Not too many out of four

After the club activity time ended, Toshika Fujimine began to pack up the painting tools.

"Are you going back so early today, Li Jia?" Sakura Chiyo asked curiously.

Li Jia used to stay until the end before leaving, and during this time, she actually left the art club with them.

Sakura Chiyo thought of something, sneaked over and asked in a low voice, "Is it because your brother in Tedan High School next door has been going out with his girlfriend recently, that's why you dare to go home early?"

They often discuss in private whether Li Jia's brother, a high school detective, looks down on his sister from the countryside and secretly bullies others, causing Li Jia to stay in school until late before going home.

Fujimine Toshika was stunned, and shook his head again and again to explain: "No, no, my brother is very good to me."

Only now did she realize that the seniors in the club seemed to have a deep misunderstanding of her brother.

"I've been going home so early recently," she whispered, "because I have kittens at home, and I want to go back and take care of them earlier."

It's not that she dared to go home because her terrible brother didn't come home.

Although Brother Shinichi is only her cousin, he has always taken care of her as his own sister. Uncle Kudo and Aunt Kudo are also very kind to her, but she just has a hard time getting through it.

...I feel that it is not my own home after all, and she is very embarrassed to live in Kudou's house.

But since adopting cats, she has realized that her brother is not such an unapproachable person.

"Has Li Jia raised a kitten?" Sakura Chiyo was excited and looking forward to it: "How long have you been raising it? Will you let me pet it? Will you go out often?"

Li Jia nodded obediently, and answered her questions sentence by sentence: "Well, I have raised four kittens, about half a month old. They are usually very obedient and easy to pet, but they don't like being hugged very much. The youngest one likes to go out."

When talking about cats at home, Li Jia turned her introverted and shy personality to answer Sakura Chiyo's question, but the orange-haired girl with a longer reflex arc didn't notice that Li Jia was different from usual, she just kept chatting with her excitedly .

Sakura's house is on the same road as Kudo's house, so Li Jia naturally carried her schoolbag and left the school with her.

When it was time to part, Sakura Chiyo happily waved her goodbye: "Li Jia, let's go home together next week."

Li Jia was a little surprised, pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Well, let's go home together next week."

……

Opening the door of Kudo's house, a fluffy orange cat squatted on the carpet, shaking its ears and walking towards her.

Li Jia knelt down and touched Mao Mao's head: "I'm back, Chuya."

"Mi." The cat with a black collar bowed its head and obediently let it be touched. After Li Jia withdrew her hand, she leaned over to sniff and lick the skin on her knee.

Because of the experience that the cats were accidentally lost last time and almost could not be found, Dr. Ali, who lives next door to Kudo House, specially created collars with GPS positioning for the four cats.

Facing the black leather collars with GPS positioning, the cats took the initiative to put on the black collars without showing any discomfort.

It seems that they all know that wearing a collar is Li Jia's cat, and wearing a positioning system will no longer make her worry about running around to find it.

"The wound is already healed." Li Jia didn't take a good rest for the wound that was caused by nibbling at the Cupo Pet Hospital half a month ago. Instead, she ran around all day looking for the lost cat, which caused the wound to rub and deteriorate. It took a long time to walk. is limping.

The lost kitten became much more lively after being found, and would often follow Li Jia around the house, sniffing the wound on his knee worriedly from time to time, and if it smelled blood, it would urge Li Jia to go rest.

She lowered her head and pressed her head against her, stretched her paws and scratched her a few times. Mimi yelled and urged her to sit down and rest.

"Mi, mi." The little cat's cry was short, and it tilted its head and rubbed against her hand.

"Do you want to pet it?" Li Jia stretched out her hand and scratched the cat's jaw and neck, and her fingers sank into the soft and warm cat's fur.

The cat whose tail is always flicking back and forth is so comfortable that it raises its head and makes a pleasant purring sound, and the rhythm of the fast flicking tail slows down to a regular pat.

"You're very good today, Zhongye." Taking advantage of the kitten's comfort and relaxation against her palm, Li Jia hugged Zhongye's cat into her arms, as gentle as a baby.

After waking up, Mao Mao struggled a few times, trying to jump out of Li Jia's arms, but Li Jia, who adopted the kittens for half a month, was not the same as she was half a month ago.

She lowered her head and kissed Zhongye Mao Mao's tender little nose, and said with a smile, "Let's go find Brother Zhongye."

Zhongye Maomao froze, and flicked the tip of its tail twice to calm down: "...Mi."

Since all the kittens at home only recognize the name Zhongye, no matter what she calls them, they will not realize that it is their name. In desperation, all four kittens use the name Zhongye together.

However, in order to distinguish cats and cats, even if they are all meowing, some differences are needed.

The names of the four orange and white kittens are: Zhongye Jun, Zhongye, Zhongye Nissan, and Zhongye Sang. These are the names used for the cats to go to the hospital for vaccinations and physical examinations.

