Chapter 263: New Family Member, Goofy?

Seeing the affection practically overflowing from her eyes, Gu Yifan said, “Su Hanhan, let’s get a cat!”

“Huh?”

Su Qinghe froze for a moment. She hadn’t quite heard what Gu Yifan said and asked, a little embarrassed, “You… what did you just say?”

Gu Yifan knew her attention was completely captivated by the little animal in front of her, so he wasn’t angry.

“I said, since you like cats so much, let’s buy one and take it home!”

Gu Yifan said, his face full of adoration.

“Well…”

Su Qinghe hesitated. She hadn’t expected Gu Yifan to suddenly say that.

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to take good care of it.”

After a moment of thought, she said softly.

“Uh…”

“I’m sure it’ll be fine!”

“Cats are pretty affectionate. We have plenty of free time right now, and it’s not as much trouble as living in a dorm. We have lots of room, so I think we can handle it!”

Gu Yifan said after a moment of thought.

He had actually raised small animals when he was a kid, but he later got too busy to take care of them and had to give them away.

Hearing this, Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up. She asked in a small voice, “Really? We can?”

“Mhm… We can!”

Gu Yifan pinched Su Qinghe’s little nose and said with a smile.

Hearing Gu Yifan’s affirmative answer, a smile as brilliant as the spring sunshine bloomed on Su Qinghe’s face!

She looked so adorable it was unreal!

Gu Yifan was completely captivated…

Fortunately, no one else noticed this scene, or their hearts would have melted too!

At that moment, the little snow-white kitten inside the glass case was also curiously sizing up Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe.

Its little paws were pink and fluffy, and it gently tapped against the glass. It looked incredibly goofy and cute!

“It’s so cute!”

As Su Qinghe watched the little kitten, her maternal instincts instantly kicked in!

“Silly Hanhan, you’ve decided on this one, haven’t you?”

Gu Yifan asked with a smile, “Do you want to see any others?”

“One is enough. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle more than one.”

Su Qinghe thought for a moment, then said seriously.

“Okay!”

Gu Yifan nodded.

Then, he called over a saleswoman from the pet shop.

“Hello, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?”

The saleswoman quickly walked over and asked.

“Hello, is this British Shorthair kitten for sale?”

Gu Yifan asked the saleswoman.

“This one?”

“This one is currently for sale. Are you two interested?”

The saleswoman’s eyes lit up.

“Yes.”

“How much is it?”

“Has it had all its vaccinations and deworming treatments?”

Gu Yifan asked with a nod.

“The current price for this one is 1,300 yuan.”

“As for the deworming and vaccinations, you can rest assured. We deworm them regularly. As for vaccines, it’s only had one so far.”

“However, this kitten is only a little over a month old, so it’s still very young and needs careful attention. Are you sure you want it?”

The saleswoman reminded them, “After all, it’s a little life. We have to treat it with the utmost seriousness and care.”

“Mhm… We understand that!”

“My girlfriend really likes this kitten, so we’ll take this one!”

“Please also get us all the necessary supplies for raising a cat. I’ll pay for everything at once!”

Gu Yifan said with a nod.

WHOOSH~

The moment he finished speaking, Su Qinghe’s little face instantly flushed bright red.

She looked incredibly shy!

‘It’s because Gu Yifan called me his girlfriend in front of a stranger.’

‘It makes me feel so happy and shy at the same time!’

‘But my heart feels so sweet right now!’

“Mhm… Okay!”

“Sir, I can tell that you and your girlfriend are both very caring people!”

“This little one is lucky to have owners like you!”

The saleswoman said with a smile.

‘As expected of someone who sells for a living… ugh, I mean, who works in sales. She’s a smooth talker!’

Gu Yifan thought to himself.

“Oh, right!”

Gu Yifan suddenly remembered something and asked, “Hello, is this kitten male or female? When it gets older, will it need to be spayed or something?”

“Sir, this kitten is a female!”

“She’ll start going into heat at around one year old. At that time, if you don’t want her to have kittens, you can bring her back here or to another veterinary hospital to have her spayed.”

“A normal, healthy cat’s lifespan is about 10 to 12 years!”

“Oh… right, one cat year is equivalent to fifteen human years!”

“And after a kitten is spayed, it can reduce the risk of reproductive system diseases, which can help them live longer. But of course, it’s ultimately up to the owner’s preference!”

The saleswoman slowly explained to Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe.

“Huh??”

Su Qinghe was stunned.

‘Spaying…’

‘It sounds so cruel!’

Seeing her expression, Gu Yifan could guess what she was thinking.

“We don’t have to worry about spaying for a long time!”

“She’s still little now. We can see how things go and decide later!”

“When the time comes, if you don’t want to do it, then we won’t spay her. It’s fine!”

Gu Yifan said, gently ruffling Su Qinghe’s hair.

“Oh, oh…”

“Okay.”

Su Qinghe nodded, her little face scrunched up.

“Ugh…”

Meanwhile, the saleswoman standing to the side watched their intimate exchange, her expression as sour as if she’d swallowed a fly and was constipated at the same time.

There was no other reason!

She’d been hit with a sudden, massive dose of PDA!

At this point, she didn’t want to spend a second longer with the couple.

“Um… sir, this kitten, are you sure you want her?”

“If you do, I’ll go get everything ready for you!”

The saleswoman hurriedly spoke up, interrupting the couple before they could continue their PDA.

“Yes… we’ll take the cat!”

“Please go ahead and get things ready for us!”

Gu Yifan said with a nod.

“Alright!”

“Then please wait just a moment!”

The saleswoman said with a nod.

With that, she turned to go get the necessary equipment.

While they waited, Su Qinghe kept playing with the little kitten, looking absolutely overjoyed.

“Silly Hanhan, this little kitten will be ours in just a moment!”

“You should give her a name!”

“After all, she’s going to be the newest member of our family!”

Gu Yifan said with a smile after a moment’s thought.

“Mhm?”

Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up when she heard Gu Yifan’s words!

‘I get to name her!’

“Mhm…”

Su Qinghe nodded excitedly.

Then she tilted her head and began to think.

‘Just what kind of name should I give this little kitten?’

‘Xiaobai?’

‘Little Xiaobai??’

‘Little Mimi???’

…

「After a while.」

Su Qinghe looked at Gu Yifan, her expression conflicted. She said in a small voice, “I… I don’t know what kind of name to pick.”

“Uh…”

Gu Yifan was taken aback for a moment.

“Hmm… How about I think of one?”

He said, looking at Su Qinghe.

“Mhm…”

Su Qinghe nodded.

After thinking seriously for a moment, Gu Yifan looked at Su Qinghe’s expectant face and said with a slight smile:

“Hmm…”

“From now on, let’s call her Little Han…”
