The car followed the nearby traffic into the main road of the city aimlessly, passed through several blocks, and arrived near Jinhua University.

Shiliu straightened up and lay on the car window, patting the window glass with restless paws.

"What are you going to do? Where do you want to go?" An Huaixu glanced at Shiliu, and sighed quietly, "Okay, I'll take you around Jinhua, there's nothing to do anyway."

Shiliu lazily turned his head to her, as a response to the other party's self-questioning.

An Huaixu turned on the right turn signal and drove directly into the school's temporary parking lot.

On the campus at [-]:[-] in the morning, boys are playing in groups of three or four on the basketball court. Some students in the morning class hurriedly shuttle between the classroom and the cafeteria with their textbooks in their hands;

A gust of wind blows and rolls up the ashes and dead leaves on the ground. The chill in late autumn and early winter cannot hide the vigor on the young faces.

Everything on the campus is still very familiar, but she is no longer a student here, and she is completely different from the students who are running on the path.

An Huaixu frowned, his nose clip was slightly reddish by the wind.

Holding Shili in her arms, she walked slowly on the path full of cedar trees: "Shiliu, this is where your mother and your mother met."

The last time she came to Jinhua was when Lu Linzhong confessed his love to her. The leaves of the sycamore trees turned slightly yellow that day, the weather was sunny and the wind was warm. Now that Lu Linzhong has gone to Shanghai, the weather in Jincheng has also turned bad.

An Huaixu sniffed, and put Shiliu on the ground, "Hey, you are too heavy, go down and walk by yourself."

Sixteen tentatively stretched out his paws, feeling that there was not much threat around him, and gradually became more courageous.There were quite a few girls on campus who liked cats and dogs, and some of them even made a detour to take pictures of Shiliu.

"It's so fat and round. I heard that orange cats are greedy."

"Although it's fat, it looks so smart. The orange cat needs to be fat to look good, right, Uncle Cat?"

An Huaixu smiled awkwardly, "It's a girl."

"Can it have bread? Would you like some?"

Shiliu seemed to understand, and poked his little paw forward.An Huaixu wondered, can cats eat bread?Don't eat anything wrong, after all, it's Boss Xu's half-child.

"No no no."

Sixteen raised his head and looked at An Huaixu.

An Huaixu put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood next to a magnolia tree, staring at it seriously with his eyebrows frowned.

One person and one cat watched like this, and the soothing and gentle bell rang in the campus. This is the morning self-study bell only for freshmen. These immature faces on the road walked even more hurriedly. An Huaixu curled the corners of his mouth and stared at the Fali Building I looked at the outer wall of the house for a while, and she was one of them walking a few years ago.

An Huaixu came back to his senses, and lowered his head to see that there was no yellow shadow on the ground.

She was stunned, no way, Sixteen was lost in less than an hour after she got it.

A yellow tail flashed by the corner of the basketball court, An Huaixu took a step to chase after it, Shiliu ran away, turned around several times and disappeared.

"Student, have you seen a yellow orange cat? It's fat and has a collar around its neck."

"Are you sure you went to the track and field?"

An Huaixu looked around. In recent years, the ecological environment of Jinhua has been getting better and better. The grassland full of holly is getting deeper and deeper, and the rows of plane trees are covered with fallen leaves. easy to find.

The long yellow and white tail appeared under the gray wall bricks of the dormitory building, and jumped into the track and field with a big leap. She just chased to the track and field, and the yellow shadow disappeared again.

Why is he so fat and still so agile?Depressedly, An Huaixu took out his phone, and went against the flow of people, looking through the contact information in the address book.

Did she call Meng Qiu or Xu Zhongxuan?Who will she suffer less from calling?

"Boom-"

Shoulder to shoulder, An Huaixu collided firmly with the person, and the phone flew out of his palm and landed a meter away.

An Huaixu didn't have time to rub his shoulders, and bent down to pick up the phone.

"I'm not conscious! Classmate, have you—" She raised her head, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

"Well, I'm not hurt." Lin Yucen took off his earphones, reached out and rubbed his left shoulder.

