want to date my cat

"Oh, what are you doing today, you are so beautifully dressed." The neighbor raised his head from the garden and greeted.

Mi Zhiqiu's mother wore a small fragrant suit that outlined her figure, elegant and intellectual. She waved the envelope in her hand, "Go to the wedding."

"My friend's children, it's almost time." The neighbor sighed, "Everyone feels like they have grown up."

Mi Zhiqiu's mother twirled the ring with the pink diamond embedded in it, and smiled, "It's my son who is getting married."

"Really!" The neighbor was very surprised, "I've never heard that Xiao Mi has a partner, why is there a wedding all of a sudden..."

Mi Zhiqiu's mother smoothed her bangs, her hair was curled into big waves and hung fluffy on her shoulders, "I just found out."

The other party didn't pick up the conversation for a while.

"Then I'm in a hurry, so I'm leaving first." She waved the envelope.

The invitation contained in the envelope was simple and elegant, and the person invited was "Ms. Cheng Sizhi".

Cheng Sizhi.

This is the name of Mi Zhiqiu's mother. When she was young, she was used to being independent. She felt that besides her partner, she had her first and last name to accompany her in her life. So the first thing she did after getting married was to change the name she didn't like.

Mi Zhiqiu was already in elementary school, so he asked his grandmother curiously, "Why do you and grandpa call my mother Qiuxia?"

That was the former name abandoned by Ms. Cheng Sizhi.

I always prefer the name I choose for myself. When other people introduce themselves at school, they will say who I am the mother of so and so, but she will say, "Hello, I am Cheng Sizhi, and this is my son."

Mi Zhiqiu never revealed her identity. Others said that Zhiqiu's name was nice, but he didn't mention why his mother chose it that way, but smiled very gently, saying maybe it was.

Cheng Sizhi has always liked his little thoughtfulness.

Mi Zhiqiu is probably the kind of kid from someone else's family. He is gentle and polite. He learns everything quickly. He can draw and play musical instruments. He is good-looking and doesn't even have to worry about his studies. If you don't agree, you will explain very seriously that you can't miss class.

Cheng Sizhi lived her life smoothly, including her son who was sure to live a better life.

She has always thought so.

The stereo in the taxi was too loud, Cheng Sizhi rolled down the window a little, leaned against the window and opened the envelope again.

It was given to her by Mi Zhiqiu himself half a month ago. He said that because he wanted to choose a place with a sea, he had to go there to make preparations first.

"You can just come and play without worry, I've put the ticket inside." He always looks like a student when he smiles, no matter how formal the clothes are.

Cheng Sizhi opened the invitation, and there was only one sentence in it.

"Inviting the most important lady in my life, past and future, to my wedding."

"The most important lady." Cheng Sizhi read silently.

The speed of the car swayed the hair on the top of her head with the wind. The summer wind is warm and soft.

Cheng Sizhi thought.

Yeah, I'll never be in this "most important woman" contest ever again.

Because it was a man who walked into the palace with my son.

Cheng Sizhi has always been a very happy person, which is what she hopes to be, to be a happy little girl when she was a child, a happy woman when she is an adult, and a happy old lady when she is old.

A singer she likes said, "I hope that when I get old, I can become more open, able to accept everyone, have no prejudice against identity or status, still curious about the world, but have a sense of justice, and also very brave."

This will definitely make you a better person.Cheng Sizhi thought so.

But when her son suddenly told her a year ago that he was going to spend the rest of his life with the boy who often came to play at home, Cheng Sizhi suddenly felt that he didn't have to be a better person.

But she finally asked Mi Zhiqiu, "Have you thought about it yet?"

This question is usually asked by Mi Zhiqiu's father, Cheng Sizhi rarely used this sentence pattern once, and it seemed extraordinarily deep.

She must be very handsome, she thought.

She didn't remember Mi Zhiqiu's answer, it was probably very firm, but that didn't matter.Because this was her temporary prevarication, and she used a calm attitude to give herself a chance to buffer.

