Cat Transfer Student

Time passed quickly and school was over in the blink of an eye.

Because the school is located in a remote area, most parents will wait at the gate to pick up their children after school in the afternoon.

Some time ago, there was a serious injury case in the next town, and it was said that the criminals were still on the loose. This made the parents even more worried, and they waited at the door early to rescue their children.

However, not all children are accompanied by their parents.

At the school gate, about to get on the bus, Yang Xue stared at a certain direction without moving. Her mother patted her daughter in confusion and asked, "Why are you daydreaming?"

Yang Xue grabbed the strap of her schoolbag and said sadly, "No one picked up Xu Wei..."

Yang Meng followed the direction of his daughter's gaze and saw a thin boy walking alone.

He seemed to have no interest in anything around him, with his head lowered. He walked with a very strange pace, as if he was not in the same time and space as the crowd.

When asked about the specific situation, Yang Xue scratched her face and said, "I don't know much about his family situation. He basically doesn't talk in the classroom."

"So you're still paying attention to him?"

"I'm kind! I care about the weak!" Yang Xue stood with her hands on her hips and chest puffed out without blushing, flattering her mother at the same time, "Hehe, I learned all this from you!"

Yang Meng shook his head and smiled: "Okay, if you really want to learn from me, would you still be careless and forgetful all day long?"

After laughing, he said, "But caring about classmates is also a good thing. What do you want me to help you with?"

…

【Finally school is over. What is the cat looking at while squatting on the wall? 】

[There are so many people. Are parents in this world so reluctant to let go of their children? There is no danger in going to school. ]

[There is still a child who walks away by himself. Hmm, he looks a bit like the first one who touched the cat in class...]

The camera focuses on Xu Wei who is walking slowly.

He should be at an age full of vigor and vitality, but there is no bright color on his face, only a dead silence like a dry well.

The audience didn't notice much because of the setting environment in the classroom, but when they watched it again in the atmosphere of sunset, they found something was wrong.

[…Why is this kid so depressed? ]

[You're not sad because no one picked up the phone, are you? Not that bad, right? ]

[Are you serious? It's obvious that this kid has some mental illness, his eyes don't move at all.]

[This feature reminds me of a character in the original work...]

[Huh? Is the cat following him? ]

That’s right, the lion cat that had been standing on the wall and patrolling for a long time finally took action.

It jumped off the fence and quickly ran out from the gap in the primary school's electric gate. Ignoring the angry shouts of several security guards behind it, it ran towards where Xu Wei was.

Cat pounces——

"Hmm?"

A little itchy.

Xu Wei, who had almost no perception of the outside world, looked down and saw a familiar little figure pulling at his ankle.

His pants were no longer fitting him and the trouser legs were almost pulled to his calves, which brought him into close contact with the lion cat's furry front paws.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Xu Wei squatted down and, with awkward movements, gently stroked the kitten as the teacher had taught him: "Hello again, Xuetuan."

He very naturally used the metaphor from his class to call the kitten.

The lion cat nodded modestly, seeming to acknowledge the title, which softened Xu Wei's usually cold eyes a little.

After a brief moment of warmth and companionship, the kitten lying on Xu Wei suddenly retracted its claws, broke free from the young man's soft arms, and ran away to an unknown place.

Xu Wei squatted there and waited for a while before slowly standing up.

There aren't many people on this road anymore.

"Meow~"

After walking a few more steps, Xu Wei suddenly heard a familiar cat's meow.

His heart skipped a beat and he looked around. Finally, he saw the kitten that had been acting coquettishly by his legs on the upper left wall.

The snowball, glowing golden in the setting sun, tilted its head and looked at him, as if waiting for something.

"What are you doing up there?" Xu Wei even stumbled a little, because of some speculation, "Are you going to take me home?"

Xu Wei said this, but he became uneasy the next second. He quickly lowered his head and walked forward several steps without looking back, as if he didn't care whether the kitten would follow him or not.

