My Neighbor Totoro

The narrator enjoys watching the fun:

"In fact, with the previous suspension bridge effect, the assistant has already developed a vague affection for the big star."

"Although he seemed arrogant and unreasonable when they first met, after getting to know each other, he found that the big star was actually a very gentle person."

"As a young white flower who has not experienced much of the world and has taken care of a big star for a long time, her transformation is natural."

“So, when he saw the big star returning late at night with traces of someone else’s claim to his property, he couldn’t help but feel angry.”

“But the big stars don’t know anything about it.”

Gu Chen was really confused to the extreme.

He persuaded Totoro in a gentle manner for an hour, but now that the show is about to start, the little guy is still sulking.

Gu Chen was distressed: "What happened?"

whisper……!

For Mianmian, it was the first time she felt betrayed.

Humans who have been out and about carry the scent of their natural enemies, which is actually irritating enough for a hamster.

While it was hesitating whether to accept the food and forgive the cat, it smelled the cat's saliva on the food.

This is too much!

Once again, he dodged the human's comforting hand, and his nose twitched rapidly.

Using food that the cat has claimed as its own to comfort it...

Do you really think Totoro has no temper, you bastard! !

The audience fell down laughing at this development.

[Hahahaha help me, is this Shura Field? This must be Shura Field! ]

[Mianmian: You smell like its perfume~]

[I am dying of laughter. What kind of development is this? This is too outrageous. Hahaha! ]

[It's all Green Tea Cat's fault! I suggest you send her to me for punishment! ]

The narrator continued to boo:

"The assistant was very thoughtful, but the big star didn't notice."

"After a few words of coaxing failed to solve the other party's problem, he continued to work normally."

"The assistant, who has nowhere to vent, can only secretly vent his temper at work."

Seeing that the show was about to start, Gu Chen could only force the little chinchilla onto the table.

The fur ball struggled violently, and he had no choice but to let go. He didn't dare let it hold up any sign tonight. He just wanted the chinchilla to appear on camera.

But Mianmian is very rebellious.

Gu Chen turned it towards the camera to try to show its face, but it slowly turned around in small steps.

When it turned to face the human, it paused, and the next second, it continued to turn in even smaller steps, leaving a round and full back view from both sides.

Gu Chen: ...

Gu Chen: "Alas."

[Hahaha, so cute, so cute. Even mice have tempers! ]

[In the original work, it was a bit outrageous to bring small emotions into work, but here Totoro's little temper is acceptable to me, hahaha, so cute. ]

[It's good enough that the chinchilla didn't run away, why shouldn't you be grateful! 】

As soon as the fans came in, they saw the furry ball hiding at the edge of the camera.

Unlike the assistant who held the sign obediently before, the Totoro seems to have a special emotion today...

[Hahahahaha Mianmian, what’s wrong with you? Why are you turning your back to us?]

[Mianmian didn't manage the camera well, the show has already started, turn it over!]

[It looks so cute, with a chubby and soft back. I really want to pinch it!]

"Sorry, there may not be a picture of Mianmian's face today." Gu Chen approached the camera with a bit of apology, looking distressed, "I don't know why, Mianmian seems to be angry with me."

The fans are dying of laughter.

Ever since Gu Chen got a little chinchilla, the originally monotonous live broadcast process suddenly had many more small episodes, which not only livened up the overall atmosphere, but also allowed fans to see a different Gu Chen.

So fans all like this little chinchilla very much.

Everyone's comments were very friendly:

[Hmm? How can a little idiot like Totoro get angry? Chenchen, how did you offend him?]

[Hahahaha so it’s a limited edition, I took a screenshot as a souvenir!]

[I'm curious, what will happen if I ask Mianmian to hold up the sign now? Will she just throw it away?]

"Mianmian is not stupid, it's not his problem." Gu Chen tried to explain, "I just went out and brought him some chinchilla food. Maybe he doesn't like the new food."

"Hold a sign? You'll get thrown away..."

Gu Chen turned his head and glanced at the little chinchilla who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up but still kept his back to people, and tentatively handed over a small flag while speaking.

Snap!

Sure enough, Mianmian didn't hesitate and threw it away directly without giving any face at all.

Gu Chen was not angry, he just found it funny: "Well, that's probably it, Mianmian is on strike."

"Okay, forget about it for now, let's start today's game."

Gu Chen touched Mianmian, and was not angry when Xiaosuibu dodged him. He turned his attention back to the game.

