The Eldest Young Master's Custom Gift

The girl was fragrant and soft, and the kitten was fragrant and soft too. Ruanruan slept sweetly and had a beautiful dream of wine pools and meat forests. Beauties surrounded her, and she was like an empress who had conquered the world, living in drunken revelry... with songs and dances celebrating peace... She couldn't have been happier!

That morning, Lu Linyuan called Lu Yiyi to ask how Ruanruan was doing. Ruanruan had already sunk so deeply into the land of tenderness that she had clearly forgotten all about him on his business trip. The call didn't wake her.

Lu Yiyi answered the phone with sleepy eyes and lowered her voice. "Hello, brother. It must be late where you are. Why are you calling me?" She yawned after speaking. Her brother's call had woken her up.

"You're still sleeping in? What about Ruanruan? Did you make her breakfast? Remember to add fish oil," he instructed her carefully.

Lu Yiyi turned to look at Ruanruan, curled up and sleeping soundly on the pillow beside her, a suspicious glistening liquid at the corner of her mouth. Helplessly, she said to her brother, "Look what time it is. Ruanruan's still asleep. Auntie will make her something tasty when she wakes up, so don't worry. Get some rest early when you're done."

"Oh, she's still asleep." Lu Linyuan paused when he heard that, then said casually, "Then take a picture for me. I want to see what she looks like asleep."

"Then I'll hang up and send it to you in a bit." After hanging up, she opened the camera. How could one photo soothe her brother's lonely heart, missing Ruanruan so far away in another country? No one knew a brother better than his sister. Of course she had to take a video.

Lu Yiyi filmed Ruanruan from every angle, leaving no blind spots. She even zoomed in on the little thing drooling in her sleep, then said with a grin in a quiet voice for the video, "See that? Who knows what lovely dream she's having? How much tasty food must there be in it to make the child drool in her sleep?"

The video was a good two or three minutes long. After receiving it, he opened it and watched it all the way through, then replied, "She's a foodie. I'm not at all surprised she drools in her sleep." It was completely Ruanruan's style.

"All right, you've seen the cat. I'm going to wash up. It's almost noon here, so why are you still awake? Get some rest. What do you have to worry about with me here? I'll take some more videos for you later. If that's not enough, can't you watch the surveillance feed?"

"She sticks to you all day and doesn't even stay in the cat room anymore. The surveillance cameras might as well be decorations."

"Hahaha, looks like you need to hang a little camera on her collar. Then you'll know what she's doing every day," Lu Yiyi joked.

The other end of the line was quiet for a moment, then he suddenly said, "That's an idea. I'll consider it."

"..."

It was already eleven when Ruanruan woke up. Lu Yiyi had tried to wake her in the meantime, but she hadn't stirred and had continued sleeping like a log. At one point, Lu Yiyi wondered if the little thing had passed out. Later, Auntie told her that Ruanruan had always been a heavy sleeper and there was no need to worry. She even pointed at Ruanruan's belly and said, "Look, she's still breathing. It's going up and down."

Ruanruan had woken up hungry. She was hungry and needed to pee, so as soon as she woke up, she hurriedly jumped off the bed and ran for the litter box outside.

There wasn't just a litter box in the cat room. There was one in the first-floor hall, and there were ones in the halls on the second and third floors too. Lu Linyuan had arranged them all.

He had said bluntly at the time, "I'm afraid she won't be able to hold her pee again and will get it all over my hand and herself." Wasn't he calling her a pee gourd? Ruanruan had been so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Fortunately, her fur covered her up, and with the blank look she put on, no one noticed she was a little embarrassed.

Now she approved of Lu Linyuan's arrangement. Nice, she had a litter box on every floor, so going to the bathroom was convenient. Really nice!

Actually, it wasn't her fault she hadn't been able to hold her pee before. A tiny kitten was only so small, and her tummy couldn't hold much. She was drinking milk too, so naturally... right... you know.

After she used the litter box, the auntie in charge of the kitten's food and daily care picked her up and cleaned her. Naturally, food came next: freshly cooked salmon and diced chicken breast mixed with cat food, followed by yogurt to provide probiotics and promote gastric motility.

"You're having yogurt at noon today. Afterward, I can open a can of cat food and add water, so you won't get dehydrated."

Ruanruan didn't drink water often. She hadn't needed extra water while she was drinking milk, but now that she'd stopped, she was bigger and should be eating things like cat food and raw meat and bones, so she needed more water. That was why Auntie had thought of adding water to canned cat food. With a little flavor in the water, Ruanruan would drink it.

"Meow~" Thank you, dear. Ruanruan rubbed her tail against the auntie who cared for her.

Auntie liked Ruanruan very much. After preparing her food, she watched her eat with great focus, stroked her little bottom, then got up to do the cleaning.

"You focus on eating. I'm going to change the pad in your cat bed. I'll take the old one off and wash it, then put a new one in for you."

Lu Yiyi came upstairs after lunch. She had known Ruanruan was awake while she was downstairs, but she'd been eating at the time, so she had left Auntie to take care of her. Once upstairs, she headed straight for the cat room and saw the little one eating while watching a TV program.

She said to Auntie in surprise, "Ruanruan watches TV too?"

When Auntie heard her, she quickly replied, "Yes, she likes watching TV. She watches anything, and sometimes she even grins and laughs to herself, like she can understand it. She's a clever little rascal."

Lu Yiyi nodded. "Maybe she's more sensitive to colors, so she likes watching it." She then walked over to Ruanruan and stroked her fur. "Ruanruan doesn't guard her food at all. Some cats even bare their teeth when they see you come near."

Auntie remarked, "Isn't that the truth? I even wonder if, when I say I want some of her cat food, she'd push it over and offer it to me. She's very generous. The cats back in my hometown all guard their food. Sometimes they even hide to eat. Forget touching them-you can't even see them."

Beside them, Ruanruan was dizzy from all the praise and kept saying to herself, Stop praising me, stop praising me. You're making me embarrassed. It's perfectly normal for cats to guard their food. I don't guard mine because I know you won't eat it!

The thought made her feel a little sad. Humans didn't want to eat her food, but she desperately wanted to eat theirs.

If a cat's life was short, then she really would have to sneak some food cats couldn't eat while the humans weren't looking. Who cared? She wouldn't live long anyway, so being happy was what mattered most. Hmph, hmph.

Ruanruan had forgotten Lu Linyuan, but the following evening, Lu Linyuan had his assistant deliver a gift.

Lu Yiyi took the gift box and looked at her brother's assistant. "Is this for Ruanruan?" She glanced at Ruanruan, who had followed her downstairs and was now lying on the sofa.

As soon as Ruanruan heard there was a gift, she sprang to her feet, full of energy, and stretched out her neck to see what it was.

At the same time, she felt a little ashamed. If the eldest young master's assistant hadn't come over, she really wouldn't have remembered that this was the eldest young master's home. Yet the eldest young master had remembered to send her a gift even while he was abroad. What had she done to deserve it?

Eldest young master, why are you so good to me!

You still thought of ungrateful me even after going abroad! Boo-hoo-hoo! I love you, eldest young master!
