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

The commemorative ceremony prepared for the guests at the cultural expo is a set of finely carved models with their own environmental simulators, which are divided into two modules: the seabed and the land. They can be placed separately for display, or they can be docked and combined. Together they form a complete Xiaohuangxing, coupled with the environment simulation function, can temporarily turn any space into a deep sea relic within a distance not exceeding the effect range, just like bringing people into that sea area.

Yahuiquan was busy before, and he didn't even open the packaging after the memorial gift was brought back. The carved model was packed intact in the custom gift box, and he forgot it in the corner of the room. One day during the busy period, he suddenly saw in the bedroom It was such a big box, and I wondered for a moment what it was. Why didn’t Baili take this kind of obstructive and road-blocking thing into the family warehouse? Zhizhi was very wronged, and told the young master who was really unreasonable and had amnesia: "This is what you said yourself, just put it in the room, let me leave it alone and don't move it."

Yahuiquan was taken aback.

The person who lost his memory was so busy that he remembered that he had indeed said such a thing.

On the day of the cultural expo, he was in a bad mood. He quarreled with Baili first, then went upstairs to "heal the cat" and fell asleep leaning against the metal chair by the window. As for the gifts he brought back from the expo, he At that time, I didn't have the mind to deal with it at all, so I put it in a showcase in the hall.

The next day, Baili used a small robotic hand to hold the gift box that was forgotten in the hallway, and came to ask the owner if it needed to be sent to the family warehouse. It was received together with other routine gifts that Yashang would definitely receive during the New Year and holidays.

Ya Huiquan reacted to the gift box for a moment, remembering where he brought it back, he paused, and then said: "No, you take it upstairs."

Baili said: "Okay, young master, is it the study upstairs? I can clean up an area in the study to display this gift."

"No." Ya Huiquan paused again, and he rejected the artificial intelligence's proposal to help him unpack the gift box, "Send it to the master bedroom, you can find an open space to put it, and then don't worry about it and don't move it, I will come by myself when I am free look."

Baili naturally carried out his master's request well, so he turned around and took the gift box upstairs.

The master said that he would come and see it when he had time, but he was waiting until people simply forgot about it.

And on the night when Baili was wronged for no reason, Yahuiquan was busy with business, and he still had two urgent documents submitted in the middle of the night, and he needed to arrive at the base an hour early the next morning. The time was so tight that cats couldn't read it In the past, so that night, the customized gift box was finally remembered, and Ya Huiquan still had no time to open it to see the details.

The hard-working Baili asked: "Did you change your mind and want me to take care of the gift boxes for you?"

"No." Yahuiquan came back to his senses. He leaned half against the wall of the corridor, turned his face sideways under a corridor wall lamp, and cast his gaze into the open door, which fell on the person who was disgusted by him a few minutes ago. On the gift box that got in the way, he said, "Keep putting it away."

"Understood." Baili said.

The electronic housekeeper also reminded the host: "I hope you will not forget your words next time, and don't forget this gift that you obviously cared about but ignored twice in a row."

"..." Ya Huiquan straightened his back, turned around and stepped into the door of the master bedroom again, "Would you like to talk more?"

He did not forget the gift box for the third time.

This evening was still free, Yahuiquan finally opened the gift box that had been placed in the corner of the master bedroom for a long time, and took out the model inside.

When the cat came back from downstairs, Yahuiquan had already adjusted the parameters of the environment simulation. He fully adjusted the effect of the underwater module, and the whole room was shrouded in dark blue light and shadow from the floor to the walls.

Only in the area from the top of the wall to the ceiling, the simulated projection of the "Land" module falls on that area.

Letting people sit in the center of the room is like sitting on the bottom of the sea. When you look up, you can see the seawater with light and shadow gradually changing according to the level. Above the seawater with the lightest color and the brightest light, you can see the land swaying with the water waves.

The cat seemed to stop at the door for the scene it saw, silently observing the changes in the room, so the half-open door destroyed the effect of the environment simulation, and the corridor light flowing from the door crack made the "deep sea" bright.

Yahuiquan didn't make a sound, he just raised his hand towards the door, signaling Li Dandan to come over, he knew that his cat was very smart and could distinguish the meaning of his movements, Li Dandan could even distinguish the same movement in different occasions difference in meaning.

The cat didn't disappoint him. Soon, Li Dandan, who was moving again, not only continued to walk lightly into the room, but also flicked his long tail, and carefully closed the door.

It is to close the door before walking towards people.

"The model is not bad," Ya Huiquan said when the cat jumped onto his lap.

Li Dandan's eyes shone brightly in the low light environment.

Ya Huiquan hugged it: "But the simulator is just a simulator after all."

