"A cat's life is really leisurely~"

When a brown-yellow-white shamisen walked past me with slow steps and then fell on a heated manhole cover to enjoy the sunshine in the early winter afternoon, I couldn’t help but feel a little thin on my body. The windbreaker wrapped his body tightly.

After November, relying on a nylon windbreaker to keep out the cold is not enough from a practical point of view.But let’s not talk about December in college, even if it is postponed for another month, you can still see the beautiful and cold female students wearing flesh-colored stockings and fleece skirts standing in the wind and waiting for others.

As for me, it's just that as a foreigner, I didn't expect the winter in this city to be so cold.

Standing and shivering in the cold wind, I wish I could have a fur like a cat to keep out the cold, so that I won’t have to endure the pain of freezing hell before buying a down jacket.

"But, as expected, it still doesn't work."

I squatted in front of the cat, stroked its soft jaw, felt the faint warmth from its body, and sighed.

Humans really shouldn't have fur, right?Not just for summer, but for cleanup and sanitation.

Moreover, after all, humans have evolved into what they are today over thousands of years. Although it is not perfect, there must be a reason for it.

The reason why human beings were able to occupy the apex of the food chain during the tens of thousands of years of natural selection is that no one can explain clearly the sacrifices they made.Therefore, it would be too irresponsible for me to try to modify my nearly perfect genes to imitate the design of other slightly inferior races just because the cold is unbearable.

However, it was only when I realized that I was describing cats as inferior races, which is a serious sin.

After all, I still like cats more than dogs, and it can be said that I am half a cat slave.Even at home in my hometown, there are three cats. Although two of them were adopted by my sister on a whim and thrown to me irresponsibly, I still treat them as my own treasures.

Thinking of this, I took out the ham sausage I carried with me from my bag, peeled it off and put it in front of the shamisen.

The cat seemed a little confused because of the reason I stopped stroking. Seeing the food I took out, she just sniffed it and squinted her eyes again to ignore my existence.

But I put the ham sausage next to the cat with a mean expression like every cat lover.

Cats are such proud creatures, they obviously rely on human charity to survive, but they don't show any gratitude to human beings at all.It's a pity that this happens to be the way of cats' survival. It is precisely because of their intimacy with humans and occasional domineering character that masochistic cat lovers, including me, love cats. The cat family can't put it down.

In other words, who is at the top of the food chain, humans or cats?This seems to be a more worthy question.

From the perspective of size and intelligence, although humans are not the best size in nature, it is no problem to win an overwhelming victory in comparison with cats.What's more, human beings claim to be the most intelligent animals in the world, and they are also superior to cats in intelligence.But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be like that.

The status of the so-called food chain is about the same as the status of a single human being in human society, right?

From the perspective of human society, in addition to the fixed indicators based on human species such as height, weight and appearance, a person's ability to handle affairs, communication skills and background also greatly affect the individual human beings in the whole society. position in.

To measure the status of an individual human being in society, it is often necessary to see how much social resources this person can obtain by virtue of his own strength.

If the reference of these "soft indicators" is extended to creatures other than humans, then as a race that has no advantage in size or intelligence, a pet cat can obtain more comfortable living conditions and more Delicious and healthy food, state-of-the-art medical technology and even hospice care, to name a few.Isn't this just a good-for-nothing male protagonist in a light novel who has achieved nothing but has a harem?

In other words, cats have a much higher social status than ordinary people in every sense.

If I say this, biologists will probably denounce me as a magic stick, but I have to think that maybe cats have evolved more advanced than humans.Cats have mastered rational thinking that does not require violence or even intelligence. Instead, they use "cuteness" and "elegance", which are advanced humanistic qualities that humans have evolved for hundreds of thousands of years, to conquer those who are superior to themselves in terms of body shape and intelligence. A much stronger human being.

And, the cat didn't pay anything for it.They are just like now in the cold winter, in the busy campus when the end of the semester is coming.While lazily basking in the sun, he yawned and squinted his eyes with the mood of "stupid human beings" and despised the human beings who came and went in front of them and were tired of running around for their future, career and emotions.Naturally, there will be masochists like me who will come and ask for warmth, slack shoulders and backs, offer food that I can't bear to eat, serve them submissively, and enjoy all the fruits of human civilization since the industrial revolution.

Just when my thoughts were drifting away, Lord Shamisen seemed to feel sorry for my hands that were red from the cold in the wind, and gently rubbed his head on my hands, and then used the small belt to reverse Hook's tongue tasted my finger.

