My Neighbor Totoro

Narration begins:

"The big star does the business, and the little assistant helps. The two work together perfectly."

"But when they were ready to relax and take a break, they were unexpectedly surrounded by passers-by."

"He obviously doesn't know the big star but he keeps talking a lot, as if he is here to mess things up."

"The big star couldn't afford to lose face, so he could only force a smile and negotiate with the other party, but soon he became exhausted and had no idea what to do."

"And at this critical moment, the young assistant stepped forward!"

【Wow wow wow, Totoro's assistant has done a great job! 】

[No! Why is it a frog's call?! And with a broken voice? ? ]

[Hahaha but it’s really cute, what a brave baby! ]

[It looks like a little doll that chirps when you pinch it. So cute. ]

In fact, Mianmian was also very timid at first.

After being carried away, it originally just wanted to hide quietly in the corner to reduce its presence, but when it felt the boy's slightly cold fingertips and gently trembling palms, the whole chinchilla was stunned.

In those few short seconds, the pair of bright black eyes looked at the pale-faced Gu Chen several times in surprise and doubt.

Are you afraid too?

The little chinchilla pawed at the air helplessly with its short front paws. Soon, it mustered up its courage like a warrior, and its tail twirled like a clockwork.

Well, well, it’s on!

"What the hell! What the hell?!"

Whatever it is, it's scary when it pops up out of nowhere.

Even though passers-by had never seen this chinchilla before, they were still frightened when they saw it suddenly jump onto the shelf and bar its teeth and pant. They retreated tactically, fearing that they would be bitten by the little guy in the next second.

"Guwaa!"

Mianmian paused, twitched his nose, and seeing that his threat was effective, he shouted at the person again fiercely.

Walk!

Go away!

“Ah, Mianmian…!”

This time, Gu Chen finally reacted.

His first reaction was to quickly protect the chinchilla on the shelf with his hands to prevent it from falling or being attacked. He nervously looked at the other side, completely overcoming his fear of socializing in this situation, and stammered to explain: "Well, that... I, I'm not an NPC, and, no, no code..."

"Ah? Ah, aren't you??"

Passersby were also confused.

The scene before him made it seem as if he was some big villain.

But he was just asking a question!

"Yes, that's right. I'm really sorry, we don't have any activities planned for this area."

At this stalemate, a staff member walked over quickly and explained to passers-by: "This is mainly an interactive session for the anchors. The guests basically meet their own fans, so they ask for IDs, not code words."

Only then did the passerby realize that he had made a mistake.

"Ah, haha, sorry..."

Although he looked rather rough on the outside, the passerby was essentially very polite and immediately apologized upon seeing this.

However, after he apologized, he felt a little confused.

He remembered that the interactive session was in the area on the left side of the entrance. Why did this anchor stay alone in a remote place? No wonder he misunderstood...

"No, it's okay."

Gu Chen, who was protecting Mianmian with his hands, was still in shock. He didn't dare to look at anyone and only responded to the other party's apology in a low voice.

His face was still a little pale, and the hands that were protecting the chinchilla were shaking slightly. On the contrary, the chinchilla that he was trying so hard to protect was grabbing at his hands and trying to look out. For a moment, it was hard to tell who was the easily frightened animal.

Uh, it’s over. Are the two little ones stressed out by him?

Passersby directly doubted their lives.

When he was led aside by the staff, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "No, this kid doesn't look very old, how did you officially invite him? Where are his parents?"

This kind of personality is totally unsuitable for participating in such a large-scale event. He was scared like this just because of a misunderstanding... Well, he isn't even embarrassed yet.

Passersby scratched their heads.

The staff smiled politely: "Please rest assured, the guest's arrival was permitted by his guardian. Of course, we have also prepared various measures to take care of the guest's emotions."

ah?

Are the officials so considerate?

Passersby were puzzled, but there was nothing they could say and they could only leave.

After walking a few steps, he happened to pass by two excited girls——

"Chenchen is in this corner, right?"