She asked the client's father, "What would you think if your son was with a man?"

"I don't think so."

"Think about it." Cheng Sizhi patted the quilt.

Mi Zhiqiu's father looked at her, "This is an anti-human thing, because the instinct to reproduce exists in the genes."

"So are you objecting?" Cheng Sizhi suddenly seemed a little dissatisfied.

She felt that she was quite difficult to serve, neither this nor that.

"I really don't think much about it." Dad said patiently, "Humans often do things against humanity, overcome their own emotions, refuse to seek comfort, and abandon the herd mentality. We are all born with selfish instincts, but There are still so many people who have become great givers."

"There's also a marriage law," he added.

"Oh, are you dissatisfied with monogamy?" Ms. Cheng Sizhi heard his subtext.

They chatted very late that day, Cheng Sizhi did not expect her husband to accept this matter so smoothly.But it seems to be the case, because he and his son are so similar, such as tolerance, such as no prejudice, such as extreme rationality.

This often seems like the only bad guy in the family.

"Couldn't he have secretly told you a long time ago?" Ms. Cheng questioned.

"He's not going to tell me at all." Mi's father clicked his tongue, "Don't you brat know you yet? You will definitely tell me right away."

Cheng Sizhi thought, yes, he knows us thoroughly.

An enlightened father, and a beautiful, gentle and understanding mother.She suddenly boasted of herself.

and after.

Cheng Sizhi recalled.

It seemed like the matter was settled.

Sometimes she would forget about it, go shopping for fitness and beauty, and live a happier life than anyone else.Sometimes I remember it all at once and start to look online to see how other gays are doing.

If this person is living happily, she will breathe a sigh of relief for him.If the person is having a bad day, she becomes unhappy.

"You said what if he regrets it?" At this time, she suddenly felt that Mi Zhiqiu was just a child, and asked Mi Zhiqiu's father worriedly.

Mi Zhiqiu's father took out a cigarette and told her, "Miss Cheng Sizhi, life is too short."

"I can't hug my granddaughter, isn't it because life is too short?"

Miss Cheng drove him to the balcony to smoke.

Maybe it was Mi Zhiqiu's father who secretly leaked the news to Mi Zhiqiu, such as "your mother is moaning and sighing all day long". When Mi Zhiqiu came home the next day, he gave her a thick stack of things.

Cheng Sizhi asked him what it was.

Mi Zhiqiu said that Xia Xin suddenly went out to exchange when he was in college, and wrote him a postcard every day.

"This is all my replies." Mi Zhiqiu said, "But it was relatively young at that time. Don't tell me what I wrote. It's really shameful."

Cheng Sizhi was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the two of them to be so tall and burly, so romantic.

It happened to be winter at that time, and his hands became cold after leaving the bed for a while. Cheng Sizhi took out a few postcards in order from the stack of postcards every day before going to bed.

Because there is no part written by Xia Xinran here, it can hardly be called a dialogue, it looks like writing some essay or memoir.Sometimes we talk about the weather, and sometimes we talk about the cat at the door of the dormitory.

But the more you look back, the more you see in what Mi Zhiqiu wrote.

There are animations in his childhood, flying dragonflies, cherry trees downstairs in high school, lunch time when he doesn't like to run, nightmares he often has, sounds he likes to hear, smells he likes to smell, and those little dreams , feelings, his childhood, and even his mother.

Of course, that was just a very plain sentence, even a complaint.

"My mother used to lie to me, saying that eating the skin of cantaloupe would kill her, and then she completely forgot that I passed out from crying. But when she is old, I may not lie to her, after all, girls can't be cry."

Cheng Sizhi secretly slandered that his own son loved to hold grudges, but he wanted to laugh because of the last sentence.

The postcard contains Mi Zhiqiu who she doesn't know, or the little Mi Zhiqiu who she doesn't remember.

They all grew up secretly in Cheng Sizhi's busy and happy life.

There is also a special letter in this stack, which is different from other hard paper postcards, it is really an envelope containing a thin letter paper.

