I woke up with eight tails

Almost at the moment when this idea appeared, the dead bones finally broke out from the dusty mud at the bottom of the lake, tearing out thin and deep cracks in the perfect mirror.

Once the hint appeared, all doubts in the past, at this moment, all rushed to the surface of the lake.

……forget?

What is "forgotten"?

What is "remember"?

If "remembering" means "memories", and "memory" means things that "I" have experienced in this world, then why haven't these things left any traces in this world?

Empty friend lists, non-existent Internet users, and empty relationships.

What can prove that they once really existed?

Lou Lian closed his eyes, and his consciousness seemed to fly to a very high place.

--Who are you?

Suddenly, he heard a voice asking.

He said without thinking, "My name is Loulian."

--what do you?

He said, "I used to be a human, but now I am a demon."

——How long have you been a person?

"..." This time he thought for a while before hesitating, "I died in 28? 28 years."

The voice laughed.

It was like hearing a joke, sarcasm without hesitation, mixed with deep sorrow.

In the end, the laughter got stuck in his throat, Lou even felt breathless when he heard it.

"Fool, how could it have been so long." Lou Lian said softly when he heard the voice that was very similar to his own, "Let me tell you, when you died, the medical insurance system was not as perfect as it is now, and Qin Xiang was not as perfect as it is now. So restrained, from counterfeit drugs to illegal drugs to drugs, some people can cover the sky with one hand - if you stand behind him, how can you have no money so that you can't repay the loan?"

"You certainly didn't live to be 28."

Seeing that Lou Lian didn't reply for a long time, the voice continued to say softly: "The year that sir held the cup, and the year after grandpa left, everything has come to an end for you."

Lou Lian tried very hard to recall, but couldn't find the relevant memory no matter what, but somewhere in his heart he knew clearly that everything this voice said was not all lies.

For a long time, he heard himself asking, "What year was that?"

"—When I was 25, less than four years ago."

"No," Lou Lian shook his head, as if he had finally grasped a life-saving straw, and asked unwillingly: "Impossible. If I really died more than three years ago, why would I know what happened from that year to half a year ago? ? I know the existence of "January", and I have watched many new movies released in the past two years!"

"Huh..." The other party laughed again when he heard the words, "In your memory, you should still be making money in the last three years, right? You might as well ask your 'colleagues', have they known you? Your online account , your social circle... did they really exist?"

Lou Lian was silent.He remembered that not long after he woke up in this life, he had already tried to log in to those things when his husband was away.

All the results point to only one answer - he is someone who does not exist.

The answer that Orange Blossom could not give finally got a unique answer today.

"Some gods built you a dream of being connected to the world for three years, until half a year ago." The other party's tone became lighter and lighter, with unspeakable compassion.

Lou Lian asked with some difficulty: "Then how did I die?"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly found the answer himself.

In his previous life, when he was 25 years old, he had actually been diagnosed with a disease that was probably inherited from his mother - non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Commonly known as lymphoma.

"No..." The voice seemed to have guessed what Lou Lian was thinking, and it came out again, but in fact it was already very empty and ethereal, so light that it would disappear at any time, "No, you did commit suicide by jumping off the building, but In order to escape the court-"

"Like those two unlucky guys, you are also a guilty person, and you really don't deserve him."

Leaving this sentence like a nuclear bomb, the voice disappeared, disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Lou Lian stayed helpless, tightly huddled together, like an abandoned kitten.After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt his cheeks cool down, as if the air swirled into an air current to kiss him, and then, a strange tactile sensation enveloped his whole body lightly, strange but gentle.However, he was just stunned and disappeared.

"..."

Lou Lian woke up suddenly, only to realize that his whole body was soaked at some time, and his clothes were stuck to his body with cold sweat, which made him very uncomfortable.

His face was also wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was tears or sweat.

There was still chaos in his mind, and the limpness flowing through his limbs told him that he fell asleep again earlier.And according to the tears on his face, he had a sad dream.

"Ah--" Lou Lian got up and sneezed hard, feeling very cold.

Qin Fangfei hadn't come back yet, so Lou Lian had no choice but to go through the other party's clothes on his own, found a thick coat and wrapped it up in a ball.The weather has turned cold for a long time, and the hotel has already turned on the warm air, but it can't alleviate the tragic cold situation of being hairless after becoming a human.

But Lou Lian's stubborn temper came up, and he didn't want to turn back into a cat for a while.

"I really want to take a bath." This is a single room, and of course there is only one bathrobe.The more Lou Lian thought about it, the more wronged he became. He really hated himself for not stalking him before and adding his husband's WeChat account, which made it impossible to contact him now. "When are you coming back?"

The second hand swiped a few more laps, Lou Lian inadvertently glanced at the calendar on the phone, and finally couldn't help it.

He opened the dial page, faced the neat grid, and pressed a series of numbers hesitantly and coherently.

After typing eleven digits, click the green oval dial key.

As long as the other party hasn't changed their phone number

As long as I still use the phone number from years ago

"Hello?" A familiar voice rang in my ear.