"Yeah, I showed the location in last night's live broadcast!"

"It's really strange. Why isn't this place marked on the map given out when you enter? Passersby would think there's nothing in this corner, right? He's a specially invited guest, why would they take him so lightly?"

"Well, maybe it's to take into account the personality characteristics of each guest? Chenchen also said that he doesn't like crowded places. Anyway, as long as the fans can find him, it's fine..."

Soon, the two girls stopped.

They looked at the empty booth and compared it with the group photos posted by the fans. After double-checking, they found a nearby staff member in confusion:

"Hello, why are the guests here missing?"

"Oh, something unexpected happened just now, so the interaction here ended early. I'm very sorry. If you two want to interact with the guests, you can come back in the afternoon."

Although Mianmian's attack just now was very brave, the chinchilla can't stand being scared.

After the passers-by left, it became a little anxious and could not stay there any longer, let alone continue the sign-holding process.

Probably still a little scared.

So, at the suggestion of the staff, Gu Chen ended the morning exhibition early.

"Just leave it in there for a while."

Put the restless chinchilla into a narrow, light-proof box, and you can clearly feel that the humming ball of fur has calmed down.

Gu Chen: Huh.

A sigh of relief.

The staff member looked at the boy who had become much quieter after leaving Totoro, and took the initiative to suggest: "Then, you can go to the waiting room opposite to take a rest, and then come back to check on Totoro in about half an hour."

Gu Chen originally wanted to agree directly.

However, the thought that the little chinchilla had dared to stand up for him in such a terrible situation made him feel a little uneasy. He felt that it would be too much if he did not do something to respond to the little guy's care and just rested himself.

Gu Chen hesitated.

But since Mianmian needs to rest alone now, maybe he can only be nicer to Mianmian in the future, hmm...

That’s right!

Good pet consultation!

Suddenly thinking of the main reason that prompted him to come to the exhibition, Gu Chen's eyes moved slightly. When the staff was about to leave, he took the initiative to speak: "...Excuse me, where is the pet consultation room here?"

Pet consultation?

The staff paused and quickly found another matching noun.

"It's the first one on the left in the corridor." She smiled politely, "The sign on the door indicates the doctor's status. You are welcome to come in for consultation at any time as long as you are free."

"Thanks……"

After Gu Chen and others left, he slipped back into the pet storage room and took a look from a distance.

"Thank you for just now, Mianmian."

Through the glass, the chinchilla was in its small nest in the cabinet and could not be seen clearly. Gu Chen was very worried, but he did not dare to go in and disturb it. He could only mutter to himself at the door.

He actually didn't want to meet strangers, but he came out this time just because he didn't want to disappoint his fans.

However, it was Mianmian who stood up for him, and it was reasonable for him to seek advice from a stranger for Mianmian, and he shouldn't be so entangled, huh!

Having made up his mind, Gu Chen prepared to set off.

“…Huh?”

But before leaving, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure sticking to the glass.

Looking closely, I saw it was a Samoyed in the pet room next door.

A big white and soft ball, it looked almost like a large-sized cotton ball, and its smile at him was friendly and cute.

It's a white puppy.

So cute.

Gu Chen couldn't help but smile at it, then turned and left.

He actually likes dogs.

But whether it is a cat or a puppy, they are both relatively lively. Puppies even need to be taken for a walk by their owners every day, but he can't do that, so he doesn't plan to keep a cat or a dog.

Besides, now he knew that chinchillas were cute.

When encountering danger, he will help others and is very brave.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen felt less resistant to seeing a pet consultant.

He walked along the corridor and soon found the room the staff had mentioned.

Taking a deep breath to prepare himself mentally, Gu Chen bent his fingers and knocked on the door carefully.

Dongdong——

A gentle female voice came from the room: "Please come in."

Looking up, she saw the boy pushing the door open. She closed the book and smiled gently, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Narrator:

"After the assistant stepped forward and saved the girl, her efforts were finally noticed by the big star."

"The big star was deeply moved by this. He rarely felt touched. After that, he lost his celebrity airs and wanted to please her for the first time."

