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

Wo Xiu boldly guessed that what Baili failed to finish was not too different from what he was thinking on that trail. It can be seen that he and Baili are really good brothers across species.

As for the good brother who was banned from talking, this seems to be the first time that the electronic housekeeper was ordered to shut up for a long time, and he could not speak again until he was notified of lifting the ban. As for him, he was directly taken into the living room by Ya Huiquan after entering the door , Yahuiquan raised his chin at the two single-seater sofas that were placed opposite each other, signaling him to choose one to roll into.

"I..." Wo Xiu didn't sit down, he just stood by the side of the high-back sofa, pressing his hands on the edge of the backrest.

He opened his mouth.

Ya Huiquan keenly sensed that Wo Xiu didn't want to wait any longer, before he had time to walk to the opposite sofa, he suddenly turned his head and interrupted Wo Xiu almost subconsciously: "Wait!"

Wo Xiu only uttered one syllable, then shut his mouth again, he gave up and walked towards the sofa, and turned straight to face his Yahuiquan.

"Let me ask." Ya Huiquan said after being silent under the light for a while, he stared into Wo Xiu's eyes, "I ask, you answer, don't lie, don't answer the question."

"Okay." Wo Xiu said.

Yahuiquan got the assurance, he pursed his lips lightly, but the first question took 5 minutes before he spit it out from between his almost straight lips.

He asked, "Are you the person involved in the Scarlet Angel incident?"

Wo Xiu replied, "I am."

"You are the five-year-old child in a family of three."

"Yes."

"...How many memories do you have of that time?"

"A lot." Woxiu paused, and he added, "I started remembering when I was two years old, what kind of toys I received when I was two years old, what kind of house I lived in, which corner of the house I liked the most, and where I liked to go I still remember which piece of grass outside the house to climb on, and regard it as the 'best territory' I think, so I am five years old, let alone."

Wo Xiu remembered basically all of them, and he spoke in a very calm tone, which was so peaceful that it made the listeners' hearts tremble.

When Yahuiquan's brain accepted these contents, he imagined without authorization. Following Wo Xiu's words, he tried to imagine that the two-year-old Wo Xiu was only a little big, but like a bouncing ball, not only going out every day Playing, even know which piece of grass is the "best site".

The picture is logically said to make people want to laugh, and it is enough to make people feel emotional, saying "You are really good at making troubles when you were young".

But in an instant, this imaginary picture was also set on fire.

"You have checked the cause and effect of the incident on the Scarlet Angel, tracked the movement of that group of pirates, and seen..." Ya Huiquan said here, he seemed not to notice, the slightly sharp tip of one side of the tooth scratched the inside of the mouth After passing by, he immediately tasted a little blood.

He swallowed the fishy smell before continuing: "Have you read the related news reviews?"

Wo Xiu paused for a while, longer than before.

There is a very retro small wall clock in the living room. It has a pendulum that swings regularly. As time goes by, it makes a small "tick".

The lights in the living room are not often turned on, and it is rare to turn them on today. Yahuiquan just realized that it is a warm yellow light, and the yellow tone seems to be a bit too heavy. Filter, with a texture like a retro oil painting.

The color temperature is warm, but the atmosphere between the two is not.

After the pendulum ticked at 130, Wo Xiu said: "Well, I have checked and followed up, all the official news reviews and personal speculations posted on social media, including completely speculative and unreliable nonsense, I have read , also tidied up."

Yahuiquan was speechless. He choked when Wo Xiu said he was the first to "check it out", and then forgot his original prepared response. Under Wo Xiu's affirmation, he suddenly lost his mouth and had nothing to say.

Wo Xiu seemed to think that it would be better to talk about it thoroughly. Such bit by bit temptation is a kind of emotional consumption. After all, there are some things that people have to pay attention to. I'm afraid I don't want to study private emotions in detail, they are sensible and human, they will line up to perish on their own, and disappear on the spot.

You must make it clear, otherwise, if you avoid them for a while today, they will continue to be quietly buried in the background of a relationship, which will corrode the foundation and sooner or later become an even more uncontrollable disaster.

