In the morning, Feng Yi woke up on the patchwork round bed.
After stretching out for a whole night, I felt refreshed!
I don't want to get up for a while.
Just lie down for a while longer.
The smells I smelled were somewhat unfamiliar. Some were the smell of the house renovation materials, and some were the smell of the environment outside the house, which blew into the house with the wind.
The smell from the outside environment is not unpleasant. There are many ecological scenic spots and protection areas near Yueshan Mountain, and the greening near the community is also very good. The smell of wild nature, mixed with various scents of human activities, actually gives a sense of harmony.
Feng Yi was thinking about some things in the past. When he came to his senses, he finally felt that the touch of the pillow under his head was wrong.
It is the tip of the tail that runs under the head while you are sleeping.
“Tsk.”
The tail has a mind of its own.
Move your tail and move away.
He wanted to continue taking a nap for a while, but the smell of food made Feng Yi feel itchy.
The lingering sleepiness was forcefully pushed away by hunger.
"Get up! Eat!"
Eating is the most important thing!
Feng Yi became excited.
It’s a pity that the space in this temporary living place is not big, and I can’t use the tail-swinging posture to get up.
He climbed down from the bed, and his heavy, solid tail fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Feng Yi carefully felt the vibration of the floor and nodded with satisfaction.
“The renovation is pretty good.”
If the house was replaced with the previous decoration materials, such as ordinary tiles or wooden floors, they would probably break directly.
Feng Yi quickly washed and packed up, returned to his mimicry, changed into a set of casual home clothes, and walked out of the room.
Breakfast is ready and Xiaojia is in charge.
Xiaojia is more skilled in this job than Xiaoding, and he knows Feng Yi's appetite and preferences better.
When Xiao Bing is not around, Xiao Jia works part-time as a chef, earning double the money by doing two jobs.
Xiaojia’s taste control is not as good as that of professionals like Xiaobing when it comes to cooking, but Xiaojia has some understanding of what kind of dishes, meat, and which part of the meat Feng Yi prefers.
Xiaojia also prepared food according to the time Feng Yi usually woke up. When Feng Yi walked out of the room, breakfast was almost ready.
Seeing this, Xiao Ding brought out Feng Yi's breakfast.
He is not as good as Xiaojia at cooking, and he doesn't have the advantage of showing up in front of the boss often. Since he is here, Xiaoding must be more proactive.
Finish your breakfast quietly and efficiently.
Xiao Ding took the rock Feng Yi gave him and headed for Yangcheng. Doctor Xiao Wu had already sent him several private messages urging him to do so.
Feng Yi changed into sports casual clothes, put on a hat and glasses, and went out for a walk nearby.
I haven't been back for a while, and there have been a lot of changes around here.
Feng Yi saw a particularly conspicuous sign at the side door of the community, announcing that the community had been selected as a biodiversity case in an urban park.
The surrounding supporting facilities are completely different from what they were a year ago.
The little swans came here to spend the winter, bringing many changes.
Some areas have been demarcated near Yue Mountain, and which areas are protected areas and which are public recreation areas are clearly marked and signboards have been erected.
Some new ecological construction plans are still underway, and the management of nearby communities is becoming more standardized.
Last year, there were still children secretly looking for wild bird eggs and old turtles by the river. This year, it is absolutely not allowed, and there are people patrolling the river section frequently.
I don’t know if it’s because it has been managed again, but the water quality of the river next to the community is better than last year.
As for the river, after Feng Yi dragged up a large catfish last year, the Joint Security Bureau and local relevant departments conducted several searches in various river sections. By May of this year, several invasive catfish of varying sizes had been discovered.
The residents around here all agree with this approach. After all, even if they don’t have environmental awareness, they still have a sense of crisis. Those who have children or pets at home will worry that a big fish will suddenly rush out of the river.
Feng Yi strolled around for a while, then jogged along Yue Mountain to see the changes in the area and digest his food.
The weather was nice and there were many people going out to relax and have fun, but Feng Yi was not conspicuous among them.
He returned near noon, had lunch at home, and then went out to meet some friends.
I didn’t drive, I just swiped a shared bike and rode out.
