Chapter Twenty-Eight: Cold

It is said that curiosity kills cats, and Chu Sheng now understands this meaning completely.

Lying in his milk crate, Chu Sheng's sleeping position has changed I don't know how many. From lying on his side at the beginning, to curling up later, from his back up at the beginning, to lying on his stomach later, turning over and over, no matter how he tossed, Chu Sheng just couldn't sleep, and when he closed his eyes, his mind was full of raccoon cats. And the cat nest that has never been touched by anyone has always felt weird when I sleep today.

This is the first time that Chu Sheng has suffered from insomnia since he became a cat, even in the first few miserable days, this situation has never occurred.

After tossing and turning for a night, Chu Sheng finally couldn't bear it anymore when it was dark, and fell asleep in a daze.

In the past, when he slept, out of the nature of cats, Chu Sheng would not completely sleep to death. This kind of vigilance, which is rooted in the blood, will not be changed at all just because Chu Sheng was once a person. Fake sleep, also known as napping, is the easiest state for Chu Sheng to enter. In this state, as long as there is movement around, Chu Sheng can always wake up as soon as possible.

But today, Chu Sheng really overslept. By the time Chu Sheng woke up and got out of the milk crate with his dizzy head, the garage door had been locked, and Ma Xiaofu and Fang Fang didn't know when they would leave.

Above the sky, some of the suns, slightly to the southeast, poured out their own light and heat without reservation. There was a bright spot on the ground, and the milk crate that had just come out of the darkness was about to touch this bright light, Chu Sheng suddenly felt that his eyes were very uncomfortable, and he hurriedly closed them.

After easing the stinging sensation in his eyes and the dizziness in his mind a little, Chu Sheng walked listlessly to his cat bowl.

Although Ma Xiaofu went to work, fortunately, the goat's milk was still ready for breakfast. Because Chu was born too late, today's goat milk has long lost a trace of temperature.

A gentle breeze came, and the heat wave that enveloped the ground slowly and continuously blew on Chu Sheng's cat's face.

The spring breeze, which should have been very warm, turned out to be very hot today. Chu Sheng only took a sip, and then he felt that he was about to suffocate, his nose was dry, and there was even a hint of chapping.

A few breaths of hot air were exhaled into his body, and Chu Sheng felt that the whole throat was sticking together, and it was like a small flame burning in his body.

"Why is it so hot today, is summer coming early......" Chu Sheng muttered in his heart.

"Sneeze"

Chu Sheng couldn't help but close his eyes and shake his head and sneezed, and a buzzing sound suddenly sounded in his head.

"Well, it's probably bad now, it looks like I really got hit last night..... It's bad luck....."

Chu Sheng shook his head, and after sobering himself up, he lowered his head and licked a few mouthfuls of goat's milk, moistening his throat.

"You have to moisten your nose, or you'll burn your throat if you gasp. ”

After making up his mind, Chu Sheng lay on the ground, relying on the joint efforts of his two paws, without knocking over the goat's milk, tilted the cat bowl a little and poured out the goat's milk inside.

Chu Sheng dipped his paws in the goat's milk on the ground a few times, and gently wiped the water on the bridge of his nose.

Do all this, Chu Sheng took a greedy breath. The rapid passage of the air flow made the water on the tip of Chu Sheng's nose evaporate quickly. The hot air became much softer under the physical action of evaporation and heat absorption, the original feeling of suffocation disappeared, and Chu Sheng felt that the air entering his lungs still had a trace of coolness.

I don't know if it's a mental effect, and after moistening his nose a few times, Chu Sheng felt that his spirit was much better than when he first woke up.

The nose was comfortable, and Chu Sheng forced himself to drink the goat's milk in the bowl again, after all, if you are sick, the burden on your body will be a lot greater, and these nutrients are very important. Returning to his nest, Chu Sheng continued to sleep.

"Didi-"

Ma Xiaofu, who was returning home at noon, rang the bell of his tricycle twice as he was about to stop. In the past, after Ma Xiaofu did this, his oranges would come out to greet him. Today, however, the familiar little figure did not appear.

"Isn't Tangerine at home?"

After waiting for the car to stop at the door, Ma Xiaofu stepped on the foot brake, and got out of the car with some confusion and walked to the milk crate.

Pulling the hole in the milk crate a little out with his hand, the little man fell to the ground.

Chu Sheng woke up as soon as Ma Xiaofu rang the bell, but he was really uncomfortable and didn't want to move. Now feeling the vibration of the milk crate, Chu Sheng hurriedly cheered up and opened his eyes. Looking at each other, Chu Sheng happened to look at Ma Xiaofu, who was tilting his head and looking into the box.

Knowing that Ma Xiaofu stayed for a short time at noon and would continue to work in the afternoon, in order to avoid causing unnecessary worries to the other party, Chu Sheng tried his best to call softly with his usual appearance, which was regarded as greeting Ma Xiaofu.

"The little guy is so sleepy, I don't come out to say hello when I go home, I think you're gone. I'll make you goat's milk right now. ”

Although Ma Xiaofu felt that Chu Sheng was not in good spirits today, he was not a professional after all. Coupled with Chu Sheng's deliberate cover-up, Ma Xiaofu simply thought that his oranges were hungry.

Standing up with the cat bowl and opening the iron door with the key, Ma Xiaofu gently pushed the box back with his toes.

Two spoonfuls of goat milk powder, suitable warm water, stir carefully. Familiar steps, familiar tastes. Ma Xiaofu came to the door with the prepared goat's milk and put it on the ground.

"Knock Knock"

Ma Xiaofu tapped the milk crate lightly.

Chu Sheng knew that this was Ma Xiaofu reminding him that he had started eating, so he hurriedly got up and got out of the hole, squinted his eyes and licked it unconsciously. Ma Xiaofu touched Chu Sheng's head, then turned around and pulled the plug row to charge his tricycle.

After doing all this, Ma Xiaofu returned to the house and opened the boxed lunch he bought and ate it. Within ten minutes, Ma Xiaofu had settled the battle.

Lying on the bed for a while, and when the alarm went off, Ma Xiaofu got up and washed his face with cold water, cleaned up his things, and locked the garage door.

Chu Sheng had a very poor appetite because he was sick, and after forcing himself to drink a bowl of goat's milk in the morning, it was already considered the limit. So this meal of goat's milk, Chu Sheng just pretended to lick a few sips when he first started drinking, and when Ma Xiaofu returned to the house, Chu Sheng also went back to the nest.

When Ma Xiaofu went out, he naturally saw that the goat milk in the cat's bowl had not decreased much, but he didn't think much about it, after all, he would feel tired of eating a kind of food all the time.

"Wait until you get off work, see if there are any small cans of other flavors of goat milk powder, and see if you can change the flavor of oranges. ”

"Didi"

After putting on his helmet, Ma Xiaofu rang the bell twice to signal Chu Sheng to set off by himself.

Chu Sheng curled up in the nest, his right paw shook slightly, and said goodbye to Ma Xiaofu.
