wake up daydreaming

After the cat moved into the apartment, the frequency of Chen Yuqian and Yu Zhou's video calls skyrocketed.

As the owner of the house, Yu Zhou has the right to ask Chen Yuqian to live broadcast the whole process every night when he goes to feed the cat and change the litter. Will give some strange hints.He wanted to see Chen Yuqian more than cats licking their paws and flipping their bellies.No matter what time Chen Yuqian came to the apartment that day, Yu Zhou could always delay him before and after the door of the dormitory.Chen Yuqian was thin-skinned, he was embarrassed to get rid of the housekeeper aunt several times, so he lived in another room of the apartment as a matter of course.The small boat cat that expands the territory also likes to go to the bedroom with Chen Yuqian. When Yu Zhou on the other side of the screen has just finished the night, or just woke up after sleeping for a few hours, Chen Yuqian is about to fall asleep, with white and long hair The cat was already lying next to his pillow, purring as regularly as white noise.

Chen Yuqian's work and rest routine, even if the environment is changed, he will consciously fall asleep when the lights are turned off in the dormitory.Yu Zhou didn't intend to disturb him, so he cut to the chase and said, "Take a post."

Chen Yuqian pointed the screen sideways at the sleeping cat next to him, which meant that if any movement was made, the cat would be woken up.Yu Zhou simply opened his voice and shouted loudly: "Hey, Xiao Zhou, get up and find the male mother!"

Yu Zhou's voice came out of the earphones.The cat's ears moved, it opened its eyes and yawned big, woke up, but not fully awake, its front paws alternately sat on the pillow and stepped on the milk, Yu Zhou gave the official voice: "Look, it I also want to stick it."

Chen Yuqian: "..."

Chen Yuqian turned the camera back on himself, without showing his face, and lifted up the hem of his pajamas.

Yu Zhou let out a satisfied sigh, but soon felt that Chen Yuqian was boring, and he needed to give precise instructions before slowly posing in other poses.The standard end of the phone play is that Chen Yuqian asked him if he had any troubles recently. Yu Zhou first said no without hesitation, and after denying it, his speech speed became very fast. He said what he thought of and said Chen Yuqian. Make a tree hole to talk.Yu Zhou never used pronouns such as CFOCECOO, but called everyone by their first names rigorously. Chen Yuqian didn't remember a few, and roughly concluded that the longer the surname, the higher the code level. Without them, Yu Zhou, who is only responsible for providing ideas and speeches, is like a polished commander, so after Yu Zhou's new exchange agreement is negotiated, Yu Zhou will definitely be the one with the most serious share dilution.Yu Zhou only revealed his worries when he communicated with Chen Yuqian alone. He had a premonition that this project would not develop in the direction envisioned, just like... It was like they initially hoped that users could recall themselves in a certain year under the guidance of DreamWeb. The key plot in the dream on a certain day of the month, and continue to explore, but after tracing the source, it is the advertisement embedded in the business side, which is simply surprising.

Chen Yuqian is not a professional, and never interfered with any of Yu Zhou's decisions. He made a rare suggestion, would Yu Zhou be happier if he didn't accept the million-dollar investment from the hedge fund?

The answer is of course yes.As long as Yu Zhou is willing, he can definitely get the money from other sources, as long as he mentions whose son he is.Yu Zhou said firmly: "Then I would rather ask for money from strangers."

Chen Yuqian could understand his desire to prove himself.

"It's really difficult to accomplish something." Yu Zhou seemed to be retreating, and he was short of someone to say, then come back, I miss you very much.

However, Chen Yuqian didn't understand the style.Yu Zhou asked him: "Do you remember that I promised you during the summer vacation that I would only stay in Northern Federation for one semester?"

Chen Yuqian said: "You are needed more over there."

Yu Zhou: "..."

"Indeed. Let alone the student winter vacation, I don't even have time to go home for the Spring Festival." Yu Zhou twitched the corners of his mouth, and was about to hang up the video call in anger when the cat rubbed against Chen Yuqian's neck again and moved forward. The paws stepped unconsciously in sleep, not knowing that what they touched was alpha's gland.

