The cat has been in Zhong Yi's room for a whole afternoon.

This is a rare thing. On weekdays, cats only appear in Zhong Yi's room when they are sleeping at night. Zhong Yi often feels that cats are willing to get close to him for such a place where they can sleep at ease.

On this day, when the cat first appeared in Zhong Yi's room, Zhong Yi didn't pay attention to it and just played games on his own.In the evening, Zhong Yi went to the living room to have dinner and returned to his room. He was surprised to find that the cat was still in his room.

He was lying on the bed, watching the snow-white dumpling pacing back and forth in his room from the corner of his eye, and finally couldn't help asking: "You...do you want to tell me something?"

"..." The cat squatted at the foot of the bed silently and looked at him.

"Don't look at me like that, it's scary." Zhong Yi thought for a while and said cautiously, "Do you want to eat the small dried fish from the supermarket downstairs again?"

"..."

"Although I just bought it for you yesterday, it's okay to eat today." Zhong Yi said, turning sideways, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out the wallet, "I passed the entrance examination to the No. [-] middle school, and my mother raised my pocket money. "

"Meow—" the cat seemed to let out a long sigh helplessly.

Zhong Yi was confused by the cat.For no apparent reason, he picked up the cat and held it in front of his eyes: "What are you thinking?"

The cat gently stretched out its paw and pressed Zhong Yi's nose.

Zhong Yi stared into the cat's eyes for a while, then sighed, "If only I could understand what you're talking about."

After hearing Zhong Yi's words, the cat's eyes flashed with joy.It shook its ears excitedly and let out a long cry.

Zhong Yi still didn't understand what happened, but felt that his hand sank, and in the blink of an eye, the cat the size of a palm turned into a man.

Zhong Yi's eyes widened, he was so frightened that he almost screamed, the man on his body immediately pinched Zhong Yi's mouth quickly.

"Don't bark." The man seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and the tone of his voice was a bit awkward, "I am, your cat."

-

cat?

The man who claimed to be his cat stared into Zhong Yi's eyes, and after confirming that Zhong Yi had gradually calmed down, he said, "Don't bark, I'll let go."

Zhong Yi blinked.The man let go of the hand holding Zhong Yi's mouth. He frowned and looked at the red fingerprints around Zhong Yi's mouth. He lowered his head and licked Zhong Yi's mouth until Zhong Yi pursed his mouth with a flushed face. Responding belatedly: "Sorry, I forgot that I am not a cat now."

As he spoke, he got out of bed and found a set of crumpled clothes under Zhong Yi's bed.He patted the dust on it, shook it off and put it on himself, complaining while wearing it: "When doing hygiene, remember to sweep the bottom of the bed too."

"You..." Zhong Yi felt his mind was in a mess and didn't know where to start.

The man pulled up his short sleeves and sat cross-legged at the end of the bed: "Ask."

"..." Zhong Yi looked at him with a complicated expression: "Your clothes..."

"The clothes were put under your bed the afternoon after your final exam. You forgot to close the window when you went out that afternoon. I have been looking for a chance to talk to you about this since your exam." He touched his chin, "Mr. I don’t think it’s acceptable to be naked.”

...It's hard to accept wearing clothes, okay?

Zhong Yi coughed lightly: "Cats are only so long," Zhong Yi gestured with his hands, "but why do you look like you are in your 20s?"

"Because cats are sexually mature before they are one year old, and humans don't stop developing until they are around 20 years old." He pointed to his crotch, "Would you like to see it, it's fully developed..."

"I saw it just now." Zhong Yi interrupted him with some embarrassment, "Does that mean your body will age as quickly as a cat?"

The man looked at Zhong Yi with a worried expression and said, "My lifespan is as long as that of a human being, and I will remain like this for many years to come." He poked his face, "The appearance."

"That's it." Zhong Yi said.

The man looked at Zhong Yi with his face propped up and said, "You are really calm. Are all children like this now?"

Three years ago, ten-year-old Zhong Yi was so calm when he rescued the cat that was hit by a car. He decisively wrapped his wound with a cloth, called his parents for help, and took a taxi to send himself to the animal. Hospital.It was precisely because of meeting Zhong Yi that he was able to survive.

"Huh?" Zhong Yi touched his nose, "What's the use of panic?"

After all, it was still a cat. While speaking, the man's attention was attracted by the moths circling around the lamp above his head, and he tried hard to restrain himself not to pounce on it.

Zhong Yi looked at him and said, "You said just now that you are my cat?"

The person listening to him still stared at the moth: "Yes, it's a cat."

"I mean..." Zhong Yi rubbed his nose shyly, "Is it 'mine'?"

The man finally brought his attention back to Zhong Yi.Zhong Yi pursed his lips, looking at the anticipation in the other's eyes.

The man smiled.

- "Well, yours."

2.5

"Do you have a name?" Zhong Yi asked looking at the people circling around the room.

"No." The other party said and pulled the desk drawer, "Where's the key?"

"It's in the schoolbag." Zhong Yi watched him open the drawer and take out the dried fish that he didn't finish eating yesterday, "Can I name you?"

"Okay." The man said indifferently, "We've known each other for three years, why did you just remember to name me now?"

Zhong Yi smiled: "I didn't realize that you are 'mine' before, how can I name you casually." He paused, "Would you just drag people to name you casually on the street? "

"..."

"According to the rules for naming people, you must first have a surname." Zhong Yi noticed the man's fair skin and lighter hair color than Asians, and thought about the cat's snow-white fur, and said: " Surname Bai."

"Yeah." The little brother surnamed Bai agreed vaguely while biting the dried fish.

"As for the name..." Zhong Yi glanced at the book he had just bought on the desk, "Let's call it Bai Zhong."

"Bai Baizhong?" He frowned suspiciously.

"...No, my surname is Bai and my name is Zhong." Zhong Yi looked at the other party's unsure look, and explained, "It's taken from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'."

Bai Zhong was stunned for a moment, and there were ripples in his light green pupils.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

——You are like, like a dream.