"I know the most widely circulated inference." Wo Xiu violated the rules once, and he said without waiting for Yahuiquan to ask the next question, "They suspect that the pirate's news channel comes from the Star Alliance, and the list of suspects includes the late former Gao Senior Cultural Commissioner Ya Yisong, and his wife, Councilor Yu Jianyue."

Ya Yisong and Yu Jianyue——Ya Huiquan hadn’t heard anyone mention their parents’ names for a long time, so when these two names came out of Wo Xiu’s mouth, he heard them, but his first reaction was I feel unfamiliar, as if I was caught off guard and opened an old document, staring blankly at the old name filled in the electronic file.

Deja vu, but familiar to a very limited extent.

... It's not like hearing someone mention two people who are close to him by blood.

Yahuiquan was stunned for a moment, and after returning to his senses, he continued to understand what Wo Xiu said, and a corner of his heart suddenly "clicked".

He found that the thin rope on the hanging sword was breaking.

It's starting to fall.

"... When did you know?" Yahuiquan asked.

Wo Xiu looked at him and sighed lightly: "Ten years old."

Ten years old, compared to the current age of Commander Woxiu, it was really a long time ago, a very young age.

And this also means that the person in front of Yahuiquan had heard rumors and rumors decades ago, and "found" his enemy in the huge amount of information.

So……

Then when they met for the first time, they looked at each other across the silent gunpowder and camp gully on the border of Themis star region. What was Wo Xiu thinking at that time? To him, "Yahuiquan" was really just The enemy faction commander?

"I see." Ya Huiquan nodded after another moment of silence, and he looked at Wo Xiu.

After a while, he said again, "I understand."

Wo Xiu's hand on the back of the sofa relaxed, and he seemed to want to walk towards Yahuiquan, and his body language was already expressing his intention to approach.

"Don't move!" Ya Huiquan stopped him sharply.

The person who wanted to keep a distance stretched out a hand, signaling Wo Xiu to stand behind the invisible "safety line".

Ya Huiquan held Wo Xiu's affirmative answer, as if he was holding a key to open the secret box of memory. He traced back all the past between the two of them one by one, and finally saw that it was painted in another color at the starting point.

"You said at that time that you were here for the exam." Ya Huiquan kept a safe distance and stared at Wo Xiu from outside the boundary line. He dug out one detail after another that had already been foreshadowed, and his memory was adjusted to an unprecedented level. Quick, "This sentence actually has another layer of meaning, which is different from the regular 'examination', right? You take me as the goal and the reference line, but you always have one item more than others, because I am in your In his eyes, he is not only the commander of the opposing faction, but also the enemy who is mixed with the blood of your parents."

So including the "meeting ceremony" specially prepared by Woxiu, including the cultural field that was specifically mentioned——

"General Ya, I heard that your surname is very old..."

"This is a piece of information that is said to have been lost within the Star Alliance..."

There is no coincidence, behind each of these seemingly inadvertently linked family background, there are hidden hints that have not been made clear, it is Wo Xiu's cryptic reminder to Yahuiquan.

It's just that Yahuiquan didn't know anything at the time.

A huge sense of absurdity spread from the bottom of my heart, occupying my heart and sweeping my brain, Ya Huiquan looked at Wo Xiu who was ordered by him to stop at the same place, and felt that the absurdity was almost ridiculous.

He was evaluated by many people as AI. His emotional system seemed to be born with missing parts and stunted the day after tomorrow, so he became disabled with "hemiplegia", but it is a pity that no matter how similar he is, he is not a real artificial intelligence. , It’s not a bionic doll that can be operated in the background to close a certain functional sector at will, so in a body made of flesh and blood, Yahuiquan does have a beating heart.

Wo Xiu has an attachment to him that surpasses ordinary enemies, and his "exploration heart" seems to not only come from opposing positions, but he is attracted by the unconventional attachment, and he inevitably pays attention to the objects that are always in front of him.

