An amusing event unfolded as the older generation began sharing memes.
Liu Linze, an old friend of Ruan He, who had retired from his role as a general due to Jingshen instability, went to deliver gifts to Ruan Shu. His high school-aged granddaughter visited him that day, only to find him typing intently on his terminal and occasionally letting out odd chuckles.
Curious, she decided to sneak up on him to surprise him. However, as she got closer, her attention was drawn to a zoomed-in image on his terminal.
It was an adorable, round-cheeked kitten munching on a fish snack, its big, watery blue eyes wide open. The kitten looked soft, fluffy, and white, with chubby cheeks and a shy expression. It was so cute that she…
Suddenly, she felt something warm in her nose. When she touched it, she realized she was having a nosebleed.
As her grandfather continued to scroll through his terminal, she watched him save the picture and move on to the next one. She was about to tell him to stop when the following image left her speechless.
It was a photo of a ragdoll kitten sleeping.
The fluffy white kitten lay with its head resting in a hand, its tiny head tilted adorably as it slept soundly. Its soft, bushy tail curled over its belly like a cozy blanket, with its front paws quietly placed over the tail. Its two back legs, however, were raised, revealing pristine little pink paw pads.
And there it was again—a warm rush in her nose. She felt another nosebleed coming.
Finally noticing the smell of blood, Liu Linze turned to see his granddaughter standing there, blood trickling onto the floor. For a moment, the two simply stared at each other, eyes wide.
Then, with a casual swipe of her hand to wipe away the blood, she leaped at him with an excited shout.
“Grandpa! My dear grandpa, what was that? Let me see, show me, please!”
Her voice was so loud it gave him a bit of a start.
Liu Linze: “…”
He couldn’t help but feel envious of Ruan He, whose granddaughter spoke so sweetly, with a soft and gentle voice that melted his heart. His granddaughter, on the other hand, had been loud and boisterous from birth, as if afraid the world might not hear her.
In the end, after much cajoling and even a threat to wreck the house if she didn’t get the pictures, Liu Linze begrudgingly sent a few photos to her, grumbling the whole time.
Looking at the images of the cute little girl and the kitten, Liu Huan let out a slightly creepy giggle, her nosebleed staining her clothes red.
Liu Linze looked at her in utter disdain.
“Pathetic!”
With just a little nosebleed from those pictures, her grandpa still had tons more in his collection that he hadn’t shared with her.
Sensing his thoughts, Liu Huan’s eyes practically glowed green as she looked at her grandfather.
“Grandpa, I don’t believe that’s all you have! Hand over your terminal—I want to see everything for myself!”
She was practically like an overexcited puppy ready to pounce on him.
In the end, after relentless pleading, she finally got her wish and saw her grandfather’s full collection.
She eagerly sent each of the images to herself—every single one of those memes! How could there be such adorable little cuties?
And then… there were videos too.
Oh no, oh no—the little ones in the videos were even cuter, especially with their soft, babbling baby voices.
Pffft!
Liu Huan was so overwhelmed by the cuteness of the different versions of these adorable creatures in the videos that she fainted from another nosebleed.
Liu Linze: “…”
He knew his granddaughter was all brawn and no brains, but he hadn’t realized just how hopelessly silly she could be. He rolled his eyes at her several times in disdain before giving her a little kick to keep her at a distance.
He was seriously considering whether he could sell his granddaughter for just one star coin.
When Liu Huan woke up, she sat there happily on the floor, giggling as she looked through her newly saved images and videos.
Just then, messages started popping up in her friend group chat.
LemonNotSour: Ugh, I haven’t written a single word of my homework, got too carried away playing games.
StrawberryNotRed: Same here! Anyone up for writing my homework? I’ll literally call you dad if you do.
RoofRaiser: So you can perform the classic “parent-child respect” scene?
DidSecondSonWreckTheHouseToday: LOL, I just had a fight with my dad. My face is still swollen. He actually hit me in the face—this dad isn’t worth keeping! (cigarette.jpg)
HouseWreckerHuan: (Cat sigh.jpg)
LemonNotSour: Forget it, I’ll just cram it all when school starts.
LemonNotSour: Wait, what was that up there?
RoofRaiser: ??!!
DidSecondSonWreckTheHouseToday: ??!!
StrawberryNotRed: ??!!
A chorus of question marks and exclamation marks filled the chat, showing their shock and curiosity.
Liu Huan couldn’t resist showing off and kept sending more memes.

Liu Huan sent over a dozen more memes to the group chat, causing her friends to completely freak out.
DidSecondSonWreckTheHouseToday: What is this? Who is this soft, adorable little creature? Did someone dream this up?
LemonNotSour: Oh my god, I feel like it’s about to jump out of the screen! Can you imagine? I just want to cuddle it from its head down to its little tail.
StrawberryNotRed: Huan Huan, where did you get these memes? What kind of cat is this?
All of Liu Huan’s shared memes were of the cat. As for the little munchkin… well, she was keeping those to herself. Who wouldn’t want to hoard such a squishy little cutie? Just seeing it made her want to give it a gentle bite!
HouseWreckerHuan: I got them from my grandpa! Can you believe it? He’s an elder who never even browses the Starnet, but his group chat is filled with these adorable memes. He even has more photos and videos, hehe…
HouseWreckerHuan: I’m absolutely in love with this tiny, fluffy kitten! How could there be such a small, beautiful star beast baby?
HouseWreckerHuan: And that tiny, pink paw… I just really want to give it a little nibble.
LemonNotSour: Ahhh… Hand over the memes, please!
StrawberryNotRed: I just went to ask my grandparents, but why doesn’t their elderly group chat have these?!
DidSecondSonWreckTheHouseToday: OMG, OMG, I checked my grandma’s group, and guess what? They have these too—not just the kitten, but these ones too!

He shared a series of memes featuring an adorable, chubby-cheeked little “rice ball” baby, all soft and round like a delicate dumpling.
