it hurts.
This was the first thing Huo Zheng realized after waking up from a hangover.
Joint pain, muscle pain, headache—the pain swept over like a huge wave, and even caused him some inexplicable worry: Didn't he really drink too much and get hit by a car on the road
At the moment of thinking like this, Huo Zheng felt something cold and soft stepped on his face.
Then his chest constricted, and he was almost out of breath.
It was as if someone thought he wasn't uncomfortable enough and put a sack of rice on his chest.
This is murder
Or a new form of torture
His so-called mother had completely given up her reason and planned to torture her in order to achieve her goal
…
Countless grotesque thoughts slipped through Huo Zheng's alcohol-soaked brain, and he suddenly hit a smart one, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he forced himself to wake up.
Huo Zheng opened his eyes suddenly, and then met a pair of big round orange eyes.
The owner of the big eyes has a fat face, a round body, a pink nose, thick hair, fierce eyes, and a huge W faintly printed on his forehead, as if to show his majesty to the world.
"Meow... woo..."
Huo Zheng was ordered to "keep it in" since he was a child because his eyes were too fierce and sharp, otherwise he would easily scare others, but when the yellow-eyed king met Huo Zheng's gaze, he didn't look frightened at all. He opened his mouth and yawned, then unceremoniously stepped his two palms on Huo Zheng's face, and kneaded it like kneading dough.
Huo Zheng could even clearly feel that the other party stretched his paws intoxicatedly when he stepped on his face, and the tips of the curved nails popped out of the pink pads regularly—retracted—popped out—retracted—
Then he was wide awake.
"..."
Huo Zheng stretched out his hand slowly, grabbed the cat's two paws, and then forced the cat to remove the paws from his face.
His original intention was to settle the matter calmly and reasonably. But it is clear that there is a serious communication problem between them. The big orange cat squatting on Huo Zheng's chest was quite dissatisfied with the other party's unauthorized holding of its paws. It kicked heavily on his chest with its two hind feet, and jumped off him.
As if he had been hit in the chest by an elbow from a boxing coach, Huo Zheng's eyes went dark, and he almost lost his breath.
All kinds of hangover pains were also doubled because of his violent actions, especially in his stomach, it was like a needle ball rolling inside. In just an instant, Huo Zheng's forehead was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat, and his whole body became paler and whiter than snow.
"Ah, are you awake?"
Huo Zheng managed to regain his breath when he heard a hoarse and tired male voice.
He looked up, and a very strange man poked his head out from behind a door, frowning at him.
It was a man with no special features, probably older than Huo Zheng, wearing a set of loose home clothes, the corners of the eyes behind the lenses drooped a bit, revealing a soft expression.
Huo Zheng sat up with his arms propped up.
"you… "
Who are you? What do you want to do
Huo Zheng rubbed his forehead, and subconsciously wanted to speak, but the skin at his temple throbbed with pain, making him silent for a while, and his facial expression was slightly distorted.
Fortunately, the other party didn't need Huo Zheng to actually ask, and he took the initiative to answer: "You are also a resident of this building, right? Last night you were drunk and lay directly in front of my house."
The man's voice was quite nice, but it was a little hoarse, as if he was tired.
"... I can't get in touch with anyone else, so I have to drag you in first."
Hearing what happened last night, Huo Zheng frowned tightly.
"Thanks."
He said dryly, and then he wanted to take out his wallet from his pocket and express his thanks in cash.
However, at this moment, the excruciating pain from the hangover swept over again without any warning.
Huo Zheng's figure flickered, and he almost fell to the ground.
"careful!"
Then he was held firmly by someone.
"are you OK… "
The man's hand was very warm, and there were some rough calluses on the palm.
However, the sensation brought by others when they touched Huo Zheng made Huo Zheng's scalp tingle instantly, and his whole body trembled—
"Do not touch me-"
Huo Zheng slapped the opponent's hand away.
Well, the atmosphere instantly became stiff because of this, but Huo Zheng was already used to this state, so he didn't take it too seriously.
"I'm not used to humans touching me."
Huo Zheng endured the dizziness caused by the pain, then raised his head, and said coldly to the man in front of him.
"Um, sorry..."
The other party said hesitantly, and then, the moment he met Huo Zheng's gaze, he froze.
He obviously didn't know how to get along with someone like Huo Zheng...
