On the way back, Xu Xiaozhou was restless.Before he left, he asked Mr. Alan to let him take the photo with his mobile phone. The second shot was a bit blurry, but the shock was still real.He knew very well in his heart that Mr. Alan found it meaningful that other people could not feel the shock. That was because he saw the cat's stubbornness first, and then saw it yield and die. It is the back of a dirty and thin old cat.

He stared at the screen in a daze, trying to recall that day seven years ago.

In fact, before saving the black cat, he didn't look at it very carefully, because at first glance, he felt that the cat was ugly and embarrassed, a little scared, and a little unwilling to look at it.But he can still remember the feeling, the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by the dog. At that time, he had these words in his heart, and he still joked in his heart that he compared the cat to a tiger.

After beating off the gangsters, the black cat disappeared and slipped away very quickly.He didn't think much about it at that time, and ran to school in a hurry. He was sweating because of the fight and was blown by the wind. After returning, he had a high fever.

This memory is too limited.

Xu Xiaozhou sighed, and a reminder to turn off the phone came from the plane radio. He silently turned off the phone and put it in his pocket, resting his head on the back of the seat in front, feeling dizzy.

It was Broker Tang who came to pick him up, and he asked curiously at the first sight: "What's wrong with you? Are you listless?"

Xu Xiaozhou replied in a low voice, "Tired."

"That's it." Tangtang thoughtfully took the only handbag in his hand, accommodated his pace, and looked at him carefully while asking: "You... are not going well?"

"It went well. Mr. Alan offered me to join the production of his new work this year."

Tangtang paused, eyes widened, "Then what are you doing here with your head down? Is extreme joy begets sorrow?"

Xu Xiaozhou was stuck in his heart, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's just that the string has been taut for too long, and when it is loosened all of a sudden, I feel very tired."

"That's it." The other party sighed, "That's right, I heard from Jing Feng that you have been working very hard recently, go back and have a good rest."

"Ah."

On the way back, Xu Xiaozhou slumped in the back seat and looked at the receding buildings outside the car window.

"Tangtang." He said, his voice a little hoarse.

"what happened?"

"Sorry, drive slowly, I'm a little dizzy."

As soon as his words fell, the speed of the car slowed down immediately. The manager glanced at him through the rearview mirror, and said with some sadness: "Why don't you ask Director Bai for leave and take two days off. Your actions a while ago The drama is too dense, and physical exhaustion is also one of the reasons."

Xu Xiaozhou rolled out the word "um" from his throat and closed his eyes, only to feel that the discomfort in his body suddenly exceeded his tolerance.Wave after wave of dizziness, the whole person seemed to be exhausted and had no strength. He raised his hand and touched his forehead. His palms were hot and his forehead was hot, hurting each other.

In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the dream that he hadn't had for a long time, following the young Sangsang's buttocks to clean up the mess and worry about daily life.The mother cat and her son had just bumped into an alley together, when Sangsang suddenly turned his head, meowed twice, and asked, "Mom, why did the fat cat I bullied last year grow up so much, and I still haven't grown?"

Xu Xiaozhou was taken aback for a moment, and at that moment he suddenly realized that this was a dream, and he was not a cat mother, so he couldn't answer this question.

"And why do the cats I usually like to beat die gradually? Are they short-lived? Could it be that I beat them to death?"

Xu Xiaozhou choked again, unable to answer this question.He was silent for a long time, tentatively, "Do you remember how many years you have been with your mother?"

Hearing the words, the little milk cat turned its head to one side, as if thinking about a very complicated question. Xu Xiaozhou nervously waited for the answer, but suddenly, the little cat walked towards him seriously, raised its paw, and shone on his face. slap in the face.

Clap.

Such a rebellious behavior shocked him deeply. He stared at the cat's eyes wide and watched Sangsang slap him one after another. The cat's face soon became so painful that he finally couldn't suppress the fire in his heart. , roar hard.

