Chapter 496 The Secret of Classics
Zhou Wen scratched around with his four claws, trying to break free from the hand holding him, but he was unable to do so.
The scenery in front of him changed, and soon Zhou Wen saw a face, a face as ferocious as a ghost, but the eyes on that face were looking at him with indescribable tenderness.
"Were you also abandoned by your owner? You must be hungry to run here. Eat something first." Gudian said as he put Zhou Wen on the ground next to him. There were two cat food bowls there, one with milk in it and the other with cat food in it.
Zhou Wen had never seen Gudian so gentle to others, nor had he seen him speak to others in such a soft and gentle manner. It seemed like he was two completely different people from the Gudian he knew.
"Eat quickly." Zhou Wen was placed next to a plate of milk, and Gudian squatted beside him and looked at him.
Xiaomei and the other four cats stared at him eagerly, but did not dare to come over. They just meowed from a distance.
"Xiaomei, Xiaoyong, you can't do this. It's just like you, a poor homeless creature. You should love each other." Gudian said to the four cats.
Zhou Wen got goosebumps after hearing this and turned around to leave. He ran as fast as he could for fear that Gudian would come to catch him again.
But when he ran a short distance away, he did not hear the footsteps of Gudian chasing him, but instead heard the voice of a strange man coming from afar.
"How are you doing with the task I asked you to do? It's been so long, and you can't even handle such a small matter. Are you afraid of Zhou Wen?"
Zhou Wen had no intention of stopping, but after running a few more steps, he heard his own name. He couldn't help but stop and turn around to look over.
There was a boy in school uniform standing opposite Gudian. Zhou Wen didn't know the boy, but he looked like a senior student, older than him.
"Why do you want to touch Zhou Wen?" Gudian asked the boy.
"You don't need to know, just do what I say." The boy curled his lips and said, "I'll give you three more days. If you don't complete what I tell you to do within three days, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep that secret for you anymore. Think about it carefully."
After saying that, the boy turned around and left with a cold face.
Based on Zhou Wen's understanding of Gudian, this guy should be fearless. If someone dares to threaten him like this, no matter who the other person is, he should just punch them, right?
But this time, Gudian actually watched the arrogant boy leave without any intention of taking action.
Zhou Wen was very curious. He wondered who that boy was, what exactly did he want Gudian to do, and what leverage did he have on Gudian?
After thinking about it, Zhou Wen did not leave immediately. He wanted to figure out what was going on. After all, this matter involved him. If he did not find out who was the mastermind behind the scenes, similar incidents might happen again in the future.
Zhou Wen walked over to Gudian. When Gudian saw him, a hint of tenderness appeared on his ferocious face. He squatted down and put the plate of milk in front of Zhou Wen again: "Eat quickly."
Zhou Wen was a little anxious. Gudian was obviously not a talkative person. If he wanted to wait for him to talk to himself and tell him what had happened, it might be unrealistic.
"How can I get Gudian to tell me the whole story?" Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen's mind, but he couldn't come up with any solution.
After turning back into a human, ask Gudian? This was obviously not a good idea. His relationship with Gudian was not that close, just a little better than that of a stranger classmate. If he asked him face to face, he might turn hostile on the spot. Even if he didn't, given Gudian's personality, he probably wouldn't tell him anything.
While Zhou Wen was thinking, Gudian pushed the milk towards his mouth again. How could Zhou Wen drink the milk for cats? He subconsciously turned his head away, indicating that he didn't want to drink it.
But when Gudian saw Zhou Wen's action, he sighed and said, "Do you also think this is wrong? Do you think I did something wrong?"
Zhou Wen nodded subconsciously, but he regretted it as soon as he nodded. He was a cat now, how could he understand classical words.
Gudian looked at Zhou Wen in surprise, but his ability to accept things was obviously stronger than Zhou Wen had imagined. He did not even doubt Zhou Wen and thought that Zhou Wen was just a very spiritual cat.
"I know this is wrong, but if I don't do it, they will tell everyone that I have the bloodline of a dimensional creature. Then everyone will treat me as a monster, not a human being," said Gudian.
Zhou Wen was so surprised that he almost cried out. He never thought that Gudian would have the bloodline of a dimensional creature.
"Could it be that one of Gudian's father or mother is a dimensional creature? Can humans and dimensional creatures combine to produce offspring?" Countless strange thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen's mind.
"But for so long, Zhou Wen and the others have treated me like an ordinary person. They are not afraid of me or reject me because of my appearance. They treat me as one of them. How can I do such a thing? What do you think I should do?" Gudian looked at Zhou Wen and said bitterly.
Because of his own problems, Gudian has no chance to make human friends, and he doesn't know how to communicate with humans. But in front of a cat, he can speak his mind without worry. Isn't this a kind of sadness?
"Beat him, beat that son of a bitch to death. What's the difference between human and non-human? Don't even mention whether you have the blood of some dimensional creature. Even if you are a beast, I won't mind." Zhou Wen wanted to say this, but when he opened his mouth, he made a meow.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to raise one paw and point in the direction the boy had just left. He pointed hard several times, meaning that he wanted Gudian to beat him up.
Seeing Zhou Wen's reaction, Gudian seemed to understand something and his eyes became firm.
"I know what to do." Gudian said to Zhou Wen, then stood up and strode in the direction the boy left.
Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment, but still chased after him. He still wanted to know what the boy's purpose was in targeting him. Maybe he would be able to hear it later.
But after turning into a cat, Zhou Wen lost all his energy and his fastest speed was only that of a domestic cat. There was no way he could catch up with Gudian. When he caught up with Gudian, he saw that Gudian was already standing in front of the boy and seemed to be talking to him.
"I can't do anything to Zhou Wen. Please change the conditions." Zhou Wen vaguely heard the classic voice say this.
"Change to another condition? What qualifications do you have to bargain with me? You don't really think that Zhou Wen and the others regard you as a friend? They just want to take advantage of you because you are stupid and strong. If they knew that you have the bloodline of a dimensional creature, do you think they would still be willing to let you stay in the Xuanwen Society? At that time, they will only regard you as a monster and look at you like pigs and dogs, all beasts." The boy pointed at Gudian's nose and said.
