Extra 2 Mid-Autumn Festival

Inside the bar's private room, the lights were dim and hazy, as if deliberately tuned to the most alluring hue. The air was filled with a subtle aroma of alcohol and fruit, and every breath felt like a savory taste of indulgence.

Several young people sat on the sofa in the private room, their laughter and chatter mingling with the clinking of glasses, as if time had slowed down. On the table lay a variety of exquisite wine glasses, each filled with a different colored liquid. Tiny water droplets clung to the rims, adding a subtle touch of ambiguity.

"Mr. Su, it's really hard to ask you to come out and play now." Han Xingzhu saw Su Qingyan take out a cigarette, so he went over and lit it for him.

In recent years, the Su family has been the dominant family in Mincheng. With the strong support of the Lu family behind the scenes, they are now invincible. Everyone is lining up to curry favor with the Su family, and Su Qingyan's social engagements never stop.

During the period just after the verdict, Su Qingyan was busy all by himself. At first, Su Chonglin would give some guidance, but after everything was almost straightened out, he let go completely. Now he is as idle as an emperor.

Su Qingyan was also a natural born businessman, with a flexible mind and a divergent thinking style, always able to predict how things would develop several steps in advance. Aside from his bad temper, there was nothing else to fault with him.

But in Zhou Cheng's opinion, this bad temper is just an act in public. At home, he is like a kitten pretending to bare its teeth. Although its claws are scratching him, not a single nail will be extended.

"You all have your uncle and father backing you up, who can I rely on? I also want to live the life of a young master."

Those present were all friends that Su Qingyan had always played with, and since he had drunk a few glasses of foreign liquor, he started to complain more.

"Dad, it's so great to be the head of the family. You are no longer a young master, you are already the master." Lu Ze heard the irritation in Su Qingyan's tone and quickly complimented him.

"Head of the family?" Su Qingyan spread his arms and placed them on the backrest. He lay on the sofa and turned his slightly sore neck. He put the cigarette under his nose, sniffed it, and then put it out in the ashtray.

"What are you worried about? You've been married for several years, but I'm still single. I also want sweet love." Lu Ze curled his lips, took a sip of the freshly mixed wine, and grimaced again because of the spiciness.

"I'm not worried. What should I worry about? You're the one who's worried, right?" Su Qingyan knew Lu Ze's melancholy personality very well. He would feel upset for several days after watching an art film.

Lu Ze checked his watch and nodded, "It's indeed time for late-night emo."

After he reminded her, Su Qingyan also looked down at the time and found that it was already past midnight.

Zhou Cheng had surgery today, and based on past experience, he wouldn't be home until 12:00. Seeing that it was almost time, Su Qingyan stood up and prepared to leave.

Perhaps it was because he drank too many different kinds of wine, he felt dizzy after standing up and his stomach began to churn.

Lu Ze was quick to support Su Qingyan before anyone else and sent him to the bathroom.

Su Qingyan leaned on the sink and retched a few times, then washed his burning cheeks with cold water.

"Am I going to have a younger brother or sister?" Lu Ze handed over a face towel and teased.

"Get out." Su Qingyan pushed him hard on the chest and leaned on the sink with her head down.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Ze became nervous when he saw that he didn't even have the energy to scold him.

"Nothing, just take me home."

To be honest, Su Qingyan didn't know what was wrong with him.

Logically speaking, things are going smoothly now, business is booming, and life is sweet. I shouldn't have these negative emotions.

But Su Qingyan always felt that something was blocking his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

Lu Ze dutifully sent Su Qingyan home. Before entering the parking lot, he saw the lights on the top floor and thought something was wrong. However, Su Qingyan looked so lifeless that he didn't dare to leave him behind, so he had to bite the bullet and go upstairs.

As soon as they reached the door, Zhou Cheng opened it.

"Hey, Doctor Zhou, you haven't slept yet?" Lu Ze said with a smile on his face.

Zhou Cheng nodded and took Su Qingyan from him.

Su Qingyan lowered her head and threw herself into Zhou Cheng's chest, feeling inexplicably wronged.

After Lu Ze finished the handover, he saw that the atmosphere in the room was too ambiguous, so he immediately left.