[Chenchen, have you considered yesterday's offline exhibition invitation? Are you planning to go? If you do, I will grab the ticket and come here!]

During the halftime break of the game, Gu Chen saw a message from a fan.

He was very familiar with this fan's ID.

These are the fans who stayed in the live broadcast room to accompany him from the beginning. Many things in the live broadcast room were suggested by them.

Including the camera position, the proportion of the game screen, and the fan interaction mode...all of which were sent to him privately by this fan.

Even when Gu Chen casually mentioned during a live broadcast that he sometimes felt disconnected from the world when he woke up alone in the evening, it was this fan who took the initiative to leave a message and suggested that he could keep an animal with the same habits as a companion so he wouldn't feel lonely.

It was because of this proposal that he asked his brother to raise Mianmian.

In Gu Chen's heart, this fan has always been his good friend.

I really want to meet a friend like this...

But what if, when they meet in real life, he does something that does not meet your expectations and disappoints the other person?

The balance in his heart was swaying, Gu Chen was still hesitating, but his peripheral vision was attracted by a jumping ball of fur nearby.

Mianmian finally couldn't stay still anymore and started jumping on the table, not knowing what she was trying to do.

As he was lost in thought, Gu Chen suddenly thought of the various small clothes prepared for chinchillas by the customer service, as well as the professional pet consultation...

Come to think of it, he didn't know what Mianmian was angry about just now. Should he consult a professional so that he could take better care of Mianmian?

At this time, all I can think of are the benefits of the exhibition.

The balance in my heart gradually tilted.

"Maybe." Gu Chen's eyes flickered, and he reached out to hug Mianmian, holding her in his arms and stroking her fur from time to time. The comfort of his fingers touching the soft fur greatly eased his tension, making the second half of his sentence much clearer, "If, it's a sunny day..."

Fans were excited and posted:

[Wow wow wow, really? Really? I can see Chenchen offline now, I’m going to book the tickets now!]

[Shaha, I can’t even imagine how good-looking Chenchen will be in person! Can I take a photo? Please, this is my lifelong wish!]

[Will Mianmian go? Although I didn’t see a house prepared for chinchillas in the promotion, it shouldn’t be a problem to put them together with rabbits, as they are both quiet little animals.]

[I checked the weather, it will be sunny for the next week hahaha, I’ll book the tickets now! ]

"Um……"

Seeing the enthusiasm of the comments, Gu Chen's ears turned red, and he advised everyone: "You still have to come back if you want to see the exhibition? There's no need to come here just because of me...really."

But the fans' enthusiasm was unabated. All kinds of excited jokes and exaggerated online stories made Gu Chen completely unable to distinguish the truth from the false. He could only hurriedly start another game to change the subject: "Big brother, let's play the game first!"

After the live broadcast ended, Gu Chen realized it belatedly.

Just now, it seemed like I agreed too early.

He can't stand being in crowded places, let alone communicating with strangers in public.

Last night, I reached an agreement with the store owner, and he hesitated for a long time behind the shelf and typed it on his mobile phone for people to see.

However, meeting fans cannot be done by typing on your phone all the time...

what to do?

Would it be disappointing if I agreed to go but didn’t go?

Just when he was struggling, Gu Chen suddenly saw the small banner on the table and the Totoro next to the banner.

A subtle idea suddenly popped up.

Perhaps, he could let Mianmian hold up a sign to communicate for him...

"Mianmian!"

Like grasping a life-saving straw, Gu Chen adopted this plan without hesitation, and then directly stopped the jumping little chinchilla, with a serious expression: "I need you, let's do special training!"

whisper?

Mianmian stared at the person blankly, frightened for a moment by this inexplicable aura, but then, her nose moved, and when she thought of the smell of the chinchilla food, she became so angry that she kicked her legs.

No cooperation!

I won’t cooperate!

Go find a wild cat outside to cooperate with you!

"Eh? Eh!"

The boy was in a panic, trying to control the agitated chinchilla while also being careful not to hurt it. His usually calm tone even had a few ups and downs: "Be good! Don't make trouble! I need you..."

Unfortunately, he was not as agile as the chinchilla, allowing Maotuan to find a chance to slip away.

After that, a chase broke out in the room.

The chinchilla was jumping up and down everywhere, and Gu Chen was anxiously looking for it with snacks.

