imaginary rival

After taking the wine back, what to do with the cat became a big deal.

When we went back, Yan An carried the two boxes of wine. It was inconvenient for Jiang Shiyu to carry the cat in his pocket, and he was afraid that it would be crushed, so Yan An did his best, but Jiang Shiyu pretended to help when he moved the wine into the house. As a favor, the two of them went directly to Yan An's bedroom as soon as they entered the room.

The bedroom is quite clean, there are still a few comic books in the textbooks on the desk, and a few draft papers are full of villains, but there are not many drafts.

Jiang Shiyu took the cat out of his arms and took a closer look. The cat was able to open its eyes, but it was still dying and lacked energy.

"I'm going to get some warm water." Yan An took two unwanted clothes and made a nest for the kitten in the corner, "How about hot milk?"

"Cats can't drink milk." Jiang Shiyu called out, "Get some warm water."

"Ah? Oh." Yan An nodded, turned his head and went out to get out his mobile phone and started Baidu search "Why can't cats drink milk".

The adults outside were still boisterously drinking, Xie Lanlan hadn't eaten for a long time, she was sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, when she saw Yan An coming out, she walked over to pat him: "Hey, you and Jiang What is Shi Yu doing?"

"Well," Yan An said, "I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't drink milk."

"Who? Jiang Shiyu?" Xie Lanlan was stunned.

"No, cat," Yan An put the phone away, took a cup to get a cup of warm water, and whispered to Xie Lanlan, "We picked up a kitten."

Xie Lanlan's eyes widened all of a sudden, and she lowered her voice and said, "Where is it? In your room? I said, you two went into your room as soon as you came back. I was wondering why you two went out to buy a drink and came back to have such a good relationship." ..."

Yan An twitched the corner of his mouth at her, carried water into the room, Xie Lanlan walked in behind, and closed the door.

Jiang Shiyu was still squatting next to the kitten, stroking the kitten lightly with his hands. The temperature in the room was high, the kitten's eyes were already squinted, and the fur on its body was still a little wet, but it was much better than before. At least there were no more painful and weak cries for help.

"Oh my god, where did you two pick it up?" Xie Lanlan squatted next to the kitten and said in surprise, "It's too small."

"It's in the haystack next to the flower bed." Yan An also squatted down. The cup he was holding was quite big, and the kitten could drink water by tilting it a little. "Jiang Shiyu picked it up when he heard it barking. .”

"...What should I do?" Xie Lanlan reached out and touched the kitten's head, "Can't you just drink water?"

"Shall I go to the kitchen to find something to eat?" Yan An frowned.

"Can it eat those things? They're all raw meat and vegetables." Xie Lanlan also frowned, "Hey, did you two come back from buying roasted sweet potatoes? Can you feed them?"

"How do you know?" Yan An looked at her in shock.He and Jiang Shiyu rushed back to the room almost as soon as they put the wine case, and didn't stay for half a minute. The roasted sweet potatoes were still on the desk at the moment, and they were probably not as hot as when they were just bought.

"...I can smell it." Xie Lanlan glanced at Jiang Shiyu, and sniffed a little embarrassedly.

"...Can you eat roasted sweet potatoes?" Yan An didn't continue the topic, "Have you ever seen a cat eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

"How do I know," Xie Lanlan said, "My family has never raised these, Xie Zhu is allergic."

"Let's go out and buy some cat food," Yan An said, "If you feed it randomly and then feed it to death, you are already very weak."

"Where can I buy cat food? There is no pet store near here." Xie Lanlan said, and suddenly glanced at Jiang Shiyu. Jiang Shiyu had been clicking on his mobile phone for a long time, not knowing what he was doing.

"Can you eat sweet potatoes in Baidumao?" Yan An turned to look at Jiang Shiyu.

"...No," Jiang Shiyu sighed, looked at Yan An, then at Xie Lanlan, as if a little helpless, "Takeaway can deliver cat food."

Yan An froze for a moment: "Oh."

"Do you see this address?" Jiang Shiyu handed over the phone.

"...Yes." Yan An said.

Jiang Shiyu nodded and confirmed the payment.

