Talking about this, Meng Yingnian told Yu Zhi a story about his and his brother's childhood.

That was when Meng Yingnian was in elementary school.

One day, Meng Yingnian met an injured stray cat in the back garden.

The cat's hind legs were bitten and bleeding. It lay in the grass, gasping for breath and looking like it was about to die.

Meng Yingnian picked up the cat despite the servants' obstruction and asked the driver to drive to the nearest pet hospital.

The cat survived, but was seriously injured and stayed in the hospital for more than half a month.

Meng Yingnian went to the hospital to see the cat every day after school, but the cat was wild and difficult to tame, and was particularly unfriendly to humans. It not only scowled at people, but also scratched and bit them, injuring several doctors and nurses.

When giving it injections or examinations, protective measures must be taken and someone must hold it down, otherwise it will run around and be difficult to catch, and its wounds will also be torn.

The doctor said that a cat with such a fierce temper was most likely abandoned and suffered a lot while wandering around, so it would not be easy to tame it.

These words instead aroused Meng Yingnian's desire to conquer.

Meng Yingnian unilaterally competed with the wild cat.

He wanted to tame the cat.

After the cat was discharged from the hospital, Meng Yingnian took it home and kept it in his room.

Meng Shi was afraid that the cat would hurt Meng Yingnian, so he asked the servant to put an exquisite and spacious cage in Meng Yingnian's room, and the cat lived in the cage.

After two days, the cat stopped eating and drinking.

Meng Yingnian thought the cat was sick again, so he asked a doctor to come and see it.

After an examination, the doctor said that it was in good health and might just not want to live in a cage, so it went on a hunger strike and was in a bad mood.

Meng Yingnian asked Meng Shi to remove the cage.

As a result, the cat ran away in less than half a day.

Hundreds of servants searched the Meng residence, which covered tens of thousands of square meters, for a whole day before they finally caught the cat.

Meng Yingnian was so angry that he put the cat back in the cage and never indulged it again.

Since the cat refused to drink water, Meng Yingnian asked the servants to pry open its mouth and force-feed it with a syringe, making sure it drank the full dose every day.

As for food, it is not like water. If you force it to eat it, it will spit it out. So don't eat it and use nutritional supplements instead.

As a result, the cat hated Meng Yingnian even more, so much so that it would snort at him whenever Meng Yingnian passed by the cage.

Meng Yingnian tasted the bitterness of failure for the first time.

The man and the cat continued to fight like this for several days until Meng Yingtian returned home after completing his study abroad program.

When Meng Yingtian heard Meng Shi talk about his brother's recent battle of wits and courage with the cat, he laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back and exclaimed that it was very interesting.

When Meng Yingnian returned home from school that day, not only was the cat missing, but even the cage was gone.

When asked if it was Meng Yingtian who let him go, Meng Yingnian angrily went to find the culprit to argue.

After listening to Meng Yingnian, Meng Yingtian asked slowly, "You said you wanted to tame it, but what will you do after you tame it?"

Meng Yingnian was stunned by Meng Yingtian's question. After thinking for a long time, he said arrogantly, "No, I just want to tame it."

I didn't feel stubborn at the time.

Meng Yingtian touched Meng Yingnian's head and said softly, "Brother installed a locator on its collar. You can find it anytime you want to see it. You don't have to lock it up."

Meng Yingnian dodged Meng Yingtian's hand and became angry again: "It was originally a wild cat. It was well fed and well provided for, but it didn't appreciate it. It can leave if it wants to. Who cares?"

Meng Yingtian smiled and agreed with him, "Okay, then I don't mind."

In fact, he privately instructed Meng Shi to find a servant to take care of the cat.

Later one night, there was lightning, thunder and heavy rain.

Meng Yingtian, who was still studying, heard a commotion outside the yard. Upon closer listening, he found that it was Meng Shi and the servants calling the Second Young Master.

Meng Yingtian went out to check. Several adults were holding umbrellas and circling around Meng Yingnian on the bluestone road, worried that he would get wet.

