When Li Zhenruo appeared in front of Xia Hongshen with the cat in his arms, it was no surprise that he had a cold face.
Xia Hongshen sat in front of the computer desk and asked him, "Do you think this is an animal shelter?"
Erhuang excitedly circled around Li Zhenruo, rubbing his head against his legs.
Li Zhenruo looked down at the cat in his arms, and said to Xia Hongshen, "The owner of this kitten is a lunatic. Look at the wounds on its body, it was injured by its owner with a knife."
Xia Hongshen slapped the table vigorously when he heard the words, and said sharply, "Who is it?"
Xi Anling next to him was startled by him and stood up.
Song Jun patted Xia Hongshen on the shoulder, "Brother, calm down."
Li Zhenruo said: "So I brought it back and wanted to find a good owner for it."
Xia Hongshen looked at him and nodded, "Since that's the case, forget it, and don't bother with you this time."
Li Zhenruo wiped off his cold sweat, "Thank you, Master."
Long Xing said at this time: "I have a female colleague who just wants to raise a kitten, why don't I ask her if she wants it?"
Li Zhenruo immediately asked, "Is it reliable?"
Long Xing thought for a while, "It should be reliable, a female colleague with a very gentle personality."
Li Zhenruo then nodded, "Then please help me to ask, thank you."
It was late at night and everyone went back to their respective rooms. Li Zhenruo was sitting alone in the corridor against the wall, and the kitten next to him was eating the cat food in the bowl with his head buried.
Li Zhenruo reached out to touch its back, then raised his head against the wall in a daze.
After a while, someone walked up to him and sat down. Li Zhenruo turned around and saw Song Jun.
Song Jun asked him, "Why don't you go to rest?"
Li Zhenruo was a little dazed, and he said, "I don't know what to do."
Song Jun propped his face with one hand, "Why don't you know what to do?"
Li Zhenruo said: "I used to rely too much on that person, but now that I leave him, I feel powerless. It's not so easy to change my shape at will, and it's even more difficult to take revenge for myself because I don't have money."
Song Jun said: "Didn't you become Brother Xia's apprentice? Why don't you have any confidence in the future?"
Li Zhenruo sighed, "I have been trying to absorb spiritual energy outside for the past two days, but I found that the effect was minimal. The process was too slow. Even if I believe that I can do it one day, I am afraid that my enemy will not survive that time." one day."
Song Jun was silent for a while, and asked him: "Is revenge so important? More important than living a happy life?"
Li Zhenruo turned her head, looked at him and said, "Otherwise, why would God give me a chance to live again? I didn't have a mother since I was a child, and then I lost other relatives, I lost my future, I lost my home, and I lost everything. What's the point of living if you don't take revenge?"
Song Jun couldn't help but reached out and touched his head, and said, "What about your master, little Garfield?"
Li Zhenruo didn't have the strength to tell him not to call him Little Garfield, so he just took a deep breath and said, "He knows my identity, and I think he might not accept me anymore."
Song Jun was a little puzzled, and then asked, "Are you saying that you are the fourth son of Li Jianglin?"
Li Zhenruo nodded, "Yes."
Song Jun asked strangely: "He cares a lot?"
Li Zhenruo couldn't help raising his hand to cover his face, "He will definitely care."
Song Jun asked: "Have you tried to communicate with him?"
Li Zhenruo shook his head, "Forget it, maybe it's not necessary, I shouldn't waste any more time, the owner of this body has already appeared, I have to hurry up, if I can get revenge smoothly, I think I might as well take this body Give it back to him."
"Give it back to him?" Song Jun was surprised, "You think so?"
Li Zhenruo looked at him and forced a smile, "It's just that sometimes I have such an idea."
Song Jun stayed quietly for a while, then suddenly said, "How about we help you?"
"Huh?" Li Zhenruo looked at him in surprise.
