21 Chapter 21: Crush turns into a licking dog
◎Stuttering, blushing, heartbeating◎
Wu Yahua was very sure that she had once turned into Xie Yun's cat. After she woke up as a human, she was holding a cat collar tag engraved with Xie Yun's mobile phone number in her hand. This was one of the evidences.
As long as Xie Yun admitted now that he had a cat named Goudan, Wu Yahua would have one more piece of evidence. Then she would be sure that her memory was correct, Chen Xi existed, her parents did not divorce, and her grandmother passed away a few years ago.
It's not her brain that's wrong, it's the world that's wrong.
Xie Yun suppressed his inner excitement, tried his best to appear calm, and asked Wu Yahua in return.
"How did you know I had a cat named Goudan? I stayed on campus during the summer break and don't remember running into you."
Lin Yaonan stood in front of the two men holding the green plant, trying to figure out why Xie Yun knew his mobile phone number, why he called him to ask about the cat, and why he also knew his name.
When Lin Yaonan heard the two people talking about cats, he was overwhelmed.
He shook his head.
Why is it the cat again? How important is this cat?
Lin Yaonan didn't want to discuss the cat. He couldn't understand the tricks of the two college students. He hugged the green plant tightly and left, looking back every few steps.
They both let Lin Yaonan leave. Now, there is only room for each other in their eyes.
When asked back by Xie Yunyi, Wu Yahua stuttered, blushed and her heart beat fast, and she was worried about her own carelessness.
That's right. Xie Yun stayed on campus during the summer, and I wasn't there. Logically, I wouldn't have known that Xie Yun had a cat. How could I explain this lie to Xie Yun? Wu Yahua racked her brains.
"I... I... I..." The rusty and slow-reacting brain finally had a light bulb, giving Wu Yahua a good excuse to cover up the lie.
"It was Xie Lili. Yes, it was Lili who told me that you had a cat."
Wu Yahua remembered that after she turned into a cat, she went to Xie Lili in the middle of the night to ask for help. She wanted to tell Xie Lili that she had turned into a cat, but she woke up Chen Xi and was kicked out of the dormitory.
When Xie Lili was leaving school with her suitcase the next day, Wu Yahua ran to intercept her, and then Xie Yun, who was looking for the cat, appeared.
Xie Lili and Xie Yun were fighting for Wu Yahua who had turned into a cat. The two argued for a few words, and Wu Yahua bit Xie Lili's hand, changed sides and stayed with Xie Yun.
Xie Lili knew that Xie Yun had raised a cat during the summer vacation at school. She and Xie Lili were good friends. Wu Yahua learned about Xie Yun's cat through Xie Lili's mouth. She thought this was a perfect excuse.
After pushing Xie Lili out, Xie Yun didn't ask any further questions.
It is indeed possible that Xie Lili told Wu Yahua about this, and Xie Yun had nothing to doubt, provided that Xie Lili remembered the cat.
【Remember Goudan? 】
Xie Lili put on her facial mask at night and lay on the bed ready to read a novel when she received a WeChat message from Xie Yun.
It's so rude, you don't even call me sister.
Xie Lili swiped away the message and did not reply to Xie Yun.
And who is Goudan? Xie Lili pushed her glasses up and half-closed her eyes as she thought, "Is this the nickname of some cocky little boy?"
Two hours after the message was sent, Xie Lili had not replied. For the first time in his life, Xie Yun could no longer sit still. He carefully selected the cutest photo of Goudan and sent it to Xie Lili.
After receiving the cat photo sent by Xie Yun, Xie Lili was speechless.
What the hell is going on with this loading?
Xie Lili smoothed her hair and sent a question mark.
Xie Yun: You don’t remember this cat, right?
It turns out that the cat is called Goudan.
You're crazy! Why are you asking yourself if you remember this cat so late at night?
Xie Lili sent a message.
Is this cat yours?
Hope rose in Xie Yun's eyes, thinking that Xie Lili remembered the cat.
Yes, you remember?
It seems that Xie Yun is really mentally disturbed. Xie Lili scratched her hair and replied to the message.
[What do you want? Your cat is turning one, and you want to treat me to a birthday party?]
Xie Yun didn't want to beat around the bush with Xie Lili and asked her if she remembered the cat.
This annoyed Xie Lili. She didn't know what Xie Yun meant, and kept asking herself if she remembered the cat.
"I don't know, Xie Yun, what do you mean? Are you showing off that you have a cat? I have two cats at home."
[You don't know? Think about it carefully. You left school before summer vacation, and you did see this cat.]
When had she seen this cat before leaving school last semester? Xie Lili tried hard to recall that before leaving school for summer vacation last semester, she carried her suitcase from the sixth floor to the first floor. She was so tired that she bought a bottle of drink from the vending machine on the first floor of the girls' dormitory.
She thought about every detail, but she didn't remember that she had met a cat.
When passing the fountain square, she met Wu Yahua who was waiting for the campus bus.
Xie Lili stopped and chatted with Wu Yahua for a while until the campus bus arrived. She watched Wu Yahua get on the bus, then left the school gate and took a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
After experiencing Hong Cangkang and others, as well as Lin Yaonan denying the existence of the cat, Xie Yun knew that the cat must not exist in Xie Lili's memory.
Even if the cat really appears in their lives, and they have seen and touched the cat with their own eyes, the memory of the cat will eventually disappear from their minds.
Xie Yun continued to say to Xie Lili, if you don’t remember this cat, then why did you mention to Wu Yahua that I had this cat?