In the beginning, Li Jia struggled hard for three days for the name that the Zhongye cats wanted to build a file.

In the end, Kudo Shin couldn't stand her embarrassing himself so much, so he simply said: "It's better to call them all, anyway, they only respond to this name."

Li Jia whispered distressedly: "But the hospital records cannot be all Zhongye."

You can't call them such perfunctory names as Zhongye No. [-], Zhongye No. [-], Zhongye No. [-], and Zhongye No. [-].

The doctor who created a file for the cat would probably think that she is a diehard fan of the poet Nakahara Chuya, and even all the cats in the family must be named Zhongya.

"I think so," Kudo Shinichi looked down at the orange cat dumpling in Lijia's hand, and tried to reach out to touch it, but Maomao avoided it without hesitation: "This one is called Chuya, and the smaller one is called Chuya. Mr. Zhongye, the older ones are called Brother Zhongye and Mr. Zhongye, this perfectly solves the problem of names."

He raised his eyebrows, Li Jia's cat is not big, but has a big temper.

Li Jia hesitated and said, "Is this okay?"

Kudo Shinichi shrugged: "You will know if you try it."

According to his brother, Li Jia tentatively called them this way.

Sure enough, the kittens only react to the name Chuya, even if the name is followed by an honorific title, it doesn't matter.

As long as she calls Zhongye, the cats will stick their heads out from their hiding corners to see her.

But occasionally it happens that what she calls is Mr. Nakaya comes but another Nakaya cat.

The cats seem to only know that their name is Zhongya, but they can't remember the honorifics that Li Jia added to distinguish them.

Most of the time, no matter what distinction she adds to the cats' names, as long as she calls out Zhongye, the cats will respond together.

"Huh? Has Mr. Zhongye gone out again?" Easy to find the two largest cats in the study and bedroom, Li Jia walked around the rest of the house but couldn't find the smallest cat, Zhongye, so he opened Dr. Ali Give her location tracker.

Three bright red dots gathered together, and the remaining red dot stayed far outside.

Strange to say, the four cats brought back by Li Jia will go out occasionally, but when Li Jia comes home from school, they will come back obediently, only the youngest cat...

It is very, very fond of beckoning, cats, teasing, and dogs outside.

Every day I go to school with Li Jia, send her to the school gate, and then wander around and explore the whole Mihua Town by myself.

If it’s just that, it’s fine. The key is that the smallest Zhongye cat often encounters stray cats and dogs. Li Jia went out to look for it a few times and saw the cat confronting the stray cat.

The two cats arched their backs and let out threatening breaths at each other, seeing that Lijia was terrified.

The stray cat opposite Zhongye Maomao is the white general of Mihua Town, known as the invincible opponent of all cats and cats in Mihua Town, an adult cat that is three or four circles bigger than Zhongye Maomao.

She was so nervous that she wanted to call it a cat, but she was also afraid that it would be a cat when General Bai attacked.

Li Jia approached them slowly and cautiously, and the stocky and heavy big white cat made a hoarse meow with a fierce face.

"Next, good afternoon, General Bai..." Li Jia didn't stop approaching, but slowly lowered her body.

Huang Chengcheng's cat eyes were fixed on Zhongye Maomao, and Fluffy swept the ground with his big gray tail.

"This kid is new to our family, can I, take him away?" Li Jia's dry and tense throat was slightly hoarse, and Li Jia's hands slowly fell on the furred back hair of her cat.

Zhongye Maomao raised its warlike and straight tail and moved its tail. Its eyes still did not leave General Bai, and it already felt that Li Jia was approaching behind him.

She carefully picked up the cat by the forelimbs of the orange ball. The cat with fried fur was so hard that it refused to be subdued no matter what.

Li Jia coaxed softly: "Mr. Zhongye is a good boy, and General Bai is also a good boy. You can't fight."

Although General Bai is a well-known cat in Mihua Town, he has always been lazy and docile towards human cubs and girls. If it weren't for this, Li Jia would not dare to approach their battlefields at will.

Combing Zhongya Maomao's orange fur with fingers, its body slowly softened, stepped on her arm, climbed up to the shoulder and squatted: "Meow? Meow."

"Mr. Zhongye is not at home, I am very worried about you." Li Jia answered Maomao's question while squatting down and unwrapping cat snacks for General Bai.

Since raising a kitten at home, Li Jia always brings some cat snacks with her when she goes out.

Of course, this is not for the kittens who can’t eat freeze-dried kittens for the time being, but for the stray cats near Mihua Town.

She hopes that the kittens who have eaten her cat's snacks will remember the smell of her body, and not bully the Zhongya cats in her family who occasionally go out to get some fresh air.

The veterinarian said that the Zhongye cats were still kittens less than two months old, and it would be terrible if they encountered a big cat like General Bai who was rude to the cats.
