Not too many out of four

When the tears fell down, Zhong Yuanzhong was also a little at a loss.

He thought that turning back into a cat would make Li Jia happier, but he didn't expect that she would suddenly shed tears, and the cool tears dripped down and wet the hair on her body, and Zhong Yuanzhong also froze and didn't even dare to move.

When his ears heard Li Jia's footsteps approaching, his body movements reacted faster than his brain, subconsciously changed back to the cat's appearance, and Mao Maoxiongsui ran to the entrance to peek.

Although they were forced to stay at home because they couldn't hide the cat's ears and tail perfectly, they have also changed back to the state of cats during this time, and they even clearly felt the change between the two forms after the night when Li Jia was rescued. become more comfortable.

It can barely be regarded as being able to freely control the transformation of the body, but the time is not long.

Most of the time the cat state will make them more comfortable, turning into a human and using gravity will produce a certain degree of hyperthermia.

In order to control his instincts and physical state, Zhongyuan Zhong also changes back to the state of a cat from time to time.

Edogawa Conan came back to Kudo House once three days after rescuing Li Jia, in order to tell them that the prisoners who hurt Li Jia had been found, and the body floating on the Yokohama pier had countless fish bite marks and injuries.

Although the prisoners had already changed the clothes and shoes they had worn during the robbery and burned them with firewood when they boarded the ship, some remaining fabrics that had not been burned by the flames could still be found at the warehouse site where they stayed.

According to the judicial autopsy, it can be determined that the prisoners all drowned in Yokohama Bay. The bones of the whole body were abnormally broken, but the cause of death was drowning. If it weren't for the clothes they wore that contained a lot of robbed jewelry, it would be impossible to confirm these two men who were beyond recognition. It was the criminal who robbed the jewelry store three days ago.

The way of death was so bizarre that the police officers of the first search team had to wonder whether the robbers had other companions. After they robbed all the jewels, they killed them in secret, but the jewels hidden in the clothes could almost match the robbers. The number of all the jewels stolen, from this point of view, it should not be for money.

Edogawa Conan told the whole case, and when he stared closely at his expression, Nakahara just tilted his head, kicked his ears and the side of his neck with his hind legs, and did not give any special reaction.

When he heard the way of death, he had already guessed that the person who did it must be "Zhongyuan Chuya", and then thought that the person who rescued Li Jia was "Mr. Chuya", and the rest of the answer was naturally self-evident.

"Mr. Nakaya" didn't tell Kudo when he was in the hospital, so he naturally wouldn't talk too much.

"Central Plains Chuya" may not be able to reach a consensus on the reaction to Li Jia, but when dealing with the prisoners who kidnapped Li Jia, they will only have one idea——

Enemies who harm their significant family members will be met with a thousandfold vengeance.

Regarding this point, no matter how old Nakahara Chuya gets, it will not change.

……

When Li Jia hugged them and cried, Zhong Yuanzhong didn't dare to struggle and move.

When she had cried enough and let go of them and raised her hand to wipe away her tears, Zhong Yuanzhong also heaved a sigh of relief.

He almost couldn't resist leaning forward to lick her tears just now, but he soon realized that they were no longer the simple relationship between the master and the cat as before, and Li Jia might be unhappy if he did this again.

Zhong Yuanzhong also lowered his head and stepped on his paw, struggling with how to confess his affairs to Li Jia.

When should he start talking about it, or tell her everything, everything about the cat demon is fake, and he was originally from another world.

Do you want to say everything so thoroughly?

It always feels like saying all the words at once, Li Jia may cry again, and she can't even cry, so she can only cry quietly and choke in the entrance.

For the first time, Zhongyuan Zhong also felt that a girl's tears could be used as a weapon. When she hugged them and wept silently, he even felt that he hadn't told her the truth, and hiding her was the worst thing he had ever done.

The tears that fell wet his fur, as if they could directly pass through flesh and blood, and hit his heart heavily, making him at a loss for what to do.