I'm not in a hurry and have no other tasks to do. I just want to take a good look at the changes in this city during the six months I've been away.
The road from the suburbs to the city center is quite long, but Feng Yi doesn't feel tired.
To be honest, as long as you are full, this amount of exercise is not a burden at all.
In Yongcheng, in addition to the small villa on the outskirts of the city, Feng Yi also has an elevator apartment in the inner ring of the city.
This was the first house of his own that he bought with the money he earned during college.
Although I no longer live there, I don’t plan to sell it.
Ride your bike outside the community and park it in the designated area.
Feng Yi didn't rush into the community. Instead, he looked at the Jixiang Tea Garden outside the community, pressed down the brim of his hat, pushed open the glass door of the shop and walked in.
Compared with last year, there is a special area for takeout in the store.
The young shop owner Wu Ji was helping to pack the goods, glancing towards the door from time to time.
Seeing Feng Yi coming in, Wu Ji's face lit up with joy, but he quickly suppressed it and gave Feng Yi a wink.
After quickly packing up the takeaway in his hand, Wu Ji said to the employee at the takeaway window, "I have to leave for a while because of something," then walked aside and led Feng Yi to a private room inside.
Without other people around, talking becomes very casual.
Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, we still keep in touch online.
"Sit down and have some snacks. These on the table were baked today."
Wu Ji opened an elegant bamboo basket on the table, brought out several plates of snacks that he had prepared in advance, then picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Feng Yi.
"Business is good." Feng Yi saw the delivery riders coming and going outside the store just now, and he knew that Wu Ji's business was very good.
Wu Ji laughed and said, "I have to thank you for this. Otherwise, with so many similar stores around, I wouldn't be able to attract so many customers even if I managed it well."
After Feng Yi became popular online, the number of people coming to the store increased dramatically.
It's not that Wu Ji took the initiative to promote it, but some owners in the community had an impression of Feng Yi's appearance. They recognized him after Feng Yi became popular on the Internet, and soon this information was dug up on the Internet.
Many people who visited the store asked Wu Ji about Feng Yi, but Wu Ji didn't reveal anything. Besides, he didn't really know much about Feng Yi, especially after Feng Yi went to Yangcheng, he knew even less.
Later, everyone who visited the store knew that Feng Yi lived in Yangcheng and basically didn't live here, so gradually no one paid attention to his address in Yongcheng. However, Wu Ji's store did become a little popular, and he seized the opportunity and paid attention to the quality of the products and marketing.
Feng Yi took out two cans of tea from his backpack: "This is a gift from my elder. He made the tea himself. I brought two boxes for you and Qian Feiyang."
Uncle Ya gave Feng Yi a lot of tea this year, but he doesn't drink much. The housekeeper drinks it, but not much.
Different from the tea that Feng Yi drank for the first time, this time Uncle Ya gave him a packaged one, which was obviously made in batches. Each can was not big, and it was packaged in a nice-looking box.
Feng Yi left some for Xiaojia and the others. This time, he called Xiaoding to Yongcheng and asked him to bring a few boxes to give away.
Wu Ji quickly took the tea leaves and said, "I've been craving this for a long time, but it's a pity that your elder doesn't sell it to you."
After carefully putting the tea can away, Wu Ji's gaze lingered on Feng Yi's face for a moment, and he said unwillingly, "It's just like what they say on the Internet. You can stay in the mountains for many days without getting dark!"
Judging from appearance alone, Feng Yi has not changed much since he left Yongcheng last year, but the feeling he gives to Wu Ji is different.
He couldn't tell what was different, he just felt that Feng Yi in front of him was still the same person, but different from before.
Maybe it’s because we haven’t seen each other for half a year, so we have become strangers
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Wu Ji chatted with Feng Yi about recent developments and once again complained about the rats in the neighborhood.
"They come to harass us from time to time. The community organized another rat extermination two days ago, and it's finally a little quieter. My parents are worried, so they signed up for a tour group to go out and play. If it weren't for the store's business that kept them busy and couldn't leave it all to the employees, I would also like to go out and play with them!"
Feng Yi asked: "Is it always like this?"
Wu Ji shook his head. "Not always. After several large-scale rat exterminations last year, things got much better. But this year they are on the rise again. I guess we'll have to do several more large-scale rat exterminations."
