Chapter 135 - 135: His Status Has Dropped?!
Lin Xiaowan’s post did not have a high number of views. However, it was later reposted by the Animal Rescue Association. Who knew if it triggered some magical mechanism, but the number of views suddenly increased.
[Netizen #1: Ah, Little Chestnut!]
[Netizen #2: You seem to be adapting to your new home well. You’re so lively!]
[Netizen#3: Help! Little Chestnut sounds so cute when it meows! I wish I can have ten kittens!]
[Netizen #4: This ball of fur is so cute!]
[Netizen #5:1 can tell that Little Chestnut’s mom really doesn’t know how to take videos! The camera is shaking so much!]
[Netizen #6: What kind of cat is this? Its fur color is so unique!]
[Netizen #7: Little Chestnut’s home is so big. There’s so much space for it to play! Life must be good!]
[Netizen #8: It’s just an ordinary stray kitten. It probably takes after its father. Who would’ve thought that its mother is pure white? Little Chestnut doesn’t resemble its mother at all!]
[Netizen #9: Even the color of Little Chestnut’s eyes is different. The mother cat has big green eyes, but Little Chestnut’s eyes are dark blue, 1 think?]
When Lin Xiaowan saw the comments, she picked up Little Chestnut and studied it for a long time. Little Chestnut’s eyes were big as well. However, rather than calling them dark blue, they were more black with flecks of blue.
After posting that video, Lin Xiaowan felt like her mission was over. She did not care about anything else after that and began her blissful daily life of painting and playing with Little Chestnut.
Huo Zheng soon realized that his status in Lin Xiaowan’s heart seemed to have dropped. Her attention was completely taken away by Little Chestnut. This was especially true when Little Chestnut grew older, and its fur began to grow. Lin Xiaowan would hold the kitten and comb its fur very often. A loving smile could be seen on her face as she made plans for what to feed it every day.
In the past, when Huo Zheng returned from work, Lin Xiaowan would run over and hug him. However, now, when he entered the house, only the nanny would greet him and help bring him his slippers. As for Lin Xiaowan, if he did not look for her, she would not take the initiative to come to him. Even when they were eating, she would play with Little Chestnut. It was as though he had become invisible.
One day, after Huo Zheng got off work, Aunt Wu opened the door for him and handed him a cup of honey pomelo tea.
“It’s getting colder and colder. Autumn and winter are the times when it’s easiest to catch a cold…”
Huo Zheng drank two sips before he asked, “Is Qingqing playing with the cat?”
Aunt Wu smiled. “She’s painting. She said she wants to paint the cat.”
Huo Zheng paused, feeling a small hint of dissatisfaction.
Since Lin Xiaowan began to learn painting, she had only painted a portrait of him once. He had carefully framed it and displayed it at the old residence. However, the cat had only entered their lives a while ago, but she was already painting it. In the future, would the kitten’s status surpass his?
Huo Zheng thought about this matter as he went upstairs to change.
A small gate was installed at the staircase to prevent Little Chestnut from running to the second floor now that it had grown older. Lin Xiaowan even decorated the gate, and it was rather cute.
Based on Little Chestnut’s age, it was possible for it to run around. However, it seemed to be aware that, and its range of movements had always been limited to the first floor. She did not try to go upstairs at all.
Initially, Little Chestnut still looked a little ugly. However, after two months, its fur had grown very thick and shiny, and its color had darkened a lot. Its size also grew rapidly, and it was not a big cat.
Lin Xiaowan loved Little Chestnut so much that she wished she could cuddle it every day. Perhaps the kitten was used to her, it was especially coquettish with her. It was not aloof and would meow whenever it could not see humans. Even when it played, it would play where it could see people.
At this time, it was not even six months old. Thinking about this, Lin Xiaowan drew a little girl wearing a straw hat and playing in the garden. She kept Little Chestnut’s black-and-blue eyes, grayish-black pointed ears, and furry tail. The style of the painting was similar to the lion painting she painted of Huo Zheng.
When Huo Zheng looked at Lin Xiaowan’s unfinished painting of Little Chestnut, he felt quite unhappy.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan heard a sound and turned around. Seeing that Huo Zheng had returned, she put down her brush and pulled him over.
“Look! I’m painting Little Chestnut!”
Little Chestnut was entertaining itself at the side, chasing its own tail.
“Hmm,” Huo Zheng replied. He glanced at Little Chestnut before he told Lin Xiaowan to wash her hands and get ready to eat. If it were up to him, she would not pick up the brush again tonight.
At this time, Lin Xiaowan’s phone rang, reminding her to go to the Venus Hope Competition’s official website to download and print the registration form. When she went to the official website, she saw that the registration would open three days later, which happened to be Monday.
Just as she was about to put her phone away, she remembered that video she posted on Bobo Star a while ago. When she took a look, she was shocked by the number of views. Previously, it only had a few thousand views, but today alone there were more than 100,000 views. It seemed like Bobo Star had inexplicably promoted her video.
Lin Xiaowan showed her phone to Huo Zheng as she exclaimed, “Wow! Look!
So many people viewed Little Chestnut’s video!”
Apart from the views, Lin Xiaowan also gained more than 200 followers. There were also many comments.
She looked through the comments. Most of them praised how cute Little Chestnut was, and there were some who said that Little Chestnut was ugly but cute. Many people also asked why there were no more videos and updates of Little Chestnut, expressing their wish to see Little Chestnut.
“Everyone wants to see Little Chestnut! I’ll take a video tomorrow! Hmm, but what kind of video should I take of her?”
Lin Xiaowan returned to the main page of Bobo Star and began to look up videos of pets for inspiration.
From the beginning until now, Huo Zheng was ignored by Lin Xiaowan. He could no longer endure it and reached out to cover her phone as he asked in a deep voice, “I’m sitting next to you. Why are you ignoring me?”
Lin Xiaowan did not notice anything and replied, “I didn’t ignore you. Didn’t I just tell you about Little Chestnut’s fans?”
‘How can it be like that?’
Huo Zheng took her phone away from her.
Lin Xiaowan watched him place her phone on the bedside table before she asked, “Are we going to sleep now? Aren’t we going to read a book first?”
Previously, Huo Zheng and her would read a book together before bed to improve her oral communication skills.
Huo Zheng turned the light off before he said in a low voice, “No, we’re not sleeping yet.”
Realization dawned on Lin Xiaowan in the next second when Huo Zheng leaned over and kissed her..