——The boy sat up abruptly on the bed.

Sangsang, who had tried his best to wake him up just now, almost lost his waist, and muttered a few times in an unhappy way.Xu Xiaozhou panted heavily, only to realize that he had returned to the dormitory, sitting on the familiar big bed.

He looked back at Sangsang suddenly, "Why did I come back?"

"Meow-meow-ow-"

Someone's attendant sent you back. You have a fever, and someone without conscience hasn't come to see you for more than two hours.

Xu Xiaozhou seemed to feel a headache that was about to burst, and couldn't help rubbing his temples.Sangsang was still chattering beside him.

"Meow - groh - hoo -"

I told you a long time ago, that guy cannot be entrusted with his life.Also...

"Stop—" He interrupted a certain cat's chatter one by one, paused, and asked softly: "Sangsang, I have a few questions for you."

"Mi—" said chant.

Xu Xiaozhou swallowed, and asked slowly: "You civet cats, can you live for a long time? Is it difficult to count the life of a normal cat with you here?"

The kitten turned its white belly for him to see, and uttered a few times—the answer is right, how about it, are we good?

"Awesome..." The conjecture in my heart was confirmed, and Xu Xiaozhou asked again: "Then... how long has it been since you and your mother have seen each other?"

The kitten, who was still smugly licking its paw just now, froze.

"I seem to have seen her seven years ago, you..." Xu Xiaozhou hesitated for a moment, and asked softly the confusion in his heart for a long time, "You said that you clearly know that I am not your real mother, so you know Do you know where she is now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mass of black and white things jumped up in his sight. In the blink of an eye, there was a burning pain in his chest. Sangsang jumped to his chest, and his sharp claws scratched his clothes. A few bloods.The kitten gritted its teeth fiercely at him, its eyes widened, and he had never seen such cruel hatred, even for those he hated, he had never seen Sangsang like this.

The next second, the kitten let go of its grip suddenly, fell back on the bed with a weak plop, stood up weakly again, jumped off the bed, and walked straight to the cat toilet.Xu Xiaozhou felt heavy in his heart, and shouted behind his back: "Sangsang——"

The cat stopped and looked back at him.

The clear eyes were full of sorrow, and there seemed to be tears holding back.

Xu Xiaozhou's voice was soft, "Your mother gave me the soul of the civet, and I will take care of you and stay with you for her."

"Meow--"

sorry.

Xu Xiaozhou pulled back the quilt, stepped on the ground with the same weak steps as the kitten, and put the phone on the floor in front of the kitten.

"Although the photo is a bit embarrassing, maybe this photo is very important to you."

A certain cat lowered its head and stared at the screen in a daze.

The cat's body trembled violently.

"Your mother has the same temper as you. She doesn't bow her head even if she loses a fight, and she won't hide when it rains."

The kitten didn't say a word, it picked up the phone and walked quickly into the toilet. Just as it got in, Xu Xiaozhou heard a frantic sound of scraping sand inside.He didn't need to look at it to know whether the phone was going to come back, but he didn't think about coming back, he just said: "Maybe it needs to be charged, you can find me anytime."

"Meow—" Got it, am I a country cat?

Xu Xiaozhou smiled. He knew that the little guy would not come out of the toilet in a short time, so he also slowly returned to the bed.His head was so heavy that his cervical spine could hardly support it. With the last of his strength, he pulled his quilt up.

Although his body was uncomfortable, it seemed that a big stone that had been blocked for a long time was completely let go of him.

Chen Jingfeng's friend said that the soul of a civet gradually appeared in his body.This soul luster should be planted in him by that short-faced Sangsang mother.Probably it was condemned by God and urgently needed another body to recuperate, or maybe it knew that it was going to die and didn't want this faint soul to be wiped out. The specific reason is unknown, but the last trace of the cat god's soul back then should be his current civet soul source of Ze.