He had never seen anyone's tears before, and felt guilty for her sadness in silence.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also afraid of seeing Li Jia crying sadly, he wanted to reach out to give her some comfort as before, but he was afraid that the current self in Li Jia's heart was no longer qualified to do such a thing.

He wasn't her favorite kitty anymore.

Just thinking about it this way, I don't know where to put my hands and feet, and the whole person becomes at a loss.

"I'm back." Li Jia wiped away her tears and opened her mouth again. This time, Zhong Yuanzhong also saw her mouth shape, and felt slightly relieved.

He moved a little closer, and seeing that she didn't feel disgusted and walked away, he moved closer, raised his paw and rubbed against her hand, when Li Jia turned his palm over, Zhong Yuanzhong also put the cat's paw in, and solemnly called: "Meow! "

It doesn't matter if you want to play a high-five game or a claw game, as long as Li Jia doesn't feel sad anymore.

If Li Jia doesn't want to see "Central Plains Zhongye", he can always maintain the form of a cat.

Anyway, he has been a cat for such a long time, and he is already used to the behavior of cats and looking at Li Jia, so it doesn't matter if he continues to be her kitten.

Central Plains Chuya is not only "Central Plains Chuya" when he transforms into a human form.

When Li Jia changed her shoes and walked to the living room, Zhong Yuanzhong also slowly followed her, his tail drooping down and slowly shaking, completely lacking in the lively, mischievous and energetic kittens that usually have.

Of course, Nakahara Chuya would say that he would not admit that he is usually the most childish cat in the family, he just acts in his usual way.

He leaned his head to look at the living room. Li Jia leaned on the wall and bowed slightly to hold his right ankle, showing a faint look of pain.

The pupils shrank quickly, and Nakahara Chuya's body moved one step faster than his brain. He changed back into a human form without even thinking about it, and went to support Li Jia, saying: "Isn't the leg injury still healed? Don't force yourself so much. "

Li Jia blinked, pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled softly.

Central Plains was also a little uncomfortable, and it was impossible to withdraw at this time, so he turned his head and whispered: "Where are you going?"

She pointed to the location of the sofa, and then stretched out her hand to wave to the other Chuya cats who followed.

Probably because he was going to explain everything clearly before deciding on their future affairs, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed and helped Li Jia to sit on the sofa, and then found another single sofa to sit on.

He put his hands on his lap, straightened his body involuntarily, and waited for the trial of Li Jia, the owner of the cat.

Li Jia's physique is very poor, she is easy to get sick and is not good at sports, and she has almost no force value and will not pose any threat to him. Even if she stabs him with a knife, she is afraid that she will hurt her ordinary girl.

But it was such a girl who disturbed Nakahara Chuya's mood, making him happy for her happiness, sad for her sadness, and restless waiting for her sentencing.

Li Jia took out a pen and paper from under the coffee table in the living room, and focused on writing stroke by stroke. The rustling sound of the pen tip falling on the paper seemed to be falling on the heart, and a blunt knife was grinding flesh. Zhong Yuanzhong didn't dare to think about his expression now. Probably very ugly.

It's the same as the "Nakahara Chuya" who are now sitting in the living room and turning back into people.

Although it was an accident that she became a cat, Li Jia didn't know that she was deceived without knowing it, and she developed feelings for the cats as family members.

They are really deceiving.

Zhong Yuan Zhong also lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Li Jia's eyebrows and eyes, only feeling guilt welling up in his heart.

She clasped her hands together, smiled and drew their eyes over, and turned the paper over to show them.

There were only three questions written on it, "Are you all named Chuya Nakahara? Are you a cat demon or a patron saint? Will you leave here?"

Zhongyuan Zhongye was also stunned, and quickly replied with the mentality of sacrificing merit and guilt: "Well, my name is Zhongyuan Zhongya, and what they say is probably the same. I am not a cat demon or a patron saint..."

Li Jia's last question, he tugged at the collar around his neck and said uncomfortably: "... If you don't want me to leave, I will stay." He has no other place to go.

Although it is a bit cheeky to say so, but after living here for a year, he has already regarded this place as his home, and he also regards the guys in front of him who are also called "Zhongyuan Zhongye" as family members.

