Manchu civil and military only I am O

The aggressive smell of red wine enveloped him domineeringly.

Chu Jing lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.He was stained crimson from behind his ears to his neck, maybe he didn't find the right position, and Douglas moved closer to his neck.There was a hot feeling near the earlobe, and his legs were so weak that he was about to lose his balance.

Want to push the speaker away.

But it seems impolite...

After all, he found the restraining ring for himself, and now he simply wants to help him put it on.

Chu Jing was worrying about his oversensitive earlobes, when suddenly, the slightly protruding place on the back of his neck was brushed by a cool touch.

There seemed to be a weak electric current passing through the whole body, making it numb.

"I, I can do it myself!" Chu Jing was so stimulated that his words trembled, and his right hand climbed onto Douglas' arm, trying to interrupt his movements.

There was a sound of "click".

"It's fastened," Douglas said with a smile, stepping back.

Both attitude and action are decent and elegant, as if what happened just now was normal.

"Thank you, thank you."

"Won't Your Majesty choose a cat?" Douglas pointed to the cats on the ground and the cats who were trying to come out through the sliding door in the cage. "They all like you."

Chu Jing hadn't recovered yet, Yanda shook his head, and he was weak when he spoke: "Today I just came to see, I haven't made a decision yet."

Of course, he can't raise a cat. After completing all the tasks released by the system, he wants to make a wish to go back, so he will try to minimize the emotional connection with this world, otherwise he will be very sad when he goes back.

"Don't you have a favorite cat breed?"

As soon as the speaker's voice fell, Chu Jing received a new task released by the system: "Trigger the second branch task of the speaker's main line [understand the speaker's past, find the root of anorexia], reward 5 points for successful task."

"Persian cat." Chu Jing thought of the cat raised by the queen, with snow-white long hair and round and bright mandarin duck eyes, but the queen never let others touch that cat.

"Does the Speaker have a favorite cat?"

"Yes." As if he didn't expect him to ask this question, the speaker paused for a moment, probably recalling his own cat, with a gentle look on his face, "It's a very... bold puppet cat."

"Bold?" Chu Jing was puzzled by Douglas' words. He had seen a puppet cat just now, and the introduction on the sign next to it was "Docile and Quiet".

It also looks limp.

But boldness has basically been linked with being lively and active.

"Yes, very bold, not obedient at all. Your Majesty should know that I grew up in a slum when I was a child?"

Douglas suddenly changed the subject.

It was true that Chu Jing was not clear, but the thought of asking was a bit embarrassing, so he nodded as if he knew.

"I picked up that cat when I was still in the slums."

The speaker's slow-voiced narration seemed to bring him back to the dirty and chaotic slum 19 years ago.

"Meow--"

Little Douglas, who was only 8 years old, got a piece of bread from the kind grandmother Maria, which is likely to be his only food tonight and tomorrow morning.He was planning to go back to that dilapidated home, Lu

When passing through the deep alley, I heard a shrill cat meowing.

Originally, he didn't want to care about it. If his mother lost control when he returned home late, he would probably be beaten and scolded.

But he heard Robin's laugh, sharp and piercing, and he couldn't be mistaken, it must be the bastard who smashed his house down yesterday.

So he turned around and walked into the deep alley.

It was approaching dusk, and the lighting in the alley itself was not good. With the dim light, he could only see Robin and two familiar boys forming a circle, kicking a black mass in the corner.

He heard a few more meows from the black mass.

But this cat is not important to him at all, and he doesn't have overwhelming sympathy, he just came in to teach that bastard Robin a lesson.

He walked quietly, so Robin and his two little brothers didn't notice him at all.

When he got closer, he rushed forward with a stride, held down Robin's head and slammed it against the wall, with such force that he seemed to put him to death.

Robin didn't even have time to see clearly, a hole was cut on his forehead, bleeding out gurglingly.The hand grabbed his neck again, making him unable to even resist.

"Who!" Robin's eyes were covered with blood, and he couldn't see clearly, so he could only yell hoarsely, calling out to the other two people who hadn't reacted, "Are you two stupid?! But come and help me!"

The two men reacted and waved their fists to beat him.

He kicked Robin down first, broke the hand of one of them and threw him on the other one who wanted to attack.

In the dark alley, in addition to the wailing, there was also the tooth-piercing sound of punching to the flesh.

He didn't intend to beat anyone to death, he just wanted to teach these three bastards a sufficient lesson so that they wouldn't dare to provoke him again.When the three were lying on the ground pretending to be dead and begging for mercy, he simply lifted his feet and left the scene.

