Not too many out of four

In the middle of the night, Nakahara looked back at the two cats whose eye sockets were sleeping on the bed, jumped out of bed lightly and silently, opened the window, and quickly landed on the ground along the protruding part of the hotel's outer wall.

With the tail hanging halfway behind him to maintain the balance of the body, Zhongyuan Zhong also followed the breath he smelled during the day, all the way to the hospital where Li Jia was located.

The smell of disinfectant water, the smell of medical staff coming and going, and some strong and pungent medicine smells interfere with the cat's sense of smell.

Zhong Yuanzhong also walked around the outside of the hospital, avoiding the sight of the crowd, and sneaked into the hospital to investigate.

Li Jia didn't return to the hotel for two days, and she should be resting in a certain ward of the hospital. The key is where to find her whereabouts.

The smell of Li Jia was left outside the hospital for a short time, and it has dissipated so much that even the police dogs with the most sensitive sense of smell may not be able to find the room where Li Jia is.

He walked in the courtyard of the hospital with his cat's paws, and escaped the hospital's security patrols and surveillance video system to enter the inpatient department.

The cat's eyes lit up in the dark glanced at the elevator, flicked its tail, walked into the stairwell, climbed up a few steps, and looked at the names at the door of the ward step by step.

The people who are responsible for feeding them these days are all called by the hotel manager. If there are more familiar people, whether it is Kudo Shinichi or Mao Lilan, they will be easier for the cats in the room to accept.

But the person who feeds the cat and the person who delivers the tablet are strangers they have never met.

From this point of view, Li Jia and the others should not be discharged from the hospital in a day or two.

Something must have happened to keep them from getting back to the hotel.

Not only Li Jia, even the little orange cat who went out with her did not come back, and the person who fed them didn't know anything about Li Jia, so naturally he wouldn't tell them about Li Jia's situation. Zhong Yuanzhong was also worried, secretly thinking that he should follow her Li Jia went out.

It's not because the little orange cat followed her thinking that her safety was guaranteed, so she stayed in the room and waited for her to come back.

Zhongyuan Zhong also stopped and stopped, looking up at the name at the door of the ward - Mao Lilan.

If she is here, Li Jia should also be in a ward on this floor.

The footsteps of flat shoes approached gradually, and he unhurriedly hid in the shadows. The nurse on duty at night didn't notice anything unusual and returned to the nurse's station to sit down and rest.

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked thoughtfully at the direction the nurse was coming from, which happened to be the other side of the name that he hadn't seen yet.

The familiar atmosphere is looming, like playing hide and seek, making it impossible to determine the specific location and source.

The smell of Lijia was so weak that it made people unsure of the direction. He gathered his mind and ran quickly past the nurse's station to the other side, sniffing the smell of the inpatient department carefully.

Even though the smell of the inpatient department is not as large as that of the hospital gate, the presence of more than five people will greatly affect the cat's sense of smell, especially the smell of Lijia nearby is so weak that it seems that it has never come back after passing by.

But it is also possible that she never came out after entering a certain ward, that's why the breath in the corridor became so weak.

While catching Lijia's aura, Nakahara also encountered the not-so-familiar but not completely unfamiliar Kudo's girlfriend's aura again. Except for the strongest door of the room where she was, she had entered several other rooms.

He lowered his head and stopped to look at the cat's paw, which looked like a white velvet mangosteen, and followed Mao Lilan's breath to find it.

Excluding the ward where Kudo's girlfriend is located, the remaining wards are very likely to be beneficial to Jia's ward.

Shinichi Kudo's ward, Sonoko Suzuki's ward, and... Toshika Fujimine's ward!

Zhong Yuanzhong also breathed a sigh of relief, raised his claws and pulled out a crack in the door to squeeze in, and then closed the door softly, so as not to let the nurses at the nurse's station hear the meowing and come to check.

Fortunately, the hospital arranged for them to recuperate in single rooms, and Zhong Yuanzhong didn't have to worry about being seen by others. Entering the ward can relax a little.

"Who?" The girl sat up slowly supporting her body, her voice was extremely low.

Zhong Yuanzhong also shook his ears, took a few steps forward and lowered his voice: "Meow."

He thought that Li Jia had fallen asleep at this time, but he didn't expect that she was just lying in a daze on the hospital bed with the light off, and had no intention of falling asleep and resting.

"Is it...?!" Li Jia covered her lips and said in a breathy voice: "Mr. Chuya?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also raised his head and glanced at Lijia's medical record in front of the bed, which said that it was low temperature frostbite.

He leaned over to take a closer look in confusion, and confirmed that he hadn't misread it because of his eyesight. Li Jia was really hospitalized for two or three days because of frostbite and didn't go back to the hotel.

Suzuki Sonoko's original plan was to take a trip to Okinawa for three days and two nights before the start of school, but as of today, the expected time for the trip has ended, and if they don't go back to Tokyo, they will delay the start of school report time.

"How did Mr. Nakaya find you here?" Li Jia tilted her body, leaning against the edge of the bed and looking down at him, keeping her voice down very low for fear that the cat's existence would be discovered by the nurses in the hospital.

