I became the professor's cat

After returning home from the homestay, Zuo Nian's snack dryer also arrived. Fu Changlin bought all kinds of meat, and made some dried meat for him to eat and play when he was free.

At first Fu Changlin was worried that Zuo Nian would eat too much, but later he found that although his cat was greedy, he was not greedy. A piece of jerky could last a long time, and he often saw kittens walking around the room with a piece of jerky in his mouth. It's more like a teething toy to relieve boredom than snacks, so I don't care about him anymore.

Although it is still during the summer vacation, the time Fu Changlin can completely relax is still limited. The closer the school starts, the busier he gets. Sometimes a video conference is held for a whole day.

In fact, he spends this time every year like this, with various conferences and lectures one after another, and he has very little time to stay at home.

It was supposed to be like this this year.

But when Fu Changlin went on a business trip for the first time, he was clinging to his cat every step of the way when he returned home, and even slept with his wrist hugged.

During the second business trip, Fu Changlin simply took his cat with him. As a result, the kitten froze after getting off the plane and didn't recover all day. Seven or eight phone calls until his cat fully recovered.

So in the end, except for the jobs close to home, Fu Changlin simply rejected those with long travel distances, and tried to choose the online format for conference lectures.

Fu Changlin doesn't know how to talk to Zuo Nian about work, and Zuo Nian doesn't know about it. He just thinks that Fu Changlin has been spending more time at home recently. Anyway, as long as he can stay in the same room with his professor, he will be satisfied. up.

So Fu Changlin's desk became the place where Zuo Nian most often went to catch up on sleep.

The kitten didn't take up much space, so Fu Changlin folded a towel and put it there as a simple cat bed for him.

The desk is next to the window, and the room is full of sunshine in the afternoon.

The first second the alarm clock rang, Fu Changlin reached out and pressed it off. After saving the written document, he frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose.

There is a meeting in 10 minutes.

Zuo Nian beside him was still sleeping.

Fu Changlin looked at him for a while, his expression gradually relaxed, and he held his paw and pinched his little pad.

Zuo Nian opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw Fu Changlin, he meowed at him.

Fu Changlin rubbed his head.

"Go to sleep."

Zuo Nian responded, stretched his waist and hugged Fu Changlin's wrist, flicked his tail and fell asleep again.

Fu Changlin didn't withdraw his hand, but looked at Zuo Nian and frowned.

The little guy seems to be in a bad state of mind recently...

Zuo Nian couldn't sleep well, especially at night.

This is the case after returning from the homestay, always waking up.

Some time ago, I just woke up suddenly, but in the past few days, I have frequently dreamed of the nightmare from last time.

Zuo Nian's cat litter was still in the living room. Fu Changlin had been busy all day, and he didn't want to disturb him at night, but he didn't dare to continue to sleep. He was afraid of dreaming about that creepy scene again, so he finally stayed up all night staring at the bedroom. , and then go to the study to catch up on sleep during the day.

The closer you are to the professor, the more peaceful your sleep.

But today was an exception, he dreamed of that scene again.

Even more real than before.

The air is mixed with the smell of disinfectant and damp mold, the old-fashioned electric lights are flickering from time to time, the gray-white wall skin is cracked and has winding lines, everything around is gray-white, even the cobwebs in the gaps between the tiles are covered with a layer Thick gray.

Like an abandoned warehouse without sunlight.

But the room is full of various medical instruments, busy flickering, interlaced with cold beeps.

All the equipment revolves around the man in the center of the room.

That person was lying on the bed, and the thick quilt only outlined a thin figure.

The pale to bloodless arms were exposed, highlighting the bluish blood vessels and distinct joints.

When Zuo Nian looked at him, it seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist, making it difficult to see the whole picture clearly.

He was lying there on his back, and the transparent liquid in the hanging bottle dripped slowly, along the infusion tube, and flowed into the blood vessels under the adhesive tape.

He was injected with drugs...

Zuo Nian's blood ran cold when he saw these things.

He didn't know what the liquid was inside, and he couldn't see his current expression, he could only feel his stiff body and suffocated despair.

The machine next to me beeped regularly.

Mixed with subtle footsteps.

anyone? !

Zuo Nian held his breath.

He has dreamed of this scene many times, but this is the first time he has sensed the presence of other people.

The man was approaching him.

Zuo Nian looked at the direction of the footsteps, and vaguely saw a person wearing a mask, bent down to observe the lying person, and recorded something in the notebook he carried with him.

Not long after, the person wearing the mask seemed to be attracted by the machine on the side, uttered a puzzled syllable, turned around and picked up the syringe next to him, and slowly plunged the needle into the vial...

