Chapter 606: Chapter 606 Little Tiger Qi Miao Chapter 606: Chapter 606 Little Tiger Qi Miao Xuexue set her things down in the main hall and walked out with a bag of meat in her hand, “Mom, I bought a roast chicken today, so we can just stir fry some green vegetables for dinner.”
Madam Xie responded, then said, “Xuexue, you’ve been busy all day at the flower shop, you must be tired. Go back to your room and rest, I can’t help you with the business, but I can cook. Wait a little while for the rice to be ready, I’ll call you to eat. Be good and rest for a while.”
Madam Xie said this while pushing Xuexue out of the kitchen.
Xuexue was reluctant, “Alright, I’ll go out and see Chuner.”
“Go! Go! Have a good time playing together,” Madam Xie said with a smile as she waved her hand at her and tied her apron around her waist to start making dinner.
Xuexue walked out of the courtyard and stood at the gate looking out…
Chuner and Xiao Gougou were playing with Little Tiger under the big tree not far away.
Chuner was covered in sweat from running, her face grubby and her whole body coated in dust and mud, her hair also full of leaves and dry grass, but she was having the time of her life.
“Sister.” Seeing Xuexue approaching, Chuner ran excitedly to her, lifted her dirty face, and said with a smile, “Kitty is so smart, Xiao Gougou and I taught her to play hide and seek, and in no time, she learned how to find us accurately.”
“Really?” Xuexue was also surprised, she hadn’t expected that a tiger they casually picked up on their way back from the mountain would be so clever and agile.
At that moment, Little Tiger also ran over, wagging its tail furiously, cuddling around their feet as if they were its very own parents.
“Of course it’s true! Kitty, tell sister, aren’t you very smart?” Chuner crouched down and asked Little Tiger on the ground.
“Meow meow…!” Little Tiger looked up and meowed vigorously at Xuexue, its demeanor as if to say, “Yes, I am that smart, aren’t I amazing.”
Had Xuexue not already known it was a Little Tiger, she would have truly thought it was a Kitty.
Its mewing was uniquely charming and sounded even more like a cat than a real cat.
“Chuner, it’s getting late, I should go home, or my mom will worry about me,” Xiao Gougou called out from under the distant tree.
“Okay! Xiao Gougou, you have to come and play with Kitty again tomorrow,” Chuner replied loudly.
After replying, Xiao Gougou hopped and skipped his way home.
Xuexue took Chuner’s little hand and turned to walk back home, “Let’s go back home too.”
“Kitty, it’s time to go home!” Chuner turned her head and called to Little Tiger.
“Meow meow…!” Little Tiger cheerfully followed behind them.
“How about we give Kitty a name? It’s not great to always call her Kitty. She’s so smart; she deserves a name.”
Hearing this, Chuner’s eyes lit up, “Right! How did I not think of that? Sister, think of a name with some presence.”
Little Tiger had surprised Xuexue with its cleverness, and she smiled, saying, “Let’s call it Qi Miao.”
“Qi Miao?” Chuner tilted her head and thought for a moment, “Why do I feel name is a bit odd?”
“Don’t you think Kitty is quite miraculous? She’s so smart, Qi Miao is a good name for her.”
“Hmm, it seems so.” Chuner nodded; there were so many cats in their village, but none as smart as this one, it truly was miraculous.
“Kitty, Kitty, come here quickly, sister is giving you a name!” Chuner stopped, turned around, and called to Little Tiger.