Zhong Yuanzhong also shook his tail, walked over, stood up and raised his paw to press the tip of Lijia's nose: "Meow ow."

I found it following the smell of delivering a tablet today, that person should have come to the hospital before going to the hotel.

A little dust stuck to the warm meat pad and stepped on the girl's delicate and straight nose. She touched her nose and smiled silly and satisfied: "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Nakaya."

The little girl clasped the edge of the hospital bed with her hands and bent her knees to look at him, her posture was uncomfortable and she didn't make a sound, she just looked at him with a pair of bright and soft beautiful blue eyes.

"...Meow," Zhong Yuan Zhong also turned his gaze to her bandage-wrapped hand, extending from the fingertips to the loose cuff of the hospital gown. He leaned over and smelled the smell of medicine, and couldn't help it. I sneezed.

Li Jia hurriedly withdrew her hand to shield her body, and asked nervously, "Is the smell of the medicine too strong?"

He shook his head and jumped onto the hospital bed, leaving a few dirty plum blossom paw prints, and leaned over to Li Jia to smell them.

Not only the arms and fingers, but the rest of Li Jia's body smelled like medicine. He raised his claws and pulled down the pants leg of the hospital gown. Not surprisingly, he also found snow-white bandages, which were wrapped up layer by layer to cover the skin underneath.

"Meow?" Is it all frostbite here?Going out that day to find someone with frostbite?

Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't help hooking her trouser legs with his cat's claws, and yelled in a serious voice, "Meow——"

Didn't you bring two heating stickers?Why is it still so serious.

Li Jia raised her index finger to her lips, nervously beckoning him to be quiet and not to shout so loudly.

Cat's Claw stomped and trampled on the quilt and Li Jia's trouser legs irritably. Li Jia was hurt where he couldn't see, but he didn't know the reason or even the severity of her injuries.

Wei Liang hugged him into his arms with the scent of medicine, Zhong Yuanzhong also looked up at her, and stayed in her arms silently, letting her take out a tissue from the drawer to wipe his dusty and muddy clothes. Cat paw pads.

"Is Mr. Nakaya worried about me?" She lowered her eyes and gently wiped every corner of the cat's paw pad, wiping off the dirty things: "Sorry, I made you worry."

Her gentle and soft apology dissipated Nakahara Chuya's inner depression and irritability, and turned him helpless. He stretched his body to lick her nose, and only softly licked it with the tip of his tongue, without touching her pale face. Unusual red skin.

Why on earth is she apologizing?

It wasn't her fault at all, and he didn't mean to blame her.

Li Jia hummed softly, raised her hand and rubbed the tip of her nose lightly, hugged Nakahara Nakaya and slowly lay down and pulled up the quilt. She lay on her side and huddled under the quilt and whispered: "But Mr. Nakaya came to find me, I'm really glad oh."

The black hair was scattered on the pillow, and the girl's warm and soft breath fell on the top of the head and ears. The scent that was most familiar in the Central Plains was obscured by the strong smell of medicine. No wonder he couldn't find Li Jia's ward just now. .

He responded in a low voice, carefully licking her face with the tip of his tongue: "Meow."

Lijia has frostbite to varying degrees on her body. Her neck and face are probably a little better and they are not covered with bandages, but the part from her feet to her waist is the most severely eroded by the cold.

When she lay down with him in her arms just now, the hospital gown was rolled up to reveal her waist wrapped in layers of bandages. Obviously, the extent of frostbite was far beyond Li Jia's exposing hands and feet.

There are barbs on the cat's tongue. If the skin is not injured at ordinary times, it should just feel a rough thing rubbing past. It will not hurt or hurt except for a little itchiness.

Ke Lijia suffered from frostbite, and he could not determine the extent and extent of the frostbite.

"Mr. Nakaya, are you going to leave later?" Li Jia scratched the side of his face and jaw, bringing a large and comfortable feeling.

The tail that fell behind raised and patted down, and Zhong Yuanzhong also restrained himself from making a snoring sound, and pressed Li Jia's fingers: "...Meow."

"Huh? Mr. Chuya doesn't like this?" The little girl followed his movements and stopped, with a hint of disappointment in her expression: "Speaking of which, Mr. Chuya has never made a snoring sound in front of me."

Zhong Yuanzhong also shook his ears. The cat purrs because it is in a relaxed and natural state. The three real cats in the family can relax and show their bellies in front of Li Jia, showing their most relaxed and harmless side.

...but he couldn't do it.

He has forgotten how to completely relax himself in front of people, let go of all defenses and reveal the most gentle, soft and harmless side.

Zhong Yuanzhong is not a real cat, even if he knows that Li Jia is just an ordinary girl, he can't completely let go of his guard.

It's not that he wants to guard against Li Jia, what he has to guard against is always the danger that will appear from nowhere.The world is not peaceful either, there will be inexplicable murders and robbers who break into empty doors and lure children.

Even if he closed his eyes and fell asleep, Zhong Yuanzhong would still wake up due to the sound of activities and murderous aura. His consciousness was always in a state of half-asleep and half-awake. He was very used to this cat's body and habits.