[Oh, this kid is so twisted. ]

[It's not bad for depression, he's just afraid of being rejected. So far, I don't see any violent tendencies in him, so why did he go so far as to attack the transfer student? ]

[It starts with depression and ends with excitement, a redemption play, I know this well! I was still wondering where the ruthless person would come from to attack a cat, but now it’s understandable that it’s because of mental illness. ]

[It makes sense. It seems that he will lose control of his emotions later because he doesn't take the medicine, or the transfer student brought him the medicine. ]

[Hahahaha, there’s a picture. The cat is holding a medicine bottle! ]

Although he didn't turn his head intentionally, Xu Wei still saw the white mass moving up and down through his peripheral vision, moving parallel to him on the top of the wall.

Caught up.

My heart suddenly relaxed, and in the next second it flew up to the clouds with joy.

The emotional fluctuations and thoughts he had throughout the day today were more than those accumulated in the past month.

Is it time to take medicine?

No, no, Dad said we can’t waste medicine, we need to save it…

All these little thoughts linger in my mind, but they still cannot change the comfort and warmth that this special companionship brings to the children.

The originally lifeless figure finally showed some youthful liveliness, and his steps became lighter.

“Hmm…”

Yang Xue, who had been observing secretly for a long time, pursed her lips.

Seeing the little cat she had been thinking about and the weak classmate she cared about getting help were obviously two happy things, so why was she so jealous!

Jealousy made her look unrecognizable: "I don't want to take the bus home! I want to go with Maomao... Ouch!"

Yang Xue covered her head and Yang Meng withdrew her hand.

Even though she was fighting, thinking about the latest news from the police station, she still took her daughter and followed Xu Wei all the way to a crowded place.

Along the way, what surprised Yang Meng was that the white kitten actually walked with the boy on the wall all the way. When they walked out of the intersection, the kitten even jumped down naturally, walked to the boy's feet and crossed the road right beside him.

What a kind and human-like kitten.

She thought.

Even compared with Ah Xuan who has received training in the bureau, he is not inferior at all.

The audience in the live broadcast room also said the same thing.

【The Cat Team has made great contributions! 】

[Wow, I also want a cat to go home with me! 】

The kitten accompanied the boy through remote paths, through busy streets, and completed what should have been a very long journey.

Arriving at the door of his house, Xu Wei looked down at the white mass at his feet and asked hesitantly: "Do you... want to go in?"

A foul smell mixed with alcohol and sweat wafted out from the half-open door. Xuetuan wrinkled his nose, stepped back, sneezed several times, and turned around angrily.

Xu Wei's smile faded: "Okay, bye."

During the journey just now, he tried to feed the kitten, but the food seemed not to suit its appetite.

With his hand against the door, Xu Wei's voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Next time..." He will prepare a gift.

If there is a next time.

The wind blew, and the lion cat's pink triangular ears trembled. I don't know if it understood the boy's unfinished words. It just tilted its head, ran into the green area, jumped onto the wall and disappeared.

After looking at the corner where the snowball disappeared for a while, Xu Wei pushed open the door.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere on the way here was too comfortable, he mustered up the courage, walked to the sofa, and pleaded with his father in a soft voice.

However, what greeted him was an overwhelming barrage of scolding like lightning and thunder.

“You just want money!”

"I don't have any money! I've spent a lot of money on the medicine I give you all day, so stop doing this."

"Want to feed the cat? Go away, why don't you think about feeding your father? You've read so much that you've got nothing in your stomach! If I see that beast, I'll kick it to death!"

"How dare you show such disdain? Don't close the door!"

"Well, I have to bear your anger even though I have to support you!"

"You are sick and I am also sick. Why didn't your mother take you with her when she left?"

…

Snap——click——

In the dark, the lion cat lurking on the balcony is sharpening its claws.

At first, it just listened quietly to the argument between the father and son, but after a few words, it began to scratch the ground with its claws.

