Shu Shu felt a bit embarrassed under the surprised gaze of the butler and covered her face with her little paws.
"Meow"~"
Although she felt embarrassed, she still politely greeted him.
It's just that, well, cats can't speak.
The butler widened his eyes, completely shocked by the whole situation.
"Is this... the young miss?"
"Yes."
The butler looked bewildered in the image.
Yes, that's the young woman in her star beast form. She is small and fluffy, a palm-sized creature that the marshal could easily hold in his hand!
"What would you like to eat?"
Shu Shu stood on her hind legs in her father's hand, her front paws resting on the edge of the table as she peered at the breakfast spread on the table.
Upon seeing the food, her previously drooping ears perked up, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
The fragrant aroma made everything look so delicious.
"Where's her bowl?"
The butler, now back to his senses, quickly brought Shu Shu's food bowl over, stealing a few more glances at her.
Ruan Xiao placed the small cat on the table, positioned the bowl in front of it, and then selected a bun for it.
"Go ahead and eat."
His voice was deep, and he didn't say much, but he was patient.
"Meow"~"
Shu Shu affectionately rubbed her head against her father's hand before starting to eat.
She ate with great focus, her fluffy tail swaying back and forth.
After finishing, she licked her lips to clean herself, as she was a very tidy cat.
At this point, Ruan Xiao would add a few dumplings or other foods to her bowl.
Only when her belly was full would she meow and jump into his arms, her clear eyes indicating that she was satisfied.
Ruan Xiao nodded, and after feeding the little one, he began to eat his breakfast in earnest.
Ruan Qingran propped her chin up, her long, narrow eyes looking somewhat regretful as she hadn't fed the little one herself.
But it didn't matter; after all, she was her little cousin, and there would be other opportunities.
After eating her fill, Shu Shu couldn't help but display her cat-like innocence in her father's arms. She tapped her paws, washed her face, and made purring sounds in her throat.
After transforming into a cat, her behavior and movements were influenced by her feline nature.
Ruan Qingran had other matters to attend to, and although she wanted to stay and study her little cousin, the hospital had called several times to urge her.
"Little cousin, until next time, remember to take your medicine."
She had a faint smile in her eyes; her whole demeanor was calm and composed. When she didn't smile, she seemed distant, which made people hesitant to approach her.
"Meow~"
Shu Shu had a favorable impression of the brother who had given her a candy when she was helpless, and most importantly, he didn't reject her!
It would have been better if he hadn't added that last sentence before leaving.
A cat's tongue is much more sensitive than a human's, and cats dislike taking medicine because it tastes so bitter.
The obedient and gentle Ragdoll cat sat in her father's arms, raising a paw and waving it at him.
Goodbye~
Is Dad not going to work today?
The little cat tilted her head and looked up at her father.
Ruan Xiao patted her head.
Although he used very little force, the cat's head was immediately pressed down.
Her tail and hind legs were lifted, trembling, and the pink pads of her paws were visible.
Ruan Xiao "..."
He casually withdrew his hand.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, how could it be so cute?
"Meow meow meow"~"
The ragdoll cat was very gentle, not at all angry, and even used her fluffy head to nuzzle his hand.
She seemed particularly easy to bully.
Ruan Xiao frowned. With such a gentle nature, what would happen if she were bullied at school?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the schools he had previously chosen for Shu Shu were not reliable.
He simply opened the terminal and started searching.
"Come and take a look, which school do you want to attend?"
He pointed to the top ten elite schools on the virtual screen, not even bothering to look at those beyond the top ten.
Ruan Xiao had completely forgotten that he had originally planned for the little one to attend the First Military Academy. He had even told the butler that she couldn't endure any hardship, or else she wouldn't be considered a true child of the Ruan family.
Meanwhile, the butler, standing not far away, pretended to forget what the master had said before.
"St." Deland, no, too focused on grades.
His daughter seemed a bit silly, with a clear foolishness in her eyes, so she shouldn't attend such a competitive school.
"Albilly is too strict in teaching and focused on aristocratic education, no."
She hadn't learned those things since she was young, and her delicate body probably wouldn't adapt to high-intensity study.
"Hongyuan Military Kindergarten primarily focuses on training students in combat skills."
If his daughter went there, she would definitely be bullied. Given her small size, a single punch could knock her down.
After rejecting several schools in a row, Shu Shu's expression remained bewildered from start to finish.
Oh, right, she's four years old now; it's time for her to go to school.
But Shu Shu was still a bit scared and nervous.
But seeing her father so earnestly choosing a school for her, her mood was filled with joy.
Doesn't this mean that Dad also likes her?
The tip of the ragdoll cat's tail wagged happily.
After rejecting six schools, Ruan Xiao finally settled on the seventh-ranked kindergarten as her final choice.
It was a kindergarten specifically designed for herbivorous star beasts.
Even among star beasts, there were significant conflicts between herbivorous and carnivorous species.
Most herbivorous star beasts dislike the oppressive and predatory nature of carnivorous species, and their personalities are generally more gentle.
The learning environment inside was relatively relaxed, and it was not far from the First Military Academy.
His son was attending the First Military Academy so he could have his son look after her.
As for the kindergarten under the jurisdiction of the First Military Academy, he hadn't even thought about it. Even though it was a kindergarten, it was managed in a military style, and the children only returned home once a week.
Come to think of it, he hadn't even told his sons about Shu Shu.
Oh well, he would tell them when they came back.
Shu Shu carefully looked at the school with her father.
"This is the most suitable option we have found for you."
Shu Shu obediently nodded her head, her clear sapphire-like eyes filled with joy. As long as it was chosen by her father, she would like it.
She happily wagged her little tail. Her father had spent so long finding it for her. Shu Shu was so happy.
In her previous life, no one had ever cared for her, not even about her schooling. She had gone straight to preschool without attending kindergarten.
For her schooling, her parents had argued again.
No one wanted to waste time taking her to school, even though it was the closest school to home.
