The cat that wakes up and becomes a rival

Holding the pencil with his slender and strong fingers, Shen Du concentrated on drawing on the plain white paper.

Ning Zhi's desired effect is not very difficult. He can quickly draw a draft and show it to him. If there is anything he doesn't like, he can also revise it in time.

"I heard..." Ning Zhi hesitated to speak.

After stopping the brush, Shen Du looked up at Ning Zhi, waiting for him to continue talking.

"Pei Zhao took you home to meet your parents?"

".."

It seemed that it was time to find an opportunity for Pei Zhao to tear Ding Zishen's mouth open.

On the night when Shen Du went to Pei Zhao's house, Ning Zhi received a call from Ding Zishen to announce the good news. He stayed up in the middle of the night and called to quarrel, just to talk about it.

Ning Zhi was sleeping soundly, Ding Zishen murmured, he closed his eyes and murmured perfunctorily, until he heard the names of Shen Du and Pei Zhao he woke up a little.

At the beginning, he didn't quite believe Ding Zishen's words, but the other party patted his chest to give him a guarantee, and talked about the dinner at Pei's house, and even described the details with nose and eyes, which made Ning Zhi believe it.

"Could it be that you two are already together?" Ning Zhi's curiosity almost followed the inspiration of heaven.

It is human nature to gossip, and it is human instinct to eat melons, especially when the parties involved are Shen Du and Pei Zhao, anyone would want to go up and take a bite of melons.

"It's a little difficult to explain." Shen Du held his forehead, with a very embarrassed look on his face that hesitated to speak.

Ning Zhi looked at it carefully, and boldly guessed: "Could it be that Pei Zhao didn't let you talk about it?"

Lips pursed into a line, Shen Du lowered his head and continued to draw on the paper.

Seeing the smile overflowing from the corner of Shen Du's eyes, Ning Zhi instantly understood what Shen Du meant.

Even if the relationship has not been officially confirmed, it should be in the ambiguous stage before the relationship. It is estimated that he will be able to wait for good news from the two of them in a short time.

"I can't give you an accurate answer yet, but you can prepare the red envelope in advance."

Picking up the eraser that was placed aside, and cleaning up the excess lines on the paper, Shen Du turned the notebook around and pushed it to Ning Zhi, saying with confidence.

"Remember to wrap it thicker."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make a double pack for you two." Ning Zhi said with a smile as he leaned against the table with his arms folded.

Shen Du also smiled.

After dealing with the little cowards in the secret passage, Pei Zhao jumped down from the mouth of the head duct wagging his tail.

You can't find any useful information from the left and right, so it's better to take the opportunity to go to Ning Zhihuai to take a nap.

As soon as the paws landed on the ground, Pei Zhao saw two people sitting face to face at the table, you looked at me, I looked at you, with smiles on their faces, I don't know if they were talking about something interesting.

A strong smell of vinegar rushed out from the top of his head, Pei Zhao bared his fangs, and rushed over aggressively.

"Ouch-"

Pei Zhao jumped onto the table, lay between the two of them, and yelled fiercely at Shen Du.

"What are you going crazy about?" Shen Du held a pencil and tapped Pei Zhao's little head.

"Meow!!"

Pei Zhao fiercely grabbed the pencil, bit it hard, and broke it.

Shen Du: ".."

Pei Zhao cocked his tail proudly, squatted on the table, and puffed out his proud little chest.

Kill the chickens to warn the monkeys.

Next time, it won't be a pencil that he bites.

"Shen Du," Ning Zhi looked at the pencil that fell on the table complicatedly, and said to Shen Du, "Why do I think that your cat...will smash my signboard?"

The smile gradually froze at the corner of his mouth, Pei Zhao petrified on the spot.

damn!

He forgot to pretend to be cute in front of Ning Zhi!

He still wants to serve people in Maokayeser!

How can he!

In front of Ning Zhi!

Such a ferocious face! !

Shen Du had long been accustomed to "Pei Zhao" having convulsions from time to time, calmly threw the broken pencil into the trash can, and said calmly.

"What kind of wickedness can a kitten have?"

Pei Zhao was ecstatic!Shen Du actually spoke for him!

Before Pei Zhao was happy for too long, Shen Du immediately added the second half of the sentence.

"They just like to bite."

".."

-

In the end, after Ning Zhi's careful consideration, Shen Du still let "Pei Zhao" be taken away.

After all, hiring "child labor" is a small matter, but it hurts people.

If it really hurts the guests who come to dine, it is not just a problem that can be solved by losing money.

Pei Zhao was depressed all the way, lying in Shen Du's backpack, his whole body was limp, no matter how Shen Du fiddled with him, he looked powerless.

Back home, Shen Du took out Pei Zhao who was limp into a puddle of mud from his bag, put him on his lap on his back, and scratched his chest with his hands.

