Mao Jiu didn't expect this moment to come sooner than he expected, so fast that he lost his position in an instant, and all his emotions had nowhere to hide under the haste.

"..." Mao Jiu stood with his back against the wall, with his hands propped back on the window sill, and there was nowhere to retreat.Lin Luozhi walked here unhurriedly, even with a slight smile on his face, which should be extremely gentle, but Mao Jiu only felt fear.He watched the figure of that person enlarge in his pupils, and only a pale sentence remained in his mind:

He... knows it all.

Lin Luozhi didn't seem to notice his emotions, and didn't stop until there was almost no distance between the two of them.Mao Jiu stared at his toes, Wei Ying was right, he was worthless, just anticipating what might happen next, cold sweat broke out along with crazy heart palpitations.

Lin Luozhi stretched out his hand to caress his side face, and Mao Jiu's whole body became stiff—they had never had such a degree of contact since they became human.The air seemed to freeze. After half a minute, maybe a minute, Mao Jiu heard the sound other than heartbeat again. Lin Luozhi pressed against his ear and said in an extremely intimate gesture:

"Your eyes are golden, so beautiful, exactly like Cat Nine."

"Cat Nine likes things with a strong fishy smell the most, and you too. It hurts when you eat green vegetables, right?"

"Cat Nine likes to curl up in a ball when she sleeps."

"The cushion on the sofa is specially placed for Mao Jiu to sleep on. He likes to pick the thread on the edge. Do you also grab it when you are reading?"

"The most important thing is that there is a small scar under Maojiu's ear, which was cut on the edge of the bookcase not long ago. What a coincidence, you also have the same scar here."

Lin Luozhi's tone was very flat, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him, but Mao Jiu was completely at a loss.Lin Luozhi pressed his hand between his ears and the side of his neck, Mao Jiu raised his hand involuntarily, touching his fingertips together, and sure enough, he felt a scabbed scar there, the slightly protruding texture formed at this moment. irrefutable evidence.

Lin Luozhi turned her head, looked directly into Mao Jiu's eyes and smiled from bottom to top.

"You are Cat Nine, right?"

As if the final judgment had finally been finalized, the bayonet hanging above his head fell, cutting off all nerves.Mao Jiu panicked immediately. He grabbed Lin Luozhi's hand, eager to explain something, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was already hoarse: "I..."

Mao Jiu's hands were shaking, and he felt the throbbing pain of his veins, and the person he grabbed must have suffered double the pain.Lin Luozhi seemed to be unconscious, but pushed him away slowly and firmly, then took one or two steps back, out of his contact range.

"..." This action nailed Mao Jiu in place, and his palm suddenly became empty, just like his mood at the moment.

"Didn't you just say you want to go back?" Lin Luozhi stood in the room, holding the door frame and waving at him, as if it was just an ordinary farewell, "Go, be careful on the road."

"Lin Luozhi!" This was the first time Mao Jiu called his name, "Why..."

"Cat Nine." Lin Luozhi didn't wait for him to finish, and only called in a low voice, then lowered his eyes, showing a little fatigue, "Help me close the door when I leave, thank you."

Like a slow-motion replay, the door closed little by little before my eyes, and Lin Luozhi's figure disappeared little by little.Mao Jiu felt a deep sense of powerlessness swept over him, he clenched his fists, looked around the house where he had stayed for less than a week for the last time, gritted his teeth and strode out.

Why not become a human?Obviously I am still me, why not?I kept the question just now in my heart, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to ask it out.

Lin Luozhi stood with his back against the door, Mao Jiu's movements were very light, but the sound of the door lock snapping outside was still like a thunder, shattering the calm he had tried to maintain for a long time.He grabbed his trembling wrist and slowly slid to the ground, only to feel that his eyes were dark.

Gone, really gone... He also held back a bunch of questions to ask, which was even worse than Mao Jiu.Why is this so?Why should I know this fact?Obviously it would be nice to be a cat, with fresh food, a warm shelter, and being pampered without limit every day. You only need to act coquettishly and show off occasionally, in exchange for more willingness to give.Responsibility is one-way, and transactions are simple. Obviously this is enough, but why do you want to become a human being greedily?

The human world has always been too complicated for cats.When he knows that the object is a pet, he can pour love at will, pamper and confide at will. He only plays the role of a little angel, and any little action can be doubled, thus bringing psychological satisfaction.But once the object is replaced by a person, everything will be different.There are too many things to consider: is he willing to accept?Will he have other plans?What should I pay so much for in return?Wait, wait, wait, it's no longer a simple sentence or two that can be explained clearly.

This is the difference between pets and people.

