[Rat cat] Mirror City

The clouds cover the moon, the brilliance fades away, the laughter and laughter in the ears are covered with veils, and gradually fade away until nothingness.Bai Yutang opened his eyes, and Zhan Zhao looked at him in confusion.

A little cold, Bai Yutang hugged Zhan Zhao a little tighter, with an inexplicable sense of joy remaining in his heart.Sitting comfortably against Zhan Zhao's face, Bai Yutang said lazily, "Cat, I seemed to have a dream just now."

"Me too." Zhan Zhao gently grabbed the corner of Bai Yutang's clothes, "I don't remember the content of the dream..." He raised his head, met Bai Yutang's eyes, and saw surprise in Bai Yutang's eyes.

Although I don't remember, the two of them must have had the same dream.Zhan Zhao held Bai Yutang's face and pressed it against Bai Yutang's forehead, "But I feel very happy, really happy."

"Me too." Bai Yutang said with a smile, it's a pity that he doesn't remember what happened in the dream, but the happiness and warmth brought by the dream are still there, that's enough.

The foreheads of the two of them were touching like this. Although it was so cold outside, the two of them leaned together, warming the air with their smiles.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were leaning against the rock, and were about to talk about what to do next, when a small head appeared above them.

In the darkness, the cat's eyes were particularly lively, and before Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came back to their senses, they let out a "meow".

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang immediately sat up, turned their heads, and saw a black cat sitting there, looking at them with its head tilted.Seeing that the two of them finally noticed him, they let out another "meow".

It was only then that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang noticed that there was a lantern behind the cat, and the black cat looked a little weird under the dim light of the fire.

Lanterns...someone has been here.This recognition made both of them startled, and they immediately looked around warily, but no one noticed, could it be that they walked in?Then why leave a lantern here?

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were worried, so they planned to jump off.As a result, the cat was faster than the two people, and immediately walked to the side of the two, raised its paw and patted Zhan Zhao's leg, "Meow."

"Ask me not to go?" Zhan Zhao stopped immediately, always feeling that the cat wanted to tell them something.Think about it carefully, if someone goes in, there is no need to leave a lantern here.

Bai Yutang didn't think about this, he just looked at the cat's body, thought for a while, stretched out his hand and scratched the cat's stomach, "Cat, are you talking to this cat?"

Before Zhan Zhao could answer, Bai Yutang suddenly reached out and hugged the cat.The cat was not afraid of life, it just dexterously rolled over in Bai Yutang's arms, jumped onto Bai Yutang's shoulder and sat firmly.

"Don't move!" Zhan Zhao immediately said while the cat sat firmly.As soon as Bai Yutang heard it, he immediately kept still, letting Zhan Zhao take out his phone and "click" at him.

After a while, Bai Yutang couldn't hold back any longer, "Are you alright?"

"Okay." Zhan Zhao smiled and handed the phone to Bai Yutang. Bai Yutang lowered his head, and the black cat on his shoulder also lowered his head. One person and one cat seemed to be looking at the photos taken by Zhan Zhao.

Bai Yutang felt pretty good about himself, and then he felt the weight on his shoulders, "Don't tell me, cat, this cat looks good, and it's quite heavy... Hiss!"

The black cat was sitting on Bai Yutang's shoulder, and its tail was dangling behind Bai Yutang's back. It just so happened that this tail accidentally hit the back of Bai Yutang's hand hard.

As soon as Bai Yutang raised his hand, he grabbed the cat by the back of the neck, brought it in front of him, and asked with a dark face, "Do you know what you did?"

The black cat didn't struggle when being carried by Bai Yutang, but swung its tail more forcefully, and it meowed again, with a protracted tone, which sounded to Bai Yutang as "Master Cat, I just dumped you." provocative words.

"Cat, take care of this cat!" Bai Yutang raised his head and said to Zhan Zhao.

