Decided to live by pretending to be a cat after being unemployed

After all this tossing, it was already eleven o'clock when I returned to my room.

I bought so many dinners at first, but no one bothered to eat them. I have been busy so far, and I am too hungry, so I am not hungry anymore.

After returning to the room, Gu Huaishan washed up briefly, and was ready to go to bed, but until he lay down on the bed and tucked in the quilt, Guan Lin kept lying on the chair with his paws in his mouth, and did not come over to squeeze him at all. Intend.

Seeing this, Gu Huaishan patted the bed he had specially vacated, and invited: "It's autumn, it's cold at night, and the bed is warm."

"I'm not afraid of the cold." Guan Lin said very coldly.

Gu Huaishan blinked, and suddenly shrank into the quilt, with a shivering look: "I'm afraid of the cold, the quilt here is so thin."

What nonsense are you talking about? Autumn has just entered, and the coldest temperature is no less than ten degrees. Even if the quilt is not thick, it will never be cold.Guan Lin thought to himself.

But he thought in his heart that Gu Huaishan was telling lies, but seeing the trembling state of the other party, his paws deviated from his rational judgment and walked towards the other party.

He took the jacket that Gu Huaishan took off in his mouth, covered Gu Huaishan's quilt, and then squatted on the side of the bed and asked, "Is it still cold?"

"Cold." Gu Huaishan spoke nonsense with his eyes open, and made an unreasonable suggestion: "Your hair is so warm, why don't you turn into your original shape and hug me to sleep?"

"No." Guan Rin refused decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Okay." Gu Huaishan lowered his eyes in disappointment, and didn't insist anymore, he just got out of the bed and turned off the light, and touched Guan Lin's hair along the way.

Guan Lin pawed away dissatisfied with the other party. This human being is getting more and more excessive. If you agree to ask before you touch it, you will ask obediently at first, but later it develops into cutting first and playing later. Now you don’t ask directly.

Guan Lin felt that it was necessary to seriously express his dissatisfaction with the other party, but Gu Huaishan seemed to know what he would say, and quickly said: "I'm asleep, good night."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and faced the wall, not giving Guan Rin a chance to speak.

Guan Lin stared in the dark for a while, and finally, amidst Gu Huaishan's slow and steady breathing, which seemed to be falling asleep, he gave up the plan to call him up to reason.

He didn't run to the chair anymore, he lay down on the specially vacated quilt next to Gu Huaishan, closed his eyes, and tried to fall asleep too.

But when he closed his eyes, those disturbing thoughts pulled him out of his drowsiness, making him sleepless for a long time.

Whether it was the Guanyin murder case or the Luobo story, it had nothing to do with Guan Lin, and he wasn't thinking about these things at the moment. mural.

During the day, in front of people, he suppressed everything, pretending to be ordinary, as if he didn't care at all, like an ordinary bystander.But in the middle of the night, when no one was paying attention to him, those things that had been suppressed all came out from the bottom of his heart, from the past memories, disturbing and making noises.

He has been lying on his stomach like this, listening to Gu Huaishan's breathing, and also listening to the neighbor who hasn't heard footsteps for a long time.

In the dead of night, everyone is asleep.

Guan Lin couldn't fall asleep, and after trying to fall asleep many times to no avail, at twelve o'clock in the morning, he jumped off Gu Huaishan's bed.

The soft paw pads made him almost silent when he landed. He left the room lightly and walked through the corridor without anyone noticing.

But when they walked to the room at the top of the stairs, a fluffy dog ​​poked its head out and took a look.

Lang Er didn't sleep either, he was watching over his brother.

Guan Lin put his paws up to his mouth, and gave Lang Er a "shh".

Lang Er nodded his head, indicating that he knew.

Guan Rin continued walking, he went downstairs and disappeared from Lang Er's sight.Lang Er stared at Guan Rin's back for a while. Although he didn't know what the orange cat was up to in the middle of the night, it was more important to guard his brother, so he didn't care.

But, about a quarter of an hour later, there was movement outside the door again, and when Lang Er poked his head out to observe again, Gu Huaishan did the same thing as Guan Lin, and smiled at Lang Er and gave a "shh".

Lang Er nodded in agreement again, he watched Gu Huaishan go downstairs and left, muttering in his heart how strange these two were, and then he huddled together and huddled next to the big wolf that was several times his size.

Guan Lin went downstairs first, a quarter of an hour was enough to go far away, it would be very difficult for Gu Huaishan to find him.But he didn't need to look for it at all, he walked towards a place with a clear goal, and he knew that Guan Rin would be there.

Sure enough, when Gu Huaishan came to the corridor with murals, he saw an orange cat squatting alone in the dark.

The lights in the corridor were not turned on, but the emergency evacuation lighting signs in the hall gave off a hazy halo in the dark, so that the vision would not be too dim, and the general outline of Guan Lin could be seen clearly.

I don't know whether it's deliberate or not, but the place where he sits is a blind spot where the light doesn't reach, his whole body is hidden in the darkness, no one can see his expression, and he doesn't need to be on guard anymore.

But the closed sense of security brought to him by this darkness disappeared after Gu Huaishan arrived.

As early as when Gu Huaishan was going downstairs, Guan Lin raised his head vigilantly, and as the sound of Gu Huaishan's footsteps got closer, the expression he showed in the dark before quickly retracted like daytime.

