The next day, Lin Xiaowan logged into Bobo Star and changed her username to ‘I’m Little Chestnut’. Initially, she wanted to change it to ‘Little Chestnut’, but that username had been taken. After that, she also changed the profile picture. After that, she prepared to take a video of Little Chestnut. She planned to film Little Chestnut eating.
Lin Xiaowan’s original plan was to let Little Chestnut sit in front of its small bow while she introduced Little Chestnut’s food. After that, she would place the food in the bowl and let Little Chestnut eat. She planned to end the video with a shot of the empty bowl.
After Lin Xiaowan brought different kinds of cat food out, she sat cross-legged after positioning her phone. Then, she asked Aunt Wu, who was looking at something on her phone, “Will my face be captured like this?”
Aunt Wu, who was sitting on a small stool, made an ‘okay’ gesture as she replied, “No. It’ll be fine even if you move around a little…”
Lin Xiaowan asked Aunt Wu to click the button to start recording before she patted the cushion next to her and called out affectionately, “Little Chestnut, come and eat!”
Most people’s voices would change when they speak to their pets, and Lin Xiaowan was not an exception.
Little Chestnut walked over and rubbed itself against Lin Xiaowan. It meowed a few times and let Lin Xiaowan pat it before it sat down elegantly. It even licked its paws and looked at Lin Xiaowan after sitting down.
Although Lin Xiaowan’s face was hidden, this was the first time she was taking a video of herself. For this reason, she was a little stiff.
“Alright, let’s start.”
Lin Xiaowan first took out a small piece of cooked chicken breast meat and waved them at the camera before she tore it into small strips.
“We’ll start with the chicken meat first. Little Chestnut likes it a lot.”
Then, what happened subsequently was out of Lin Xiaowan’s expectations. Little Chestnut did not wait and immediately ate the chicken as soon as she placed it in its bowl.
In fact, this was only normal. After all, Lin Xiaowan did not specially train Little Chestnut. Usually, it would eat when the food dispenser dispensed food or when it was called to eat after the food was prepared. Occasionally, she would also hold the treats in her hand and feed them to Little Chestnut as she played with it. In short, there was no such thing as waiting before eating.
Lin Xiaowan was taken aback by the unexpected turn and could not decide if she should put the remaining strips of chicken meat into the bowl or not. However, after Little Chestnut emptied the bowl, it took the initiative to raise its head and eat the strips of chicken meat in her hand.
Aunt Wu laughed out loud. “We forgot that Little Chesnut is not used to waiting when it eats…”
“Well, it’s fine,” Lin Xiaowan said with a shrug. In any case, the result was the same. Whether Little Chestnut waited or not, the food would still be eaten in the end.
After Little Chestnut was done with the chicken breast, Lin Xiaowan held a few small cubes of freeze-dried egg yolk and let Little Chestnut eat them off her hand. Subsequently, she opened a can of venison and vegetables.
The entire process showed Lin Xiaowan placing food in Little Chestnut’s bowl, and Little Chestnut eating from the bowl.
After a short while, Lin Xiaowan said, “Alright. Shall we have some goat’s milk today as well?”
Lin Xiaowan rose to her feet to prepare the goat’s milk. However, Little Chestnut, who was eating, suddenly looked up and meowed loudly in protest. “Hmm, is Little Chestnut unhappy? Don’t you want to drink goat’s milk? It was just delivered this morning. It’s very fresh!”
Aunt Wu thought about it for a moment before she said, “Should we give it camel’s milk? She’s been drinking camel’s milk recently. However, yesterday, when I gave her goat’s milk in the morning, it took a long time before she finally drank it. She doesn’t seem to like it…”
The camel milk was sent by Gu Yuwu and was specially formulated for cats. Someone recommended it to her, and she sent it over as a gift to Little Chestnut.
Who knew if Little Chestnut understood their words or not? However, it meowed a few times after Aunt Wu finished speaking before it buried its face in the bowl again.
Now that Little Chestnut had grown up, it began to eat slowly. Unlike when it just arrived, it would gobble up its food quickly as though it would starve to death if it ate any slower.
“Hmm? Does she understand us?” Lin Xiaowan was surprised.
Aunt Wu also found it strange. She stood up and said, “1’11 prepare the milk.”
While Aunt Wu prepared the milk, Little Chestnut was almost finished with the food in the bowl. When it was done, it sat down and meowed at Lin Xiaowan.
After the camel’s milk was served, Little Chestnut lapped it up.
When Little Chestnut was done, Lin Xiaowan grabbed a wet wipe and said, “We’ll have to wipe your mouth after you’re done.”
Little Chestnut sat there without moving while Lin Xiaowan wiped its mouth. This was something especially magical since no one taught Little Chestnut. Previously, she would wipe its face and mouth after it finished its meal. As time went out, it would sit quietly after it was done with its meal.
It was also at this point that Lin Xiaowan ended the video. She took a look. Although it was a little slow and dragging, there was no other problem. She quickly cut out some useless scenes and sped up the video with an editing app before she posted the video. Her caption was also very simple: My Breakfast.
Lin Xiaowan had already decided that this account would be Little Chestnut’s account that followed its daily life.
The number of views increased very slowly.
Lin Xiaowan waited expectantly for a while. After quite a few minutes, there were no likes or comments. She thought that it was normal and no longer paid attention to it, tossing her phone to her side.
When Lin Xiaowan woke up from her afternoon nap, she logged into Bobo Star again. There were not many views, but there were a few comments.
[Netizen #1: Ah, it’s Little Chestnut! It’s grown so big! It’s much fluffier than before, and it looks better than before!]
Lin Xiaowan was about to reply when she recalled that the account belonged to Little Chestnut. For this reason, she replied to the comment as though she was Little Chestnut.
After she was done, she went downstairs to look for the cat. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw shards of a broken porcelain vase, and Aunt Wu was sweeping them up.
When Aunt Wu saw Lin Xiaowan’s bare feet, she quickly said, “Wait! I’ll use the vacuum cleaner after this to make sure there aren’t shards left on the floor.” “What happened?” Lin Xiaowan asked, puzzled.
Meanwhile, Little Chestnut ran over to Lin Xiaowan as soon as it saw her. It meowed over and over again, sounding a little aggrieved.
Aunt Wu sighed. “She jumped onto the display cabinet and accidentally broke the vase. She seemed to be shocked and frightened by the loud noise…”
Lin Xiaowan did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. She crouched down and comforted Little Chestnut.
This matter was quickly thrown to the back of Lin Xiaowan’s mind. She cuddled Little Chestnut on the couch as she read the comments people left under the new video. After reading a comment, she asked Little Chestnut, “Do you have anything to say about this?”
Immediately after, she asked, “Oh, is that what you want to say?”
In the beginning, Little Chestnut would meow in response as though it understood Lin Xiaowan. However, after a short while, it grew bored and ran to the side to play with the cat teaser toy that was stuck to the floor-to-ceiling window, ignoring Lin Xiaowan.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan continued to pretend to be Little Chestnut and replied to the comments tirelessly..
