But.
It was precisely because of this that her tears started falling, immediately hugging the little kitten, crying sorrowfully: âSister-in-law, Aunty, you really hid it from me well, these past few days I reallyâ¦â
Thinking about the days she lived through recently, Zhao Li couldnât help but tear up, seeing the little kitten sleeping in her arms made her laugh and cry at the same time, looking almost like a madwoman.
ââ¦â The eight boys.
So now thereâs another one whoâs gone mad?
The eight boys looked at each other, and in the end, Ruan Lei, who had spent the most time with Ruan Jiaojiao, leaned forward towards Zhao Li, waved at the little kitten, and said, âWell, how about you prove that you are Jiaojiao?â
ââ¦â The other seven boys.
Almost rolled their eyes back.
âAlright, believe it or not, itâs up to you. Calling you in here now, aside from this matter, was also to let you know that when the time comes, each of you needs to lend a portion of your luck to allow your sister to return.â
The Ruanlin Family matriarch sitting on the bed impatiently said, waving her hand again after speaking: âAlright, alright, leave now, just looking at you all gives me a headache.â
Even after being chased out of the room, the eight brothers were still a bit slow to react.
So, they are going to have a cat sister from now on?
But they didnât know the cost of their hesitation.
Ruan Jiaojiaoâs soul was residing in the little kittenâs body, needing time for transition, currently in the transition period, a state of confusion.
Due to lacking a part of her soul, there were some aftereffects, coupled with the limited capacity of a catâs brain, she had a seventy-two-hour period for recognizing people, meaning today was the last day of that recognition period, and after today, when she regains her memories, she will only remember the people she recognized during that time, and forget the others.
So far, the people she recognized include the Ruanlin Family matriarch, Shu Jiao, and Ruan Jianguo, and now Zhao Li was added to the list, so when her memories are restored, she will only sync the memories of these people, forgetting all others.
After the boys left, Zhao Li held the little kitten affectionately, kissing it until the little kitten couldnât sleep well and had to open its eyes to look at her.
Seeing a blurry figure before her, the innate closeness made her lick Zhao Liâs face.
Zhao Li immediately looked at the Ruanlin Family matriarch and Shu Jiao in surprise: âAunty, sister-in-law, Jiaojiao kissed me! She must still remember me!â
âIndeed, though she cannot speak, her heart knows who to be close to.â The Ruanlin Family matriarch said, handing a small milk bottle soaked in goat milk to Zhao Li.
Zhao Li cautiously placed it in the little kittenâs mouth, seeing her hold it with her little paws and drink happily, she felt her heart melt with affection.
She asked Shu Jiao while supporting the small milk bottle: âXiaoxi is so young, can he really find the Thousand-year-old Ginseng?â
The critical point now was whether Xiu Xi could find the Thousand-year-old Ginseng. If he couldnât, and Ruan Jiaojiaoâs body decayed, it would mean she couldnât return, having to live as a cat forever, which was what they didnât want to see.
âHe will find it, I believe in him. That child is capable, and isnât there also Rou Rou?â As for Xiaobai, its existence was still kept a secret for now.
Zhao Li nodded, looking at the little kitten in her arms, firmly believing she was her goddaughter, because just looking at her, she felt overwhelming love; she had never felt this way towards anyone else except Ruan Jiaojiao.