Narration begins:

"Although the misunderstanding has not been resolved, the big star will have an important schedule in the near future. In order to get the assistant to stop being so irritable at work, I can only apologize and make amends temporarily."

"The naive assistant believed the celebrity's story of an 'accident'. Plus, he had no legitimate reason to be angry about it, so he forgave him."

【Ah, scumbag! 】

[Hahahaha, I wouldn't be able to react to this either. Who knew that Green Tea Cat would contaminate the chinchilla's food? ]

[Although it was a misunderstanding, it was not at all bloody and clichéd, but rather a bit funny. Why is that? ]

[Hahahaha, in the end it's Shushu who has to bear everything! ]

[The kids are all panting from chasing each other, and they are exhausted, that’s enough ()]

In the camera, the man and his pet finally reconciled after a brief chase.

To be precise, Mianmian doesn't plan to run away.

Chinchillas have very thick hair and will get very hot after just a little running, so they are not suitable for long-term exercise.

After running and jumping like this for a while, the chinchilla achieved the amount of exercise it needs in night parkour. After being coaxed by the human with food in a gentle voice, the little guy forgot his anger towards him and started to chew the food obediently.

"call--"

Instead, it made Gu Chen very tired.

The boy's cheeks turned slightly red, and he didn't plan to start training the chinchilla now. He just wanted to wash up and rest as soon as possible.

After coaxing the chinchilla, Gu Chen stuffed it back into the pet cabinet in the next room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the chinchilla lying on the bed with its legs spread out, and his heart moved slightly.

In fact, you can just put Mianmian in his room now.

They were still in the process of getting used to each other a few days ago, but since they are going to have special training next, why not put Mianmian in the room with them?

The next day, Gu Chen told his brother about this idea.

"Of course I can..." Gu Xu's voice sounded a little hesitant, "But are you sure Mianmian won't disturb you?"

Gu Chen said seriously: "I have observed her these past few days, and her schedule is the same as mine."

They both become active in the evening and start to feel sleepy around dawn.

The chinchilla sleeps longer than Gu Chen. After waking up, it doesn’t do parkour frequently. It spends most of its time in a daze and is very quiet.

So, even if we are in the same room, he won't be disturbed.

Gu Xu raised the key question: "But Auntie only comes in to clean in the afternoon. If you live with Totoro, then Auntie will have to clean your room every day?"

Gu Chen was obviously shocked by this.

Taking into account his previous dislike of socializing, the aunt that Gu Xu chose for him would only come in the afternoon when he was sleeping, clean the room, leave the meal, and leave on time.

Even if there is a task to clean his room, it is only once a week, and I will inform him in advance every time so that he can sleep in the guest bedroom the night before.

They had never met each other for a long time, and he almost forgot that the warm meal on the table when he woke up every day did not appear out of thin air.

"Then not..." Thinking of this, Gu Chen immediately planned to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again.

Many thoughts are fighting in my mind.

I'm about to go out, so I need to spend more time with Mianmian to avoid being embarrassed at the exhibition and disappointing everyone.

But if he moves here, the aunt will have to come in to clean only when he is awake, which means she will have to see him every day...!

If I take care of myself, I'm afraid that I might be uncomfortable if I'm not considerate enough...

A lot of entanglements.

In the end, the previous thought prevailed, and Gu Chen retracted his previous refusal, mustered up the courage to whisper: "It's okay, I will wake up early and leave."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xu waited patiently.

Hearing this answer, even he was a little surprised. He quickly swallowed the compromise proposal he had originally thought of and responded impatiently: "Okay, I will talk to Auntie about changing the time. As for the cabinet, I will ask someone to come to help later."

His brother responded straightforwardly. Gu Chen wanted to regret but had no choice but to say gloomily, "No need for help, I can push it myself."

There was a cabinet with wheels at the bottom, so he could push it even if he didn't have much strength.

"Okay. By the way... you've never seen a chinchilla taking a bath, have you?" To relieve his brother's stress, Gu Xu started chatting, "It's almost time to give Mianmian a bath. Tomorrow when Auntie cleans up, she'll show it to you. You can help it wash afterwards. Chinchillas seem to like taking baths very much."

Wash Mianmian?

Gu Chen opened his eyes slightly. The appearance of this incident made him feel a little less resistant to his aunt coming: "Okay, I will go and see."

After that, they chatted casually about some daily things.

Before ending the call, Gu Chen suddenly thought of something and said, "The chinchilla food yesterday was not tasty. Mianmian didn't like it."

