I became the professor's cat

Two people soaking in hot springs in the pool, and a cat soaking in a basin floating on the water, both lay leisurely on their backs and looked at the stars in the sky through the glass window of the wooden house.

Such a leisurely atmosphere is very suitable for letting go, Zuo Nian's little excitement turned into a complete face turned into a daze, no one made a sound, just soaking quietly.

The basin Zuo Nianmiao used to take a bath was not too big, and with the water sinking, he could even stretch out his claws to paddle in the water, and simply turned over, resting his chin on the edge of the basin, lazily using the basin as a boat Afterwards, it swung around Fu Changlin, and then floated past.

180-degree appreciation of the beauty of his professor.

Fu Changlin leaned against the pool, originally intending to close his eyes and rest for a while, but the kitten was dangling beside him, and the waves of the water also slapped him round and round, and in the end, he was oblivious to his dangling back and forth. temper.

Opening his eyes, he grabbed Zuo Nianmiao's small pot boat, and looked at him with a helpless smile.

"Come on, Captain, don't row."

Just as Zuo Nian meowed happily, he heard a clatter beside him.

The originally calm water was rippling with waves, and before he could figure out the situation, the tub was violently jolted, causing the little cat to almost capsize.

The feeling of weightlessness and the water being splashed into the basin scared Zuo Nianmiao to quickly stretch out his claws to hook Fu Changlin's still hand.

If it really fell into the pool, half of its life would be choked if it didn't die.

It wasn't until Fu Changlin lifted the basin that Zuo Nian turned around with lingering fear, and Qiao Huanhuan beside him was thumping and swimming madly in it.

Fu Changlin: "..."

Zuo Nian: "..."

After swimming back and forth, Qiao Huanhuan popped her head up, wiped the water off her face and smiled happily.

"I'm about to fall asleep after soaking..."

Halfway through the conversation, the professor and his cat looked at him speechlessly, and their smiles gradually froze.

"What... what's wrong..."

Zuo Nian patted the water in the basin and yelled at Qiao Huanhuan.

——My little cat was almost killed by you!You still swim, you...

In the middle of speaking, Zuo Nian shook his ears and suddenly stopped speaking.

Fu Changlin's eyes changed at the same time, one person and one cat all looked at the door.

Qiao Huanhuan scratched her head in bewilderment, and followed their gaze.

nothing...

"boss?"

Fu Changlin didn't make a sound, his eyes signaled him to shut up.

Zuo Nian shrunk his ears and stared at the door without blinking. After a few seconds, he gradually relaxed his vigilance.

There was someone at the door just now.

Although he knew that this was a public place, it was normal for someone to be there, but for some reason, when he heard footsteps at the door, Zuo Nian immediately instinctively became alert.

The little kitten touched its wet fur, and for a moment couldn't understand what was going on with the chill just now.

Fu Changlin withdrew his gaze and looked at the kitten rubbing its fur.

"Let's go, go back."

Before going back, Fu Changlin dried his cat's fur. After all, it was still a kitten, and the most feared thing about taking a bath was catching a cold, so even though the kitten's fur was already fluffed up, Fu Changlin chose to wrap him in a towel on the way back.

The mountain fog at night gradually thickened, and the original dim street lamp looked like a fluffy dandelion.

When passing through the corridor, the passing clerk greeted them with a smile.

"Is there anyone else besides us these two days?"

Fu Changlin asked casually.

"Yes, I have."

The clerk chatted with him naturally.

"There is another guest who stayed the day before your arrival. He is probably here for vacation, and he is rarely seen going out."

Fu Changlin is not a nosy person, since he asked that question there must be a reason, Qiao Huanhuan answered with a knowing wink.

"I came alone, how boring, must be the kind of boring person?"

"I guess he came here to hide and relax. I met him once when he came. He is about forty years old. He looks very gentle and kind."

The clerk said with a smile.

"I don't know the rest."

Seeing Fu Changlin nod his head slightly, Qiao Huanhuan exchanged greetings with the clerk before returning to the room.

Thinking of Fu Changlin and Zuo Nianmiao's behavior in the hot spring, Qiao Huanhuan thought about it.

"The one you just discovered should be this person, right? I went to the hot spring and saw we were there. Are you embarrassed to go in?"

"Ah."

Fu Changlin answered absently, looked at the drowsy cat, stroked the collar of the kitten with his fingertips a few times, and his expression gradually softened.

After soaking in the bath and then being wrapped up and hugged back like this, the heat around her body didn't dissipate at all, and the kitten was so lazy that even the tip of its tail was yawning, yawning after yawning.

Fu Changlin brought Zuo Nianmiao's cat litter along with him, and put it near the bedside where he could touch it with his hand.

The cat's litter was stained with Zuo Nian's own breath, curled up into a ball and nestled in with peace of mind, and fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the nest.

When Zuo Nian became conscious, the surroundings were pitch black, except for the sound of his own breathing, there was no sound, neither light nor sound could be seen, only the chilling air made Zuo Nian tremble uncontrollably, and his fear was overwhelming. Spread out from the heart.

where is this !

Zuo Nian instinctively called out to the professor, but there was no meowing or human voice, and he couldn't make any sound.

Not only could he not speak, he couldn't even move, as if he was fixed somewhere, and his body didn't belong to him anymore.

Zuo Nian was about to cry, even though he couldn't see or hear anything, he could still feel the danger approaching him a little bit.

Until he was about to collapse, he finally heard Fu Changlin's voice.

"Left."

Zuo Nian almost jumped up from the cat bed.

After shaking with fried hair for a long time, he regained his senses.

I'm... having a nightmare?

Fu Changlin comforted him and helped him to smooth his hair, and the kitten came running towards him after regaining consciousness, trembling uncontrollably as it nestled in his arms, and meowed softly.

—Professor... I'm afraid...

Fu Changlin frowned, but his tone was still gentle. He hugged him and covered him with a quilt, comforting him one by one.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare, I'm with you."

Zuo Nian lay on Fu Changlin's heart, listening to his heartbeat, comforting himself over and over again, it was all fake, nothing happened...

His thinking was still confused, the dream just now was so real, he could feel everything.

There is the bitter chill, and the fear when danger comes...

Feeling the kitten in his arms pressing against him uncomfortably, Fu Changlin sighed, softly hummed the tune he had heard in childhood, and patted the kitty on the back, slowly letting him relax.

Fu Changlin didn't stop until Zuo Nian fell asleep again.

Fu Changlin pinched his flesh pad lightly, his mind was full of the phone call he received earlier.

"The person you asked me to check for you, I checked for you. This kid got into a taxi after coming out of the bar. I also went to investigate this taxi. The driver said that the kid was going back to school, but when he walked I asked him to stop on the side of the road halfway. But after the child got out of the car, the nearby monitoring was suddenly disturbed by a magnetic field, and nothing was captured. It took only five seconds, and I will not be able to find the whereabouts of the child after that.”

"Chang Lin, as a policeman, I think you need to explain to me what's going on? If this child named Zuo Nian is really missing, I will file a case for investigation."
