Chapter 10: The Inevitable Bad Luck
"Okay, got it."
"Got it, well, bye-bye, you hang up first."
By the time the young man finished calling, Jiang Sheng had been leaning on the potted plant and basking in the sun for a while.
Look at the black cat lying reclining, hooking its tail.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"You're pretty comfortable, what, do you still want to eat canned food?"
Because it had rained heavily last night, the young man left the black cat in the house for the night.
I didn't expect this guy to make a fuss at all.
Turning around, he took out two more boxes of cans from a cardboard box, and the young man casually opened them and put them on the ground.
"Come on, I only have two cans of this stuff left, so I'll give it all to you."
Just as the youth said.
He used to have a cat for about two years, and he has been raising it since he moved out of his dorm room after the end of his sophomore year.
It's a pity that he got sick later, and gradually he couldn't even manage himself, so how could he have the spare energy to take care of the cat.
So about two months ago, he found a pet store and gave his cat to the store manager.
I didn't accept the other party's offer to choose a pet in exchange, and I just hoped that they could take care of their cat.
Because it is a fully vaccinated breed cat, and it has not been sterilized.
So the young man thinks that this is probably not a bad thing for pet stores. After all, you can continue to breed, and it will bring certain benefits in the future.
In addition, the treatment of being a breeding cat is also good.
As for why the cat was not neutered, it should be because of the youth, I once heard a sentence.
What is called depriving an animal of its reproductive rights is often more cruel than depriving them of their lives.
So he never thought about it, and only thought that if it really didn't work in the future, he would take his cat to find a companion or something.
Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be a good guy at implementing plans.
These canned foods, apparently, were leftover rations from the young cat's diet.
Although it has been left out for a while, it has not spoiled because it is canned.
"Meow."
Jiang Sheng glanced at the young man's neck, which had faded a little black qi, and screamed casually.
Then he jumped off the windowsill and walked to the cat's canned food and ate the fish.
"You don't look like a house cat."
Smiling and looking at Jiang Sheng's messy hair, the young man stretched out his hand and flicked the black cat's ear.
"When you're done, I'll take you downstairs. You don't have to climb the window anymore, it's dangerous, you know. ”
As he spoke, he finally put his hand on Jiang Sheng's head and rubbed it briefly.
So far, Jiang Sheng didn't know the name of the youth. And the young man is not ready to understand Jiang Sheng.
They were just two souls who met by chance, and it usually didn't take much time to go from meeting to separation.
But Jiang Sheng didn't plan to leave like this.
Especially when young people are burned by boiling water in the process of making noodles.
Jiang Sheng understood more and more that it had to take something with it before leaving.
"Whew, that's bad luck. Luckily, I reacted quickly, otherwise this finger wouldn't have been usable today. ”
It's not the height of summer, the temperature is not high, and there is no need for air conditioning. With his knee on the fan, the young man sat at the table, muttering about instant noodles.
His computer was not turned off, and there was music he liked to listen to when he was writing.
It was a very melodious tune, without half a line of lyrics or amazing technique.
It's just melodious and extraordinarily peaceful.
However, in such a rainy morning, such a "highlight" music fits the atmosphere very well.
So much so that even the buildings outside the window can't maintain a poetic stereotype.
Jiang Sheng turned his head thoughtfully, watching the young man eat noodles, and at the same time, he used a pen to write and draw on the page with great interest.
It admits that it somewhat does not understand why a person like this would look so haggard.
Shouldn't he enjoy his life very much.
So man, it's really a complex creature.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Jiang Sheng finished eating the two boxes of canned cat food.
After taking four pills, I don't know what it was used for, the young man took the black cat downstairs to the garden, ready to let it go back and forth.
This way of dealing with feral cats, although not appropriate.
But the young people are not working hard now, so they can only keep everything simple.
"Alright, go back, if you have a home."
Under the shade of the trees outside the apartment building, the young man put Jiang Sheng on the ground.
He didn't leave immediately, but continued to crouch in place, waiting for the black cat to take the initiative to leave.
However, to his surprise, the black cat did not seem to have any intention of leaving at this moment.
It just stood there silently, looking at him with a strange silence.
"What's wrong?"
The young man with a tired face suddenly felt that the sun was a little dazzling.
At this time, he realized that he had not gone out for a long time.
Even the clothes seem to smell "moldy".
"Meow."
The black cat barked calmly, and then, with a light movement, jumped on the young man's back.
"Hey, I can't take you in."
In the face of the black cat's sudden move, the young man did not panic, and even squatted.
As if he was worried, he looked up helplessly and said like a black cat that would fall on his back if he got up directly.
"I'm too busy to take care of myself now, do you know what the word means, take care of myself."
Just like a sour old pedant, repeating the words in his mouth, the young man took pains to communicate with the black cat.
"Meow."
"Meaning, I don't have the energy to care about you anymore."
With that, the young man raised his hand, grabbed the black cat from his body, and pressed it to the ground again.
His actions this time were undoubtedly a bit rough, as if he wanted to scare the black cat away.
But Jiang Sheng was still standing in front of him.
"I won't care about you anymore."
The young man looked at the black cat and shook his head.
After that, he stood up, turned around and walked back to the apartment, ignoring Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng, on the other hand, wagged his tail and licked his paws lazily.
Then he followed the wall and jumped to the sixth floor again.
When the young man sat in the room and saw Jiang Sheng appear on his windowsill for the second time.
He simply closed the curtains.
Out of sight, out of mind.
He didn't think the black cat was going to stay on his laurels.
After all, cats are quite realistic animals, they are not as persistent as dogs, and they are more flexible.
By the time it realizes that there is nothing left to eat, it will probably go on its own.
The young man thought about it and began his day's work instead.
This is the torture he will face next.
A kind of self-questioning that borders on torture.