"..." Lou Lian was speechless for a while, his throat was sore and astringent.

"Which one?"

"..."

There was silence for several seconds on both sides.

Suddenly, Lou Lian heard the other person speak again: "Is it... a cat?"

Huge grievances hit his heart, and Lou Lian howled loudly: "Why - why haven't you come back - where are you, where are you!!"

"...I'm downstairs, I'll be there soon." Through the phone, Qin Fangfei comforted me very gently, "Be good, Maomao, I'm almost there, 5 minutes at most. Have you had dinner yet?"

"Eat, eat..."

"Like it?"

"I like... Meow woo woo woo woo woo—"

"..."

Qin Fangfei listened to the out-of-tune meowing from the mobile phone, which seemed to be accusing and whimpering, as if he had been wronged by the great, which made him feel funny and at the same time feel distressed.

He opened the door in two steps in three steps, and before the briefcase was put down, a black shadow threw himself into his arms first.

That speed is too fast to be human-no, this one is not human at all.

Qin Fangfei sighed, and entered the room with the hot dumpling in his arms, the door closed automatically behind him, isolating the inside and the outside.

Sitting on the sofa, the dumpling in his arms adjusted his posture, but still buried his head deeply in the sweater, refusing to pull it out.

Qin Fangfei rubbed the cat's head: "Sorry, I'm late."

After a long time, Lou Lian slowly crawled out, got into a pile of clothes, changed back into a human form, and asked sullenly, "Where have you been..."

"Some things." Qin Fangfei got up, took off his coat and hung it on the hook, and was stunned when he turned around, "Have you ever cried?"

"No." Lou Lian lowered his head and pulled his tail out from his trouser waist. "I just woke up and wanted to take a bath."

Qin Fangfei frowned, and now he didn't care about the three chapters of the contract that said he was not allowed to become a human in the house. He walked up to Lou Lian, squatted down, raised his chin, and looked at him carefully.

Lou Lian pursed his lips and emphasized again: "I just woke up!"

"Oh," Qin Fangfei didn't expose it, and took advantage of the opportunity to pinch the boy's soft cheeks, and said casually, "Take a bath? Just go directly."

"...no bathrobe."

"You go first, I'll send it up from below."

"..."

Looking at the pair of constantly swinging ears, Qin Fangfei suddenly said: "You want me to wash it for you?"

Lou Lian finally raised his head, his green eyes were steaming: "Isn't it possible?"

Qin Fangfei couldn't help pinching those ears: "Yes." Of course, it can become a small one when the fur is wet, so cute, how can it be not.

Lou Lian sniffled, took off his coat, and walked to the bathroom.

Qin Fangfei went to get a large basin, a steel comb, and all other bathing utensils for cats.

In the middle of it, he suddenly remembered the conversation between the two of them earlier - why did they take the bathrobe?

"..."

"gentlemen--"

Qin Fangfei turned around, and saw a head protruding from the bathroom door, a boy with cat ears was reddish under the steaming heat, and was looking at him timidly, with the tip of his jet-black tail poking playfully outside: "I, I want Soak for a while, I won't go back...can you come over here..."

"Oh."

Qin Fangfei put down the black and white bubble ball in his hand in a daze, and before he moved, he heard the other party cautiously say: "That, take that together."

Qin Fangfei said, "This is for cats."

Lou Lian tilted his head: "I am."

"..." Qin Fangfei walked over with the bubble ball, and after realizing that the other party hadn't started to take off his clothes, he closed his eyes in relief or disappointment, "What's wrong?"

Lou Lian pointed to the faucet on the bathtub: "I can't put it on."

After staying for more than half a month, Qin Fangfei only used the shower opposite, so he didn't use the bathtub either.He walked to the tank, studied the faucet for a while, and hot water was released easily.

"Wait a minute," Qin Fangfei watched as the clear water slowly covered the bottom, pulled out a towel, bent down, and began to scrub the snow-white bottom and sides of the tank vigorously, "I'll wash it first."

Lou Lian sat beside him, a little dumbfounded.

This suite is said to be a hotel suite, but in fact, after staying for so many days, it is more like renting a house. With its own equipment, it will definitely not be as dirty as an ordinary hotel.

Lou Lian looked at the man beside him who started to spray disinfectant on the water outlet, couldn't help getting up and leaning over, wrapped his arms around the man's waist from behind, put his head on Qin Fangfei's back, and rubbed it lightly.

Qin Fangfei obviously paused: "...Maomao?"

Lou Lian murmured: "Do you like me? You know..." Who am I?

He seemed to be suffering from skin hunger and thirst, and the tighter and tighter it was, even his tail was wrapped around it, "I just found out that today is November [-]th."

"November...six?"

——1106, the birthday of Lou Lian's previous life, the password of Qin Fangfei's mobile phone.

"Yes," Lou Lian took a deep breath, twisted in front of Qin Fangfei, and sat on the edge of the bathtub. The two of them were so close that they could feel each other's breath, "Sir, celebrate my birthday... okay?"
