The Cat's Inheritance

Ali was probably drunk.

Hard work wants Ah Li to go upstairs and go back to the bedroom to sleep, but Ah Li disagrees.

He dragged his hard-working arms, desperately going back to the sofa.He flung himself onto the sofa, rolled over and sat up, crossed his legs, pulled a pillow and refused to let go, and kept rubbing it with his chin.I couldn't sit still, so I could only lean on the back of the sofa and shrink my body into a ball.

Xin Qin walked over, sat next to him, reached out and touched Ali's forehead, and started flipping through the phone with the other hand, trying to find tips for getting drunk.His own alcohol capacity is not bad, and he doesn't usually drink too much, and there is nothing at home to prepare for sobering up.

He only flipped through his phone a few times before Ah Li snatched it and threw it to the other side of the sofa. "Don't play with your phone, look at me!" Ali demanded arrogantly.

Xin Qin sighed, turned around cooperatively, looked at Ali, and comforted softly: "Okay, I'll look at you."

Ah Li tried hard to focus her eyes, and after a while, she seemed to finally realize that Qin Qin was looking at him intently and did not lie to him, so she laughed contentedly and hiccupped.

Qin Qin felt amused and asked, "Then what are we going to do now?"

Ah Li frowned, thought carefully, and stammered, "Let's chat."

"Okay." Qin Qin readily agreed.

Ah Li tilted his head and thought for a while, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said, "But before that, I have to find something." After that, he threw away the pillow in his arms, twisted his body hard, and looked up at his butt.

Hard to understand, asked: "What are you looking for? I will help you."

Ali muttered: "I want to find my tail."

……

Hard work confirmed that Ah Li was really drunk, and he silently recorded the amount of alcohol in two glasses of Baileys soda water.

"I lost my tail!" A Li turned her head and looked at Xin Qin in panic.

Qin Qin had no choice but to comfort him, saying: "You didn't lose your tail, you'll have a tail when you wake up from sleep."

"But how can you sleep without holding your tail?"

Hard work speechless.

Ali's eyes were red. "I'm a cat without a tail." His tone was very aggrieved.

Qin Qin quickly scanned around, but found nothing that could replace the tail, so he stretched out his arm and lied to Ali: "The tail is not lost, let's see if this is your tail?"

Ali stared at his arm stupidly for a long time, and finally burst into tears, hugged him, and shook her in her arms.Hey, he breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to touch Hardin's arm, frowned again, sighed softly, and said, "The tail is bald."

Qin Qin didn't move, just said: "It doesn't matter, the hair will grow back."

A Li shook her head, and said sadly: "The teacher said, it won't grow again, I will always be so bald, ugly." He drooped his head, and his curled eyelashes seemed to be full of sorrow.

Xin Qin moved to Ah Li's side, sat closer to him, stretched out his free arm, held Ah Li in his arms, and patted the back of his head lightly.

Ah Li hugged her "tail" and sighed for a while, then probed her nose and sniffed Qin Gong's neck, and said with certainty: "It's Miwu."

Xin Qin felt strange and asked him: "What is Miwu?"

Ah Li narrowed her eyes and looked at him. Although her eyes were a little loose, her tone was quite firm. "Miwu is you." He said, "Are you stupid, you don't even know your own name."

Qin Qin laughed and patted the back of his head again.

Ah Li was dissatisfied, shook her head, and protested: "Don't touch my head."

"Where do you touch?"

Ah Li looked down at her belly, suddenly remembered that the hair on his belly was gone, and sighed heavily again. "Then you'd better touch my head." He said sullenly, "At least I still have hair on my head." Being a human is really hard work.

Xin Qin asked softly: "Do you feel unwell? Do you want to lie down?"

Ali shook her head.Feeling dizzy from shaking his head too much, he quickly reached out to support his head.After lying down, Ali forgot why she had to stretch out her hands for a moment, so she had to put both hands on top of her head, making a posture of hugging her head.Xin Qin felt that he was so stupid, so he reached out and put Ali's hands back in place, letting him rest his head on his shoulders.

Ali yawned.

"Go to sleep, you'll be fine when you wake up."

"Are you still there when you wake up?"

"Well, I'm still here." Qin Qin lowered his head slightly, touched the top of Ali's head, kissed her, and said, "I've always been here."

Ah Li blinked and said slowly, "But, I am no longer a kitten."

There was a long silence in the air, so quiet that everything seemed to be still.

Xin Qin stretched out his arms and hugged Ah Li tighter. "I know," he replied.

Ali barely opened her eyes, and asked again: "Then can I still be with you?"

Xin Qin gently lifted Ah Li's bangs with his hands, and kissed him on the forehead. "certainly."

Ali got the assurance, suddenly felt relieved, laughed a few times, and said loudly: "Of course you have to be with me, I have taken over you, I will be responsible for you, we can be together forever."

Following his words, Xin Qin asked, "Why did you take over me?"

Ah Li wrinkled her nose, thought for a while, and said, "Of course it's because I like you."

Xin Qin smiled softly, and pinched Ah Li's nose.The tip of his nose is a little cold, like a cat's nose.

In the end, Ah Li couldn't bear it any longer, she fell down on her hardworking lap, and slowly fell asleep.Work hard to pull a blanket and wrap Ah Li up.He hugged Ah Li, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

The living room didn't turn on the headlights, but it was very bright.I couldn't see the sky from this angle, and thought to myself, the moonlight must be beautiful tonight.

