Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Some people have been a cat once, and their whole life will be like that...
When he came outside, it was snowing heavily and the cold wind was blowing. The biting chill penetrated into his body. The drunkenness was blown away and Lu Zhiluan's eyes were much clearer now.
Thinking carefully, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary at the banquet. The most outrageous thing was asking Admiral Zhao Jing to pour a glass of water.
The heat rising in the body has not yet faded away, but has temporarily dormant, ready to come back at any time to give a heavy blow to the sober mind.
Lu Zhiluan didn't expect that this sweet fruit wine would have such a strong aftereffect. No wonder no one drank it during the entire banquet. He thought that others just didn't like drinking fruit juice.
My shoulders suddenly felt heavy, and the black coat with a faint cold wood scent blocked the raging cold, and it seemed that even the wind had become weaker.
Lu Zhiluan grabbed his coat and turned around. Jing Miao was standing behind him. The man was tall, and the bright light from the lights behind him shone over him, casting a faint shadow on his profile. His expression was hidden in the darkness. Lu Zhiluan could only see a pair of particularly bright eyes. In a trance, these eyes unexpectedly overlapped highly with the kitten's eyes before.
The Star Shuttle slowly landed in front of him. Jing Miao took two steps forward, stopped, looked sideways, and said to Lu Zhiluan, "Let's go. I'll take you back."
Lu Zhiluan pursed his lips: "I can go back by myself."
Jing Miao: "Take two steps and try it."
Lu Zhiluan was stunned for a moment, wrapped his coat tightly around him and followed. He had just taken two steps when he turned a corner. The door that should have been behind him appeared in front of him, and Jing Miao was behind him.
Lu Zhiluan blinked and said in disbelief, "Are you trapped in a wall?"
Jing Miao: “…”
Snowflakes fell silently outside the window. Canaan looked even more beautiful under the night sky. Looking down from the sky, it seemed like a mysterious kingdom built in a crystal ball.
It’s a pity that the two people on the Star Shuttle had no intention of looking outside.
One fell asleep, and the other was watching others sleep.
Twenty minutes later, the Star Shuttle stopped at the door of the apartment. Lu Zhiluan came down from it with sleepy eyes and unsteady steps.
He returned the coat to Jing Miao and shook his head to try to sober himself up. "Thank you, Admiral. I'm home. Sorry to bother you today."
Jing Miao took it and said calmly: "It's okay, don't drink so much next time."
Lu Zhiluan quietly defended himself: "I didn't want to drink, I thought it was juice."
He was a little thirsty at that time. Fang Yi and Zhang Mu were chatting enthusiastically with their classmates, so Lu Zhiluan simply went to the dining table alone. There were several kinds of drinks and alcoholic beverages on the table. He deliberately chose a glass that looked the least like alcohol. After drinking one glass, he did not taste any alcohol. It was quite delicious, so he drank a few more glasses.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. After just a short while, many snowflakes fell on both of their heads and bodies.
A snowflake landed on Lu Zhiluan's eyelashes, floating up and down as he blinked, but he seemed unaware and was still clumsily explaining that he was not an alcoholic.
Jing Miao's gaze followed silently until the snowflake slid under Lu Zhiluan's eyes, melted by his body temperature, and turned into small transparent drops of water.
Retracting his gaze, Jing Miao interrupted the drunk who was trying to explain that he was not drunk and said, "Go back and have a good rest."
Lu Zhiluan thought about it and decided that the general had sent him back after all, so he should thank him, so he invited him, "Would you like to go upstairs and have a cup of hot tea?"
Jing Miao's eyes darkened, but he did not refuse.
Only after returning to the warm house did Lu Zhiluan smell the strong smell of alcohol on himself. No wonder the first moment he opened the door, even Coal Ball was so choked that he ran away and hid under the tea table, observing secretly but did not come up to him and meow around him.