Cats need to sleep more than ten hours a day, but most of the time they are in a state of light sleep and easy to wake up.

A natural hunter and a vigilant mind, many factors put together made it impossible for Zhong Yuanzhong to make such weak purring sounds and step on milk naturally.

He didn't dislike the little girl who adopted him.

"Meow ow ow." Zhong Yuan Zhong also looked at Li Jia quietly for a while, and the cat's paw pressed on her wrist and stepped on it lightly.

He just wanted to protect her and let her grow up safely from the wind and rain outside.

It doesn't matter if you don't realize the dangers and dark sides of the outside world, it doesn't matter if he will protect her, and it doesn't matter if you don't like dealing with people, no one will force her to grow up and have to face it...

As long as Li Jia remains as she is now, she is already a good child who is gentle enough and strong enough.

The meat pad received the information of the girl's regular pulse and sent it to the brain. Zhong Yuan also avoided the place where Li Jia could easily be stepped on. The cat's claws fell freely in the gap, stretched his neck and rubbed Li Jia's side face and neck with the cat's head.

Just like every time Lijia touched the cat's comfortable position.

"...Mr. Nakaya," Li Jia couldn't help but chuckled, "Are you planning to touch me in reverse? Do you want me to make a snoring sound?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also carefully and carefully executed the rubbing action, he really meant that.

Humans and cats have different senses, but there are also places that feel comfortable and relaxed when touched.

The cat's paw stretched out to carefully test his face and ears. He shook his ears to pay attention to Li Jia's reaction. He just pursed his lips and showed a cute shallow smile. He didn't feel particularly comfortable and wanted to purr like a cat.

"Meow?" Doesn't the cat's paws feel these places?

Zhong Yuanzhong also almost congealed his expression and fell into contemplation. Humans are also primates evolved from animals, so there should be places where you can feel relaxed and comfortable when you touch them.

Li Jia couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not so comfortable, it's better to say it's wonderful?"

She carefully held Nakahara Nakaya's cat's paw, which was tentatively and tentatively groping on her face, her soft face gently pressed against the cat's pad, she hooked her lips and whispered: "I will feel Mr. Chuya's pad, thick Thick, soft and somewhat rough."

"It's not a cat that will stay at home obediently." She lowered her head and kissed the cat's pad.

Zhong Yuanzhong uncomfortably withdrew his paw and flicked it. The feeling of the cool lips falling on the meat pad made the cat uncomfortable. The senses on the cat's meat pad are far more sensitive than human hands, finger pulps and other places.

He can accept the pain calmly and calmly, the feeling of stepping on the sand and stones on the ground, but such a soft and harmless thing makes the cat's claws numb.

"But I really like my brother touching my hair." Li Jia smiled with her cute little tiger teeth, and took the initiative to reveal her weakness: "I feel loved."

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at her thick black hair thoughtfully, and tentatively went around and stepped on the pillow. The cat's paws slowly fell on the top of Li Jia's hair and did not move: "Meow, ouch?"

She moved her head, took the initiative to rub Zhongyuan Zhongya's cat's paw, and said with a helpless smile: "It still feels different."

The feeling of a cat's paw falling on the top of the head is close to being touched, but it is not the same after all.

Zhong Yuanzhong also retracted the cat's claws, squatting upright on the pillow and meditating silently, his tail patted on the pillow and Li Jia grabbed it and played with it.

He moved his beard and lowered his head, sticking out his tongue to lick her hair.

Li Jia was taken aback by him, and couldn't help but push his head away: "It's too weird to lick."

Zhong Yuanzhong tilted his head to look at her incomprehensibly: "Meow?"

Why can touch but not lick?

"I will lick your hair wet..." She frowned slightly, and tried to explain: "And it's very strange, would Mr. Chuya like Chuya and them licking your head?"

As soon as she spoke, she said to herself: "Eh? Our cats don't seem to know how to lick each other?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also shook his ears, and looked at her calmly, his tail was still held in the palm of Li Jia's hand.

Li Jia struggled with her expression, and said in a low voice, "It's just that cats will lick each other's fur, clean things..."

While talking, she showed a puzzled look instead: "Is it because the cats in Chuya don't have the mother cat to teach them, so they don't lick each other's fur?"

"Meow." Zhongyuan Zhong also responded indifferently, probably.

He didn't really want the cubs in the family to lick his fur, so that his body was wet and full of their smell.

"I'll teach Mr. Chuya how to lick their fur." ​​Li Jia took a deep breath, holding up his cat's head with determination: "Mr. Chuya can lick their furs for Mr. Chuya when we go back, so that we can get closer to brothers. "

Zhongyuan Zhong also froze for a moment, what kind of brotherly relationship do they want to draw closer?

Before he could turn around, Li Jia stretched out her tongue and licked his forehead, not the old kiss but licking.

It's not comfortable, it's uncomfortable, it seems...

"Huh? Did Mr. Nakaya snore just now?" Li Jia's surprised voice pulled him back to his senses.

Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't believe it and opened his eyes wide: "Meow, meow?"