Ah Li seemed to be sleeping restlessly, twitching her arms and legs from time to time, shrinking into a smaller ball.

"From today..." Xin Qin lowered his head and said softly.Even though he knew that Ali couldn't hear him, even if he did, he probably wouldn't remember what happened tonight until he sobered up.He muttered to himself as if Ali was listening.

"Starting today, I will treat you as a whole person. I respect you, as a man, I respect all your choices. I don't actually know why this happened, but I know you come back Yes. Maybe this is just my wishful thinking, or maybe these are just a dream, and I will wake up eventually.

But I don't care.

You are no longer my cat, I still want to take care of you and be with you because I am the same and I like you too.

But you are no longer my cat, you will have your own independent life, you will experience many things that you have never imagined, and you will meet many people.Among these people, you may meet someone you like more.

It doesn't matter, as long as you are happy.

I will find a way to accompany you until the far, far future.

I used to be uncomfortable with the life of two people. I couldn't share, and I couldn't keep the other person in my heart all the time.I'm not good. Although you made me better later, I'm still not good enough.right?

But I promise you, just like I promised you when I first met you and brought you home, that I will work hard to make you happy.

If you also hope so, starting today, I will learn to love you, love you equally and fairly.I'm very good, I never read the strategy when playing games, and I learn very quickly, so I won't make you wait for me for a long time.

If one day, you find another way of life, another life that can make you happier.I will hope that you will be as brave as you are today, go for it, and enjoy it.

No matter how it turns out, I thank you for being so brave all the time.Thank you for coming to me and coming back to me again. "

A tear dripped down Ari's cheek at some point.Qin Qin stretched out his hand to wipe it gently for him, only to realize that his face was full of tears.

It's been a long time since he cried.

When Sparta left, Hardworking didn't shed a single tear.Those two years were so unreal that he couldn't recall many details.He only remembered that he still lived as usual, ate as usual, slept as usual, and everything was as usual.

Then one day, he passed by the streets near the community and found a new pet supply store opened.He entered involuntarily, pausing at a row of brightly colored cat leash vests, subconsciously picking them up for Sparta.It was not until the payment was made that Hardworking came back to his senses.

He no longer needs it.

Work hard to put down the leash.That night, he decided to go to City X and get Sparta's head tattooed on his arm.

He needs a reminder, a clear, calm and cruel reminder, telling him that all this has happened and is irreversible.

But there may really be a so-called God of Destiny, who secretly smiled pitifully, arranged everything in advance, and then quietly watched them make mistakes, correct them, and return to the right track.Catch you off guard, leave you embarrassed, and make you ultimately grateful.

…………

In the research institute on the top of Wutai Mountain, after dinner, the cats were nestling together lively, fighting, licking, and meowing.

Teacher Wang just finished hanging up Ali's phone, and she was still very angry. She sulked in the room for a while, then went out to the balcony.

The balcony was full of cats in twos and threes, and they didn't even lift their eyelids when they saw Mr. Wang.

Teacher Wang said in his heart, a group of kittens.He climbed up the small turret on all fours.Master Wang is holding a big bowl of freshly baked warm chestnuts, sitting on the gun tower, peeling them seriously.Hearing the movement, he raised his head quickly, saw Mr. Wang, smiled innocently, and gave up the empty seat beside him.Teacher Wang walked over, sat down, panting.Master Wang handed the freshly peeled chestnuts to Teacher Wang.The chestnut is golden and shiny, exuding an attractive aroma.

Teacher Wang grabbed it unceremoniously, and took two at a time.The soft and sweet chestnut made him feel happy.He stretched his limbs and let out a long breath.

Master Wang bowed his head and continued to peel chestnuts seriously.

Teacher Wang rested his chin on Master Wang's shoulder, clinging to each other as if they were still fluffy timepieces.Teacher Wang suddenly remembered that a long, long time ago, when he first met Wang Jingji, their humans announced that they would live together from now on.Teacher Wang was very angry. Although he was small, he still aggressively chased Master Wang all over the room and bit his hair.Master Wang had a good temper and was not angry. He still caught mice the next day to please him, and even lent him his fur belly for the winter.

Later, the human beings disappeared, many things disappeared, and only Master Wang remained.In this long journey of life, his only remaining thought.

Teacher Wang smiled lightly.

The chestnuts that Master Wang peeled ended up in Teacher Wang's stomach.He held on, and let out a loud belch, announcing the end of the supper.

At this time, he heard Wang Youyu, that stinky cat, brazenly proclaiming the Declaration of Independence.

"We are cats," Wang Youyu gave a speech in a childlike voice, "Cats are free! We will never be pampered!" He has been going through an embarrassing period recently. He is skinny, with messy fur and good looks A little discounted.But appearance does not affect his performance.He is high-spirited and eloquent. "We don't need humans, we can benefit from them, but we will never take over any humans, we want to be free elves on earth!"

meow-

Wang Youyu's speech received a few sparse responses, all of which were kittens who were three or four months old.

Teacher Wang listened quietly for a while, then snorted.

childish!

Although humans also have annoying times, they will never understand cats.

However, a cat always learns to love when it meets the first human being who loves him.

It would be great if you were free all your life, and you don't need to worry about anything.

But once we learn to love, our hearts will become very soft, like a cloud, like a gust of wind, treasured and cherished, hidden in the most secret place, even the slightest tremor, we can worry about gains and losses, but Without hesitation.

Soft and strong, it is our way to love.