The fluff on "Pei Zhao"'s belly has grown very thick, and it feels soft to the touch, with a warm body temperature, which often makes Shen Du think of burying his face in it.

Looking at the sullen little guy, Shen Du gave up the idea of ​​sucking cats.

"Unhappy?" Scratching the cat's chin, Shen Du asked softly.

Pei Zhao sighed softly.

Shen Du couldn't figure out what was wrong with his little ancestor, he took out all kinds of snacks such as dried fish, chicken breast, canned cats, etc. that he liked to eat on weekdays.

In front of Pei Zhao's eyes, nothing can arouse his interest.

"Do you like Ning Zhi that much?" Shen Du asked.

Pei Zhao glanced at him lazily, got up from Shen Du's lap, walked listlessly to the corner of the sofa, lay down curled up, with his back to Shen Du.

"Don't want to talk to me? All right, you can sulk yourself."

Adolescent teenagers are unwilling to confide their innermost feelings to their parents.

Shen Du could only comfort himself like this.

Walking into the kitchen and taking off the apron on the wall, Shen Du took out fresh ingredients from the refrigerator and washed them one by one in front of the sink.

There are too many preservatives in the snacks bought outside, Shen Du is always worried that eating too much will be bad for the cat's health.

So except for some necessary things, the snacks that "Pei Zhao" eats are basically made by himself.

Shen Du is a strict excrement shoveler who pays attention to scientific feeding.

I heard from people on the Internet that homemade food looks clean, but some lack the nutrients that cats need, which is not good for cats.

For this reason, he specially consulted a professional cat breeder - Ning Zhi.

Finally, a set of scientific feeding formula that is very suitable for "Pei Zhao" was finalized.

Take out the washed ingredients and put them in the draining basin. Shen Du takes out a piece of chicken breast, removes the fat and fascia on it, and then tears the chicken into thin strips along the lines.

"Hey Siri."

It was inconvenient for Shen Du to hold the food in his hands, so he spoke directly to the mobile phone placed on the table.

【How can I help? 】

"Call Cai Wen for me."

After receiving Shen Du's instruction, Siri dialed Cai Wen's number.

"Hello? Boss?"

"Ah Wen, help me refund the booked air ticket." Shen Du said.

"What?" Cai Wen had just received the call when he learned of a thunderbolt, and he couldn't accept it.

It's rare for my boss to agree to an invitation, so why didn't he go all of a sudden?

"Boss, isn't this what we talked about earlier? How do you—"

"I didn't say no." The torn chicken breasts were neatly stacked on the tray, Shen Du interrupted unhurriedly, "I'm going, but I'm not going by plane."

"Not by plane?" Cai Wen was dumbfounded.

This year's DC Fashion Festival is held in H City, and it only takes an hour and a half by plane from S City. Apart from the plane, Cai Wen really can't think of any more convenient means of transportation.

"Well, it's not very convenient," Shen Du took two steps back, stood at the kitchen door, and looked at the kitten lying on the sofa.

"I plan to drive there, so I may leave a few days earlier, you don't have to worry, just help me refund the ticket." Shen Du returned to the cooking table and continued to tear the chicken breast, "By the way, help me Check to see if the hotel you book allows pets, and if not, find another one."

"Also, I may stop in several cities along the way, and I will send you the route later, just book a hotel that allows pets for me."

Ning Zhi had no way to take Yao'er in, and he was worried about handing it over to other people. After thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to keep Yao'er with him.

On the way home, Shen Du checked the information. If he wanted to bring a pet, he needed to check it in. Seal the pet in a box and keep it stuffy for a few hours. He couldn't bear it.

I would rather work harder than let Yao'er suffer.

When ordering Cai Wen to deal with these matters, Shen Du didn't find it troublesome at all, on the contrary, he felt a sense of fulfillment.

Before raising a cat, his life was only work, two o'clock and one line every day, except for design, it was design, which was boring.

Since raising a cat, the fun has also increased a lot.

Thinking of staying in S City for a long time, it's not bad to treat this trip as a self-driving tour.

The processed food was put into the air dryer, and Shen Du threw the thawed salmon into the pan to boil until cooked, then took it out and chopped it, changed to a frying pan, and fried the salmon oil on low heat.

After the things in the kitchen were arranged, Shen Du returned to the living room. Pei Zhao was still in the same posture just now, lying motionless on the sofa, as if he had fallen asleep.

Lying down next to "Pei Zhao", Shen Du rubbed his furry back with his side face.

-

It's a long way to drive to City H, and Shen Du didn't want to be in a hurry on the road, which would lead to fatigue driving.

So after confirming the itinerary, he decided to set off the next day.

The finished dress was put flat into the suitcase, and Shen Du moved the suitcase to the underground garage and put it in the trunk.