Lin Yucen was wearing light-colored sportswear and a white peaked cap on his head, which naturally became a beautiful scenery on the dark track and field.A few times before An Huaixu saw that Lin Yucen was dressed in a more formal attire, but now in this outfit, his face looks smaller, with sharp edges and corners, full of youthful vigor like the children who are going to school in Jinhua.That's right, Lin Yucen is only 21 years old, and he was originally a student.

The two looked at each other.

An Huaixu: "Why are you here?"

Lin Yucen: "Run in the morning."

An Huaixu nodded. She sent Lin Yucen home yesterday and knew that her family lived near the north gate of Jinhua's main campus. On the contrary, it was really strange that she appeared in Jinhua at this time.

Forget it, An Huaixu doesn't want to explain too much, the important thing is to find a cat.

"What about you?" Lin Yucen looked at her.

"I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." She turned around and continued to chase Shiliu.

"An Huai Xu."

A voice behind her called her.

"Cat!" An Huaixu pointed to Shiliu, who was huddled in a corner a hundred meters away, and stretched out his hand to grab Lin Yucen, "Boss Xu's Shiliu, you've seen it before! Help me catch it!"

Hearing the movement, Shiliu quickly ran to the woods behind the dormitory area.

An Huaixu was speechless, turned to Lin Yucen and said, "Quick, if it gets into the woods, it will almost become a wild cat."

"You, why did you bring Shiliu here?"

"I'm out of my mind." An Huaixu brushed off the broken hair on his forehead, and started to catch up.

Lin Yucen looked at her, the corner of his mouth raised a little.

"sixteen?"

"sixteen!"

"sixteen······"

An Huaixu turned his head to look at the calm Lin Yucen behind him, and couldn't help shouting: "Your boss's cat, why don't you hurry up and look for it together?!"

"My direct supervisor is Vice President Lu."

An Huaixu turned his back to Lin Yucen, his face changed slightly.

"According to the management method of the enterprise, the statement you just made is not 100% rigorous."

"Forget it." An Huaixu said no more, and ran into the woods after Shiliu.

Shiliu walked through the woods, stopped in front of a small broken house without a signboard, approached the small gray iron cage by the door with small steps, and stretched out his claws into the cage.An Huaixu was panting after running behind Shiliu, stopped, and looked at the small broken house in front of him in surprise. Yi Zi said that he had become a teacher in Jinhua, and the small broken house that sold exam cheats back then It's still there.

Sixteen walked around the iron cage a few times, yelling as he walked.An Huaixu took a closer look, and saw that there was a milk cat in the small cage.

Coincidentally, it has the same suit as Sixteen.

"Little ancestor, don't run away, I'll hold you as hard as I can." An Huaixu grabbed Shiliu, and Shiliu yelled twice, as if answering her.

An Huaixu stretched out his hand to scrape off the dead leaves and grass on the sixteen hairs, and picked out the plastic paper in his mouth: "The cats in this big family play with too many high-end toys, and they are excited to pick up a piece of paper when they go out."

The little one in the cage seemed very unhappy to see Shiliu being hugged, and opened its mouth to call out in a milky voice, revealing its small milky white fangs.

An Huaixu's heart softened. She always liked small animals, but she didn't know how to take care of them.Before getting married, I thought that she and Lu Linzhong would be able to raise a big dog in the future, and they could form a warm family of three.It's just that Lu Linzhong is a bit of a clean freak and doesn't like any furry animals, so she never mentioned in front of Lu Linzhong that she wants to keep a pet.

An Huaixu held Shiliu's fat paws and stretched into the cage to touch the kitten. The movements were gentle, and the soft fur brought the kitten's body warmth to her fingertips.

She bent her eyes and smiled, with a slight dimple at the corner of her mouth.The warm winter sun passing through the shadows of the trees cast mottled spots on her face, everything around her became soft, even the pace of time slowed down, and the action of gently stroking the little things was like a long shot in a literary movie .

