CHAPTER 117: CHAPTER 41: MYSTERIOUS CAT GIRL_3
"Is her body okay?" Knowing that this cat-eared girl lived on CD-0329 Star, Du Xixi instinctively felt this cat-eared girl was trustworthy and asked Rob.
Rob never lies, and honestly replied, "Very bad."
The ribs were almost broken, the spine seriously injured, internal fractures in both legs, and scars on the wrist... Even Rob, a mecha, felt that this girl’s life force was tenacious, as she was still alive despite such severe injuries.
Moreover, judging by the strength she used to knock on the door earlier, although a bit weak, it was quite loud; it seems, when the cat-eared girl gets fierce, she might even be able to kill a rat in front of her with her claws.
"Help her heal." Du Xixi is someone who easily softens, and at this moment, she undoubtedly softened towards the cat-eared girl, "We can take care of her for a few days, and if she is willing, she can stay after her wounds heal, no problem."
Ke Lian went to the battlefield, so Du Xixi was left with only 2569 and Rob, and sometimes she felt a bit lonely. The appearance of this cat-eared girl came at the right time; keeping her at Du Xixi’s place would be adding a friend to confide in.
Since Du Xixi wanted it, Rob naturally had no objections. Du Xixi then looked up and met the eyes of the cat-eared girl, speaking softly, "Can you understand what we are saying?"
The cat-eared girl continued to look at Du Xixi cautiously, but seeing that Du Xixi was looking at her with a gentle and kind smile, the girl nodded lightly.
Although she couldn’t speak, the cat-eared girl could understand the conversation between Du Xixi and others.
"Do you want to stay and recuperate?" Knowing the cat-eared girl was highly guarded against her, Du Xixi tried her best to appear approachable, "If you are willing, nod your head."
Du Xixi genuinely hoped she would stay; otherwise, as an injured girl alone outside, even finding food might be a problem. Staying here was definitely safer.
The cat-eared girl, though not understanding much, knew what was beneficial for her. Hearing this, she thought for a moment and nodded, agreeing to stay.
Du Xixi’s smile deepened, her warmth almost penetrating the cat-eared girl’s heart: "Do you have a name?"
The cat-eared girl shook her head. A name? Those humans called her a monster and pitiful creature, she had no name...
Du Xixi then gently stood up, walked to the cat-eared girl, squatted down slightly, and softly said, "From now on, you will be called Miao Miao, okay?"
The name Miao Miao was thought up by Du Xixi almost instantly, as if it was naturally suitable for the cat-eared girl, and upon hearing it, the girl inexplicably felt happy and nodded, then opened her mouth.
Although Miao Miao didn’t make any sound, Du Xixi could see that this still somewhat wary, innocent girl was mimicking her mouth shape saying "Miao Miao."
Because Miao Miao came to this home, Du Xixi was very happy. Originally intending to make a delicious meal to celebrate, she remembered that Miao Miao’s body was weak. Even after Rob helped to reconnect most ribs and bones, she was still fragile and shouldn’t have strong flavored food.
Thinking it over, Du Xixi felt that not only did Miao Miao need to be nourished, but she herself was also a pregnant woman needing soup, so she straightforwardly rolled up her sleeves, teamed up with 2569, and cooked a large pot of potato and sparerib porridge—specifically using pork bones to make the broth.
Eating what one lacks, with Miao Miao’s body mostly damaged in the bones, eating foods related to bones was natural. Pork bone soup and sparerib porridge, Du Xixi simply liked this flavor of porridge, thus deciding the dinner.
Miao Miao, who used to eat raw meat and lived in a rain-leaking hole, only after arriving at this villa realized that a shelter needs a roof, and food needs to be cooked, leaving her visibly shocked.
Miao Miao used to grab meat with her hands; now sitting at the table, Du Xixi wouldn’t let her use her hands to grab the hot porridge and handed a spoon to Miao Miao.
Du Xixi said warmly, "Miao Miao, we humans need utensils to eat. Start with a spoon; later, I will slowly teach you to use chopsticks."
Chopsticks require learning to grasp, so Du Xixi wouldn’t make Miao Miao use the high-difficulty chopsticks for her first meal. A spoon, which can be used as long as grasped, is undoubtedly suitable for Miao Miao, who previously lived like an animal.
Du Xixi served Miao Miao a bowl of potato and sparerib porridge, fragrant with its aroma; the spareribs were stewed into softness, even the potatoes soaked up the broth, naturally delicious.
Though Miao Miao was a bit clumsy with the spoon, the allure of good food is compelling. With just a few trembling spoonfuls, she managed to use the spoon smoothly, even excitedly using her left hand to hold the bowl and incessantly feed the porridge into her mouth.
"Slow down, don’t burn yourself." Du Xixi saw Miao Miao gobbling the porridge, seemingly unafraid of the heat, and hurriedly reached out to stop her, "The bones are not for eating, just have some meat."
Miao Miao couldn’t stop once she started eating; Du Xixi, unable to stop her, could only lightly laugh and say, "You really are stubborn."