After walking out of the alley, he realized that the cat followed him out.

He was kicked and beaten so that his body was covered in dust from shoe prints, and a few strands of hair were stained with blood and sticky together. When he came out with him, he staggered. It was a dirty cat.

Only those black eyes are as clear as washed by water.

For some unknown reason, little Douglas was touched in his heart, and took out the piece of bread in his pocket out of nowhere.

"Do you want it?" He knelt down.

The cat's eyes became brighter, and it grabbed the bread in his hand and devoured it.

It was quickly over.

Seeing his hands itching, he couldn't help reaching out to touch the cat.

Who knew that the cat turned its face directly, and pawed at the back of his hand like lightning.

He was so angry that he wanted to pinch

it.

An ungrateful bastard who wasted his piece of bread.

As a result, before he could make a move, the cat carefully licked the wound for him, watching his face while licking, the eyes like water grapes seemed to be overflowing with tears.

Also blame the poor.

Anyway, he ate the bread, and for its poor sake, he decided not to bother with the beast.

He left the cat alone and walked home by himself.

Probably because the leg was injured and he couldn't walk fast, the cat followed him for a while and then stopped following him

The.

It just so happened that he had no intention of keeping a cat, he couldn't even support himself.

As a result, I saw the cat again the next day, in the same deep alley, and in the same three bastards.

Oh, now it's four.

He looked at the little bastard who came out of the alley after him again, as if taking the wailing in the deep alley as the background sound and walking flickeringly.

"Want to follow me?" He and the cat looked at each other without any emotion in their eyes.

Probably in response, the bastard rolled over and fell at his feet, revealing its still soft white fur belly.

So he took the cat to the nearest river to wash it. Although the river was dumped with garbage and the water was not clean, the cat looked better after washing than when it was unwashed.

Black cats become white cats.

Only then did he realize that the breed of this cat should be a puppet cat only raised by wealthy families.

He once heard a crazy mother say that her disgusting lover gave her a puppet cat when he was young, and she said this in a state of obsession, probably still dreaming of her wealthy wife .

How ironic, in the end she went crazy and the stuffed animal died.

For the next three months, he secretly hid the cat in the attic, and occasionally took it with him when he went out, and shared half of the food with him. Of course, these actions were done away from his mother.

On the night of being together for 100 days, my mother had an attack of illness and became extremely mad.

He couldn't control him. After all, he was a child, and he still couldn't take advantage of a crazy adult.

What's more, it was his mother, his last relative.She was especially kind to him when she was not sick, and that kind of tenderness made him greedy.

How can I do it?

As a result, the cat ran out, biting the mother's trouser leg and pulling it back, trying to protect him.

He was kicked against the wall by his mother.

He hurriedly threw the cat out of the door for fear that his mother would accidentally hurt it.

As long as he was beaten and scolded, it scratched the door for as long as it did.

Since the cat was discovered, he dared not keep it at home, for fear that his mother would be more stimulated by seeing the puppet cat and beat it.

"What happened later?" Chu Jing couldn't help asking when he heard him suddenly stop talking.

Douglas stared at the red circle at the end of Chu Jing's eyes, and smiled: "Later, I ate it."

The day after the cat was hidden in the haystack in Grandma Maria's courtyard, it was rare for their family to eat meat that night.

She said it was pork from Grandma Maria.

He tasted it and found that the taste was wrong, the meat was sour.

I saw his mother showing a distorted and joyful smile: "This cat smells good, right? I waited for you to come back to warm it."

"I regret it." Douglas said to Chu Jing, his eyes were dark, and his emotions did not show any ups and downs on the surface, "I shouldn't have taken it back in the first place."

"I'm sorry." Chu Jing didn't expect such a sad story. Although the system prompts that the mission has been successful, he regrets asking about it now.

It's hard to imagine, in such a slum, with a dark past that almost hits people so hard that they have no strength to get up, how the speaker got to his current position.

"Let me give you a hug?" Douglas smiled palely,

He was no longer at all like the elegant and mature man who seemed to have a plan for everything.

Chu Jing took the initiative to hug him, buried in the rich smell of red wine in his chest, and patted Douglas on the back comfortingly.

He didn't notice the slight "click" sound at the door at all, and he couldn't see the provocative smile that Douglas quietly evoked.

However, the system suddenly sounded an alarm: "Urgent reminder! Urgent reminder! There is a bug in the Points Mall, [Cat Card] has been purchased automatically, and will transform into a cat form in 30 seconds! Please pay attention to the host!"
