No, where did you learn all these slang terms?"

Chen Shuo frowned. How come this silly girl has such a wide range of knowledge now? She even knows these folk sayings. Will she start reciting rhymes all the time next?

That would be terrible.

The sister-in-law is half of the brother-in-law's butt, so the name Ju Xiaoba was ruled out. According to Bai Xiaoqi's usual naming style, this was the only name she could think of. After thinking for a while, she looked at Chen Shuo and said, "You give it a name."

"I?"

Chen Shuo pointed to the tip of his nose, somewhat incredulous. This silly girl had actually entrusted him with the task of naming the child. She really had... found the right person.

Without even thinking, he blurted out, "Let's call him Gou Dan."

“…”

Bai Xiaoqi looked at him without saying a word.

"...Haha, just kidding. It's not appropriate to name a cat 'Dog Egg'. Let me think about it."

Chen Shuo chuckled, tapping his nose with his finger. He really wasn't good at naming things; he'd spend ages even thinking of names for minor characters in novels. Later, he just asked readers for suggestions in the book review section, which saved him a lot of trouble.

It's just that those people's demands are rather bizarre.

Often, after a name is revealed, there's always a line added: "This is my ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend; I hope they suffer a terrible fate."

You're saying this.....

The world is vast, but the readers are the most important; he can only try his best to satisfy them.

"Look, it's orange-yellow, how about we call it Orange Egg? Or Yellow Egg would be fine too."

Bai Xiaoqi frowned and couldn't help but ask, "If you like eggs so much, why don't you name yourself Chen Gou Dan (Chen Dog Egg)?"

"My parents chose my name, and I had no say in it. Besides, my name was chosen based on my birth date."

"Date of birth?" Bai Xiaoqi seemed a little surprised. "Then why aren't you named Chen Chuyi?"

"Why should I be called Chen Chuyi?" Chen Shuo seemed even more surprised.

"Weren't you born on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Oh, you can call him Chen Danian too."

Chen Chuyi, Chen Danian.

Bai Xiaoqi felt that these two names were only related to the first day of the Lunar New Year, as for Shuo, it was hard to understand.

Can't figure it out.

"See? This exposes your ignorant and incompetent nature. I told you to read more books, but you went and fed pigs instead."

"I feed you."

“That’s true, hehe…” Chen Shuo chuckled.

“…”

“…”

Bai Xiaoqi followed his gaze and looked down. She felt both ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but glare at him.

“…”

Seeing her unfriendly expression, Chen Shuo casually looked away and then changed the subject, saying, "The beginning of the moon is called Shuo, which means that the first day of each month is the new moon. The first day of the year, like the first day of the Lunar New Year, is the real new moon. That's why I'm called Chen Shuo, understand?"

“…”

Bai Xiaoqi was too lazy to deal with this annoying guy. She picked up the little orange cat and went to the balcony. She squatted down and pulled out a bag of cat food covered in dust from the corner of the balcony.

Chen Shuo leaned over to see what she was doing squatting there, and as soon as he entered the balcony, he saw her pull out this bag of cat food and was immediately shocked. "Don't tell me you're going to feed it this?"

"Human food is unhealthy. Cats' stomachs are different from humans' stomachs. They can only eat cat food. That's what you told me before."

"Then do you think this thing is still edible? It's been sitting for two years. One bite and it'll kill the cat."

"It hasn't been stored for two years, I think it's only been a year and a half. The expiration date says eighteen months, and the production date is 2021... Oh, it seems to have expired."

Bai Xiaoqi tugged at the bag and looked at the expiration date. Finally, she turned her head and asked, "If it's expired, you can't eat it, right?"

"What do you say?"

Chen Shuo asked in return, glancing down at the little orange cat on the ground. The poor little thing was still affectionately rubbing its head against her leg, completely unaware that the girl who was trying to befriend it wanted to feed it expired cat food.

"I'm going out later to buy it a new bag of cat food, and then I'll have to buy it a bed."

Chen Shuo stroked his chin and looked around, considering where to put the cat bed after buying it, but the rented room was too small, and it didn't seem suitable to put it anywhere.

Sleeping on the balcony will be very cold at night, and if you put it in the living room, it will make the already small space even worse.

