Chapter 3

Thanks to the good sound insulation of this house, even though there was such a big commotion, it didn't alarm the neighbors and they came to look for property.

After comforting Xiao Hei, Wen Xin began to examine its body.

The black cat ball turned into a giant monster. The opponent's body was no longer hot, but abnormally cold. I wonder if it was a case of things going to the opposite extreme.

In this case, the medicine obviously cannot be used indiscriminately.

Wen Xin had reserved the pet doctor's phone number, but he also understood that if he told others about the situation at the scene, he would most likely be suspected of having mental problems.

Touching Xiao Hei's shivering scales, he took the heater out of the cabinet.

The warm light shining on my body instantly drove away the coldness of the rainy night.

There was a hint of confusion in Xiao Hei's eyes, which were filled with pain.

It seemed that it had never felt such warmth before. The most profound memory was the several cold and solid alloy walls that imprisoned it like a cage. It was airtight on all sides and was powered by high-voltage electricity. Just a touch would make it lose consciousness and its scales explode with pain.

After a moment of silence, the monster raised his head and looked at Wen Xin's smooth jawline.

It reflected the gentleness that the other person inadvertently revealed in its pupils, and was slightly absent-minded.

In addition to the abnormal body temperature, Xiao Hei also had many wounds of varying sizes on his body.

Without the thick hair to block it, the numerous scars were revealed. Some had already closed and scabbed, while others had become bloody and mangled from repeated grinding.

Wen Xin's eyes darkened and darkened.

Because among these ugly wounds, he found marks left by heels and burns from electric shocks.

"What on earth have you been through..." he couldn't help muttering.

Xiao Hei didn't respond to him.

At first, it felt awkward because of the warm touch, but after a while, it began to enjoy the other's gentle comfort and made a low, hoarse purring sound, almost like a sigh.

It looks like a big black cat with its fur smoothed out.

Seeing it like this, Wen Xin, who had a serious look on his face, couldn't help but soften his expression.

He gave up on revisiting Xiao Hei's seemingly miserable past, and soothed the powerful and huge body, coaxing it softly: "Be good."

This was another sentence that made the monster relax.

Even though its face was still cold and fierce, it followed the other party's instructions and raised its claws and body.

The scabbed wounds were fine, but the ones that were still bleeding couldn't be left alone.

Wen Xin brought warm water, wet the towel, and cleaned the dirt around Xiao Hei's wound. Then he took out the ointment, applied only a small part, and observed the situation.

He timed it and waited for a while, making sure the bleeding had stopped and that there would be no negative effects before he continued.

Xiao Hei refused to let him touch the area on his abdomen, but Wen Xin did not force him when he saw that the wound had begun to heal.

Even so, the opponent's overly large body still made treating injuries a small matter a physically demanding task. Wen Xin estimated that among land animals, only an adult elephant could compete with Xiao Hei.

Inevitably, he thought of the problem of appetite... the bag of cat food cans that he thought was sufficient seemed not enough for Little Black to fill his teeth?

Wen Xin did not stop until late at night.

During the whole process, the monster tilted its head for a long time, quietly watching him apply medicine to his wounds.

Finally, Wen Xin was sweating all over. He wrapped his bandaged arm with plastic wrap and went to the bathroom despite his tiredness.

When he finished his shower and returned to the room, Xiao Hei's pain seemed to have eased and his body stopped shaking.

The latter swung its thick tail in front of it, crossed its forearms, curled up into a round ball, closed its eyes, and looked like it was going to sleep.

Wen Xin whispered good night, turned off the light, and went to bed.

His tired and sore body touched the soft bed, and he relaxed instantly.

However, the comfort I felt physically could not soothe my tangled thoughts.

Wen Xin closed his eyes, thinking about what to do in the future.

He suddenly heard some rustling sounds, and then he felt something cold and hard like scales on his elbow.

Wen Xin opened his eyes immediately.

He tilted his head and saw Xiao Hei quietly leaning his head against the bed. When he was discovered, he raised his round eyes and stared at him. Even though the room was dark, the golden color could not be blocked.

Following his heart, he placed his hand on the other's head.