Thinking of Feng Yi's current occupation, Wu Ji laughed again and said, "There are many rats, and there have been people who eat rats. A snake was even found in one neighborhood. We asked the firefighters to catch it, and they said it was a non-venomous snake. But it also made people in nearby neighborhoods nervous. When they took a walk at night, they would get scared when they saw the hemp rope on the ground. Not everyone has your courage."
When talking about snakes now, Wu Ji can still clearly remember the time when Feng Yi caught a big poisonous snake.
After Feng Yi left Yongcheng, Wu Ji and his friends did not dare to go fishing in areas with thick grass. If they encountered poisonous snakes again, there was no expert who could catch them.
"Not just snakes. In our community, on a street near the park, a shop owner bought a large mousetrap. A few days later, he found a weasel trapped in the cage, so he quickly let it go to eat more mice. Some people have even seen wild cats chasing weasels in the park!"
"There are wild cats again?" Feng Yi said.
"There have always been some. Some people throw away their cats after raising them for a while, and the community has to deal with it several times every year." Wu Ji said, and then he remembered something and asked, "Did you live in the villa over in Yueshan when you were in Yongcheng? Do you still live in the apartment with an elevator here?"
"No. Why?" Feng Yi asked.
"Do you need help cleaning the house? An owner in our community said that when he came back from being away for a while, he found a nest of rats in his house, and he was so angry that he asked someone to do the disinfection. If you don't live in the house for a long time, you still need someone to check it from time to time. Even if there are no rats, if there is a water leak or other problems, they can be solved as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll go check it out later."
Feng Yi is not worried about rats. The doors and windows of his house are closed, which can prevent rats. But as Wu Ji said, even without rats, other unpredictable problems may arise, so it would be better to have someone check it out every once in a while.
After chatting for a while, the store employee came to see Wu Ji for something.
"You go ahead and do your work first. I'll go into the community and take a look before going to look for Qian Feiyang," Feng Yi said.
"I'll just have to work through the afternoon peak. See you later." Wu Ji stood up.
"good."
Feng Yi made an appointment with Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang for dinner in the evening.
"Wait a minute!"
Wu Ji called Feng Yi, left for a moment and came back in with a cardboard box in his hand.
The store specially customizes paper boxes with handles, which have the logo and store name printed on them and are used specifically for packaging.
"Afternoon tea snacks, take them and eat with Qian Feiyang." Wu Ji looked at the takeaway riders and customers inside and outside the store, and waved to Feng Yi, "Go through the back door."
The employees in the store were busy and didn't pay much attention when they saw the boss taking someone to the back door of the store. Normally, if there were many people in the store, the boss would also take his relatives and friends to the back door.
However, after everyone left, a thought flashed through one of the shop assistants' minds, and he recalled the figure he had just seen... Could it be
Feng Yi had already entered the community carrying snacks and went to take a look at his own apartment first.
It has a smell because it has not been lived in for a long time.
Open the windows and draw the screens to allow ventilation and keep out rats and insects.
When you leave, come back and close the windows to prevent the weather from changing and rain from rushing into the house.
After checking around, there was no major problem and no signs of rats breaking in. Feng Yi carried the bag and went to another friend's house in the community.
Having contacted in advance, Feng Yi rang the doorbell twice and Qian Feiyang came to open the door.
Feng Yi handed over the bag in his hand, "Wu Ji gave it to me."
Qian Feiyang took the bag and pointed to a pair of slippers at the entrance. "New, no one has worn them, just unpacked."
Feng Yi was changing his slippers at the entrance. When he turned around, he saw a long, narrow creature crawling towards him quickly and zigzagly, making a "swish" sound from not far away.
When it reached Feng Yi's feet, it turned around and continued to crawl to the other side, finally stopping in the corner.
Feng Yi looked at the thing in the corner, then turned to look at Qian Feiyang and gave him a puzzled look.
Qian Feiyang glanced at Feng Yi, who remained calm, but could not see any sign of fear on his face.
"You are indeed an expert snake charmer. Fake snakes just can't scare you." Qian Feiyang gave a thumbs up.
Feng Yi smiled and didn't explain.