Lin Luozhi squeezed her palms hard, feeling dizzy before her eyes, and her brain was almost starved of oxygen.Not only is Mao Jiu greedy, he is also greedy. In fact, he had fantasized about Mao Jiu becoming a human, and then he had a vague premonition, but he was still afraid when the real showdown happened.Yes, I’m afraid, for a person, it’s not enough to just provide food and drink. Maojiu will have his own thoughts, and will gradually develop an independent personality. It's the only one again.By that time, he might not be able to stay even if he wanted to.

Why wait until then?Lin Luozhi covered her face, couldn't help laughing, she couldn't breathe, and her shoulders were shaking: Mao Jiu is leaving now, she was driven away by herself.No, no, he would have left without this step, didn't you all hear that? "Go back", go back to where he should go, to find his original partner.Maybe Mao Jiu just disappeared, maybe they will never meet again.

Became...alone again.

Midsummer's tail fluttered, and it was still bright at this time.When the wind picked up, Mao Jiu put his hands in his pockets and walked forward silently, a faint blue-purple smoke filled his sight.But the passers-by didn't seem to notice at all. A child ran through the smoke, holding a balloon and leaving a series of crisp laughter.

"Look, mom! That brother is so tall!"

It was only then that Mao Jiu realized that he was out of tune with this world, no matter from which aspect.He looked down and found that he happened to be wearing the commemorative T-shirt that Lin Luozhi found for him on the first day. His eyes were full of bright forgiveness green, and the words "The xth Authors' Conference" were printed on it, which looked a little funny.

Ah, the shit shoveler bought fish again today. It was time to wash the fish. By the way, there are still onions left.Mao Jiu thought about it indiscriminately, and then realized that there is no need to do these things now, and twitched the corner of his mouth in self-deprecating manner.He learned how to handle all kinds of ingredients, learned how to tidy up the bookcases while sweeping the floor, learned how to wash clothes and how to shake them to dry after washing... He is finally not that bad dog who only knows how to eat and drink His temper is black, but what's the use, Lin Luozhi doesn't want him anymore.

Mao Jiu felt that the familiar aura was gradually disappearing with the distance. After the intense heart palpitation just now, there was only a kind of numb calm left.Although Lin Luozhi said to let him go, the look in his eyes clearly didn't mean there was no room for turning around, it was just that the incident happened suddenly and he couldn't accept it for the time being.

When I figure it all out, I'll be back, I'll be... home.

When Wei Ying appeared, he was taken aback. Mao Jiu was standing against the wall in a corner out of the light, biting a piece of dogtail grass in a daze. He searched for a long time before he suddenly found it. .Wei Ying heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he was going to regret it, so he went up and patted him on the shoulder forcefully: "I was thinking of waiting a little longer, why, slipped out so easily? Didn't you keep you? "

"..." Mao Jiu didn't answer, turned his head and glanced at Wei Ying coldly, and shook away the hand that was on his shoulder without authorization.

"...Mao Jiu?" Wei Ying looked at his hands, then observed his indifferent expression, and asked tentatively, "You remember it all?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Maojiu stood up straight with her hands in her pockets, "Aren't you going to leave? Let's go."

"..." Although he didn't know what happened, Wei Ying had no objection to the result.Mao Jiu didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask any more. He just spread out his palms, and the black combat uniform quickly appeared, "For the sake of your memory loss, I will keep it for you, and I won't be treated like this in the future. It’s better to wear this when you go back.”

Mao Jiu didn't say a word, and took it and put it on according to Yan's words.Wei Ying had no intention of avoiding suspicion at all, and put his hands on the side and murmured: "I said Mao Jiu, you really should exercise, look at your little belly that has no confidence. But the speed at which you change clothes is terrible. It’s really not what it used to be, that person taught you? Oh, don’t tell me you guys often play some weird games? I um..."

Mao Jiu slapped him on the mouth, finally succeeded in blocking the next words, and clicked impatiently with a black face: "You talk a lot of nonsense."

"Yo yo yo, I feel guilty." Wei Ying jumped away a few steps and made a face at him.Mao Jiu just followed behind him as if he didn't see it, and didn't ask how to get back, but Wei Ying came over after a while.

"This is just like you." Wei Ying stepped back and stared into his eyes, "You shouldn't get so close to humans."

Mao Jiu glanced at him without emotion, but said nothing.

Wei Ying finally stopped in a secluded alley, stood still, closed his eyes, and softly spit out a string of non-human language.He spoke very fast, before Mao Jiu had time to identify what it was, he saw that the blue-purple mass that was originally just a mist quickly condensed into a ball, and then exploded suddenly, completely enveloping the surrounding area.Mao Jiu stood still, Wei Ying stretched out his hand and grabbed him, so he was brought in uncontrollably.

A voice from far away said:

"Cat Nine, welcome back."
