The night was dark.
The sound of the wind blew, and the lights and figures in the distance blurred into a fleeting stream of light, twinkling in the night city.
The kitten with dark fur almost blended into the night, only a pair of blue pupils flickered, it silently jumped in the gap between the shadows, light and silent, without making any sound, like an insubstantial path. Shadows swept across the edge of the city quickly.
Ge Xiu is now completely used to the feeling of running on four legs.
Every muscle attached to the bone was fully mobilized, and the breeze swept through the thick fine hair, down the spine and over the tip of the tail.
The wind whistled in his ears.
Following the route in his memory, he deftly avoided every sentry that was automatically detected, and ran straight towards Shen Boyan's apartment.
It should have been nearly half an hour since Shen Boyan left school.
Going through the gate this time shouldn't work, but before he left, he left a gap in the window just in case.
At least, if he really didn't have time to rush back, Shen Boyan wouldn't feel that his cat was lost in a closed room - that would be too unreasonable.
The window of Shen Boyan's house is an old-fashioned sliding window. As long as it is not locked, a slightly smarter cat may open the window by himself in the room.
Leaving a gap in the window is not only to facilitate his return, but also to prevent Shen Boyan from discovering the truth that he can actually become a human being.
Under the cover of the night, Ge Xiu made a few jumps and landed lightly on the windowsill of Shen Boyan's house.
The lamp in Shen Boyan's house was on, the curtains were not fully drawn, and the warm yellow light was sprinkled on the windowsill through the glass, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
The windows were not closed.
The gap is narrow, but not much of a problem for the cat's soft body.
Ge Xiu got in through the gap in the window, walked to the place where the curtain was not covered by the catwalk, and then jumped down toward the ground.
There was a rustling of water in the bathroom.
Shen Boyan should be taking a bath.
Ge Xiu glanced at the wardrobe - the door of the wardrobe was tightly closed, and there was no sign of being opened. According to the time Shen Boyan took to get home and the time it took to take a shower, he pushed open the wardrobe in such a short time, and found that The possibility of missing a set of clothes is not very likely.
However, maybe Shen Boyan took a change of clothes first and then went in to take a bath.
In any case, we have to wait for him to come out to determine whether he is at risk of being exposed.
Ge Xiu squatted at the door of the bathroom, staring at the warm light coming out of it, and let out a meow.
The sound of water inside stopped instantly.
A few minutes later, Shen Boyan opened the door from the bathroom, and the steaming white mist overflowed from behind him. It fell, dripping on the ground, leaving a little wet streak.
He bent down and put his fingers in front of the little black cat.
The kitten leaned in and sniffed his wet fingers.
Shen Boyan's eyes were pitch black, as if a little warm color was infiltrated by the light behind him.
His voice was low and hoarse: "Where have you been hiding?"
The little black cat raised its head, the bright lights in the bathroom reflected in its green eyes, and made a soft meow:
"Meow."
Shen Boyan straightened up and walked out of the bathroom.
He opened the two big bags that had been left in the hallway—these were all cat supplies he had rushed to buy online yesterday.
Shen Boyan tore open a package of high-grade cat food for kittens, poured a small half into the cat basin, and pushed it in front of Ge Xiu again: "Try this."
The little black cat leaned forward, lowered its head and sniffed, then walked away again without interest.
Shen Boyan frowned: "Do you actually only eat ham?"
He raised his hand to touch the little black cat's head, but the other party gave him a wary look, then took two steps back, turned and jumped onto the dining table that Shen Boyan couldn't touch.
Shen Boyan has long been accustomed to the alienation of the little black cat.
He looked calm, withdrew his hand without any hesitation, then stood up, and pulled a bath towel from the side to wipe the water stains on his body.
Immediately afterwards, he was shirtless and walked towards the wardrobe.
- It seems that Shen Boyan hasn't opened the closet before taking a shower.
And combined with what he said before and the behavior of pouring cat food for himself, it should be that he has not had time to discover anything abnormal.
Ge Xiu watched his movements, and while he was a little relieved, he lifted his heart again.
Even so, if Shen Boyan wants to pick up the clothes he changed after taking a bath, he must open the closet—according to his extremely neat and organized habits, he may not find something missing in his closet. Very likely.
That would be dangerous.
Shen Boyan just pressed his palm on the door of the closet, when he heard a crisp sound from behind - "Crack."
He turned his head and looked back.
The glass originally placed on the table fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.
The little black cat squatting on the table put down its paws, looked up at him innocently, and blinked with a pair of green eyes: "Meow."
Shen Boyan: "..."
He turned around and walked over, picked up the broom and dustpan from the corner, swept the glass fragments from the ground into the garbage bag, and then stuffed the remaining fragile utensils on the table that might have been poisoned into the cupboard.