Real snake or fake snake, the smell is completely different, how can you not tell them apart.
If there really were a snake here, he would have smelled it long ago.
Qian Feiyang explained: "An employee of my studio bought a toy snake with intelligent sensor and obstacle avoidance some time ago to scare people, but it later became a cat toy. There were originally two, one for a coral reef snake and one for a cobra. The cobra was broken by the cat, and the cat threw it into a hemiplegia, so the coral reef snake was the only one left."
The cat refers to a yellow civet cat that Qian Feiyang raised here. He adopted it when the community was dealing with stray cats. Its name is "Bajiao".
The cat was squatting under a stool not far away, looking at this side.
Feng Yi walked over and picked up the electric snake.
It's well made. Although it looks fake at first glance, it moves quite flexibly.
There is a protrusion on the head of the electric snake, which is a sensing device.
After looking at the yellow civet cat that was staring at this side curiously not far away, Feng Yi put the electric snake back to the ground.
The electric snake crawled towards the cat with a "swish" sound.
The cat rushed over excitedly, jumping left and right like a monkey, and then hooked the cat to throw it down.
Bang!
Qian Feiyang heard the sound and hurried over to pick up the electric snake and took a look. "Fortunately, it can still hold on for a while."
I put the electric snake in a cabinet and stopped the cat from playing with it. It was too noisy.
He just wanted to scare Feng Yi.
As expected, no effect.
Feng Yi walked into the house and looked around.
The indoor layout has changed a lot, and there are a few more workstations, but there is no one else there at the moment.
"Where are the employees in your studio?" Feng Yi asked.
"We just finished a big order, so we gave them a holiday." Qian Feiyang said.
Holidays are arranged flexibly. We have indeed just completed a big order, but we also have quite a few small orders on hand. If the holidays are arranged flexibly, there will always be employees in the studio. However, today because of the appointment with Feng Yi, Qian Feiyang specially gave everyone in the studio a day off, saying only that he had other things to do today and asked everyone not to come to the studio.
Feng Yi sat on the sofa in the living room.
The cat that couldn't find its toy walked over slowly, sniffed left and right, jumped onto the sofa, and lay down next to Feng Yi.
Seeing this, Qian Feiyang was surprised: "After not seeing you for several months, it doesn't repel you as much as before!"
In the past, this cat would show a strong rejection reaction when seeing Feng Yi, but today it is so harmonious. Strange!
Qian Feiyang wondered, "Could it be that he has met so many people and is close to them that he is no longer afraid?"
Feng Yi: “Maybe.”
It's impossible.
The reason why the cat does not reject him now is that after Feng Yi restrained his breath, all information with his own smell was shut down, and the only things he breathed were nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases, without other odor molecules with personal characteristics.
There is only the smell of the surrounding environment attached to the clothes.
To put it simply, Feng Yi is not human enough now.
Without the unique odor information of living organisms, animals cannot distinguish between humans and animals and cannot determine what kind of creatures they are, so their cognition is disturbed.
That's the moment.
In the eyes of this cat, Feng Yi might be judged as a human-shaped cat climbing frame that was neither familiar nor unfamiliar to it.
"Animal perception is very interesting," said Feng Yi.
Qian Feiyang couldn't understand the deeper meaning of Feng Yi's words. He just thought he was praising his cat's keen perception, so he smiled and agreed:
"Yes, they are very sensitive. They can detect even the smallest differences. They can detect things that cannot be seen by the naked eye!"
Feng Yi: “For example?”
Qian Feiyang: "For example, its little paw pads. Through a thick layer of cat litter, it can feel whether there is shit underneath!"
Feng Yi: “…”
I don’t really want to discuss this kind of perception.
Turning his sight, Feng Yi saw a small felt object in a transparent box on the table.
"Made of cat hair?" Feng Yi smelled cat.
Qian Feiyang said: "Well, it was made by an employee of the studio, using combed cat hair. Now he is still collecting cat hair, and he said he would make a bigger one next time."
As he spoke, Qian Feiyang handed over a plate of potato chips.
A ceramic round plate with a kitten pattern and potato chips neatly arranged inside.
Qian Feiyang asked, "Want to eat something?"