The slight pain from the thin calluses on the finger side that has been holding the pen for many years and the warmth of the cat's tongue quickly spread throughout the body like a bolt of lightning, as if it was magically removed in an instant, from the soul to the body. The body relaxes.The sense of happiness that even the thinking ability has been deprived emerges from the bottom of my heart, dispelling the problems I was still thinking about just now and the troubles caused by the calculus exam in recent days.

"Sure enough, cats are the cutest animals in the world..."

Just as I was expressing emotion, a small and very close voice came into my ears.

"cute?"

Shan Shangchuan, who started squatting next to me at some point, said these two words in a slightly puzzled tone.

Although I'm used to Shan Shangchuan's non-existent disappearance, I was still taken aback by her sudden appearance, and sat on the ground with my body tilted.

I have been thinking, if Shan Shangchuan was a boy, he would definitely join the basketball team with such a strange low-presence talent, right?

Senior Shan Shangchuan unexpectedly did not apologize for her reckless behavior, but stared at the cat seriously, as if she saw something very curious.

Shan Shangchuan, who tilted his head, was aiming at the lazy cat with his mobile phone lens, and this behavior was not because he wanted to take a picture, but as if to measure something.

"Height 38cm, foot length 18cm, tail length 30cm, weight 7.6KG, garden cat, non-folded ears, three colors, unknown parents, mixed race." Shan Shangchuan mechanically exposed the cat's data, and then turned his head I, with double ponytails tilted to one side due to the tilt of my head, and there is a hint of doubt in my eyes behind the thick glasses.

"You're trying to ask, 'Do these stats indicate cuteness?'"

Shan Shangchuan nodded slightly.

"No, no, that's not what it means at all. The cuteness of a cat can't be quantified by data. At least it can't be quantified by its length and weight. If you have to say it... in the cat selection contest, it seems to be based on the glossiness of fur color , body shape and so on~ But I don’t care about that, as long as it’s a cat, it’s already cute…”

Shan Shangchuan listened to my explanation with a blank expression and didn't seem to understand. After a short thought, he raised his mobile phone and pointed it at the cat. This time I clearly heard the shutter sound of the camera.

I came over curiously to see what Shan Shangchuan wanted to do with that photo.

To be honest, this kind of curiosity is inevitable for everyone who has seen the "water control system".

When you wake up from a coma for a day and find that a set of pictures of ghost stories with yourself as the main character that have been processed without any PS traces have spread all over the campus, you will definitely be curious about how it was done.

Each picture comes from a different sharer, and the sharing path is completely different, and the publishers of these pictures are also clearly marked as reposted, and everyone on the transmission node seems to be a real individual. Non-bot accounts, an intricate web of delivery that makes it impossible to trace the original posters of these photos.It was as if in an instant, the hotspots in the entire community were replaced by people.Although this is nothing special in the eyes of ordinary people, as a half-tech geek, I still know how difficult it is to trigger a flash-like Internet hotspot that cannot be tracked.

Shan Shangchuan didn't mind me peeking at her mobile phone screen, I saw that she was operating the mobile phone at a fast speed, opened the browser to log in to the mobile version of the social networking site, and directly entered her account.

Then, I uploaded the photos I just took on the Internet, and the abnormal picture I imagined did not appear at all.

For example, there is no such thing as saving multiple account passwords on the login page of the browser.

Although I may have thought too much, but I can't blame me. Since I took out the so-called console from Shan Shangchuan's body in the last ceremony, my affection for Shan Shangchuan has changed from the original favor. turned into curiosity.

This is not to say that I will alienate Shan Shangchuan because of that incident, but it is quite impactful to witness that the senior I have a crush on is not human.

But compared to Senior Sister Tian Yu, although I completely trust her, I have never had any curious thoughts about them.Even including Bai Anshun, although I still have a lot of things I want to ask him, but every time I see him, I feel that it is better not to gossip so much with my friends.As for Shan Shangchuan, it was probably based on my personal affection for her and her mysterious and wordless temperament, which made me unable to resist the urge to be curious.

Shan Shangchuan stood up after posting the picture, as if he still wanted to say something.But after opening his mouth several times, no sound came out.

"What's the matter, can you text me?"

In fact, I didn't have any urgent business to leave, but I just felt that Shan Shangchuan would be much more relaxed if I said that.

Sure enough, Shan Shangchuan nodded silently, then turned and disappeared into the teaching building.

And I continued to pretend that nothing had happened and squatted down to tease the cat.

Although I'm not in a hurry, it's absolutely impossible to play with cats and dogs on campus all day long at such leisure.After all, the advanced mathematics that I was already unable to keep up with became more and more out of control after missing two weeks of classes due to that incident.Now that the end of the term is approaching, I have to deal with it by burning lights every day.

