Chapter 239 Building a Nest for Little Orange
Chapter 239 Building a Nest for Little Orange
"Little Orange, I'm taking you to my room. Remember, this is your room too." Xiao Siyue carried Little Orange into the room.
"Miss, you brought the cat back!" Lan Yi was very happy to see the little orange in Xiao Siyue's arms. What girl doesn't like cats?
"Yes, Lanyi, I named it Little Orange. From now on, it's ours." Xiao Siyue sat in the chair, and Little Orange lay quietly on her lap, looking sleepy with its eyes slightly closed.
"Little Orange, what a cute name."
Little Orange trusts Xiao Siyue a lot now; Xiao Siyue can even hear the little guy snoring.
Now that she had adopted Little Orange, Xiao Siyue planned to take good care of her from now on.
Xiao Siyue sat down at the desk, holding the little orange.
After a short while, he had drawn several drawings.
There's a little house for the little orange, a cotton mat, and some small toys.
These were meant to be kept indoors, so Xiao Siyue also drew an outdoor cat bed, which was quite exquisite.
"Lanyi, take these blueprints and have the servant in the house who knows carpentry build a nest for Little Orange, right there on the lawn."
"And this, make another small house and put it in my room." Xiao Siyue handed the blueprints to Lan Yi.
"Okay, miss, I'll go find someone right away."
"Wait, there's also this. Have the old women in the manor make it, and put plenty of cotton inside. Make it soft."
“Miss, I can make this myself, there’s no need to look for anyone else,” Lan Yi said, looking at the cat mat on the drawing.
"Alright, you can make the mat then." Seeing Lan Yi's enthusiasm, Xiao Siyue handed it over to Lan Yi.
The cat's little house is very simple and can be made in a day.
"Little Orange, look, this is your little nest. You'll sleep here from now on, okay?" Xiao Siyue tucked Little Orange into the little house on the ground.
However, Xiao Ju Zi didn't seem to like it. When Xiao Si Yue was reading and writing, she would lie down on the chair next to her and sleep.
Helpless, Xiao Siyue could only put a cushion on the chair specifically for Xiao Ju Zi.
"Little Orange, come on, I'll take you out to play." Xiao Siyue took Little Orange to Lin Qin's yard.
"Mom, look what this is!" Xiao Siyue showed off her little orange.
"Hey, where did you get this raccoon dog?" Lin Qin's eyes lit up.
"Mom, this is Little Orange. It came to my yard by itself a while ago." Xiao Siyue touched Little Orange.
Perhaps because she saw a stranger, Little Orange buried her head tightly in Xiao Siyue's arms.
"Don't be scared, little orange, this is my mom." Xiao Siyue patted the little orange reassuringly.
"Hehe, this little guy is a bit timid," Lin Qin said, reaching out to touch him.
"Hmm, she's quite timid. I had to feed her for several days before she let me hold her, but she's very obedient and doesn't fuss at all."
The little guy eats and sleeps all day long, and doesn't cause any trouble.
Afterwards, Xiao Siyue took Xiao Ju Zi to the courtyard of Grandpa Xiao and his wife, as well as their aunt and second aunt...
In the end, the whole family found out about Little Orange's existence.
"Let's go, we're going back." Xiao Siyue returned to her courtyard, satisfied.
"Come on, climb up from here." Xiao Siyue placed the little orange on the wooden trunk outside.
There's a small house on top of the wooden pole; this is the outdoor house we made for Little Orange.
Little Orange was very clever. It used its four little paws to climb up the wooden pole, stood at the door of the little house, peeked inside, and then crawled inside.
Then I lay down comfortably on the mat inside.
After watching for a while, Xiao Siyue left.
Xiao Siyue returned to her room to continue dealing with her own affairs.
After being busy for a while, Xiao Siyue stretched her arms and, seeing that Xiao Juzi hadn't returned, decided to go out and check.
"Little Orange, what are you doing?" Xiao Siyue had just walked to the veranda when she saw Little Orange lying by the pond, its little paws restlessly reaching into the water.
Xiao Siyue hurriedly ran over and saw Xiao Juzi Chun drooling as she watched the fish swimming around in the pond.
"Hey, you little rascal, you've only been eyeing my fish for a few days and you've already got your hands on them. Get your claws back right now."
"Meow, meow~~" Little Orange saw Xiao Siyue and meowed twice, seemingly wanting her help to catch fish.
"No, you can't eat my fish." Xiao Siyue grabbed the soft flesh around Xiao Juzi's neck and lifted it up.
"Meow, meow!" Little Orange was unhappy and kept jumping around with its four little paws.
"No, you can't eat the fish in the pond. I'll have someone get you some fish from the kitchen." The pond only has ornamental fish; there's hardly enough for this little guy.
"Okay, let's go back, and I'll give you some." Xiao Siyue hugged the little orange into her arms, patted its tummy, and comforted it.
"Meow~~" Little Orange meowed contentedly.
"Hey, what's your name?" Xiao Siyue asked a young maid.
"Miss, my name is Xiao Hong." The maid looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. When she heard Xiao Siyue call her name, she quickly came over to greet her.
"Xiaohong, go to the kitchen and see if there's any fresh fish, preferably one with fewer bones. Bring me a small one." Little Orange is still small, and she's afraid she'll choke on a fish bone.
"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away." Xiao Hong turned and ran off.
"Alright, wait a moment, the fish will be here soon. You can't go fishing in the pond anymore, understand?" Xiao Siyue placed Xiao Juzi on the chair and lectured her.
"Meow~~" The little orange cat's voice was soft, and it rubbed its head against Xiao Siyue, instantly melting her heart.
"Okay, if you behave, I'll give you lots and lots of your favorite snacks." Xiao Siyue affectionately scratched Xiao Ju's neck.
Sure enough, no matter what kind of cat it is, they all like to have their necks scratched. Little Orange immediately raised its head high in comfort, squinted its eyes, and let Xiao Siyue scratch it.
"Miss," a moment later Xiao Hong brought over a plate of fresh fish.
"You removed the fish bones!" Xiao Siyue asked in surprise when she saw the fish meat on the plate.
"Yes, Miss, I thought Little Orange was still young, so I kicked the fishbone away," Xiao Hong said frankly.
"Yes, thank you very much. You did a great job. If you have time in the future, please take good care of Xiao Ju Zi." Xiao Si Yue didn't expect this little maid to be so perceptive, and she grew to like her even more.
Besides, although I like Xiaojuzi, I sometimes get busy and can't take care of her, so it's fine to have this little maid look after her on weekdays.
"Yes, Miss, I will definitely take good care of Little Orange." Xiao Hong nodded excitedly, and it was clear that she liked Little Orange very much.
"Okay, you can go and get back to work now."
Xiao Hong happily left the room. Being so young, she couldn't contain her emotions and walked out with light steps.
