Strange Life of a Cat

If I remember correctly, Sesame is the spotted cat that Li Yuanba gave birth to this summer.

Xiao Guo was shut out by a cat?

Zheng Tan walked in and went straight to Xiao Guo's lounge.

Xiao Guo was standing at the door of the lounge, beating on the door, and twisting the lock handle twice. Obviously, he was really locked out.

Xiao Guo's lounge is equipped with handle locks. For cats, this kind of lock is easier to operate, and it is easier to twist than the ball lock.

The door is locked, but where's the key?

Zheng Tan looked at Xiao Guo yelling there, while several staff members around him laughed and talked in a low voice, not surprised by such a situation.

The boss has been locked out by Zhima again.

Since Zhima shut the boss out for the first time when he was three months old, there have always been several times a month. I'm used to it.

Zhima was born in mid-June, and now it's mid-December. Counting, Zhima is already half a year old. Zheng Tan can't help feeling how fast this time flies.

While Zheng Tan was thinking about how that kid Zhima is doing now, he heard someone from the studio say: Our boss likes this tune. He obviously has a key, so he can open it even if it's locked inside, but he doesn't need a key to open the door.

That was playing with sesame seeds. There are so many cats in the store, and the boss likes sesame seeds the most. Don't look at the current yelling and refusing to serve the food. As soon as you order sesame seeds for the meal, the boss will rush to cook. Cat food. No food for three days, huh—

However, Zhima is also teasing the boss. That little guy is very smart. If the boss is really angry, he won't play like that.

The employees of the studio have already analyzed Xiao Guo thoroughly, and they can predict his reaction and next actions.

Zheng Tan really wanted to say something: Boss Guo, when you named Zhima this name, did you anticipate what would happen today?

Xiao Guo was calling for the door. He heard the conversation here and looked over. Seeing Zheng Tan and Papa Jiao, he blushed and felt that he had lost face. He coughed and came over to say hello.

Heitan is here, Professor Jiao, I put your bag in the lounge, are you in a hurry to get it? Xiao Guo looked at Papa Jiao.

No rush. ​​Dad Jiao is also interested in the current situation. He hasn't seen what Sesame looks like. Now that the yard is busy, he rarely comes to the pet center. Charlie often goes to pick up the cats.

After waiting for five minutes, it was probably because Zhima inside saw that there was no movement at the door, so he tried to call twice, but no one answered, so he opened the door.

The half-year-old Sesame is about the same size as Zheng Tan. Judging by the size of Peanut Candy and Big Rice, this guy is even longer, maybe even bigger than Peanut Candy.

Long-haired, spotted, and odd-looking.

Papa Jiao took a closer look at Zhima with great interest.

For the stranger Jiao Pa, Zhima was a little wary, but because it was on its own territory and Xiao Guo was beside it, it didn't show any aggressiveness.

Everyone in the studio knows that this guy usually seems to play well with people and animals, but his fighting power is definitely not weak. This guy was once taken out by Peanut Candy to fight with an adult cat. He won without any injuries. But Xiao Guo was lucky that it was night and no one saw Zhima, otherwise he would cause trouble again. Since then, Xiao Guo has been closely watched, and Zhima wants to play the game Open Sesame, Xiao Guo also plays with him.

However, unlike Peanut Tang, who always likes to go out and pick places, Zhima doesn't seem to like going out, and sometimes doesn't go out with the back door open. The studio is usually full of acquaintances, and Zhima only makes trouble in this area. Sometimes Xiao Guo wondered if Zhima knew that his hair color would cause trouble, so he didn't go out.

Sesame, who always stays indoors and mixes with people in the studio, seems to be more refined than peanut candy, and he learns things quickly, especially unlocking doors, which can take a long time to play.

Although Jiao Jiao's father is vigilant, Zhima still has some memories of Zheng Tan, and there are some things that belong to Zheng Tan here, and the smell can tell it is not unfamiliar.

After leaving for a while, I came back and found that some things had changed a lot.

At that time, Xia Tian was just a little kitten, but now he has grown so big.

