The cat that wakes up and becomes a rival

The cold water sticks to the hair, dripping wet, and the fluffy "fur collar" of the Maine Coon cat is stuck together, looking pitiful.

Shen Du pursed his lips, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and gently rubbed the little milk cat's head.

Lowering his eyes and looking carefully, the little guy had grown as long as a forearm unknowingly, Shen Du looked a little surprised.

He remembered that when the little guy was brought home, it was only the size of a palm.

Regardless of the water stains on "Pei Zhao", Shen Du wrapped his arms around the angry little guy in his arms, and comforted him softly.

Pei Zhao was so angry that he twisted his body to struggle out, twisting from side to side like a caterpillar, he couldn't escape Shen Du's restraint no matter what.

"Little rascal." Shen Du stroked the fur of "Pei Zhao".

Pei Zhao gave up struggling and let out a long sigh.

Shen Du squinted at him, chuckled, and said with a smile: "What can you worry about, little guy? You look like moaning and sighing all day, is it because the dried fish is not tasty, or the biscuits are not to your liking?"

Pei Zhao shrunk in Shen Du's arms with a sad face, the faint smell of hotel shower gel lingered on the tip of his nose.

A cat's sense of smell is much more sensitive than a human's. Pei Zhao shrugged his moist little nose, keenly peeling off a special smell from the aroma of the shower gel.

A taste that only belonged to Shen Du.

It’s like a cool wind blowing in the hot summer, with a faint fragrance from nowhere, no industrial grinding, no chemical processing, the most primitive, the most authentic, the taste of summer .

Shen Du was busy with the grand ceremony these few days, so he hardly had the opportunity to smoke, and with the fact that he had just taken a shower, the tobacco smell on his body became even weaker.

Pei Zhao felt a little overwhelmed by the smell, and unconsciously leaned his head on Shen Du's shoulder, and gently rubbed the cold tip of his nose against Shen Du's neck.

"I thought of acting like a baby when I made a mistake, and I really know how to slap Tianzao."

Shen Du felt itchy from being rubbed by him, dragged the cat around, and freed one to pat Pei Zhao's butt.

"It's useless for me to act like a baby. I think you should make up for it."

Pei Zhao looked at Shen Du suspiciously, looked up and down with his big round eyes, full of vigilance in his heart.

Putting down the object in his hand, Shen Du flexed his index finger and tapped it lightly on the table, the tip of his tongue glistening with crystal water protruded from the side of his lips, and gently licked the corner of his mouth.

"After you were taken away by Brother Pei Zhao, did you see any strange uncles around him?"

? ?

A huge question mark appeared on "Pei Zhao"'s forehead, and he looked at Shen Du suspiciously.

"Ahem," Shen Du cleared his throat, and continued, "I mean, have you ever seen those strange uncles pestering him?"

"Pei Zhao" blinked, trying to squeeze the question marks out of his eye sockets.

Whether there was a strange uncle before, Pei Zhao was not sure, but there was a ready-made strange uncle in front of him.

"Uncle Weird" Shen Du poked "Pei Zhao" in the head, pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, look at your empty little head, I guess it only contains dried fish, and it can't be used to get anything useful information."

Pei Zhao waved his little paw indignantly, and slapped Shen Du's finger between his eyebrows away, and heaved a sigh of relief!

"Shh!"

[Stop touching me!You know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart, I didn't expect you to be such a Shen Du, to inquire about me with a cat? ! 】

Pei Zhao twisted his body angrily and wanted to escape, but was grabbed by the back of the neck by a sudden big hand from behind, and was dragged back forcibly.

"The hair hasn't been dried yet, where do you want to go?"

Grabbing "Pei Zhao" back into his arms, Shen Du stretched out his index finger and hooked his tail around his hand to make circles, with a gentle voice as if he was coaxing a child.

Not knowing where the bad thoughts came from, Shen Du pinched the tips of "Pei Zhao"'s ears, lowered his head and blew in, with a loud whistling sound, the hot breath penetrated the eardrums, hitting Pei Zhao's brain and causing dizziness.

When Shen Du let go of it and put it on the sink, "Pei Zhao" was still in a sluggish state.

"Why are you staring at me all of a sudden?" Shen Du had a smirk on his face.

Pei Zhaowen paused, and quickly turned around to bury his hot cheeks. After burying them for a while, Pei Zhao suddenly remembered that his face was covered with thick hair now, and Shen Du would never notice that he was blushing.

Shaking the hair off his body, Pei Zhao held back his breath of refusal to admit defeat, straightened his neck, glared at Shen Du, his face full of disbelief.

Shen Du took off a towel from the drying rack and covered "Pei Zhao"'s head, covering his puffy little head, and teased with a smile through the towel and into his ears.

"Do you think Dad is very handsome?"

All the words of rebuttal were covered in the towel, and Pei Zhao choked.

It's a bit like Ge Qiu holding him under his arm to wash his face when he was a child, he couldn't escape, it was suffocating.

After taking a shower and blowing his hair clean, Pei Zhao is a resounding heroic cat again.

Pei Zhao ate the biscuits that Shen Du fed to him, and lay lazily on the sofa, watching Shen Du carry his luggage.

On the return journey, the time spent on the road was reduced by half compared to the time when we came here. On the one hand, it was because we had already played almost everything we could play on the way here.

On the other hand, Shen Du's studio still has some things to deal with, and there is no way to keep him outside for too long.

