It all starts with a cat.

I am an international student, or rather, a former international student. Like many self-financed students studying abroad, after graduating from high school, I set foot in a strange country: the Maple Leaf Country. My parents were not wealthy, but they had stable jobs, so they were able to cope with the overseas tuition fees that had not increased at that time. And I have to figure out how to live on my own, so my spare time is basically full, shuttling through various places of small work. Thanks to this experience, I have learned about the difficulties of life and have come into contact with all kinds of different people.

There used to be a saying circulating on the Internet: Do you live 10,000 days, or do you live 10,000 times a day? That's how I am: going to school, going home, working, eating, sleeping, and of course, going to the bathroom. Until I graduated from college, I didn't step out of T City, let alone the beautiful country next to me. Then, I looked for a job and applied for permanent residency. Luckily, I majored in local law at the time, worked at a private school, and then succeeded in getting my identity.

I always thought that my life was like this, and I continued to follow the script of international students, and then I applied for my parents to come and immigrate, and then I got married, worked, and worked in another country that was not my motherland.

But everything is quietly changing, starting with a cat.

Tomato is a very ordinary, very ordinary ocelot that can no longer be ordinary. Well, that's what my friend who gave the cat said, I didn't see it, and everyone looked at her and thought it was a tanuki. It's not a common beauty short in North America, it's a tanuki cat. She has all the shortcomings of a tanuki: scratching people, not letting people hug, scratching the door inexplicably at night, and giving you a paw from behind when she sees that you are not pleasing to the eye, and she is also a picky eater. That's right, this cat is a particularly picky eater, and doesn't eat without meat or fish. And she has her own taste, not pork, only beef. Fish to salmon, not shrimp. You can eat some steamed bread if it is appropriate, but you need a steamed bun core. What if not? Scream, scream hard in your ear, follow your chatter, you just need to look at her and stick it up and scold. That resentful little look makes you hairy. It's too much to be bored, so try to be satisfied. Fortunately, she doesn't eat much and has a slender figure, so I can still raise it.

As for why it's called tomato, because she especially hates tomatoes, haha. When she saw the tomato for the first time, the look of disgust made her want to laugh. So, let's call it a tomato, and it just so happens that the back of her head is also round like a tomato.

When she was 8 months old, I did something that cat lovers hated but now regrets so much.

Here's the thing, I bought beef, and I ate it myself. As for her, she climbed up and asked for it, but I didn't give it to her at that time. I thought I'd give her a portion when I was dealing with the beef. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, she jumped on the cooking table and ate it in a big gulp. By the time I had finished packing up the rest, the beef had already gotten her bite into the nest. And she didn't even notice me, she was still eating hard. I got angry and slapped her and knocked her off the stage to the ground. To be honest, I've never seen such a stupid cat, don't cats flash? Why was it just her head that hit the ground first? Is it also said that cats can deftly roll over in the air? Why didn't she turn over? Then I heard "Duang".

She hit her head on the ground first, and then the cat stinked and became incontinent. I was terrified, and although I didn't mean to, I was still worried about her. I immediately went over to hug her, but she staggered away. I could feel that she was a little dizzy. I'll go with you right away, and the cat won't have a concussion, right? I took out my cat treats to coax her, but I saw clearly... Tears? Do cats cry? I didn't think much of it at the time, after all, my hands were too heavy, so I sprinkled a lot of cat treats on her. Comfort her, coax her. Then, she gently pushed my hand away and rubbed her head on the couch. Rub the place where it was hit. I didn't think much of it, so I left the treats for her and went to clean up the incontinence stink.

When I was done reasoning, I saw her squatting on the couch, looking at me, a little shy in her eyes? Still a little annoyed? The snacks were placed in a straight line by her, blocking in front of her, and it seemed to me that she was saying don't cross this line, or I will die to show you!

A cat's expression, how can I decipher so much?

Anyway, I'll leave that piece of beef to her. Although I am the culprit, after all, beef is what tomatoes like to eat, and if I don't rob her, I'm not very hungry anyway. Looking back, she was still looking at me from the couch. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I heard that cats are very vindictive and will take revenge on their owners. Am I hated by her? Forget it, I don't want to, cats, pets. Give more snacks, what bad thoughts can the kitten have.

