"No." Tangtang immediately hugged her little backpack, looking nervous.
She quickly glanced at Tang Xi to make sure her mom wasn't angry, then tentatively said, "Mommy, Xiaomi is really pitiful, it's soaking wet. Can we keep it, please? I promise it will be very well-behaved."
Seeing her daughter pleading, Tang Xi smiled helplessly. "Its name is Xiaomi?"
She bent down to open the backpack and saw a white kitten inside.
It lay there soaking wet, but very well-behaved.
Tangtang gently held the kitten in her arms and looked imploringly at Tang Xi, "Yeah, its name is Xiaomi, it has no mommy or daddy. Mommy, please, I'll take good care of Xiaomi, let me keep it, it's so pitiful."
Tangtang coaxed and pleaded, and Tang Xi couldn't bear to refuse, plus she liked small animals herself.