"Why did you drink so much? And smoke?" Zhou Cheng carried the man to the living room and smelled the faint smell of tobacco in his hair.

"I didn't smoke it, someone else smoked it." Su Qingyan wanted to keep hanging on Zhou Cheng like this.

"Not having fun? Why aren't you in a good mood?" Zhou Cheng saw how listless he was and pinched his slightly red cheeks.

"Aren't you angry that I went out to play so late?" Su Qingyan pulled Zhou Cheng's hand to her chest and interlocked their fingers.

Zhou Cheng smiled helplessly. When they officially started their married life, he had indeed had a few arguments because of Su Qingyan's excessive social engagements, but through adjustment, he gradually came to terms with it and had long since let it go.

The two people's lifestyles are indeed completely different.

After a busy day, Zhou Cheng just wants to sit quietly in his study, read books, browse literature, and write papers, so that he can quickly recover his energy.

As for Su Qingyan, the way to gain power is to have a wild party.

"You don't even ask me when I'll be home now. Don't you care about me anymore?" Su Qingyan suddenly found the root of the problem.

"I'm so wronged... You find it annoying when I ask you, but you think I don't care about you when I don't ask you." Zhou Cheng knew that Su Qingyan must be drunk now. He would never say such nagging words under normal circumstances.

"You should learn how to ask appropriately." Su Qingyan pouted in dissatisfaction and punched Zhou Cheng on the shoulder a few times.

"What a kitten." Zhou Cheng felt itchy in his heart because of this flirtatious punch, and left a few kisses next to his somewhat blurry eyes.

"I'm sleepy and want to sleep." Su Qingyan refused bluntly, then added, "It would be nice if it was a kitten. I wouldn't have to think about so many things."

It’s better to be a little tipsy. If you drink too much, you just want to sleep.

Zhou Cheng didn't force him. After a simple wash, he fell asleep in his arms.

Su Qingyan was awakened by the cold wind, and his whole body was shaking.

The window is not open? Why is it so windy?

He sniffed and opened his eyes with difficulty.

But when he opened his eyes, he was so scared that the hairs on his body stood up.

I'm really furious.

I was actually on the narrow glass platform of the outdoor swimming pool outside my bedroom.

"Zhou Cheng!"

Su Qingyan reflexively called out Zhou Cheng's name, but unexpectedly heard a few sharp "meows".

?

"Meow?"

He then looked down at himself and saw that his hands had turned into furry little paws, which he involuntarily raised to his mouth and licked with his tender red tongue.

Su Qingyan was shocked by his own actions again and got furious.

He forced himself to calm down and tried to move. His limbs seemed to have become more nimble, and he didn't slip on the glass floor.

But this doesn't prevent my legs from becoming weak.

Su Qingyan leaped back from the platform to the open-air balcony. The moment he landed on all fours, the wonderful sense of balance made him feel a little dazed.

After returning to a safe area, he finally had the mind to look at himself through the window.

Reflected in the floor-to-ceiling window was a tiny black kitten, no more than two months old.

Did I really turn into a cat? Is my mouth blessed?

Su Qingyan quickly accepted the fact that he had turned into a kitten and began to figure out how to get into the house.

The curtains were drawn tightly, so I couldn't see what was going on inside the bedroom. It was daybreak and the sun hadn't risen yet.

Why isn't Zhou Cheng getting up yet?

Su Qingyan paced back and forth beside the window, meowing inside from time to time.

But he was also aware of the soundproofing effect of the glass. Even if a helicopter landed on the roof, no sound would be heard in the room, let alone his own negligible moans.

Just as he was about to try his luck in another room, the curtains slowly opened.

Is Zhou Cheng up?

Su Qingyan leaned against the window, looking inside intently.

Zhou Cheng stood shirtless beside the bed, talking on the phone with a serious expression.

Su Qingyan looked at Zhou Cheng from a perspective he had never seen before, and was stunned for a moment by the shock of his taller figure.

But he soon began to save himself, scratching the glass next to the floor-to-ceiling window and jumping around, trying to attract Zhou Cheng's attention.

But Zhou Cheng didn't look over here. He was talking on the phone while getting dressed.

