California is the state with the largest Asian population in the United States.

Shen Du had the most intuitive experience of this point after arriving in southern California.

Her current residence is only a 10-minute drive from the nearest Chinese supermarket. There are all kinds of milk tea shops blooming everywhere, and the business of hot pot restaurants is also booming. During the peak dining hours in the evening, popular hot pot restaurants often have to queue up to get a number.

It is said that in some Chinese-dominated cities, even not being able to speak English has no impact on life.

On the first day of her arrival in Los Angeles, her cousin drove to the airport to pick her up. Since the flight arrived in the morning, the two went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

At that time, Shen Du looked up at the menu behind the counter. There were all kinds of stuffed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk. She was stunned for a while, but the staff behind the counter said impatiently: "What do you want?" Bring her back to her senses.

At that moment, she seemed to understand why her cousin who was studying in high school in the United States needed English tutoring.

After breakfast, the two drove for about an hour to a satellite city near Los Angeles. After getting off the highway, a quiet residential area gradually emerged. The two stopped in front of a single-family house. The same green lawn was laid, and some people planted a lot of plants and flowers in front of the door.

California has been suffering from severe drought for several years, and her cousin motioned her to look at the lawn in front of the house.

"That's it," the voice paused, "it is said to be proof of the middle class."

The house has five bedrooms and one living room, which is a bit too spacious for the two foreign students who used to live here.That senior graduated from high school and moved out this summer vacation, the rest of the rooms were empty, Shen Du randomly chose a bedroom on the second floor.

High school in the United States has a four-year system, and junior high school only lasts two years. Her cousin just finished her second year of high school, which is the stage when most people start preparing for college entrance examination.

The summer vacation is more than two months. During this period, some people will choose to do public welfare activities, or go to a community college to take a course. The main purpose is to enrich their resumes. aptitude test.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the beginning of August. When the two of them were queuing in front of the milk tea shop, her cousin coughed lightly, seemingly casually mentioning that she would go on a trip with her friends for a while these days.

"How long?"

The other party's eyes flickered: "About two weeks."

Shen Du looked at her and uttered a single voice: "Oh?"

"...just two weeks! I'll be back soon, I promise! During this time, the house is yours."

Guaranteed by her test scores, her cousin and her parents finally got permission to travel. When the phone call ended, she jumped up excitedly from the sofa—"Let's go eat hot pot tonight to celebrate."

The hot pot restaurant was buzzing with people, Shen Du put down the frozen tofu and asked through the heat, "What exactly are you going to travel this time?"

"Go chasing the comet." The person on the opposite side kept hissing from being scalded by the shrimp slippery, but he refused to put down the spoon.

"Haven't you heard? In August, a once-in-a-thousand-year comet will approach the earth. The best viewing date is in mid-August, but you can see the comet in the night sky in the northwest in early August. The city is too smoky. We I plan to go to the national parks in northern California to capture the most brilliant moments of comets."

The rambling voice continued: "It is said that the earliest records about comets come from the Spring and Autumn Period in China. People at that time didn't call comets comets. What did they call them?"

"... Xingbo."

"Ah, yes, it's Xingbo." Her cousin put down the spoon and looked at her in surprise, "I didn't expect you to understand it quite well."

The other party swallowed the shrimp slippery: "I thought you were not interested in astronomy, and I never heard you mention it before. How about you go with us this time?"

"...or not, that's your trip, so I won't join in the fun."

"You don't feel comfortable being with a group of us minors, do you? Oh, what, women are girls until they die, let's hang out together, maybe we will meet a good little brother." Her The cousin compared her waist and said in a low voice, "The one with eight-pack abs."

Shen Du picked up a piece of beef: "Thank you for the invitation, but someone has to watch the house."

Her cousin thought about it and found that this reason seemed irrefutable.

"……All right."

A few days after eating hot pot, the team to Northern California left on time.

Shen Du stood in the corridor on the second floor, listened for a while, and made sure that the minors downstairs had left and would not return for at least two weeks. She ran down the stairs in three steps at a time, and drove directly Go to the nearest Chinese supermarket and bring back a case of sparkling fruit wine.

Ice cubes were added to the glass, and the moment the can was opened, a crisp and pleasant sound and bubbles gushed out at the same time. She let out a long sigh of relief, and directly held the glass and collapsed on the sofa in the living room.

— Free at last.

God knows how hard it is for her to maintain an adult airs for more than two months.

Even if food, lodging and air tickets are included, it is not easy to clean a five-bedroom house while tutoring high school students. Persistence for more than two months is already her limit.

Lying on the sofa, drinking, watching dramas and eating snacks, the paralysis went straight into the middle of the night. She opened the closet and planned to make some instant pasta, but found that the pasta at home was gone, but she didn't want to bother to run away After a trip to the supermarket, I went home to cook. After thinking for a while, I decided to go out and buy takeaway.

