Master, do you touch your tail? [Transmigration Book]

"May I venture to ask why?"

After being silent for a while, Shen Jitang said slowly, "Jianghuai University is very good. It is one of the schools I want to take the exam. It is only because of my brother that I listed Jianghuai University first. But in fact, when I applied for my volunteers, I don't have much confidence, and I was able to pass the test in the end, I think, maybe my brother blessed me in the dark?"

Shen Guantang raised his head, and seriously looked at the young man standing in front of him. He was tall and should be over 1.8 meters by visual estimation. His hair was fluffy and soft, and it was well groomed. He looked fresh and refreshed.Unlike many men, the hair is almost oily.

If you look closely, you can also see a bit of familiarity between the eyebrows and eyes.

Also, after all, they were born to the same pair of parents, so there will naturally be similarities in appearance.

Shen Guantang said warmly, "That is the result of your own hard work, not the blessing of others."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jitang became visibly unhappy.

Shen Guantang was a little helpless, he never thought that his younger brother, whom he had never met, would have such a temper.

What made Shen Guantang even more puzzled was that when he... left, the child hadn't even been born yet, so why... did he become so superstitious?

Moreover, it was indeed his own effort and had nothing to do with him.

However, in the end Shen Guantang apologized, "Sorry, I just didn't understand the situation."

Shen Jitang shook his head, "No, I should be the one who should say sorry."

After finishing speaking, Shen Jitang bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, my tone was not very good just now."

"It's ok."

After receiving Shen Guantang's reply, he didn't stay any longer, but went to greet other guests.

Just when they were chatting just now, the wind chime at the door of the store rang again, and a customer came.

"Sorry." Seeing Shen Jitang walking away, Ruan Yin lowered her voice and said, "Ji Tang didn't do it on purpose."

"It's okay, it's understandable." Shen Guantang wasn't angry at all.

But Ruan Yin still stuffed him and Pei Zhiyu with two more canned cats, "The cats in my store are all as if they have grown up, as long as they hear the sound of opening a can, they will rub against your legs Go, after you have tricked the canned cat food in your hand, it will be difficult to even touch it."

Shen Guantang has long been used to this, and stuffed all the cans in his hand to Pei Zhiyu, "Do you want to try?"

"Okay."

"Then I'll teach you how to drive it, you hook it here, use a little force—"

"Snapped--"

The sound of the cans being opened was not too loud, but the cats in the store had good ears, except for a few who were eating the cans, the rest immediately pricked up their ears when they heard the sound, and quickly ran to the legs of the two people, their heads non-stop. Rubbing back and forth on his legs, he even made a meowing sound, which made people's hearts melt.

Shen Guantang casually picked up a kitten that didn't get the canned food and was extremely clingy, trying to rub against the canned food next to it while barking.

Pei Zhiyu raised his eyebrows, put the canned cat food upside down on the plate, and put it on the table next to him. In an instant, the meowing kitten that was nestled in Shen Guantang's arms quickly rushed out, occupying most of the table, and ate it with a babble. Pick up canned cat food.

For a while, only the sound of the cat licking the food could be heard around the two of them.

Seeing that Shen Guantang's arms were empty, Pei Zhiyu felt very satisfied.

Shen Guantang didn't realize Pei Zhiyu's purpose at first, and he didn't realize until the other party picked up the kitten lazily nestled in his arms after eating the canned cat food.

He just felt annoyed and amused, "What do you care about with the cat?"

This is not the world of cultivating immortals. A cat is a cat, and it will not become a human.

Pei Zhiyu propped his chin, and said lazily, "But I think, compared with people, Furry is more like my rival in love."

Shen Guantang: ...

Moreover, if you really want to care about it, there seems to be nothing wrong with saying this...?

-

In order to "revenge" Pei Zhiyu, they came to this cat cafe again the next day.

Not long after sitting down, a pure white long-haired cat jumped onto Shen Guantang's lap.

It was lying on Shen Guantang's lap, with its head resting on Shen Guantang's arm, looking at him curiously.

Shen Guantang knew this cat, but at that time it was still a small one, looking pitiful.

After so many years, it is still alive, Shen Guantang is also surprised, because this has exceeded the normal lifespan of a cat.

"Yuanyuan is so obedient?" Ruan Yin said in surprise, "It doesn't have such a good temper with strangers, it won't even let you hug it."