Although the conditions for self-driving are easier than flying, for safety reasons, Shen Du still puts "Pei Zhao" in a cage.

Pei Zhao's mood was depressed for a whole day, and he barely cheered up the next day.

Seeing Shen Du busy packing things for him into the box, Pei Zhao finally realized that Shen Du wanted to take him to City H together.

City H is not like City S with four distinct seasons, winter hardly exists, and the overall climate is pleasant with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. If he and Shen Du went to City H, he might not have to wait until spring before he could see stray cats.

In order to inquire about the news, Pei Zhao finally had some hopes for this long journey.

Shen Du's plan was very detailed. He would go out in the morning, stop for dinner along the way at noon, arrive at the destination hotel in the evening, take a good rest for the night, and continue on to the next destination the next day.

If the scenery along the way is particularly good, Shen Du will stay for an extra day and take "Pei Zhao" around with a SLR camera.

Ever since the last time the cat was lost, Shen Du took Pei Zhao seriously, bought a cat leash from somewhere, and dragged Pei Zhao around.

If it weren't for thinking about taking the opportunity to find local stray cats, Pei Zhao would never have given Shen Du the chance to treat him like a dog.

Not long after walking behind Shen Du, Pei Zhao couldn't move any more, so he rushed to Shen Du in two quick steps, hooked his clothes and climbed up, then sat around his neck and sat on his shoulders.

The nape of the neck was itchy, Shen Du turned his head and blew, blowing away Pei Zhao's hair and opening a shallow dimple.

"Tired?" As long as Shen Du swung his head, his cheeks could rub against Pei Zhao's hair.

Worried that he would fall, Shen Du dragged him underneath with one hand.

Later, Shen Du found that his worries seemed a little unnecessary.

This little brat, who was so desperate for his life, would not let himself fall off at all, and wrapped his claws around his neck tightly.

When I officially arrived in City H, it was a day later than the planned itinerary, but it was not too late.

The hotel in City H is prepared by the organizer. For such a relatively large-scale event, the organizer will directly book an entire floor or two floors according to the number of people for convenience. Everyone lives together and uniformly arranges security personnel.

This hotel has an elegant environment and a convenient location. After confirming that pets can be accommodated, Cai Wen did not rebook Shen Du to another hotel.

After checking in at the front desk of the hotel, the bellman who was in charge of helping walked up to Shen Du, nodded and smiled at him and said, "Hello, Mr. Shen, please give me your luggage."

The suitcase behind him was handed over to the porter, and Shen Du held the cage in his hand and said, "I'll do this myself."

Seeing the little ancestor sleeping soundly on his stomach through the gap in the cage, Shen Du held the cage in his arms and tried not to let the cage swing back and forth, which affected his rest.

It's hard for him to follow him all the way, and he is probably exhausted.

After swiping the card to enter the room, Shen Du put the cage in the room, turned around and thanked the porter, and took his luggage.

The organizer prepared a luxurious double bed room, the room was clean and tidy, and the environment was elegant.

The cultural center facing the window often holds concerts and other activities, and it is also a venue for fashion festivals in a few days. Standing at the window and looking out, you just have a panoramic view of the most restless night in City H.

The first thing Shen Du did when he entered the room was to check the windows one by one to make sure they were closed and locked, and then he opened the cage door with confidence.

Pei Zhao was still sleeping on his stomach inside, curled up, hugging his big tail, his small triangular mouth slightly opened, revealing a little pink tip of his tongue.

Shen Du didn't bother him, but just opened the cage so that he could come out to play by himself after waking up.

Open the box and take out the water and food bowls. Shen Du washed them before taking them to the sink, then wiped off the water stains, put food and water on them and put them aside.

From what he knew of the cub, he would be hungry when he woke up.

After finishing his little ancestor's work, Shen Du began to pack his luggage.

After hanging the clothes in the cabinet, Shen Du took a set of pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

..

When Pei Zhao woke up, the hotel room was very quiet and the lights were not turned on. It took him a while to get used to the dark room before he could see clearly.

The water bowl and food bowl next to the cage were clean, and the food still smelled of the original aroma, but it was a pity that Pei Zhao had just woken up and had no appetite.

Looking around the room, Pei Zhao saw the cardboard box under the window sill at a glance.

The cardboard box was erected high on all sides, and a gap was cut on one side for easy access, and it was full of cat litter inside.

I didn't expect Shen Du to be such a careful person.

Pei Zhao enjoyed the fruits of Shen Du's labor contentedly, then buried it with his little paws, and jumped out of the litter box with a smile.

Wandering around the room but not seeing Shen Du's figure, Pei Zhao cocked his tail high and patrolled the suite.

In the living room, only a light in the foyer was turned on. Under the dim light, one could vaguely see a person lying on the sofa. His hair should have just been washed, with water stains falling down drop by drop. The yellow-patterned marble floor area A small puddle.