What's the rush? Are you looking for me? I'm right here!

Su Qingyan was so angry that she was spinning around, complaining about Zhou Cheng's lack of tacit understanding at such a critical moment.

In the end, he banged his head against the floor-to-ceiling window several times in frustration, but in the end all he got was tears of pain and he curled up pitifully.

Forget it, let’s try another method.

Su Qingyan sighed and rubbed his head, which was still throbbing with pain, with his paws.

After Zhou Cheng hung up the phone, he put on his clothes and turned to look out the window, trying to find the source of the small noise.

A black kitten, not even as big as a coffee cup, with its head covered in its hands, looked pitiful and ran directly into his sight.

Zhou Cheng opened the French window and looked at the little black cat in confusion.

"Meow!"

Su Qingyan felt a gust of warm air blowing towards him.

Finally, I don’t have to shiver in the cold wind anymore.

Zhou Cheng saw the little black cat jump directly at him like a small cannonball. He never expected that this little thing would be so clingy.

"Whose house did you run away from?" Zhou Cheng grabbed the little black cat by the scruff of its neck and pulled it away from his chest.

Yours!

The little black cat bared its fangs at Zhou Cheng and cried out in dissatisfaction.

Zhou Cheng was surprised to see that the pads on its paws were not black like other black cats, but a soft pink, so he touched it.

The little black cat was screaming fiercely just a second ago, but now the sound stopped abruptly. It opened its mouth slightly and looked at Zhou Cheng in surprise with its big eyes.

"The nose is pink too."

Zhou Cheng tapped the little black cat's nose again, put it on the table, and picked up his phone again.

"Good morning, Dr. Zhou. How can I help you?" The private butler answered the phone immediately.

"Well, good morning. A kitten ran onto my terrace. I have to go out now. Please take care of it." Zhou Cheng gave the order as he walked out of the bedroom and went to the cloakroom to take out a coat.

"Someone will come and take you back soon."

Zhou Cheng turned around and added something to the little black cat that was following him, then opened the door.

Su Qingyan was so upset that she wanted to cry but had no tears. It was not even 5 o'clock yet. She didn't know what Zhou Cheng was in such a hurry to go out for. Was he really going to look for her?

He continued to follow Zhou Cheng closely, even grabbing his trouser legs and climbing up his trousers.

"Stop, don't follow me." Zhou Cheng's expression became more and more serious, even a little angry.

Su Qingyan was most afraid of Zhou Cheng's expression. It seemed that he couldn't do it by force, so he could only use a roundabout way to save the country.

Zhou Cheng watched as the little black cat obediently jumped off his lap and sat upright, its tail wrapped around its feet. The kitten opened its mouth slightly, letting out a few faint purrs from its throat. It raised its head with an effort, its amber eyes still watery, and then it lifted its paw and licked it with its pink tongue.

A terrifying, right-in-the-heart feeling.

Zhou Cheng felt that he was really crazy for being attracted to a little kitten. He immediately forced himself to put aside all these messy thoughts, opened the door and walked out.

Not working?

Su Qingyan didn't expect Zhou Cheng to be so heartless. Even though she was so cute, he was still indifferent?

But he was not discouraged and quickly adapted to this body. He opened and closed the door deftly, took another elevator, and followed them to the underground garage. He wanted to see where Zhou Cheng was going in such a hurry.

Zhou Cheng moved without hesitation. He took a long step and sat in the driver's seat. He started the car, fastened his seat belt, and stepped on the accelerator in one go. He turned the steering wheel a few times with one hand and drove out of the garage. It was hard to imagine that he was still sleeping soundly just a few minutes ago.

Su Qingyan stood in the corner dumbfounded. This speed was too fast. He didn't even have a chance to slip into the car.

Just run after it, what else can you do?

Although the little black cat is not big, it runs very fast and catches up with the car in just a few steps.

A very familiar route.

After crossing the road, you will see the gate of the First Affiliated Hospital.

Didn't you react at all when I disappeared? And you're still so focused on the hospital?

Su Qingyan got angry again and arrived at the General Surgery Ward 2 even faster than Zhou Cheng.

The ward in the early morning was not as peaceful as usual, with several doctors and nurses frequently entering and leaving the ward.