In the real deep sea, the light is even dimmer, and you can’t see your fingers without lighting. The gradient of seawater cannot be accommodated in a room.

"When the power system was repaired for the first time, because the energy consumption rate needed to be controlled, the backup energy was only at the level of a 'half bucket of water', so the power submarine drove for at least two hours before we left the complete darkness." Ya Hui Quan touched the cat's back, and he raised his head slightly, looking at the "land" above his head, "When I see such a light-transmitting shallow water layer, I still subconsciously feel a little noisy."

It seems that the light and shade have nothing to do with the noise, and people are a bit out of line.

Li Dandan also raised his head following the people, and the cat let out a soft "meow".

"I don't understand why the light is bright and you think it's noisy, do you?" Ya Huiquan moved his hand on the cat's back along the warm hair, and he stroked Li Dandan's head again. A person who whistles from the start has surprisingly good lung capacity, he can whistle all the way like a solo recital, I guarantee that you will have a headache when you see this picture from now on, and you will immediately think of his magic sound filling your brain."

Li Dandan: "..."

"So." The man said again, "I really have no choice but to talk to him."

Yahuiquan said "It's so noisy", and the sentence "I can't help it" should be a complaint of dissatisfaction.

But a cat with good eyesight can see that there is actually no sign of displeasure on this man's face.

The reason why Wo Xiu sat beside him and whistled for a long time was Yahuiquan's own fault. When they were about to approach the shallow sea area, Wo Xiu looked at the distance displayed on the panel and wanted to share with him the "recovering the light" "Happiness.

He also said: "I know you definitely won't engage in high-five celebrations, General Ya, let's talk about the head office? We will see natural light again soon, share your current mood?"

General Ya had a stern face, suddenly lost his hearing and aphasia, so he didn't care.

Yahuiquan is indeed not a person who can do "high fives" with others. He didn't have this kind of experience when he was a child. It has become his instinct, his habit, and his fixed label.

He doesn't get close to people, refuses excessively close physical contact, shoulder-to-shoulder and shoulder-to-shoulder behaviors of the same nature as high fives are all his "minefields".

Even Wo Xiu's idea of ​​"sharing your feelings" seems to be a difficult problem for Ya Huiquan.

He doesn't know how ordinary people share their emotions, and he doesn't understand why ordinary people share joy and excitement, pain and troubles, others can do it easily, and "sharing pain can halve pain, and sharing happiness can double happiness" statement.

He is like a clam that has been closed for too long, which is ridiculous. Because the gap has not been opened for many years, it has just grown closed, and he himself does not know how to open it.

So he ignored it.

Wo Xiu was not like the one who retreated resentfully when encountering the cold in Yahuiquan, he had his own way of adjusting.

Yahuiquan ignored him, and he looked at Yahuiquan with unsurprised eyes, and then whistled to entertain himself, as if he could have fun with himself.

"Does the heterogeneous gene you carry belong to the bird?" Yahuiquan was forced to open his mouth by Wo Xiu, and he was neither deaf nor dumb under the whistle of "Rejuvenation".

"Why do you say that?" Wo Xiu didn't care about the previous cold reception, he asked in a casual tone.

"Because I've only seen a bird that can chirp like you, and keep calling tirelessly." Ya Huiquan said angrily.

The genetic attributes of the commander of the special forces have always been a mystery. It is said that they are kept secret even internally, and few people in the foreign alliance themselves know what Woxiu is.

Ya Huiquan deliberately used "You are a bird man" to anger the other party, with a pun.

But Wo Xiu still didn't shut up in anger, instead he let out an "oh" and gave Yahuiquan a sympathetic look.

Yahuiquan: "...what are you doing?"

"It hurts a little." Wo Xiu shook his head, with a regretful and distressed expression on his face, he said, "General Ya, you are ten years older than me, and we are all the same age according to the longevity of people on the ancient earth. Not too young—why do you still have so little knowledge?"

Yahuiquan: "..."

Noisy is not noisy, the birds are gone.

However, General Ya was rebounded by his mistaken attack, which made him angry.

He was really annoyed at the time, thinking more than once whether he could push the person next to him into the sea.

He himself never imagined that after a long time after this incident, one day when he thinks about it again, he will still feel noisy...but he also feels a little nostalgic.

"Last time I said that there are not many people who can let me talk casually." In his own room 17 years later, Ya Huiquan hugged the cat, looking at the transparent sea under the simulator, and the light and shadow flowed from his eyes.

He said to the cat: "One Baili, one you, and one this one."

He was silent for a while again: "However, this one left the stage a little early, so it is usually removed. He ran too fast himself, so I can't blame me for not counting him."

