The cat that wakes up and becomes a rival

Shen Du put the lychee tea on Pei Zhao's table, then pulled out the chair and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The freshly brewed lychee tea was still steaming, Shen Du pressed the lid of the pot with one hand and poured the tea into the bowl, the sweet and sour fruity aroma immediately spread out.

While waiting for the fruit tea to cool down, Shen Du casually picked up a book from the table and spread it in his palm to read.

After reading a few pages, he felt something was wrong, so Shen Du closed the book and looked at the cover - "How to Conquer a Handsome Boy"

"Uh..." Putting the book back in place, the fruit tea on the table was still steaming.Adhering to the principle of not moving around without the permission of others, Shen Du got up and looked around, then opened the door and went out from the room.

The living room was really smoky.

Because the black ash in the fireplace needs to be pulled out, the workers spread a layer of plastic sheeting on the ground.

But even so, the black ash is still easy to get on the clothes or the soles of the shoes, and is easily carried to every corner of the house.

Ge Qiu hugged Daju in his arms like coaxing a baby, but Daju was restless, barking his teeth and claws, growling threateningly, like a bird that was invaded by a stranger without permission. Threatened tiger cub.

"Hey, why are you so fierce today?" If Ge Qiu hadn't stopped him just now, this little guy would have rushed forward.

Holding the big orange in his arms, he wanted to turn around and go upstairs to lock it into the house, but Ge Qiu looked up and saw Shen Du who had just come down the stairs.

"Why don't you stay in the house." Ge Qiu asked.

Shen Du said: "I heard voices outside, so I thought about coming down to see if there is anyone who needs help."

Daju in his arms was still struggling, Ge Qiu was holding him in an uncomfortable position, his skirt was wrinkled, he lost his temper rarely, but he just kept his face straight and said softly to Daju: "If you are disobedient, you will not be allowed to eat canned food tonight."

Seeing this, Shen Du said, "Why don't I take it to Pei Zhao's room and stay there."

"That's great," Ge Qiu hurriedly handed the little wronged seed in his arms to Shen Du, "Go and play with Brother Shen, so you don't have to mess with me."

The moment Shen Du hugged Da Ju into his arms, the guy who had been rambunctious just now immediately became quiet and obedient, with his small head pressed against Shen Du's chest, his eyes squinted and his face full of contentment.

Shen Du scratched Daju's chin, and said to Ge Qiu with a smile: "Is there another one? I'll take it with me too."

It's been a long time since I saw my little boy, and occasionally seeing the video sent by Pei Zhao, I feel that he has grown up a lot. I don't know if the little boy has forgotten his real father after so long.

"Only one?" Ge Qiu replied, "My family has only one, and I don't have the energy to take care of any more."

The smile on Shen Du's face seemed a little stiff.

"By the way, does your family also have a cat?" Ge Qiu suddenly remembered that she seemed to have seen it before, it was a little gray Maine Coon.

"No wonder you are so proficient in hugging the cat. You were still making trouble in my arms just now, but when you are in your arms, you will be obedient immediately. You can bring it over to play with me next time. This kitten in my family is willing to play with other kittens. "

The wider the smile on Ge Qiu's face, the stiffer Shen Du's smile became.

Pulling the corner of his mouth and smiling at Ge Qiu, Shen Du said lightly: "Auntie, then I'll take it upstairs first."

After returning to the house and closing the door, the smile on Shen Du's face completely disappeared. He knew that Pei Zhaoyi had something to hide from him, but he didn't expect it to be this matter.

If not at Pei's house, where did his cat go?

Shen Du put the big orange on the ground and let it walk around freely, and then pulled out the message box of chatting with Pei Zhao on the phone.

It can be seen from the retained message records that it was only one night since Pei Zhao sent him a cat video last time, and the location in the video...

Shen Du held up his mobile phone and turned around the room as if looking for a signal, his gaze stayed on the same bay window as in the video.

The cat was raised by Pei Zhao on his own initiative, and through the video, it can be clearly seen that the cub is very lively and does not look like he is sick. Shen Du really can't think of any reason why Pei Zhao would lie to him.

Shen Du was drooping his eyes and thinking hard, but he didn't even notice that the greedy Daju behind him had jumped onto the table looking for the aroma of lychee tea, ready to drink it secretly.

"Meow!!"

As soon as the fragrant fruit tea touched the tip of his tongue, the hair of the gluttonous big orange was blown up by the heat. He jumped up from the table like an electric shock, and frantically scratched his paws to escape from the scene of the crime.

The cup was overturned by the escaping big orange, and the steaming tea spread quickly on the table. Shen Du turned around and saw this scene, and quickly lifted the cup up, and then picked up the books stacked on the table.

