It's a human being!

Headed back to school the next day.

When he was about to arrive at school, Zhou Zhou suddenly remembered: "Do you want to pick up the dumplings first?"

After all, they haven't seen Tuanzi for three days. Before they came, they handed over Tuanzi to Shen Yueze's care, and they don't know how they are doing.

Jin Ci nodded: "Well, do you want to go together?"

Zhou Zhou said happily: "Yes! I really want dumplings."

Before leaving Jiujinhai this morning, he specially bought a package of local dried fish as a small gift for the dumpling, to make up for the regret that it didn't come to play.

The car stopped next to Shen Yueze's shop. The first and second floors were the storefront, and the third floor was his residence.

It's lunch time now, but there is still no one in the shop.The receptionist at the door saw the two people coming and was about to come up to greet them, when they heard a scream piercing the sky from upstairs, the sound was very tragic and frightening.

Zhou Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and his footsteps stopped.

The receptionist seemed to be much more familiar with the situation, and walked up without changing his face as if he hadn't heard it, and said to them respectfully: "The two of you are here to find the store manager, right? I'll take you up."

Zhou Zhou couldn't help but looked up and looked upstairs, but didn't see anything unusual, so he asked the receptionist, "What... was that sound just now?"

The expression on the receptionist's face subtly froze for a moment, he hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Go and see the store manager first, the store manager has been looking forward to your visit very, very much these two days."

Although the word "special" was emphasized in the words, Shen Yueze hadn't met him a few times, and thinking about it, he should be looking forward to Jin Ci's arrival.

Zhou Zhou looked at Jin Ci, who had a calm expression on his face, as if he was not at all curious about what happened just now, and he didn't care much about it.

After going up to the third floor, some strange sounds of tables and chairs colliding gradually could be heard, as if a large group of people were playing eagles and chickens upstairs thrillingly.

Zhou Zhou just stood still at the top of the stairs, when he heard the sound of light running, a group of white shadows crossed a perfect parabola from the air, and flew towards his arms.

"Duanzi!" Zhou Zhou happily caught the dumpling, and rubbed its fluffy and snow-white fur twice. The familiar touch made people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the corner next door.

"Give me the dead cat..." The angry cry stopped abruptly in the air.

A embarrassed figure rushed out from the corner, as if he hadn't expected that there were still people standing here, and it was too late to brake. Seeing that the two were about to collide, Jin Ci quickly grabbed Zhou Zhou's waist with a sharp hand, and turned sideways to avoid it. opened.

"Ow—"

Shen Yueze lost her balance and fell to the ground, her hair was messed up as if she had been caught by a chicken, and her clothes were messed up.He got up from the ground in pain, and there were two bloody claw marks on his white face for some reason, which looked quite tragic.

Zhou Zhou was stunned holding the dumpling.

"...You," Shen Yueze first saw the dumpling in his arms, and was furious, then his eyes shifted, and his expression slowly changed to unbelievable shock.He looked up at the two of them, and raised his hand tremblingly, "You, you really...!!"

Zhou Zhou looked confused: "Us?"

Shen Yueze pointed at Zhou Zhou's waist aggrievedly, stared at Jin Ci and took two steps to complain: "Brother Ci, you agreed that you are not interested in men, did you lie to me before?!"

As if a sea mine exploded in the air with a bang, Zhou Zhou quickly realized what the other party had misunderstood.

He is now almost half leaning in Jin Ci's arms, and Jin Ci's hand is still on his waist, so it seems that it is indeed easy to cause misunderstanding.

Zhou Zhou blushed and hurriedly got out of the other party's arms: "No, you misunderstood..."

He pushed twice, and found that Jin Ci's hands were still motionless like iron pliers, and even pressed a little tighter.

Jin Ci looked at Shen Yueze without changing his face, and said coldly: "What did I say?"

The atmosphere was a little stalemate.

Shen Yueze stared at them hesitantly, but was defeated by Jin Ci's icy gaze after a while, the fiery red fox tail trembled a few times, and broke down, covering his face with his hands and ran into the room whimpering.

Zhou Zhou stood stiffly in place, not daring to look at the other party's expression at all.

After a few seconds, the hand on his waist finally let go.

In Zhou Zhou's mind, there seemed to be a turbulent sea rolling and roaring. When the waves calmed down a bit, he stared at the dumpling in his arms, and said dryly, "Well, Senior Jin, you don't need to explain, I understand."

He felt the other's eyes fall on his face.

Zhou Zhou took a deep breath: "I know Senior Jin said that on purpose in order to reject him. It's okay, I won't misunderstand, and I am very happy to help you!"

As soon as these words came out, there was another unspeakable silence in the air.

Zhou Zhou's heart was pounding, and even he himself didn't know what he was nervous about. He even subconsciously pinched the claws of the dumpling until he squeezed the dumpling until he let out a "meow" roar, and then hurriedly let go.

Jin Ci turned and went downstairs, his tone was flat and no emotions could be heard: "I'm going back."

Zhou Zhou was taken aback, and quickly followed the other party.

Tuanzi scratched back and forth restlessly in his arms, probably smelling the scent of dried fish, and kept stretching out his paws to hook the bag on Zhouzhou's back.

Zhou Zhou held it down, and said in a low voice, "Your nose is too sharp, don't worry, I'll eat it for you when I get back... Hiss!"

Inadvertently, Tuanzi's sharp claws scratched the back of Zhou Zhou's hand. As soon as Zhou Zhou frowned, he felt his wrist was being held.

Jin Ci turned around and looked closely at the skin on the back of his hand. He didn't let go of his hand until he confirmed that it was only a pale mark and the skin was not broken.