Yan An just glanced at it. Jiang Shiyu only bought a little kitten food, which is not too much. It’s okay to pick better ones later. If you can’t finish it, you can put it with him first. Mom said that she wanted to raise a cat, and she could just bring the cat food home...Anyway, she could do whatever she wanted.

Jiang Shiyu's calmness made Yan An and Xie Lanlan, who were discussing very seriously just now, look not very smart.

Are you modern people?

How about using your mobile phone and delivery software?

What else can't be ordered now?Even that kind of service can come to your door... Although I haven't ordered it before, I can still come to my door!

Yan An stared at the cat without saying a word.

"...Ah," Xie Lanlan sighed, "It seems that IQ is a bit low."

She didn't know which word in this sentence made Yan An smile, and made him stare at the cat with inexplicable joy, without looking up or looking at others, just staring at the kitten, as happy as if the cat had picked him up.

Xie Lanlan was so happy that he also laughed, Jiang Shiyu twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, and took the cup next to him to feed the kitten with water.

The delivery of the takeaway was a bit slow. When Jiang Shiyu's phone rang, the kitten's hair was almost dry, so he didn't dare to let the takeaway come to the door directly. Yan An went to the gate of the community to get it by himself, in order to prevent the adults from buying it after seeing it I bought some snacks to cover up. After all, I haven't talked about raising a cat yet, and I don't know if they agree or not.

Before going out, Jiang Shiyu looked at Yan An worriedly: "Can you do it? I'll go with you."

"Fuck, what do you mean?" Yan An stared at him, "You know I can't do it?"

"No," Jiang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, "I mean... aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

"As long as he walks alone, he is not afraid of ghosts," Xie Lanlan said. "He has a strong ability to make up brains. From the moment he went out, he was caught in his own brain-made scripts, and he had no time to think about ghosts."

Yan An looked at Xie Lanlan and clicked his tongue.

"The last time we met face-to-face, I didn't pay any attention to me," Xie Lanlan continued, "I found out later that he was playing Star Wars in his head, and he might not be able to respond even if a ghost bumped into his arms when he went out now." come over."

"A ghost hit your arms!" Yan An shouted.

"Humped into my arms," ​​Xie Lanlan was happy, "Go quickly."

Yan An pointed to Xie Lanlan and went out the door with a speechless face.

The wind outside was still very strong, and it felt like it was blowing the hairline to the back of his head like a big brother. It was also the moment he went out, Yan An felt that the bgm of the opening scene of the movie was already playing in his head.

Are you that focused?

Yan An thought.

Actually no, I still recognized Xie Lanlan when I met him that time, but... I didn't pay attention to her.

And it's not because the brain-filling plot didn't pay attention to her.

The phone in his pocket rang, and when Yan An took it out to look at it, his irritability and hairline were blown to the back of his head and blocked by the wind. A message from Ruan Yu.

Because of this news, Yan An couldn't make up too much brain along the way. He took the takeaway and bought some snacks at the canteen and took them back. Served with baked sweet potatoes.

"If you want to eat, remember to wash your hands." Xie Lanlan took the things you bought, "You just touched Xiaomei, no matter how you say it, it's a stray cat."

"Well," Yan An responded, and suddenly recovered, "Who is Xiaomei?"

Xie Lanlan pointed to the cat.

"The name she just named." Jiang Shiyu added.

"No, it's a fucking white cat," Yan An pointed at the cat and whispered, "Where does it look like a plum?"

"Give me a name first, you can't call people cats and cats," Xie Lanlan stuffed the last bite of sweet potato into her mouth, and said vaguely, then took the bag from Yan An's hand and took out the cat food, "The two of you are discussing a name, anyway, you two picked it up."

Yan An looked at her speechlessly, and then at Jiang Shiyu, feeling that Jiang Shiyu had no desire to name the cat.

If Xie Lanlan didn't say anything, he really planned to call the cat a cat.

Before Jiang Shiyu bought cat food, he asked the store what kind of cat food such a small cat could eat. The store was probably kind enough to give away a small packet of goat milk powder. Xie Lanlan simply took the milk powder and went out to prepare it. , only Yan An and Jiang Shiyu were left in the room.

