Just assuming he was really starving, Song Yunzhi had another bowl of meat brought over.

Seeing the kitten meowing and eating again, seemingly still hungry, Song Yunzhi quietly had someone change the kitten's portion to two bowls of meat from now on.

"Miss, the master sent word that he will be back in a few days." Xiaoman said as she came in from outside.

Xie Xuan ate while listening intently. A few days later? Then could he stay a few more days?

He became happy and ate with great gusto.

"Alright, have someone pass a message to Father that everything is fine at home, so he can rest assured."

"Yes." Xiaoman nodded in agreement, and seeing the little orange cat engrossed in eating, she couldn't resist reaching out and tugging at it.

Xie Xuan slammed his head into the bowl, then looked up, somewhat bewildered, "Huh?"

"So fierce." Xiaoman sheepishly withdrew her hand, no longer daring to touch it.

Song Yunzhi put down the account book in her hand and beckoned to Xie Xuan, "Erhuang, come here."

"Meow~" The kitten walked over obediently, its limbs limply resting in her arms, its two front paws stomping uncontrollably.

Song Yunzhi pinched his soft hand and whispered, "You can't be mean to Xiaoman, you know? Otherwise, I won't want you anymore."

"Huh?" Xie Xuan opened his eyes wide and immediately buried his head in her arms.

He wasn't being aggressive; he just gave a normal shout.

However, that sound was a bit too fierce for a kitten. He shouldn't do that again, or he'll easily get caught.

Seeing him act coquettishly, Song Yunzhi picked him up and placed her cool and indifferent gaze on him.

"Meow?" Xie Xuan awkwardly tucked his tail between his legs to cover his private parts.

"Erhuang, you're dirty. I'm going to give you a bath," Song Yunzhi said earnestly.

The sun is very strong today. If I wipe it off and then let it dry in the sun, it should dry easily.

Upon hearing her say that she was dirty, Xie Xuan was very indignant. He licked all the fur off his body every day, so how could he be dirty?

The kitten struggled in her arms, and Song Yunzhi reached out and slapped its bottom.

Xie Xuan quieted down, looking aggrieved.

He was a very clean little tiger.

"Miss, let me do it," Xiaoman said worriedly from the side.

Even if the kitten is very obedient, it might hurt Miss if it gets wet and starts to make a fuss.

Xie Xuan looked up and saw Xiao Man walking towards them. He immediately jumped up and down and snuggled into Song Yunzhi's arms.

“I’ll wash him,” Song Yunzhi said calmly.

She gently pulled the little guy off the bed and slowly placed him in warm water, avoiding the injury on his head. She then used a wooden ladle to scoop warm water and pour it over him.

The woman's slender fingers cradled his small body; once his downy fur was wet, the little guy's bones became particularly prominent.

Xiaoman squatted down beside him, looking at the skinny Erhuang, and muttered softly, "Erhuang is so pitiful, he's just skin and bones."

"Yes, let him eat more in the future." A tender look flashed in Song Yunzhi's eyes as she gently wiped his head with her fingers dampened with water.

Xie Xuan tried to press himself against the edge of the wooden basin, placing his two front paws on it, stretching his body, and looking up at her.

Its eyes are big and round, with the innocence and naivety of a cub.

Song Yunzhi pulled him out of the water and wrapped him in brocade cloth. "Erhuang is so cute."

"Awoo~" Xie Xuan couldn't help but let out a happy shout, and his head was gently patted.

He looked up blankly, meeting the woman's pretty and beautiful face. "Is that how kittens meow?"

Xie Xuan: "...Meow!"

Song Yunzhi was satisfied. "Good girl."

After his body was dried, Song Yunzhi asked Xiaoman to carry him to sunbathe.

Xie Xuan struggled in Xiao Man's arms for a moment, then rushed back into Song Yunzhi's arms.

"Miss, Erhuang seems to only want you to hold him," Xiaoman said, somewhat annoyed.

Song Yunzhi pinched the little guy's ear, looked down at him for a while, and then had someone move the soft chair outside.

"I'll sun it myself."

"Meow~"

“You’re wet, I don’t like it.”

Xie Xuan let out a soft howl in his heart, shook the fur on his body, lay down on the soft chair in the sun, and obediently watched the woman in front of him drinking tea.

Feeling fragrant from the sun, Xie Xuan stood up and jumped back into Song Yunzhi's arms with a sense of entitlement.

The down on his body had dried, and Song Yunzhi touched it with such affection that she didn't lift him away.

Xie Xuan was being stroked so hard that he couldn't help but snuggle into her arms, his paws tugging at her clothes.

"Xiaoman, go get some goat milk," Song Yunzhi whispered.

This little guy keeps making strange noises; he must not be full yet.

Xie Xuan's eyes lit up, and his ears twitched. He could eat again!

Although we just finished eating, it's okay to eat a little more.

As soon as Xiaoman put down the bowl of goat milk, Xie Xuan jumped over impatiently.

"Miss, it seems Erhuang is quite the glutton," Xiaoman teased from the side, and Song Yunzhi nodded.

Xie Xuan let it go in one ear and out the other, completely ignoring what he said.

He's at most a gluttonous tiger, not a cat at all.

It tastes so good! I wish I could take some back for my younger siblings.

At noon, while Song Yunzhi was taking a nap, Xie Xuan carried even more meat up the mountain than he had the night before.

Song Yunzhi was afraid he would choke, so she always had the meat cut into small pieces.

He had it all stuffed in his mouth, and it took a lot of effort for him to hold back from swallowing it.

It's so delicious it'll kill a tiger!

When they got up the mountain, they saw their younger siblings catching sparrows. The two tigers each guarded one side, but in the end, the birds still got away.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. What would happen to those two clumsy tigers without him?

"Roar!" He pushed off the earthen slope with his hind legs and used his two front paws to climb up the slope.

Upon hearing the sound, the two tiger cubs immediately ran over to greet him, nuzzling against his head affectionately, showing great dependence.

"Big brother!"

Xie Xuan calmly nodded, spitting out the food in his mouth. "Eat."

"Big brother, I caught a little bird today, I'm not hungry." The second brother swallowed his saliva shamelessly as he looked at the food.

The younger sister also shook her head, "Big brother, you eat by yourself. Second brother and I are both full."

Xie Xuan looked at them, who were starving but still obedient, and slapped each of them with his paw. "Just eat when I tell you to. Why are you babbling on and on?"

"Ouch..."

The two little ones immediately fell silent, lying on the ground eating meat. As they shook their heads, their tails swayed from side to side.

Xie Xuan looked at them with a face full of pride, feeling that he was really amazing.

There wasn't much meat, but at least it filled my stomach.

After finishing their meal, the second and youngest siblings obediently came over to rub against him, and he willingly lay down and licked their heads.

"Big brother, what do you smell like? It smells so good." The second brother, with his keen sense of smell, shoved his mouth at him.

The younger sister sniffed along, saying, "Big brother, you don't smell like a tiger anymore."

Xie Xuan immediately stood up, his face serious, and explained, "I'm older than you, that's why I smell so good. It's the smell of a tiger!"
