It's too late to marry a cat [Interstellar]

Yahuiquan sleeps really well. Whether you give him a military single hard narrow bed, from the bed board to the mattress sheets are as hard as if made of the same set of metal materials, or give him a comfortable and soft big bed carefully arranged by the electronic housekeeper. The bed, even the supporting force and specification and shape of the mattress can be adjusted according to one's preferences. He will always only occupy a place that can barely accommodate one person, sleeping in a fixed position like a robot returning to a charging pile.

Don't move around, don't turn over casually, don't talk in sleep, don't grind your teeth, even breathing is very shallow, after a deep sleep, it's like a robot shutting down completely, unless external force wakes him up midway—or like this morning when the "illusion of being hugged" was born Similarly, there seems to be an abnormal situation beyond the routine - he will basically not turn on the phone in advance, and wake up naturally after the required battery is efficiently charged, and the biological clock is very stable.

If Baili is bored enough and is willing to take a picture of Yahuiquan who just lay down and closed his eyes, wait for the next morning to compare the photos before Yahuiquan wakes up, and you will be able to find out. After one night, His master's posture was almost exactly the same as last night, at most, the angle at which he buried his face in the pillow might be slightly different.

And being hugged by such a person to sleep is about the same as when the robot returns to the charging pile, it picks you up, and when it turns back to charge, it takes advantage of the opportunity to get you stuck between his arms that have stopped functioning.

At the beginning, I have to say, "Holding and sleeping together" sounds full of ambiguity, and it is easy to think of various warm, soft and sticky atmospheres, which makes people listen to it—especially after returning from a narrow escape. ,Suddenly found that my thinking seemed not as correct as before, and began to gradually slip into a certain indescribable field. When I heard it, it was hard not to feel a little bit of anticipation.

But as the experiencer of the embrace, it is estimated that he is the first lucky person who fell asleep with the arms of General Ya. After being shackled by a pair of human shackles for half a night, he only tried to move slightly. move.

The arms around him seemed to have their own sensors, and the arms retracted automatically without people waking up.

Wo Xiu: "..."

He is sober.

Listening to what Yahuiquan said, people want to protect the cat's sleep, and provide reliable arms to prevent the cat from moving around at night again, so as to avoid accidental injury when humans and cats share the same bed.

In practice, what Yahuiquan did was to use the cat as a pillow, and hugged it very domineeringly.

A sleeping General Ya is far less able to control his strength than an awake one. His hug is not like a hug, but more like the lack of a supervision fence, and he uses his own arm to cover it.

Wo Xiu was basically squeezed by Ya Huiquan into the triangle space built by the opponent's arm, body and bed. After careful consideration, this actually fits the most stable "triangle structure" in physics!

"It's a good thing I'm a fake cat." Wo Xiuxin said, "General, if you try to torture a real cat in this way, people will already scratch you with their claws, so I don't bother to care if it's the middle of the night. I need to rest, I just want to have a big fight with you for the cat's freedom."

The general slept peacefully. Maybe when he first made the decision to sleep with the cat, he really wanted to take care of the cat. However, things after falling asleep are really out of people's control.

Yahuiquan has been sleeping with cats for a long time. He used to be used to the warmth on his head. After falling asleep, he would unconsciously turn his head sideways, close to the heat source on the pillow, and his head was almost on the cat's belly every day.

Today, the cat changed its place to sleep, and it was he himself who proposed to change it. The heat source on the top of the head was lost, but the habitual instinct of following the warmth was still there.

It is rare for a person who has always slept in a regular position to move. He closed his eyes, but he did not find another body temperature in the previous position. That is, the body that sleeps on the side is slightly bent, and the back spine draws out a small but smooth arc.

He lowered his head so that his chin just brushed the top of the cat's head, and his warm breath fell on the fur behind the cat's ears.

When Wo Xiu moved at Yahuiquan, he actually found a breakthrough in the looseness of the "Iron Triangle", and he was able to take advantage of the momentary gap to escape from the shackles.

But he thought again: "Forget it."

The cat didn't move its nest, and the person didn't lose the plush pillow on the top of the head and the plush throw pillow in the back.

During the slight movement of the person, the cat only showed its superb sensitivity—simultaneously pulled back the corner of the quilt that was lifted by the person due to the movement.

It seems that they can't say that they have been apart for a long time, and they are actually experiencing a one-sided reunion. The reunion and escape from death should have been particularly touching, and people should have more and stronger emotional reactions.

But before Wo Xiu got back his memory, he had been with this person for so long as a cat without knowing it. Suddenly, his memory went back, and this day was more like a comedy for him. He accepted the memory while being shocked. , while accepting the memory, at the same time, he was constantly shocked by how he would dig a hole for himself.