"Come here and let me see, is it hot?" Putting the book on the ground aside, Shen Du waved to Daju first.

Squeezing his pink tongue to check around to make sure there was nothing wrong, Shen Du calmly picked up the trash can and tissue box to clean up the spilled tea on the table.

Fortunately, the teapot was fine, but the one he poured into the cup was knocked over, otherwise Pei Zhao's stack of books would definitely suffer.

After cleaning the tabletop, Shen Du began to check whether the books on the bottom layer were wet.

Fortunately, the book at the bottom is a hardcover version, and the casing is strong and waterproof. It can be wiped clean with a paper towel lightly, and there are no ugly stains left.

The thick stack of printed documents placed on top of the hardcover book is all loose A4 paper, with Pei Zhao's sketches and unruly fonts on it.

Shen Du moved the printed documents to the bay window and spread them out, one by one to check whether there was any part that was wet.

Spreading out the document, Shen Du's eyes were attracted by the content printed on the paper.

……

When the downstairs fireplace was finished, Shen Du came out of the room with the cat in his arms. Seeing that the things were almost finished, he helped to clean up and move the furniture back to its original place.

Ge Qiu felt very sorry, the family's children came all the way to visit her, she even asked them to help with the work, she simply cooked and prepared a table of dishes herself, and asked Shen Du to stay and eat before leaving.

Back home after dinner, Shen Du didn't change his clothes to take a shower, but went straight to the sofa and sat down.

Shen Du rested his chin on one hand and thought, his brows were thick and smooth, his deep eyes were slightly narrowed, and wherever his eyes touched, he could clearly recall the laziness of the little boy lying there.

but……

"Ding Dong"

Accompanied by the notification sound, the screen of the mobile phone played in the palm of the hand lights up, and a software update reminder pop-up window is displayed on the desktop.

[xx smart camera has been updated to the latest version, please log in to the account to connect the device again to ensure the normal use of the camera function, thank you! 】

Lifting his head to look at the monitor installed in the corner, Shen Du pursed his lips.

When Pei Zhao came out of Xiaoyang's house, it was already dark outside, and the early spring wind felt a little painful on his face. Pei Zhao shrank his neck and walked home with his head depressed.

The day to go to the scientific research institute is scheduled for next Monday. If there are no accidents, Pei Zhao can stay at home safely for the next two days, and don't have to go to Xiaoyang's house anymore.

Although they had made sufficient preparations in the past few days, Pei Zhao was inevitably still a little nervous.

When they got home, the family was eating fruit, watching TV and chatting in the living room. The laughter made Pei Zhao feel a slight pain in his heart.

In the past few days, Pei Zhao didn't smell Shen Du's body, and he always felt irritable, sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, but couldn't rest well.

Originally, I wanted to get out of Xiaoyang's house as soon as possible.He took advantage of sleeping at home for two days before going to the scientific research institute, but now seeing this scene, he couldn't move his feet no matter what.

"Yao'er is back, come and eat fruit together." Pei Yue waved to Pei Zhao with a smile.

If Pei Zhao had heard this title in the past, he would definitely have quarreled with Pei Yue, and then the siblings would fight together.

Today's Pei Zhao was not in a hurry to retort, but walked up to Ge Qiu and Pei Yue, squeezed his ass between them and sat down.

"Wow, people who haven't showered, please stay away from me!" Pei Yue jumped away in disgust, and ran to sit with Pei Yang.

Pei Zhao who was pushed away tilted his body and fell towards Ge Qiu.

"Don't come here, mom hates you too." With a smile, Ge Qiu supported Pei Zhao's upside-down body with his palms, and moved away.

There was no support on the left and right, so Pei Zhao simply let himself fall on the sofa.

"My parents don't love me, my brothers and sisters don't love me, I'm just a little cabbage nobody wants."

Pei Yi looked at his son lying on the sofa with a serious expression, hesitant to speak.

"Have you eaten the cabbage? I cooked a lot of dishes today and put them in the refrigerator. If you are hungry, ask Auntie to warm them up for you." Ge Qiu swallowed the grapes in his mouth and said to Pei Zhao.

When Pei Zhao heard that Ge Qiu was cooking, he jumped up.

"Is there a guest at home?" I don't know which distinguished guest can receive such honor.

"Shen Du."

Pei Zhao straightened his back unconsciously, and the back of his neck was blowing cold air.

If a mirror were placed in front of him at this moment, he might clearly see his blown hair.

After Ge Qiu ate another grape, he opened his mouth slowly and said, "It's because I spent the New Year abroad and I didn't have a chance to come to pay New Year's greetings, and I brought a lot of things, and it happened to be in time for the person who repaired the fireplace to come to help. A lot of work.”

"How can you ask a guest to clean up the house for you?" Pei Zhao muttered in a low voice while panicking.