Wen Xin's palm was the size of a normal adult, but it looked small next to the monster's huge head.

The black ball, who always liked to stand on high ground and look at people, did not hide. He just froze for a moment and then relaxed.

Seeing Xiao Hei like this, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't touched at all.

Wen Xin propped up his upper body, put his face against Xiao Hei's big head, touched its scales, and whispered, "Be good, Xiao Hei."

The monster tensed up.

Part of it was that he had never been so close to anyone, or even any living thing.

Another reason is that it is aware of the gap between itself and humans, and is afraid that its own strength may accidentally crush the other party.

Wen Xin was really sleepy and fell asleep soon.

There was heavy rain outside the window and strong winds were blowing, making the branches of the trees sway to and fro.

The house was warm, quiet and comfortable with the heater on.

In a hazy state of consciousness, Wen Xin felt like he was resting his head on a large moving stone. He wanted to escape from under him several times, but when it stuck too close, he would even let out a dissatisfied growl.

But the stone did not forcefully push him away.

So Wen Xin reached out his hand and gently patted the big rock until the hard surface of the rock began to soften and turned into a fluffy cloud to support him.

He couldn't help but laugh, and imitated the way Tang Qi treated the kitten Huanhuan, kissing the softened stone as a reward.

After that, Wen Xin fell into a deep sleep, not knowing that the monster Xiao Hei was petrified by his sudden action and remained motionless for half the night.

The next day the weather cleared up, the afterglow of the morning sun shone on the earth, and the air became fresher.

People gradually walked onto the half-dried streets, and groups of small animals came out to play. Sparrows stood on the branches, lazily shaking their fluffy feathers.

It was almost ten o'clock when Tang Qi guessed that Wen Xin had woken up, so he went to visit her with a fruit basket.

As a result, when the door opened, a sleepy and haggard face was revealed.

Tang Qi blurted out: "Did you not sleep well?"

Wen Xinman was busy until late last night and only slept for three hours. He nodded when he heard this.

Seeing this, Tang Qi decided not to disturb them for too long, so he handed the fruit basket to Wen Xin and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he mentioned the accident of the kitten Huanhuan climbing out of the window yesterday, and he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"I went back and checked the surveillance video. It wasn't me or my mom who opened the window. It was just him. I had locked the door, but he was smart enough to pry it open with his claws!"

Tang Qi gritted his teeth when he said this, but at the end he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This troublesome little fellow, I don't know if he saw me opening the window a few times before, and he secretly learned how to open it."

"I ordered window sealing materials online, and as soon as the express delivery arrived, I sealed the windows immediately to see how it would move."

Wen Xin's expression changed when he heard this.

If I remember correctly, when he was picking up the medicine and returning to the bedroom last night, Xiao Hei was also staggering towards the window, trying to leave.

He said hesitantly, "Can you send me a link to buy window sealing materials?"

When Tang Qi heard this, he turned around and was instantly surprised: "You have a cat too?"

No one would damage windows for no reason. Only families with pets or children would consider sealing windows.

Tang Qicai came to Wen Xin's house yesterday. It was so deserted that it didn't seem like there was anyone else living there. Compared to getting married and having children, it was more likely that the couple had a pet.

As a fellow poop scooper, Tang Qi had no other thoughts. He treated Wen Xin as a new friend and was simply happy to have a common hobby with his friend.

Wen Xin's thoughts went back to a few minutes ago.

When Tang Qi came knocking on the door in the morning, Xiao Hei had already returned to his furry form. He had just woken up and moved his arm, and the other person slipped out from under his palm, so fast that he left an afterimage.

Now, whenever he turned around, he could see the black ball lying on the cabinet, with half of his face buried, revealing a pair of golden pupils, looking down at him quietly.

Thinking of this scene, Wen Xin didn't know why he wanted to laugh and nodded: "I guess so."

Tang Qi was very curious about what kind of pet Wen Xin had, but when he saw the dark shadows under his eyes and felt so sleepy that his eyelids were trembling, he gave up the idea of ​​chatting.

He took out his phone and said excitedly, "Okay, let's add each other's contact information first, and I'll send you the link when I get back."

