Chapter 12 Lin Muci's Little Thoughts
"That's just him yelling! He's just like that, outspoken!" Lin Muci hurriedly distanced himself from the matter. "I usually call him a bastard. If you don't believe me, look at the note I left for him in my phone's address book!"
"Puchi." Gu Chaoyu finally couldn't help but laughed softly.
Lin Muci stared at him blankly. This was the first time he had seen Gu Chaoyu smile so... heartily. It was no longer a polite smile, but a genuine smile that came from the heart, with the corners of his eyes and eyebrows tinged with laughter.
The sunlight also poured in through the window at this time, falling on his superior profile, giving it a golden halo.
Lin Muci was stunned.
The little heart, which had not yet calmed down, began to beat wildly again.
[He looks so good when he smiles...]
[I give you my life! I give you my life!]
Gu Chaoyu felt better when he saw his infatuated look. He stood up, walked to Lin Muci and extended his hand.
Lin Muci shrank subconsciously.
What is he going to do? Pat my head? Or pinch my face? Ahhh, I didn't wash my face!
As a result, Gu Chaoyu's hand just gently brushed across his forehead, pressing down a strand of his raised hair.
"The porridge is getting cold, eat it quickly. I have to go back first. My new orange cat seems a little shy. I have to go back and check on him."
"I'll come over this afternoon and ask you about the precautions for raising a cat. Of course, if it's convenient for you, it would be best if you could come to my house for personal guidance."
"No problem, take care, Doctor Gu!"
After Gu Chaoyu left, the room returned to silence.
Lin Muci sat at the dining table, sipping his bowl of millet porridge, which was perfectly warm. The porridge was soft, sticky, and sweet, and a warmth spread from his stomach to his entire body.
The crazy deer in his heart finally calmed down.
He really didn't suspect I was faking a stomachache...
He also brought me breakfast...
[He was just jealous of Zhou Yang...even if it was just a little bit, but he was definitely jealous!]
He even smiled at me...
Lin Muci finished the last mouthful of porridge, holding the empty bowl, and smiled foolishly.
After washing the dishes, Lin Muci looked at the time. It was just past nine in the morning.
There are still several hours before the afternoon's "cat-raising tutorial".
[No, I need to prepare well! ]
Lin Muci immediately rushed back to the bedroom and opened the wardrobe.
As an online writer who stays at home all year round, 90% of his wardrobe is loose and comfortable T-shirts and sweatshirts.
[This one... is so sloppy, like I haven't woken up yet.]
[This one... is too old, and the collar is loosened by washing.]
[This... pattern is too childish, like a primary school student.]
He picked and chose in front of the wardrobe, and finally found a light camel-colored thin sweater that Zhou Yang gave him on his birthday last year and had never been worn once.
The sweater is very soft and the color is gentle, which makes his skin look whiter.
【That’s it! 】
After choosing his clothes, he ran to the bathroom and started to fix his hair in front of the mirror.
His hair was naturally a bit curly, and after one night it became even more tangled. He sprayed it with water and waxed it, and after a lot of fiddling, he finally managed to calm down those few unruly hairs for a while.
[Well, this makes me look much more energetic! ]
Wait, am I being too serious? Will he think I dressed up just to see him?
[No, no, this will reveal my true feelings! ]
[How about… should I change back into my grey sweatshirt? And mess up my hair a bit? Act like I'm not taking this meeting seriously at all?]
In Lin Muci's mind, the two villains began to debate fiercely again.
One said: "Go! Beauty is the primary productive force! Let him see how handsome you are!"
Another said: "Hold on! Don't waste time just developing! Hide yourself and be a good member of the public!"
In the end, the love of beauty defeated the inappropriate development.
After changing his clothes, Lin Muci admired his refreshed self in the mirror and even turned around proudly.
The waiting time is always extremely long.
Lin Muci paced back and forth in the living room, sometimes checking his phone, sometimes sitting in front of the computer to think about the plot of the novel, but Gu Chaoyu's face kept turning over and over in his mind.
The way he smiled, the way he frowned slightly, the gentle voice when he called her name...
【Ahhhhhhh, I'm going crazy! 】
Lin Muci covered his burning face and felt like a young girl in love, and the most useless one at that.
Finally, the clock hands on the wall slowly pointed to two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Muci took a deep breath and walked to Gu Chaoyu's door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Before I could knock a few times, the door was opened from the inside.
Gu Chaoyu, dressed in a casual light grey suit, stood tall and straight inside the doorway. The afternoon sun shone through the living room window behind him, softening and warming his cool silhouette.
"Coming?"
"Hmm..." Lin Muci nodded.
[Oh my god, why did he open the door so quickly? Has he been waiting for me?]
[His clothes look great too, they make his legs look so long...]
Gu Chaoyu moved aside and said, "Come in."
Lin Muci changed into slippers and followed him into the living room.
Then, he immediately saw the kitten lying in a corner of the sofa, looking at him warily.
"Wow, is this the cat you adopted? So cute!" he said as he slowly approached the sofa.
[Step 1 of the plan: Successfully framing the human form and the cat stand-in together!]
The "stand-in Orange" on the sofa seemed a little shy. When he saw him approaching, he stood up and backed away, making a "huffling" warning sound in his throat.
"It seems a little scared of me," Lin Muci pointed at the orange cat with its back hunched and a look that said 'don't come over here', and began his "expert guidance." "Cats that have just arrived in a new environment have an adaptation period. Don't be too anxious to get close to it. Let it get familiar with the environment first."
"Really?" Gu Chaoyu's voice came from beside him, "But I saw online that orange cats are very affectionate and especially like those who are good-looking."
Lin Muci: "..."
What does he mean?
[Is he implying that I'm not good-looking, so cats are afraid of me?!]
[Impossible! I've dressed up so carefully today! I'm incredibly handsome!]
Lin Muci felt a little hurt.
Gu Chaoyu looked at his angry but daring not to speak out, and he was already laughing in his heart.
[Just kidding, my wife is the prettiest.]
"Maybe I wasn't home this morning, leaving it alone in an unfamiliar environment, so it got scared." Gu Chaoyu took the initiative to give Lin Muci a way out. "You have a lot of experience raising cats, why don't you give it a try? See if you can make it relax a little."
"Okay, I'll try."
Lin Muci did not start directly, but first picked up a cat toy from the coffee table and gently shook it not far away from the orange cat.
The substitute cat named "Orange (No. 2)" was indeed attracted by the colorful feathers and stared at the cat toy.
Seeing this, Lin Muci moved the cat toy towards himself little by little.
The kitten hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation. It stretched out its short legs and ran after the cat toy.
