“Right? Isn’t it more realistic than the Siamese cat that the wild man gave you? Let’s use this in memory of it.”
“?” “Wild what?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I was referring to Yang Binye,” Wen Yanqing replied.
Previously, Yang Binye had given Lin Gantang a felt kitten in memory of the Siamese cat.
“I know you accepted his cat because of his feelings for it, right?”
“Yeah, he’s quite thoughtful. He must have given me the kitten because he’s grateful to the bookstore for helping him find Mayer.” Lin Gantang did not think there was anything else to it.
Wen Yanqing thought to himself, ‘Heh! If he hadn’t been blushing, I would have believed he had no other thoughts behind the matter.’
“But one is enough. Why did you get someone to make another?” Lin Gantang asked.
Wen Yanqing took the felt kitten from his pocket and handed it to her. “I’m sorry, Tangtang. I didn’t take good care of Big Mi. It broke your things.”
Lin Gantang noticed that the kitten had changed its shape, and there were still traces of Big Mi’s fur.
“A few days ago, Aunt Zhong saw Big Mi playing and thought that it was a toy we bought for it. She didn’t stop it, and I wasn’t there. Big Mi is my cat. Of course, I have to compensate for its mistakes.” He pulled Lin Gantang.
“I wanted to have one made in the same design, but I don’t have Yang Binye’s skill. Wen Yanqing looked utterly defeated as he spoke, disappointed in his lack of skill. “He’s amazing. Unlike me, I can only ask someone to help me make one. I’m not able to do such delicate needlework.”
Seeing that he was depressed, Lin Gantang threw the cat nonsense to the back of her mind. “No, no, it’s not something you have to be overly concerned about; you’re good as you are. I like it very much. Thank you.”
Big Mi strolled over and spotted the felt kitten in Lin Gantang’s hand. Big Mi made a mad dash for it.
Lin Gantang raised the felt kitten out of Big Mi’s reach, but that was not enough to dissuade it. Big Mi’s eyes tracked the movement of the felt kitten as Lin Gantang held it high in the air.
“Big Mi seems to like it.” Lin Gantang was certain that Big Mi had played with her previous cat doll and damaged it.
She had not noticed that she had casually placed the kitten Yang Binye had given her on the table. Perhaps only Big Mi had remembered.
Lin Gantang regretfully pinched the dilapidated felt kitten. Nothing was to be done since she was unlikely to have the means to restore it to its previous condition. “I guess it can’t be helped. The replacement you commissioned is very well made; it looks even lifelike than the one Binye gifted me.”
“I’m glad you’re not angry…” Wen Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief.
“Why would I be angry with you? You didn’t damage it. This little guy, on the other hand…” Lin Gantang picked up the tabby cat and gave it a stern look. “I think it’s time you received a good pep-talk.”
Wen Yanqing could hear Lin Gantang reprimanding Big Mi from outside. She was lecturing the poor cat with heartfelt disappointment.
Gingerly, he opened the door and caught sight of Big Mi. It had been scolded till it appeared dazed and listless. When Big Mi saw him, it immediately scampered to him with its tail tucked between its legs.
Wen Yanqing leaned against the door and heard Lin Gantang say, “What are you two looking at? Are cats all so nosy? There are plenty of better things to be watching. Come on. Let’s not learn from Big Mi. Since the two of you have been good, I’ll give you your dried fish!”
Wen Yanqing heard Lin Gantang’s footsteps as she left. Big Mi, who was in his arms, felt aggrieved.
Wen Yanqing patted its little head comfortingly. “Good child. You don’t have to suffer. Although you shouldn’t have played with it, I’m happy you did.”
He smiled and taught his cat. “I want you to do the same for anything other men give your mother. If you do as I say, I’ll give you salmon, silver cod, and freeze-dried chicken breast!”
“Meow!”
Lin Gantang probably did not expect to be schemed against after she had just finished scolding Big Mi. She had just executed her punishment for Big Mi only to have a certain someone undo her work, generously rewarding its mischief and leading its innocent mind astray..