Pei Zhao tiptoed around to the front of the sofa, and saw Shen Du lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, with a fashion magazine provided by the hotel buttoned to his chest.

He probably wanted to lie here and wait for his hair to dry before going back to his room to sleep. Who knew that he fell asleep without reading two pages of the magazine.

Even though the light in the room was not bright, Pei Zhao could still see the two bruises in Shen Du's eyes, which seemed to be heavier than when he saw Shen Du just now.

Bypassing the puddle of water on the ground, Pei Zhao stared at Shen Du's swaying hair, and turned to look at the wall behind him.

An air conditioner was hung on the wall of the living room, and the air outlet was just facing it, and Shen Du, who was lying on the sofa, was blowing vigorously.

Pei Zhao stood on the spot and looked intently, then turned and ran into the house.

After a while, the gray-white kitten was dragging towards the sofa with a towel in its mouth.

The towels prepared by the hotel are larger than those used at home, and feel thicker, which is hard to blame for Pei Zhao.

Struggle to walk to the sofa with a towel in his mouth, Pei Zhao squatted down and jumped up, hooking his paws on the armrest and jumping onto the sofa smoothly.

It's just that the towel was a bit heavy for him, and halfway through the jump, it slipped from his mouth and fell to the ground.

Pei Zhao didn't give up, jumped off the sofa, bit a corner of the towel, and tried again.

The white towel was finally put on the sofa, Pei Zhao turned around carefully, opened his mouth to Shen Du's head.

With a bang, the towel slipped and just covered Shen Du's head.

".."

Pei Zhao watched condescendingly for a long time, and felt that something was wrong.

Hotel living room..

The man lying on the couch..

The head was covered with a white cloth..

Pei Zhao stood on the back of the sofa and shivered.

Cautiously jumping off the sofa, Pei Zhao bit the corner of the towel, and dragged it back no matter how it was covered by Shen Du.

As soon as he turned around and took two steps while biting the towel, Pei Zhao felt something behind him clamp his tail.

Pei Zhao turned his head and met Shen Du's heavy gaze.

Shen Du stretched out one hand and held Pei Zhao's tail lightly, his sleepy eyes looked a little out of focus, with a few bloodshot eyes, slightly European-style double eyelids, because he didn't wake up, he looked a little bit out of focus. Appears more profound.

Looking at Pei Zhao for a few seconds, Shen Du closed his eyes and turned over, muttering in a sleepy voice, "What are you messing around with?"

Shen Du's voice just after waking up sounded particularly magnetic, with a few bubbly sounds at the end of a few syllables, crackling against Pei Zhao's little heart.

bang bang bang

Pei Zhao suddenly panicked.

Lying on the sofa and struggling for a while, Shen Du gritted his teeth and straightened up, sitting up from the sofa.

"What are you doing with the towel?"

From the moment Pei Zhao threw the towel on his face, Shen Du had already woken up.

It's just that the exhaustion of running around for the past few days poured out of his brain after he relaxed, making him lie on the sofa and really don't want to get up.

Putting on the slippers, Shen Du got up and picked up the towel on the ground, picked up the cat into his arms with one hand, put the top of the cat's head on his chin, and rubbed it perfunctorily.

"Has Yao'er heard the story of the frog prince?" Shen Du walked to the door of the bathroom and threw the towel on the shelf.

Pei Zhao raised his head and stared at Shen Du's chin, shaking his beard.

Shen Du held Pei Zhao in his arms like a baby in his arms, and recited fairy tales in his mouth.

Pei Zhao rarely lay obediently on the bed, leaning against Shen Du's chest, listening to the vibrations in his chest from speaking.

Shen Du probably smoked secretly without him knowing, even the shower gel couldn't cover up the strong tobacco smell on his body.

"Please, dear princess, only your kiss can break the curse that the wicked witch has cast on me."

Shen Du supported his head with one hand, lay on his side on the bed, and patted the kitten in his arms.

"The princess was finally moved by the frog, and leaned over to kiss the little frog. The curse on the frog prince was lifted and he became a prince."

"Later, the Frog Prince and the Princess got married and lived happily together."

A faint fragrance penetrated into the nostrils, Pei Zhao heard Shen Du's deep voice, his eyelids became heavier as if filled with lead, and the voice above his head gradually drifted away.

"Yaoer, are you my Prince of Maine?"

The author says:

"Little princess, my love, open the door quickly!

The person who loves you has arrived, open the door quickly!

You will never forget yesterday, when the old linden tree went down to the edge of the pool, the deep water of the pool disappeared, and it was you who made the promise. "—"Grimm's Fairy Tales" The Frog Prince;

-

"The princess was finally moved by the frog, and leaned over to kiss the little frog. The curse on the frog prince was lifted and he became a prince."

"Later, the Frog Prince and the Princess got married and lived happily together."