After all, when the person in front of him finally closes his eyes and falls asleep, at least during the few hours when this person falls asleep, except for a little restriction on movement, there will probably be no new dilemmas lurking in the next second, Wo For the time being, Xiu couldn't fall into the pit he had set in advance.

The two thoughts of "I seem to be lucky to have survived" and "This is a memorable reunion" came to my mind belatedly, trying to arouse people's emotions by making gestures.

Emotion says, "I'm fucking tired."

Ya Huiquan didn't become "a big person", but he really had a great sense of existence, just like the arm that he firmly occupied the "pillow" after falling asleep, he strongly occupied all Wo Xiu's attention today.

Wo Xiu followed Yahuiquan's mood ups and downs for a day. Before he finally had time to pay attention to other things, he searched through his emotional inventory. He had no choice but to find that he really seemed to have nothing but peace. Attitude to face up to two things that should be exciting.

"I'm back," he thought.

The warm breath still fell gently on the top of the head, and the pajamas were thinner than the daytime home shirt, and when the person pulled the "pillow" back hard, his chest was also pressed against his chest, and this posture was almost intimate.

However, "Pillow" is only silently counting his heartbeats.

"I'm back indeed." Wo Xiu thought about the matter again.

He confirmed this by the heartbeat of Yahuiquan.

He does come back, and upon his return meets a man.

Everything else seemed insignificant compared to this, in this space where only silence and tranquility should exist.

Yahuiquan woke up early the next morning according to his biological clock, and unexpectedly found that the "cat alarm clock" was out of order today. He was already ready to get up, but Li Dandan was still lying between the stacked quilts, paralyzed into a woolen strip, suspected to be fine. It was a dream, and there was no intention of waking up.

Ya Huiquan observed the sleeping cat for a while.

He tried to touch the cat's ears.

The fluff on the round ears trembled.

He tried to pinch a cat's paw again.

The cat raised its paw without any complaints. The quality of sleep was quite high, and it continued to sleep.

In the end, the man didn't hold back, and stretched out his finger to tap the cat's nose.

The cat sneezed and opened his eyes... Wo Xiu, who had only slowly fallen asleep in the middle of the night, was woken up.

"Are you awake?" Ya Huiquan quickly retracted his hands as if nothing had happened, as if he wasn't the one who made the noise, and said, "It's okay, you continue to sleep."

Wo Xiu: "..."

People who don't get up when they are human will not become cats when they want to be cats.

Ya can wake up the cat with his ability, and the cat has no temper with his ability.

When Ya Huiquan went downstairs after finishing his simple wash, he found that the cat, which was still drowsy before, had arrived at the breakfast table ahead of time, and the dinner plates for both humans and cats were already in place.

After missing the "cat alarm clock", he still has a cat's breakfast today.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" Baili's voice sounded, full of concern.

When the electronic housekeeper made his voice, a small fully automatic coffee machine was stretching out its short arm, adding coffee to Yahuiquan's cup. He subconsciously thought that Baili was asking himself, and was about to question the AI's professional level. , Said which eye of yours saw me as if I didn't sleep well, suddenly he realized that Baili was probably asking the cat, and urgently swallowed the question back.

In the next second, the small coffee machine turned to the high chair, changed the program in the background, and poured half a cup of dense zero-sugar cat cream into the cat cup.

"A little bit." Wo Xiu knew Baili's scanning ability well. In front of the AI ​​that specially upgraded the program for the cat, any lie about the body value was meaningless.

He took a good look at Nai Shuang, accepted the fact that he was being breastfed by this family by default, and thanked Baili by the way.

"Baili." Wo Xiu said after thinking quickly for a few seconds, "I want to see the full set of scan data of your record later—the part about me."

"No problem." Baili replied happily, without asking the purpose of the transfer.

This is something the owner can check at will in the program settings of the electronic housekeeper, and the AI ​​doesn't think there is any need to hesitate in this request.

Next to him, Yahuiquan was accompanied by the cat forcibly waking the cat up. He felt a little guilty and guilty, drinking his coffee in silence, and communicated with the nagging cat again without asking Baili. What, he didn't go into Baili's "no problem".

"Your participation time is 09:30 in the morning, and the venue is located in the Expo Center of the Cultural District." The electronic housekeeper who wrote down the cat's request turned to the person, and Baili reminded Yahuiquan, who was not in a hurry, "The Academy of Arts and Sciences Vice President Ning sent you a private invitation. Before today’s ancient civilization exchange expo with the theme of deep sea relics, he wants to invite you to the administrative office of the center at 08:30 to meet with you in advance. , the reason for the invitation is 'I want to talk about some old topics'."

Catching the keyword of "deep sea ruins", Wo Xiu raised his head and saw Yahuiquan's hand holding coffee, and he was also taken aback.