When Xiao Yuzi returned to the compound from the pet center, Jiao’s mother had already prepared the meal. Xiao Youzi was very happy to see Zheng Tan, and when Xiao Youzi was doing homework, Zheng Tan accompanied Jiao’s mother on the sofa to watch TV and listened to Jiao’s mother nagging , Mother Jiao always likes this.

It turned out that some time ago, Xiaoyuzi's mother came again because of domestic business. I don't know if she changed her mind. She wanted to take Xiaoyouzi back to her home on the other side of the ocean for Christmas, but Xiaoyuzi refused.

Yuzu's mother bought a pomelo for her, but the pomelo was useless and left alone. Later, when Jiao's mother took Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi out for shopping one weekend, she bought a mobile phone for each of the two children. Now many students have mobile phones in their hands, and now that Xiaoyouzi is at school, Jiao's mother can't take care of them. , Even if I entrust other teachers to take care of me, I am still worried, so I have a mobile phone, which is convenient for contacting.

But the pomelo her mother bought is too eye-catching, and she can't underestimate the narrow-mindedness of middle school students. Jiao's mother has seen many things in the past few years as a teacher, and she doesn't approve of students getting such an expensive mobile phone. When buying a mobile phone, Mother Jiao naturally asked Xiaoyouzi for her opinion. Xiaoyouzi chose a phone with a value of less than 1,000 yuan, which was about the same price as some people in the class. The pocket money in my hand can also be bought, but I didn't choose.

With the mobile phone, Xiaoyouzi called her mother to let her know that her mother spoke very well at the time and kept in touch frequently, but she hasn't called again until now. Xiaoyuzi didn't take the initiative to fight, but her mood was somewhat affected.

When Jiao's mother called Charlie, she thought that Zheng Tan would come back soon, and that she would be able to spend more time with Xiaoyouzi every day. I heard that children will not look gloomy when they are with animals. Now it is puberty, and children in this period tend to think too much , So Mother Jiao is worried, and that's why Zheng Tan feels something is wrong when he hears Mother Jiao's voice.

Now that he knows the reason, Zheng Tan will naturally spend more time with Xiaoyouzi. He even went to the junior high school to find out the situation. Xiaoyuzi is the same as when he was at home, and he can laugh. There are familiar friends around, and Xiaojiu is covering , there will be no trouble.

But sometimes Xiaoyouzi will be in a daze, especially when she hears the word Christmas.

The students always have a sense of novelty about foreign festivals, and feel that Christmas is also a big festival in foreign countries, so the frequency of mentioning it is naturally high, which makes Xiaoyouzi more often in a daze. After finishing her homework at home, Xiaoyouzi would also be in a daze. When she was in a daze, she would unconsciously turn the phone in her hand.

One day, Zheng Tan charged the phone battery and finally turned on the phone that he hadn't opened for a long time.

After turning on the phone, there were still text messages and various reminders. Zheng Tan roughly scanned it, then edited a text message and sent it to the number he memorized.

When class was over, Xiaoyuzi looked at the mobile phone that had a text message notification, and found that it was an unfamiliar number. She originally planned to delete it directly, but after thinking about it, she clicked on it.

Article 1:

Don't be in a daze, or if you fail the final exam, the New Year's money will be halved.

Article 2:

We don't believe in religion, and we don't care about foreign festivals like Christmas.

Xiaoyouzi was very puzzled. From these two text messages, it could be seen that the person who sent the text messages knew her very well, and she might even know the reason for her daze. She didn't even tell Xie Xin and the others that they were having a good time. How did this person know? !

So Xiaoyouzi edited a text message to reply: Who are you?

Soon, a text message was sent over there: My name is Zheng Tan.

Xiaoyouzi still wanted to ask more questions, but the bell rang for class, so she could only put her phone in her schoolbag first. I sent a text message after class, but there was no reply.

This kind of doubt continued until she went home. She also asked Xie Xin's classmates who went home together if they recognized this number, but no one knew.

Heitan, who do you think this person is? Xiaoyuzi finished writing a set of test papers, laying down on the desk, and placed the mobile phone on the table, turning it with the movements of her fingers.