"You plan to give...Xiaomei," Yan An looked at Jiang Shiyu, "what kind of name do you want?"

"Jiang Xiaomei." Jiang Shiyu blurted out without thinking for a second.

"You don't remember at all, right?" Yan An sighed.

"I'm not sure if I can raise it," Jiang Shiyu said, "I don't know if my mother will agree."

"So you're afraid that you won't be able to take care of her if you have a name, will you feel sad?" Yan An asked.

"...It's not that fragile," Jiang Shiyu said, "If it can't be raised, it must be sent to a rescue station, and someone else will name it at that time."

"Your statement is not very strong." Yan An said.

Jiang Shiyu smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled.

Xiaomei had regained a little vitality, Yan An washed her hands and took the kitten food and fed it one by one. Xiaomei ate happily, but the two people in the room never spoke again, and naturally fell into a kind of "Ah, so we don't know each other well. I can't find a topic right now." Embarrassed.

Xie Lanlan rushed to some place with milk powder and didn't come back for a long time. After eating a little bit of cat food, Xiaomei refused to eat any more. She nestled in Yan An's old clothes and carefully looked at the room.

"Are you also a sophomore this year?" Yan An casually picked up a topic. Xie Lanlan had been away for too long, and if he didn't find another topic, he would be swallowed up by embarrassment.

"En." Jiang Shiyu responded.

"I just heard from my mother that you seem to be a few months older than me?" Yan An asked.

"Yes," Jiang Shiyu said, "just three months old."

"... Oh." Yan An was speechless.

Jiang Shiyu may have realized that his response was too official, and he paused for a while before introducing himself: "I... I studied in the north before, and I transferred back this time, so I should be at the same school as you."

"Huh? North?" Yan An looked up at him, "It's quite far away, right?"

"Well," Jiang Shiyu said, "it's okay."

"I read online that northerners need to bring their medical insurance card when they fight snowball fights," Yan An asked, "Is that true?"

"...Really," Jiang Shiyu looked at Yan An incomprehensibly, "We always hold the jars when we drink, and the average person is five or three. We eat dumplings all year round, no matter what the festival is, and we also eat dumplings at Christmas."

"Hey!" Yan An shouted, "I didn't mean that!"

Jiang Shiyu didn't speak.

"Don't use stereotypes to set me up, I'm just fucking joking, why don't you have a sense of humor! I just want to tell you a joke!" Yan An stared at him, his voice a little louder, " According to you, the cockroaches in our south are as tall as a person! The girls speak in a soft voice, and they can't hear without a hearing aid!"

After finishing speaking, he paused again, and then shouted: "Except for Xie Lanlan!"

Jiang Shiyu still didn't speak, but after two seconds, the corners of his mouth parted and he smiled, and the smile became stronger and stronger, and in the end he was completely in a state of joy.

"Damn it." Yan An didn't hold back after cursing, and also laughed.

The two of them played for a long time, and Xiaomei was quite dumbfounded by the music. She raised her head and looked at the two of them. In the end, it was Jiang Shiyu who finished the music first, and said, "What joke do you want to tell me?"

"...forgot," Yan An took a deep breath, with a smile still on his lips, "hey, let me tell you, I really don't have any stereotypes, I just... think it's fun, snowball fights or something, I feel It's wild and fun."

"Well," Jiang Shiyu nodded with a smile, "And I'm not a northerner either."

"That's right... By the way, there is heating," Yan An said, "What exactly is heating? Is it the same as air conditioning?"

"No," Jiang Shiyu hissed, "How should I explain it to you, this..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Lanlan opened the door and came in.

She was holding a glass of goat milk in her hand, and there was a hint of unconcealed embarrassment on her expression, which no one else could have noticed, but Yan An accurately detected something wrong with her expression.

"What's wrong?" Yan An asked immediately.

Jiang Shiyu turned his head and glanced at him.

"No," Xie Lanlan walked in. She also took a small plate, poured the goat's milk into the plate, and handed it to Xiaomei. After a while, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Shiyu, "Then what."

"Ah." Jiang Shiyu looked at her.

"When I just came back, I saw..." Xie Lanlan whispered, "Your mother is crying."

Jiang Shiyu was stunned.