But it can only be placed in the living room; you can't put it in the bedroom and let this little thing act as a light bulb.

However, we'll be moving into a new house in less than two months, and then there will be more space, enough to make a small room for it.

"Oh, I also need to buy cat litter and a litter box to put on the balcony so it can use the toilet there from now on." Chen Shuo remembered the importance of the litter box's location; it had to be placed in a well-ventilated area.

This is of utmost importance. Back then, he missed out on a lot because of the placement of the litter box.

That year, he was a junior in college. One day, a female student from the same department came up to him and said that her cat could do backflips and asked if he wanted to go and see it.

Chen Shuo thought to himself, "Wow, this is something new, I have to go and see it."

That junior girl rented a small single room in a village in the city near the school. When she opened the door, wow, tears streamed down her face involuntarily.

It was fumes from the smoke.

Chen Shuo didn't even have time to watch the backflip; he covered his eyes and turned to leave. Later, he realized he had missed out on a project worth hundreds of millions.

"Cat litter box?"

Bai Xiaoqi thought for a moment and roughly knew what he was talking about, then asked, "Can't we just leave it in the bathroom?"

"Of course you can, but you have to make it clear to it beforehand that it will squat on the toilet to use the toilet from now on."

Chen Shuo readily agreed without any objection, as there were many benefits. Not to mention saving money on buying a litter box and cat litter, at least he wouldn't have to be a cat owner every day.

"If you could also teach it to flush the toilet after each use and then run to the sink to wash its paws by itself, that would be even better." Chen Shuo wanted to make things even easier.

"Then I'll go talk to it." Bai Xiaoqi seemed confident, and took the little orange cat to the bathroom. Soon, another chorus of meows erupted...

Chapter 232 It gave me the food on its own initiative.

I want to teach a cat to use the toilet, and then flush and wash its paws after it's done.

If you try to accomplish this through sheer training, it will be harder than climbing to the sky.

Unless it becomes a spirit or turns into a human.

But this is even more difficult; it took Bai Xiaoqi nearly a hundred years to transform from a cat into a human.

Judging from its size and weight, the little orange kitten seems to be around eight or nine months old. However, orange kittens are a bit different; they're like a mudslide among cats. Not only are they prone to getting fat, but they also eat a lot. Once they're full, they won't move from their spot; they'll just lie there and relax.

It's much fatter than other breeds of cats of the same age, so its actual age should be around five or six months.

Bai Xiaoqi originally thought that everyone could meow happily together without any communication barriers, and that teaching someone how to use the toilet would be a piece of cake.

But she soon realized she was overthinking it. The cat language she spoke couldn't be too complicated, otherwise the silly cat wouldn't understand and would just meow at her in confusion.

She can understand when she wants to go to the toilet, but she can't understand when she says she wants to go to the toilet. This is based on experiments. Every time she says she wants to go to the toilet on the toilet, the cat obediently starts to pee anywhere.

So Bai Xiaoqi kept mopping the floor. Later, she pointed at the toilet and meowed, saying, "You need to go to the toilet there." The little orange cat just drooped its head and meowed softly, indicating that it had no more drops left.

"How can you be so stupid? When I was your age, I already knew how to use a horse..." Bai Xiaoqi couldn't continue speaking. She had never used a toilet before, after all, it was in the mountains and conditions were harsh.

Every time I need to use the toilet, I just dig a small hole, squat there to relieve myself, and then cover it up with dirt when I'm done.

So she squatted down and then spoke in a serious tone, "Your living conditions are so much better now, you even have a toilet. Unlike when I lived in the mountains, I didn't even have a toilet back then. If I wanted to use the toilet, I had to dig a hole myself, which was really troublesome."

"Meow..." the little orange cat meowed pitifully. I'm just a little kitten, I can't understand human speech.

Chen Shuo was carrying a bag of newly bought cat food when he came back from outside. He heard her words as he entered the house and felt that something was wrong. There was a strange sense of familiarity about it.

Upon further reflection, I remembered that my grandfather had said the same thing to me back then: "Your living conditions are good now, and you can go to school. Unlike us back then, we couldn't even afford to go to school. If we wanted to go to school, we had to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to the city, which was extremely hard."