Helplessly watching one person and one cat fight like this, Zhan Zhao held the cat in his arms with a smile, leaned over to look at Bai Yutang's back, "Does it hurt?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, although it hurt a little from being hit just now, it didn't hurt that much.Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said to the black cat, "You can't do this."

The black cat raised its head to look at Zhan Zhao, and meowed innocently.Zhan Zhao sighed, it's useless to tell the cat, isn't it?When Bai Yutang's injury was brought up again, Zhan Zhao's heart sank again.

He couldn't wait to pull Bai Yutang to jump off the rock, "We'll find the way out, it won't be a problem with the lantern lighting." Now is not the time to waste time here.

When Bai Yutang jumped off the rock, the black cat suddenly jumped out of Zhan Zhao's hand, took two steps away, turned around and "meowed" at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

"Is it following us?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao uncertainly. During the period of silence between the two, the cat repeated the above action twice, and the meow became louder each time.

Zhan Zhao nodded, "It may know the way out, anyway, he can't press the switch on the wall like us to come in." With the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Zhan Zhao held the lantern and talked with Bai Yutang Follow the cat together.

The black cat led the two of them to the edge of the rock wall, and suddenly straightened up, with its two paws scratching non-stop on a rock.Zhan Zhao walked over knowingly and found that the stone could be turned.

Zhan Zhao turned around, and soon a stone door was opened in front of the two of them.As soon as the rock wall was opened, the black cat jumped in, meowing at the two in the dark, urging Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to follow.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't hesitate, and followed the black cat inside.The black cat is very familiar with this place, and its footsteps are particularly brisk, but fortunately, no matter how it plays around, it is always within the range of the lantern lighting, allowing the two of them to clearly see its lead.

They walked very easily in the passage, and soon, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked out of the passage.The green trees and gray rocks are all blurred in the night, but their silhouettes make Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang feel as if they have passed away.

After sighing for a while, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed the black cat and continued to walk out.The road under their feet became more and more flat, the black cat led the two people around, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang discovered that the cat was leading two people down the mountain.

Finally, they reached the foot of the mountain, but they didn't look like they came up the mountain in front of them. At a glance, there was a vast expanse. Here, it seemed to be the other side of the mountain.

Vaguely, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw sparks flickering not far away, and the black cat "meowed" and jumped forward, completely ignoring Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

The two looked at each other, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked towards it, and when they got closer, they found that there was a small house here, and an old man was sitting on a rocking chair at the door, covered with a thick blanket, teasingly lying on his back Black cat on lap.

The flickering sparks that the two of them saw just now were emitted by the old man's pipe.Seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, the old man turned his pipe upside down and tapped on the leg of the rocking chair to remove the ashes from the tobacco. Then he stood up and looked at the two with squinted eyes and a smile.

"It's finally down. I was wondering where the kitty took you two just now." The old man smiled and was very gentle, looking at the two of them like a grandson who went out to play mischievously and forgot to come home.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little embarrassed to be looked at by the old man like that.The old man pushed open the door, "Come in, it's cold outside."

Zhan Zhao blew out the lantern and thanked the old man, "Thank you old man, you left this lantern for the two of us, right?"

The old man nodded and poured two cups of hot water for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "My surname is Song, you can call me Mr. Song." Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also said their names.

Elder Song nodded, and continued, "The cat told me to go up the mountain. I thought something happened. As soon as I went up the mountain and saw the two of you, I fell asleep like this. It's true that you are young and in good health. You must catch a cold if you sleep like this for one night. .Old man, I can’t wake you two up, so I left the kitten there, and let him bring you down when you wake up.”

Speaking of this, the old man raised his hand and touched the head of the cat lying on the table, "Fortunately, you two woke up early, thanks to you."

"Meow." Hearing the old man's praise, the black cat let out a cry of joy, and rubbed its head against the old man's hand. The old man smiled happily.

Holding the water glasses, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao hesitated to speak.Sensing the hesitation of the two, the old man said gently, "It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do, and sleep in my grandson's room tonight."

