All he could do was smile wryly.
"Albe seems like a cat at first glance, but honestly, you're more like a dog."
"...What part of me is like a dog?"
Albe looked genuinely puzzled.
Rather than answering immediately, Qiong Xing simply chuckled and continued stroking the kitten.
Albe might not realize it himself, but in Qiong Xing's eyes, he was very much like a dog.
He cared deeply about his family and was always there to support and help Qiong Xing whenever he needed it.
Though he was not very good at expressing affection openly, the way he became visibly dejected whenever something happened to Qiong Xing, apologizing for not being able to do more, was incredibly endearing.
"Now then, where are your parents?"
"Meow~"
The kitten's injuries had been healed and its stomach was full.
Qiong Xing tried asking whether it had somewhere to return to, but naturally he had no idea what a cat was saying.
The kitten showed no signs of running away either.