Shen Guantang chuckled, "Then it's really my honor that it is willing to lie on my lap."

Ruan Yin circled around Shen Guantang and the cat, "This is really unbelievable. If it wasn't for the right age, I would have thought he was back."

Shen Guantang stroked Yuanyuan's hand for a while.

Pei Zhiyu suddenly reached out and hugged the cat named Yuanyuan into her arms, teased her a few times, but the cat was still very obedient.

Ruan Yin's eyes widened, "I almost thought my eyes were blurred, Yuanyuan, are you still Yuanyuan? Huh?"

Yuanyuan was still obediently lying in Pei Zhiyu's arms, no matter what Ruan Yin did, she would remain indifferent.

Shen Guantang naturally knew what was going on. Although Pei Zhiyu had restrained himself a lot, animals always had an instinctive perception of danger.

In Yuanyuan's perception, Pei Zhiyu was a terrifying monster. Being hugged by such a monster, of course it didn't dare to move.

Shen Guantang glared at Pei Zhiyu quietly, signaling him to be careful.

"Yuanyuan is not young after all, what if you are scared out of her wits?"

Pei Zhiyu responded with his spiritual sense, "Don't worry, Ah Tang, I have a measure."

Knowing that Pei Zhiyu would not lie to him, Shen Guantang was relieved, and he carefully hugged Yuanyuan back.

After returning to Shen Guantang's arms, Yuanyuan also seemed to be relieved, and became more attached to Shen Guantang.

He looked around for a while, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "I don't seem to see Shen Jitang today?"

"Well, he didn't come today."

"Why?" Shen Guantang asked.

Ruan Yin sighed, "Today...is his brother's death day."

Shen Guantang stopped stroking Yuanyuan, he didn't expect that this was the reason.

Hundreds of years have passed, perhaps because he didn't want to recall the day of the car accident again, so Shen Guantang consciously or unintentionally forgot about that time, and never mentioned it again.

However, he did not expect that it would be such a coincidence.

Caught off guard, he was forced to know this day again.

After being silent for a long time, Shen Guantang said slowly, "You seem... to be familiar with both of them?"

Ruan Yin nodded, pulled a chair and sat next to Shen Guantang, she gently touched Yuanyuan's head, and said with some nostalgia, "Yuanyuan was saved by him."

"Really?" Pei Zhiyu asked curiously, "Can you... tell me in detail? If it's inconvenient, forget it."

"It's nothing inconvenient." Ruan Yin's tone was full of pity, "At that time, someone near Jianghuai University maliciously abused cats, and Yuanyuan was rescued by him accidentally. I don’t have time to take care of the kitten, so I have to send it to me temporarily, please ask me to take care of it for a while, and when the job is stable, he will come to pick up Yuanyuan.”

"I didn't refuse, but who would have imagined that he would never come to pick up Yuanyuan again."

Speaking of this, Ruan Yin pinched Yuanyuan's ears again, and said with emotion, "This little guy has a fierce temper. At that time, except for Guantang, no one gave him face. I also raised him for many years. To hold it like this."

"That's why I'm very surprised that it can lie in your arms so obediently."

Ruan Yin sighed, "Maybe... this is fate."

Shen Guantang didn't speak, but lowered his head and gently rubbed Yuanyuan's belly.

The cat opened its eyes, saw that it was Shen Guantang, yawned again, closed its eyes and began to doze off.

"Can you... tell me about that person?" Shen Guantang hesitated, "I... I'm just a little curious, I really want to know, that person who looks exactly like me..."

"I understand." Ruan Yin thought for a while, "Where should I start?"

"As you wish."

"Actually, I don't know much about Guantang's past. He doesn't talk to us about his parents. Most of the time we talk about cats and schoolwork."

"I do know what Ji Tang said." Ruan Yin's voice was distant, as if she had brought them back to the past.

"I also attended his funeral. His parents were very sad and looked very bad. They looked like they were several years old. Aunt even... fainted at the funeral and was rushed to the hospital. Hospital."

Sighing, Ruan Yin said, "I only found out later, because of the excessive grief after the loss of the child, and the fact that the month was too young, my aunt didn't realize that there was already a new life in her body at that time. So, when she was sent to the hospital, she almost had a miscarriage."