The civet that lost its soul must follow the time of life and death of the cat clan again. It knows that it is going to die, and it is grateful to the human beings who finally have kindness to her. What Alan said that the cat wants to leave on him may not be anything, but this fate that is destined to meet him and reveal all these secrets.

There is only one thing Xu Xiaozhou can't figure out, and that is where his bad luck came from in the past few years.But he didn't want to think about it anymore. Maybe it's difficult for the soul of a civet to fuse quickly in a human body. Wouldn't there be rejection after an organ transplant?

Regardless of whether the cat is vicious or auspicious, whether it can kill people, or why it has been occupying his body for a long time, he doesn't want to pursue it any further.He wants to take good care of Sangsang for the female cat.

……

Xu Xiaozhou didn't know what was going on with him. This illness should be more due to heart disease, but he really had a high fever for several days.No matter how ruthless Bai Qiyan is, he can't make a person who can't walk to hang on to Wia, so he can only move his camera back temporarily.Although Chen Jingfeng came to take care of him every day after the show, he had no time to spare himself during the day, and it was Sangsang who helped Xu Xiaozhou out with a box of lunch and asked someone to pour boiling water.

On the fifth day of his illness, his mental health had improved a lot. He sat on the bed and took the medicine. He smiled at a cat with a banana in its mouth and said, "Raise a child to prevent old age."

The kitten spat the banana on his quilt with a gulp, and cursed several times.

You rookie, you can die of illness even if you travel far away.

If you die, no one will shovel shit for me.

Xu Xiaozhou couldn't breathe from laughing, and after laughing, he was speechless, "I give you a mobile phone to remind you of your mother. You should go online less, and don't touch human Internet vocabulary."

"Meow—" I want you to take care of it.

Xu Xiaozhou sighed helplessly.

Probably seeing that the kitten's mood gradually improved, he also relaxed a lot, and went out for a walk after lunch.After not going out to bask in the sun for several days, Sangsang also came out, walking slowly along his heels, like a flower protector.

Xu Xiaozhou thought about going to the recording studio to see everyone, and was really embarrassed to be absent from work for several days.However, as soon as he approached the recording studio, he heard a burst of cheers inside.

The little brother from the props team came out with several swords, and he was also very excited. Xu Xiaozhou stopped him and asked, "What's so good?"

"Hey, Xiao Zhou? Are you recovering from illness? Supervisor Wang's youngest daughter is here for a hundred days. He just brought dumplings made by Mrs. Wang to make everyone happy."

Xu Xiaozhou was stunned when he heard the words, "How much does it cost?"

"There are so many, it's scary, and it smells very fragrant, much better than boxed lunches."

"Hey, I won't tell you anymore, I'll put the things away and come back to eat dumplings, so what, don't just stand there, you go in and eat dumplings too."

Xu Xiaozhou couldn't laugh or cry, he had just finished eating.

"Meow—" I want to eat too.

"You can't, the dumpling stuffing is too salty for you."

"Meow—" The civet doesn't shed hair.

"Really or not—" Xu Xiaozhou glanced suspiciously at a fat man, and nodded reluctantly after getting a look of assurance, "Okay then."

He was actually a little embarrassed, he was sick and disappeared for a few days, but he showed up just after the crew sent out some delicious food, and he brought the cat with him when he came.

Xu Xiaozhou walked inside bravely, Bai Qiyan had sharp eyes, and saw him in the crowd at a glance, "Why is Xiaozhou here?"

Xu Xiaozhou smiled awkwardly, "Sick... uh, well, I can start working now."

Bai Qiyan waved his hand, "Let's rest for two more days, I see that you are drifting when you walk. It's just right, come and eat dumplings."

Chen Jingfeng walked over not far away, and asked in a low voice, "Is it better?"

"The fever is gone, don't worry."

The man hummed, and Xu Xiaozhou waved to everyone again and said, "I've already eaten, just ask for a dumpling for the funeral, and you don't need to keep it for me."

Supervisor Wang happened to come in from the outside, and said with a smile, "At least eat one, to be happy."