Gu Xu:?

That's the highest quality imported brand, and the little guy is quite picky.

"Okay, okay, I'll try something else next time." Gu Xu smiled helplessly and said goodbye to his brother, "Remember to eat on time, don't stay up too long at night, and get enough sleep."

"oh."

Gu Chen responded casually, not seeming to take it to heart.

But Gu Xu was not discouraged.

After all, interfering with his brother's affairs under the pretext of pets will slowly put him back on the right track.

Like yesterday, I was worried that the chinchilla food might be contaminated after being handled by others, so I asked my younger brother to go out and get it himself.

The same logic applies to having an aunt come to your home.

Start with one pet and correct it little by little, and things will change slowly.

Well, but now...

Gu Xu was searching through a specialized chinchilla food sales website with some distress, feeling puzzled.

Instead of eating the best quality food, they look for the next best quality food.

Oh, what a strange Totoro.

Gugu.

At the same time, Mianmian was caught in an unusual struggle.

Temporarily reconciling with humans only means that the cat accepts humans, but does not mean that it accepts food that is stained with the smell of cat saliva.

After all, vigilance against natural enemies is hardwired into rats’ DNA.

But……!

"Gu!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Just now, the chinchilla suddenly jumped onto the boy's slippers, and kept pulling at the human's feet, refusing to move.

Gu Chen was afraid of hurting it, so he didn't dare to move. He could only ask in confusion: "I'm throwing away some trash, why are you coming over here?"

The fur ball's pair of bright black eyes stared at the big bag full of chinchilla food in the human's hand with persistence and determination.

Gu Chen thought the little guy was still holding a grudge, so he explained seriously, "Don't you dislike this? I'll help you throw it away."

Mianmian: ...

Gu Chen really couldn't understand, so he tentatively grabbed a handful of chinchilla food and squatted down to hand it out: "Could it be that you like it again?"

Mianmian: T^T

At the tip of the nose, the aroma of food and the lingering smell of natural enemies intertwined, making the little chinchilla's already limited brain capacity seem even more insufficient.

Reason tells it that it is dangerous and cannot be eaten!

But it smells really good...

Her nose twitched several times, but Mianmian still didn't speak.

"You still don't want to eat."

Gu Chen sighed, withdrew his feet, and threw the things in his hand into the trash can at the door without hesitation.

grumble……

He didn't notice that the light in the little chinchilla's eyes went out as the parabola fell.

Until he was picked up by him, Maotuan looked dazed and stupid.

However, the furry little chinchilla never showed any strong emotions, so Gu Chen didn't notice it.

The narrator sighed:

“This is abusive writing.”

"As they get along, the assistant's subtle feelings are ruthlessly destroyed, giving her hope and despair."

"But the big star is completely clueless and is still unconsciously playing with his sensitive heart."

Audience: …

[The good news is that I am really moved; the bad news is that I am moved by the feed. 】

[Not hahahaha, it's too funny with this narration!!]

[Who can understand this? It would be great if the rat could speak human language. ]

[Mianmian: You can still eat it if you wash it, wash it! Why do you wash it? Why throw it away! (Screaming)]

[So cute, goose, goose, goose, kiss me, Dai Dai Mouse. 】

In the live broadcast that night, although Mianmian took the cards obediently, she was always quiet and looked dejected, which made Gu Chen very worried. Even feeding her seemed to have little effect, which made Gu Chen very distressed.

He really doesn't know how to coax a chinchilla.

However, things took a turn for the better when my aunt came to my house the next day.

Auntie came at five in the afternoon.

As soon as she walked into the living room, she saw a handsome boy holding a snow-white chinchilla, standing at the bedroom door and peeking at her.

It looked like he had just woken up and his hair was a little messy.

The alert look is a bit like a cat.

Auntie remembered the boss's request, so she just smiled at Gu Chen gently and politely, and greeted him in the tone of treating a child: "Chenchen, are you awake? The boss told me that I will go to clean the room first, and then cook for you. Do you think this is okay?"

"……Um."

Gu Chen seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't. He just walked silently to the next room with the chinchilla in his arms.

When the aunt walked into the room, she remembered the boss's last-minute request and quickly leaned over to ask, "Oh! By the way, do you want the chinchilla to be given to me first? I plan to give it a bath and give it to you right after that."

Next door, the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Although he arrived at the door immediately, Gu Chen deliberately paused for two seconds to make himself look less anxious, and then slowly poked his head in: "Well, wash first."