"It's a cheap boat." Yu Zhou said sourly, and could only watch Chen Yuqian lying on his side, with his hands gently on the cat's back, as if he was hugging himself.

U University winter vacation lasts for one month.Chen Yuqian was reluctant to put the cat in a pet shop, so he called Li Li in advance to ask if he could take the cat back.Before moving into the high-rise commercial housing, Li Li and Chen Tengfei had never kept pets, and their concept of pets remained as cats and dogs under the dining table in the countryside.Chen Yuqian said that he would book a special car from U City to T City on the taxi-hailing platform at that time, and the price fluctuated around 800. Chen Tengfei's face was suddenly unhappy, and he couldn't help but interject: "[-] yuan is enough for you to drive the car back and forth Four times, time-consuming still slow, unnecessary."

"Can't you find a bus to check in?" Chen Tengfei is a reasonable person, "Yes, the family does not lack this money, but for the sake of a beast, it is not necessary."

Chen Yuqian heard Li Li muttering beside him: "Then you can drive to your son's school yourself."

Chen Tengfei was not happy: "You just bought a car, why don't you go?"

"It's not like you don't know, I'm an electric car for transportation, and it can only run 120 kilometers with a full charge, and it's out of battery before I drive to U City!"

"Okay, okay, I won't take a special car." Chen Yuqian was afraid that his parents would quarrel over this matter, so he quickly gave in.The final plan to bring the cat home is that Chen Yuqian also bought a bus ticket.According to regulations, the cat’s air box can only be placed under the car where the luggage is placed. These four hours of bumps seem to have destined the cat to continue to be wronged in Chen Yuqian’s house, and the cat’s range of activities is limited to the living room and bathroom. Chen Tengfei said: "There is nothing to be wronged. Give it food and drink and let it loose. It's too late to be happy."

Chen Tengfei has a heart of tofu in essence, and he said that he didn't want to see this cat. Chen Yuqian secretly released the cat from the bathroom, or carried it back to his room in the middle of the night. evaluate.Half a month later, the cat was able to move about in the living room openly, under the same roof. Chen Tengfei tried to interact with the cat, calling it by name and throwing a piece of shrimp skin to it, but it didn’t work. In response, he couldn't help but educate Chen Yuqian: "You might as well have a dog. People treat dogs well, and dogs know how to wag their tails at people."

Chen Yuqian imitated the way Yu Zhou, who had dog ears and a dog tail, squinted and smiled at him, and was almost so shocked that he couldn't even eat.Chen Tengfei continued to compare this cat with other animals: "It doesn't matter if you raise a chicken, and you can harvest an egg every day. If you shovel the cat's shit every day, what will the cat give you in return?"

Chen Yuqian did not refute. After all, his name was not written in the house book. If Chen Tengfei ignored the relationship between father and son, he could drive himself and the cat out together.Li Li could more or less feel Chen Yuqian's negativity, and comforted him: "Wait two days after the banquet is over, go to your grandma's place to stay for a while, and bring the cat with you. Your father is out of sight and out of mind. Also clean."

Chen Yuqian forced a smile.He knows that this is the most suitable method at the moment, but it is not the best.His grandma came from that era. If she knew the price of canned cat food, she would definitely give the cat leftovers with soup.The stray cats in the villages and towns can find these from the trash can, which means they have eaten a big meal. The blood of Xiaozhou cats is no different from these wild cats struggling to survive. Chen Yuqian can completely imagine his father's arguments from grandma's mouth Say it, even if you don't say it, it will be hidden in your heart.

Raising a cat in his own way is so constrained, Chen Yuqian had to think more deeply, what kind of changes he should make in the next college time, what kind of internship and part-time job he should look for, so that he can be calm The burden is to use my own money to book a special car to take the cat back and forth between the two cities.

He will also think about these questions when he eats the New Year's banquet.Every night, he would accompany his parents to different restaurants and meet different relatives. After being praised for his grades and appearance like a brand-name bag, Chen Yuqian sat at another table with his mother.When the women and children at the same table started playing with their mobile phones bored, the table where Chen Tengfei was sitting had just had a round of alpha wine, and there was still a long night to brag about the cow hides he had saved for a year.