The old man wanted to lead Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to the second floor without hesitation, but Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "Old Song, do you have a medicine box at home?" Zhan Zhao was still thinking about Bai Yutang's back injury.

"Injured?" Elder Song looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang in surprise, and finally confirmed that the injured person was Bai Yutang, shaking his head in disapproval, "The young man doesn't say anything when he is injured."

Bai Yutang was a little embarrassed, and explained that the pain was not that great.The old man found the medicine box in the cabinet and handed it to Zhan Zhao, "Is the injury serious? It's a bit far from the hospital, and it will take some time to get there. It's not very convenient."

Bai Yutang quickly waved his hands, "It's just scratches, not very serious." This is true, the injuries he suffered only looked horrific, they were all superficial, not particularly serious.

It may be that the old man is too easy-going, so that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang quickly relaxed their nerves in this strange hut.The two of them quickly took a shower. When Bai Yutang came out, Zhan Zhao was sitting by the bed, squinting at him with the medicine in his hand, "Take off your clothes."

"Cat, that's a good word." Bai Yutang walked towards Zhan Zhao with a smile, took off his shirt cooperatively, and lay down on the bed. The wound was washed with water, and it looked particularly dazzling under the light.

Zhan Zhao looked at the wound on Bai Yutang's back, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. In the end, he couldn't help it anymore, and he slapped Bai Yutang's back with his palm. The force was not strong, but it was not small. Bai Yutang groaned With a sound.

"Now you know it hurts?" Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang coldly, poking around the wound on his back, not directly on the wound, but it still hurts, but Zhan Zhao seems to be addicted, "Now Do you know how to say anything? You were the only one who pretended to be quiet just now. You didn’t say anything until I asked Mr. Song to get the medicine, right?”

Bai Yutang knew it was his fault, so he let Zhan Zhao poke his back. After a while, he turned around and took Zhan Zhao's hand, bumping into Cheng Zhao's eyes full of worry, his heart moved, Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao put his hand on his forehead, "Cat, I hurt."

Three words melted the anger in Zhan Zhao's eyes at once. Zhan Zhao wanted to pull out his hand anxiously, but Bai Yutang grabbed hold of it. Bai Yutang played with Zhan Zhao's good-looking hand, "Cat, Didn't you just take a shower? Why are your hands so cold?"

"Your cat master, I feel cold." Being caught by Bai Yutang made him anxious, Zhan Zhao couldn't choose what to say.Although Zhan Zhao himself was startled by the words, Bai Yutang was even more shocked than him, laughing so hard that his hands lost strength, Zhan Zhao took the opportunity to pull his hands out.

Originally, he thought that Zhan Zhao would directly apply the medicine to himself, but as soon as Bai Yutang relaxed a little, he heard the sound of clothes rubbing, the bed seemed to move, Bai Yutang turned his head, and saw that Zhan Zhao had already got up.

"Cat, where are you going?" Bai Yutang couldn't wait to think about the reason for Zhan Zhao's departure, Bai Yutang's body had already reacted first, and pulled Zhan Zhao's hand forcefully towards the bed.

Zhan Zhao didn't expect Bai Yutang's move, and fell on his back on the bed, his whole body fell on Bai Yutang's body.

Zhan Zhao quickly got up from Bai Yutang, half of his body was lying on the bed, half of his body was suspended in the air, as soon as he looked up, he saw Bai Yutang looking at him with burning eyes, and the slightest anger in his heart dissipated immediately.

"Where are you going?" Without waiting for Zhan Zhao's answer, Bai Yutang poked him again, this time his hand was quickly slapped away by Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao stood up and looked at Bai Yutang contemptuously, "Don't you think my hands are cold? I'll go run some hot water."

Bai Yutang didn't think of this reason, so he let go of his hand.Zhan Zhao walked out immediately.The sound insulation of this old house is not particularly good, and the sound that is not very loud can still be blocked.

It might be because it was late at night and the house was quiet, so that the not-so-loud sounds could spread in his ears along the floor and the foot of the bed.

