After placing the cat on the bedside table and changing out of his pajamas, Yan Anqing rubbed the cat's head. Then he yawned and got into bed. He covered himself with the quilt, put his head on the pillow and fell asleep.
Yun Jian pricked up his cat ears and meowed softly, asking about the situation near the cat toys.
[No one was seen coming. The psychic who could control the gray fog passed by the iron net once, found nothing, and quickly returned the same way.]
Cat Toy finished his report and tried to persuade Yun Jian again.
[Why don't you just stay here for one night? Or a few days. Anyway, your friend seems to be planning to support you for a long time, and it's a good opportunity to completely separate your vest from your real identity.]
The tabby cat wagged its tail.
"I will bring danger to Yan Anqing," he explained in a low voice, looking at his hind legs which were already showing signs of healing, and exhaled softly, "In another half an hour, when it is a little brighter, we will leave."
Perhaps they were already prepared to hunt the cat demon at night. The five people who were tracking him were all suitable for night combat. Whether it was the gray fog or the manipulation of insects, their abilities would be greatly weakened after the sun rose.
Besides, the Twenty-Eight Mansions would sooner or later arrest the sect members who led them away. By that time, they would be caught in a dilemma and these people might not be in the mood to chase after them.
Seeing that the kitten had made up his mind, the cat toy stopped trying to persuade him. After a while, seeing that the injured kitten was drowsy, it played a song "The Emperor Qin Inspecting His Troops" in his mind, which startled the tabby cat so much that his fur stood up and he fell to the ground with a thud.
...
...
"What are you doing, meow?"
[Just to remind you, your clothes are still in the elevator shaft, how are you going to get home?]
Yun Jian hesitated for a moment.
Of course, he could go home directly in cat form, but his control over the cat shell was not very good, and both his perception and combat were far from those in human form - otherwise, even if he was exhausted and injured before, he would not be caught so easily by an ordinary person like Yan Anqing.
Considering that there are many people outside who are eyeing the opportunity, choosing the cat form is not very reliable.
"Then I'll get some of Yan Anqing's clothes," he licked his paw and whispered, "I can't parkour naked on the rooftop, otherwise the whole dormitory will spread the news tomorrow that the Cat Man who looks like a cat demon is actually a pervert."
[No one calls you Catman except yourself.]
Cat toys are ruthless.
Yun Jian pretended not to hear it talking. He turned around to look at Yan Anqing who was soundly sleeping, walked out of the bedroom, and went to the cloakroom next to him as if he was familiar with the place.
When he came to Yan Anqing's house to play, if he occasionally drank Coke or played basketball and got his clothes dirty, he would change into shorts and a vest at his place, so he even knew clearly which cabinet contained clothes and which contained shoes.
The cat's body shape gradually changed, and in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a slender biped, standing in the middle of the cloakroom. After rummaging for a while, it took out a pair of large black shorts that looked like a rag from a pile of fancy fashionable trousers.
[Your friend's aesthetic taste is much better than yours.]
"You want me to wear shiny punk-style overalls to avoid being chased by superpowers?" Yun Jian rolled his eyes. "Besides, I have to cut the back of the pants to make the tail stick out. I can't afford to pay for those clothes that look expensive."
"You can't afford to pay for this either."
A clear voice sounded faintly behind him.
"A new Gucci model, priced at seven thousand two hundred. Are you sure you want to cut it open with scissors?"
Yun Jian was startled, his ears and tail stood up, he turned around in horror, and saw Yan Anqing leaning against the door in pajamas.
When did this guy come here!?
Yan Anqing's eyelids were drooping, as if he had not woken up yet. The corners of his lips, which were usually curved, were straightened, making him look particularly difficult to get along with. But just looking at his expressionless face, anyone would think he was very calm.
However, Yun Jian was too familiar with Yan Anqing and could easily see the guy's confusion and bewilderment from his little movements.
Yan Anqing covered his eyes: "...Pull up your pants first."
Yun Jian was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the wall to crawl into. He quickly put on his pants and said, "I'm sorry. I will compensate you for your clothes."
He paused, and seeing that Yan Anqing had no intention of letting him go and was still staring at him with burning eyes, he had to briefly tell him what happened tonight: "A superpower organization wanted to capture me for experiments, and I escaped here in the form of a cat, and you picked me up and brought me home. I'm leaving now, and I promise not to cause you any trouble."
Yan Anqing frowned slightly, glanced at Yun Jian's injured right leg, and then raised his chin: "How do I know you will compensate me for my clothes? What if you refuse to pay?"
"I won't," Yun Jian scratched his ear, thinking of his pitiful pocket money, and his voice became smaller involuntarily, "It may be a little later, or do you mind paying in installments?"
He felt sad for a few seconds because he was about to lose his lunch money and had to wait to go home hungry, and then he heard Yan Anqing snort: "Of course I mind."
"How about this," he smiled, "you pay with your body."
Yun Jian’s eyes widened, as if facing a formidable enemy, and he took several steps back.
What's going on? How come he never knew Yan Anqing had this habit? !
Seeing Yun Jian's strange expression, Yan Anqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that his statement was ambiguous, and couldn't help but blush: "What are you thinking! I asked you to be my bodyguard!"
Yun Jian rubbed his nose with his fingers and explained helplessly: "I have made a lot of enemies outside. Being your bodyguard will only bring danger."