When had she told Wu Yahua that Xie Yunyou had a cat named Goudan? Xie Lili frowned, her eyes moving back and forth.
[Xie Yun, I didn't tell Wu Yahua that you have a cat, so I've never seen this cat. But I heard from Wu Yahua that you went to the hospital to see a psychiatrist. If the pressure from your studies and life is too great, I suggest you take a leave of absence from school and stay in a mental hospital for a while to recuperate. I will keep this a secret from your aunt.]
After this conversation with Xie Lili, Xie Yun was able to confirm three things.
The first thing is that Goudan Cat has indeed disappeared from Xie Lili's memory.
The second thing is that currently only Wu Yahua has the memory of that cat.
The third thing is that Wu Yahua did not know about the cat from Xie Lili, but Wu Yahua knew that Xie Lili had seen the cat, but Wu Yahua did not know that Xie Lili no longer had the cat in her memory.
Xie Yun speculated that his memory partially overlapped with Wu Yahua's, and that part of the overlapping memory was about the cat.
No wonder he dreamed of Wu Yahua so frequently. It turned out that there was some connection between him and Wu Yahua. Although Xie Yun couldn't figure out what this connection was for the time being, it gave Xie Yun a sense of redemption, as if he was wandering around in a dark room, accidentally turning on the light, and the world came into light.
Everyone had forgotten the cat, and Xie Yun fell into a desperate situation of doubting his life. It was Wu Yahua who brought him the memory of the cat and gave him hope.
It wasn't a relapse of childhood psychological trauma, nor was it the unsatisfactory competition results that caused him to be unable to bear the pressure.
He was not mentally ill, he believed 100% that he had indeed kept a cat.

"The pickled cabbage in the cafeteria today is tasteless. The chef must have omitted any salt when making it."
Wu Yahua commented on this after picking up a piece of pickled cabbage from the plate with chopsticks and putting it into her mouth.
"Have you and Xie Yun been in frequent contact recently?" Xie Lili picked up a piece of pickled cabbage from Wu Yahua's plate and tasted it.
Wu Yahua reached into Xie Lili's plate with her chopsticks, picked up a piece of her braised pork and ate it, answering the question irrelevantly, "Braised pork is still delicious."
Xie Lili looked at Wu Yahua, who didn't dare to look her in the eye, and said, "There's something wrong between you and Xie Yun. I don't understand Xie Yun, and I don't want to understand a weirdo, but I've known you for two years, how can I not understand you? Tell me, what's going on? Are you chasing him, or is he chasing you?"
puff--
Wu Yahua couldn't help but spit out a few grains of rice.
Xie Lili protected her plate to avoid Wu Yahua's rice spitting attack.
"Neither of us was pursuing the other. We just happened to take the same elective course, so we chatted a little more."
"Just right?" Xie Lili was skeptical and didn't believe what Wu Yahua said.
Was it such a coincidence that, after one summer vacation, these two had more interactions than in the previous two years? First, Xie Yun took the initiative to inquire about Wu Yahua, and then Wu Yahua went to the hospital for treatment and ran into Xie Yun, who was also there.
The most recent time was when Xie Yun asked Xie Lili about Wu Yahua and the cat.
cat?
Is this cat a real cat? Or is it a metaphor for something else? Xie Lili looked at Wu Yahua with growing distrust, convinced she was hiding something.
Xie Lili: "You'd better confess, otherwise I'll ask Xie Yun."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone sat down next to Wu Yahua.
"What do you want to ask me?"
In a blink of an eye, Wu Yahua and Xie Lili saw Xie Yun carrying a plate of rice and vegetables and sitting down next to Wu Yahua.
Both looked stunned.
Wu Yahua was surprised and wondered where this person came from?
Xie Lili was shocked. These two people were secretly doing this behind her back, and the progress of their relationship was far beyond her imagination.
We have to give the young couple some space to be alone.
"I, I'm full, you guys take your time." Xie Lili felt jealous and blamed Wu Yahua and Xie Yun for being together without telling her. She picked up the unfinished plate and left.
Seeing Xie Lili leave, Wu Yahua hurriedly stood up and picked up the plate that she had also eaten half a bite of and chased after Xie Lili, "Wait for me, don't leave me alone."
After taking a few steps, I remembered that I forgot to say goodbye to Xie Yun.
Wu Yahua held the dinner tray and looked back at Xie Yun.
Xie Yun sat at the dining table, smiled and waved to Wu Yahua.
It took Wu Yahua three hours to explain and assure Xie Lili that she and Xie Yunqing were innocent, and they were not even friends, let alone lovers.
The two of them were not involved in any affair and were not in a relationship.
Xie Lili temporarily believed Wu Yahua's explanation.
The next morning at 8 o'clock, Wu Yahua and Xie Lili walked out of the girls' dormitory and saw Xie Yun standing there waiting for them.
Wu Yahua whispered to Xie Lili, "Who is Xie Yun waiting for? Why is he standing guard so early?"
A few seconds later, Xie Yun saw Wu Yahua in the crowd, waved at her and called out, "Wu Yahua."
Wu Yahua's three-hour explanation to Xie Lili yesterday vanished in an instant.
Xie Lili: "Didn't you say there was nothing between you and him? Why would he be waiting for you at the door of the girls' dormitory?"
“I…I…”
How would I know? Wu Yahua had no idea and was out of touch with the situation.
The former crush suddenly changed his nature and became a bootlicker chasing after her. Wu Yahua didn't even dare to dream about such a thing, let alone it happening in real life.
