Not too many out of four

Today's cat meal was a bit too rich, and Zhongyuan Zhong also lowered his head to eat the cat meal, and couldn't help but prick up his ears to eavesdrop on the voices at the dinner table.

Dr. Ali and his friend's two granddaughters came to visit together. It looked very ordinary, but he always felt that the two little devils were too precocious.

It's not that he has any objections to the old man's friends, it's just that the two brats are as precocious as Edogawa Conan who often comes to visit, especially the brown-haired Haibara Ai, who has a maturity that doesn't match her age.

She looked at everything nearby with indifference, only when she faced her elder sister, her eyes softened a lot, revealing the appearance of a little girl, other times she was like an adult living in the body of a little ghost.

The sense of disobedience in her body is heavier than that of Edogawa Conan to Nakahara Chuya.

If it is said that Edogawa Conan is always the same kid, he treats Li Jia like Kudo, but he doesn't have any bad intentions.

The new Huiyuan sisters made him confused about the details and where they came from.

It has only been over a month since the incident in Duoluobijia Paradise, and the mafia monitoring Lijia lasted for a full month before withdrawing. Sneaked in again to install new listeners while out.

Zhongyuan Zhongyuan, who used to fight against the mafia on Leibo Street for several years, is also very clear about how persistent those hyena-like guys are, and it is impossible to let them leave without completely getting what they want.

The cat's body alone may be able to force one or two people back, but it is almost impossible for the mafia to give up surveillance of Kudo's house.

The mafia will only be repelled by stronger forces and powers. All he can do with his current status is to endure and separate them from Lijia to the greatest extent. Fortunately, the cats at home don’t seem to like monitors either. If you find it, you will smash it into pieces without hesitation.

After a month of continuous monitoring and monitoring like dog skin plaster, the mafia people were finally willing to withdraw and leave the vicinity of Kudou's house.

But now the Huiyuan sisters who came to visit as the granddaughter of Dr. Ali's friend seemed to have no problem, but Zhongyuan Zhong didn't dare to let go of his vigilance towards them.

He licked his mouth clean, and the pads fell silently on the ground near Li Jia's legs, his tail was raised high with a fighting spirit——

"Have you eaten enough, Mr. Zhongye?" His body was suddenly picked up, with a familiar smell lingering around him, and his movements were gentle and careful, holding his back like a baby and putting him on his lap.

Zhong Yuanzhong also moved his body, turning his tail around uncomfortably and sticking it to his side.

"Meow?" He raised his head and called, why did he suddenly invite a stranger to his house?

Even if it was the boy Edogawa's classmate, Li Jia didn't invite anyone over as a guest or even entertain him for dinner.

"Is Zhongye-jun curious about the new sisters?" Li Jia skillfully massaged the cat to relax, letting his body soften slowly, flattened into a ball and landed on her lap: "Yajun and Aijun are both doctors My friend’s granddaughter, today I invited them to come together because I came in a hurry and didn’t have time to prepare dinner.”

It's a pity that Zhongyuan Zhong doesn't have much fat even if he is flattened. He is a cat who is good at exercising himself. He is lean but full of muscles and jumps up to single out wolf dogs.

Although for him in the past, this is not something to brag about.

"Meow? Meow!" Isn't it someone sent by the Mafia?I always feel that the timing of their appearance is very subtle.

It happened to appear when Kudo didn't come back, and she was still the granddaughter of Dr. Ali's friend.

I don't know what case that guy Kudo is investigating, and he has to go outside for so long without coming back. If Kudo is still using his observation skills, he can more or less detect whether their identities are safe or not.

Li Jia didn't understand what he was meowing about, but she just smiled softly, harmlessly and cutely: "Ya Jun and Ai Jun are going to live with the doctor, they should also be transferred to Didan Primary School, right?"

For the convenience of going to school, it is impossible to go back to the original school. It may be the best choice to go to Didan Primary School for a period of time.

"The nearest elementary school to the doctor's house is Didan Elementary School, right? Ai and I should go to that school together." Hui Yuanya smiled helplessly, and her voice paused when she called her sister's name, which seemed a little bit Not used to it.

But she also explained the reason to Li Jia just now, because she has experienced some things before, and she wants to temporarily change her name to avoid things she hated before, including surname and first name.

Hui Yuan Ya and Hui Yuan Ai are the new names they set for themselves.

This is also something that the Central Plains can't figure out. In a new place that no one knows, they have to change their names and surnames, saying that it is to avoid certain things, but in the Central Plains, it seems more like to avoid certain people.

Because I don't want to be known about my previous identity, and in order to completely avoid the people I knew in the past, even my name and surname and even my place of residence have to be completely changed.

There are too many things wrong with this pair of sisters, but Dr. A Li didn't seem to notice it at all. He smiled cheerfully throughout the meal. Looking at the three girls at the dinner table was as kind as looking at his granddaughter, and he never thought about it. What other thoughts.

If he could regain his human form now, he would almost grab Dr. A Li's shoulder and ask him exactly who he brought back, and if he knew their identities.