When Gu Huaishan really came here, Guan Lin's expression could no longer see any clues from before, and he asked with a straight face, "Why are you here?"

"I sleep on the bed, and I can't sleep here. I woke up after a while. I wanted to continue to sleep, but I turned my head and saw that you were gone, so I came down to look for it." Gu Huaishan said with a smile.

While talking, he walked to Guan Rin very naturally, and then crossed his legs, not thinking the ground was cold, and just sat down next to Guan Rin.

After sitting down and looking up, I saw the thing that made Guan Lin come here in a daze late at night. It was a mural on the wall, and it was also a real person in the mural.

Guan Lin wanted to drive the other party back to sleep, but before he could speak, Gu Huaishan spoke first: "Tell me about it."

say what?Guan Lin was taken aback.

Gu Huaishan turned his head, looked directly into Guan Lin's eyes, and said again: "Tell me about your past."

Guan Rin understood this time, but he... After being silent for a while, he said in an impatient tone: "There is nothing to say." He was fierce, as if he would bite someone angrily if he asked again.

"Really?" Gu Huaishan was not intimidated by Guan Lin's bravado, he held his chin and asked with a smile, "Then why did you come here alone in the middle of the night without sleeping?"

"You refused to answer the question that Lang Er asked you during the day." Gu Huaishan looked up at the scene on the mural, the scene where the female leader and the demon king confronted each other across the water: "Only questions related to yourself will be answered." Care, if you are an irrelevant stranger, you will not react like this."

"Guan Lin, you know her, right?"

Guan Lin was silent again.

His mouth seemed to be welded together, and he made up his mind not to utter a word.

But Gu Huaishan also made up his mind, tonight, he would pry Guan Rin's mouth open and expose those moldy wounds in his heart to the sun. It would be very painful, but only in this way would heal begin.

"Who is she to you?" Guan Lin didn't say anything, but Gu Huaishan guessed on his own, deliberately guessing in an outrageous direction: "Is it your mother? A friend? Could it be a lover?"

"No!" Guan Lin finally couldn't help but refute.

"What is that?" Gu Huaishan blinked innocently.

"Yes..." Guan Rin was about to say it, but in the next moment, he closed his mouth again and remained silent.

Gu Huaishan sighed in his heart, and he lowered his voice: "She is your sister, right?"

What responded to him was Guan Rin's long silence, longer than before.And in the silence that lasted as long as a century, Gu Huaishan almost thought that he had failed.

"Her name is Guan Leng..." Guan Rin spoke softly, so lightly that if you don't pay attention, you will miss it.

Gu Huaishan did not miss it, he said "um", a short word, but it gave people a sense of peace of mind, because it let you know that someone is always with you in the lonely dark night.

No matter how hard the shell is, once a mouth is opened, the seemingly indestructible hardness will disappear.

"She is my sister..." Guan Rin looked at the first scene of the mural, and his memory went back to the long past. That was the beginning of everything, the beginning of Guan Rin's life, and the beginning of the prisoner's world.

"The tenth leader of the Bi An clan was attacked and killed by the demon king's army when he went out to play. Those were her parents and mine, and I was also there at that time." Guan Lin said softly, but when it came to his parents His expression was not very sad, but only a strange alienation.

He was too young at that time. He didn't even open his eyes when he was a newborn cub, and he didn't see his parents with his own eyes. He only vaguely remembered that there were two people who would often hug him, but No more, no more.

Therefore, Guan Rin is not very sad about the death of his parents. They are like strangers to Guan Rin.There were no photos in that era, so I could only imagine what my parents looked like by listening to the descriptions of others, but my own imagination was always one-sided and subjective. It can be said that until today when I saw this mural recording history, Guan Lin had a feeling that "they were originally Such a "trance".

"Wherever the magic army goes, there are always no survivors. My parents were killed, and other people present were not spared, and they were slaughtered. I was lucky, and my parents put them on a wooden board in advance. The stream floated out, and he narrowly escaped to death."

He said it lightly, but in fact, the magic army didn't kill him, but the stream almost killed him.

Most cats are not good at water, tigers are the only exception, and the people of the Biyan clan who are very similar to tigers are also good at water.

But no matter how good it is, a cub that is only the size of a palm and has weak limbs is impossible to compete against the stream.

He had been soaking in the stream for a long time, the water was choppy, and he fell off the plank several times. He was immature and ignorant, but he knew instinctively that if there was no plank, he would be swallowed by these cold and flowing things, so He has been holding on to the wooden board tightly, even though his body wet by the stream is getting colder and colder, so cold that he almost fell into a dying stiffness, he did not let go.

This move saved him, and after he soaked in the stream for so long, he persisted until Guan Leng found him.

"Guan Leng, does this name sound cold and not easy to get close to? Actually it is not. My sister is a very gentle and careful person in private. Although my parents died early, she has always taken care of me. During the growth process, I'm no less than other people with healthy families." When Guan Lin talked about Guan Leng, he unconsciously lowered his usual fierce tone, revealing a tenderness that he didn't have for others.

The relationship between their siblings is very good.Gu Huaishan has always known, and because of this, the relationship between him and Guan Lin is so irreversible.

The memory evoked in his heart was not as calm as Guan Rin's, but he still smiled as usual and listened quietly.
