The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

"Alright, let’s do it." Grandpa Shu waved his hand carelessly, brimming with confidence. He sipped his tea leisurely, thinking two kids were no challenge at all.

Jiaojiao’s face lit up like a blooming flower. As soon as Xiu Xi sat down, she pulled him to sit beside her.

Of course, what she didn’t say was that she and Xiu Xi had learned Go together. They spent the same amount of time studying, but the results were worlds apart—she only grasped the basics, whereas Xiu Xi became so skilled that even Shu Jiao admitted defeat.

Xiu Xi swiftly reached out with one hand and firmly caught the cup.

"Be careful," Xiu Xi said.

"..." Grandpa Shu, silently fuming, felt a pang in his chest.