"When will Director Zhou arrive?"

"I just spoke on the phone. He said he'll be there in 10 minutes. He should be here soon."

"Family, the patient's condition is not very optimistic. Elective surgery is likely to become an emergency surgery. The director will be here soon. Please notify each other as soon as possible."

The condition of this patient who came here because of its reputation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the original treatment plan had to be overturned and started over again. After hearing a brief report on the condition on the phone, Zhou Cheng told the doctor on duty to make preoperative preparations first and inform the family of the risks associated with emergency surgery.

In the busy ward, no one noticed that a little black cat took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the doctor's duty room.

After examining the patient, Zhou Cheng immediately chose an emergency surgery that required more stringent technical skills and carried a relatively higher risk. The family was also very cooperative, hoping that the patient would recover as soon as possible.

Su Qingyan walked around the empty duty room and found a warm and secluded corner. Only then did he feel like thinking about the incredible things that had happened today.

This is very wrong and not logical at all. Not to mention the fact that I turned into a cat, even if I didn't turn into a cat, Zhou Cheng would not have just left it alone if I suddenly disappeared. Was I dreaming?

The little black cat licked its paws carefully, then washed its face with its paws carefully, and its tail swung back and forth.

It was 6 o'clock in the morning, the sun had just risen, Su Qingyan felt his stomach was empty, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't think at all.

He jumped onto the table and searched for something to fill his stomach, but to his disappointment, these ignorant doctors only stocked up enough coffee and cigarettes, and no edible food at all.

Black coffee only? No milk or sugar?

Su Qingyan searched everywhere but only found a bag of 5% glucose, which was about to expire.

Drink it, it’s better than fainting from hunger.

He tore open the package with his sharp teeth and licked the sweet and astringent liquid.

After struggling for a while, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming closer.

"Isn't Zhou Cheng really too bold? He started doing it on his own without even waiting for the director?"

"Director Zhou said the situation is urgent and we can't wait any longer."

"He's really confident in himself."

Yang Luning sighed, and began to worry about what Zhou Cheng had done today. It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhou Cheng, but if anything went wrong, could he handle it?

Because the patient with this liver tumor was too young, and the tumor, which was about 10 cm in size, was located in an extremely tricky area, completely surrounding the left hepatic vein and the middle hepatic vein. This location was originally a forbidden zone for liver surgery. The original plan was to perform a tumor resection at an elective date with Li Yu and Zhou Cheng as the joint surgeons as a double insurance. However, the patient's condition suddenly changed, and the operation had to be urgently brought forward.

Li Yu is attending an academic conference in another province and will not return to Mincheng until tonight.

Yang Luning had no choice but to accept the order and rushed from home to go to the operating table with Zhou Cheng.

Su Qingyan was confused by what he heard, and finally concluded that Zhou Cheng was performing a very difficult operation.

After they left, he came out again and continued to lick the bag of glucose.

But he waited and waited, and Zhou Cheng still didn't come back. In his current condition, it was not convenient for him to show up in the hospital, so he could only continue to stay in the duty room.

"...Segments II, III, VI, and VII of the liver were preserved. The corresponding hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile duct tissue were intact, ensuring the integrity of the blood supply and return to the segment... The tumor can be removed. After dissecting the first and second portal portals, the tumor was removed in a semi-ex vivo state. The left lateral lobe of the liver was transplanted, and the left hepatic vein and left portal vein were reconstructed... Okay, Director, I'll be waiting for you."

Zhou Cheng took off his mask only after he finished talking to Li Yu on the phone in the duty room, and sat down on the chair with some fatigue.

It is now past 11 o'clock. After a 5-hour operation, the patient is temporarily out of danger and the operation was very successful.

Su Qingyan stuck his head out and looked at Zhou Cheng in fascination.

It's hard not to be moved.

A highly intelligent man in surgical gown walks off the operating table like he's leaving the battlefield, carrying with him the remaining hormones from his battle with death.

Perhaps because he was too fascinated by what he saw, Zhou Cheng keenly noticed the burning gaze and looked up to find the little black cat peeking out.