Zheng Tan, who was squatting next to him, shook his beard: I know, but I just won't say it.

Since then, Zheng Tan and Xiaoyuzi have also sent text messages a few times, but thinking about the final exam, it is better not to distract her.

In the following time, Xiao Youzi was sometimes in a daze, but it wasn't necessarily because of her mother's affairs, and her mood improved a lot. When talking to Zheng Tan, Zheng Tan could clearly feel that this child should be thinking about her mother's affairs. pass.

On this day, Zheng Tan went out for a walk after dinner, wondering if he should send another text message to Xiaoyouzi for fun, looked up and sighed, saw the night sky, paused, and then quickly ran to the place where the phone was hidden, from an inconspicuous He took out his mobile phone from a small tree hole in a tree in the forest, and suddenly remembered that he was not wearing a vest, but it was not good to go back now, so Zheng Tan just ran away with his mobile phone on both feet, fortunately it was night.

She kept a secret all the way, and then got in through the side door of the compound that had been locked all the time, and hid in the bushes to send text messages to Xiaoyouzi.

Xiaoyouzi, who was writing a simulation question, heard the vibration of the text message on her phone, glanced at the number, put down her pen, picked it up, and clicked to read it.

After seeing the contents of the text message, Xiaoyuzi frowned suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, then took the scarf around her, talked to Jiao Ma and went downstairs.

Just arrived downstairs, before she sent a text message to ask, another text message came.

Go right, turn at the first fork, and go straight to the lawn.

Xiaoyouzi followed the instructions on the text message. This place is in the compound, so safety can be guaranteed. If she said she wanted to go out, she would not follow through. It is impossible for her to run around alone at night.

When I came to the lawn of the compound, there were street lights around the lawn, which could only illuminate the road next to the lawn, and this little light could allow Xiaoyuzi to roughly see the surrounding scene.

She didn't see anyone.

At this time, another text message came.

Turn left thirty degrees and look up at the sky.

Little Yuzu turned to the left, then raised her head.

Although the air quality in Chuhua City is not good, and sometimes you can't see the stars at night, as if separated by a layer of fog, but at this moment, the two bright spots and the crooked moon are quite conspicuous in the dark night sky background, making people One cannot ignore.

That's a smiley face.

Astronomical wonders, double stars with the moon.

The smiling faces of Venus, Jupiter and the moon, the three brightest stars in the night sky.

Little Yuzi stared blankly at the big smiling face in the sky, and after staying there for half a minute, she couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

He took a long breath, as if he wanted to let out all the depression in his heart, then smiled again, looked down at the phone, and pressed the dial button.

A cheerful call sounded in the bushes. The sound is quite loud.

Zheng Tan: ...

Fuck!

Why is the ringtone off? ! Isn't it on mute?

Without waiting for Xiaoyuzi's response, Zheng Tan pressed the reject button and ran away with the phone in his arms.

By the time Zheng Tan came back to his senses, he had already run to the old Wafang District, gasping for breath, thinking about hiding the phone here today, and going back quickly to see Xiaoyouzi's reaction.

Hiding the phone in the place where it was hidden before, Zheng Tan turned around and ran towards the courtyard. After running for two steps, Zheng Tan suddenly stopped and looked around. It was still dark, there were no street lights, and it was very quiet. He shook his head , Zheng Tan continued to run towards the compound.

After Zheng Tan left, behind a two-meter-high bush next to a tile-roofed house, the light on the phone screen brightened, then quickly dimmed again, and someone pressed the phone to standby.

Crack!

The flame of the lighter came on, and then the red light of the cigarette butt flickered.

When the flame of the lighter is extinguished, in the quiet old Wafang District, in the darkness, the flame of the cigarette butt flickers brightly and darkly with the cold wind of the winter night.

To clarify, the real time of the twin stars and the moon involved in this chapter is actually December 1, 2008. Please do not take the time deviation in the article seriously. Speaking of which, Chen Ci was still in college at that time, and it has been a long time since I thought about it.
