1. What exactly are they?

Answer: They can be tigers, snakes, cats, dogs, any kind of animals, even plants.

2. Will they attack ordinary humans?

Answer: According to our current survey, most of them live in human form and will not actively attack humans. They may be your classmates, colleagues, friends, or even lovers who share the same bed. There is no need to worry about such things.

What needs to be guarded is that some people who were originally humans mutated due to some unknown reasons later. In case of accident, you can ask us for help in time.

The living habits and preferences of cat people are the same as cats. You can completely treat Ta as your family. Cats, and even cat people, have the same lifespan as cats.

5. Will they live to be hundreds, or even thousands of years old?

Answer: Humans will naturally age as they grow older, which cannot support them to survive for so long, and their life span may even be shorter than that of ordinary humans. We are still studying the specific situation, and you can always pay attention to the latest official announcement.

……

?Does that mean he might die early?

Pei Zhao read the text on the screen several times, his ears buzzing, as if a swarm of bees were flying around him.

Looking back on the day when I became a cat until now, the cat form does have obvious growth stages, and these stages coincide with the growth process of cats.

Could there be a possibility that when he in cat form enters old age and dies, Pei Zhao will die too?

Pei Zhao has never thought about this question. Death seems to be a very distant thing, and now it is suddenly in front of him, which makes him a little at a loss.

"Pei Zhao," Ning Zhi saw Pei Zhao's pale face when he came out of the back kitchen, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Pei Zhao shook his head and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, and said with a forced smile: "Suddenly I remembered that I still have something to do. You should do your work first, and I will come to you another day."

After hurriedly saying goodbye to Ning and leaving, Pei Zhao didn't go home immediately, but called Kong Huainan after going out.

He had to figure out the affairs of the scientific research institute. I am afraid that only Kong Huainan knew the inside story.

Unfortunately, Kong Huainan did not answer Pei Zhao's call.

Pei Zhao couldn't cheer up, and the consultation emails sent to the research institute were all gone, so he could only squat in various forums every day to inquire about the new progress of the X incident.

However, the information on the Internet was mixed, and most of the news that came out were proved to be false. Some posts were outrageous even Pei Zhao saw them, and there were very few of them that could be regarded as true and useful.

It caused a faint black cyan around the eyes, and the whole person looked haggard.

Ge Qiu thought that he was suffering from baldness because of the design of the Four Seasons series, knocked on the door at ten o'clock every night and brought in a glass of milk, telling him to go to bed early.

Pei Zhao promised happily, but his actions did not change.By the day Shen Du returned home, he had lost a lot of weight.

Passing by a flower shop on the way to pick up at the airport, Pei Zhao stopped at the door for a long time.

"Brother, do you want to buy a bouquet of flowers for your girlfriend?" The shopkeeper was spraying the flowers with a watering can at the door, and the water mist fell on the delicate petals, making the flowers more colorful.

With an embarrassed smile, Pei Zhao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, no need."

Speeding up his steps, Pei Zhao fled the flower shop in a panic.

After the New Year, the temperature in City S rose. Taking off the heavy down jacket, Pei Zhao wore a long black woolen jacket, with half of his face tucked under the turtleneck sweater, waiting for the passengers who came out of the exit after picking up their luggage with their hands in their hands.

"Excuse me, is this gentleman waiting for someone?"

When someone said something close to his ear, Pei Zhao subconsciously moved away in the opposite direction. After a second, he felt that the voice was very familiar. He raised his head to look at the person who came, and found that it was actually Shen Du.

"When did you come out?" Pei Zhao was taken aback by him, looked at the exit in front of him, and then at Shen Du emerging from behind, surprised that he didn't notice it at all.

"What are you thinking so seriously? You don't even know I'm going around behind you." The person who thinks day and night is standing in front of him at this moment, Shen Du rubbed the top of Pei Zhao's hair affectionately, and curled up a few strands of hair. Hair smoothed.

Pei Zhao rubbed his nose with an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, I might have been thinking about something just now, so my mind was distracted."

After finishing speaking, Pei Zhao took a box from Shen Du's hand, pulled the lever and walked forward.

Shen Du raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Zhao's back, seeing him dragging the box farther and farther, so he had no choice but to quicken his pace and follow behind him.

The two returned to Shen Du's apartment by car, packed their luggage briefly, and Shen Du took Pei Zhao to a restaurant near their home.

Ever since he watched the news that day, Pei Zhao had no appetite. Shen Du sensed his emotions, and when he saw that Pei Zhao was unwilling to speak up, he didn't ask any more questions. bowl of rice.

"When you're full, open it and have a look. I brought you a gift." Seeing that Pei Zhao had almost eaten, Shen Du took out a gift box from the paper bag beside him and handed it over.

Drying the corners of his mouth with a wet tissue, Pei Zhao took the gift from Shen Du in surprise and said, "For me? When did you prepare it?"

Shen Du chuckled, and said helplessly: "Since you were at the airport just now, you have been out of your mind. I carried this thing in my hand all the way, but you didn't notice it at all?"

Being exposed by Shen Du, Pei Zhao lowered his head in embarrassment and fiddled with the box in his hand.

