I became the professor's cat

In the early morning, Zuo Nian was awakened by the chirping of birds outside.

In the second half of the night, I slept soundly, but when I woke up, my head was still a little dazed, with the remnants of yesterday's nightmare.

He still remembered the musty air in the dream, suffocating and frozen around him, and then he seemed to hear a monotonous and unified "beep" sound from some kind of machine, including the danger slowly approaching around him.

He couldn't see anything, but every hair could sense the potential threat, but he couldn't move at all, not even flex his fingers.

Zuo Nian shook his head and hurriedly dispelled the nightmare.

When he was young, he loved to have nightmares, and sometimes he could even have several in a row in one night, but he had never dreamed so realistically that he felt a chill when thinking about it.

However, the night wasn't all bad.

For example, he woke up from the arms of the professor.

Zuo Nian was wrapped in Fu Changlin's arms, stuck to his side and listened to his heartbeat. The palpitations that were originally troubled by nightmares turned into sweet peace of mind.

Fu Changlin hadn't woken up yet, Zuo Nian moved out lightly, staring at his professor's sleeping face seriously.

He remembered the gentle and comforting little tune that the professor hummed last night, probably a nursery rhyme somewhere, full of warm feelings.

So even with that nightmare, he couldn't help yearning for the sense of security that he could rely on last night.

It's like catching a ray of sunshine.

Seeing Fu Changlin's trembling eyelashes and realizing that he was about to wake up, Zuo Nian quickly closed his eyes subconsciously. Now he doesn't want to wake up at all...

But as we all know, the kitten and the cat's tail are two kinds of creatures. Zuo Nianmiao conscientiously pretended to sleep in Fu Changlin's arms, but the tip of his tail uncontrollably brushed his professor's arm around him.

Fu Changlin, who was frowning and a little angry, was swept away into a faint smile.

He hooked the tip of the kitten's tail, and his voice was still low as if he had just woken up.

"Next time, if you pretend to be asleep, discuss it with your tail first. Your little traitor has already sold you."

The kitten's tail stopped shaking, and it froze for two seconds. It reluctantly opened its eyes, flicked its tail twice, and was held down by his paw angrily.

I don't know if I'm not a cat, but the tail...

It really has a mind of its own...

Fu Changlin was amused by his appearance, and scratched the little cat's nose with his tail, and got the cat's four paws to resist, with a waxy meow.

Calling it a resistance is actually a joke.

Seeing that his mood was not affected by the nightmare of the previous day, Fu Changlin felt relieved a little, followed the disturbed Mao Mao, nodded his nose and said with a light smile.

"Good morning, Zuo."

The breakfast at the homestay prepares a variety of staple food and side dishes, with a mountain atmosphere. Although there are no big fish and meat, it is another kind of richness.

But this has nothing to do with Zuo Nian.

After eating dried fish and chicken rice the day before, Fu Changlin was worried that he would not be able to digest well, so he made cat food with the milk powder at home for breakfast, and did not prepare extra meals for him.

Halfway through the meal, Fu Changlin's cell phone rang suddenly.

When he saw the caller ID, Fu Changlin glanced at Zuo Nian beside him, and looked at Qiao Huanhuan.

Received Fu Changlin's sight, Qiao Huanhuan swallowed the food in his mouth, and said to Fu Changlin knowingly.

"Boss, go get busy first. I'll stay with Ah Zuo and won't let him have trouble!"

Um?Where is the professor going?

The little cat, who was still buried in her meal, hurriedly raised her head.

Seeing that Fu Changlin had stood up, the little cat quickly ran two steps forward, but he was standing on the small table, and when he got to the edge, he could only look at his professor eagerly.

"Meow!"

—Can't you take me with you?

Feeling Zuo Nian's anxiety, Fu Changlin rubbed his head and said soothingly.

"Don't worry, I won't go far, just answer the phone."

Zuo Nian didn't make a sound, but still looked straight at him, flicking his tail a little irritably.

Rationally speaking, he knew that Fu Changlin should be busy, but Zuo Nian was flustered when he couldn't see the professor.

Yesterday's nightmare still affected him somewhat.

Fu Changlin knew this, so he didn't go out directly and let the bell rang.

"I can ask Xiao Qiao to bring you back in a while, can I finish the meal first?"

His front paws stomped on the table uneasily, and then he glanced at the phone that was still ringing, Zuo Nian did some mental construction for himself.

No, you can't be so capricious.

The little cat took a step back and meowed at Fu Changlin.

--it is good.

Fu Changlin smiled lightly, and touched his head encouragingly.

"good."

After going out for a while, Fu Changlin answered the phone.

"Have you contacted his parents?"

The person on the phone sighed helplessly.

"I didn't say that the child's parents didn't pay much attention to him. I contacted their local police station and told his father that the child might have had an accident. I can't contact him now. I asked him if he had any clues. It's normal. Parents must be impatient. Guess what his father said? He said that it is normal for him to be unable to get in touch. This child has been like this since he was a child. ran out."

The other party was a little angry and clicked his tongue.

"Do you say this is like what your father said?"

Fu Changlin looked at the restaurant and frowned slightly.

"He moved out in junior high school, why?"

"do not know."

The other side said.

"His father didn't say anything, but the policeman who came to the door said that his father didn't want to talk about it, and he seemed quite disgusted."

Fu Changlin was silent for a while, with a haze on his face.

"Are you sure they are his biological parents?"

The other party also sighed.

"Don't say it, it's really..."

After eating in the restaurant, Fu Changlin hadn't come back yet. Seeing Zuo Nian lying on the table sleepily, Qiao Huanhuan scratched his head and walked over to him and said.

"How about I take you back? The boss is probably in the house."

Zuo Nian immediately stood up, wagging his tail and meowing at him, which sounded urgent.

Qiao Huan smiled happily and wanted to hug him, but the kitten hid him and patted his hand with its paw.

——Just put me down, I can go by myself.

It's not that he hates Qiao Huanhuan, it's just that he feels a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, although Qiao Huanhuan usually looks like a fool, she is still very good at observing words and demeanor.

"I'll just take you down, and we'll walk back together, as if we're going for a walk after dinner, how about it?"

The little cat lowered its paw and responded with a meow.

It's not too far from the restaurant to the accommodation. Although Zuo Nian has short legs, he can't run slowly.

Originally, Qiao Huanhuan thought about going for a walk, but she didn't expect to have to chase the kitten, so she couldn't help but said again.

"Run slowly... Maybe the boss is still in the yard..."

Hearing this, Zuo Nian immediately slowed down, looking back and forth as he walked.

In addition to a few students who came to bask in the sun, there was a person wearing a mask standing near the gate.

Zuo Nian looked at him, this person should be the person the clerk mentioned yesterday.

He stood at the door, as if he was waiting for a bus. After a while, he took out his cell phone to check the time.

Zuo Nian suddenly stopped, looking at the things that fell out of the man's pocket.

It is a jade pendant.

The irregular white jade pendant was embedded with green veins, except for those veins, it was almost the same as the white jade that Fu Changlin was carrying.

Zuo Nian was shocked.

Is that my jade pendant? !