Then he felt annoyed at first, and then felt that the other party's noisy was a bit interesting, and he carefully accepted all the "different" of the other party.

He might have thought...these were just based on something purer.

But he seems wrong.

The initial background of this relationship is so different, so are all the things extended from it later, are they all just a misunderstanding, a very ridiculous excess of self-consciousness?

Yahuiquan is naturally good at planning for the worst, and he thinks things in the worst direction almost instinctively.

Wo Xiu was stopped from approaching, and Ya Huiquan could see the young man's hand had slipped off the back of the sofa, and the other's hand was gently clenched by his side, his body was still in a posture of wanting to approach him but was forcefully interrupted .

They looked at each other in the air, and Wo Xiu moved his lips: "I..."

"You haven't answered me yet." Ya Huiquan cut off Wo Xiu's words, "I was asking you a question just now, but you haven't answered yet. Did you think that way at that time?"

The "don't lie" and "don't answer irrelevant questions" that he promised himself hung high above his head, and Wo Xiu could no longer deceive Yahuiquan, so he could only say: "Yes, but..."

Wo Xiu urgently added a twist to the voice.

"Yes is enough." Yahuiquan interrupted him again.

This time, Yahuiquan closed his eyes, he took a deep breath, he didn't feel restrained before wearing the dress all night, he even wore it for a multiplayer fight, but at this time, he began to feel that the dress The oppression of the shirt seemed to be shackles on the chest, and the semi-stand-up collar was tightly sewn around the neck, and it was matched with tidy ties, badges, tie clips and other odds and ends. His throat seemed to be buckled by a hand , making it almost difficult for him to breathe smoothly.

"...you hate me." Yahuiquan said calmly after another half hour passed, as if he was passing a sentence.

This is the conclusion he came to based on his worst assumptions, and this is also the conclusion he would like to believe because he is habitually planning for the worst.

He has already got the motive of "Wo Xiu hates him", and after exploring all the way, it doesn't matter if Wo Xiu deliberately deceived him, he quietly hid beside him as a cat, watching his behavior in the past few months like watching a joke Well, it all made sense, and he could figure out the logic.

Hatred is the motive, deceit and jokes are the motives.

Wo Xiu has no reason to have any unconventional feelings for him. It is because he thinks too much, and the people in front of him have not only once joked about his easy-to-think traits, he should have been alert to this long ago, realizing that doing so will cause trouble. To the risk, but indulge yourself, self-righteous into the abyss of overthinking, like a fool who goes astray and refuses to admit it.

So, it's time for him to pay the price for his paranoia.

"But if I hate you." Wo Xiu finally found a chance to speak, he said in the silence after Yahuiquan's sentence, "Why should I enter the core inner domain first and want to send you out?"

"Who knows?" Yahuiquan didn't care about Woxiu's "unauthorized answer" this time. Hearing Woxiu mention the core of the natural disaster, which can be called another "ptsd" of Yahuiquan, he immediately couldn't choose what to say. "Maybe it's your personal heroism that erupts, thinking that saving your enemy will make him remember you better than killing him?"

Wo Xiu's expression changed.

At the moment when he first opened his mouth, Wo Xiu seemed to want to reason with Yahuiquan, but when Yahuiquan mentioned "kill him" in a cold tone, the accent on the sharp word "killed" stabbed him. After wearing Wo Xiu's calmness, he seemed to be broken by the word to stabilize his emotional shell, and suddenly he couldn't maintain his "try to be calm" attitude in dealing with things, and he no longer cared about Yahuiquan's prohibition against him.

Wo Xiu's movements were so fast that Yahuiquan could capture the dynamic coordinates of six sides at the same time, but he didn't see clearly.

Ya Huiquan felt a rush of heat and approached him, as if he was suddenly embracing a fire in his arms. He retreated subconsciously, but he couldn't retreat because his shoulders hit the obstacle, and then his wrist sank.

Wo Xiu grabbed his wrist and pushed him against the wall next to the sofa.

Before him was a sudden sea—or perhaps sky.

