A Beginner's Guide to Cat Ownership

Yitong didn't sleep much all night, and after squinting for a while, she still had messy dreams, and the next morning her head was dizzy, so she wanted to wash her face to wake up, but when she opened the door, she met Yanxi's eyes.

"Xiaobai." Yanxi grabbed his wrist and observed him, "Why are your eyes swollen?"

Yitong froze for a moment, wanted to pull his wrist away without twitching, and immediately turned into his original shape, like a frightened bird, he fled downstairs quickly, forgetting to bring even the small coal balls, when he went out the door, he turned back and picked up the small coal balls that were chasing after him with difficulty. Running, the little briquettes were bitten on the back of the neck, their limbs hang down weakly, with a look of lovelessness.

After school in the morning, Ao Yao rushed over excitedly: "White cat, have you eaten the fish? Did you cook according to my cousin's recipe? How is it?" Then he bent down and asked the little briquettes in his arms, "Black cat, you Are you still angry today?"

The little coal ball yawned, closed his eyes and leaned weakly on Yitong's arm, and waved to Ao Yao, expressing that he was tired and didn't want to talk to him.

"I haven't had time to do it yet." Yitong is really not good at lying, so she had to tell him honestly, "I'll try it today."

Ao Yao was careful, and looked closely at his face, and asked in surprise, "White cat, why are your eyes swollen?"

Yitong rubbed her eyes, but she still couldn't open them a little bit. She knew that she should apply a cold towel to it, so she said embarrassedly, "Mosquito bites."

Ao Yao: "...that must be a mosquito spirit."

"It might be a vampire." Lin Long passed by and said, and came over to look at it, he is more generous than the little coal ball, and when he received Ao Yao's fish today, he settled the feud with him, "Only a vampire can bite such a big bag. "

"Are you stupid? You must be crying." Lin Qiong said, he is more mature and intellectual than Lin Long who is the older brother, "Whoever dares to bully you, go and tell Lord Yanxi."

Yitong's throat choked up, surrounded by three groups, she was even more embarrassed, wiped her eyes, and said relaxedly: "No one bullied me, I cried after watching a tragic movie last night."

Ao Yao asked: "What movie? I want to watch it too, maybe my eldest cousin will take me out to watch it if I cry."

"You can also believe this. If you really cried while watching a movie, you wouldn't say you were bitten by a mosquito in the first place. You must have quarreled with that person." Lin Qiong revealed mercilessly, wanting to pat the white cat on the shoulder to express comfort, He took it back silently, and changed it to verbal comfort, "Being a monster is to be free and happy. Parents and children are destined to be opposites and will never get along, so just be serious with them. You just need to say 'what you said Right', and then not listening at all, can resolve most conflicts."

Yitong accepted it humbly, and took out the small notebook she carried with her to write down these famous words.

Lin Long said: "Why don't you come to my house after school to play mahjong in the afternoon, we are missing one of the three."

Ao Yao agrees very much, Doudizhu has always lacked soul, since there are four people in a class, it is destined to form a table.

Yitong said in shame: "But I don't know how to fight."

Lin Long said: "Don't panic, you can teach, including teaching and meeting. The most important thing we foxes lack is patience."

Yitong asked: "Will it disturb your uncle?"

Lin Long said: "He went back to his hometown to see his relatives, and it will take a week to come back. We can play whatever we want, as long as we pack it up before he goes home."

After the four discussed it, the two foxes left first. Ao Yao took out two round beads the size of a fist from his pocket, and said with a smile: "This is the night pearl I brought from home. I saw cats like it in the video." Playing balls, this one is similar, they are round and can roll.” He gave one to Yitong, “White cat, if you don’t like to play, take this with you, it’s warm in winter and cool in summer, and it’s also good for your body .”

He stuffed another one into the small briquette's arms, and asked sincerely, "Black cat, do you like this one?"

Little Coal Ball's arms were cold, and he barely opened his eyes to see the Ye Mingzhu in his arms, his eyes were all bright, his paws fiddled with the Ye Ming Pearl, and it was easy to roll the beads to the ground. Tired, she immediately jumped out of Yitong's arms and rushed towards Ye Mingzhu like crazy, using all four limbs together, her front paws hugged the pearl tightly in her arms and lay on her back, her back paws pushed hard on the beads again, accidentally the back paws were too hard, causing the The beads rolled down and ran after them again.

The two looked at the crazy little black cat and smiled happily, Yitong thanked him: "It seems that he likes it very much."

"That's great." Ao Yao was very happy, "I hope he can forgive me tomorrow, otherwise there will always be something in my heart." A nasty taste, this taste is too uncomfortable.

The two stood together watching the little briquettes talking, suddenly Ao Yao shivered and hugged his arms tightly.

At the same time, the little coal ball stopped playing and looked towards the door.

"I feel like someone is staring at me just now." Xiaolong gasped and looked around nervously, "It's so scary, I almost thought I was going to be assassinated."

Yitong also hurriedly helped him to look around, it was so quiet that she couldn't even see the weaver girl: "There is no one."

This is the director's house, only a few of them are in class, and whoever gets impatient slips in.

