Chapter 38
"Raise a cat?" Ding Sha subconsciously repeated, "Where is there a cat?"

"There's one at the new house," Xiao Jun smiled, "The landlady said there's currently a single mother living in the yard. Her belly is round and she sunbathes in the yard every day. By the time we move in, she'll probably have given birth to kittens."

"If we want to raise her, we should bring her back now instead of scaring her when we start renovating." Ding Sha said almost without hesitation, "Let's raise her!"

Xiao Jun brought the shivering cat mom back after just a few days. She was a tortoiseshell cat with delicate features and a very skinny body but large belly.

She looked at people warily and cautiously.

Ding Sha felt a little distressed as she stroked her, "You must have been so frightened!"

Xiao Jun was still taking things out of the car: cat litter, litter box, food bowl, cat food, treats, cat bed - he had bought back all kinds of stuff in one go.

He pulled down his mask and took a breath, "I took her to the pet hospital. It's not good to vaccinate her while she's pregnant with kittens. I was afraid she would have an adverse reaction. We'll take her back in a few days after she calms down for a bath."

Ding Sha hmm-ed in acknowledgment. After Xiao Jun washed his hands and came back, she placed Little Ping An in his arms and squatted down herself to look at the little tortoiseshell still curled up in the corner.

Considering she had just arrived, Ding Sha made some cat food using sheep's milk powder and brought it over to her in a bowl, "Are you hungry? Eat something."

The little tortoiseshell stared at her warily, not moving a muscle.

Ding Sha put down the food bowl and pulled Xiao Jun away, "Don't keep staring at her, it'll scare her."

"Let's just go about our business normally and give her some time to settle in."

Xiao Jun seemed to sort of understand as he followed her.

Ding Sha tidied away all the cat stuff Xiao Jun had bought. Then she went into the kitchen.

Xiao Jun followed her in, "Are you hungry? Let me do it."

"I'm not hungry," Ding Sha shook her head, "I'm making something for Little Cat to eat."

"Don't you have cat food?" Xiao Jun asked, puzzled.

"Of course cats need a more varied diet. And she's a mother," Ding Sha said matter-of-factly, "So she should eat better."

"Oh..." Xiao Jun nodded.

Ding Sha opened the fridge, "Where did you put the chicken breast I bought before?"

"It's in the bottom shelf," Xiao Jun pointed it out to her, "There's also basa fish."

"Perfect!" Ding Sha took them out to defrost.

"Is there any shrimp? What about beef?" Ding Sha asked uncertainly. She hadn't been the one cooking these past few days so she wasn't sure what was in the house.

"We have both, second shelf from the bottom, take a look," Xiao Jun thought about it.

Little Ping An craned his neck up high to watch Ding Sha crouching to grab things from the fridge. Xiao Jun straightened him back up but he was unhappy about it and scrunched up his face, on the verge of tears.

"There, there, I've offended His Highness!" Xiao Jun simply crouched down too so Little Ping An could see Ding Sha.

Little Ping An stared curiously with wide eyes, trying to reach out and grab her hands.