Li Dandan moved, and the cat was vaguely stunned, as if stunned by the information he had obtained.

Yahuiquan didn't notice the abnormality of the cat, and his attention was still on the projections all over the room.

"Do you know why I want to look at the gift box today, and open a non-office whole-house projection in the room like recalling my childhood?" He said, asking the cat a question.

Li Dandan was still stunned, and the cat couldn't answer human words.

So people ask themselves and answer: "Because of you."

The cat finally recovered.

The man lowered his head slightly, and the cat met his eyes.

For a moment, Li Dandan almost thought that Ya Huiquan had discovered something, and the simple three-character answer from the other party shocked him without a trace.

But of course Ya Huiquan hasn't discovered the cat's biggest secret yet. He said it's because of the cat because of another reason.

It has not been too long since that small embarrassment, and the signals conveyed by the senses are always the most direct and enthusiastic. All the places densely distributed with superficial nerve endings are just a little stimulation, which will bring irreversible shocks to the physiological functions. triggering a cascade reaction

Yahuiquan was caught off guard by the cat at that time, and he was brushed across the side of his neck in the most relaxed state.

It was also later that he came out of the bathroom with a body full of cool steam, and he realized that the behavior of the cat may only account for 60% of the source of this embarrassment.

Another 40% is attributed to the memory suddenly awakened by the cat's behavior during the half-dream and half-awake period.

It is also a relatively narrow sleeping space and a dimly lit environment.

It seems to be the same drowsiness, the consciousness is also blurred and trapped in sleepiness...

Wo Xiu has a very miraculous characteristic in the eyes of Yahuiquan, that is, this person has excellent adaptability to the environment. The first night they started sleeping together, Yahuiquan endured it for almost five hours with his eyes open. The bed area is limited, and there is no room for people to toss and turn after stuffing two adult men. Not only is he awake for a long time, but he can only maintain a fixed position stiffly, which is very tortured, and he feels that he is not resting at all. , was practicing, and finally approached the end of the "lights-off time", he only fell asleep in the last three hours, barely ignoring the body temperature of another person who was only a short distance away from him.

In stark contrast to Yahuiquan, Wo Xiu slept fairly well on the first night, sleeping in a stable flat position until dawn at the base.

It took at least a week for Yahuiquan to catch up with Wo Xiu's adaptation level on the first night. After adapting, he admitted that the person next to him was not noisy after falling asleep, had no bad sleeping habits, and his sleeping position was not bad. The body temperature is used... the effect is not bad.

There is just one more problem.

Wo Xiu likes to lie on his back, and occasionally turns over. This person often turns over on his side in the mattress, which often causes Ya Huiquan to see his face when he is not paying attention.

Yahuiquan is not used to being able to see people at close range after waking up before going to bed, every time he accidentally catches a glimpse of Wo Xiu who is turning sideways, he will suddenly feel slightly and weirdly uncomfortable, which is very inexplicable.

After another two days of adjustments, he found the most suitable way for the two of them to get along—no matter which side Wo Xiu slept on at night, he would always sleep on his side, with his back facing this person.

Anyway, he basically didn't move when he was sleeping, and since then he has relieved the trouble of seeing people.

Then that night, the body temperature and breath of the people behind suddenly got closer.

Not only did Wo Xiu roll over on his side into the mattress, but his arms naturally came over and hooked on his body through the blanket.

They are about the same height, the gap will not exceed two centimeters, and there is no problem in exchanging clothes with each other.

With a similar height, Wo Xiu, who suddenly began to hug someone while sleeping, leaned over. He just lowered his head unconsciously, and the tip of his nose was only a few centimeters away from the back of Yahuiquan's neck. .

Yahuiquan opened his eyes.

The air mattress will be enough for two adult men, and there is no way for the hugged person to distance themselves, and they can only turn back into the arms of the person behind them.

He couldn't get up either, unable to get out of this sudden embarrassing situation.

Because the person in the back didn't wake up at all, rash actions would wake up the other party instead, and the embarrassment would be doubled when the two of them faced the embarrassing situation together.

The light is dim, and the sensory images other than vision are infinitely enlarged in the dimness. People who are forced to wake up can hear the slight sound of sea water surging in the distance, and they can also hear the breathing of people behind them.

He could feel the low temperature of the bottom of the sea, and the cold and humid air brushed against his exposed skin, and he could also feel the body temperature of that person, the warmth of a wrapped iron on his back.

The thin air current still slightly moved the back of the neck.

Obviously there is no substantive contact, but it also makes people want to shudder involuntarily.

Yahuiquan quietly watched the darkness ahead for a while.

He closed his eyes again.