But it's not his fault!
In fact, when most normal people saw Huo Zheng for the first time, they thought he was a fairy who came down to earth, but then they would find that this fairy had more thorns than a porcupine, and he couldn't get along with ordinary people at all.
And Huo Zheng has long been used to this state.
However, the man in front of him seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit.
After being glared at by Huo Zheng, his attitude softened even more.
"You look miserable, even after you've been drinking. Shall I get you some medicine...and cook you something hot?"
the man asked softly.
"Just give me some painkillers."
Huo Zheng said coldly.
He was not moved by the attitude of the other party. After all, although his character is bad, his face is good enough.
"Taking painkillers on an empty stomach will irritate your stomach. I'd better cook something for you first."
There was actually a touch of worry in the other party's words.
Huo Zheng was taken aback for a moment, feeling an uneasy feeling spreading in his heart.
He has never been afraid of sarcasm and hypocrisy, and taking advantage of each other - but he doesn't know how to deal with this kind of care and worry that has no interest relationship, even if it's just from passers-by.
"..."
He had no expression on his face, forced himself to be indifferent and glared at the other person, and finally met the man's gentle gaze and soothing smile.
"Just wait a moment, it will be soon."
The man said, his voice soft.
For some reason, Huo Zheng was a little... terrified.
But what Huo Zheng didn't know was that after He Yunzhou walked back to the kitchen, he actually felt as if he was floating on a cloud.
"Oh My God… "
He Yunzhou's face was pale and his mind was restless.
Originally, he only planned to open oatmeal for the man to cook milk oatmeal porridge, but when he realized it, he was already washing the white radish in his hand. Not only that, but during the washing, he almost wiped the white radish several times. The radish fell directly into the pool.
Wait, why am I washing daikon here
He Yunzhou seemed to be able to hear the voice in his body asking himself.
However, at this moment his mind was blank, unable to give any answers.
Last night, He Yunzhou took him home and made a temporary settlement just because the other person's fur looked a bit like it, but he never expected that the other person's real appearance would have such a big impact on him.
The man had dark green eyes.
Not long ago, Guaji, the cat-loving cat who was lying on He Yunzhou's trip to Cat Planet, also had the same pair of green eyes.
It was okay when he was unconscious and completely unconscious, but when the drunk man woke up, whether it was the dyed hair, the eyes, or the arrogant and defensive attitude—
They are all the same as Guaji!
Thinking of Gua Ji, He Yunzhou's eyes became hot, and he almost shed tears again.
Guaji is a cat adopted by He Yunzhou after graduating from university. When it was adopted, it was already a two or three-year-old adult cat, and it was a very unpleasant and unattractive cat.
At that time, people from the pet hospital told He Yunzhou that this cat was originally a breed cat. It is said that it was abandoned at first because of illness, then adopted, and then retired because of bad temper. , already a scrawny little monster covered in bruises—
[I can only be happy in about two days. This cat is sick all over, and his personality is too bad... It is impossible to keep it here forever.]
I vaguely remembered that what made He Yunzhou soften his heart and take the fierce little guy home was precisely what the nurse at the pet hospital said intentionally or unintentionally.
He Yunzhou actually didn't think that he could really keep it for too long. After all, the nurse reminded him at the time that the cat had a bad temper and would even go on a hunger strike. He might starve himself to death in a few days.
He Yunzhou didn't even give it a proper name, he casually named it Gua Ji, and raised it slowly... Who knew that he would accidentally raise that scrawny cat with a bad temper as his own heart and soul.
When Gua Ji passed away some time ago, it was directly equivalent to digging out the softest piece of flesh in He Yunzhou's heart, and the pain was so painful that he never recovered after so many days.
But now, there is a man who looks exactly like Gua Ji, who is sitting in the living room of his house waiting for him to feed.
He Yunzhou glanced at the phone subconsciously, becoming more and more confused.
At 9:30 in the morning... Usually when Guaji was still alive, it was also at this time that he would come to ask He Yunzhou for snacks in a reserved and arrogant manner.
"Woo..."
He Yunzhou sniffled and forced himself to calm down.
Yes, it must be because he misses Guaji so much that he deliriously sees another human being as a substitute for Guaji.
Thinking of this, He Yunzhou couldn't hold back, and looked from the kitchen to the living room...