"But he didn't know exactly what to do, so he sought advice from a senior person."

The audience cheered.

[Oh, oh, has the original work finally started to go both ways? ]

[Haha, but this is the beginning, right? Chenchen probably came here to ask just because he was afraid that Mianmian would get stressed and something would happen, right? ]

[This kid really cares about Totoro. He was attracted by the various pet benefits at the exhibition. Uh, would a game exhibition really do this for its guests?]

[Don't tell me, I've been feeling weird for a long time. Half a morning has passed, and only one passerby strayed in? I was so nervous that I was afraid that a stranger would stray in and scare the child, but after only one person came, the staff came to deal with it immediately.]

[Uh, and this pet consultant... Why do I feel like she's always looking at the child? And aren't these questions meant for people? ]

"Me? My thoughts?"

Gu Chen was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of hot drink handed to him by the woman. His sitting posture was very stiff and he looked a little awkward.

Hearing the consultant's question, he couldn't help but stroke the wall of the cup with his fingers, looking a little skeptical: "Isn't this a pet consultation? What does it have to do with me?"

The consultant was calm and said, "Of course it is related. It is said that pets are like their owners. The mood and personality of pets are greatly affected by their owners. If you want to judge the emotional problems of your pet, of course you have to consider the owner's situation."

"So, understanding the owner's situation is also a necessary step in caring for pets."

The woman's voice was gentle and contained a magical power that could not be refuted.

As to how much truth there is in what he said, it depends on one's own opinion.

Of course, for Gu Chen, who has negative social skills, being able to actively communicate with others and make requests is already his limit. He usually does not do things like questioning or rebutting that may cause controversy.

So, he believed it.

“I see…”

Because Gu Chen was nervous, he didn't look at the person's eyes during the whole process, not even at the person's face. Naturally, he missed the smile that flashed across the counselor's face when he heard these words.

He was just thinking about the little Totoro who had just stood up for him, and his desire to empathize with the other party was as strong as ever, so he told her without reservation about the series of events that happened when he was with Mianmian, including his own reactions during the process.

Of course, it was still awkward for him to tell a stranger his entire inner thoughts, so he just gave a brief description.

But that’s enough for the consultant.

After all, what she recorded was not only the boy's words of recollection, but more importantly his facial expression and demeanor when he was reminiscing.

In good condition.

Although it sounds a bit strange that he came up with the idea of ​​using chinchillas holding signs as a form of communication, it at least shows that he has a strong desire to communicate with the outside world.

The people I met online met offline one after another today. The progress was good and there was no conflict.

Overall, it's not a big problem.

The consultant's smile became more sincere. He was about to say a few words of conclusion when his occupational illness struck, but his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden question from the other side:

"So, why was Mianmian angry before?"

The boy rarely looked up, with a hint of depression in his eyes.

Consultant: …

It’s bad. I almost forgot what shell I was wearing.

"Well, you just said...you said you met a cat when you went out that night, right?" His brain worked quickly and he finally remembered this information. Although he was not familiar with the psychology of pets, the consultant still analyzed it, "Is it possible that the chinchilla was scared by the cat?"

"But that was when we set out. After we came back, Mianmian became very normal." Gu Chen lowered his eyes, looking a little confused. "It was during the live broadcast that Mianmian really behaved very strangely. She suddenly jumped on me..."

Aren’t all small animals weird?

The consultant had a headache.

Suddenly, an idea struck her.

"Oh, then is there a possibility that the kitten didn't give up that night and was lingering nearby, and the chinchilla noticed it?"

After all, she was not a professional in pet care, so the counselor could only bite the bullet and apply the emotional disputes she had seen in humans before to animals.

Come to think of it, they look quite similar.

The male protagonist in that family was also too slow-witted. His wife suffered all kinds of psychological oppression and humiliation from her green tea colleague and became moody unknowingly. Everyone also said that she was easily excited. She was so self-doubting that when she came to see a psychologist, he said that maybe she was wrong too.