"Why did you follow me?" He quickly stood up and grabbed the kitten by the scruff of its neck before it could retreat. "This is a hospital. You can't just run away."

Zhou Cheng originally wanted to ask the housekeeper to come and take the kitten away, but when he looked at the time, he realized that he still had time to go home, so he didn't bother anyone else.

He put the kitten in his arms, put on his coat and left the duty room.

"Zhou Cheng, I ordered lunch. Would you like to eat together?" Yang Luning stopped Zhou Cheng when he saw him about to leave.

"You guys eat, I'm going home and will be back soon." Zhou Cheng nodded and walked towards the elevator.

"Teacher Yang, when will you buy a luxury house in Jinghu? Let me see the world." Yang Luning's graduate student whispered to him.

"You buy it, I also want to see the world." Yang Luning glanced at the student and said sarcastically.

Zhou Cheng met the butler who had been waiting for a long time in the lobby on the first floor and took out the little black cat from his arms.

"Can you help me find out whose house it was lost from?"

The housekeeper took the little black cat, but before he could answer, he was bitten hard.

A kitten's bite doesn't hurt, but it certainly won't be comfortable.

The butler's well-trained expression remained calm.

Zhou Cheng! You're just going to hand me over to someone else like that? Don't drive me crazy!

The little black cat struggled hard in the housekeeper's hands. Its limbs seemed to be equipped with springs, small but powerful. Every kick was an attempt to find a gap to escape. Its body seemed to have turned into a small fish, wagging its tail hard, trying to swim upstream to regain its freedom.

It opened its mouth slightly towards the butler, revealing a row of tiny but sharp baby teeth. The teeth glowed slightly white in the sunlight, like small daggers ready to strike.

Zhou Cheng frowned when he saw the kitten's strong reaction.

"Doctor Zhou, don't worry. This cat is too small and a little stressed. It will be fine once it finds its owner." The housekeeper applied a little force with his hands, causing the little black cat to whine.

Zhou Cheng's brows furrowed even more tightly.

The little black cat looked at him pitifully, its eyes moist and filled with tears.

Zhou Cheng didn't hesitate any longer and reached out to take the little black cat. The screaming and wailing stopped then.

"Go find the master first, and tell me when you find him."

Su Qingyan did not pretend to be pitiful this time. He was really pitiful. It seemed as if all the bones in his body were crushed. He curled up in Zhou Cheng's arms and groaned in pain.

"Alright, alright."

Zhou Cheng stroked the kitten's wrinkled fur, and the kitten licked his fingers as if to please him.

After returning home, Zhou Cheng put the kitten on the floor and changed into his slippers. He looked up and saw it running into the bedroom, so he quickly followed it.

When they reached the bedroom, the kitten had already jumped onto the bed with ease and lay on Su Qingyan's pillow.

"Come down, that's not the place for you." Zhou Cheng was helpless with this strange and self-familiar kitten.

Su Qingyan had just laid down on her bed and before she had time to enjoy herself, Zhou Cheng picked her up again.

But he didn't resist. After all, Zhou Cheng's arms were more comfortable than his own bed.

"I have to go to work soon, so you stay home and wait for your master to pick you up."

Zhou Cheng carried the kitten to the kitchen, took out a can of milk from the refrigerator, heated it up and poured it into a plate.

The little black cat buried its head in the plate and drank it all in one breath. When it looked up again, its mouth, nose and whiskers were all stained with milky white milk stains.

Zhou Cheng considerately took a tissue and wiped the kitten's mouth. Seeing that it was so obedient, his heart softened and he tried hard to restrain himself from kissing its pink little nose.

"Are you a brother or a sister?"

The little black cat followed Zhou Cheng to the kitchen like a puppy, jumped lightly onto the sink, and rubbed his arm gently while he was washing dishes. When he heard what he said, he tilted his head in confusion.

Seeing that the kitten was so well-behaved, Zhou Cheng wiped his hands, picked it up, and then looked at the key parts.

you……

After the little black cat understood Zhou Cheng's intention, it twisted its body desperately. If it wasn't completely black, its face would have turned red by now.

"It's my younger brother."

After Zhou Cheng put the kitten down, the kitten slapped the back of his hand a few times with its little paws in dissatisfaction.

