blame you for being so attractive

After putting Eve to sleep, Gabriel went out for a morning run, took a shower when he came back, boiled a cup of milk, grabbed two handfuls of cereal rings and sprinkled them in, then carried them into the study, and turned on the computer.

After logging into the social account, Gabriel took the initiative to send a message to the po owner "Duck'sMommy" who posted the pet adoption request last night, asking if the other party was online. After sending, he picked up a spoon and scooped up a large spoonful of softened grains Put the ring into your mouth and wait for the other party's response.

In less than a minute, the other party replied, and sent another photo of the cat just taken this morning. Gabriel clicked on the big picture, and looked at the little gray and black animal without any variegated color, and couldn't help but reveal his face. Smiled, and immediately typed: "It seems to have not woken up, lazy. So cute."

"Absolutely! If it weren't for the fact that I have a baby, my husband is overly cautious and stubborn, and I wouldn't be willing to send him away anyway!" "Duck'sMommy" complained to Gabriel without hesitation, Gabriel guessed that she should be a cheerful woman.

Gabriel bit his spoon and thought for a while, then made up his mind to help with the adoption. After typing, the other party responded quickly, and the two sides made an appointment to meet next to the fountain in the garden square.

After the chat, Gabriel went to the homepage of the po owner and flipped through it. There were all photos of this cat named "Duck". Gabriel clicked on a few photos. The one with eyes pretending to be asleep, and the one who knocked over the cat's food and looked displeased... Gabriel couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Could Duck be a difficult cat to take care of?

After coding for a morning, Gabriel stopped half an hour before the appointed time, packed up briefly, and took the bus to the garden square alone.

There are more tourists on weekends and the weather is hot, so the square opened a fountain, attracting many tourists to stop outside. Gabriel was holding a lemon-colored parasol and stood next to a family of three with a child. The little guy was amused by the changing water column, laughing and screaming, and his milky but very sonorous voice attracted the surroundings Many people's attention.

Gabriel thought it was interesting, so she stood there without changing places. Although there were a lot of tourists, her extremely tall figure and outstanding appearance could not be overwhelmed by the crowd.

Sure enough, within a short while, I heard a woman behind me talking to herself: "Grey sundress...a lemon yellow umbrella..." Then, the voice raised slightly, and said to Gabriel: "Excuseme?"

Hearing the sound, Gabriel removed the umbrella in his hand, and turned his head slowly.

The moment the two looked at each other, they both showed surprised expressions.

"...Oh, Gabriel?"

"...Angela?!"

Angela looked at the man behind her, a little at a loss.

Gabriel's eyes followed Angela's as he moved to her back and up, and when he saw the man's face clearly, he coughed twice in embarrassment. The Duck in Angela's arms let out a short cry. Gabriel looked over and saw that its pupils were narrowed under the strong light, and its gray-black coat looked like a gloomy little face, which made Gabriel's heart shudder.

"Long time no see, Gabriel, it seems that human beings are doing pretty well, they haven't been living on the streets, and their appearance hasn't changed much." Constantine's tone was full of sarcasm.

"...you...you look good too. You are together, and...you are going to have a baby soon. Congratulations." Gabriel's back was covered with sweat quickly, but he still kept his head upright. The attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing makes even himself admire himself.

"Yeah, this is a friend in need. Speaking of which, if it weren't for your stupid plan that got Angela involved and I saved her, we probably wouldn't be so happy now. So, we really should have a good time." Thank you for making our pair indirectly, right, Gabriel?" Constantine's handsome face was full of sarcasm, and the person seemed more domineering than ever.People who get God's favor are different, lol.

Gabriel lowered his head and scratched the bridge of his nose, his eyebrows flew up, ready to find an excuse to run away.

But Angela bumped Constantine's chest with her elbow, and gave him a look: "Can't you be more tolerant, no matter what you say, she is still a girl!"

Constantine rolled her eyes, focused on opening the umbrella, and stopped talking.

Angela lowered her head and stroked Duck's soft fluff, and said to Gabriel with a smile: "I'm a little tired holding it, can you hug it for me?"

"Oh..." Gabriel, who was ready to be chased away, didn't react for a moment, "You said... let me hold it?"

"Of course! If you don't get to know each other well, how will Duck obediently go home with you later?" Angela looked as if she had heard a super-retarded question.

"Oh! Oh Ohyes!" Gabriel nodded vigorously, hurriedly put away the umbrella and put it in his backpack, carefully took Duck from Angela's arms.

Cats are slow-heating animals. Gabriel thought that Duck would be very resistant to him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he got into her arms, he hugged her intimately, "meowed" softly, and then calmed down, pressing his little paws on her. In the crook of his arms, a face of comfort.

Gabriel raised his face in surprise, his round eyes were as bright as glass under the scorching sun.

"Look, it likes you." Angela smiled and patted Duck's head.