"It's time for Tuanzi to cut his nails." Jin Ci glanced at Tuanzi with his dark eyes, probably frightened by the fierce coercion, Tuanzi no longer insisted on hooking the backpack, and curled up obediently in Zhou Zhou's arms. It was a small ball, with the tips of its ears drooping slightly, looking pitiful.

Seeing it like this, Zhou Zhou hurriedly said, "I'm fine, don't be angry with it."

He held the ball's paw and touched it. The nails were really a bit long, and they really should be cut.I couldn't help thinking of the two scratches on Shen Yueze's face, and felt a little guilty: "Shen Yueze seems to have been scratched by it twice on his face. It looks serious, and I don't know if it's okay."

Jin Ci said affirmatively: "That little injury is nothing to him."

Zhou Zhou thought for a while and sighed imperceptibly.

"What's wrong?" Jin Ci asked.

Zhou Zhou looked at Jin Ci hesitantly, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I just suddenly felt that he seemed to be quite miserable. He was caught by a dumpling on his face, and he was also loved by someone..."

Halfway through the conversation, Zhou Zhou suddenly felt that he shouldn't have said this, after all, it was a private matter between the two of them.

But for some reason, when he saw Jin Ci coldly rejecting the other party, there seemed to be some secret place in his heart that curled up accordingly.

Maybe it's because Jin Ci has never been so indifferent before, so after witnessing such a scene, he suddenly realized that Jin Ci can be so ruthless when rejecting people.

"You misunderstood." Jin Ci looked at him firmly, "Shen Yueze doesn't like me."

Zhou Zhou raised his head suddenly, stared at him in shock and bewilderment for a few seconds, making sure he heard right: "How could it be, he obviously..."

"That's not liking." Jin Ci repeated.

"...?"

"If you want to count, it's just racial attraction."

"……Race?"

Zhou Zhou felt even more at a loss, he could understand every word, why couldn't he understand it together?What race, Huaxia people, but Shen Yueze doesn't look like a foreigner either?

Ah, wait, Jin Ci is human, Shen Yueze is not, so is this the racial attraction of pure humans to monsters! ?

"I see. I understand." Zhou Zhou nodded with a sudden realization.

"And," Jin Ci paused.

"and?"

"..." Jin Ci looked at him for a while, then reached out to rub his hair, "It's nothing, let's go."

Before leaving, Zhou Zhou took out a bag of dried fish that he bought as a thank you gift to Shen Yueze for taking care of the dumpling.

Tuanzi watched helplessly that a bag of Xiaoyugan was lost for no reason, and struggled to jump out to take it back, but Jin Ci grabbed the back of his neck and pulled it out of Zhou Zhou's arms.

This time I finally settled down.

Zhou Zhou sighed: "Sure enough, Senior Jin has a solution."

Jin Ci was noncommittal: "You spoil it too much."

Zhou Zhou said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do about it. Seeing how cute Tuanzi looks, my heart melts. How can I get angry?"

Out of the corner of Jin Ci's eyes fell on him, he didn't know what he thought of, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "That's true."

On the way back to the apartment, Zhou Zhou received a message from Jin Yuanbao.

[Xiao Zhouzhou, did you say last time that you are still staying in the apartment? 】

[Is the kitchen usable? ? ? 】

After Zhou Zhou returned, the other party couldn't wait to send a long voice, every word was filled with blood and tears:

【Very good!My mother sent me a lot of sausages, the ones we ate very delicious when we were young. I was really hungry, but you know the situation in my dormitory. I just put the pot on the dormitory. I rushed in, followed by two firefighters. The force scared me to death as if I was going to burn down the building. Even the sausages were almost confiscated... so can I come to your place to cook the sausages? ? 】

[Also, Xiao Zhouzhou, I'm ptsd on the face of the dorm manager now, can I come and stay for two days?

The voice was turned on, and Jin Ci also looked over.

Zhou Zhou didn't expect such a request from him, so he was a little embarrassed.The owner of the house is by his side, so it is natural to ask about the owner's intentions first, and right now he can only bite the bullet and ask: "Senior Jin, he..."

"The gold source treasure of biology class one."

Zhou Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Ah yes, it's him..."

How did Jin Ci know his name, and that he was from the biology class?

Have you ever said that before?

Before he had time to think deeply, he heard Jin Ci say again: "The person who took you to the zoo."

"..." Zhou Zhou's face was a little burning, and he wanted to bury his face in the ground.

This is too clear, right?

And is this the thing that impressed you the most?

Jin Ci's expression lightened a little, and it seemed that even his tone of voice also lightened a little: "Since he is a good friend of Zhouzhou, it's okay."

Although Jin Ci usually speaks calmly, Zhou Zhou still vaguely felt an indescribable difference. The feeling was too subtle, like a drop of ink falling on the surface of the sea and then dispersed without leaving any trace.

Zhou Zhou had no choice but to say, "Thank you, Senior Jin."

He followed the voice and said to Jin Yuanbao: "I just asked the senior, it's okay for you to come and sleep for two days, but you can only sleep on the sofa at night."

Jin Ci glanced at him from the corner of his eye: "Let him sleep on the sofa?"

Zhou Zhou plausibly said: "Of course, he grinds his teeth at night, how could he sleep with me! So don't worry, Senior Jin, he will sleep on the first floor if he comes, and he will definitely not disturb us."

Jin Ci looked at him for a while, lowered his eyes halfway, and seemed to smile: "So that's the case, okay."

The subtle atmosphere just now disappeared, and Zhou Zhou felt as if he was being swept away by warmth, and his heart suddenly felt comfortable.

Sure enough, it was all an illusion just now.

Jin Xuechang is such a good person, how can he be inexplicably angry? !
