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

Xiu Xi shifted his gaze back and forth between Jiaojiao and the glittering fireworks filling the night sky. His eyes softened, with a fleeting glimmer passing through them, before finally settling into an unusually resolute expression.

Though both Jiaojiao and Grandpa Shu were reluctant to part, time moved quickly. Before they realized it, the day of farewell had arrived.

Starting from the seventeenth, Grandpa Shu’s face showed no trace of a smile.

Jiaojiao nestled into his embrace, whining playfully, "Grandpa, when Jiaojiao goes back and buys a big house, Daddy will come to get you, and you can live with us, okay?"

The place might be smaller, the conditions less than ideal, but at least they could all live together as a family.

Grandpa Shu was somewhat tempted, but as someone born and bred in Beidu, he held dearly to cultural traditions that emphasized being rooted in one’s homeland. Besides, Grandma Shu’s grave was in Beidu. No matter how lonely he felt, he didn’t want to leave Grandma Shu alone here. In the end, he declined the offer from the Ruan Family.

Jiaojiao could only hold him tightly, promising to visit him every summer.

That evening, Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi sat by the window, silently gazing outside. Jiaojiao propped her chin on her small hand, her expression heavy with unresolved thoughts.

She let out a soft sigh, turned to Xiu Xi, and asked, "Brother Xi, what do you think will happen to Xin Miao in the end?"

"Only one can survive." In truth, the other invading soul was already weak and would eventually be pushed out completely by Xin Miao.

"Brother Xi, we..." Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, visibly conflicted. She wanted desperately to help Feng Nianian and Xin Miao, but... she felt powerless to do so.