When I opened it, it was much more than other postcards. I don’t know if it was because it was folded too many times, and there were small holes in the creases. It seemed that the wind could easily tear it open. half portion.

Cheng Sizhi accidentally glanced at a line inside.

"I smell a familiar smell on your clothes."

Her first reaction was to shake her hands in fright, and then she folded it up and put it back in the envelope.

Cheng Sizhi inexplicably felt that this letter was different from the others, as if there was a thought hidden in all the frankness that would be covered by the envelope, hesitant to speak, dark and timid.

She stared at the most worn letter, thinking like a sigh, the other party must have understood it.

The end of that winter meant that another natal year for Cheng Sizhi was over.

Someone asked her, "Did anything good happen in your natal year?"

She thought for a while and replied, "Nothing is the best thing."

As a result, after the Chinese New Year, there was a mess at home.

Because Mi Zhiqiu's grandma asked Mi Zhiqiu's father, "When is Mi Mi going to find someone?"

The big-hearted father opened his mouth and came, "Don't worry, he has found a boyfriend, who is very handsome."

Grandma thought it was her son's humor, but after a few cross-examinations, she found out that it was true, and immediately couldn't accept it.

In the beginning, he just scolded Mi Zhiqiu's father, telling him to persuade Mi Mi, "How decent is this?"

It turned out that not only Mi Zhiqiu's father, but even his daughter-in-law had acquiesced to this matter, and the other party even came to visit during the Chinese New Year, and the fruit I ate just now was also given by that man.

After she got old, Parkinson's became more and more serious, as if she couldn't catch her breath, her hands shook again and again, and the chopsticks fell to the ground.

"This is impossible! Mi Zhiqiu will definitely marry a girl in the end!"

Cheng Sizhi was helpless, "But he likes boys, and this cannot be forced."

Grandma Mi Zhiqiu seemed anxious and angry as if she couldn't understand her, and shouted at Mi Zhiqiu's father, "Our Mi Mi is so good...he is so good...You parents don't know how to lead him to the right path..."

As she spoke, her cheeks trembled, and her eyes immediately turned red as if she was alone and helpless.

Cheng Sizhi thought that her son was different from others after all.

This is his biological grandmother, who loves Mi Zhiqiu the most, and now she seems to be saying that he has gone on some crooked ways, and if he doesn't go astray, he will be kicked out of the house.

Cheng Sizhi's head was full of blood and blood, and he was a martial artist and dog blood.

Mi Zhiqiu's grandma became more and more excited as she spoke, and she suddenly couldn't stop crying, "What should I do from now on, isn't the Mi family going to end the queen?"

"Mom." Mi Zhiqiu's father had been sitting beside him without speaking, and now he spoke suddenly.

He looked too serious, and Grandma Mi Zhiqiu's voice stopped immediately.

The sudden stop of the voice created a too hasty silence.

Mi Zhiqiu's father picked up the chopsticks and put them back on the table.

"You have the right not to accept homosexuality, and he also has the right to choose who to spend his life with. You are old, and I am old. We cannot see his future."

"Mi Zhiqiu is a responsible child. He told me that he has thought about it. If you decide to interfere in his life, then you should think about it too."

"Mom, every day is a day only when people are happy."

The taxi arrived. After Cheng Sizhi got out of the car, he immediately saw Mi Zhiqiu's father carrying a suitcase not far away.

Because he went to deal with some work in advance, he drove the car away early and took the luggage away.

Probably because of getting older, Cheng Sizhi gradually realized that no amount of hard work is insignificant in the face of aging.

But it seems that these signs are not obvious in Mi Zhiqiu's father.

In the past few years, she has come to some conclusions, because this person is extremely optimistic and has a big heart.

Sometimes she wondered why Mi Zhiqiu had inherited so many good qualities from his father, why he didn't inherit the core element of his youthful appearance, optimism.

Mi Zhiqiu always thinks a lot, not like a boy.