I habitually entered the bedroom and closed the door. This is very important, repeating, I close the door, not lock the door, but the kind of unlocked lock used at home. Then get ready for the bath and get ready for the shower. When I was in the bathroom, I saw her swaggering in!? I'm closed! She crouched on the edge of the bathroom and watched me take a shower. To be honest, I live alone and am not used to being watched doing intimate things. Even if you are stared at by a cat, you are uncomfortable.

I thought of what I said on the Internet, the owner is in the bathroom, and the cat follows in because he is afraid that something will happen to you and he cares about the owner. The problem is, I'm closed. I can't confirm it right now. Forget it, we'll talk about it later.

Well, the door is open. Maybe I don't have as good a memory as I thought?

Turn on your computer and get to work. I'm majoring in law, so my main job is copywriting. Organize the school's files, sort out some of the students' documents, and recruit students, visas, and so on. That's my life. When I'm busy, I like to watch some videos on the Internet. All sorts of funny, or movie introductions, as well as the occult, historical. I'm just an ordinary person, and I have this ordinary person's hobbies. Hey? Pomodoro: What are you doing? I watch the video, you also watch, didn't you always go to sleep at this time? And then after I go to sleep, you start parkour in the house. Why are you watching today?!

This is a video about the Classic of Mountains and Seas, all kinds of magical monsters, mythical mountains and rivers, all of which are shown to the audience in the eloquent story of the up master. Are you also interested in tomatoes? "Meow!" , uh, it looks like you're interested. Do you know him? I clicked on the picture of Kui Niu on the video, which is a legendary monster. "Meow~Meow!!" , I'll ask, why are you so excited? "Meow! Bother~! "Oh, sorry, but it's affecting your ability to watch the video...???? You just said annoying?

"Meow ~~~~~~" a roll of her eyes, and she slipped out the door. A white eye?! Cat!? Am I overthinking?? But I clearly saw a person's expression when he was disturbed. A look? Am I too tired lately to go to bed? Right! Tomato went to bed, don't let her retaliate for me peeing on the bed, who knows who has a cat in this experience, and she seems to be still angry. I started to make the bed, and it was pretty clean. Tomato looked at me at the door like an idiot. Look at the eyes like an idiot?!!? No, I'm going to rest early, I've been too tired lately. Close the door and go to sleep. Tomato parkour every night in the house is annoying, so be sure to close the door and go to bed.

My sleep quality has not been very good, and I wake up with a slight sound. You can imagine how uncomfortable it was for me to run tomato every night. And I dream a lot, and the quality of sleep is particularly bad. Tonight was no exception, and I dreamed again about a dream I was having the other day. In my dream, I seemed to be a Taoist priest, and I was looking for something in the forest. It's been six or seven days in a row, and every day I've been dreaming the same dream. Today is a little different, I met my senior brother in a dream, at least he claims to be my senior brother, and I feel more at ease with him. He carried a peachwood sword on his back, wore a yellow robe, and carried a gourd on his back. He told me that we had been looking for this ghost for a long time, so we should be able to raise some eyebrows today.

"Bang !!" I woke up violently, it was raining and thundering outside. When I turned around, I saw two bright eyes beside the bed, and in the dark night, I was scared. Pomodoro when did you come in!!!! Get out!!!

I'm used to sleeping alone, so I don't like hairy things in my bed. I held the tomato and as soon as I put her out the door, she jumped back. Put it out again, and jump back again. When I picked her up again, I felt her tremble, she was scared, and she hooked her claws on my flesh. It hurts, it's okay, let you sleep in the bed, it's okay. Cats also tremble? Isn't it that animals are afraid to blow their fur? Was she scared?

I put her on the bed, and she got into the slit of the pillow, revealing only a small head, and she looked so cute. But how do you feel that the tomato is still trembling, she seems to be afraid of something. And she didn't hold a grudge against me at all, and was still waiting for me to. A cat? Waiting for her master to? How it feels weird. Forget it, go back to sleep.

Damn it! I'm back in this forest full of green miasma. My brother is gone. I couldn't see the road clearly, and I was groping on a cliff path. On the left is a green mossy rock, and on the right is a cliff, black-green, black-green. I held a torch in one hand and touched the rocks with the other.

Suddenly, a gloomy wind blew and the torches went out!

A poignant woman's laughter reached my ears.

"Hahahahahaha, are you here to die today?"

"Evil obstacles, I used to surround you without dying, but I didn't expect you to still do evil, I will accept you today!" (When am I going to bypass her??) )

"Hahahahaha! Come on! ”