"It's a miracle!" Gabriel shook his head in disbelief, and the frustration he had just felt was gone.

"It's not a miracle, Gabriel. The cat is psychic, and there are still some qualities in you that ordinary people don't attract that make it feel peaceful." Constantine said at this time.

After hearing this, Gabriel raised his head, looked at Constantine, confirmed again and again that the expression he was looking at him was serious, not mocking, and then he slowly showed a relieved smile.

……

After parting with Constantine and his wife, Gabriel carried Duck’s air box and a lot of cat’s food and supplies back home. This time, he deeply realized the harshness of the sun in summer. She wore a thin vest dress , The whole back was soaked.She gently placed the flight case containing the Duck on the ground, opened the small cloth cover, let it out to adapt to the environment, then threw away the backpack, carelessly brushed her forehead hair wet with sweat, hugged the water cup and kettle, and fell onto the sofa Li poured heavily.

After a short rest, Gabriel started to get busy, carefully locked the doors and windows, removed all fragile objects, dangerous objects and wires within reach, and installed cat food bowls and toilets... Duck silently watched Gabriel go around the houses Turning around, and sometimes following her for a few steps, it seems to be observing the new owner. Gabriel left it alone for the time being, letting it observe and comprehend on its own, she opened the living room curtains to let the sun shine in, and when she checked again after a while, Duck had already found a warm place on the sofa and fell asleep quietly.

In the afternoon, Gabriel, who had finally finished his busy work, was a little sleepy. He really wanted to take a nap, but he didn't dare. He was afraid that Duck would not adapt to a strange environment and cause various problems. Underground activities.

Turn on the computer, resist the tiredness, and start the coding time again.She has been making quite good progress recently. As long as her fingers touch the keyboard, she can't stop typing, and she is basically in a state of flowing thoughts throughout the whole process.Sometimes she also thinks proudly that Eve praised her as a genius, and it seems that she has never been praised.

Duck probably woke up again, feeling bored, so he jumped from the ground to the table. During this period, he pushed the wireless mouse inadvertently. I found it interesting, so I played games with the mouse on the spot.

Where is Gabriel still thinking about writing? He stopped his hands and smiled while watching Duck entertain himself. The streamlined small body is nimble and nimble, and his gray and black fur is also smooth and bright. It looks pleasing to the eye. If there is a camera at hand, Gabriel Be sure to take a picture and send it to Angela.

The little creatures in the world are so cute, if she met Duck earlier, would she let him let go of all cats and their close relatives before deciding to join hands with Mammon to destroy the world?

She let Duck play with the mouse for a while, worried that Duck's nails would scratch Eve's mouse, so she took the mouse back. She found a few cat toys from the pile of things Angela gave her, threw them on the ground, and put them on the ground. Duck hugged the desk.

Duck is already an adult cat, and he has been with Angela for so long. He understands the living habits of human beings, and he is very clear about his identity. .

Gabriel looked at Duck with joy, and when the bedroom door rang, her mind was still on Duck, ignoring the fact that the curtains were open everywhere, until Eve's scream woke her up. Come.

She pulled up her chair and rushed out.

Eve had already retreated into the dark bedroom, Gabriel chased him in, turned on the light, and saw Eve's slender figure huddled beside the bed, shoulders shrugged, face buried in the palm of his hand, as if he was hiding something and didn't want her to see it.

Gabriel panicked and hurried over: "I'm sorry, Eve, are you okay?"

Eve responded with a "huh", with a dull voice that was a bit weak: "I'mokay."

Gabriel looked at the way Eve was covering her face, worried, so he came closer, reached out to shake her hand, trying to take her hand away: "You're burned, aren't you? Let me see."

Eve desperately resisted Gabriel's hand, and kept hiding to the side: "Gabriel! Don't come here! Don't look! Please!"

Gabriel couldn't help it, so he had to let go, respecting her, but at the same time he couldn't help worrying: "But... are you really okay?"

"Don't worry, it won't take long." Eve turned to the side again, with most of her shoulders facing Gabriel, "Let me heal myself, you go out."

Hearing Eve's eviction order, Gabriel had no choice but to get up and go out. She walked slowly to the door and left a solemn sentence: "I'm really sorry, Eve."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

Gabriel pursed his lips and walked out of the bedroom.

After hearing the sound of closing the door, Eve finally raised her head from the palm of her hand. Her forehead, the entire right half of her cheek, and the right side of her neck and collarbone were completely festered, and the decayed muscle tissue was blood red. It has even turned black, and the white bones are exposed, terrifying and frightening, and accompanied by unspeakable pain. Eve clutched the hem of her shirt tightly, crying in pain, but she would rather bear it alone in the dark than have Gabriel stay by her side and see her so ugly.

Who wouldn't want to present their best side to the people they care about?Even that might not be the truth.

Eve's heart, which had just calmed down, tightened again.

If he knew that she still had such a terrifying side, would Gabriel still be able to accept her?