Lu Zhiluan pretended to be angry and pointed in the direction of the kitten, muttering in dissatisfaction: "You are such a heartless kitten."
Jing Miao sighed helplessly and silently turned the person in another direction, "Your cat is here."
Lu Zhiluan: “Ah…”
Fortunately, he followed others back because he was worried, otherwise Jing Miao suspected that he would not be able to find his home.
The smell of alcohol was too strong. Lu Zhiluan couldn't stand the smell on his body and planned to take a shower first. He turned to Jing Miao and said, "General, please sit for a while. I'll take a shower and change clothes."
Jing Miao nodded: "Okay."
Soon Lu Zhiluan grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom. Fortunately, nothing went wrong during the process. The sound of water was heard.
Jing Miao felt relieved and turned into the kitchen.
When Lu Zhiluan came out of the bathroom with wet hair, he ran into Jing Miao who was also coming out of the kitchen.
In his hand, he was holding a small pot, which was emitting wisps of steam.
Lu Zhiluan was puzzled: "General, are you hungry?"
Jing Miao said, "This is for you. Dry your hair first."
"OK."
Lu Zhiluan sat at the dining table and drank sobering soup made with ginger. After drinking the ginger soup, his stomach also felt warm.
In the living room, Jing Miao sat on the sofa, staring at the chubby cat on his lap.
Meiqiu was not afraid of him. Instead, he liked playing with him. He picked up a few plastic mice and stuffed them all into his mouth.
Jing Miao picked up a light-colored one without too many patterns and threw it out gently. The kitten's eyes lit up and it ran over on its short legs, picked it up, put it in his hand, and continued to stare at it.
Throw it out and pick it back.
After repeating this several times, the kitten never got tired of it. The more it played, the happier it became. The gurgling sound coming from its throat was so loud that it seemed as if there was a motorcycle race going on at home.
Jing Miao really didn’t understand what was so fun about a plastic mouse. Lu Zhiluan had insisted on letting him play with it before. Was this a compulsory course for being a cat?
When Lu Zhiluan came out after drinking the soup, he saw a man and a cat on the sofa throwing plastic mice around. Jing Miao frowned and seemed a little impatient, but he would still throw the mouse away every time and then continue to frown.
How long will this cat continue to play?
What he didn't know was that this was Coal Ball's favorite way to play, and the distance of throwing was so close that it wouldn't tire the kitten at all.
Lu Zhiluan found it funny and spoke up in time to stop this endless game, "Coal balls."
One name, two responses.
Jing Miao and the kitten looked over almost at the same time.
"Um?"
"Meow!"
Then Jing Miao realized something and was stunned, and Lu Zhiluan was also stunned.
This situation...
What to do?
His thinking speed became slow, and before he could think of how to make it right, Lu Zhiluan saw Jing Miao standing up from the sofa, holding the kitten and walking towards him.
The man's steps were obviously slow and unhurried, but for some reason, Lu Zhiluan had the illusion that he was being stared at by some kind of wild beast.
Jing Miao approached him, lowered his head slightly and asked, "Tell me, what are you thinking about now?"
Lu Zhiluan watched intently, and after realizing that the current distance was a bit dangerous, he stepped back a little and said, "I promise I won't tell anyone."
Jing Miao raised his eyebrows: "I don't think I've said I'll pursue it yet."
Lu Zhiluan responded quickly: "Then I voluntarily keep it secret."
Jing Miao could not deny it, but just stuffed the kitten in his arms to him.
The little black cat, on the other hand, had no worries at all. It raised its little paws and moved from one arms to another, purring and looking carefree.
"I'm going back."
Is this matter over?
Lu Zhiluan held the cat, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself. Should he say something else?
For example, I should sincerely apologize, I'm sorry, Admiral, I shouldn't force you, a cat, to play with a plastic mouse, I shouldn't touch you, and I shouldn't kiss you every day...