Song Jun said: "Me, Xiaofeng and Long Xing, the three of us can help you. Whoever you want to find, what clues you want to track down, you can leave it to us."
"You can't help him," the two of them heard the voice from overhead at the same time, looked up and found that Xia Hongshen opened the door and poked his head out from the room, and said to them, "You interfere too much with human affairs. , points will be deducted by the Heavenly Court, and sooner or later, you guys will be recycled."
Li Zhenruo also quickly said: "I don't need your help, I can do my own things."
Song Jun felt a little regretful, and said: "Some simple things should still be possible. You don't have to think too much. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. No one can tell what will happen in the future."
Li Zhenruo nodded vigorously, "Well, thank you."
That night, he was still sleeping on the same bed with Feng Junyuan, and Erhuang was lying beside the bed, and there was an extra kitten in the room.
Li Zhenruo couldn't sleep, and lay motionless for fear of disturbing Feng Junyuan's rest.
Feng Junyuan suddenly said: "The house is so lively."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenruo turned over lightly and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
Feng Junyuan faced him face to face, and said, "It's okay, you are very cute." After speaking, he raised his hand and patted Li Zhenruo's head.
Li Zhenruo was a little depressed immediately, feeling that the whole family really regarded him as a cat. It's okay to be treated like a cat, he just couldn't accept this loving look, so he quickly closed his eyes.
The school is quiet and the weather has cooled down. Although it was a bit cramped to share the same bed with Feng Junyuan, but the environment was comfortable and he fell asleep without realizing it.
This sleep lasted until dawn, and when he was dazed in the morning, Li Zhenruo turned over and hugged the waist of the person next to him. He wanted to bury his face in that person's arms and continue sleeping, but felt that the touch didn't feel right.
Feng Junyuan hadn't woken up either, his forehead was pressed against Li Zhenruo's, and his hand was also taken over.
Breathing could be heard, Li Zhenruo felt that something was wrong, and opened his eyes in a daze, when suddenly he felt someone sitting down beside the bed. He suddenly remembered where he was, and was so frightened that he woke up instantly. He turned over and looked outside the bed with a huge arc of movement. Sure enough, he saw a tall man sitting by the bed.
Li Zhenruo pushed Feng Junyuan hard.
Feng Junyuan let out a "huh" and raised his head in a daze.
Only then did Li Zhenruo see clearly the appearance of the man sitting by the bed, and realized that it was Luo Fei.
Luo Fei was wearing a suit with an elegant posture. Seeing Li Zhenruo and Feng Junyuan looking at him, he even showed a gentle smile and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
Li Zhenruo froze for a moment, Luo Fei was obviously smiling, but he felt like being caught in bed. Also, he was the last one to return to the room last night. He clearly remembered that he locked the door behind him. How did Luo Fei come in so quietly? He has Feng Junyuan's room key
Looking at Luo Fei inexplicably, Li Zhenruo hesitated whether to get up or not. Although he didn't sleep naked, he was only wearing a pair of briefs underneath. When he touched Feng Junyuan's legs, he could still feel the smooth and delicate touch... He Looking down under the bed, the cat and the dog are still there, but they are all very quiet, just lying on the ground and looking at Luo Fei, no one barks.
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, "Xiaofeng, Garfield, are you up yet?"
Feng Junyuan rubbed his eyes and said "ah" hastily.
Luo Fei stood up and went to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw Long Xing standing outside.
Long Xing was quite surprised, "Boss Luo? When did you come here?"
Luo Fei smiled, "I came to see Xiaofeng, I planned to pick him up today to play."
With an "oh", Long Xing walked in and said to Li Zhenruo, "I took the cat away."
Li Zhenruo was stunned, "So fast?"
Long Xing also hesitated for a moment, and said: "Why don't you keep it for another two days? I sent a photo to my colleague, and she said she wanted it."
Li Zhenruo's original purpose was to find a good owner for the kitten. This opportunity was rare, so of course he didn't want to miss it, but he felt somewhat reluctant.