Tang Qi said that the window sealing material will take about four days to arrive. It is a kind of protruding thick wire mesh. The material is strong and feels smooth and round. There is no need to worry about hurting the cat's claws, and it can also prevent thieves.

Wen Xin bought the expedited service and it arrived in about two days.

At that time, the half-trampled table and the cat litter in the bedroom were cleaned out, and Wen Xin bought a new big cat litter, but Xiao Hei didn't want to stay there.

The black ball seemed to have regarded the top of the cabinet as a temporary shelter and now lay on it. His golden eyes were filled with cool light as he watched him knocking on the window without saying a word.

When Wen Xin didn't speak, it looked aloof, not actively approaching him, and refusing to let anyone hug it, as if the monster that actively leaned against his bed on a rainy night was just an illusion.

But both the man and the pet knew clearly that it was not fake, because at night, Xiao Hei would still undergo strange changes uncontrollably.

Whenever that happened, no matter how busy he was, Wen Xin would stop and stay with it until Xiao Hei calmed down a little, then he would gently hold it in his arms and caress its body that was trembling with pain.

He asked Hei about the cause of the change, hoping to find a way to help alleviate the pain, but the other party either turned a deaf ear to him or jumped onto the cabinet to escape.

After a few times, Wen Xin saw the hatred buried deep in Hei Tuanzi's heart, as well as the lingering pain.

This hatred and pain was not directed at him. A little speculation suggested that it was related to the cause of the other party's mutation.

If the past experiences are unbearable to look back on, no one will want to recall them.

From then on, Wen Xin never questioned Xiao Hei again.

The window frames for the bedroom, the secondary bedroom and the balcony have been installed.

Wen Xin let out a long breath and moved the remaining materials to another place.

Seeing Wen Xin sweating profusely after such a small amount of activity, Xiao Hei instantly refreshed his understanding of the weakness of humans, and his expression was a bit indescribable.

There were too many materials and they had to be moved several times. Wen Xin began to pant.

Xiao Hei couldn't help it, so he jumped down from the cabinet and walked all the way to him.

"Meow?" Do you think a wire fence like this can stop me?

After spending some time in human society, it got used to disguising itself as a cat and also got used to meowing like a cat.

Wen Xin had been with it for two days. Due to the language barrier, they had developed some physical rapport. He just stopped and looked at Tuanzi for a while, and he roughly understood what it meant.

"I'm not trying to stop you with this. If you want to go out, I'll open the door for you."

Xiao Hei has been in the community for a long time and has never eaten anyone, let alone hurt anyone. At most, he is a little withdrawn, so Wen Xin feels more at ease letting him go out.

The most important thing is that the other person has independent consciousness and personality, which cannot be sealed in a house.

Xiao Hei tilted his head to look at the wire mesh: "Meow." What's the point of this?

Wen Xin: "It's drop-proof."

Xiao Hei curled his lips, feeling that Wen Xin was not telling the truth.

Wen Xin calmly lowered his head and looked at it: "Even if you are big, it will still hurt if you fall."

Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment.

Wen Xin rubbed its fluffy little head, looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so he got up and prepared dinner.

"What would you like to eat today? How about fried eggs?"

Xiao Hei is not a real cat. Cat canned food is fine, but he won’t even touch cat food.

Wen Xin also spent a few meals thinking about it before he realized that it only ate meat.

Xiao Hei moved his ears.

Looking back at Wen Xin's slender figure busy in the kitchen, it paced into the bedroom, stretched out its tail, rolled up the remaining materials, and moved them to the place where they needed to be installed.

After doing all this silently, it returned to the kitchen door and once again stared at it in a daze for a long time.

After spending a few days together peacefully, Xiao Hei, who was dozing on the cupboard, suddenly felt a strange and dangerous aura less than ten miles away.

This aura cannot be felt by humans, but it is extremely familiar - it is a aura that belongs only to the same kind.

It's not a coincidence, nor is it just passing by.

The other side has been approaching it.

In an instant, Xiao Hei opened his eyes, with a ferocious and cold light in them.