Xu Xiaozhou couldn't shirk anymore, so he had to go and get two dumplings, and handed one to Sangsang, and the kitten ate deliciously with his hands.He waited until the cat had finished eating, then picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of his dumpling.

The dumpling skin was torn, but the feeling of touching the teeth was not right. He held it in front of his eyes in surprise and looked at the stuffing inside.

It wasn't the cabbage and pork that the kitten had enjoyed just now, but a lump of sticky stuff, which was very heavy.He subconsciously licked his lower lip, the stuffing was silky and very fragrant.

Not far away, Producer Wang suddenly said, "Did Xiaozhou eat meat floss?"

"Ah?" Xu Xiaozhou froze for a moment, "It seems so."

He lowered his head and took a bite, it was true.

"You're very lucky. There are only five hundred dumplings wrapped with this assorted meat floss. I was afraid that the lucky dumplings would be mixed with the rest and no one would eat them."

Xu Xiaozhou was stunned.He has never had the one-in-five percent, one-shot luck.

Bai Qiyan smiled and said, "After eating the Fuqi Dumplings, I'll be cured of my illness, so hurry up and sneak back to work."

Xu Xiaozhou quickly agreed twice and swallowed the dumplings whole.In fact, he has not recovered from the cold yet, and the sweet taste is very weak, and he can only feel the fragrance of oil.

On the way back, Xu Xiaozhou lowered his head and asked Sangsang, "Why do you think I suddenly had good luck?"

The kitten meowed a few times, and Xu Xiaozhou understood what it meant.

Because my mother spoiled you.

The young man who was still sick was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit it, "Let you stop surfing the Internet, come here for me—"

The kitten sneered, and sneaked into the dormitory. After a while, the cat poked its head back from the door and barked a few times impatiently.

—Come on, sick number.

"..."

Xu Xiaozhou feels that a person who unconditionally advocates science and materialism has become more and more superstitious recently, and he even believes in evil.Believe it or not, because when he woke up the next day, he felt that he was almost completely healed.I ate double the amount for breakfast a few days ago, and after eating, I was alive and well, and I couldn't wait to go out for a couple of laps.

It's just that it's time for him to be sick, and it's also time for him to be well, just in time for the single holiday.Chen Jingfeng was knocked on the door by him early in the morning, and he said enthusiastically, "I think I can go directly to Wia right now."

"Oh." With two bright dark circles under his eyes, the man walked back to the bed and issued a sincere invitation, "Would you like to come and sleep together?"

When Xu Xiaozhou saw the bed, he felt pain all over his body. He took two steps back, "No. Then you can go to sleep, and I will find you when you wake up."

Chen Jingfeng was forced by the director until four o'clock in the morning before his single break. He had just fallen asleep for three hours, and was so sleepy that he couldn't distinguish between ghosts and humans.Xu Xiaozhou pushed the door lightly for him, and stood alone in the empty corridor of the dormitory building in the early morning of a single holiday, feeling extremely lonely.

He was walking back bored, when the cell phone in his pocket rang suddenly—since he gave Sangsang the cell phone with the photo of the cat mother, he had to use this temporary emergency cell phone, and there was no address book or anything Before it was time to set it up, even Chen Jingfeng called with a string of numbers.

But Xu Xiaozhou felt inexplicably familiar with the string of numbers on the screen.He read the tail number several times, and a name flashed in his mind.

The boy's eyes became serious, he stared at the phone for a while, and finally picked it up before it was about to hang up automatically.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

The person on the other end of the phone is Dai Tianqi.Back then, Xu Xiaozhou showed him the profiles of the contestants before the recording of "The Rage Stage". From that glance, he remembered the last number of Dai Tianqi's phone number, because it was 5566, so it was easy to remember.

Dai Tianqi was stunned for a second when asked, hesitated for a while, and said in a good temper: "It's me, Xiaozhou, I'm Tianqi."