Ge Xiu lightly jumped to the ground, quietly watching Shen Boyan's series of movements.
After doing all this, he turned and walked towards the closet again.
Shen Boyan opened the wardrobe by half.
At this moment, a soft cat meow sounded at his feet:
"Mi woo."
He looked down and saw the little black cat came to his feet, lowered his head, and rubbed his small head on his ankles and calves, two fluffy pointed ears, Brings a slight itch on the skin.
It rubbed Shen Bo and turned around, and its thin tail was swaying around his calf, then raised its head and looked at the human above it with those dazzling blue eyes, and cried coquettishly: "Meow,"
Shen Boyan bent down, reached out and scratched the top of the little black cat's head.
The little black cat narrowed his eyes and looked up in enjoyment.
"Hungry?" Shen Boyan said, "Wait for me to change my clothes."
After speaking, he straightened up and continued to pull the wardrobe outwards.
- The worry is that you change your clothes.
Relying on Shen Boyan's calf, the little black cat lay on the ground and rolled, with two claws curled in front of him, revealing a fluffy belly.
Shen Boyan looked down and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
He felt as if his heart had been hit in an instant. A soft and numb feeling came in waves.
Who can resist this
Shen Boyan quickly took out a piece of clothing from the closet, closed the door of the closet, then squatted down, scratched the cat's chin, and gently massaged and combed along the texture of its fluff.
The black kitten was lying on the ground with its head up, eyes slightly closed, and a purring sound came out of its throat.
- Really comfortable.
Ge Xiu felt as if he was soaked in the warm and warm current, every fluff relaxed, and swayed comfortably from his ears to the tip of his tail. The current rushes through the general, bringing an indescribable sense of pleasure.
Crisis contacts.
So it's time to stop.
He turned over, hugged the hand with his four fluffy claws, and pushed Shen Boyan's wrist with his two hind legs, biting the other's fingers with his mouth open.
As if the other party couldn't feel it, he kept his index finger being bitten, and changed his hand to scratch the kitten's chin.
Ge Xiu loosened his teeth uncontrollably, raised his neck to let the other party change the angle, and gently scratched his cheeks and chin with a suitable force.
There was a purring sound in the cat's throat, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Anyway... I'm a cat now.
It's ok.
·
The next day, Shen Boyan left the house early again.
Ge Xiu squatted on the pillow and watched him leave. He lowered his head and licked his paws. He calculated the time from now to sunrise in his mind - he wanted to run from the apartment to the warehouse as a cat before the sun rose. Very likely, it seems that this time I have to wait until after the sunrise, and then borrow a set of Shen Boyan's clothes to leave.
This evening, be sure to pay more attention to the time, and be sure to get back before Shen Boyan leaves school.
The sun gradually rose from the horizon, and the brilliant golden light climbed into the interior of the room through the glass. The shadow of a small cat on the ground was suddenly elongated, and the figure of a teenager appeared in the sunlight.
Ge Xiu skillfully dressed and put on his hat, and left the apartment.
After buying some bread and water, he came to the abandoned factory.
Those three people were still tied up in their original positions—obviously, Gao Cheng had already told them about his experience. When they saw Ge Xiu coming in, although they looked vigilant and fearful, they didn’t make any drastic actions such as screaming and struggling. .
Ghosh released their hands and dropped food and water on their knees.
He sat down next to him, hugging his knees and watching the three gobble.
He was not worried at all that the three people took the opportunity to fight back—the inner cohesion of the collar wearers was not low, and now that Gao Cheng's collar had not been repaired, they couldn't and didn't dare to resist.
Even if it does strike back...
Also useless.
When the three of them were awake and physically strong, Ge Xiu was able to 1v1 three, and now they are no threat to him at all.
·
Silence returned to Shen Boyan's apartment.
At this moment, the sound of the key being inserted into the keyhole sounded on the door, and the clear metal collision sound was harsh in the room.
The next second, Shen Boyan's calm face appeared outside the door.
He walked in, looked around the room, paused for a moment on his slightly sunken pillow, and then withdrew his gaze unsurprisingly.
The cat is gone.
He didn't bother to rummage through the boxes in the room to find it, but turned around, walked to the wardrobe unhurriedly, and pulled it open.
Shen Boyan lowered his eyes and looked at the neatly stacked clothes in his closet. He raised his hand and turned it over.
- One less set.
Shen Boyan slowly closed the wardrobe door, turned his head and glanced at the empty house, his dark pupils were bottomless, and he could not see any unnecessary emotional fluctuations.
really.
His expression remained unchanged, and he turned and left the apartment.
The door closed behind him.
The room was silent again, and there was no sound at all.
