Pursuing Life Is Hard Everytime

C8: Stealing Father's Jade

The next day, three shocking events happened from Jia's house. One is..

He Qian blinked hard. He can't believe his eyes as he stared intently at the equally surprised Xiao Xiao who was checking his own self trying to figure out what happened to him.

"Wow!" Xiao Xiao laughed happily. "Did I just grow up in one night? Wow!"

He Qian was even more shock hearing the kitten's baby voice also advancing into a teenager's. "H-How did it happened?"

"I don't know. But I feel much lighter and much stronger now. I feel like I'm full of strength and power!" Xiao Xiao said amazed and suddenly he spit an ice and accidentally frozen a large part of the wall in He Qian's room and both the man and the cat had a sparkly ice as they stared surprised at each other. "You're ability improved." He Qian blurted out excitedly as the thing in the wall proves it all. Xiao Xiao indeed already activated his ice ability but he can only produce a few small amount as he used it to peirce through the skulls of the zombies that would attack them when they were still outside the base wandering there way home. "Wow!" they both laughed as He Qian carried the kitten that was already in his adult cat size as he showered it with kisses. "Xiao Xiao! You're so amazing!"

Xiao Xiao puffed up arrogantly. "Ofcourse! Who am I? I am a special kind!"

After their happiness they check the things that Xiao Xiao stoled last night and the happiness they just felt quickly evaporate as it was replaced by worries and confusal. "Those jade. It's missing! Xiao Xiao did you transfer it last night?"

"What? Impossible! I just slept the whole night."

"Damn! Did we sleep so well last night that we didn't notice a theft to barge in our room and steal from us?" He Qian asked.

"Impossible! We would've known or I alone can surely detected him be it slept or not!" Xiao Xiao argued unhappily since they both know how sensitive the kitten was into any lurking danger ever since he was hatched.

"Then how come it's missing--"

"Thief! There's a thief!"

He Qian and Xiao Xiao both look way at the door. "That was your cheap mommy screaming." Xiao Xiao commented.

He Qian nodded. "Yeah. They should have found out of the missing jades. My father should be crazy now." he said as they both look at each other until a loud knock was heard in his room. And then Xiao Xiao shrink into his original baby kitten size. He Qian gasped in amazement. "You can also do that?"

"I just think of my last form and now I'm back to being small again." Xiao Xiao said surprised as well.

Another loud knock was heard. "You can't let anyone see the wall or they will ask for it." Xiao Xiao reminded him as the kitten climb to his shoulder into his head again as it happily settled there. "Oh sweet baby! I'm glad I'm a baby kitten again!" the kitten sighed although his voice did not change anymore to it's baby kitten voice.

He Qian laughed as he get up on his bed and open the door to come out. It was the housekeeper waiting in there for him with a pale face. "You're father and the Madam wants you." she only said it as she hurriedly go to another room which is Jia Shufen's.

He Qian just shrugged and walk down the stairs as he could already hear the loud and nasty cursing of his cheap father and his cheap wife who was rumbling nonstop with nonsense. She could even hear that woman mentioning his name as the thief that made He Qian secretly laugh.

"The cheap mommy actually guess it right." Xiao Xiao teased.

"I'm just worried of where could it really be now. Was it really stolen from us?" He Qian whispered softly as to that only Xiao Xiao could hear.