"Actually, Ji Tang hasn't had a good time these years. Because he came so coincidentally, it's like..." Ruan Yin's voice gradually became lower, "It's like reincarnation."

"For a pair of parents who have just lost their child, even if they know intellectually that this is a completely different child, they still have to bring it in. They wonder, will it... be their first child and come back gone?"

Shen Guantang's fingers resting on his knees slowly tightened, and suddenly, another hand came in, squeezed into Shen Guantang's palm forcefully, interlocking his fingers, it was Pei Zhiyu.

"A child in Ji Tang's situation, in fact, even if he grows up to hate that brother he has never met, I think...it is easy for people to understand. After all, no one wants to be a substitute."

"But...maybe it's a villain's heart." Ruan Yin suddenly showed a warm smile on her face, "Ji Tang once chatted with me. It turned out that his parents kept his brother's affairs very well. , because of this...even moved away from the original residence. It was only when he was naughty when he was a child, and when he was exploring at home, he found out a box by accident, and only then did he know that he once had an older brother."

"I've never seen that box before. I only heard from Ji Tang that it was all his brother's stuff. It was at that time that he also learned about Jianghuai University."

"On the anniversary of his death, Ji Tang's parents would always find an excuse to go to the cemetery. After he found out, the whole family would go there together at that time every year."

"It's just that after he was admitted to university, his parents asked Ji Tang to go home after vacation, but Ji Tangming agreed on the surface, and always went quietly behind his back."

"I think, for Ji Tang, his brother, whom he has never met, may...become some kind of sustenance for him."

Ruan Yin's voice gradually faded away, but Shen Guantang seemed to be in a certain mood and couldn't get out.

"A Tang?" Pei Zhiyu called him softly.

"Ah?" Shen Guantang shook his head and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was distracted."

Pei Zhiyu just looked at him, and sighed after a while, he took Yuanyuan away, took Shen Guantang's hand, "Let's go."

Shen Guantang got up subconsciously, "Where are you going?"

Pei Zhiyu said softly, "Go where you want to go."

-

Seeing your own tombstone in the cemetery is a bit strange.

It took some effort to get the location of the cemetery, but Pei Zhiyu did not hesitate to use some special means, so after leaving Maoca, the two went straight to their destination.

On the tombstone, Shen Guantang in the photo looks a little silent. He doesn't seem to be used to taking pictures, and he always looks a little unnatural when looking at the camera.

Pei Zhiyu squatted down and gently traced Shen Guantang's eyebrows and eyes in the photo on the tombstone.

Shen Guantang put down a large bouquet of chrysanthemums in his arms, and stood side by side with Pei Zhiyu, "The feeling of presenting flowers to myself is really indescribable."

Pei Zhiyu put his arm around Shen Guantang's shoulder, didn't say much, just accompanied him silently.

At some point in the sky, fine raindrops had already floated up.

The white chrysanthemum was soaked by the rain, water droplets slowly condensed on the petals, and then slowly fell, like silent tears.

Pei Zhiyu looked up at the sky, hesitated for a moment, but still did not block the falling rain, allowing the fine rain to gradually soak the clothes of the two of them.

As the cold wind blew by, Shen Guantang unexpectedly felt a bit of coolness.

Since practicing, he has not felt sick for a long time.

However, with just a shiver, his whole body was enveloped in a broad chest, with a jacket stretched over his head, and a deep voice rang in his ears, "A Tang, someone is coming."

It's time for us to leave.

Shen Guantang's eyelashes trembled slightly, he closed his eyes, and gave a soft "hmm".

Pei Zhiyu put his arms around Shen Guantang's shoulders with one hand, supported the clothes on top of his head with the other, and the two walked in opposite directions.

After walking a certain distance, Shen Guantang seemed to feel something, he turned around and looked at his tombstone.

There, at some point, two elderly people stood there.

They supported each other, stood under the same black umbrella, and stood there quietly without moving for a long time.

I don't know if he noticed Shen Guantang's gaze, but the woman whose temple hair was stained with hoarfrost looked over from afar.

The next moment, the man also turned his head.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ci'an asked in a low voice.

Gu Yan was silent, and after a while, she shook her head, "It's nothing."

Withdrawing her gaze, she looked at the shy smiling young man on the tombstone, and suddenly murmured, "Just now... I really wanted to see Tangtang."