"I know."

"Well, that, I came to Z City, I heard that you were sick two days ago, I bought you some snacks along the way, and came to see you."

Xu Xiaozhou put a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was also very indifferent, "There are people you know in this crew."

The other party became anxious when he heard the words, and quickly said: "No, no, don't worry, I didn't let anyone watch you. It was your sister Zhan who was squatting outside the crew who asked about it from the security guard two days ago. Your Chaohua is all posts about your hard work in filming and getting sick, so I came to say hello after seeing Chaohua.”

Xu Xiaozhou let out a sigh when he heard the words. When he mentioned fans, he felt a little better when he answered the phone call. He asked again: "So you are looking for me, what's the matter?"

"Just to see you."

"Heh." Xu Xiaozhou leaned against the wall, and said casually, "It's written in my super chat that I'm sick, but maybe it didn't say that I'm still sick, so it's inconvenient to deal with home visits."

"Can……"

"Also." The boy's voice was very cold, "You and I both know how we hate each other, so we don't need to engage in these scenes. I don't blame you for speaking ill of me in the crew before, and you don't go around shouting about "Hundred Demons Traveling" "It was I who robbed you of your talent——I think, the two of us are very clear about which one of us has occupied the nest of the dove and the magpie."

Dai Tianqi's tongue was tied up, "Why did you become so powerful all of a sudden... I... Xiaozhou, I didn't do any tricks in the debut evaluation. Recently, various people in the company have interrogated me many times. do not know anything."

"I get it, so what I'm saying is, it's a good thing to take advantage of."

Dai Tianqi was silent for two seconds, then suddenly sighed, his voice was very depressed, and pleaded, "Xiaozhou, I have something to ask you, can you just come out and see me? The competition system is very tight, I have the cheek to ask for two It's not easy for me to fly over on vacation. Or you can listen to what I say, and then I will leave the things at the doorman, so you don't have to see me."

"Tell me first, what's the matter."

"I know that the company has something to hide from me now. This competition is already a third of the way. I can see from the clips of the previous episodes that the program team doesn't want to praise me at all, and I haven't attracted any fans. I don't want to be Xuezang, even though he is not as strong as you, but he finally made his debut, who wants to go back to the basement?"

Xu Xiaozhou interrupted him, "Say it straight, what do you want me to help you with?"

"I heard that Director Wang Yichi is currently helping another director friend to shoot a comedy film. There are many small supporting roles in that book, which are better than side roles, but they are not considered actors who can be officially included in the series. I thought that since Wang Yichi joined After joining this crew, no matter how distracted you are, you can still get a supporting role. Director Wang likes you so much, can you..."

Xu Xiaozhou couldn't help but want to sneer halfway through listening.At the beginning, in the crew, Dai Tianqi talked behind his back every day that he was liked by Director Wang because of giving gifts. Although it did not cause any harm to him, there is really no lower limit for this person to change his face.

He was about to refuse, but when he lost his mind, he seemed to suddenly remember something.

Xu Xiaozhou listened patiently to what he had said, and then deliberately remained silent for a long time.He walked to the elevator step by step, and waited until Dai Tianqi couldn't hold back and anxiously asked him if he could agree, then he said a word slowly.

"I may not have that much ability. It's not a relationship, it's just a working relationship with Director Wang."

"I understand. I just ask you to say something nice for me, just mention it, okay?"

Xu Xiaozhou said something bad in his heart, but he paused and said: "Yes, but you have to promise me one condition."

"What condition? As long as you open your mouth, I will do my best."

Xu Xiaozhou raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly, raised his hand and pressed the elevator, "Wait for me at the back of Shed No. [-], I have something to ask you."

The author has something to say:

Chen Jingfeng: What happened to me when I was sick, and I was shivering with a dark belly.

Chen Jingfeng: Besides, I'm not a scumbag who doesn't take care of patients, it's because the author doesn't have extra words to give me evenly