"I'll go back first. If I find an excuse not to eat the food made by my eldest cousin, she will be very angry, and I always have a bad feeling." Xiaolong was distressed and puzzled, and waved at Yitong as usual, "That white cat , See you in the afternoon, please be sure to speak nice words to Black Cat for me."

Yitong agreed, and looked down for the little coal ball, but found that the little coal ball didn't play with the ball anymore, but sat beside him and looked up at him, his eyes full of worry.

"Then let's go too." Yitong picked him up, gently stroked his little head, walked out of the gate, stood at the door and said blankly, "Where are we going?"

The little coal ball tilted its head and pointed the way home with its paw: "Meow."

"I don't want to go back yet." Yitong sighed preoccupied, hugged the little briquette tightly, and put his chin on his head, as if asking or talking to himself, "What should I do just now?"

The little briquettes stretched out from the flesh pad and gently stroked his face.

He squatted in the shade of an ordinary tree not far away, dazed. After a while, he took out a pen and paper, and wrote on it: Brother is going to play at a classmate's house at night, and he won't come back, don't worry.

After finishing writing, he confessed to the little briquette: "You go home by yourself at night and give him this piece of paper, do you understand?"

The little coal ball whimpered twice to express his understanding, and ate the paper. His stomach was like a storage bag, which could hold many things.

He jumped down from Yitong's arms, sat beside him and sighed together.

"Where's your Ye Mingzhu? Have you eaten it?" Yitong suddenly remembered and turned to ask him.

The little briquette beeped aggrievedly, and spread out its two paws helplessly, indicating that the game was lost.

"It should have fallen at the teacher's house. Let's look for it after school in the afternoon." Yitong touched him, took out his Ye Mingzhu from his pocket and handed it to him, "This is for you to play with too, don't lose it. It's student Ao's kindness. Don't be angry with him."

The little briquette turned his head: "Hmph."

The two sat for a while, sighed countless times, the little coal ball stretched out its claws to reach his small book, Yitong was surprised: "You want to write?"

The little briquettes nodded solemnly.

With their tacit understanding for many years, they can already understand each other's meaning without writing. I don't know what kind of unpredictable things the little briquettes want to express.

Yitong leaned over and saw the scratches left by his claws on the paper: He waited all night in front of your room yesterday.

Although he didn't know why they were arguing, he still hoped that the two could reconcile.

After Yitong finished reading that line, her heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head uncomfortably, feeling extremely flustered.

The little coal ball stood up with its two front paws grasping his legs, scratched his pants with the tip of its claws, gave a soft "meow" sound, and looked at him suspiciously with its round eyes.

What is there that even he can't say?Is it worse than the sky falling?

"This is a secret." Yitong hugged him into his arms, and said warmly with his face against his soft belly, "A secret that I dare not tell anyone, let it rot slowly, pretending that it was never born. "

He is just a kitten who just fell in love, let alone experienced it, he has never seen such a thing, what should he do.

***

In the evening, Xiao Liqiu went home alone, and saw the dim light in the living room on the first floor, Yanxi sat on the sofa and watched the TV screen waiting for him, the orange light shrouded him, as gloomy as the setting sun slowly being swallowed by the night.

The little coal ball ran in, turned around and saw the scene of Yitong playing mahjong at the fox's house on the TV, Yitong seemed to be in a good mood, with curved eyebrows, so she looked at Yanxi contemptuously, jumped to his side, and shouted aggressively : "Meow!" Give me back my ball.

Yanxi took a moment to cast a sideways glance at him, then turned back and stretched out his hand: "Where are my things?"

The little coal ball reluctantly spat out the piece of paper into his hand, and he looked down at the piece of paper over and over, showing no intention of making a deal.

He angrily took the paper away.

"Show me the other one." Yanxi said.

The little coal ball looked at him vigilantly, and after thinking twice, he should also spit out the ball that Yitong gave him.

Yanxi put it away and continued watching TV.

Little coal ball: "???" Take both, are you still human? ? ?

He angrily scratched Yanxi's leg like a cat's scratching board.

"Why would I be greedy for a ball from you?" Yanxi said, and handed him a brocade bag in his hand, and took out a night pearl with no discernible appearance, "Give this to him."

Looking at the small briquettes, there are more than a dozen night pearls inside. Although they are about the same size, the color and luster are many times better. He, who actually sterilized the cat demon, is really not human.

Yan Xi said: "I apologized, but he didn't respond at all, what do you think we should do?"

The little briquette sat next to him dejected, Yitong has always been a talkative person, no matter how sad things are, he forgets them after sleeping, it is really abnormal now.

"I always feel that he has something else to hide from me." Yan Xi said slowly.

The little coal ball nodded fiercely: "Meow meow meow meow."

Yitong used to tell him no matter what, happy or unhappy, scared or hopeless, there was no secret between them, but now it appeared.

He also couldn't think of a countermeasure, and felt very sad, sobbing: "Miwu."

The most frightening thing is that Yitong hasn't cooked for a day, how long will this hell life last?

The little coal ball raised its head and stared at the person next to it resentfully.

Yanxi: "?"

One person and one cat stared blankly.

Finally, Yanxi finally became a person, went out to pack food for the little black cat and came back.
