Time manager

Since Lian Ping said that, Shi Jing felt relieved.Although that guy has a bit of a temper, he is still reliable in his work.He put down the phone and started cooking.

The beef is patted loose, chopped and finely chopped, then pounded into a puree with a hammer, and the seasoning is prepared. The meatballs are squeezed out from the tiger's mouth and dropped into the tumbling winter melon soup. It takes only a few minutes to come out of the pot.Light and refreshing without losing nutrition, this season is the most suitable.

He was about to cook another fish-flavored shredded pork. He had just cut a carrot when the phone rang.

"Xiaoshi, what about eating?"

"I'm doing it." Shi Jing said, "What's wrong, Mom."

"Oh, what do you eat?" Mama Shi asked.

Shi Jing glanced quickly, and said concisely: "Winter melon, cucumber, cabbage, carrot..."

Mama Shi immediately said distressedly: "What kind of food are these? Why are they all vegetarian? Is your stomach still not healed?"

The meat has not had time to say.Shi Jing thought to himself, quickly make up.

Over there, Mother Shi reminded again: "Remember to peel off the skins, be careful of pesticide residues, and soak the vegetables for a while and wash them several times. Hey, the current vegetables are not good, they are all sprayed with pesticides. I just sent you today. A box of vegetables, pure natural green and pollution-free, remember to sign for receipt when it arrives, so as not to get bored. What else do you like to eat? Mom will send it to you next time."

"..."

Shi Jing couldn't laugh or cry: "Mom, the vegetable market is very close to me, so I can just buy it myself. Besides, it's just a gimmick, the kind you mentioned is not sold now."

Vegetables that do not use pesticides these days are either grown by the farmers themselves or eaten by insects.

"What's the matter? Don't you know about organic vegetables? You still don't believe your own mother."

"I believe." Shi Jing had no choice but to agree, and changed the subject, "I'll go back and see you next week."

He wasn't busy at work, but he didn't go back often because he was worried about his unlucky situations from time to time.

"Farewell." Shi's mother hurriedly said, "I have nothing to do with your father, it's okay, there is nothing to see. Recently, we plan to go back to the countryside for a long time, and there is no one to entertain you when you come here."

Shi Jing had no choice but to give up, and said hello to his father again, and continued cooking.

As soon as it was done, I heard the sound of notes.

[Time stands still. 】

Shi Jing put down the dishes and looked around, but found nothing abnormal in the room, so he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

[Dangerous approach. 】

Since it is said to be close, does it mean that it is moving?

Apart from him, there is no other living thing in the house, and the only thing left that can move is the sweeping machine that works automatically.Shi Jing touched it, and the sweeper continued to run.no problem.

In this case, the only thing that can be approached is from the outside.

Shi Jing opened the door and found a cat at the door.

Black fur, green eyes, if not too fat, it really has a supernatural aura.

"Is this cat in danger?" Shi Jing asked.

【Yes, master, be careful not to touch it. 】

Don't touch...it's simple, just close the door.Shi Jing thought, this cat can't break the door and come in.This is the twelfth floor, and it is impossible to climb in through the window.

However, Shi Jing entered the room and ate a few mouthfuls, feeling a bit unpleasant, went to pour another bowl of milk, put it on the door, and then closed the door, said lightly: "Okay, let's go."

The heat of the meal suddenly moved, and the surrounding world returned to normal.There was no sound outside the door, and I didn't know if the black cat drank the milk.

Shi Jing remembered the warning in the note, but didn't open the door to look.It wasn't until midnight that there was a faint meowing of a cat.However, he had entered a dream and heard nothing.

In the dream, the milk-like sea was very calm, the huge star had disappeared, and in the dark sky, there were only sporadic faint stars looming.He was lying on his back, and the slightly rippling boat was like a cradle, which made him sleepy again in his dream, and fell asleep.

6:10

When Shi Jing came out for his morning run, the cat outside the door was still there, but it was no longer a black cat, but the orange cat he had brought back to the thrift store the day before.

It was only at this moment that Shi Jing realized that the two cats with different coat colors looked really alike, like twins, even when they were fat, they looked like they were of the same weight class.

He looked at the bowl by the door, the milk was gone, and he didn't know if the black cat drank it last night, or the fat orange licked it up.

He asked, "Are you hungry?"

But the orange cat stretched, turned away, and ran towards the elevator step by step, as if it wanted to follow him for a morning jog?

Could this cat... want to lose weight?Shi Jing had a strange thought and couldn't help laughing.

Walking into the elevator, as expected, I met Lian Ping downstairs again.

This guy is quite persistent.Shi Jing was a little surprised.

Lian Ping was excited to tell him what he saw on campus yesterday, but when he saw the cat, he immediately covered his nose and shut his mouth, not daring to catch his breath.

Shi Jing said to the cat: "Next time you wait downstairs."

I don't know if the kitten understands.Anyway, after leaving the community, the cat ran away immediately.

Shi Jing looked in its direction and was stunned.

The orange cat ran to a man wearing sunglasses who was leaning under a tree at the gate of the community.