"Shiliu, it's cuter than you." An Huaixu scratched Shiliu's cheek and said solemnly.

Lin Yucen looked at An Huaixu from a distance for a while, put away the smile on his lips, and walked over slowly: "They look alike."

"Orange cats all look alike."

Hearing the lazy voice behind them, An Huaixu and Lin Yucen turned their heads at the same time.

"Student Yi?!"

Yi Ziyue yawned, stroked his hair that was disheveled by sleep, and said with a frown, "I thought someone came to adopt this poor little one, so I got up from the bed."

An Huaixu pointed to the cage, "It doesn't have an owner yet?"

"Yeah, it was born by a stray cat in the school. The mother cat disappeared, so I picked it up."

An Huaixu frowned, "You won't keep it after picking it up?"

"I don't like cats," said Yi Ziyue, "I wanted to find an owner for it by posting on the school forum, but now it's almost the end of the term and the students are so busy that most of the students will go home after the end of the term and the winter vacation. When the owner leaves, it will become a stray cat again."

An Huaixu looked down at the kittens in the cage again, "Is it male or female?"

"male."

male!An Huaixu had a bad idea in his heart, and his eyes lit up.

"It's been two months, and I took it for the first injection of cat triplet yesterday. Why, do you want to adopt it?"

An Huaixu reluctantly moved away from the kitty, shook his head and said, "No, I just asked casually."

Yi Ziyue's eyes fell back on the fat Shiliu, "If you keep two cats at the same time, you have to separate them. They may fight, and the big one will bully the small one."

"It's not my cat. It's my best friend's cat."

Yi Ziyue stared at the words on the cat's collar: "Sixteen?"

"The cat's name, a name with a deep meaning."

Yi Ziyue frowned imperceptibly, the lingering drowsiness on his face seemed to have completely disappeared.She went into the store and took out the textbooks from the shelf: "If there is nothing else, I have to prepare to teach the students."

An Huaixu nodded, "Then you can find a more reliable owner for this little one."

Yi Ziyue took two steps with the textbook between his arms.

"and many more."

An Huaixu raised his eyebrows, looking at Lin Yucen who suddenly spoke in surprise.

"I want to adopt." Lin Yucen went to the cage and squatted down, "Do I need to go through any adoption procedures?"

"Ah?" Yi Zi said his eyes flicked over An Huaixu and Lin Yucen, smiled inexplicably, and narrowed his eyes, "This is not a pet shop here, you take away the cage, just treat it well."

An Huaixu asked Lin Yucen suspiciously, "Why did you adopt?"

"like."

"Like it? Are you sure you like it?" An Huaixu said, "Last time at Xu Zhongxuan's house, I don't think you are interested in Shiliu either."

"Mr. Xu likes it, but I won't like it."

"······I thought you would raise some cats that pay attention to blood, like puppet or something."

Lin Yucen copied his trouser pockets, picked up the iron cage, and didn't answer.An Huaixu hugged Shiliu and Lin Yucen behind him, and the two returned along the original road, and met Yi Ziyue standing by the road.

"Student Yi, why are you still here?"

Yi Ziyue pointed to the door of the small shop, "Uh... I forgot to close the door. By the way, I haven't given you the record book for vaccinations."

Lin Yucen followed Yi Ziyue and walked back to the store to get the brochures.

An Huaixu glanced at the time, "It's almost eight o'clock, will you have time to go home and go to work?"

"Vice President Lu went on a business trip to Shanghai and granted me a few days off."

"Oh."

"Do you have the time?"

An Huaixu took a step back and squinted his eyes: "I've already had breakfast."

Lin Yucen glanced at her and said lightly, "Buy things for cats."

"..."

An Huaixu cleared his throat in embarrassment, "I just want to buy it too. I promised to help Boss Xu take care of Shiliu, so let's go together."

The sun gradually broke through the clouds, illuminating the gloomy and tidy plants in the cold wind. The two walked side by side on the open and flat concrete road, without speaking to each other.