Not to mention, Li Jia is the most important family member.

"Maybe we are Zhongye in the Central Plains in a different timeline?" "Brother Zhongye" touched his nose. He probably guessed the identity of the cats in the family earlier, but there is no definite evidence.

If you just look at the clothes, you can probably recognize "Zhongye Jun" as the 15-year-old Zhongyuan Zhongya who is still a sheep, "Zhongye" is the 16-year-old Zhongyuan Zhongya who has joined the port mafia and became a quasi-cadre, and "Zhongye "Brother" is Chuya Nakahara, who became a cadre of the port mafia at the age of 22.

The only one left is "Mr. Chuya" who doesn't know exactly when it represents Chuya Nakahara, but this time "Brother Chuya" came back this time and saw the red scarf hanging on the shoulder of "Mr. Chuya", so he probably already guessed it.

He is Nakahara Chuya during the time when he represented the head of the port mafia.

The last time I saw "Mr. Chuya" turned into a human form, his scarf was untied and wrapped around Li Jia's body. "Brother Zhongya" didn't recognize his identity, but this time the scarf was already hung on him properly. No matter what the familiar scarlet scarf said, it was impossible for him to admit his mistake again.

The 15-year-old Nakahara Nakaya is still a sheep, so it is impossible to know the logo on the head of the port. The 16-year-old Nakahara Nakaya was promoted to a quasi-cadre not long ago, and he has no in-depth contact with many things inside the organization. What does the scarlet scarf mean.

Chuya Nakahara, who was only 22 years old and has been an organization cadre for four years, understood everything when he saw the scarlet scarf belonging to the leader on the shoulders of "Mr. Chuya".

However, what he couldn't understand was why "Mr. Chuya" seemed not much older than him?It is not even possible to tell who is older between them just by looking at their appearance.

He vaguely sensed the danger from this incident, but now is not the right time to ask these questions. He will ask "Mr. Chuya" in private if he has the chance.

The scarlet scarf on the shoulders of "Mr. Zhongye" probably shocked "Brother Zhongye" no less than the fact that "Mr. Zhongye" knew that he would definitely join the port mafia in the future.

There are three "Central Plains Chuya" who prove that he will join the port mafia in the future, and there is no way for Zhongyuan Zhongye to deceive himself. He spent a full week thinking about this matter, and finally had no choice but to let it go temporarily.

Unable to go back to the original world, it doesn't make any sense to say that Nakahara Chuya, the king of sheep, will join the port mafia in the future, and gradually rise from the middle level to quasi-cadres, cadres, and become a loyal high-level cadre under the command of the port leader.

Now it seems that he can't go back for the time being, but he can avoid the problem of confronting the sheep and the port mafia.

"I never thought of leaving here." "Zhong Ye" raised his hand and took off his wide felt hat, looking at Li Jia sincerely and frankly with his cobalt blue eyes, his expression was slightly condensed.

Zhongyuan Zhongye was also a little surprised. He is also "Chuya Zhongyuan". At the age of 16, he hardly hesitated about this question, but as an adult, he avoided talking about it.

Li Jia quietly held the pen and paper, as if accepting that even the same "Central Plains Chuya" would have different answers, lowered her head and wrote again: "Thank you, I understand."

He opened his eyes slightly, a little at a loss, what did Li Jia understand?

Soon she held up the paper again and turned it over: "Is anyone willing to accompany me out to buy the ingredients for tonight? I can't seem to carry the ingredients for five people by myself."

On the delicate and lovely face, the eyebrows and eyes are slightly curved, the lips are pursed and the cute canine teeth are smiling, and the smart and beautiful blue eyes are blinking lightly. There is no haze in the eyebrows and eyes, and there is no intention of being angry and blaming them.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also surprised and said: "Aren't you going to ask anything else?"

With a heavy guilt in his heart, he gestured and said anxiously, "For example, our identities, why we became cats, and why haven't we told you the truth for so long?"