Although it was a kitten I met only yesterday, but I saved it, so I always felt that I was more responsible for it.
Li Zhenruo lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Although he was only wearing a pair of underwear, there were all men here anyway, so he saw it when he saw it. He went to the chair next to him to get his pants.
Erhuang and Kitty all surrounded him and spun around his legs, making him feel very welcome.
Hastily grabbed the pants and put them on, Li Zhenruo knelt down and picked up the kitten, kissed its forehead, and said, "I hope the new owner can take good care of you, and you must live happily."
The kitten didn't know if it understood or not, but it just poked its head out of his arms, and its lips touched his lips lightly, as if it was kissing.
Li Zhenruo sighed and handed the cat to Long Xing.
The kitten didn't know what happened, and was a little flustered, trying to grab Li Zhenruo's arm with one paw, but failed in the end.
Long Xing hugged it to comfort him, and then said to Li Zhenruo: "Don't worry, my colleague is very nice."
Li Zhenruo nodded, "Thank you."
The sudden parting made people a little sad, Li Zhenruo stood by the door and watched Long Xing take the kitten away, until they disappeared around the corner of the stairs, and then sighed sullenly.
When he turned around and came back, Li Zhenruo saw Luo Fei sitting by the bed, took a coat and put it on Feng Junyuan, and said, "Today's rest?"
Feng Junyuan asked him: "How do you know?"
Li Zhenruo suddenly felt like a light bulb, hesitating whether to go in or not.
At this time, Luo Fei suddenly turned to look at him, "Little cat."
Li Zhenruo immediately wanted to blow his hair, but he was so big standing there, but he wanted to call him a cat. Suppressing his displeasure, Li Zhenruo said, "I have a name."
Luo Fei said: "Name? By the way, your name is Li Tuanzi, right? Li Zhenran told me."
Hearing Li Zhenran's name suddenly, Li Zhenruo couldn't help being slightly startled, then calmed down and said, "Whatever, you can call me Garfield..."
Luo Fei smiled and asked, "Are you free today? Let's go out together."
Before Li Zhenruo asked where he was going, Xia Hongshen poked his head in and asked, "Where are you going?"
Luo Fei was still sitting by the bed, put one hand on Feng Junyuan's, and said, "It's rare for Xiaofeng to rest, I plan to invite you out to dinner, how about it?"
"Dinner?" Xia Hongshen was not particularly happy, he just said, "Long Xing is at work today, and An Ling has a date."
Luo Fei said: "That can't be helped. If you and Song Jun are free, we can go together, plus little Garfield."
Li Zhenruo heard the words and said quickly: "I have something to do, you go."
He planned to try to find Zhu Kai while he was free today. After all, they grew up together. Although Zhu Kai's plan makes him feel confused now, it is not too difficult to try to find Zhu Kai's trace. As long as he does not leave the city, He felt that he would have a way to find out Zhu Kai's whereabouts.
Of course, it's a pity that he has no money now, otherwise it should be more convenient to do things.
However, Xia Hongshen suddenly put his hand on top of Li Zhenruo's head at this moment, and said, "Disciple."
Li Zhenruo was taken aback, raised his head and responded, "Master?"
Xia Hongshen said, "Go."
Li Zhenruo was in a trance, and understood, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Xia Hongshen let out a "hmm".
The master has an order, how dare the disciple refuse to obey, although Li Zhenruo felt a little baffled, but Xia Hongshen had already opened his mouth, so he couldn't refuse anymore, so he could only say: "That's fine."
Before leaving, Xia Hongshen asked Luo Fei in a low voice, "What are you coaxing my apprentice out for?"
Luo Fei smiled, "It won't hurt him anyway, so you can rest assured."
When he was studying abroad in college, Li Zhenruo often drove out with a group of friends, dancing, drinking and meeting beautiful women. Now thinking about it, it seems like a lifetime away.
