In August, it was summer.

In a single apartment in a neighborhood in City C, a table lamp glows orange.

Xu Ran lowered his head, concentrating on the half-drawn portrait on the drawing paper in front of him, and his black fluffy natural curls added a bit of laziness to the young man with a stubborn expression.

On the table, there was a half-unfinished cup of cool white open, and the player in the open laptop played melodious European and American country music, but the volume was turned low.

In the corner of the table squatted a half-asleep, pure white cat, and at the cat's feet was a half-packed chocolate bar.

The electric fan on the lowest setting follows the frequency of the pencil falling on the paper, making a harmonious mixture.

Everything seems to be noisy, but it seems to be silent.

Buzz –

The vibration of the mobile phone on the table finally made Xu Ran look up from the painting.

He first pinned the pencil to his ear, picked up the mobile phone and quickly glanced at the caller, scratched the answer button, tilted his head, answered the phone through his ear and shoulder, and continued to take off the pencil and trace it on the drawing paper with his free hand.

"Hey, Dad?"

The phone was connected, and he couldn't hear what the person on the other end of the phone asked specifically, only Xu Ran replied while drawing as usual.

"Eaten, what about you?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

I don't know what was asked on the other end of the phone, and the pencil in Xu Ran's hand suddenly stopped.

"Interview results...... I haven't received it yet, but it should be soon! ”

He said firmly, his pencil turning twice between his slender fingers.

"Really,"

He said again.

Then he picked up the phone and poked the mouse on the table with a pencil, and the dark computer screen lit up again.

He glanced at the year in the lower right corner of the screen, and the light reflected in the black pupils dimmed for a moment.

However, then he smiled and said to the other end of the phone:

"What time is it? Of course it's not that fast, it's estimated that it will take a few days, don't worry, I'm not a child......"

At this moment, the white cat on the corner of the table suddenly opened its eyes slowly, and its furry limbs stood upright.

It wandered around the table for a moment, then silently jumped out of the window next to it.

"I know, you and your mother pay attention to your body, I will tell you as soon as there is news, don't worry."

The pencil in Xu Ran's hand swiped carelessly across the edge of the paper, leaving a faint gray wavy line.

"yes, it will."

Ding Dong –

The doorbell rang, and this was the second time Xu Ran raised his head.

"Don't talk about Dad, contact me another day, hang up first."

Xu Ran put down his mobile phone, picked up the rimless glasses on the table, put them on, lifted his loose pants, put on his slippers, and swam to the door slowly like a drunk.

Except for the courier and the food delivery person, he really couldn't imagine that anyone would find him at this point.

He has been grinding for so long, and the other party is not in a hurry, and he did not ring the doorbell to urge him again.

"Who?"

When he opened the door, the dim sky and the flickering street lights on the side of the street made Xu Ran couldn't help but squint.

"Li is unwilling."

The girl holding a document at the door said.

Xu Ran frowned: "Who?" ”

The girl seemed to feel that she had lost her words, paused, and raised her face, which was slightly pale in the light of the streetlights.

"I mean, courier."

After Xu Ran saw the other party's face, he was stunned for a moment.

The girl had fair skin and delicate facial features, especially those eyes, which were deep at first glance and bright when looked closely, but after looking at them for a long time, they seemed to be a little flattering. It's so weird that people can't tell whether it's pleasing to the eye or crazy for a while.

It's like a cat.

The girl was also dressed in a peculiar outfit, wearing a dark hooded monogram printed sweatshirt with a hat buttoned up to her head at this time, shorts and black stockings underneath, revealing half of her thighs, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet.

"My name is Li Wuyuan,"

The girl looked him in the eye and handed him what she was holding. "Your courier."

"Oh......"

Xu Ran took the thin document in her hand, but her mind was not on the courier - is this person sick in the brain? How can any courier introduce himself wholeheartedly?

Li Wuyuan watched him sign the tracking number, put his hands in his pockets, and glanced into the room.

"Can I go in and have a glass of water?"

Xu Ran's hand holding the pen froze.

Because he happened to be writing with his head down, he took a quick look at the ground behind the girl.

There is a shadow.

It looks like he's really sick.

Xu Ran smiled playfully, his eyes behind the lenses of his glasses slightly bent, and then returned the pen to her.

"There is a self-service drink vending machine at the entrance of the community, and you can turn left and go straight from here to deliver."

He took a step back and just put his hand on the doorknob, and at the same moment, Li Wuyuan's hand also reached out.

The two hands are folded and placed on the doorknob.

What's more, the other party's strength is actually unable to hold on to Xu Ran, a practitioner who has been in the Shaolin Temple for a few years.

By the way, Xu Ran entered the Shaolin Temple when he was in the first grade of primary school, and his classmates were crazy to say that he ran away to be a little monk, which spread throughout the school and became a joke to this day.

But in fact, he didn't shave his hair, and he went there purely because he ran into evil when he was a child. Later, Xu Ran's father said that he was coming, and he simply studied kung fu for a few years, and he was able to strengthen his body.

Therefore, even though Xu Ran looks polite, his personality and skills are not Sven.