Thinking of this, Lu Zhiluan felt a surge of heat on his face. It would be strange if he said these words, right?
There are some things that may not seem like a big deal if you say them to a cat, but if you say them to a human, they may seem a bit too ambiguous.
Jing Miao looked at the person in front of him who suddenly blushed, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
After sending him to the door, Lu Zhiluan stood inside the door, raised his cat paw and waved to him, "Goodbye, General."
The coal ball in the arms also made a sound: "Meow."
Jing Miao whispered: "See you tomorrow."
The next day was a sunny day.
The snow stopped in the early morning after a night of snowing.
Lu Zhiluan climbed out of the quilt in a daze, with a splitting headache.
The retribution for the hangover has come, but I still have to go to work.
After arriving at the research institute, I found that Fang Yi and Zhang Mu, who were meerkats yesterday, had become white mushrooms in the snow outdoors today.
The two men were listless and squatted on the ground weakly.
It forms a sharp contrast with the snow deer spinning and jumping not far away.
Lu Zhiluan paused slightly, walked over, squatted, and slid into the pile of mushrooms.
The mushrooms raised their heads and said faintly, "You're here."
Lu Zhiluan was frightened by the two faces that looked as if they had been drained of their energy by a goblin. How could they look so haggard?
He asked, "How much did you drink?"
Fang Yi: "I have lost count. After you and the Admiral left, we continued. I don't know how we got home later."
Zhang Muyi said simply: "Hmm..."
Fang Yi looked at Zhang Mu with eyes that showed him concern for a fool and said, "This guy is even more drunk and has gone idiotic. All he did this morning was nod and shake his head, and he even made some strange noises."
Zhang Mu tightened his face and opened his mouth, which resulted in a series of strange gas leakage sounds.
Fang Yi shook his head: "Look, that's it."
Lu Zhiluan paused and pointed at his throat: "Are you hoarse and can't speak?"
Zhang Mu nodded suddenly, you understand me!
At the same time, he did not forget to reproach Fang Yi with his eyes. This man had come all morning and had not even noticed that he could not speak. He kept telling everyone that he had drunk too much and was stupid.
Fang Yi suddenly realized it at this moment!
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Zhang Mu expressionlessly pushed him to the snow and beat him.
Lu Zhiluan walked away silently.
After a while, the three of them continued to cosplay as mushrooms on the ground.
The sun in the sky makes people feel warm.
Fang Yi, who had been beaten honestly, shook his head to shake off the snow on his head and pointed the finger at Lu Zhiluan: "Doctor Lu, you actually know General Jing! So he was looking at you yesterday, right?"
Fang Yi gloated over the misfortune and said, "You don't know how upset those idiots from the Biology Department were when they found out yesterday. They ran away in disgrace before I could even start a fight, just like Sun Tzu."
Zhang Mu: “Hmm!” So satisfying!
Lu Zhiluan: "I met Meiqiu because of him. At present, I think we are friends."
Fang Yi: "Wow, what kind of person is that admiral in private? Don't you tremble when you talk to him?"
"As expected of the God of War of Canaan, the Admiral's aura is so terrifying. I didn't dare to look at him for too long yesterday. I always felt that I would be shot in the next second." Fang Yi felt sympathetic. He had the audacity to question the Admiral yesterday. He was indeed accomplished.
What kind of person?
Lu Zhiluan considered it again and again and gave the answer: "He is a good person."
very good.
Fang Yi was speechless: "Of course I know he is a good person, but what I mean is that the general is also very serious in private?"
"Not serious, very reliable, gentle and patient." Lu Zhiluan was frugal with his words.
Fang Yi tried to attribute these words to Jing Miao, but found that he couldn't imagine it...
But when he combined the admiral's behavior towards the drunk Dr. Deer yesterday, he suddenly found himself on the same page again.
Fang Yi: I understand.
It depends on the person.
Zhang Mu: Uh-huh (double standard)!