"I heard that you graduated from Jinhua Law School."

An Huaixu shrugged, "What did you hear, you must have asked someone about me back then, I'm not a stingy person, I don't mind."

She raised her chin, "The Fali Building, the Wenxin Building, the Aging Building and the Xinhua Building, and the Shangjing Building over there."

"Jinhua is not bad." Lin Yucen stared, "It is already a double-first-class university in China, but compared with well-known universities in the world, it is really not worth it."

The little girl Lin Yucen spoke like a veteran cadre, and An Huaixu didn't want to answer her words.

Lin Yucen: "If I have a chance, I'll take you to my school. It's also very good."

An Huaixu: "Why should I go?"

Lin Yucen: "I'm just inviting you out of politeness, of course you can refuse me."

An Huaixu; "..."

The quiet kitten in the cage yelled at An Huaixu twice: "Meow~meow~"

An Huaixu's eyes softened, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and the shallow dimples appeared on both sides of the corner of his mouth again.Lin Yucen stared intently at the two shallow dimples.

An Huaixu: "Have you figured out what to call it?"

Lin Yucen turned his face slightly, "Huh?"

"Shall I give it a name?!" An Huaixu's eyes were shining, like the dew on the pine needles illuminated by the morning light.

"No. It's my cat."

"???" An Huaixu choked for a moment, and said unwillingly, "Okay, yours."

"Then, what's your cat's name?" An Huaixu deliberately emphasized the words in the middle.

"cat."

"..." An Huaixu put a finger in from the crack in the iron cage, tapped the little milk cat's head, and said with emotion, "I've wronged you, you don't even deserve a name."

Lin Yucen got into the passenger seat, hugged Shiliu into his arms, and the little one in the cage began to act like a baby.

An Huaixu pouted his chin: "It doesn't like you hugging Shiliu. Since you are its owner, you must treat it well, and don't hug other cats casually."

"You gave me Shiliu." Lin Yucen put Shiliu at his feet calmly.

"Obviously you occupy the sixteenth seat."

Shiliu looked at Lin Yucen from bottom to top, Lin Yucen nodded, and unceremoniously reached out to tighten his seat belt.

An Huaixu let out a breath, tapped the accelerator and drove out of the temporary parking lot into the traffic flow.Now it is the morning rush hour in Jincheng, almost every red light must stop, and some major intersections even have to wait for several hours for the red light.

An Huaixu turned on the music in the car, and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, "Send you home first and change your clothes?"

"no need."

An Huaixu reached out and took a coat from the back row, and handed it to Lin Yucen: "I still have to wear it when I get off the car. It's so cold and you'll catch a cold if you wear such a thin coat."

Lin Yucen took the clothes, and a faint fragrance also diffused into her nostrils, like the spring breeze kissing the grass, like the cold dew embracing the night sky, and like a gentle embrace, which was irresistible.

Lin Yucen put on his clothes, stared down at the little milk cat in the cage, and finally reached out to stroke its soft fur.The kitten's body temperature was higher than her cool fingertips, like touching a piece of warm marshmallow.The little one called "meow meow" twice, in response to her caress, Lin Yucen's mouth curved.

An Huaixu turned his head and glanced at Lin Yucen's side face, then drove steadily to a nearby pet shop.

The little shopping guide in the store was very enthusiastic. They prepared everything from kitten toys to cat litter. One set was suitable for kittens, and the other was for sixteen. The entire back row was full, and the whole morning passed without knowing it. up.

Lin Yucen asked, "shall we have lunch together?"

An Huaixu took out his mobile phone, and clicked into the dialog box where he and Lu Linzhong were chatting with his fingertips. One morning passed, and since they hung up the phone last night, they still haven't spoken a word.

It's not that she refused to bow her head. She tried to call Lu Linzhong yesterday, but Lu Linzhong didn't want to talk to her.Is she going to try again?

She had paid attention to the weather in Shanghai a week ago. It was rainy and the temperature was low. She wondered if Lu Linzhong could get used to it.Should I call directly or send a message to Lu Linzhong?

