"Painting the Soul" side story "Jinhua Cat" (II)

Since then, I've really stayed with him and become a cat that belongs to him alone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI've never been like other cats who can't get back in the wild if they don't go out a few laps a day. I stayed by his side every day, watching him paint and drink tea, watching him go to and from work, watching him cook and sleep. I couldn't pull my eyes out of him for a moment, and I thought that I must have owed him a lot in my previous life, so I couldn't let him go in this life.

He often held me in his arms and rubbed his face against the back of my furry neck, "Ami, you are really different from other cats, sometimes I almost feel that your cat's shell lives a person's soul." ”

"Whether I'm human or not, I'll always be the one who loves you the most." I yelled at him, but it was a meowy meow. I sighed, he always just thought of me as a "cat", but it was fine, at least I could be coquettish in his arms without any scruples, and I could look intently at his slender fingers as he painted, without feeling embarrassed.

Time passed through his fingers little by little, and one day, when he came back from work, he gently hugged me in his arms, "Ami, I was admitted to a school as a teacher, and we will move there in a few days, but I applied to the principal for a house on the first floor, that house has a small yard, you should like it." I thoughtfully rubbed it in his arms, but thought in my heart: It has nothing to do with me whether there is a courtyard or not, as long as I can stay by your side all the time.

After moving to Aoki Art Academy, life is still as simple and comfortable as ever. There is only one difference, and that is that the number of people who come to visit the house is gradually increasing. They often come in groups, sit on the sofa at home and drink tea, first praise his outstanding artistic talent, and then talk and talk, and detour the topic to the ultimate goal of "blind date". I looked at him with an embarrassed expression, he had already sharpened a pair of claws, and then took advantage of their unpreparedness to suddenly jump on the coffee table and knock over a few cups.

"Ami, you don't like it either, do you?" After they left, he patted me on the head helplessly, "That's why you used this method to drive them away." ”

"Meow." I let out a soft cry and rubbed against his knee.

He picked me up and looked at the slowly setting sun outside the window, "I also hate this way, how can such a thing as love be produced in such a deliberate environment?" But they are all so-called leaders, and they should care about the marriage of my unmarried subordinate, how can I refuse, fortunately, you have solved the siege. ”

This was the first time he mentioned "love" to me, and I looked at him with wide eyes, and suddenly felt a little weak, he didn't know that the reason why I could always be with him was caused by my "deliberateness".

After that, girls began to come to his house, and he sometimes went out with them. I know that this is his "last resort", but every time I am alone in an empty room, I feel the word that human beings use to describe heartbreak, what is it called, liver and intestines?

Until one day, he left home again with a girl who came to "consult" him. I leaned on the window and hoped that he would come back soon, and the moon was round that day, like hanging in the treetops. I looked at it and finally opened the window with my paw and walked out. When I got to the top of the building, I looked at the silver platter like a full moon, and suddenly a tear escaped from my eye. Then, my body slowly stood upright, and the layer of snow-white fluff that he loved the most slowly fell off, replaced by a cloud of black hair.

I think that the world must have never seen such a Jinhua cat, it turned into a human form not to absorb the essence of human beings, but for a man, a man it wants to accompany all the time.

I leaned against the gate of the courtyard and watched him slowly walk into my sight, and I suddenly felt a little nervous, afraid that he would not like the way he looked now.

"You are?" He looked at my face in surprise.

"I'm Ah ......" I almost blurted out, but I immediately stopped my mouth, telling him so recklessly that he wouldn't believe it, "I am...... I'm here to ask you about drawing. ”

That night, we sat in his room all night and chatted, of course, the conversation was not about painting, we talked from Tiannan to Haibei, as if there was endless words. I know the source of everything he says, of course, and I know everything about him. As it was almost dawn, I got up to say goodbye, for my human shell was about to change back. The sparkle in his eyes suddenly disappeared, "You haven't told me your name yet?" ”

"I'll come again, I'll tell you next time." I smiled slyly at him and gave him a thought so that he would be even more infatuated with me.

When I happily turned into Ami and returned home, he was sitting on the chair in a daze, and after seeing me, he squatted down, "Ami, I take back what I said to you a few days ago, it turns out that sometimes deliberate encounters can have a happy ending, you know?" I feel like I'm in love with a woman. ”

"I know, I know." I shouted over and over again in my heart because she was me, do you know how long I waited for this?

The next day, I ran to the roof of the building as usual and inhaled deeply at the moon. Sure enough, just like last time, I slowly turned into a human again, but, wait, why was last night's long thick hair gone, replaced by a pretty short hair? I took a picture at the glass, and my face was different from last night, and I was a different woman. No, no, I stumbled downstairs, my heart jumped suddenly, it turned out that Jinhua cat turned into a completely different person every time?

I trembled and knocked on the door of his house, reassuring myself in my heart, "It's okay, even if he doesn't recognize me, I can still talk to him, and I can still make him fall in love with me again." ”

He opened the door, "I ......" I was about to speak, but he interrupted me.

"I don't care who introduced you, but please tell the introducer, I appreciate her kindness, but now I already have someone I like."

I looked at the closed door and felt a wave of despair that I had never felt before.

Since then, he has been waiting for her in front of the door day after day, no, waiting for me, waiting for the first time I have conjured up. He even put down his high school and went to his colleagues in his department one by one to ask them about the girl.

"It's me, it's me." I looked him in the eye countless times, trying to make him see some shadow in it, but he always ignored my expectant eyes, and grew haggard day by day. One day, he came out of the studio after three days of seclusion, and when he came out, he had a portrait in his hand - the girl I had transformed.

"Ami, you say, doesn't she like me, that's why she never showed up again." He looked at me with despair in his eyes.

My heart was broken, so every night I would run to the roof of the building, and I would transform into human form again and again, each of them more coquettish, each more intoxicating than the other, but none of them were her.

Finally, one day, I got tired, and I left the house I had sworn I would never leave, without even looking at him again.

One day long after, I was lying on the original brick wall, watching the magnolia flowers slowly fall from mid-air. Yuan stood under the wall and whispered to me, it was already a very old cat, and the old one couldn't even jump off the wall.

"Ami," its voice was old, "aren't you going to see him?" He's sick, and he's probably dying. ”

I rushed back to the house like crazy, but I still didn't have time to see him for the last time, and through the window I saw that all the furniture in the house was covered with a white cloth, and only his most cherished paintings were piled up beside them.

One of the people in the room picked up the top painting, which was a portrait of a woman, "Why did he put a magnolia in this woman's hair when he was dying?" ”

"Who knows, he's always been weird, or he won't have been married."

Through the window, I looked at the woman's face, and on her cloudy black hair was pinned a crystal clear magnolia flower.

"Ami, you're so pretty, prettier than any cat I've ever seen."