Why didn't she ask anything? He obviously prepared a lot of words, but he felt like explaining and evading. He didn't know how to say all of them, so he had to wait for Li Jia to ask and then tell her a little bit.

Who knew that she only asked those three questions, as if she didn't care about anything else.

Li Jia tilted her head in doubt, and wrote: "Didn't Mr. Zhongye tell me? You are all Zhongye of the Central Plains, and they are Zhongye of the Central Plains in different periods."

Zhongyuan Zhong also raised his gestures for a while, and said dryly: "Then, does Li Jia have nothing to ask about other questions?"

She didn't ask anything, and her well-behaved appearance, which didn't intend to trouble them, made Zhong Yuan even more uncomfortable, as if she could accept parting at any time and was used to the life of parting.

Li Jia thought about it carefully with her face on her face, and slowly wrote: "Does Mr. Chuya know how you became cats?"

Zhong Yuanzhong was also choked by her question, and shook his head stiffly: "...I don't know."

"Mr. Zhongye didn't tell me the truth on purpose at that time. Didn't he forget about being a cat for too long?" She wrote on the paper again.

Zhong Yuan's voice was stuck in his throat, and his cheeks slowly turned red.

He had indeed forgotten that he could actually write with a cat's paw dipped in water, ink, or even Lijia's paint to tell her the truth.

Nakahara Chuya turned his head to look at the other people with a dull face. "Zhongye" silently covered his face with his hat, "Brother Zhongye" turned his head and coughed a few times in embarrassment, "Mr. It wasn't that he closed his eyes hard and sighed to put on a calm and calm look. He would really believe that the future self did it on purpose.

It seems that "Central Plains Chuya" has the same brain no matter how old he is.

When he first came here, the kitten’s body was still too fragile, and he couldn’t even walk well, so how could he write with his paws? After a few months, when his body grew up and he was able to jump and walk around, he was completely Forgot that you can actually communicate with Li Jia by writing.

... If you are not afraid of being regarded as a cat demon, you will be kicked out by Kudo on the spot.

Li Jia held up the paper to cover her face, her eyebrows and eyes were softly bent to cover her smile, and she turned back to show the words written on the back: "Just know that everyone didn't do it on purpose, we are still family members, aren't we?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also loosened his frown tightly all the time, lowered his eyes and smiled, "...that's true."

From the moment Li Jia brought them home, they have established an inseparable and important bond, and they are very important people in each other's lives.

He lowered his head and took out the ribbon that he had been clutching tightly in his pocket, strode over and put it in Li Jia's palm, awkwardly said: "Help me tie it again, I can't tie it so you look so good-looking."

Zhongyuan Zhong also knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and exposed the back of his neck to Li Jia, feeling a little uncomfortable in the quiet above his head.

But soon Li Jia gave her reaction, her slightly cool fingers fell on the back of his neck and brushed away the broken ochre-colored hair, gently raised the collar, passed the ribbon through it, and tied it flexibly to form a tie like a tie knot , hanging down from the back of the neck and tucked into the back collar.

Zhong Yuanzhong also touched the back of his neck, raised his head just in time to bump into those beautiful and bright eyes like the sea, and was slightly absent-minded.

"As a cat at home, help me tie it too?" "Brother Zhongye" leaned over and pressed the sofa behind Li Jia, stretched out his hand to send the ribbon he was holding, and said carelessly: "Please, Master Li Jia."

"Aren't you shy when you say that?" "Chuya" almost exploded, but he still leaned over awkwardly, and whispered: "...This is mine."

"Mr. Zhongye" looked down at the ribbon, and said with a helpless smile, "I'll leave it to you, Li Jia."

Li Jia blinked slightly, held the three ribbons in her hands, pursed her lips and smiled helplessly.

Zhong Yuanzhong also brushed the broken hair on the back of his neck. He wanted to hide it but felt that the hair would block it, and pulling up the sweater hat was too much to hide it.

He secretly glanced at Li Jia, the familiar gentle smile appeared again, and slowly exhaled the depression that was suffocating in his chest.

There's nothing wrong with that, right?
