After sending out the live stream announcement, Jiang Tang tossed the lightbrain aside and excitedly planned to go watch Lu Rongming and the others dig potatoes.
George, who was investigating outside, discovered what seemed to be potato plants in a low-lying area north of the villa. After confirming it, Jiang Tang was overjoyed and decided to add “croquettes” to tomorrow’s menu.
Speaking of potatoes, in Jiang Tang’s previous life, they were after the wheat, rice, and corn, making them the fourth most important food crop in the world.
Not only were they called “yangyu”, “shanyadan”, and “yangfan” in different regions of China, but potatoes were also a common dish on people’s tables around the world. The French called it “underground apple”, the Germans called it “earth pear”, and the Russians referred to it as “second bread”.
All in all, discovering potatoes on this planet was simply a pleasant surprise.
Jiang Tang imagined mashed potatoes, croquettes, french fries, cumin baby potatoes and all sorts of dishes lining up to greet him.
Just thinking about delicious food filled Jiang Tang with energy. He felt like he could dig up eight hundred pounds of potatoes!
Jiang Tang headed straight for George’s location, but he didn’t know that as soon as he stepped out, Wen Renyuan, who was dozing off nearby, quietly opened his eyes.
Wen Renyuan first looked around and confirmed that everyone in the house was out digging for those “potatoes.”
Then he hopped onto Jiang Tang’s bed, stretched out his evil little hand like a thief, and quickly pulled the lightbrain that Jiang Tang had thrown aside in front of him.
Jiang Tang had just finished using his lightbrain and hadn’t even had the chance to lock it before leaving it at home.
Wen Renyuan wore a serious expression. His pink and tender little pads were tapping quick movements on the virtual keyboard, creating afterimages with how fast he was working.
If Jiang Tang was here, he would definitely feel it was so cute that he would cover his heart and scream at the sight of the fluffy creature squatting next to the lightbrain with a solemn expression on its face as if it was handling state affairs.
This was simply a cute contrast!
Fortunately, the lightbrain Jiang Tang had was one the Jiang family had purchased when they first brought back the original owner. The Jiang family, wanting to save face, bought a high-end light brain for this young master.
After a series of complicated setups, Wen Renyuan finally sent the encrypted message to his deputy general through the military’s dedicated channel.
Before long, a video call from the palace came in.
A small kitten shook its whiskers, scratched the bedsheets a couple of times, and reluctantly clicked to answer.
The holographic image of a silver-haired man gradually came into view as he sat behind an office desk.
“Xiao Yuan, you… pff!” The man couldn’t help but burst out laughing when he saw the little kitten no bigger than the size of a palm squatting on the bed.
He really couldn’t bring himself to tell his younger brother that with his current size, no matter how properly he squatted or how high he tilted his head, he could never seem imposing as just a little kitten!
Wen Renxi cleared his throat and suppressed his laughter.
“It’s good that you’re fine. The fact that you went missing earlier can’t be hidden from Mother much longer.” Wen Renxi sighed, “Mother’s health has been getting worse in recent years, and there’s still no news from the research institute.”
The little kitten let out a gentle meow, and Wen Renxi relaxed a bit.
“Yes, there’s still hope. We can’t give up easily. By the way, how come you’re back in your cub form?” Wen Renxi looked at Wen Renyuan with a smirk, “I haven’t seen you like this in a long time. Can you change back to your human form?”
The little kitten visibly wilted. Wen Renyuan lay on the bed dispiritedly and hummed.
Wen Renxi frowned. “Did you injure your spiritual sea? No wonder…”
Wen Renyuan: “Meow.”
Wen Renxi rubbed his chin and nodded. “In that case, you should continue staying on G-7012 and focus on healing. The military doesn’t have any pressing matters for now. By the way, what’s this little streamer’s name? I like to check it out when I have time.”
Wen Renyuan: “Meow meow meow!”
Looking at the little kitten in front of him who was about to explode, Wen Renxi’s eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn’t seen his brother this anxious in a long time. Then he thought of how Wen Renyuan normally wore a cold and expressionless face. Tsk, he was really becoming less cute as he grew up.
Wen Renxi lightly tapped his fingers on the table. It seemed he would need to send someone to investigate this little streamer. Could it be that his younger brother was finally going to blossom?
Mother would definitely be happy to know and would redirect her energy to Wen Renyuan. He just hoped she wouldn’t continue introducing him to those beautiful girls and noble ladies every day. He simply couldn’t handle it anymore.
The two brothers ended the call, each with their own thoughts.
Before long, Jiang Tang and the others returned with a full load.
When Jiang Tang saw the little cat curled up obediently on the bed, his hands suddenly began to itch.
Ever since the last live stream when Jiang Tang had successfully attacked Wen Renyuan while he wasn’t paying attention, he had thoroughly gave the little kitten a good beating[mfn]Petting, rubbing[/mfn]. Although Wen Renyuan had purred a bit in comfort at that time, he never let Jiang Tang touch him again.
Every time Jiang Tang reached out to get closer, Wen Renyuan would swiftly jump away.
Now seeing Jiang Tang sneakily approaching him with his hand getting nearer and nearer, Wen Renyuan felt a bit guilty inside. Gritting his teeth, he deliberately did not dodge this time.
Go ahead and pet me! It won’t hurt me to lose a bit of fur!
Jiang Tang: !!!
Jiang Tang finally got to touch the fluffiness again. The soft fur brushed against his fingertips, and he couldn’t help but grinning.
Wen Renyuan looked at the young man’s crescent-shaped eyebrows. To his surprise, he felt a softness in his heart. How silly, what’s there to be happy about?
If Jiang Tang could hear Wen Renyuan’s inner thoughts, he would undoubtedly shout: No! You don’t understand the heart of a serious fluff enthusiast who is obsessed with fur!
“By the way!” Jiang Tang suddenly remembered, “Kitty, the toy I customized has arrived. Let’s play with it together!”
Wen Renyuan: ???
Wen Renyuan watched as the young man, bursting with excitement, pulled out… a laser pen from somewhere?
A familiar sense of ominous premonition suddenly took hold in his heart…
Jiang Tang pressed the button on the laser pen, and a red laser beam shot out, creating a small red dot on the floor.
Wen Renyuan: …
Wen Renyuan: !!!
Wen Renyuan scratched at the floor with determination before finally biting down on his eager paws.
No… he had to hold back…
Seeing the little kitten unresponsive, Jiang Tang was confused. “Huh? This shouldn’t be. Don’t all cats like this?”
Jiang Tang controlled the red dot to move it slowly across the floor.
“Meow!”
Wen Renyuan let out an exasperated meow and finally pounced on it.
Jiang Tang: “I knew it! No cat can resist this temptation! Hehe!”
The little kitten darted around, pouncing on the dot on the floor with agile movements.
Wen Renyuan saw Jiang Tang’s eyes lighting up with excitement and let out a cold snort in his heart. This person must be mesmerized by his graceful posture and fierce movements, that’s why he was staring at him.
But he forgot that he was just a little ball the size of a palm at this moment and not the imposing Imperial Marshal of the past who could strike fear into the hearts of enemies.
Jiang Tang at the side was already flooded with thoughts of “Ahhh! The little one is so cute, I can’t breathe! Awei is dead, someone save me!”
Jiang Tang finally couldn’t resist. He scooped up the little kitten and brought it close, giving its fluffy mouth a quick kiss.
“Kitty, you’re just too cute!”
Meow~