Then he realized that it was Wo Xiu's very close eye.

The piece of blue parked in the iris is not as transparent as before. At this moment, there are turbulent waves and dark clouds. The surf waves roll up the dark sea water buried at the bottom, and the dark clouds are thick and dense, like a silent scene in the iris. hurricane.

There was a tingling pain on his lips, and Ya Huiquan struggled to get out of the sea hidden in his iris, and he only realized the second thing later——

With an almost ferocious posture, Wo Xiu still accurately captured his lips even as he retreated.

Their breaths intertwined, Wo Xiu's kiss brought out the unique impatience of young people, and it was like an attack, as if the beast finally attacked the hunting target it had been staring at for a long time, and the tip of its teeth accidentally collided on his lips, making He made a small cut, his breath was entangled, his lips and teeth were in such a hurry that it tasted like devouring.

Yahuiquan's wrist twitched for a moment, and he still had a free hand to grab Wo Xiu's shoulder.

But in the end, he hung his free empty hand back to his side, and the grasped wrist was pressed between Wo Xiu's palms.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the young man's palm was so warm that it was a little scalding, as if the "post-effects of becoming a cat" had continued to this day, making the other person's body temperature still high.

Of course, the breach brought out a bit of rusty smell, which was quickly transmitted through overlapping breaths, causing Wo Xiu to wake up suddenly, and then slowed down the rhythm.

He carefully put the tip of his tongue on the cut, as if using some kind of big cat's primitive method to help heal the wound.

Wo Xiu also raised his eyes quickly.

Yahuiquan's eyes were streaming out from under the slightly drooping eyelashes, looking at him quietly.

The warm yellow light in the living room is as quiet as Ya Huiquan's gaze, it still quietly falls on the two of them, and the hanging wall clock ticks.

Baili was silenced, and there was no one in the mansion for dozens of miles, so there was only one room where the furniture was furnished quietly, and they all gathered to watch their owners, who rarely visited the living room.

After a long time, under the sound of his heartbeat, Wo Xiu finally moved away slowly, still staring at Yahuiquan's eyes, keeping a distance where the tip of his nose could easily touch him.

"I've already answered so many questions tonight, let me ask one too, okay?" Wo Xiu rubbed the tip of Yahuiquan's nose vaguely, and said in a low voice, "Why is it 'remembered'? In your opinion, it will also be a kind of revenge?"

Wo Xiu's question is almost forcing someone who is not good at expressing himself to say the last sentence, trying to force out the sincerity that Ya Huiquan tried his best to hide.

Yahuiquan's shackled wrist moved again.

Yahuiquan was belatedly stunned and subtly ashamed by Wo Xiu's question. He seemed to have just been disconnected, and his brain fell out of his brain because of Wo Xiu's surprise attack - he could even go out and run a marathon What, at this time, these emotions that should have surfaced were perceived by him.

He didn't want to answer the question, but his muscles were tensed, and his core strength was ready to overthrow Wo Xiu.

The next moment, Wo Xiu changed his tactics on the spot and said without following the routine at all: "I like you."

Yahuiquan was robbed for a round and stopped.

A furry thing suddenly entangled up, hooked his leg reluctantly, and swept from the leg all the way to his stretched waist.

"The stabilizer is a bit ineffective." Wo Xiu's eyes only moved down for a moment, and he gave a soft "tsk" at a very close distance, and his breath blended into the breath of Yahuiquan.

That furry thing is the tail.

Still in the same posture as when he was breathing entangled just now, Wo Xiu still clasped Ya Huiquan's hand, and he trapped those who missed the opportunity to escape between himself and the wall.

The arc-shaped ears with a round of black velvet on the back stood between his hair, and occasionally turned silently as if they caught some movement.

He stared into the eyes of Yahuiquan, the temperature of the small boundary where the two of them were located was two degrees higher than other places.

His tail flicked around for a while, and finally wrapped around the other wrist hanging on the side of the cliff.

"Want to come and count the time with me, and see how many times I can have another emotion when I like you?" he said.