Hearing this, Shen Ci'an sighed softly, didn't say much, just patted his wife's shoulder lightly, "It's probably because you are blinded and mistook other young people for him."

Gu Yan said in an erratic tone, "Probably so."

-

"They look, a lot older."

Shen Guantang said in a low voice.

The distance was too far, Shen Ci'an and Gu Yan couldn't see Shen Guantang's appearance, but to Shen Guantang, they could clearly see every wrinkle on their faces.

Pei Zhiyu gently caged Shen Guantang, and said in a soft voice, "Are you really not going there?"

This time, Shen Guantang was silent for a long time.

It wasn't until Shen Ci'an and Gu Yan supported each other to leave that he let out a breath slowly.

It was also at this time that he realized that just now, he actually forgot to breathe.

"No." Shen Guantang vented his strength, leaned back on Pei Zhiyu's body, and let the other side support his body.

"Since I'm not going to stop here, there's no need to give them hope. That would be cruel."

Whether it is acquaintance, or purely as a stranger who looks very similar.

Pei Zhiyu groped and grabbed Shen Guantang's hand, interlocking his fingers, "Ah Tang, if you want, we can stay..."

Pei Zhiyu said slowly, "Don't worry about me, for me, where you are is my hometown."

With a movement of Shen Guantang's body, he turned sideways in Pei Zhiyu's arms, raised his other hand, and gently stroked Pei Zhiyu's cheek.

After a long time, he sighed, "Thank you, Yu."

"But..." Shen Guantang paused for a long time, and leaned his head on Pei Zhiyu's shoulder, "I can't let go."

"Since, in this world, Shen Guantang is already dead, let him... completely disappear in this world."

In the end, Shen Guantang said a little tiredly, "I'm even a little thankful that the dead ending made my choice... easier to do."

Pei Zhiyu hugged him tightly in distress.

Is it easy?

He felt that it was not easy at all.

He couldn't help asking, "Ah Tang, do you already...don't care about how they hurt you before?"

Shen Guantang closed his eyes and murmured, "The hurt is real, and so is the love."

While loving, while hurting.

So contradictory and so common.

Shen Guantang will not be the only one, nor will he be the last one.

Even though fate had already made a choice for him, Shen Guantang still felt very uncomfortable when he really made this decision by himself.

"He's here." Pei Zhiyu wiped the corner of Shen Guantang's eyes with his thumb, and said in a low voice, "Your brother."

Shen Guantang opened his eyes.

It was getting dark, but the rain didn't stop.

Shen Jitang didn't open an umbrella, and he was a little surprised when he saw the two bouquets of flowers in front of the tombstone.

In the past, when he arrived, there would always be a bouquet of chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone. He knew that it was his parents who put it here.

But today, why is there another handful?

Who is it?

Shen Jitang was a little confused.

He put down the flowers in his hand and looked at the young man on the tombstone.

Perhaps it should be thanks to various modern technologies. Although Shen Guantang has never been seen, Shen Jitang has seen him in various photos and videos.

"In a few years, when I graduate, I will be as old as you, brother." Shen Jitang grinned.

Shen Guantang: ...

He also didn't expect that when Shen Jitang saw his... tombstone, this was the first thing he said.

simply……

"Brother, I saw a person who looks very much like you today. If I hadn't confirmed that you had left, I would have thought you were back." Shen Jitang's voice gradually became low.

"I observed secretly. He really looks like you, even some of his habitual movements are similar to you. Tell me, how can there be two people who are so similar in this world?"

"However, Sister Ruan said that she saw you leave with her own eyes, as well as your parents. How could they... be unsure about the death of their own son?"

"Although I really hope that you can come back, but... I also know that it's just my fantasy. People can't be resurrected after death, let alone..."

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you in secret, brother, back then, your heart saved a girl, and she seemed to be admitted to Jianghuai University, but she seems to be graduating soon."

Shen Jitang was talking nonsense, but when he mentioned the girl, he paused, "Actually, I know this is not good, but when I knew she was also at Jianghuai University, I still went to see her secretly."

"It turned out to be almost regarded as a stalker. Fortunately, the explanation was clear in the end." Having said this, Shen Jitang scratched his head, "I wanted to know where the other organs went, but... the hospital said to Keeping it a secret, she has been refusing to tell us, and that senior sister only confirmed it by coincidence."