But obviously, the reason for Yahuiquan's pause was very different from that of Wo Xiu. He raised his eyebrows, and the relaxed and peaceful feeling on his body receded a little. He repeated the last few words in Baili's notification: "Chen Nian topic?"

For so many years, Ya Huiquan and the Academy of Arts and Sciences have had no intersection. What he does and what the cultural commissioners of the Academy of Arts and Culture believe in are like two worlds, two parallel worlds that have no intersection with each other. Wire.

The Academy of Arts and Sciences wants to send someone to chat with him about "old topics". No matter how you look at this matter, it can only be that after more than 50 years have passed, the other party may take him as a signal that he is suddenly willing to attend the cultural meeting. and the entanglement of the previous generation to test him.

"You agreed for me?" Yahuiquan asked Baili.

He didn't even read this personal invitation. It was sent during the break yesterday, and it was directly handed over to the electronic housekeeper, and the artificial intelligence decided for him whether to browse and reply.

Baili would tell this on purpose, indicating that the other party must have read and replied.

"Yes, master." The electronic housekeeper who knows the master well said that he is worthy of the "AI version of me" label that Yahuiquan put on him, and he handled it very well to suit the master's wishes.

He said: "Let me tell Vice President Ning on your behalf that you will try your best to arrive at the office and meet with him before the official start of the exchange meeting, but considering that you are really busy with business recently, the designated meeting time at 08:30 may not be guaranteed. If there is a slight delay in time, please forgive him."

"Yeah." Yahuiquan finished listening, and continued to drink his coffee and eat his breakfast in a leisurely manner, and directed Baili by the way, "Notify Lu Siming, let him leave half an hour later."

The reason why he agreed to the invitation has nothing to do with the Academy of Arts and Sciences itself. It is entirely because the theme of this issue mentions the deep sea ruins, which he and that person jointly discovered by accident.

Yahuiquan has always been relatively impatient with people and things that he doesn't care much about. The other party specifically mentioned the previous generation, holding the so-called old things in his hand as a hook to lure him forward, but unfortunately, so Over the years, he probably inherited the thin genes of his parents who died young. He felt that he was very cold and cold. He only focused on the present, and he neither cared about nor thought of the people in the "old things" who were almost barely remembered.

Suddenly there was a fuzzy feeling on his hand, Ya Huiquan quickly came back to his senses, and found that the coffee cup was still in his hand, and the mouth of the cup was also kept at a slightly inclined angle, but just now, he unconsciously walked away with the cup for a moment.

The cat came over at some point, and Li Dandan hooked his wrist with its tail. Just now, the cat pulled his hand out.

"Your coffee was about to spill just now." Baili interjected at the right time, explaining the cat's behavior.

Ya Huiquan put down his cup, lowered his head and patted Li Dandan's head.

Three or ten minutes later, when Lu Siming, who postponed the departure time according to the command of the officer, arrived at Ya's house and was waiting for the officer to board the car in the foyer, before departure, Wo Xiu was ready to watch Ya Huiquan go out, but unexpectedly Seeing that, Yahuiquan didn't go to the door immediately, but turned around and went upstairs, and opened the door of a guest room on the second floor.

This is before going out, want to use the bathroom at home again?

Wo Xiu is not sure whether Yahuiquan has this relatively common little obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, the time it takes for General Ya to go in and out is too short. Visual inspection may not be enough for people to untie his neat belt. Wo Xiu was really confused, and then he realized that someone who just entered the guest room for a look was walking towards him. .

"I just remembered." Ya Huiquan stopped in front of the cat and said, "Did you not go to the bathroom yesterday?"

Ren was a little worried about this sudden abnormality. Anyway, he was not afraid to let the people from the Academy of Arts and Sciences wait. He also reached out to pick up the cat from the sofa cushion, groped the cat's belly carefully, and pressed around the lower abdomen.

Unable to bear the sudden care at all, the cat slowly stiffened into a fluffy cat stick, like a cat duster made into a realistic cat.

It was not easy, because the cat was very stiff after being lifted up, the muscles were tense, and Ya Huiquan, who couldn't feel anything, finally let go.

"Baili." The worried person ordered the electronic housekeeper, "You should pay more attention to observation today. If the situation persists, make an appointment with the hospital. I will take you to the doctor directly after the meeting."

It's rare for Baili not to respond to the master immediately, the artificial intelligence said after deliberation: "But..."

"No but." Ya Huiquan said decisively, "This is a health issue."

After speaking, those who still had a schedule left in a hurry.

Tuliu Woxiu looked numb: "..."

"But you used the bathroom in the master bedroom yesterday." After Yahuiquan went out, Baili finally made up what he hadn't finished. Putting it on the cat's shoulder, "The young master's proposal really disrespects your privacy. Please rest assured that I will consciously shield myself when you go to the bathroom, and I will definitely not look at it on purpose."