When the car drove into the gate of the community, the security guard lowered his head and looked through the car window. Seeing that it was Shen Du, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Hi! Long time no see, Mr. Shen."

Shen Du is very popular, and he has met many people in and out of the community, and the impression is not bad, especially the last time I asked the property to help find a cat, it took a lot of effort.

After lowering the car window, Shen Du waved to the security guard and responded, "I just came back from a business trip."

The security guard scratched the back of his head with a smile, and was about to say goodbye to Shen Du, when he suddenly saw the cat cage on the back seat, and "Pei Zhao" who was lazily leaning against the cage, slapped his forehead suddenly, and let out a loud cry .

"Oops, I almost forgot one thing."

Shen Du was taken aback, raised his eyebrows and looked at the security guard, "What's the matter?"

"I remember that Mr. Shen has the habit of running in the community. I suggest you stay at home these few days." The security guard's serious appearance made Shen Du also vigilant.

Shen Du, sitting in the front row, frowned slightly with his elbows resting on the edge of the car window, while "Pei Zhao" in the back row desperately got out through the gap in the cage, stretching out his ears, for fear of missing the gossip news.

"There have been a lot of wild cats in the neighborhood recently, not to mention scaring many old people and children, and even scratched an owner yesterday." The security guard sighed, took out a fishing net from behind, and waved it lightly at Shendu.

"Hurt someone?" Shen Du frowned deeply, and his right hand holding the steering wheel tightened unconsciously.

There have always been stray cats in the community. Occasionally, some children or warm-hearted adults will feed the stray cats. Everyone gets along very well. I didn't expect to hurt people this time.

"Well," the security guard wanted to say something more, but just as he looked up, he saw Shen Du's car, and several cars drove in one after another, and quickly got out of the way to let Shen Du drive in first.

"All right, all right, don't bother Mr. Shen, go back and rest quickly."

Shen Du nodded to bid farewell to the security guard, and quickly drove the car to the garage.

The first thing he did when he got home was to settle the kitten neatly, and then Shen Du rolled up his sleeves leisurely and started to pack the luggage he brought back.

Pei Zhao jumped out of the cage, stretched his waist long, jumped onto the long-lost cushion, curled up comfortably, hugged his big tail, and smacked his mouth.

Lie on the mat for a while, Pei Zhao suddenly remembered what the security guard said just now, jumped onto the window sill, and looked downstairs through the glass.

Do stray cats hurt people?

Pei Zhao always felt that things should not be that simple.

Staring at the buildings outside the window in a daze, a warm palm suddenly fell from the top of Pei Zhao's head, and he rubbed it gently on the soft hair.

"What are you looking at, little wild cat? You just want to go out and play when you get home?"

Shen Du thought that "Pei Zhao" had gotten used to going outside these few days and was unwilling to be locked up at home.

"Meow-"

【none of your business! 】

Mumbling, Pei Zhao rolled his eyes, shook off Shen Du's hand, and hid at the other end of the window sill, angrily hiding his two front paws under his body.

Cold air surged under the palm, and Shen Du's fingertips still had the soft touch of "Pei Zhao".

The corner of his mouth curled into a chuckle, Shen Du retracted his hand, and his palms rubbed against each other to make a rustling sound.

"The child has grown up and has his own thoughts."

Pei Zhao cast a glance at Shen Du, then moved his body into the distance.

Since "Pei Zhao" was too lazy to talk to him, Shen Du simply let him play on his stomach.

Although he doesn't have much experience in raising cats, he has heard of things like cats respecting the elderly, caring for the young, and scratching and biting in the middle.

Returning to his previous life, Shen Du gradually became busy.

Cai Wen's departure did not cause much trouble to Shen Du. On weekdays, his main job was to learn from Shen Du, and occasionally he would help when he needed help.

From the design to the finished product of all the works, Shen Du likes to do it himself, and rarely needs the help of others. For assistants like Cai Wen, Shen Du prefers to let them learn more and accumulate experience, and complete the works by themselves. Instead of doing chores behind him.

So now that there is one less helper, Shen Du doesn't feel too inconvenient.

Although Shen Du himself didn't find it troublesome, Pei Zhao didn't think so.

Ever since the two of them came back from City H, Pei Zhao felt that the number of times Shen Du went to the studio increased. He often got up in the morning and prepared cat food and clean water for him before going out. He didn't see anyone all day until Come back at night, sometimes even late at night.

Every night after Shen Du came home, the first thing he did was to wash his hands, hold the kitten in his arms for a while, and then get scratched a few times by the angry little wild cat.

Even though he was beaten every day, Shen Du still enjoyed it. He felt that he couldn't be with the little guy, and it was lonely and boring to lock him up at home.

Pei Zhao didn't think so, he wished Shen Du would stay in the studio every day and not go home.

"Cub, Dad seems to be a little busy at work recently, and I still can't bear to leave you alone at home, or I'll send you to Uncle Ningzhi's shop to play?"

Shen Du returned home from get off work, hung his coat on the wall, washed his hands before walking to the window sill, and rubbed the kitten's head.

The lazy little cat was dozing off on the sofa, when he heard that Shen Du wanted to send him to Ningzhi, he immediately cheered up and circled around Shen Du's feet excitedly.

"Don't make trouble, I accidentally stepped on you later."

Lifting his foot and lightly kicking Pei Zhao away, Shen Du went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and gulped it down.