Tsk, what a scumbag.

…Ah, but this place is full of animals and children, so it’s probably just a fairy tale set.

Anyway, the real business has been done, so it should be okay to talk about pet psychology casually, right?

In this way, the counselor applied the general logic of that incident and his speech became smoother and smoother:

"So, when the chinchilla is frightened in the dark, it rushes to you for shelter, which shows its instinctive dependence on you."

"And you do protect it. After it feels your support, it relaxes and likes you more."

Narrator:

"During the consultation process, the big star also discovered some doubts about previous things."

"From a third-party perspective, the assistant's repeated accidents do not seem to be unreasonable."

"It seems that someone is deliberately making trouble."

The audience was shocked.

[What! I unexpectedly hit upon the truth! ]

[Hahahaha, so this is how Green Tea’s true identity was revealed? ? ]

[What a coincidence, it happened right after the big star was touched by the little assistant ()]

【ohhhhhh, the Green Tea Cat's tricks are about to be discovered! 】

"is that so?"

Gu Chen was surprised at first, but also somewhat convinced.

Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly recalled the episode with the calico cat when he went out alone that night. It was on that night that the little chinchilla reacted even more strangely. It couldn't be coaxed no matter what, and it was sulking about the food.

"Well, maybe there was too much cat smell on you at that time, so the chinchilla felt scared and dissatisfied. It's not its fault, it just likes you." Gradually getting into the role, the counselor spoke nonsense seriously with a sincere tone, "At this time, you should give the chinchilla more care so that it can feel at ease, and it's best not to get any smell that will make it panic."

She actually didn't know whether small animals could have such a rich psychology...

However, by analogy with that case, if we transform all the characters into simpler thinking, it may be easier to handle.

"is that so?"

Gu Chen's eyes flickered, but it was obvious from his subconscious nodding that he was inclined to the consultant's guess.

Is it because of the kitten?

The boy twisted his fingers in confusion, struggling a little.

Actually, that kitten is also very cute.

It just wants a home and it's not wrong.

but……

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen’s eyes became firm.

Since he has raised Mianmian and the kitten makes Mianmian uneasy, he can't touch the kitten outside casually. The most he can do is ask his aunt to help feed the kitten.

He has to keep himself clean, eh!

Narrator:

"Although the big star did not realize what the little green tea girl actually did, he was aware of the misunderstanding that his previous actions might have caused the little assistant."

"For the sake of the assistant, he decided to avoid suspicion in the future and not let the assistant get angry again because of this."

"In short, he's going to change."

The audience watched the fun.

【Yo, a typical scumbag waking up midway. 】

[Damn it, even though the actual performance is cute, isn't there any punishment for the original star? ]

[You know, this is a sad story, so uneven distribution is common... and the green tea's intentions haven't even been revealed yet, so I guess it will take a while longer to be sad ()]

[What! Or fake repentance?! ]

[Hahaha, I am laughing so hard. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter here. No matter what the narrator says, this is a life of cuteness and healing between children and chinchillas.]

After consulting all this, Gu Chen actually couldn’t wait any longer.

But when he wanted to take the initiative to say goodbye, he didn't know how to start. He could only look down at his hands, and it felt like time had taken a lot longer.

Ding-ling-ling——

At this moment, the counselor's cell phone suddenly rang.

The consultant picked it up and checked it. When Gu Chen hesitated to say goodbye, he asked first: "Sorry, we are running out of time. The previous appointment is about to start. Do you have anything else to ask?"

call--

Thanks for the call.

Gu Chen felt relieved, and quickly shook his head, saying goodbye: "Then I'll leave, thank you."

Pushing open the door, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way back, he recalled the conversation just now.

In fact, it is not as difficult as imagined.

Chatting is quite relaxing, just reminisce the time we spent together.

If all the communication is like this, socializing is not that scary...

As Gu Chen thought about it, his steps gradually became lighter.

Next, he will treat his little chinchilla well and end the day happily.