The fried chicken shop is doing well, but it's also possible that the surrounding restaurants are closed.When Shen Du parked the car and opened the door to enter, the two customers waiting for the takeaway were chatting.

"Dude, what happened to the wound on your face?"

"Did you say this? It was made by a strange cat."

"……cat?"

"A strange Japanese cat."

"You mean breed?"

"No, what I mean is..." The man's voice became confused, as if he was not sure, "The cat is wearing a kimono. If it's not a Japanese cat, where else could it be?"

"...Did you drink too much again?"

"Maybe." The man muttered, picked up his takeaway from the counter, pushed the door open with his partner and left.

"Order No. 57!"

Shen Du came back to his senses, and stepped forward to take his takeaway.

When they left the fried chicken shop, those two people had disappeared.

On the way back, the road was very empty. The host on the radio was talking about the best place and time to watch the comet, and invited an astronomy professor from a local university to explain to the audience.

Comet viewing lasts until the end of August and is still early August, when the comet is only visible to the naked eye a few hours before sunrise.Shen Du glanced at the time on the mobile phone navigation, there are still a few minutes until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

On the empty road, with a green light ahead, she was about to step on the accelerator to speed up, when a figure suddenly appeared on the road illuminated by the lights.

She slammed on the brakes, the tires rubbing against the ground made a screeching sound, accompanied by a long cry, and almost stopped at the last moment.

……Dry?

The headlights were like fog, almost blindingly bright in the middle of the night, Shen Du sat in the driver's seat for a while, took a few deep breaths, took his mobile phone, slowly opened the door and got out of the car.

The figure stopped in the middle of the road remained motionless, as if he had forgotten to react.

Her eyes gradually got used to the light, she put down the hand that was blocking her eyes, and found that standing in the middle of the road was a cat.

"...Master A'Du?" The other party's voice was as soft as some kind of raving.

... It turns out that cats also cry.

In the early morning of August 2021, 8, Southern California, USA.

On the first floor, the living room and kitchen lights are on.

"...do you eat fried chicken?"

There was no shadow of the cat sitting by the table. It squinted its still wet eyes and said with a smile, "Xiaosheng has been dead for more than 1000 years."

Shen Du glanced at the fried chicken in his hand, and silently withdrew his movements.

Stock Master: "Is this hell?"

"I don't think there's such a thing as fried chicken in hell."

"Ah, that's true." The cat on the opposite side slowly relaxed, "This is Master A'Du's world, right?"

"You can just call me A'Du." After ten years in the Heian Era, she is still not used to others using honorific names for herself.

"You really haven't changed at all."

"Is this a compliment?"

"Yes."

She thought about what to ask for a long time, everything happened so suddenly, she is now sitting at the kitchen table with the cat who has passed through the millennium, looking at the texture of the table together.

"...how did you...I mean...how did you get here?"

"Before appearing here, Xiaosheng was originally helping others to practice in hell, but after regaining consciousness, he has appeared on a strange street."

She nodded: "Then I met a strange drunk."

"That was an inspired ordinary person. When he tried to catch me, he fell down." Gu Zong paused, "It seems that young people in this world also lack exercise."

Shen Du laughed, Mao Zong looked at her for a while, then lowered his gaze again.

The cat sitting at the table is wearing a Taisho period cloak, kimono and clogs, with a pipe pinned to its waist, and its conversation and behavior are no different from humans.

It said it was good that nothing changed.

It seems to want to see her more, and it seems to feel that it is not worthy, and the emotion of shame and regret is like a silent fire, which makes it unable to lift its head.

"Staff, can I touch you?"

"...Of course." The cat took off the hat again, and turned its pointed ears back.

"No matter how many times..." it said, "no matter how many times."

The force that fell on the head was very light, and the cat narrowed its crescent-like eyes again, trying to hold back the wetness.

"... stock sect."

She said softly: "If you don't want to say it now, don't say it."

The cat with its head down froze slightly again.

"About the things I don't know, when you are willing to tell me something, it will not be too late."

Shen Du smiled and said: "It's already very late, even if you have become a soul state, you must be tired after going through so many things all of a sudden?"

There are many things that need to be digested. If I knew she would not drink today.

For unknown reasons, the gate of time and space opened again.

She sincerely hoped that it wasn't because of her, that she didn't poke the barrier between time and space into a sieve.

But things didn’t go as expected. Early the next morning, she took the stock master to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment. The residential complex with excellent greening is next to the park. When one person and one cat passed by the park, she saw a strange boy sitting on the slide castle, as if looking up. look up to the sky.

Today is a sunny day, the sky is clear and cloudless, only the California sun is shining brightly.

The first thing she noticed was the boy's orange earphones, and then she looked down, only to find that the boy was wearing a familiar bear claw necklace around his neck.

"...Master Ye?"

The moment Gu Zong uttered his voice in disbelief, the boy wearing orange earphones looked over.