"Huh?" Lin Yucen stood by the passenger's door and turned to look at An Huaixu.

"What did you just say?" An Huaixu came back to his senses, stuffed his phone back into his trouser pocket, and smiled awkwardly, "Did you mean dinner? All right, then I'll treat you to dinner."

She reached out to smooth out the broken hair on her forehead, and walked to the driver's seat.

"Can I skip KFC?" Lin Yucen asked.

An Huaixu slightly hooked his lips: "Of course, you don't mind what happened last time."

"It's not too bad to have a special birthday once in a while."

An Huaixu observed the road conditions intently, found a shopping mall by the side of the road at random, parked the car, left a narrow finger window for the two in the car, then locked the car, walked towards the elevator in the parking lot, and asked casually: "What are you eating?" What?"

Lin Yucen: "You decide."

An Huaixu pursed her lips: "Chinese and Western food?"

"you decide."

The heating in the shopping mall is sufficient and the lights are bright. Most of the girls coming and going hold milk tea in their hands, chatting and laughing.

"May I treat you to milk tea?" Lin Yucen looked at a Hong Kong-style milk tea shop with a long queue, "Girls seem to like it."

"..." An Huaixu said, "Let's go eat first."

She chose a Chinese restaurant at random. The overall feeling of the restaurant is good, the environment is quiet, and the decoration is elegant. If the taste is good, she thinks that she will definitely bring Lu Linzhong over next time.

An Huaixu picked the booth by the window, took the menu and handed it to Lin Yucen: "Order whatever you want."

"Can you eat spicy food?" Lin Yucen looked up at her.

"Yes." An Huaixu took out his phone again, clicked into the chat dialog box with Lu Linzhong, there was still no additional message, and he opened Lu Linzhong's profile picture habitually, and found that there was an update on Lu Linzhong's circle of friends, and the time was only 5 minutes ago.

An Huaixu went in without hesitation. The picture was a glass window. The sky outside was dark and rainy.The lower right corner of the glass window reflects Lu Linzhong's right hand and computer on the table.

An Huaixu subconsciously raised his head to look out the window. The winter in Jincheng is long and cold. There are occasional rays of sunlight in the morning, but at noon there are only thick clouds, which are heavy and depressing.

"What's the taboo?" Lin Yucen stroked the menu twice, then looked up at her again.

An Huaixu's eyelids drooped slightly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "I can do anything."

"Since everything is fine, let's order according to the sign." Lin Yucen handed the menu to the waiter, and raised his hand to pour water for An Huaixu.

"are you busy?"

"I..." An Huaixu locked the phone screen, picked up the teacup on his right hand, thought for a while, and said, "I have a friend who recently encountered some relationship problems."

Lin Yucen pursed his thin lips lightly, and asked in a warm voice, "Your friend is you, right?"

"..." An Huaixu said, "It's not me, it's—it's Yang Ergou!"

"You like Yang Ergou?"

"Cough, cough, cough." An Huaixu reached out and took a tissue to cover his lips, almost choking on a mouthful of tea, "No, I don't like him."

"Ok?"

"Have you ever been in love?"

Lin Yucen looked at An Huaixu quietly, waiting for her to speak.

"Forget it, I guess you don't understand either."

"Go ahead."

"It was Yang Ergou who secretly resigned without telling his girlfriend. After a fight, his girlfriend ignored him." Seeing Lin Yucen frowning, An Huaixu changed his tone, "It's not a big deal .”

"You don't think it's a big deal?"

An Huai was speechless: "Uh, that's not what I meant."

"There is something wrong with your thinking."

An Huaixu propped his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Hehe, why do you, a little girl, speak so like an old cadre?"

Lin Yucen looked serious, An Huaixu twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, consciously silent.

"If you compare falling in love to a cooperation, then your lover is your partner."

"???" An Huaixu was speechless, "But falling in love is not cooperation after all."