"It's been so many years, and I've come here whenever I have a conflict with my parents. You don't think I'm annoying, do you?" Shen Jitang frowned as if remembering something, "My parents' desire to control is too strong. Knowing how you endured it at that time, who can you talk to when you are so angry?"

After being silent for a while, Shen Jitang sighed again, "Brother, I have actually read your diary, and my parents must have read it too. I guess it's because they have read it, so at first they guessed that your diary was hidden from me. Exist, don't want me to think I'm a substitute."

"Brother, I seem to be... always protected by you invisibly." Shen Jitang simply sat cross-legged on the ground, propped his chin, and looked into the distance with confusion, "But I will never see each other again."

-

Shen Guantang leaned in Pei Zhiyu's arms, he tried to recall his childhood, "Have I ever written a diary? Why don't I remember it?"

"Also, organ donation is a double-blind principle. It is a coincidence to know one. You know all of them, unless you hack other people's computers."

"It's nice not to be living in my shadow."

Shen Guantang responded softly to his words, "In fact, we have met, but you don't know."

-

"Jingle Bell--"

The wind chime at the door rang again.

"Welcome -" Shen Jitang opened his eyes suddenly, "Is that you?"

His eyes turned around on Shen Guantang's hair, "Your hair?"

Shen Guantang shook the camera in his hand, and seeing that Ruan Yin was not there, he confidently pushed all the reasons on her.

"I heard from Ruan Yin that you have always regretted not being able to see your brother with your own eyes."

"Although I can't fulfill your wish, but... I can send you a photo."

With that said, Shen Guantang handed the camera to Pei Zhiyu, and said to Shen Jitang, "Excuse me, can I take a photo with you? I want to keep it as a souvenir."

Shen Jitang's lips parted slightly, almost speechless.

Pei Zhiyu raised his camera.

Before Shen Jitang could recover, Shen Guantang took his arm, "Look at the camera."

"Meow--"

Yuanyuan on the side just moved closer, and a cat's head suddenly appeared in the photo.

After printing out the photo, Shen Guantang took a serious look at Shen Jitang, "Goodbye, brother."

-

After leaving the cat cafe, Shen Guantang raised his hand to cover the harsh sunlight, the sky was blue, as if washed by water.

"There is one last thing left." Shen Guantang murmured.

"What?" Pei Zhiyu bent down slightly, as if he didn't hear clearly.

There was a smile in Shen Guantang's eyes, "It's a secret, you'll find out in the evening."

at night?

Pei Zhiyu suddenly became curious, "What's the matter, you have to wait until night?"

"It's been said as a secret, so it must be done at night." Shen Guantang deliberately kept it a secret.

"I'm looking forward to it." The corners of Pei Zhiyu's lips curled up, "But...if I'm not satisfied, I'll...ask Atang for it myself."

Shen Guantang laughed, "Okay."

As the night was getting darker, Shen Guantang held Pei Zhiyu's hand, and the two walked on the forest path.

Because it is far away from the city, the stars in the sky are brighter when viewed from here.

Walking slowly to the top of the mountain, Shen Guantang and Pei Zhiyu stood side by side. In the distance, there was a brightly lit city. Nearby, there was this small hill, which looked ordinary. Pei Zhiyu didn't even know why Shen Guantang brought him Did you come here by yourself for that secret?

but……

Pei Zhiyu looked around, but still couldn't figure out what Shen Guantang's secret was.

"Ayu, look there."

Looking in the direction Shen Guantang pointed out, the next moment, the sky was covered with fireworks.

Pei Zhiyu's eyes trembled, and before he could be delighted by the fireworks covering half of the sky, the next moment, Shen Guantang in front of him suddenly knelt down on one knee, and between his fingers was a silver ring.

"Mr. Pei Zhiyu, may I ask, are you willing to be my partner, and from now on, we will be together forever?"

Pei Zhiyu's Adam's apple rolled, and after a while, he said, "Of course I am willing."

The fireworks were brilliant, illuminating Shen Guantang's smiling eyes.

He grabbed Pei Zhiyu's hand and slowly put the ring on his ring finger.

Then, Pei Zhiyu also knelt down on one knee and put another ring on Shen Guantang.

Pei Zhiyu looked into Shen Guantang's eyes, as if he could never see enough.

Shen Guantang chuckled, held Pei Zhiyu's hand, and in the next moment, he leaned forward and kissed his lips.
