Make a Choice

Jiang Xian pointed at the cub that was tied up and gagged on the ground. "Ling'er," he said seriously, "Choose now. Do you want this cub or me, your brother?"

Jiang Ling'er's heart ached a little when she saw the cat all tied up. Her child had suffered. She would give him an extra dried fish later.

She said, "Brother, you've become more handsome again!"

Jiang Xian's lips curled into a smile. Ling'er didn't have any special skills when she was young, but she has always had a sweet mouth. Even after she grew up, that fact stayed the same.

"Don't say useless things," He said. "Tell me, do you want me or your cat? You have to choose."

"I can't choose, Brother," Jiang Ling'er said seriously. "Little Leopard is your birthday present to me. I naturally can't bear to give him up."

Jiang Xian said, "Hmph... I knew it. In your heart, I'm not even as good as this cat."

Jiang Ling'er was speechless. How should she reply to this?