Ge Qiu stuffed the picked grapes into Pei Zhao's mouth to stop him from speaking.

"Of course I know this truth, but I can't stop it. I might as well cook something for him myself. Remember to call him later."

"I'll call him later." Pei Zhao's bulging cheeks shrugged, and sweet and sour juice overflowed from the bitten grapes, filling his mouth.

"Then I'll take a shower first."

Pei Zhao didn't have the mood to continue to stay in the living room, and wanted to go back to the room to take a shower and call Shen Du, but after he finished packing and picked up the phone, he became timid again.

Why didn't Shen Dulai notify him in advance?

Did he ask about cats?

Just now Ge Qiu looked normal and didn't ask Pei Zhao about cats, presumably Shen Du didn't mention it.

What is he doing here?

Pei Zhao felt uneasy, thinking about how to respond in case Shen Du asked him.

Pei Zhao sat on the edge of the bed and wiped his hair, thinking about it. Daju, who ran into his room at some point, jumped onto the table and skillfully overturned the water glass.

"Hiss—" Pei Zhao walked over and pointed at Daju ferociously, "I don't know how to freeze-dry the little kitty!"

After driving the troubled Daju out of the door, Pei Zhao wiped the table dry, and then checked the wet books.

The book at the bottom was fine, but the printed documents above were mostly wet.

The dry paper absorbs the warm white water into the body, and the water stains spread quickly, swallowing up the traces left by the day.

Pei Zhao didn't notice it, so he glanced around. They were all the notes he made during the meeting with Kong Huainan, and they are no longer needed.

After clearing the table, Pei Zhao carried the materials to the shredder in the study and stuffed them one by one.

After cleaning up the files, Pei Zhao went back to the room and prepared to call Shen Du. He picked up the phone and found a lot of message reminders popping up on the screen. After opening it, he found that no one knew who had pulled him into the new WeChat group.

New news kept coming out, so Pei Zhao clicked in and turned on Do Not Disturb, then returned to the chat interface and pulled to the top to slowly climb the stairs.

The group is owned by Ning Zhila, and there are some familiar friends in it, mainly to inform them about the party the day after tomorrow.

Pei Zhao had no objection. It just so happened that he was going to the research institute on Monday, so what about the gathering on Sunday night.Think of it as a carnival before parting.

Lying on the bed and fiddling with the mobile phone, Pei Zhao's eyelids became heavier and tired, causing him to lose consciousness instantly and fall asleep, completely forgetting about the phone call.

On the night of the appointment, Pei Zhaoqiang went out with his exhausted body. In order to keep his complexion from looking too haggard, he even went to a stylist and asked the makeup artist to help him with a simple primer.

This is Pei Zhao's second time wearing makeup.

The well-groomed person looked much better, except that his cheeks were a little thinner.

Pei Zhao took out the pair of decorative glasses that looked like a thin rod, put them on, looked in the mirror, and left satisfied.

After arriving at the agreed bar, Pei Zhao discovered that the people who went to the appointment were not only chatting in the group, but also many familiar people. The scene was comparable to that when Ning Zhi returned to China. Became Ning Zhi.

After entering the bar, he met familiar faces, and Pei Zhao greeted them with a smile. Everyone wondered if he was losing weight recently, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"I'd rather starve myself to death than roll you to death." Pei Zhao joked.

Walking to the familiar booth, a group of old friends were shaking dice and drinking together. Seeing that it was Pei Zhao, they looked at each other and quickly moved their positions to keep a distance from Shen Du who was sitting in the innermost.

The lights in the bar were dim, and Pei Zhao could vaguely see a tall silhouette sitting in the deepest part of the booth. Even if he couldn't see the face clearly, Pei Zhao could still recognize that the person sitting here was Shen Du.

The news of Pei Zhao and Shen Du's reconciliation did not spread in the circle, only Ding Zishen and Ning Zhi knew about it.No matter how big Ding Zishen's mouth is, he will not spread Pei Zhao's private affairs.

In their hearts, Pei Zhao and Shen Du were still in a state of incompatibility, so they naturally wanted to keep a distance from Shen Du, lest the flames of war burn on themselves.

The laser light above his head flashed brilliantly and shone on Shen Du's body. His legs were naturally straddled on both sides, his elbows rested on his knees, his head was slightly lowered, his face was serious, and his slender fingers were holding the wine glass, shaking it with clear liquid inside.

Sensing the gaze above his head, Shen Du slowly raised his head, his deep eyes were narrow and cold, without a trace of emotion, he looked straight at Pei Zhao.

Thinking of Shen Du's visit to his house two days ago, Pei Zhao's blood froze in his body, and he stood there stiffly, unable to move like a lightning strike.