"Cooperation refers to the will and behavior of different individuals or groups for the common goal, consciously or unconsciously, to promote the realization of results that are beneficial to both parties. The goal of a sweet love is a happy marriage. The goal of a marriage The ultimate pursuit is happiness. In my opinion, the essence of falling in love and getting married is cooperation.”

"Yang Ergou's behavior violates the spirit of cooperation in principle, because cooperation values ​​trust. Trust is a relatively abstract concept. It is directly manifested in the distribution of benefits in business cooperation, and in emotion, it is manifested in the frankness of both parties in love. .”

An Huaixu was skeptical: "So Yang Ergou was not honest enough. In the final analysis, it was Yang Ergou's fault? I think your theory is untenable. You can be omniscient without feelings. You can always know what the other party is doing. What?"

"Don't interrupt me."

An Huaixu curled his lips, "Okay, you continue."

"Frankness is not a fixed value, but an activity value. Assuming the highest value is [-] points, then the passing line is [-] points. Things like Yang Ergou secretly making important decisions can be directly deducted points to fail."

"No. Both Yang Ergou and I think it's just a trivial matter. Why is it a big deal when it comes to your place? Even the standard of deducting points is different."

Lin Yucen's eyes were deep, and he paused and said: "The different standards for deducting points directly reflect the differences in the three views of the two lovers, and this is also the root cause of all emotional conflicts."

An Huaixu took a bite of the freshly served dish, choked on the chili pepper, and coughed a few times.

She lifted the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, "Go on, how do you solve this?"

Lin Yucen said thoughtfully, "I don't know."

"..." An Huaixu frowned, "If you have a solution, don't hide it. The problem has been solved for me, and Yang Ergou and I will thank you."

"There is no specific way." Lin Yucen raised his chopsticks, "The restoration of a relationship is the same as the restoration of a cooperative relationship."

"But Yang Ergou has already taken the initiative to contact his girlfriend, and the other party's attitude is quite cold."

Lin Yucen slightly raised his eyebrows, eating with a focused and serious expression, like sitting in an office reviewing documents, and after carefully tasting each dish, he casually answered An Huaixu: "En."

"and then?"

"Meeting can solve a lot of problems."

An Huaixu had an epiphany, picked up the teacup and clinked glasses with Lin Yucen: "Yes! You look like a veteran. Have you been in love abroad?!"

"No."

An Huaixu raised his eyebrows, and stretched out a hand to count: "So many?"

"No talk."

"..." An Huaixu put down his chopsticks, "Then is what you said reliable?"

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. If you don't believe it, you can try it."

An Huaixu absent-mindedly ate the dishes on the plate, and quietly pressed the phone screen under the dining table. As she thought, there was still no news.Are they really going to meet, or will it backfire?

Lin Yucen glanced at her indifferently, got up and went to the counter to check out, took the receipt and handed it to An Huaixu.

"Transfer to me via WeChat or Alipay."

"..."

"Since you intend to invite me to dinner, of course I'm not polite."

"With your personality, you don't have to worry about losing money when you go out."

An Huaixu scanned the amount on the receipt, took out his mobile phone, "Scan the payment code for me?"

"Add a friend." Lin Yucen pursed his lips.

An Huaixu looked up at her.

"I don't know much about raising cats, so maybe I need to ask you."

"That's fine too."

After lunch, An Huaixu sent Lin Yucen home, and took Shiliu back to Lanting Villa.

She slept sleepily on the sofa for a while, and when she woke up, the sky outside was already dark, the cold wind was mixed with cold rain, and the wind beat against the glass windows, making rustling noises.

An Huaixu turned on the chandelier in the living room, and the moment the light came on, he felt a little more at ease.

Shiliu'an curled up quietly and sat on the other side of the sofa, An Huaixu stretched out his hand and tickled: "Sixteen, come here."

Sixteen raised his head, then drooped it down again, and remained motionless on the spot.

An Huaixu sighed, found the mobile phone that still hadn't received any news in the crack of the sofa, and finally couldn't resist booking a flight to Shanghai tomorrow morning.