It's a pity that people can't understand the cat's words, and he is not from the Kudou family, so he has no right to speak in the Kudou house, so he can only watch helplessly as the silly girl treats him well and establishes a relationship.

When the Huiyuan sisters wanted to reach out to touch him, Nakahara Nakaya avoided their hands with a sulky face, and jumped on Li Jia's shoulder to warn them about what kind of monitor they were going to put down at Kudou House.

Not only him, but also the other three Zhongye cats in the family did not subdue the suspicious person casually, lying down and touching them.

Li Jia was not surprised at all. Although her cats and cats dared to go out and run around, they were always afraid of people and would not be petted casually.

The cats are only obedient and obedient in front of her, and they are cold and vigilant cats in front of others.

Zhong Yuanzhong also stood on Li Jia's shoulder and watched her send away Dr. Ali and the others, thinking about how to remind her, don't just believe anyone.

He couldn't talk to Li Jia when he was not a human being, but when he became a human being...

He doesn't have the feeling that he's going to turn back into a human right now.

This is very subtle to say, but Zhongyuan Zhong also turned back to human twice because of a special feeling, the heat that can burn the body and melt the brain and reason into fuzzy heat.

He doesn't have this impulse and feeling at all now, and he can't find another way to turn back into a human.

The petite cat stood on the girl's shoulders, and when she turned her head, she saw a slender and soft neck. The slow flow of blood and the sound of the beating heart made the sensitive cat's ears tremble.

He often hides on Li Jia's shoulder, and now he is the only one in the family who can stand up steadily and not be carried away by the girl. The reason is probably because of his weight and size.

I don't know what's going on, it's obvious that they eat the same amount of cat food every time, but his weight has always been the lightest and the smallest among the four cats.

Every month when Li Jia weighed them, Zhong Yuanzhong would also take the initiative to go over and ask for a re-test in disbelief. Of course, the girl who indulged them would help him weigh him no matter how many times he wanted to re-test.

But Zhongyuanzhong is not good and always delays Lijia's time, and also feels stupid for competing with cats.

Although he is the smallest cat in the family, he will completely return to his adult form in the future, so he doesn't care about this temporary disadvantage.

"Mr. Zhongye wants to take a bath with my sister tonight?" Li Jia took out all the clean dishes from the dishwasher, wiped them again and put them back in the cabinet, casually asking the little cat on her shoulder.

Anyway, the cats at home are not afraid of water. The day before yesterday, in order to hunt down Kidd and Maoyan, they stepped on muddy spots and came back. Although they barely wiped the cats with wet wipes, they were so dirty that they couldn’t get back to normal unless they were cleaned thoroughly. clean look.

If it hadn't been for the bad weather these days and it's been raining, Lijia wanted to wash all the cats at once.

It's a pity that if you do this in such a humid and rainy weather, the cats in Zhongye are likely to catch a cold. After thinking about it, Li Jia decided to wash a cat every day.

It happened that "Mr. Zhongye" was in the kitchen with her, and after cleaning the kitchen, they could hold the cat and take a bath together.

"Meow? Meow meow!" Zhong Yuanzhong, who was wrapped around Li Jia's shoulders, also had his hair blown up all over, and yelled in shame.

The cat fur on his body could hardly stop the heat and wild thoughts of his body. Li Jia's words were just mentioned casually, and he did not regard him as someone who needed to be guarded against.

But he knew that he was not a simple cat. If he just rubbed bubbles from head to toe as usual, although Zhong Yuan was shy, he would not be unacceptable.

But the meaning of taking a bath is completely different. How could he enter the bathroom to take a bath with an unsuspecting girl? He would watch her...

Zhong Yuanzhong was also so ashamed that his hair exploded all over his body, and the whole cat became fluffy like a hairball, and because of the humid weather, even the blown hair seemed a little limp.

"Hey, Mr. Zhongye?" Li Jia was puzzled, and reached out to touch him, but Zhongya shrank his head and hid.

Zhong Yuanzhong also yelled and jumped off Li Jia's shoulders, and rushed out of the bungalow quickly regardless of her persuasion, and plunged into the pouring rain.

The cold rain washed over his body, and the familiar yet unfamiliar heat burned his consciousness, churning and rolling under the baptism of the heavy rain, burning more and more intensely, and all the hair that had just exploded were wet and sticky to his body.

Zhongyuan Zhong also nestled in the grass and felt that the rain was so heavy that the cat's eyes could not be opened. He rolled in the grass, hesitated for a while, but still did not hide under the tree.

Hiding under a tree is easy to be in danger of being struck by lightning, he still knows it.

If Li Jia just wanted to wash the cat, the effect should be the same if he rinsed it with rainwater outside, but he might catch a cold when he went back, but it was better than taking advantage of Li Jia without her knowing.

Zhongyuan Zhong also flattened his body and rolled in the grass, with the wet grass under his body and the cold rain falling from the sky, but he still felt his body was very hot.

