The kitten lay motionless on the bay window, curled up with its tail, lazily asleep in the glow of the setting sun that cast its snow-white fur into golden hues.
She had fallen asleep for the entire afternoon.
Sitting there in a daze for a while, she picked up her cell phone from the nightstand, not knowing when it had shut down, charged it, and walked to the window, gently touching the kitten's head with her hand.
The kitten lazily lifted its eyelids, glanced at her, and closed its eyes again.
"From now on, this will be your home, okay?" she asked softly, her eyebrows and eyes unbelievably tender under the golden sunset.
The kitten yawned.
"How about I give you a name? They say cats have nine lives, so how about I call you Ah Jiu, okay?"
The kitten "meowed" twice, and Yun Ya chuckled softly.
"Ah Jiu..."
"How nice, with Miaomiao gone, you can keep me company instead, right? Ah Jiu?"
