The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

“???” Old Man Shu.
He looked at the chubby bundle in Xiu Xi’s arms, then at Shu Jiao, completely unable to understand what was going on.
“Where?” he asked.
“This cat is Jiaojiao.” Shu Jiao.
“…” Old Man Shu.
Silence.
Silence.
More silence.
Old Man Shu remained silent for a good while, then tentatively guessed, “I get it, Jiaojiao is playing hide and seek with me, right? This kid really is…”
“Dad, I’m not crazy, and you didn’t mishear. This is Jiaojiao, she’s a cat now.” Shu Jiao.
“…” Old Man Shu.
“I know this is hard to believe, but it is indeed true, a lot has happened recently, Jiaojiao she…”
“Xiaojiao, your dad is not young anymore, jokes like this shouldn’t be made. Come on, let Jiaojiao in quickly, stop playing around. I’ve prepared lots of good stuff for her, just waiting for her to come and take them.” Old Man Shu.
Watching Old Man Shu who was clearly in a “I won’t listen, I won’t believe, I refuse to believe, you’re all tricking me” stance, Shu Jiao was at a loss for words.
The Ruanlin Family, sitting on the other side, said helplessly, “Jiaojiao’s grandpa, Xiaojiao’s words might not convince you, but you trust mine, don’t you? Jiaojiao had some incident recently, so she can only temporarily reside in a cat’s body, this is absolutely true, if you don’t believe, ask Xiaowen, Xiaoqiong, Xiaohao. Surely we’re not all conspiring to deceive you or have gone mad, right?”
With things said to this point, Old Man Shu really couldn’t continue pretending to not hear. He looked at Shu Wen and the others.
Then he saw Shu Wen, Qin Qiong, and Ruan Hao all nodding, expressions extremely serious.
And the little kitten in Xiu Xi’s arms also joined in looking over, with her tiny head and big eyes, tilting her head while observing him, looking quite cute with a hint of his dear granddaughter’s charm.
But—
“Then how can you prove she’s Jiaojiao? Can she even speak? Let her say a few words, call me grandpa.” Old Man Shu struggled internally and said after much deliberation, still disbelieving that a person can turn into a cat?
Is it watching too much Changchong?
“…” Ruan Jiaojiao.
“…” Everyone.
“Dad, Jiaojiao’s soul was temporarily guided into the cat’s body by a high monk. She’s not a cat that has become sentient. How could she speak?” Shu Wen was extremely at a loss.
She took Ruan Jiaojiao from Xiu Xi’s arms, rubbed her little head, comforting, “Jiaojiao, it’s okay, grandpa doesn’t recognize you, but you still have aunt and uncle. Your uncle went to the Gu Family, he’ll be back later.”
“Meow-wow.” Okay!
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, with her own little temper, indicating that she wasn’t going to bother with the old man recognizing her.
Hmph, he actually called her a chubby bundle!
Where is she fat? Grandma said since she’s still a kitten, she should drink more milk to grow up! That’s how her body will be healthy! She’s definitely not fat! Just a bundle!
“Was she… just nodding?” Old Man Shu had been staring at Ruan Jiaojiao, and happened to catch her nodding, and asked in surprise.
Shu Wen was even more speechless, almost wanting to roll her eyes: “Dad, Jiaojiao’s soul is in the cat’s body, her intelligence didn’t decline. She understands everything, she just can’t speak.”
It was also a subtle reminder to Old Man Shu about what should be said and what shouldn’t be said, lest later Ruan Jiaojiao despises or refuses to acknowledge him and blames them for it.