Seeing that Pei Zhao still didn't intend to speak, Shen Du suppressed the doubts in his heart, pointed to the box with his chin and said, "Open it and have a look, I don't know if you like it or not."

The slender fingers pinched the ribbon on the gift box and pulled it gently, the golden bow was pulled away, the ribbon tightly tied on the box fell off, and Pei Zhao opened the lid.

The red scarf was stacked squarely in the box. Pei Zhao couldn't help but reach out and touch it. It felt soft and warm under his fingertips. He didn't know what material it was made of.

"This time when I go back, my grandma knits a scarf for me. I see that she still has a lot of wool left, so I will learn from grandma temporarily and knit a scarf for you."

Seeing that Pei Zhao's eyes finally brightened again, Shen Du felt relieved.

"The material of the thread is very good. I tried it and it won't irritate the skin."

Not knowing what to think of, Pei Zhao's finger touching the scarf froze, then put the lid on and put it aside, and politely said thank you to Shendu.

Seeing that Pei Zhao was unfamiliar with him, Shen Du frowned calmly.

Across a square dining table, they looked at each other in silence.

"Ning Zhi will bring his fiancée to my house to try on the dress in a few days, would you like to come together?" Seeing that Pei Zhao had no interest in talking, Shen Du took the initiative to find a topic to chat with him.

"You call me in advance when the time comes, and you will go if you have time." Pei Zhao felt that he should do something else to divert his attention, otherwise he would be immersed in low emotions every day, and there would be problems one day.

"Okay." Shen Du nodded.

Shen Du didn't intend to ask Pei Zhao to go along with the dress fitting, partly because the fitting process was cumbersome.

If there is something inappropriate and needs to be revised, with Pei Zhao's temperament, he must be tired within two hours.

On the other hand, it was because of Shen Du's selfishness, since he and Pei Zhao are now only a window paper away, the selfish possessiveness that should be there can still be released a little bit.

It's just that Pei Zhao's current state made him a little worried, and Shen Du wondered if it was Ning Zhi's approaching wedding that made him unhappy.

As soon as a thought sprouted in his mind, Shen Du shook his head to dismiss it, based on his understanding of Pei Zhao.

Although this person is occasionally naive and ridiculous, he will never rush to pursue himself without clarifying his previous relationship.

Shen Du can be sure that Pei Zhao has no idea about Ning Zhi now.

Guessing and guessing gave Shen Du a headache, and he finally understood why the chattering Pei Zhao started to get angry after he couldn't find the result when he was bored with something on his mind, and finally he had to coax him the other way around.

This feeling is really annoying.

"Have you not had a good rest recently? It feels like you are listless." Shen Du recalled the way Pei Zhao coaxed him when he had something on his mind.

Pulling over the stool and sitting beside Pei Zhao, Shen Du looked down at him.

"Yeah." Pei Zhao agreed vaguely, "Maybe because I always stayed up late to catch up with the design some time ago, and I always feel flustered during the day."

The panic is the truth, Pei Zhao didn't lie, but it wasn't caused by staying up late to catch up with the design.

"Is it because you are young that you are so unscrupulous? Do you think that your hair is so thick that you can bear it?" Shen Du looked like a serious reprimand on his face, but he was thinking about which supplements he should buy for him.

Sitting next to the person who was still thinking about it a few days ago, Pei Zhao lowered his head and secretly shrugged his nose, capturing the familiar aroma of shower gel and a faint smell of tobacco in the air.

"Didn't you say you quit smoking?" Pei Zhao's eyes widened, and he turned to look at Shen Du.

Shen Du said blankly: "Yes."

"Then why does it still smell like smoke?" Pei Zhao didn't believe it, and pulled Shen Du's left and right hands under his nose.

Being held by Pei Zhao's slightly cool fingertips, Shen Du's eyes softened, and he let him toss quietly.

"It seems that I'm not lying." Pei Zhao sniffed Shen Du's fingers all over, and indeed he didn't smell the strong smell of tobacco, and he didn't know where he smelled the vague smell.

Shen Du was pulled so that he half twisted his body, both hands were held in the palms of Pei Zhao, and he didn't even let go after smelling it, just holding it in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking again.

Pei Zhao's head was half down, and his thin bangs were scattered on his forehead. Looking down from Shen Du's angle, he could just see the thick black eyelashes curled up and long.

Shen Du remembered that when he was in school, Pei Zhao always had a little baby fat on his cheeks, and when he smiled, his eyes were curved together, revealing his white teeth, like a noble young master from a rich family.

Now that the young master has grown up, he has more things on his mind, the baby fat on his cheeks has faded, and he looks much thinner, but the nobility on his body has never changed.

Shen Du looked itchy, and bent his fingers to scratch Pei Zhao's palm.

Pei Zhao shuddered and raised his head, seeing Shen Du's half-smiling eyes, a blush appeared on his face.

"Shen Du." Pei Zhao called out.

"Ok?"

"Can you give me a hug?"

Let me see who is still working overtime on May Day?

Oh, it turned out to be me (trying to smile);
