Chapter 67 - I
Xie Qi was so happy because of Dan Huang.
Dan Huang was a male cat. He said to Qin Yizhi, “When you neutered him later, you can call him Mayonnaise.”
“…” Qin Yizhi asked, “What?”
After a moment of silent, Xie Qi explained, “It’s just sterilization. To sterilize a cat, Dan Huang’s eggs is peeled off, leaving only two egg skins…”
Qin Yizhi understood that it meant castration and said with a cold face, “Why do you need sterilization? The family has the conditions and can afford to have as many children as possible.”
Xie Qi said, “But…”
Before he finished speaking, Qin Yizhi interjected, “No sterilization. His body is his own, and no one can make decisions for him except himself.”
Xie Qi was silent.
He said with a serious face, “Actually, you don’t need to think too much. Cats will live longer if they are sterilized. For example, eunuchs in ancient times generally lived longer than the emperor. Some eunuchs lived long enough to serve three emperors.”
Qin Yizhi’s tone was undeniable and domineering. He said, “There is no need to sterilize the cat. He will marry a wife in the future.”
Xie Qi found it a bit strange that he could say such a thing and asked in confusion, “You don’t even think about getting married yourself. Why do you think about finding a wife for him?”
Qin Yizhi was silent.
He took a step back and changed his words, “He doesn’t have to marry a wife, but you can’t sterilize him. No cats in the Qin family are meant to be eunuchs.”
Xie Qi said, “But you gave me this cat. His surname is Xie now, and his name is Xie Dan Huang.”
Qin Yizhi was silent.
He stared at Xie Qi with slightly squinted eyes. His face was cold, so Xie Qi subconsciously avoided his gaze, but he refused to give in on this matter and said seriously, “This is good for his health. He will live for a few more years.”
Qin Yizhi said lightly, “He will lose his dignity as a male. Do you think he will be happy in this life?”
Xie Qi was moved by his emotions, and he said to Qin Yizhi rationally, “…If he wanders outside, he will indeed be at a disadvantage without the eggs, but he is raised by our family.”
Feeling that the quarrel would be endless, Xie Qi took a step back and said to Qin Yizhi, “Is this okay? Let him marry a wife and have a litter first, and then take him to be sterilized, so that he will have no regrets.”
Qin Yizhi sneered and finally whispered, “You want him to marry a wife, have children, and finally become a eunuch.”
“…” Xie Qi hesitated for a moment and said, “Then his wife will be neutered as well. He will be well-fed and well cared for, and no one will owe anything.”
Qin Yizhi was silent.
He pinched the bridge of his nose one last time, took another step back, and whispered, “It’s up to you. If you want to be sterilized, then sterilize him.”
Xie Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said righteously, “You are also the father of the child after all. Just agree to it.”
Qin Yizhi had nothing to say.
After Xie Qi finished discussing with Qin Yizhi, he raised the cat, spread Dan Huang’s legs, and said to Qin Yizhi, “Father, please take a closer look at the child. Ah Huang is now three months old and can be sterilized in five months.”
This was the first time he noticed the hardware of Dan Huang. When he saw it, he couldn’t help but say in surprise, “…It is indeed a pair of giant egg. It’s really a pity. I’ll pack it up and put it in a bottle for storage later. This is all to live longer in the future.”
Qin Yizhi was silent.
Although Dan Huang was smart, his ancestors had no experience of sterilization after all, and he had no idea what Xie Qi meant. He did not struggle when being held by Xie Qi. He was indeed a well-educated kitten.
Qin Yizhi turned around and walked away.
Xie Qi could feel that he was not satisfied with the result, but as far as he knew, both male and female cats would indeed live longer if they were neutered.
No matter what, Dan Huang was the cat given to him by Qin Yizhi, and Xie Qi felt he could make his own decision.
However, he did need to thank Qin Yizhi.
But how to thank him… Xie Qi was in trouble again. After all, Qin Yizhi lacked nothing.
Returning gifts was really a problem. He asked his friends in the group for their opinions, [My husband gave me a cat. What do you think I should give as a return gift?]
Fan Qingyue replied, [He is quite good. I remember that you have always liked cats.]
Xie Qi said, [Yes.]
Xie Qi had picked up two calico cats before. They were very beautiful and smart, but he couldn’t keep them himself, so he had to keep them under the bridge. He had come by every day to feed them and eventually found them for adoption. Occasionally, he saw photos of them being adopted by his classmates, and he had always been envious.
Now it was considered to be what he had wanted.
Li Siwen said, [I have a good idea, but I don’t think you will accept it.]
Xie Qi asked, [Say.]
Li Siwen suggested, [Give your husband a few kisses and I think he will be so happy.]
Xie Qi replied, [It is indeed a bad idea.]
Li Siwen responded, [Spread her hands.jpg, look, I just told you.]
Xie Qi thought about it and realized that Qin Yizhi probably wanted to reciprocate what he had said just now. He really wanted to express something.
Xie Qi said, [I have an idea.]
Li Siwen asked, [What’s your idea?]
Xie Qi didn’t tell her; he just placed the order online.