While the aunt was busy, Gu Chen moved to the door little by little, as if he was planning to watch.

After watching for a while, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Auntie, don't you need to get some water?"

“No need.”

The aunt came over with a small sealable basin and a bag of things.

As soon as it saw these two things, the wilted ball of fur in Gu Chen's hand immediately became visibly excited, flapping its claws and wanting to jump down.

The aunt opened the basin and skillfully poured half of it with bath sand. She patiently explained, "As long as an animal like a chinchilla doesn't fall into something dirty, you only need to use bath sand to wash it."

"oh……"

Gu Chen felt very curious. After putting the chinchilla down, he squatted aside and watched it carefully.

There was no dirt on the clean white ball of fur on the surface, but it became extremely excited when it saw the bath sand in the basin. It dived into it, rolled around in it, and raised up fine sand.

If the aunt hadn’t reacted quickly and closed the lid, Gu Chen’s face would have been covered with sand.

“Huahua——”

And Mianmian inside is very wild, with wild and bold movements.

Whoosh——!

Roll! I roll!

Wash and smell fragrant! I smell fragrant!

A few minutes later, Mianmian was satisfied. Just then, my aunt opened the lid and it jumped out from the opening at the top. It shook its body like a puppy, shaking off the fine powder remaining on its fur.

"Is this the end of the wash?"

Gu Chen was greatly surprised. He picked up the chinchilla again and observed it carefully. He found that the little guy did feel a little smoother, and the fur on its back, which was originally slightly layered, had become fluffy again.

It's like it's been refurbished.

The most important thing is that after taking a bath, the chinchilla is particularly energetic, jumping around and seems to be in a very good mood.

“Hmm…”

Gu Chen unexpectedly found an effective way to calm the chinchilla.

In the next few days, whenever Gu Chen found that Mianmian was unhappy or was passive in training, he would use a combination of snacks and baths to attract it.

The effect is outstanding.

Moreover, even if you just use an empty basin, the silly fur ball will happily jump in, and after washing itself with air, it will become extremely obedient and well-behaved, and super easy to coax.

Gu Chen took this opportunity to get Mianmian used to sitting in someone's hand and grabbing cards, in preparation for the upcoming trip.

After practicing like this for a few days, when the day came for him to go out, Gu Chen was already very confident.

The narrator sighed:

"For future activities, the big star tried his best to appease the assistant and wrote a lot of blank checks."

"The young assistant was bewitched by the big star's sweet words and fell into the sweet trap, but she didn't realize the other party's purpose."

Audience: …

[Pfft, well, how come letting Shushu clean the air isn't considered a blank check? ]

[You can’t take a bath two or three times a day! Or maybe Mianmian is too easy to fool ()]

[Hahahaha this is totally out of character. In the original novel I was about to start scolding the protagonist for being in love, what is going on here? ]

[Bathing brain? Snack brain? Damn, what's wrong with chinchillas being a little greedy and a little clean! ]

Stomach-ache narration and relaxing images.

"Hi, this is the last number 5380, right?"

The driver rolled down the window and called out, "Come on, get in the car."

Someone got in the car and sat in the back seat.

It was strange, there was only one person there, and he thought he would sit in the passenger seat.

The driver opened the rearview mirror and was about to start chatting using traditional skills, but when he looked closely he found something wrong.

[Sorry, I don’t want to chat right now.]

It is a note expressing the passenger's mood.

Ah, he understood, he understood. After all, there are passengers in the world who don't want to socialize. Of course, he didn't understand why a casual chat would make some people anxious. Obviously, chatting is just casual talk. It would be boring to have a quiet journey. He didn't even feel anything while driving... Well, okay, that's not the point.

The key is——

The driver glanced left and right, and finally couldn't help but look at the back seat through the rearview mirror.

This note was held in the hands of a silly chinchilla.

Its owner kept his head turned away from beginning to end, and even half of his face could not be seen clearly.

no……

The driver was speechless for a moment.

What kind of person doesn't want to help socialize and train their pet? !

This chapter focuses on a daily love-hate entanglement——

Mianmian: It’s cat food, yue! Take it away! I hate you!

Or Mianmian: Do you really want to throw it away? This smells so delicious TT

Mian Mian: Yeah! It’s time to take a bath! Love you!

Or Mianmian: Why is there no sand? Why is it still a little wet after washing? Why do I have to practice? Woohoo…