Seeing the cat approaching, the man ran away and started a human-cat race.

Shi Jing confirmed that it was Lu Sheng.

And even if this man was being chased by a cat, he still followed him and kept running around him.Lian Ping, who was originally running parallel to him, suddenly increased his horsepower and ran wildly.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

Shi Jing looked at it all morning, and roughly saw the situation.

It is absolutely true that Lu Sheng came to squat him.

And the orange cat... more likely came to squat on Lu Sheng.

Thinking about it carefully, the first time the orange cat came to his community, Lu Sheng had appeared.Later, the security guards also said that the cat was chasing a person that night.

This time, it was even more obvious.

The cat seemed to know that Lu Sheng would appear wherever he was.

Shi Jing observed until Lu Sheng was finally exhausted and fled into the alley.

I don't know how he lost his tail. In short, after Shi Jing finished his morning run, he found the kitten came back angrily.

This time the cat didn't follow him upstairs, but squatted by the pool in the community, staring at the fish in the water.

Shi Jing remembered the battle of the security guards last time, and told it: "You can't catch fish."

He always felt that the cat could understand human speech, otherwise why would it have withdrawn its ready-to-move paws with a depressed expression.

When he came down again, he found that the cat was still squatting by the pool and had not left.Shi Jing checked and found that the fish in the pond were still there, so he rubbed the cat's neck and said, "Hey, let's eat this first."

The kitten squinted his eyes and enjoyed it, but he didn't like the canned food in his hand.

Shi Jing could only give up, finished sucking cats, and went to work.

Look at the orange cat again, jumping down from the edge of the pool and following step by step.

Shi Jing became more and more sure of his guess—the cat wanted to follow him to find Lu Sheng.

Fortunately, when we arrived at the library, the kitten didn't follow up, but stopped at the steps in front of the library, squatting.

Lian Ping trembled all the way, hiding from the cat far away, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.But looking at Shi Jing, he said a little sadly: "Mr. Shi, you really didn't raise this cat? Why has it been following you?"

"It's not me, it's waiting for someone else." Shi Jing said.

Lian Ping is skeptical. "who?"

"Do you remember the man you met that day wearing sunglasses?" Shi Jing said, "He's working as a cleaner here now."

Lian Ping thought about it, and was a little surprised: "So it's his? When did he become a cleaner?"

Shi Jing didn't explain much.He's going to do his shift in the reading room.

It seems that a batch of new books arrived today, and he has to sort them out and put them on the shelves.

It's just that when he was halfway through his work, he received a transfer call from the front desk, which was from the community security.

"Mr. Shi, your cat is stealing fish again." The security guard said helplessly, "Next time, don't you think it's better to close it when you go out?"

Shi Jing is a bit strange.Could it be that the orange cat still knows Lu Sheng's working hours, so he didn't squat at this point and went for a stroll?

He apologized, offered to pay for the loss of the fish, and got on with his business.I didn't know until I went downstairs at noon and asked the security guard at the library gate.

"No, I see that cat has been squatting all morning, and people have been talking about it. I heard that as long as someone feeds the cat, its paws will be pinched."

When Shi Jing went to look, he saw a pile of snacks in front of the cat.

I'm afraid it's not a lucky cat!

When the orange cat saw him coming, he immediately got up and pushed a bag of potato chips.

"..." Can cats eat this...

Shi Jing was speechless and didn't know how to deal with it. He thought it was better to send it back to the thrift store, and hand it over to the boss with the food and the cat.

At the same time, it is also strange, since the orange cat has never left, where did the cats in the neighborhood come from?Did the security guards get it wrong?

Shi Jing was scratching the cat's chin and thinking, when he suddenly heard a dog barking.

When he looked back, he found that it was Erha.

So the cat-dog battle began—the Erha was howling over there, and the orange cat was meowing here...

not at all!Fat Orange just nervously protected his food.

The dog was led by a young man in sportswear. Seeing that the dog couldn't be trained no matter how much he couldn't be trained or pulled away, he said helplessly, "I'm sorry, my dog ​​has such a bad temper, but don't worry, it's very cowardly." , It’s just a bluff, don’t dare to fight.”

Shi Jing couldn't help but laugh, just about to say it's okay, a black shadow sprang out from the slanting stab.

It was a vigorous black cat, standing in front of the orange cat, arched its body, let out a low growl, its hair stood up, and looked like it was about to attack.

As expected, Erha did exactly what the master said. He was cowardly and dragged the master away.

Seeing that the dog was gone, the black cat regained its posture and moved closer to the orange cat.

Only then did Shi Jing realize that this was the cat at the door last night!

Squatting side by side like this, the two cats are almost identical except for fur color and eyes.

Look at the wet fish in its mouth...

Shi Jing: "..."

Well, the culprit has been found.

At the same time, the notes sounded.

[Time stands still. 】

The black cat's pupils dilated in an instant.

The flow of people was still and the leaves stopped shaking, but Shi Jing felt that the black cat's eyes were still moving.

Why are black cats in danger?

He held out his hand a little disbelievingly.

【Owner! ] Note screamed nervously.