When seeing the liquid in the needle tube being slowly pushed in, Zuo Nian seemed to be able to hear the person on the bed breathing more and more rapidly, as well as his flustered heartbeat.

Gradually, I also became nervous, and I couldn't tell whether it was because of the other party or because of instinctive fear.

Zuo Nian wanted to help him pull out the needle, trying to stop the man from moving, but in the end, except for the beeping of the machine, the vision became pitch black again.

Zuo Nian woke up with a start and turned over abruptly, knocking down the book next to him, and almost turned it down himself. When Fu Changlin caught him, he still had the palpitations from his dream.

"Did something happen?"

Fu Changlin was still in the meeting. Seeing the movement here from the video, several teachers stopped and couldn't help asking.

Zuo Nian slept to the side, they didn't see much of what happened just now, but Fu Changlin's sudden serious expression, hearing the sound of books falling, made the others nervous subconsciously.

"It's okay, my cat is probably sleepy."

Fu Changlin frowned slightly, and said in a soft tone.

"Meow..."

--sorry……

Hearing Fu Changlin's words, Zuo Nian, who was relieved, was a little annoyed. He did something wrong again during the professor's meeting...

Hearing the meow of the kitten, a teacher in front of the screen smiled.

"My cat sometimes does the same thing. It suddenly turns over while sleeping. It's normal, don't worry."

Fu Changlin nodded in response, still smoothing his cat.

"It's not your fault, you don't need to apologize."

Seeing Zuo Nian's sleepy look with his head down, he lowered his tone and asked with a nod on his nose.

"Sleep a little longer?"

Zuo Nian shook his head, glanced at the conference room where he was still connected, and patted Fu Changlin's hand for a meow.

——I'm going to drink some water, so I won't disturb your meeting.

Fu Changlin put him down, watched the kitten trot out of the study, and nodded thoughtfully on the table.

"Then shall we continue?"

The video resumes to its previous progress.

"The school will start in two days. I think the content of this time can be mentioned at the entrance ceremony..."

After hiding at the door and listening for a while, making sure he didn't cause any serious trouble, Zuo Nian turned around and walked towards his cat climbing frame, lying on his back and patting the dangling fur balls.

What happened to that dream...

Before, he always thought it was just a horrible nightmare, but after doing it for several days in a row, it was the same scene every time, as if he was really in that space and encountered those things.

Could it be true?

His soul became a cat, but his body was in that place...

Thinking of this possibility, Zuo Nian started to explode. If it was true, wouldn't his current situation be very dangerous...

Zuo Nian recalled the person wearing the mask in the dream, and also remembered the person who took his own jade pendant at the hotel.

Also wearing a mask, I don't know if there is any connection.

But the scene in the dream was too vague, and apart from the mask, there were no features that could be remembered, let alone comparing the two people.

Zuo Nian was a little annoyed, he didn't care about his becoming a cat, but he cared about the current situation of his original body.

In case one day it changes back and finds itself...

No no no!Can't think about it!

Zuo Nian turned over and sharpened his claws, and quickly drove out the imagined scenes in his mind.

Don't curse yourself like that...

By the time Fu Changlin came out after the meeting, it was already dark.

After eating, Zuo Nian seemed to have regained his vitality, and even pestered him for a piece of beef jerky, looking very happy.

"I was in the study today, did I have a nightmare?"

Fu Changlin sat beside him and asked.

Zuo Nian paused, nodded, and then meowed.

--sorry……

"I don't blame you."

Fu Changlin smiled lightly, picked up his cat, and stroked its fur soothingly.

"Can you tell me what you dreamed about?"

Zuo Nian chewed and swallowed the dried meat, it was a bit difficult.

This comparison is a big project...

In fact, even if Fu Changlin didn't ask that question, Zuo Nian wanted to tell him, and just had this opportunity, so he explained to Fu Changlin with gestures.

Finally, after making gestures for a long time, Fu Changlin didn't show any expression after listening to it. He didn't know whether he was thinking about it or didn't understand it at all.

Zuo Nian scratched his head, a little helpless.

It's normal to not understand...

Zuo Nian just lost his temper when he heard Fu Changlin speak again.

"Have you been having this dream these days?"

Zuo read for a while, looked up at him in surprise, and nodded quickly.

Did the professor understand?

It seems that his ability to make gestures has improved significantly now.

Fu Changlin glanced at him, got up and took his cat's litter into the bedroom, and put it on the bedside table.

"You will sleep here from now on."

Seeing the surprised eyes of the little cat, he couldn't help but flicked his ears, and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Afraid why didn't you tell me? Or don't you want to sleep with me?"

How can it be!

Zuo Nian jumped out of his arms, ran around on the bed, and finally got into his quilt.

——I can sleep with you in the same bed!