Feng Yi didn't reach out his hand, but just looked quietly at the potato chips on the plate.
“Mustard?”
"You know all this?! I opened the package on purpose!" Qian Feiyang looked surprised.
"I have a sensitive nose."
"That's right, I almost forgot you have a strong sense of smell. Want to try?"
Feng Yi hesitated for a moment, but still picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
The next moment, the expression on Feng Yi's face almost cracked.
Qian Feiyang: "What does it feel like?"
Feng Yi: "It feels like... one breath of true energy flows backwards, and two breaths of soul ascend to heaven!"
Qian Feiyang was delighted: "Hahaha! I like this! It wakes me up! It's strong enough!"
Then he took out a bottle of sparkling water and said, "Drink this?"
Feng Yi said: "I'll just drink tea."
Qian Feiyang: "Okay, make whatever you want to drink. Freeze-dried juice cubes, concentrated coffee liquid, they are all there."
As he said this, he took out a glass, poured sparkling water into it, and added some ice cubes.
Just as he was about to chat with Feng Yi, the phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and said to Feng Yi apologetically, "The client has something urgent. I'll go deal with it. It may take half an hour."
"Go ahead. I just wanted to take a break. I rode my bike here."
"You're awesome! Then do as you please, take whatever you want to eat, and you can use the game console next to you," said Qian Feiyang.
Feng Yi waved his hand and told him to get back to work.
After Qian Feiyang left, Feng Yi leaned against the sofa, holding his mobile phone and was about to check it for a while. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the cat jump onto the table.
The cat looked at the bubbles that kept appearing in Qian Feiyang's glass, tilted its head to stare at the bubbles and ice cubes inside, and stretched out a front paw to touch it.
It raised its wet paw, licked it, and then shook it hard with a look of disgust, as if someone who didn't like coriander had eaten it, squinting his eyes and sticking out his tongue.
After walking two steps to the side, the cat felt uncomfortable with its wet paws, so it raised them and continued to shake them.
Tiny drops of water flew from the cat's paws all around.
Feng Yi, who was sitting next to it, quickly pulled out the tissue next to him to block it when it swung its claws for the first time.
Only after the cat went to the other side and licked its paws did Feng Yi raise the alarm and throw the tissue into the trash can.
I looked at the water stains on the table and was about to help wipe them, but then stopped.
Forget it, I’ll let Qian Feiyang take a look at the evidence later before wiping it.
Continue to browse your phone.
Fengchi’s variety show has been broadcast on the online platform, and I just received a reminder message from Fengchi.
I directly clicked on the link sent by Fengchi and jumped to the broadcast page of the video platform.
After looking at the length, Feng Yi directly moved the progress bar and chose to watch the part where Feng Chi appeared first.
Feng Chi was indeed very relaxed in front of the camera, and his flamboyance was suppressed a lot. He knew when to hold back.
The transforming car he lent to Feng Chi also appeared, and the effects in the show were all within Feng Yi's expectations.
Pulling the progress bar, he wanted to see Feng Chi's talent show.
When asked before, Feng Chi just said that he was dancing, but he wouldn't tell me what kind of dance he was dancing.
As a newbie in the entertainment industry, Feng Chi doesn’t have any representative works and is not well known, so newcomers pay great attention to talent.
For example, those who sing and dance may have practiced countless times behind the scenes just for those few short minutes in front of the camera.
Sure enough, the other people participating in the show, whether the singer or the new dancers, are all very talented. In this regard, Feng Chi will definitely not be able to compare with them in the short term.
It's Fengchi's turn.
A guest asked Feng Chi: "What kind of talent show have you prepared for everyone?"
Feng Chi was confident and not panicking at all: "I am performing my specialty! The show I am bringing to you today is called "The Most Handsome Guy Under the Night Sky"!"
The recording was made at night in an amusement park area.
The lights around dimmed.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the background.
Swish!
A gold-plated ribbon dragon, with red flashing light effects, made a coquettish appearance.
Spin! Jump!
Flying dragon in the sky!
Feng Chi danced with great passion and energy.
The entire screen was filled with light dancing like a spirit snake, which was extremely eye-catching in the dim environment.
Feng Yi: “…”
