The so-called instinct is a special behavior pattern that is not learned or inherited by living beings.

Just as oviparous animals will eat eggshells after hatching, and mammals will automatically ask their mothers for food after birth, there are many similar contents written into the gene chain like a permanent magic array, some of which are even more incredible and inexplicable, but according to the theory of "existence is reasonable", behind any kind of instinctive behavior, there is probably a deep, unknown meaning.

"So! It's not the mess you said! ”

The cat, who is still stubbornly resisting in the cardboard box, directly interrupts the boyfriend's analysis process of trying to explain the current phenomenon from a scientific point of view.

"It's a magical cardboard box! Yes! It must be that! ”

“…… So you're telling me that after you became a cat, the second major plot turning point in this story is this cardboard box? ”

Hao Qi looked at his cat girlfriend with a little headache and wanted to convince himself of this nonsense.

"Then why didn't I even have the idea of getting into this carton when I was facing it?"

"Meow?"

The girlfriend looked at Hao Qi in disbelief.

"No feeling at all?! Don't you hear the call from the depths of your soul? ”

"Wake up Miaomiao, this is not Azeroth, and you are not King Meow......"

"Humph! Too lazy to tell you about ......"

The cat girlfriend continued to scratch the wall of the cardboard box excitedly.

"I see...... It must be because you're just a human and you can't hear the call - yes! This cardboard box is actually a gateway to another world, and I, the great beautiful girl Natsu Miao, am the one who was chosen to be the savior of this world! ”

“…… Give me my own brains before you save the world! The Battle of the Century in 1999 does not exist! ”

In the end, Hao Qi, who couldn't bear it anymore, had to take coercive measures again and forcibly hugged his cat girlfriend who was lying in the cardboard box and didn't plan to come out at all.

"What are you doing, Hao Qi! Don't you want to go to another world with others to be powerful? ”

The cat, writhing in dissatisfaction, tries to get her boyfriend to approve of her judgment.

"What do you see inside this cardboard box? That's a big piece of land that this palace has laid for you! ”

So in the final analysis, your country is only the size of a cardboard box!

Although for a moment, I also wanted to believe that what she said according to the premise of "girlfriend becomes a cat" is another magical reality, but in fact, the "do not invert" and "handle carefully" signs on the carton, as well as the courier bill and tape that have not been torn off, all prove that this is just a simple, ordinary goods used by the courier company to transport goods!

"Sit down for me! Don't move! ”

After forcibly putting his cat girlfriend on the sofa and strictly ordering her not to return to the cardboard box, Hao Qi felt that he needed to confirm what the situation was now.

What is known is that she prepared a luxurious cat climbing frame villa for Xia Miaomiao, and the environment inside was also obtained by herself...... This cat's personal recognition, but judging from her current performance, this corrugated box shows the temptation of far beyond the luxury villa!

Based on the above, Hao Qi felt that it was necessary for him to do an experiment to verify his ideas.

Running back to the bedroom with a smoke, Hao Qi picked up the shoe box that Xia Miaomiao used to hide in order to avoid the sudden attack of her mother, and after thinking about it, he emptied the cardboard box of instant noodles that he had eaten half a box, and then returned to the living room with two cardboard boxes.

"What are you doing, Hao Qi?"

was about to quietly burrow back into the carton when she saw Hao Qi coming back with two cardboard boxes, one large and one small, and looked at him with some confusion.

"Miao Miao, come here, let's do an experiment."

Placing the shoe box directly on the sofa, Hao Qi stared intently at his girlfriend.

"Look, it's like people are going to get into this later...... Huh? ”

Halfway through the words, the cat girlfriend suddenly seemed to notice something, and suddenly jumped into the shoebox that was just big enough to accommodate her small body, and then looked at the stunned Hao Qi with a sad and angry face.

"So you're such a boyfriend!"

"I ...... What's wrong? ”

"Less nonsense! I've seen through your being! Sure enough, you are actually an evil wizard hidden among ordinary people! First turned the old lady into a cat, and now she has cast a strange spell in the box! ”

After saying this in a huff, the cat simply turned its belly over.

"Anyway, the old lady is already your person, and now there is no way to resist like this, you can do whatever you want!

“……”

Looking at his girlfriend who was in the carton with her feet facing the sky and her belly facing up, posing as a dead cat who was not afraid of boiling water, Hao Qi had a black line.

"Your imagination is too rich today...... It's just a normal shoebox. ”

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Even if it's a shoebox, it's a shoebox coated with poison! ”

“……”

Obviously, although it is not known for what reason, it is now at least certain that it is ...... It's not that cardboard boxes have magic, but that this kind of similar cardboard boxes or boxes have a unique and irresistible attraction to Xia Miaomiao, who has now become a cat.

And the easiest way to prove this is to......

"Whoosh!"

Really.

When she took her cat girlfriend out of the shoebox and then put the instant noodle box in front of her again, she also jumped into it with a gesture of no hesitation and took it for granted, and then skillfully began to scratch the wall of the cardboard box.

Hao Qi ...... I think this carton is also poisonous! ”

While scratching, the cat girlfriend came to such a conclusion in a serious manner.

“…… It's not so much that the cardboard box is poisonous, but that you are now completely dominated by the cat's instincts. ”

"It's all said that people aren't real cats!"

If you're not a cat, you'll come out of a cardboard box!

At the end of the first round of experiments, after temporarily putting away all the cartons in their sight to avoid a similar situation from happening again, Hao Qi and Xia Miaomiao sat on the sofa and began to stare wide-eyed.

"Actually...... I may be burned out......"

This stalemate didn't last long, and soon, Xia Miaomiao shyly found a plausible reason for herself.

"Because I didn't take medicine, I feel cute!"

“…… Well, you won. ”

In the absence of brain fragments at hand, Hao Qi could only decisively choose to die after his girlfriend in the form of a cat used the ninja method to sell cuteness.

"So, you're going to actually live in a cardboard box instead of a cat kennel in the future?"

As a newcomer to cat ownership, Hao Qi always felt that if he did this, he might be regarded as a cat abuse offense by the Small Animal Protection Association - although in fact it would not be.

"I think I'll probably be able to salvage it again."

Xia Miaomiao thought seriously for a moment and put forward a proposal to conduct a second round of experiments.

"Why don't you bring those three cardboard boxes again and let me sleep one by one?"

You just want to determine which cardboard box is more comfortable to sleep in!