[When did you make so many enemies? Isn't it just a crappy organization that wants to use you for research that's chasing you?]
Cat Toy couldn't help but ask.
After I recover from my injuries tomorrow, I will send all the people from that crappy organization to the Twenty-Eight Mansions. Naturally, I will make more enemies, Yun Jian thought. However, he did not say it out loud because Yan Anqing was still beside him.
"It's okay, you can protect me secretly," Yan Anqing tilted his head and shrugged indifferently, "Besides, I'm the only one in my family anyway, so it doesn't matter if there's any danger."
Yun Jian stared at him disapprovingly.
"Anyway, you are not allowed to leave now," Yan Anqing felt guilty after being looked at. He thought of a good friend of his who always blamed him for not taking care of his body for this kind of thing. So he put his hands on his hips and said, "I just spent several thousand to buy cat supplies for you! If you want to leave, you have to compensate me with a tabby cat first!"
[Wow.]
Cat Toy couldn't help but interject.
[Cat supplies are so expensive? How much am I worth as the most loyal subordinate of the Cat God? At least more than 10,000!]
Yun Jian: “…”
Why do you have to hang yourself on the shelf and compare prices with the goods? Isn't it better to be a cool artifact!
He sent Cat Toy to the door to guard with a headache, and he reasoned with Yan Anqing: "I can't stay here for long. If you are targeted by the superpower organization, it is possible that you will be kidnapped, mentally controlled, or even killed as a sacrifice. You know the criminal gang that was wanted a while ago, right? They are actually a group of superpowers who break the law."
Yan Anqing blinked.
Perhaps it was because the cat-eared boy in front of him was so easy to talk to and he felt inexplicably familiar. Even though he saw the cat transform into a living person, he just felt that his worldview had been refreshed, and he didn't feel any panic or fear.
But when I thought about a group of criminals with superpowers doing evil in Sufang City, the "danger" I just mentioned immediately became real.
Yan Anqing then became even more excited: "Do you need my help? Like, lure them out or something like that? My family is rich, so I'm a perfect bait!"
Yun Jian was speechless for a moment. He just wanted to take this guy out and hang him on the spire at the top of the 48th floor of Sufang Building to clear his mind.
"No need," he said unhappily, "You'll be a big help if you don't tell anyone about this."
Yan Anqing clicked his tongue and curled his lips unwillingly.
As they were talking, the sun began to rise, casting a few rays of bright white light on the window.
Yun Jian looked at the clock and saw that there was only half an hour left before his usual wake-up time. He immediately became anxious and stopped chatting with Yan Anqing: "I have something urgent to do. I have to go. I'll return the clothes to you tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the windowsill. It was Yan Anqing who reached out to stop him and handed him a white sweatshirt. Only then did he realize that he hadn't put on his shirt yet.
"You don't have to return the clothes. I don't like clothes that have been worn by others." Yan Anqing raised his head. "In this way, I don't need you to be my bodyguard. In exchange for two pieces of clothes, you can do two things for me, okay?"
Yun Jian asked cautiously: "What's the matter?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. It's definitely within your capabilities anyway. For example, you can find something to save someone, or catch a mouse or something like that," Yan Anqing gestured. Seeing Yun Jian's unhappy look, he added, "You can also use my house as a free resting place. There's plenty of food. If I'm in a good mood, I can bandage your wounds."
Yun Jian: "...Okay."
Although this guy is arrogant and loves to seek death, he is his best friend. Even if today's incident had not happened, if Yan Anqing wanted me to help him, I would not refuse.
He said no more and politely declined Yan Anqing's offer to treat his right leg injury by taking out a first aid kit from somewhere. He turned and jumped out of the window. Without even having time to go to the elevator shaft to get his clothes, he slipped into the underground garage, took a shortcut and ran out of the community from a remote corner.
Even though he never saw the super-powered person who had been chasing him, Yun Jian still walked very carefully. When he finally got home after so much trouble, there were only a few minutes left before he had to get up. This was only enough time for him to change back into cat form and use his original body to pick up all the clothes on the ground.
"It's too late to wash," he sighed, "Looks like I have to open two accounts at night, the vest one fights, and the main one washes clothes."
Fortunately, he was careful to control his tail and did not damage these ridiculously expensive pants.
The pain in his legs had eased a lot, and he was happily imagining: "Once the problem of the hellhound is solved, if I can still keep the shell of the tabby cat, I will open two accounts every day and squeeze the cat to work as a deliveryman to make money!"
Before he finished speaking, his parents knocked on the door. Yun Jian quickly controlled the tabby cat to hide in the deep of the closet again, while his real body changed clothes and ran to the door: "Wake up, wake up! Let's go eat now!"
The author has something to say:
Cat God: I gave you a cat vest with super powers, and you actually want him to deliver food! (Pointing)
——
Seeing that there are controversies in the comment section, let me explain briefly. The tabby cat here did not actually agree to Yan Anqing's two conditions in order not to return the two pieces of clothing. It's just that he didn't mind helping his friend in the identity of a tabby cat, so he agreed to Yan Anqing's somewhat outrageous deal, and he later returned the clothes.
As for why Yan Anqing proposed this condition, well, this guy is just like that. When facing unfamiliar areas, he will use very bad methods to gain a sense of security in disguise, but he has no other bad intentions. After getting along with him for a long time, he is actually a good kid. Of course, I have no problem with the little cuties complaining about it hhh (Yan Anqing:?!)