The cat's eyes in the dark were dim and flashing a strange light.

[The cat can’t hide the look in his eyes when he wants to stab someone.jpg]

[Ahhh I can’t stand this scumbag father anymore! ]

【I now understand where children's mental illness comes from. It's so sad.】

[Will this guy hit someone? Cat, call the police! ! ]

Bang!

Bang!

The scumbag father had already started banging on the door. Xu Wei leaned against the door, listening to the vibrations. His face was pale, his eyes were unfocused, and he was holding a medicine bottle tightly in his hand, with blood almost flowing out of his fingertips.

What he held seemed not to be a small medicine bottle, but some kind of hope, some kind of sustenance.

Limited by the host’s perspective, viewers in the past had almost no chance to “see” the characters’ backgrounds with their own eyes, but now that they can see it, they immediately feel empathy and pity for them.

[This is so pitiful. Can we change the guardian at this level? ]

[No matter how much medicine I take, the family environment won’t get better. If it continues like this, the condition will definitely get worse. ]

[How come there are two sets of weird parents in just two days? ]

[After all, this is a fictional world... and there are parents like this in real life, but the cat transfer student is so agile that we have the opportunity to see it. ]

Xuetuan, who was squatting in the dark, stopped sharpening his claws, raised his head and looked around Xu Wei's room.

In the group photo at the bedside, in addition to the scumbag father who was smiling like a normal person when taking the photo, there were several other adults who looked somewhat similar to Xu Wei. They stood behind Xu Wei, who was only about four or five years old, and their actions of putting their hands on his shoulders and touching his head carried a protective tone.

But they keep a certain distance from their scumbag father, and seem a little alienated.

There was not a single photo of Xu Wei's mother in the entire room.

Bang——!

The sound of banging on the door suddenly stopped. The scumbag dad answered a phone call and went downstairs.

But Xu Wei was still curled up against the door, trembling slightly, as if he was still immersed in the fear just now.

I could still vaguely hear him mumbling:

“I… don’t want it anymore…”

Even though the kitten hated him, there was nothing he could do. He had to take medicine to cure his illness so that he could go see his uncle and his mother.

It's just the same as before, it doesn't matter.

It's okay.

Swoosh——

His vision was blurry. When he sensed a strange creature approaching, the frightened Xu Wei stretched out his hand and pushed it away. However, his palm separated from an extremely soft and warm object as soon as it touched it. He raised his head in doubt.

“…Gu?”

Not far away, the lion cat who had just said goodbye to him was lying on the ground with its belly up, its four plum-shaped paws raised, and its beautiful heterochromatic eyes, which had always been mysterious and elegant, were rarely filled with a bit of doubt and confusion.

But soon, the cat's eyes lit up, and the whole cat turned over and stood up, running lightly to Xu Wei's hand, patted the boy's hand, which was red from nervousness, with its paw, and lay down on the spot as if it was hit by a porcelain brick, and then called softly.

Xu Wei: ...Huh?

His mind was a mess, and he subconsciously pushed the kitten out just like he did before—

"Meow!"

After turning around a few times, the cat stopped, jumped up excitedly again, ran back and lay down.

Xu Wei pushed again.

The cat got what it wanted and spun around and slid away again, with bubbles of happiness on every tuft of its fur. This time, it even rubbed its head affectionately against Xu Wei's palm before falling down. The whole cat exuded a sweet, soft and friendly temperament.

When Xu Wei placed his hand on the soft, harmless belly of the little animal, he heard the cat's comfortable little purring.

“Hoohoo~”

Xu Wei: …

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to laugh.

In the live broadcast room, the narrator, who had been silent for a long time, spoke:

"As the saying goes, there is no friendship without fighting. Even the person who initially provoked the transfer student, after a serious fight with the transfer student, laughed off the grudges and became friends."

audience:?

Don’t you city people call this kind of healing scene “fighting”?
