From Nanhai City to Yunxi City, it takes about seven or eight days to go quickly. There is about twenty days inside and outside, which is enough for a round trip.

The two bandit soldiers Ruan Ningxiang sent back to Yundu Mountain have been away for a month, but they have not returned yet, and there is not even any news.

Ruan Ningxiang vaguely felt something was wrong.

The news outside is that she has returned to Yundu Mountain, and it is temporarily inconvenient for her to appear in the military camp as the head of Zhao'an County.

She asked Su He to find A Yue quietly.

In the dog days of summer, it was hot and sweltering outside. A Yue, who was wearing black casual clothes, ran so fast that her eyes were covered with sweat, and a large piece of her clothes on her back was wet.

He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, "Miss, you are so anxious to call me over, but what's the emergency?"

"It's the dog days of summer now. If you run outside every day, be careful not to get heatstroke."

Ruan Ningxiang invited A Yue to sit down and poured him a cup of sour plum soup.

"Actually, I've been operating at night lately, so there's nothing much going on during the day." A Yue sat down and said.

"Evening? What is Ziyu busy with recently?" Ruan Ningxiang asked curiously.

"Recently, King Yu asked us to severely crack down on Ban Meng's channels.

I don’t know if someone is saying something behind my back, or if I am always disturbing the people in the middle of the night. Although the people are cooperative on the surface, they are starting to complain a lot behind the scenes, and the progress is not going very smoothly."

Ruan Ningxiang looked at her people, running around in a hurry and breaking their legs. She couldn't get a few words of thanks, and said angrily:

"Help them, they still have complaints? I think the scar has healed and the pain has forgotten! Not a single person behind the half-dream has been found out yet. If we don't investigate strictly, the ashes of death will soon resurface."

A Yue said: "Actually, most people are cooperative. Most of those who are not cooperative are guilty of thieves and secretly take intoxicants."

What you smoke is not necessarily half-dream, it may also be dream-like.

Now that there is a strict investigation, Ruan Ningxiang guesses that Chu Yu wants to find out where all his Rumeng has been circulated, right?

Chu Yu was taking care of these things, so Ruan Ningxiang didn't ask much about them.

He regained his composure and said: "The two bandit soldiers I sent before have not returned yet. I am afraid that someone has bad intentions and has done something secretly. You can quietly send two more skilled and alert people, and then

Let’s go back to Yundu Mountain and see what’s going on.”

A Yue nodded, and left Yu Mansion quietly without staying here for long.

The days went on as usual.

Ruan Ningxiang and Chu Yu are like strangers living under the same roof.

From the very beginning, she hoped that Chu Yu could talk to her.

By now, I have become accustomed to his cold expression, as if this look is his original self.

In fact, rationally speaking, since the two of them are destined to have no outcome, it would be good for him to keep a distance like this.

In the past two days, Ruan Ningxiang personally designed two sets of clothes for Xueqiu.

After Su He finished her needlework, Ruan Ningxiang took the newly made clothes and was about to try them on Xueqiu. Suddenly, she shouted excitedly: "Su He, Xueqiu has given birth to a baby."

Su He was startled, pricked his hand with a needle, and ran over wiggling his fingers.

Ruan Ningxiang squatted and stared at the weak Xueqiu, "I never found out that Xueqiu was pregnant. Do you think a cat can get pregnant so quickly? No wonder it has been running away some time ago. It turns out that she is in love.

Do you think it's finished giving birth? Why are there only two?"

Su He said: "The cat's pregnancy cycle is two months. It looks like the belly is not too big before, so it shouldn't be too much."

Two months.

Ruan Ningxiang's excitement just now was slowly replaced by a hint of disappointment.

She and Chu Yu haven't spoken to each other for two months.

Xueqiu gave birth to three babies in total.

Su He made a new pumpkin bedding and replaced it with a clean one.

Two fluffy, palm-sized little tabby cats, and one with orange patterns, which must have inherited his father’s genes.

Snowball's thin tongue licked his babies, and the kittens crawled into his arms to suck milk, making little "meow" sounds from time to time.

Ruan Ningxiang looked at this warm moment.

Even Snowball can find his own spring and form his own little home after walking on the edge of life and death.

What about her?

Where is the future?

Ruan Ningxiang clapped her head and unknowingly sat there and stared at the cat for a whole day.

Late at night, when Chu Yu came back, Ruan Ningxiang still wanted to tell him the good news.

"Tzuyu, Snowball is a mother. She gave birth to three babies."

Chu Yu was slightly startled, looking at her excited expression, he said lightly and went directly behind the screen.

He didn't even glance towards Snowball.

It was as if the person who saved Snowball on the street, the person who held Snowball in his arms lovingly, was not him.

Ruan Ningxiang felt sour in her heart.

There was a small cat, not as cheerful as the other two, and didn't eat much milk. Its soft gray downy belly bulged, and it nestled in Snowball's arms again.

After all, it was too small and too fragile. Ruan Ningxiang was a little worried and wanted to take a second look before she felt reassured.

Chu Yu stood behind the screen, and through the thin screen, he saw Ruan Ningxiang sitting cross-legged on the floor, staring at her, and reaching out from time to time to put back the kitten that crawled out.

The complex emotions in his eyes came out undisguisedly.

After a long time, he walked out, still looking cold and indifferent, and said, "Lights out."

Ruan Ningxiang blew out the candle.

As soon as the sky dawned, Ruan Ningxiang woke up to the sound of a milky cat meowing.

Go see it as soon as possible.

Some kittens have climbed outside the bedding, and another one is in the process of 'escaping'.

I can't even open my eyes, and my little paws are crawling very fast.

Ruan Ningxiang caught them back again.

Snowball kept licking the sleeping kitten in his arms, but the kitten was lazily motionless.

Ruan Ningxiang noticed something was wrong and reached out to touch the kitten.

The kitten still didn't move, and even its soft belly didn't move.

"Tzuyu."

Ruan Ningxiang panicked instantly and subconsciously called for someone.

Chu Yu slept soundly, woke up faintly, and lifted the gauze curtain.

Ruan Ningxiang squatted there, "It seems like one of the kittens died."

Chu Yu came over and stared at the kitten for a while, "It's dead."

How could he die?

She didn't take good care of her. She shouldn't have slept last night.

At that moment, any trace of luck that Ruan Ningxiang held was gone.

Chu Yu had already grabbed the kitten out of Xueqiu's arms. Xueqiu was screaming desperately and scratching fiercely with his claws.

Chu Yu's snow-white undershirt was scratched until the threads were pulled out.

The two little kittens felt uneasy, crawling and barking.

In the end, Xueqiu was brought back by Ruan Ningxiang, and the other two kittens were stuffed into his arms. They drank milk from everywhere, and Xueqiu calmed down.