After grandma finished the fight, no one present told Mi Zhiqiu about it, including grandma herself.But he still found something unusual when he went to grandma's house later.

Cheng Sizhi gloated, there must be someone you can't handle.

As a result, after a while, he suddenly came back with two cats in his arms.

"Where are these two guests?" Cheng Sizhi was a little afraid of cats, so he immediately classified them into the guest column.

Go as soon as you're done.

"These two are my former bosses." Mi Zhiqiu introduced enthusiastically.

"What company?"

"Dream adventures." Mi Zhiqiu said it seriously.

So next, Cheng Sizhi got two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news.

The good news is that Mi Zhiqiu took the cat away.

The bad news is that Mi Zhiqiu only took one away.

"This is the cat at the door of our dormitory. It looks good." Mi Zhiqiu patted its head, "It's just a bit stupid, and it was cheated back with a cardboard box."

Good guy, it turned out to be a kidnapper.

"Take this victim away quickly." Cheng Sizhi struggled needlessly.

Then the cat named "Carton" stayed.

As another victim, Cheng Sizhi was also responsible for taking the cat for a medical examination, and even met a doctor who said he also had two news.

"Let's talk about the bad news first." Cheng Sizhi felt that the good news was all lies.

"It's a little bit older, and it has serious dental calculus." The doctor scratched its mouth and showed it to Cheng Sizhi.

Only children make the choice, and adults all want it, so she got the good news again, "But this cat is in very good health, and it should live for a long, long time."

Cheng Sizhi didn't listen too much, his mind was full of, why is this cat so barren.

She didn't know where Mi Zhiqiu took the other cat at first, until when she went to Mi Zhiqiu's grandmother's house for dinner, she saw a cat's tail protruding from the bedroom door.

"Useless things, so timid." Grandma Mi Zhiqiu commented.

But the aunt who did the housework told Cheng Sizhi privately that grandma liked the cat very much, and she even allowed the cat to go to bed because she was always clean.

"Grandma always said it was timid, because Mi Zhiqiu named the cat Coward when he brought it here, and said that when it was young, it didn't dare to go out to look for food during the day."

"Your family Mi Zhiqiu is really a good boy." The aunt thought for a while and added, "He told grandma that this cat is a little older, but it's not bad." You may not be able to see my whole life , but you are in such good health that you may be able to watch its entire life.'”

Auntie didn't know that Mi Zhiqiu had been forced out of the closet by his father, and all she said was to praise him for his filial piety.

Cheng Sizhi thought that his grandma might have scolded him [-] times for being unfilial to his descendants behind his back.

But cats are indeed a good thing.

Every time Cheng Sizhi sat on the sofa, the cardboard box was like a mollusc, finding any sunken part of her body and tucking it in, it was hot.

Sometimes she would also think, this is Mi Zhiqiu's apology, thinking that she would not have children, so she tricked two cats to come back to fulfill his filial piety for him.On the contrary, he would make plans and call out to the cat boss, but he brought him back to work as a part-time job.

But at the same time, Cheng Sizhi also wondered why she raised such a sensitive child.

Sensitivity is the best perception tool for his writing, but it is also easy to pay more emotional costs for it.

especially he...

One year is not short, Cheng Sizhi seems to be no longer able to use the words "different from others" to describe Mi Zhiqiu in such a time.

She suddenly felt from the bottom of her heart one day that her child was just ordinary in love with another person.

Love is like a cat, alive, free, absorbing sunlight, then it is healthy.Nothing great, nothing different.

Before going to the wedding, Mi Zhiqiu had a long phone call with her.

He told Cheng Sizhi that Xia Xinran's parents would not be present.

"Then what kind of relative will come?" Cheng Sizhi took it for granted.

The other end of the microphone was silent for a while, and then Mi Zhiqiu said cautiously, "No one will come."

"oh, I see."

"You don't mind." Mi Zhiqiu's voice remained tense.

Cheng Sizhi wondered what he would mind, "Your dad certainly doesn't mind either, he might not even be able to find out."