At this time, the electric four-wheel drive car Li Li just bought this year came in handy.There is no need to wait for the husband to enjoy himself, and the mother and son can go back first.

Chen Yuqian said goodbye to the elders one by one, saying that he would leave with his mother first, and a grandmother who was about the same age as his grandmother suddenly grabbed his hand and chatted with him about cats.

"I heard from your father that you picked up a long-haired white cat from school. It is quite beautiful, but it has a bad temper and is not flattering." Grandma taught Chen Yuqian her many years of experience in raising cats. From now on, I have raised five or six native cats. "The native cats are the smartest. I don't need to train one or two, and they will step on the toilet by themselves... Hey, does your toilet flush automatically? You can hold the cat up, and then hold its tail and shake it in front of the sensor, the more times, it will understand, and there is no need for people to dispose of the cat litter for it.”

Grandma was chattering, as if she had opened a chat box that had been closed for many years, catching Chen Yuqian to output it.Chen Yuqian was very polite and listened quietly. Grandma suggested that he play more games with the cat, hide ping pong balls in paper cups, ask the cat to guess after changing the order, and give snacks as rewards for the right paws. Obedient like a dog.

Chen Yuqian thought for a while and said, "It looks disobedient, but it's also quite cute."

"But your father doesn't like it." Grandma poked at the table full of alphas.Chen Yuqian looked at his father who was talking and laughing among the men, and said firmly, "It's enough for me to like it."

Grandma's expression didn't know whether it was relief or worry, and she shook Chen Yuqian's hand again.When I was still in the village, all the free-ranging cats raised by my grandmother were stolen, and the only cat that was brought to the high-rise apartment in the city disappeared a few years ago. Chen Yuqian asked her if she had sealed the windows, and the grandmother looked serious , and looked at the table of alpha, her wife was drinking red face, very happy.

Chen Yuqian asked Grandma where her family lived, and if he should drop her off on her way home.The grandma declined, and turned to mumbling to her son who came back from the checkout, saying that the Chinese New Year has lost the flavor of the new year, and they don’t even prepare the reunion dinner by themselves, and put it in the restaurant...

Chen Yuqian and Li Li came to the parking lot.He consciously opened the door of the driver's cab. Li Li said that the car was too small and she could just drive it. Chen Yuqian said, "Now my symptoms of night blindness have eased a lot."

Li Li handed the key to Chen Yuqian.On the drive back, Chen Yuqian's left eyelid kept twitching for some reason. He told Li Li about his anxiety, and Li Li comforted him: "It's okay, the left eye twitches and the right eye twitches."

Chen Yuqian felt that this proverb was quite familiar, and when he recalled it carefully, he realized that he had remembered it wrong. Chen Tengfei said before that "the cats come to the poor and the dogs come to the rich", and these two sentences are quite symmetrical.

"Your grandma has been eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha all these years. She only wants to be clean, and she is not happy when her relatives invite her to a banquet. The day after tomorrow, after finishing the meal tomorrow night, you will take the cat to live with grandma." Li Li knows the current situation. Young people don't like visiting relatives. In contrast, Chen Yuqian is already very cooperative.Chen Yuqian never had an argument with Chen Tengfei because of the cat. In this family, they gave Chen Tengfei enough dignity as a husband and father.

Chen Tengfei seemed to want to get drunk with that table of alpha today. The mother and son took the elevator from the parking lot to the fifteenth floor. Once the door was opened and the lights were turned on, the living room was quiet.

"Xiaozhou." Chen Yuqian called out, but did not get any response.Until this moment, he just had a faint feeling that something was wrong. After all, cats have a keen sense of smell, and both he and Li Li inevitably smelled of Chen Tengfei.

"Xiao Zhou." Li Li also called out, put on his shoes and went into the bathroom in the living room, turned on the light and wondered, "Could it have run into your room?"

"Impossible, I deliberately closed the door of my room before going out—"

Chen Yuqian pushed the door lightly, without turning on the light, he could already feel the coolness of the night wind pouring in from the window sill.