He sat in the last row, quietly looking out of the car window, his brain felt like it was being torn in two, one half was thinking about why Zhu Kai did such a thing, and the other half was thinking about Li Zhenran.
The city is as prosperous as before, but Li Zhenruo sometimes feels that this city no longer belongs to him. It seems that he is more suitable to be a cat, stay in a secluded and safe place, and live his own life alone.
Since when did this flamboyant world stop attracting him so much? He was obviously only twenty-three years old.
Song Jun and Feng Junyuan sat beside him, one on the left and the other on the right, Feng Junyuan reached out and touched his head, Song Jun asked him: "Are you in a bad mood?"
Li Zhenruo looked at the two of them and saw that they were all looking at him. He suddenly felt that he was actually the pet of this family. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Cultivate to become a fairy."
Feng Junyuan heard this, and said to him very seriously: "It's not easy."
Song Jun said: "It's still possible to be a little cat demon. You can live for a few more decades. During this period, you have been practicing. If you are lucky, you can live for another hundred or two hundred years. You can do a lot of things."
Li Zhenruo could only say: "Okay, thank you for comforting me."
Luo Fei, who was driving in the front row, glanced at them from the rearview mirror, smiled and said nothing.
Their destination is a newly built large commercial plaza on the outskirts of the city. There will be a Doraemon-themed exhibition here starting today. It is said that there are a lot of Doraemon.
Li Zhenruo is not very interested in this kind of children's things, but Xia Hongshen is very interested. Li Zhenruo thinks it may be because the theme of the exhibition is a blue fat cat.
Xia Hong was deeply interested, Song Jun and Feng Junyuan didn't seem to feel tired, they kept following him to look around, Luo Fei accompanied Feng Junyuan with a good temper, only Li Zhenruo walked behind casually.
Luo Fei suddenly turned his head and said to him: "If you are tired, go to Starbucks over there and wait."
Li Zhenruo quickly agreed, and walked towards Starbucks alone.
He stood at the counter, staring at the menu above for a while, and suddenly heard a voice next to him saying, "Give him a cup of mocha."
The voice was so familiar that Li Zhenruo almost had the urge to turn around and run.
The people around him obviously saw his intentions and asked, "Are you leaving? Do we never need to communicate with each other for the rest of our lives? Li Zhenruo."
Li Zhenruo held back and did not leave, turning to look at Li Zhenran.
Li Zhenran said to him: "I have found Zhu Kai."
Li Zhenruo asked in astonishment, "Where is he?"
Li Zhenran did not answer him, but turned to the direction of the counter and said, "I want a cup of mocha, thank you."
After paying the bill, Li Zhenran picked up two cups of coffee, turned to look at Li Zhenruo, "Do you want to finish this cup of coffee with me?"
Li Zhenruo finally nodded and followed him towards the corner.
This corner is quiet, just right for two people to sit and talk.
Face to face with Li Zhenran, Li Zhenruo didn't dare to raise his head, so he could only reach out to pick up the coffee cup, and took a sip, the bitter taste slid into his throat along with the mellow aroma.
Li Zhenran didn't touch his coffee, but leaned back slightly and asked, "You don't want to see me, is it because you're afraid of me or you don't want to see me again?"
Li Zhenruo didn't speak.
Li Zhenran folded his arms in front of his chest, "Fourth, you have been in the Li family for so long, do you think everyone is like a fool, being played around by you? Oh, no, I am the only one who is played around by you .”
Li Zhenruo shook his head, and finally said, "I didn't play tricks on you. I'm the only real fool. I'm dead and I don't know who killed me."
Li Zhenran said: "Is this the reason for you to deceive and use me?"
Li Zhenruo looked at him, a little unable to suppress his emotions, "Isn't this, you want to attribute our relationship to deception and use? We have been together for so long, and you can't even see my feelings?"
Li Zhenran's eyes fell on him, and at this moment, he said slowly: "It doesn't matter, you come back."