Maybe the description was too real, Mi Zhiqiu suddenly laughed, "It's possible."

He breathed out, "I'm still worried that you will feel disrespected like this, or that Xia Xin suddenly doesn't take this matter seriously."

Cheng Sizhi's first reaction was that Xia Xinran was rather pitiful. His parents chose to live a free life, but they didn't respect his choice, but she didn't say it in the end.

She answered Mi Zhiqiu like this, "So you must cherish him, all this is not easy."

I am such an understanding woman.Cheng Sizhi thought.

But I don't know what's wrong with this sentence, so Mi Zhiqiu was quiet for a long time before answering her, "Yeah."

Cheng Sizhi was just about to leave the court without incident, but Mi Zhiqiu started talking again on the other end of the phone.

"Mom, do you know that before, Dad said that you cried secretly."

Cheng Sizhi thought, this traitor.

"He also told me that grandma can't change my life."

Yeah, do you think my mother is vegetarian?

"Thank you so much."

Mi Zhiqiu seldom said such provocative words, Cheng Sizhi felt a little nauseous, and frowned.

Maybe she didn't realize it herself, but Mi Zhiqiu's reaction when she frowned was exactly the same as hers.

Cheng Sizhi thought, he can't let him talk for a long time, he has done more than a year of psychological construction, and it is time to show results.So she cleared her throat and began to talk about what she had memorized earlier.

I was supposed to tell him at the wedding.

"If the carbon atoms inside the diamond are misplaced, the inside..." She got stuck a little bit, forgetting what the term was. "There's deformation anyway, and that makes it the most natural pink."

"You know natural pink diamonds are very, very expensive."

Cheng Sizhi suddenly interrupted this memory when he woke up from the dream.Maybe it was because the dream was too long, messing up her unthinking brain, and she didn't wake up until she stepped out of the airport.

What follows is the salty taste of sea water, as if you can catch the salt if you grab it in the air.

Not far away, she saw Mi Zhiqiu standing there waving at her. The boy next to him was so handsome, with his hands full of things.

Cheng Sizhi recalled those postcards, and was later asked to leave by Mi Zhiqiu.

"Xia Xinran has urged me twice." He explained with a little embarrassment.

Can I still covet his things? The people who write to him are all born to me.Cheng Sizhi suddenly took revenge.

But at the same time, she recalled that Mi Zhiqiu once wrote in a postcard that she would live in a place with the sea in the future.

In addition to the taste, there is also the sound of waves beating in the distance, subtle and trivial, just like touching the eardrum lightly.

Mi Zhiqiu seemed very happy, it was rare to see him smiling so brightly.

Mi Zhiqiu's father always said, "What is he talking about?"

Cheng Sizhi seemed to have finally freed up some space, recalling the aftermath of that dream.

What did she say at the end.

Oh yes, she thought.

It's a very nasty sentence.

"So being different is not necessarily a shortcoming. You don't need to thank us. Your father and I just have the most valuable pink diamond."

And this diamond now stands next to the other diamond that dislocated his carbon atoms, shining brightly.

Cheng Sizhi thought, I'd like to go over and ask, what is he smirking about.

Then Mi Zhiqiu saw his mother, who was always beautiful and never cried, standing in the middle of the road, crying profusely.

[Small Easter Egg] Many, many years have passed, Mi Zhiqiu accidentally asked her mother what she was crying for.

Cheng Sizhi covered his mouth with his hand, as if he was talking about some big secret, "I finally lost my mouth to eat at Happy House, and wept with joy."

Mi Zhiqiu sighed, "That's really congratulations to you."

Cheng Sizhi hummed a song and made coffee, looked at Mi Zhiqiu who had been perfunctorily walked away by him, and recalled that his head was twisted wrong at that time.

After thinking about it, I was still nauseous, so I vomited out of thin air.Then quickly leave this memory and go to the living room with coffee.

There was no sound in the kitchen, only the thoughts she had from many years ago remained.

"My name is Cheng Sizhi. In my casual life, I miss you even by your name."