This feeling was a bit like his urge to turn back into a human, but he had a similar feeling a few times this month, and the only time he really turned back into a human was at Dorobiga Paradise and at home.

At other times, even if there is a similar feeling, the body will not turn back into a human.

In the beginning, Zhong Yuanzhong also expected to hide in a corner where no one was around and wait for the changes in his body, but he was played by the deceptive heat of "Wolf is coming" a few times, and he was used to ignoring this feeling.

Anyway, it's all fake, and he won't really become a human, just ignore it.

Obviously, the feeling of body heat was the same as those two times, but he couldn't change back to his youthful appearance. This time, it was probably a similar illusion. His body was deceiving him.

Zhong Yuanzhong also shook his ears, and turned to look at the wall of the bungalow.

Even through the cat's hearing through the wall, he could easily hear Li Jia's voice calling to find him. He moved his lips silently, how could it be possible for her to find him at this time.

If he slipped back wet now, Li Jia would be worried that he would be sent to the bathroom to take a shower immediately, and it would be difficult to run after entering the bathroom.

...and he didn't want to take advantage of her at this time.

It’s not that Nakahara has never taken a bath with his companions. They have also been to the bathhouse in Yokohama. After all, there is no hot water in the bathroom at the base on Leibo Street. If you want to take a comfortable hot bath in winter, you have to go to the bathhouse.

If a dozen or twenty children go together, the boss will take the initiative to give them a discount because there are many of them and they are young.

It's just that even if you take a bath in the bathhouse, you have separate men's bath and women's bath, instead of mixing them together.

Teenagers are not kids who haven’t gone to school yet. How can they mix and take a bath together? In the sheep, they are all older children and take the younger children to wash together, taking care of each other and scrubbing clean. It’s rare to waste such a luxury. Behavior.

The irritable and embarrassing thoughts made Nakahara Nakaya's brain confused. He turned over and collapsed in the grass, forming a large character, and flicked his tail from side to side randomly, cracking the rain-soaked tender grass.

The rain washed his body and couldn't dissipate the heat. Zhong Yuanzhong was also irritable and clicked his tongue, and couldn't help complaining: "The water is in the ears."

Even if he deliberately pressed his ears down to prevent rainwater from entering his ears, the rainwater would inevitably slip in through the gap.

He raised his hands and pinched his ears to squeeze out the water, only to realize after a while that he had turned back into a human again.

After that brief transformation back to human, he returned to his original appearance again.

The tail was flicking left and right behind him excitedly, Zhong Yuan clenched his fists and shouted: "Finally, finally transformed back!"

Although he still hasn't found the law of turning back into a human, but I believe that as long as he does it two more times, he will definitely master the way to turn back into a human.

The ocher hair was wet and stuck to his face and neck, but Zhong Yuanzhong didn't care about these little things, he just took advantage of the dark night and weather to avoid being noticed by anyone, and easily climbed up to the balcony outside Lijia's bedroom.

He didn't plan to meet Li Jia this time, he just took the leather jacket back and left, waited until he turned back into a cat, and then went home as if nothing had happened last time.

Although the current body has no supernatural powers, the cat's lightness and agility and his skills are all there. It is not difficult for him to climb the balcony outside Lijia's bedroom.

Squatting like a cat, it landed on the balcony fence, with its tail raised freely to maintain the balance of the body.

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his lips proudly, Shi Shiran raised his head and met Li Jia's stunned gaze.

She had just taken a shower, her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, she was wearing a thin nightgown that was longer than her calves, and she was wiping her hair with a towel pulled out of a drawer.

"You..." Li Jia opened her mouth, and even her voice was blocked in her throat, not knowing what to say.

Nakahara Chuya blushed instantly, covered his face with one hand, and explained in a panic: "No, the situation is not what you think!"

He just watched that the lights in Lijia's bedroom were not turned on, and he could take advantage of this time to go back and get the leather jacket back. He didn't mean to jump into her bedroom to peek at her.

The blush on his cheeks quickly spread to his ears and neck, and even the heavy rain outside the balcony couldn't stop the shame and anger in his heart. This was really a misunderstanding, but now he doesn't even know how to explain it.

Explain to Li Jia that he didn't come to peek on purpose, just to retrieve the leather jacket?But how would he explain it? He knew this was Li Jia's bedroom.

Obviously they only met twice, and they didn't go up to the bedroom when they came last time.

According to the thinking of normal people, only peeping and following will know what Li Jia didn't tell him.

But he really...

Unable to explain the current situation clearly, Zhongyuan Zhong also gave up on himself and thought about turning around and fleeing here immediately, and come back to get the clothes when he finds a chance next time.

As soon as he turned around and jumped up, he heard Li Jia's voice behind him: "Wait, wait..."

Zhongyuan Zhong also wailed in his heart, don't call him or see his face at this time.

Suddenly there was a slight pulling pain at the tailbone, he took a breath and turned his head, seeing Li Jia holding his tail helplessly, stammering: "Hold, sorry..."