Although I have been nervous about the trip for a long time, the feeling so far is actually pretty good.

If there are similar activities, maybe he can still participate...

"Huh?"

Gu Chen paused.

“Woof~!”

In his doubtful vision, a fat white Samoyed heard someone coming and turned around, wagging its tail. After smiling cutely at him, it continued to put its face against the glass seriously, with its paws pressing on it.

Before leaving, Gu Chen thought it was cute like this;

But now, Gu Chen doesn’t think so.

——Because the glass that the Samoyed was pulling was the cabinet where Mianmian’s chinchillas were locked!

"What are you doing..."

Gu Chen felt a little flustered.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the cabinet was closed, and the Samoyed was not a Border Collie, so it could not unlock the simple little lock.

But Gu Chen was still afraid that the puppy would scare Mianmian again while he was away.

Although he was afraid of humans, the boy still had some courage when facing animals.

"Go away!"

He tried to keep a cool face, lowered his voice and called out to the Samoyed, gradually approaching, trying to take the chinchilla away.

Samoyed: Woof?

The puppy saw through the human's false indifference at a glance, and with an irresistibly cute smile on its face, it ran to the human's feet, its cotton-ball-like fur brushing across the boy's calves.

...it feels very comfortable to touch.

Gu Chen shook his head, shook off the unnecessary thoughts, held down the soft head of the Samoyed with one hand, and tried to harden his heart, with a serious expression: "No, go away."

Samoyed: Woof?

The puppy slightly stopped smiling and shook its head left and right, as if carefully sizing up the human in front of it.

Gu Chen didn't have time to worry too much. Seeing the puppy staying where it was, he quickly walked to the chinchilla cabinet, hurriedly unlocked the cabinet, and opened the cabinet door to check on Mianmian's condition.

"Mianmian!"

"Gu?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly reached out to pick up the chinchilla.

But Mianmian seemed more excited than him.

Before he could reach out, the fur ball scurried down the shelf in the cupboard, seemingly without even looking where it was going, and jumped straight out.

Gu Chen was shocked:

"Wait! It's dangerous outside..."

The boy's pupils dilated, and in his limited field of vision, in addition to the chinchilla escaping from prison, there suddenly appeared a fat white Samoyed.

——The puppy just now suddenly rushed over!

Gu Chen was extremely anxious and subconsciously tried to reach out and grab the chinchilla in advance. However, when he bent down, he bumped his head against the glass cabinet. He felt a little dizzy and his movements were a little slow.

But he didn't care about this. Before he could refocus his vision, he quickly shouted to stop the puppy:

"Don't bite Mianmian, puppy!"

The scene was very quiet.

Gu Chen calmed himself down, lowered his head, and was stunned.

The scene below was not what he had expected, a confrontation that might be dangerous and bloody.

Quite the contrary—

The white puppy smiled happily, with clear eyes, like a little angel;

And on top of its head was a confused Totoro, grabbing the puppy's ears.

Yeye: Little cotton dog, it’s little cotton dog! Hey, do you think we look alike?

Mianmian: Huh? (stupid) (pulling the puppy's ears)

Narrator: The truly gentle male second appears~

The update time may be stabilized at 10 pm in the future. If you want to keep it on Saturday, qwq

At present, the next world is the world of divine birds. The original work is the kind of exaggerated fairy idols. The gods do not do their work and compete for beauty and favor every day.

Then the animalization is the various male birds that have reached the extreme of beauty in nature. The mortals who are being eaten are the food of the birds, such as insects (this will not make you empathize, right?)

There are probably many classic plot lines, such as the crane and the crested ibis, which follow the line of the white moonlight and the cinnabar mole in the fairy world, and the canary, which follows the line of the fairy descending to the earth and being attracted to the mortal... The main point is to write about beautiful birds that are difficult to write a single article about.

The main line may be the green peacock

A noble and elegant protagonist with ancient blood (referring to the Phoenix prototype) who unexpectedly fell into the mortal world or was in danger or suffered hardships.

[What do you think of this idea? qwq]