However, since I woke up this morning, I wanted to be with a cat no matter what. This feeling is similar to that after I suddenly want to eat a certain food, my brain will keep playing the taste and sound of this food repeatedly regardless of the occasion. look like?

Fortunately, the campus of University C is very open and never restricts the entry and exit of animals.Because there are many animal protectionists in the school, the school also set up feeding points in some places.So I had no trouble finding this slob.

However, I always feel that adding wild animal feeding spots in the school seems to be a bit of a violation, but I haven't thought of what went wrong so far.

Probably because these feeding points not only provide food for the wild cats on campus, but also find a good place for wild dogs around the campus?

Although as a not extreme cat party, I don't hate dogs.However, the kind of wild dog with dirty coat, skinny body, smelly body and fierce eyes when it sees food cannot make people feel pity anyway.

It is said that in some countries in the world, there are animal protection laws specially formulated for domestic animals and stray animals, which stipulate the rights of stray animals including non-wild animals.

Obligations and rights should always be relative, but I really don't think these meatballs can bear any obligations other than being cute.But fortunately, for someone like me, just being cute is enough to pay the price.

"As expected, cats are good, happiness or something... is an obligation~"

I petted the cat, and the cat seemed to purr happily in response to my appearance.

Just when I stood up contentedly and was about to leave, the back of my neck suddenly tightened, and my whole body lost its center of gravity.

"what……"

I screamed and leaned back, only to find that I didn't lose my center of gravity because my legs were paralyzed after squatting for a long time.Because for a moment, I felt my whole body was suspended in mid-air.

Until my feet landed on the ground smoothly, I still haven't accepted the fact that just happened - I was just picked up by the man in front of me with one arm and put back on the ground.

The cat seemed to be taking small steps towards the bushes in the distance because of my struggle, and the tall man who just shot at me just blocked my sight.

Huh?Is this guy a student?

My first reaction was that I was being dragged up by a teacher, but when I looked carefully at the man, I found that he had a face about my age and a row of earrings on the pinna.

I don't know if it's natural or intentionally dyed. The blue-gray hair makes me think it's an elderly person, but when I look closely, the hair color is uniform gray, not gray hair caused by old age, and the hairstyle is also very perverted. Stand up like a lion.

He was wearing a black leather jacket with loose denim and leather boots.He is two heads taller than me, and his shoulders are also unusually broad, but his figure does not make people feel uncoordinated. Instead, it makes people feel that this person has received good training.If they didn't meet in this situation, it would probably give people a sense of security, right?

With the distance we are now, I have to look up to see his expression clearly.

However, I still wish I hadn't seen his expression better.

His bluish-gray eyebrows, which were the same color as his hair, were furrowing together, and he looked at me with a trace of anger in his eyes.

"Boy, don't get so close to the cat, this is my advice to you."

Well?what is this?I was a little annoyed by this sudden warning. Although if the fight really started, even if the opponent was an ordinary human, I might not have a chance of winning, but wouldn't it be too weak to swallow my breath here.

"Do I know you? Or do you know the cat?"

The tall athletic boy did not respond to my rebuttal, but bent down and picked up the ham sausage dropped by the cat from the ground, put it on his mouth and bit off half of it in one bite.

Hey, what's going on?Are you here to find trouble because of jealousy?

The boy didn't care at all that the ham had been thrown on the ground for a long time. He continued to stuff the ham into his mouth and said to me:

"It doesn't seem to be you~"

The boy's mouth was full of food, and the contemptuous look he gave me from the corner of his eyes under the height difference made me feel even more insulted.But the boy didn't take my feelings into consideration at all, and continued talking nonsense.

"You're lucky this time, next time you don't do such misleading things."

After finishing speaking, the boy left the leftover ham sausage skin on the ground, turned and left.

"Hey... wait... what happened just now?"

I stretched out to the boy's back, but found that it was empty. When my hand was about to touch his shoulder, he suddenly accelerated his pace.At the same time, the two right hands were brought together and made a gesture of goodbye to me.

I chased a few steps in the direction of the boy, only to find that the boy walked to the main road in front of the teaching building with big strides, pulled the back seat of a car with a minimum configuration of 60 yuan, and sat in it, leaving me alone People are at a loss in the cold wind.

Wasn't that... just now a human?

Because the other party was too flamboyant and had a different style of behavior from the other people I knew, so I hesitated instead.

But anyway, thanks to him, my good mood disappeared like a running cat.So it is worth setting out for the study room with a heavy heart.
