After my epilepsy, the entire entertainment industry shunned me like a snake or a scorpion.

The third cultural festival of Tonghua Village is about to come, and Yin Jiu and Yin Tongyao have been back for three days.

These days, Yin Tongyao would take Yin Jiu for a walk around the village every night. Yin Jiu had gone from drowning his sorrows in alcohol in the beginning to having a few cups every night to numb himself for a short period of time.

As long as it wasn't a big deal, Yin Tongyao would let her go.

After dinner in the evening, Yin Tongyao helped her grandmother prepare the raw materials for making wine. After Yin Jiu took out the jars and cans from the wine cellar, he found the leftover eggs from lunch in the refrigerator and planned to feed the little tabby cat.

But after searching the house with the eggs, I couldn't find the cat.

"Sister, Grandma! Did you see where that tabby cat went?"

Yin Tongyao, who came out holding a sieve, shouted twice, also looking a little surprised.

"It was here when we were having dinner just now, where did it go now?"

Because the little tabby cat was only a few months old, Yin Jiu brought it home because she was afraid it would starve to death outside. Now that the cat was lost, she was naturally anxious and angry.

At this time, grandma came out of the house and said, "Xiaojiu, go look outside. Don't tell me it was taken away by something. There are a lot of stray dogs around here recently."

There are many wild cats and dogs in the countryside, and in the summer evenings they always run around the streets in groups of three or five.

Those dogs are very wild and fierce, and will bite cats.

After hearing this, Yin Jiu didn't dare to waste time and immediately went out to look along the road.

This is the main road into the village. There are many vehicles and on both sides are fields planted with crops. The crops have only grown to the height of the calf. The visibility is limited at night, and the leaves sway when the wind blows. It always feels like there are things hidden everywhere.

"Ingots?"

"Yuanbao, where are you?"

Yin Jiu walked along the edge, calling out into the ground from time to time, hoping that a cat would come out from there.

But in fact, there is nothing here.

The second uncle of the Jiang family, who was passing by and had just returned carrying a hoe, saw Yin Jiu looking around as if she was looking for something, and called her in surprise.

"Hey! Jiang's daughter, what are you looking for?"

After looking up and seeing that the person coming was his second uncle, Yin Jiu stretched out his hand to measure the size of the cat and asked: "Second uncle, have you seen a cat about this long? It's mine, but I can't find it!"

Because she had been jogging all the way here, her breathing was unstable and she sounded a little panting.

"Is it a raccoon cat? It has a silver lock around its neck."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yin Jiu's original feeling of loss was instantly swept away when he heard it. He was filled with surprise and his eyes brightened. "Where have you seen it?"

"Yes." The second uncle smiled brightly and pointed to the end of the road. "I just came back to the village and saw a man feeding a cat."

"thanks, thanks!"

After expressing his gratitude, Yin Jiu immediately ran towards the village entrance, fearing that he would be a step late and the cat would be taken away by someone else.

I jogged all the way there, but was still a step late.

There was no one at the entrance of the village.

"Yuanbao?!"

Yin Jiu shouted in despair, what if the kind-hearted person just fed the cat and then left, and the cat found a corner to hide.

"Yuanbao, where are you?"

"Mimi?"

After shouting for a long time nearby, there was still no response.

Yin Jiu suddenly felt a little depressed.

She squatted under the shade of a tree in a daze, her head down, hugged her knees and stared at her feet, looking very sad.

meow~

Just then, a cat's meow suddenly came from overhead.

Yin Jiu raised his head almost instantly and looked in the direction of the sound, only to be met with a pair of eyes that could not be more familiar.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, her head buzzed, and the world seemed to have pressed the mute button at this moment.

She subconsciously took two steps back, and her heart began beating like a drum almost instantly, unable to hold it back.

For a moment, Yin Jiu could even clearly hear his own heavy breathing. Everything happened so suddenly and it was even more unreal than a dream.

meow~

The cat held in the man's arms meowed softly.

This sound brought Yin Jiu back to reality.

She looked up at the gloomy sky, which seemed like it was going to rain. She tried desperately to hold back the tears in her eyes, but found that she could not stop them. The tears could only roll around in her eye sockets.

"It's very well behaved. Do you want to take it home?"

Lu Cenyan stood opposite Yin Jiu. After not seeing her for a long time, he felt that she had lost a lot of weight. The cat in his arms was very quiet and nudged himself into Lu Cenyan's arms.

Yin Jiu sniffed and her voice choked. It was not until she heard Lu Cenyan's voice that she realized that everything was not a dream: "Why... are you here?"

Her voice sounded bitter and hoarse, with a hint of complaint.

Lu Cenyan raised his hand and used his fingertips to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't wipe them away completely.

The wind blew over, and Lu Cenyan subconsciously let go of his hand and put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly several times.

After waking up two days ago, the doctor examined him and confirmed that there was no problem. He waited for another day and then couldn't wait to come back to find Yin Jiu.

Not far away, Jiang Zhou parked his car on the side of the road. Seeing the two of them talking to each other, he just sat there obediently and didn't act as a light bulb.

Seeing that the other person was not feeling well, Yin Jiu immediately supported him as if he were facing a great enemy, as if Lu Cenyan was some delicate and fragile porcelain that needed to be well protected.

"You are just recovering from your illness, why are you running around?!"

Although the words he said were reproachful, every word he said showed concern for the other person.

"Won't you wait till I get back?"

"You are not happy." Lu Cenyan paused for a few seconds and then continued.

"Me too."

"I miss you so much, all the time."

Yin Jiu raised her hand and wiped away her tears. She couldn't even force a smile.

Lu Cenyan put one arm around Yin Jiu's shoulders and half-huggled her in his arms, resting his chin on her neck for a long time, not wanting to let go.

Yin Jiu hugged him: "Lu Cenyan, I miss you too."

Lu Cenyan handed the cat in his arms to Yin Jiu and tidied her clothes.

Yin Jiu held Lu Cenyan's hand tightly and refused to let go, fearing that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go home."

"it is good."

Jiang Zhou drove the two of them back to his grandmother's house.

The car stopped at the door. Yin Tongyao was the first to notice someone coming and immediately went back to call her grandmother out.

It was already evening, and no one had expected Lu Cen to appear here at the party.

"Brother-in-law, when did you wake up!?"

Lu Cenyan got out of the car holding Yin Jiu's hand, and his delicate and pale face seemed to be covered with a layer of coldness like frost and snow.

He looked in the direction of Grandma and Yin Tongyao and said, "Three days ago."

Calculating the time, it was actually the first day they came back.

"Let's talk inside."

It started raining outside. After everyone entered the house, grandma immediately boiled a pot of hot tea for everyone.

There happened to be an empty room in the house, three rooms for five people. Yin Jiu and Lu Cenyan lived in one room, grandma and Yin Tongyao squeezed in together, and Jiang Zhou had a room to himself.

Grandma turned around to clean up the empty room, and Jiang Zhou felt embarrassed and found an excuse to go out.

Perhaps she felt it was inappropriate to be a light bulb, and Yin Tongyao came out after a while.