Li Zhenruo was taken aback when he heard that.
Li Zhenran's tone was calm and unwavering, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him, "It doesn't matter to me what kind of mentality you approached me in the first place, I just want you to come back."
Li Zhenruo stared at him blankly.
Li Zhenran said, "Tell me, why are you leaving?"
Li Zhenruo only felt that his thinking was a little confused, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, because Li Zhenran's reaction was really beyond his expectation, he said: "That woman that day..."
Li Zhenran asked him, "Which woman is that day?"
Li Zhenruo looked down at the slightly shaking coffee in the cup, "The woman who came back with you on your father's birthday."
Li Zhenran said: "That is the daughter of my father's old friend. I think you know the name. She happened to be flying over that day, and my father asked me to pick her up at the airport. She helped her father bring a gift for her father. After dinner that day, her son A friend came to pick her up and we went on a trip together. Are you ready? What else do you want to know?"
"I—" Li Zhenruo didn't know what to say for a moment, he just asked, "Why didn't you say anything at school that day?"
Li Zhenran said in a cold tone: "I'm angry, I'm jealous of you hugging a man, even if it might be a misunderstanding, I still can't calm down."
Li Zhenruo never expected Li Zhenran to say such words, his expression became a little dazed, and then he said in a panic: "But don't you already know? I am Li Zhenruo."
Li Zhenran fell silent, looked at Li Zhenruo without saying a word, and said after a while: "It's not the first day I know you are Li Zhenruo, I'm just waiting for you to confess to me."
Li Zhenruo put his hands on the table and clenched them tightly, his heart churned violently. On the one hand, he felt that he was sorry for Li Zhenran, but on the other hand, he also felt that Li Zhenran's attitude towards him was too cruel, which made him still unable to let go.
Li Zhenran suddenly stretched out his hand to cover the back of his hand, exerted some strength slightly, and said, "Now tell me, why are you leaving?"
Li Zhenruo said: "You left me at home for a month and ignored me, and brought a beautiful woman with you as soon as you came back."
Li Zhenran nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Yan Xiujie to bring you back, why are you running away again?"
Li Zhenruo looked at Li Zhenran this time and said, "Because you said, I am Li Zhenruo."
It's strange, he has always been so calm with Li Zhenran, but when he found out that the other party knew that he was Li Zhenruo, he couldn't help but start to shrink back.
Even if Li Zhenran showed that he didn't care, he still felt that there was no way for the two of them to cross this hurdle so easily.
Li Zhenran could clearly see that Li Zhenruo was in trouble, so he patted the back of his hand and said to him, "Come here."
Li Zhenruo raised his head and couldn't help but look around. Although there weren't too many people, it was a public place after all. The two of them were sitting on the single sofa, and when Li Zhenran called them over suddenly, he felt a little nervous. After hesitating for a while, Li Zhenruo shook his head, "Say what you have to say."
Li Zhenran withdrew his hand, leaned back on the back of the sofa chair, looked at him quietly for a long time, and said, "Is it because I can't accept that you are Li Zhenruo, or you can't accept it?"
Li Zhenruo was stunned for a moment.
Li Zhenran lowered his head and took out the cigarette case and lighter from his pocket. Holding it in his hand, he suddenly remembered that smoking is prohibited here, and put it back in his pocket. He said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to come back, I can do anything." .We pretend we don't know anything, you are that cat, I can help you with whoever you want to find out, or I can turn a blind eye. What do you think?"
Li Zhenruo took a deep breath to relieve the pain in his heart, and he asked Li Zhenran, "Why?"
His voice was a little soft, Li Zhenran didn't seem to hear clearly, leaned forward slightly, with his arms propped flat on the glass tabletop, and moved closer to Li Zhenruo, "What?"
Li Zhenruo repeated: "Why are you doing this to me?"
Li Zhenran looked at him without moving his gaze, and said in a calm voice, "Because I love you."