Meng Yingnian felt that the servants were getting in the way and kept chasing them away.

"Second Young Master, my dear little ancestor, please go back to your room first. We will help you find it."

"Yes, Second Young Master, if you get sick, how are we going to explain this to the head of the family and the mistress?"

"Second Young Master..."

Meng Yingnian irritably shouted the servants away. Although he was small, he was quite imposing. "Get out of the way! Don't get in my way!"

"What are you looking for?" Meng Yingtian knew everything but pretended not to know and walked up to ask.

When Meng Yingnian saw Meng Yingtian coming, he remembered the harsh words he had said to his brother and said unnaturally, "...Nothing."

Meng Yingtian took Meng Yingnian's hand and said, "Then go back with your brother. It's raining so hard, why are you still hanging around outside?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another loud thunder.

Meng Yingnian held Meng Yingtian's hand, unable to pretend any longer, and asked anxiously, "Brother, can you still find where the cat is? Take me to find it."

Meng Yingtian took Meng Yingnian to the area where the servants lived.

The cat was combing its hair in its nest under the eaves, sheltered from the wind and rain, and looked very comfortable.

Meng Yingnian finally felt relieved.

Meng Yingtian put a cat toy in Meng Yingnian's hand and encouraged him: "It likes to play with this these days, go and play with it?"

Meng Yingnian looked at the cat without moving: "It hates me."

"Don't you just want to tame it?"

"correct."

"If that's the case, you won't care whether it dislikes you or not."

Meng Yingnian insisted: "No, I just want to tame it."

"Then why are you still worrying about it? Going to look for it in the rain."

Meng Yingnian had a confused look on his face.

Yeah, why?

Meng Yingtian squatted down to look Meng Yingnian in the eye, and gently explained to his younger brother: "Yingnian, you don't want to tame it, you want it to be close to you. You like this kitten, right?"

Meng Yingnian lowered his eyes under his gaze, his voice muffled, but he didn't deny it: "...but it doesn't like me."

“You didn’t make it feel liked.”

"It's used to being free, but you lock it up in a cage. It's in a bad mood in the cage and doesn't want to eat, but you force food into it. If you were it, would you think this person likes you?"

Meng Yingnian frowned: "But if I don't lock it up, it will run away."

"Then you can go find it, get to know it, and play with it in the place it likes."

Meng Yingtian whispered to him, "Yingnian, love is about giving, not taking."

Love is giving, not taking.

These words echoed repeatedly in Yu Zhi's mind.

Isn't this what Meng Yingnian has always done to him?

After meeting Meng Yingnian's grandparents a few days ago, Yu Zhi resolved a doubt in his mind.

Yu Zhi felt that Meng Yingnian's temperament was very different from his parents, just like him and Yu Chengkun.

But Meng Yingnian's situation was different from his.

Meng Yingnian is a child who grew up in a happy family.

Even though Meng Hengze and Zheng Yuanhui were prejudiced against him, they had nothing to say about Meng Yingnian.

On the other hand, Yu Chengkun...it's better not to mention him.

Yu Zhi felt very strange that a child who grew up in a happy family had a personality completely different from that of his parents.

It was not until he met Meng Yingnian's grandparents a few days ago that Yu Zhi realized that Meng Yingnian's temperament was inherited from the old couple.

Meng Yingnian grew up with his grandparents, so it is normal that his personality is different from his parents.

But after listening to Meng Yingnian talking about his brother, Yu Zhi changed his mind again.

The reason why Meng Yingnian became Meng Yingnian was not only due to the influence of his grandparents, but also his brother.

Yu Zhi said to Meng Yingnian sincerely, "You should remember everything your brother said to you."

"Meng Yingnian, you are as good as your brother."

Meng Yingnian laughed: "I'm not as good as my brother."

Yu Zhi disagreed and was about to retort, but Meng Yingnian spoke first: "I still have something I want to claim."

Yu Zhi didn't understand: "What?"

Meng Yingnian whispered to Yu Zhi in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Tonight..."

"I want to do with my wife what I did during my susceptible period."