The sound of clear water just entered Bai Yutang's ears, as if a trickle of warm current was caressing his body, his whole body relaxed.Bai Yutang closed his eyes, and Zhan Zhao's hand naturally appeared in front of his eyes.

They were a pair of beautiful hands, white and slender, Bai Yutang remembered the thin lines on them, holding his fingers and sliding down, the fingertips would itch with joy when they passed across the palms.

Those were a pair of hands suitable for holding a pen, and Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's hand more than once when he was holding a pen.The quietest time was when he was lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Zhan Zhao was painting him.

It was very comfortable at that time, Bai Yutang remembered that he fell asleep.But he woke up once in the middle, just squinting his eyes slightly, Zhan Zhao focused on drawing on the drawing paper.

He didn't look up at Zhan Zhao, that kind of movement was too big, so he was more looking at Zhan Zhao's hands.That day the sun was just right, quietly shining on Zhan Zhao's hands.So he watched Zhan Zhao's hand move little by little in the golden glow, and he heard the rustling sound of the pen tip across the drawing paper, the warmth handed by Zhan Zhao himself.

And this warmth, passing through the barrier of fantasy, became real, walking on his back little by little.The pain jumped out inappropriately, and before he could frown, the pain was soothed.

Bai Yutang opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Zhan Zhao lowered his head, his hair hanging down to block Zhan Zhao's side face, but Bai Yutang knew that it must be a focused look.

Suddenly wanting to see it, Bai Yutang raised his hand without thinking, and brushed Zhan Zhao's hair.Zhan Zhaoshun raised his head, looked at him and smiled apologetically, "Did you wake up?"

"No." Bai Yutang sat up with his hands propped on the side of the bed. Because of the medicine, his back was hot but cool, and he felt much more comfortable. "Did I fall asleep just now?"

"There's nothing to be surprised about." Zhan Zhao threw the cotton swab into the trash can, "It's already so late. Did you dream about something just now? I found you smiling when I came back."

"Yeah, I had a dream." Bai Yutang couldn't lie down and sleep because of the medicine on his back, so he could only continue to lie on the bed, "I dreamed about the day when you were at my house and painted for me."

"Is that so." Zhan Zhao also remembered the situation at that time, and recalled how Bai Yutang slept peacefully at that time, "That's how he laughed at that time."

The voices of the two of them were very soft, and it was like a lullaby mixed with the light. It was so soft that it brushed against the face like a fluffy brush, and both of them yawned.

Zhan Zhao shook his hands, his hand smelled like medicine, Zhan Zhao couldn't bear to go to bed like this.Going to wash my hands first and then go back to sleep.

But before he had time to get up, Bai Yutang put his arms around Zhan Zhao's waist to prevent him from leaving, "Don't leave, go to sleep quickly."

Bai Yutang moved a little to the inside of the bed, and pulled Zhan Zhao in with his arms.Zhan Zhao was unprepared, and was immediately dragged onto the bed by Bai Yutang.

"I haven't washed my hands yet." Zhan Zhao subconsciously put his hands between himself and Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang curled his lips, grabbed Zhan Zhao's forearm and pressed it on the pillow, and said softly, "Don't go, I'm sleepy."

"But my hands are still dirty." Naturally, Zhan Zhao would not give in so easily, and Bai Yutang's insistence was not so easy to let go.

Bai Yutang simply put his arm across Zhan Zhao's chest, completely cutting off Zhan Zhao's plan to get up, "There is a wet towel on the bedside table, just wipe it off."

After a while, Bai Yutang said again, "Hurry up, it's time to go to bed." Because he was still trying to fight against sleepiness, it sounded very headstrong to Zhan Zhao.

But this is also Bai Yutang.After tangling with Bai Yutang for so long, Zhan Zhao was also exhausted. He really couldn't get up the energy and didn't have the stamina or confidence to push Bai Yutang away to wash his hands. Zhan Zhao had to wipe his hands with the wet towel on the bedside table. After wiping, he leaned against Bai Yutang and fell asleep.