At that moment, Li Zhenruo felt as if he was drowning, his body was squeezed by the overwhelming water waves, all senses were deprived, and even breathing became difficult, he had to open his mouth to breathe rapidly Then, everything around became blurred, and the only clear thing in sight was Li Zhenran on the opposite side.
I love you, Li Zhenran said these three words so simply that Li Zhenruo shook his head in a daze, "You lied to me."
Li Zhenran laughed angrily, "I lied to you?" He glanced outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the coffee shop, then turned his gaze back to Li Zhenruo, "When did I ever lie to you since I was a child?"
Li Zhenruo couldn't help but think back, only to find that Li Zhenran hadn't lied to him, and the two of them had very little communication. But he couldn't help but want to deny it. He felt that he no longer knew what Li Zhenran was thinking, so he could only say, "You know, I'm Li Zhenruo."
Li Zhenran said: "Now you know that you are Li Zhenruo, you have slept with me so many times, why have you never thought that you are Li Zhenruo?"
Li Zhenruo didn't know how to answer. He put his elbows on the table and covered his face.
Li Zhenran said slowly: "Maybe it doesn't matter to you, you can sleep with anyone, but not to me, I only do it with people I like."
Li Zhenruo involuntarily clenched her fingers.
Li Zhenran stood up suddenly and said, "Sorry, go out for a cigarette, I hope you don't run away again."
Hearing this, Li Zhenruo touched the collar on his neck subconsciously. Maybe he never really wanted to run away. If he wanted to stay away from Li Zhenran, he should have taken off the collar from the very beginning.
After Li Zhenran finished speaking, he walked out of the coffee shop, walked around to the side of the road, and lit a cigarette for himself.
Li Zhenruo looked at his back and thought to himself that Li Zhenran was not addicted to cigarettes in the first place, the only possibility is that he smoked a lot during the days when he left and became addicted. Maybe it's not just these days, maybe it started from the days when he had a showdown with Li Zhenran, and then Li Zhenran went on a business trip.
Li Zhenran's back was still slender and straight, and occasionally he turned his head to reveal a firm and handsome profile, but Li Zhenruo noticed that he was frowning slightly, with a tired look on his face. But when facing Li Zhenruo, he never showed it.
Li Zhenruo buried his face in his hands, sat quietly for a few seconds and suddenly stood up and walked outside. He thought no matter what the reason was, since Li Zhenran cared about him, why did he keep giving in
He is already an adult, and many emotions can really be regarded as non-existent without deliberately avoiding or denying them.
He still doesn't know what will happen in the future, but at this moment, he feels that he really doesn't want to see Li Zhenran feel sad.
Li Zhenran wanted to turn around when he heard footsteps, but Li Zhenruo speeded up and rushed over to hug Li Zhenran from behind, pressing his face against his back, panting slightly.
"Li Zhenran," Li Zhenruo shouted in a muffled voice.
Li Zhenran was hit by him and took a small step forward before stabilizing his figure again. When he turned around, he couldn't see his face, so he could only respond, "Huh?"
Li Zhenruo said: "Before you leave, ask me how I feel about you."
Li Zhenran heard the words and asked, "Do you want to answer me now?"
Li Zhenruo said softly: "It's not my brother, and it's not my master. No, maybe it should be said that it's not just my master, but there are many complicated things."
Unlike Li Zhenran, he couldn't say the words "I love you" so plainly. What is love? Since he was a child, his father and brothers have never said love to him, and Li Zhenran was the first person to say this word to him. He always felt that love was too sacred a feeling, and he couldn't and shouldn't talk about it so easily, but he didn't want to tell Li Zhenran that he liked you. Because liking this kind of relationship is too common, he has liked too many people, Li Zhenran is obviously different from them.
There are many complicated things. He has been with Li Zhenran for so long, and he thinks that Li Zhenran should understand his feelings.
Li Zhenran reached out to hold Li Zhenruo's hands, and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you come back with me."
