Chapter 1 Sleep in the sun

On August 22, it was another sunny Sunday when people didn't want to go out.

Russell curled up in the couch of the Delphinium's house, blowing the air conditioner and not moving.

With his eyes closed, he lazily tucked his head under the sofa pillows, at the corner of the armrests of the sofa, and clamped his head between them.

Just half-asleep, he was slowly flapping his tail on the sofa.

Russell's bones are soft due to the cat's psychic condition, and the right amount of crowding and narrowness can make him more comfortable. He liked to lay out four folded quilts in his four squares like Go, and then curl up in the little compartment in the middle—Russell could roll in them for hours before messing them up completely.

This is still the "ritual" he used to relieve his stress when he was in school.

Although the tutor has a good temper with other students, it can even be called conniving - it is the kind of connivance that will not deduct performance marks even if you skip class, will not call each other's names when discussing in class, will turn a blind eye when you are distracted in class or fishing, and can be accommodating for a few days even if you don't write your final essay assignment.

She always had a gentle motherly smile on her face and always persuaded other mentors not to be too harsh. So in the eyes of other students, this is really a good teacher.

— but only Russell knows her for what she is.

Her tolerance and gentleness were not due to her good temper – on the contrary, to the fact that Sally Ruth had a bad taste.

That's ...... She especially likes to see people's remorse and hard mouth.

During the long years of her life, Sally Ruth had a special way of having fun. That is, she is particularly fond of indulging the short-lived, pampering their laziness, and then quietly watching how they indulge in short-term pleasures and pleasures, and finally degenerate to the point where they begin to cry after drinking, "I would have been better if I had been."

In terms of her long life, the life of every mortal is so short. She likes to watch such live-action dramas, and she never gets tired of listening to cross talk.

At that time, Russell had not yet awakened his memory, and he was keenly aware of the arrogance and evil taste hidden under her gentle smile, so he always tried to stay away from her with his tail between his legs.

In other words, it is precisely because he lacks the experience of his previous life that he does not know how to hide the difference between himself and ordinary people.

So in the end, because of this peculiar and strange behavior, his otherworldly nature was noticed by Sallyrus. Eventually, Russell was also captured by her and became her graduate student.

However, it is different from the attitude towards other people...... Mentor Sally Russ was very strict with Russell.

Under ultra-high standards, it naturally brings ultra-high pressure...... This is true even for people like Russell.

He doesn't have time to go out, he doesn't have money to have fun, he doesn't like to smoke, drink and catnip, and his only means of entertainment is rolling around in bed. Sadly, he didn't have any roommates to call to, so he had to clean up the mess of quilts and sheets he had made......

At that time, Russell often suspected that he might be so tired that he died suddenly, but he did learn a lot - although he could be called a mentor, Russell still ran away as soon as he graduated.

Looking back now, the sense of danger that accompanied the bad taste in the mentor reminded Russell of the terrible boss in his previous life......

After all, both sides are also happy people who hide their arrogance in their hearts, and they also have the same appearance of gentleness and generosity, as if they can make friends with anyone, and can easily gain the trust of others, which also makes Russell feel an almost instinctive fear...... What's more coincidental is that the sense of fear is quite close.

And these two also knew that Russell saw through their essence at a glance and wanted to avoid them, but they liked to call Russell and make Russell work overtime.

Russell, who knew everything, didn't dare to act willfully like other people who were pampered, but could only honestly choose overtime with an intensity close to sudden death.

…… This is probably an isotope of another dimension.

- In? Your boss from your previous life chased you and asked you to continue working overtime.

It's a fucking fear of cardiac arrest...... The two bunnies in The Shining give people no more fear than that.

At this moment, Russell suddenly felt the pillow on his head being gently pressed.

Although he didn't say anything, Russell had already guessed that it was a delphinium - uncles and aunts would not be so bad.

But fortunately, the delphinium only lightly pressed the pillow and did not sit directly on it.

So even though he felt a little out of breath, Russell still didn't bother to move—he just used his tail to gently tapped the delphinium's legs and tail and reminded her to let go of her hands.

"Hum ......"

Seeing the sudden increase in the frequency of Russell's tail wagging on the sofa, Delphinium couldn't help but chuckle.

Russell used to watch TV on a pillow, but now he just tuck his head underneath and still lay sideways on the couch and curl up in a ball. So the delphinium simply sat in Russell's arms, and the back was Russell's chest and abdomen.

"It's hot......"

Russell grumbled, but stretched his legs out a little so that the delphinium could sit in it a little more. Otherwise, it will be a little uncomfortable to sit on the edge of the sofa.

Feeling the Delphinium's thick, fluffy tail wagging and sweeping over his body, Russell felt a little itchy.

He closed his eyes and lazily reached out to grab his tail, but the tail was dodging.

After two scratches and no grasp, his hand fell straight on him again, and he felt as if his sleepiness had become even heavier.

Speaking of which...... I don't know if it's an illusion.

Two weeks ago, after fitting the delphinium as a birthday present, the delphinium seemed to be a little closer to her.

Russell initially thought that Delphinium would be too shy to allow herself to have a prosthetic fit for her. After all, if the prosthesis is to be installed on the lumbar spine, it is basically based on the most conservative considerations, so you can only wear underwear...... Even when the back part is installed, it has to be removed by half.

And Russell didn't want to take advantage of Delphinium on the grounds of giving birthday gifts.

So he had already prepared in advance, and spent a lot of time teaching Uncle Herman how to fit the prosthesis, and as long as the delphinium refused, he would follow the delphinch's wishes and quit. As a result, I didn't expect the delphinium to answer without saying a word.

After the installation, even Uncle Herman became more enthusiastic towards Russell, inviting himself to come and stay every weekend.

Seeing that attitude, he already regarded himself as a prospective son-in-law.

This gave Russell a slight headache.

He is quite happy to have a good relationship with his uncle and aunt, and he can usually come over and eat something delicious with his aunt's craftsmanship.

And the same cat spirit relatives, and also the same faction peers, also have a good temper and character, and Russell and Uncle Herman have a better relationship - this is also partly because Herman belongs to the kind of Ragdoll cat with a better temper.

Because Uncle Herman is big. Sometimes Russell would get tired and lie on his back, and he would happily carry Russell around the house as fast as he could.

It can be said with great certainty that most of the sons do not have this kind of treatment...... Naturally, there is no such thing as a daughter.

- At least it has to be treated like a grandson.

Russell's biggest headache was that he didn't know what the delphinium was thinking — if he could understand what it would mean if they were together.

He will inevitably encounter a lot of dangers in the future, and it is the danger that he may drag the people around him into the water as well. Uncles and aunts are ordinary people, although that sense of warmth makes Russell feel relaxed and nostalgic, but it is precisely because of this that Russell is more afraid that something will happen to them.

But on the other hand, he is indeed very reluctant to the delphinium.

In a selfish way, Russell wanted the delphinium to be with him and face the difficulties head-on.

But Russell couldn't say this kind of thing anyway...... Or rather, it was the calm and rational answer he was afraid to hear after the delphinium had thought about it again and again.

Because of this, he cherishes the time the two can spend together.

Just being swept around by the delphinch's tail gave him a sense of relaxation in the sun.

As Morgan recounts:

In a warm home, lie down in the sun. Feel the warmth of the sun and slowly fall asleep, dreaming about her......

Delphinium listened to Russell's breathing become softer, and carefully removed the pillow covering Russell's head and placed it under his head.

Looking at Russell's sleeping face, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Leaning back against the sofa and lying on Russell's soft chest and abdomen, she leaned back on the sofa and slowly fell asleep.