Li Wuyuan looked at him with dignity: "No money." ”

Xu Ran was about to say that you don't have money to care about my, but Li Wuyuan suddenly slammed directly into his chest - to be precise, she knew that Xu Ran would make way for her, so she rushed over so recklessly and stepped into the floor of his house with one foot.

Sure enough, when she was a fist away from him, Xu Ran's body turned, his back was pressed against the door, and his hands were raised on both sides of his head to show his innocence.

"I won't charge you the courier fee, and I won't agree to give you a drink, I really don't know which company that doesn't have a long eye on this contract has misprinted the wrong name."

Li Wuyuan threw down such a sentence lightly, held his pocket in his hand, and swaggered into the house from in front of him.

Xu Ran was stunned.

He didn't care about her, he couldn't help but open the package, opened it, and saw the words "labor contract" printed on the header of the paper.

But before Xu Ran could get excited, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Which unit sends the contract directly?

A flash of alertness flashed in Xu Ran's eyes under his glasses, he glanced at Li Wuyuan who was standing in the room, and then closed the door with a calm face.

He flipped through the outer packaging of the package and saw that the mailing address on it was written by the Ministry of Public Security of Shipu Town, H City.

"Liars should also make the props decent."

Xu Ran flipped the contract in his hand and looked at Li Wuyuan and said.

He sat back in his nest, threw the contract on the table, and spread his hands, "But little girl, you seem to have found the wrong person, I'm not a rich man." ”

Li Wuyuan sat on the small wooden table, looking down at the half-packet of uneaten chocolate bars.

"Can I eat this?"

Xu Ran's movements froze for a moment, and he endured patience and said, "Whatever." ”

Li Wuyuan picked up a chocolate bar and put it in his mouth, with a sense of satisfaction on his face.

"Hey!"

Xu Ran kicked the foot of the table with his sandals, a little impatient: "Who are you?" ”

Li Wuyuan slowly turned his neck, as if he was stretching his waist.

Xu Ran always felt that she had a very familiar feeling.

When she passed by him just now, there was a faint smell of new clothes on her body similar to those that had just come out of the warehouse, indicating that her outfit was probably bought temporarily.

The top of her head is about to his chin, and the soles of her shoes are a little taller, and her net height should be between 1.6 and 1.64 meters, how old are you...... On the surface, it looks like he is in his early twenties, but I am afraid it is difficult to conclude the specifics.

Li Wuyuan noticed that he was looking at her and asked, "Am I good-looking?" ”

Xu Ran came back to his senses and chuckled: "It's not bad, but I guess you don't know much about people, so you're pretending to be very bad." ”

The computer was not turned off, and the low voice of the European and American singer still came from the player.

Li Wuyuan's face showed a little disdain.

She reached out and pulled away the sweatshirt behind her, pulling a long, fluffy white cat tail out of her shorts.

Xu Ran's eyelids jumped, and he raised his foot and shrank half on the bed.

Li Wuyuan pointed to his tail and asked him again:

"Do you recognize that?"

Xu Ran shook his head, the nerves on his eyebrows tensed and ached.

However, the picture that appeared in the next moment directly made his whole brain hurt.

He saw Li Wuyuan's body shrink suddenly—just the body, the newly bought clothes lost the support of his limbs and collapsed, and the hooded sweatshirt, shorts, socks, and sneakers all suddenly shrank and fell to the ground.

"Holy!"

Xu Ran jumped on the bed.

A white cat sprang out of the pile of clothes on the ground and jumped onto the table.

"It's ...... you"

Xu Ran looked at the familiar cat and said in a daze.

A few days ago, the cat stray to his door, Xu Ran fed it a little food, this kind of stray cat is very common in the community, but at the same time as the cat, he found that the cat's hair is very clean, like someone else's pet cat out for a walk.

Xu Ran thought that it would go back when it had had enough, but for several days, it only squatted at the door of his house, Xu Ran had no choice but to carry it in, and by the way, he posted a revelation about the cat in the corridor.

The white cat paced slowly on the table, treading to the tune of the music, consciously or unconsciously, and its white tail fluttering in the air like cotton wool.

"I've been following you for a month, curly-haired human." White Cat Road.

Xu Ran has been yin and yang since he was a child, and he is used to seeing terrifying pictures, either disgusting or bloody, but he has never seen people turn into cats or cats and still speak.

He paused for a moment before asking, "What are you doing with me?" ”

"Sign the contract and follow me to Shipu Town."

Xu Ran: "Why? ”

"You'll find out later."

The white cat jumped at his feet, and Xu Ran bounced away in an instant.

The white cat glanced at him with disdain: "Hide from me? These days, when we eat and sleep together, you still call me a little cute. ”

"What the ...... this"

Xu Ran helplessly lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, lowered his head to end this insulting words, and then suddenly remembered something, and looked at the white cat Li Wuxuan with strange eyes.

"So, you're the one who has been stomping on my body these days?"

"Uh-huh."

Xu Ran looked at his crotch, remembering the eggs under the cat's paws, how rare and enjoyable he was at the beginning, and how much he wants to kill the cat now.
