"Not fat, just healthier," Iris corrected him. "They were too thin when we got them."
"Hmm…" Jin Liwei carried the two kittens and walked to her.
Ice Cream quickly rubbed her head against his hand, then got bored just as quickly. She remained still, looking at the floor, silently indicating that she wanted to be set down. Jin Liwei didn't notice her attempt at silent communication. Popcorn continued to climb from his hand to his shirt, meowing loudly, as if demanding where his daddy went, why he was gone for so long.
Jin Liwei set the two kittens gently on the floor. Ice Cream immediately walked to her fluffy bed and fell asleep. Popcorn tried catching his daddy's attention but soon gave up. Daddy was too preoccupied with mommy.
Jin Liwei leaned down to finally gather his baby girl in his embrace, kissing her hungrily on the mouth.
Iris wrapped her arms around his neck and returned his kiss, but then pushed him back and moved her face away after just a few seconds.