You are such a pervert, looking at others so casually?

"I'm leaving, you stay at home."

Zhou Cheng gently pushed the kitten away, but he stuck to him again.

"Didn't you hit me just now? Why did you change your attitude so quickly?"

The kitten ignored his teasing and climbed up his arm to his chest. It squinted its eyes and stepped on his pectoral muscles with its little paws with an expression of enjoyment.

Zhou Cheng wanted to take it off himself, but when he saw the kitten's expression that said "please let me step on it for a while", he softened his heart and didn't stop him.

This kitten is so tiny, it must not be weaned yet, right?

Su Qingyan knew that Zhou Cheng was a soft-hearted person, so she tried all kinds of ways to act coquettishly, hoping that he would keep her by his side all the time.

Zhou Cheng stroked the kitten's head again and again. The kitten was now full and satisfied, and was snoring comfortably with its eyes closed. Soon it became drowsy, and the movements of its paws became slow, but it never stopped.

"I'll bring you mooncakes when I get back in the evening. Go to sleep."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhou Cheng put the kitten on the sofa and placed a few cushions next to it to make a simple cat bed.

moon cake?

Su Qingyan's mind was as confused as a ball of paste, and then he fell asleep.

"It's still early, you should sleep a little longer."

Zhou Cheng said to Su Qingyan who was sitting up in confusion while putting on his clothes.

"I'll bring you mooncakes when I get back in the evening. Go to sleep."

Um?

When Su Qingyan heard the familiar words, he finally came to his senses. He quickly raised his hand to look. It was not the little black claw, but his own body.

"Zhou Cheng, where are you going?"

He asked quickly.

"Go to the hospital, there's a patient who needs to be treated."

Zhou Cheng spoke a little hurriedly, but still walked over while buttoning his clothes, and bent down to kiss Su Qingyan's forehead.

"It's a little tricky, it might take a while."

"Semi-ex vivo liver tumor resection and autologous liver transplantation?" Su Qingyan suddenly remembered this sentence he had heard.

Zhou Cheng paused and looked at Su Qingyan's still sleepy eyes in confusion.

"The operation will be very successful. I want to eat coconut mooncakes." Su Qingyan said as he grabbed Zhou Cheng's chest a few times.

Zhou Cheng didn't have time to ask Su Qingyan why he suddenly mentioned the procedure he was going to perform on the patient. He left after saying "Let's talk about it when you come back".

Su Qingyan lay in bed and thought for a long time. He felt that the fact that he turned into a cat could not be explained by a dream. Maybe he happened to travel to a parallel time and space?

Because he was hungover the night before, it was only a little after 4 a.m., and he soon fell asleep again with a dizzy head.

Zhou Cheng's operation was indeed as Su Qingyan said, very smooth. After more than 5 hours of bold and careful operation, the patient's vital signs were stable and he was sent back to the ward.

Zhou Cheng declined to have lunch with his colleagues in the department, went to a dessert shop outside the hospital, bought two boxes of mooncakes, and then hurried back home.

Su Qingyan was lying on the bed fiddling with her cell phone. When she saw Zhou Cheng coming back, she immediately sat up.

"So soon? How was the surgery?"

"Thank you for your good wishes." Zhou Cheng opened the mooncake box and took out a piece of coconut mooncake.

"Can I eat in bed?" Su Qingyan felt it was a little unbelievable that Zhou Cheng actually took the initiative to let her eat in bed.

"Eat, drink less next time, and go home early."

Zhou Cheng rubbed his soft hair and walked over to heat a cup of milk for him.

Su Qingyan took the cup, took another bite of the mooncake, and said with a satisfied expression, his hands were touching Zhou Cheng's chest dishonestly. After the incredible experience of turning into a cat, he is now very obsessed with Zhou Cheng's chest muscles.

"Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, and you have to drink with Dad in the evening. Why don't you make good use of your energy to recuperate?" Zhou Cheng saw that Su Qingyan had other thoughts, and thinking that he had to go back to the hospital soon, he found an excuse to get away with it.

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say." Su Qingyan smiled and continued, "Life is so wonderful now. I don't want to turn into a kitten anymore."
