Chapter 10 Zhou Yang's Regret
"Why don't you come and greet us quickly!!"
However, what greeted him was only the coldness and darkness of the room.
Where are the people?
Zhou Yang turned on the light and walked around the room, but didn't see a single ghost.
He took out his phone and called Lin Muci, but it was turned off. He sent a message, but there was no reply.
"Damn it! Is this guy kidding me?"
Zhou Yang sat on the sofa in confusion, looking at the fat orange cat in the cat cage next to him who also had a confused look on his face, and fell into deep thought.
Where is he at this late hour? And his phone is turned off?
He thought about it and decided to wait. What if this guy really had something urgent to do?
As a result, while waiting, he fell asleep on the sofa.
…
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Gu Chaoyu's biological clock makes him wake up at six o'clock on time.
Lin Xiaomao also opened his eyes in a daze. He heard the rustling sound of someone getting dressed in the bedroom and knew that Gu Chaoyu was going out for a morning run.
The opportunity has come!
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement at the door.
When there was a slight "click" sound from the door, Lin Muci immediately jumped off the sofa and rushed to the balcony like lightning.
When he returned to his home, he had just transformed from a cat back into a human when he was shocked by the scene in the living room.
Zhou Yang was seen lying on the sofa in his house with his arms and legs spread out, sleeping soundly. There was a cat cage next to him, and a fat orange cat in the cage was looking at him vigilantly.
He walked over and nudged Zhou Yang: "Hey! Zhou Yang! Wake up!"
Zhou Yang was woken up by him and sat up with sleepy eyes: "Huh? You're back? Where did you go last night?"
"It's a long story," Lin Muci pointed at the cat cage, "Thanks, brother. I'm glad I got the cat."
"You haven't told me yet, what exactly are you going to do?" Zhou Yang yawned and looked at him with an expression of "Are you sick?"
Lin Muci swiftly carried the orange cat from the balcony to Gu Chaoyu.
Then he took a deep breath, feeling that he could no longer hide this matter from his best brother.
He lowered his voice and said in a very serious expression: "Zhou Yang, what I am about to tell you may seem absurd to you, but please believe me."
Zhou Yang looked at him with amusement at his delirious expression. "What? You're finally going to admit that you have a crush on Dr. Gu next door, and you even sent the cat you bought at a high price to his house?"
"It's much more exciting than this!" Lin Muci gritted his teeth, "Do you remember that urban legend you mentioned? The one about someone who remains single from birth until the age of 25 will gain superpowers."
Zhou Yang's expression became strange: "...Remember, what's wrong? You don't want to say...you..."
"That's right," Lin Muci nodded solemnly, "The legend is true."
The air was silent for three seconds.
"Hahahahaha!" Zhou Yang burst into laughter. "Lin Muci, have you gone crazy from writing novels? Have you been out of inspiration lately and started making fun of me? Okay, then what superpower have you gained? Can you write 10,000 yuan for each word, or can you make your editor who urges you to update disappear on the spot?"
Looking at Zhou Yang's face full of disbelief, Lin Muci became anxious.
"Everything I said is true!"
"Okay, then prove it to me!" Zhou Yang spread his hands, looking like he was enjoying a good show. "If you really have superpowers, you can transform into one right now and show me! If you can, I... I will call you daddy right there and then!"
"You said it!"
Lin Muci made up his mind, took two steps back, and stood in front of Zhou Yang.
"Watch carefully!"
He closed his eyes and concentrated.
Zhou Yang wanted to continue laughing at him, but he saw a faint halo appear around Lin Muci's body. Then, right before his eyes, a 1.8-meter-tall adult male shrank and deformed rapidly in a way that violated the laws of physics...
There was a soft "puff" sound.
Where a living person had been standing just a moment ago, there was now only a chubby orange cat left, tilting its head and looking at him with a pair of round cat eyes.
The smile on Zhou Yang's face froze for a moment.
His mouth slowly opened wider, until it was big enough for an egg to fit in.
He stretched out his hand, pointed tremblingly at the orange cat on the ground, then pointed at himself, making a "ho ho" sound in his throat, and couldn't say a word.
The orange cat on the ground seemed very satisfied with his naive appearance. It licked its paws gracefully, then carried the clothes to the room, and turned back into human form in a halo of light.
"Now, do you believe it?" Lin Muci walked out of the room and said to the idiot on the sofa.
Zhou Yang was completely dumbfounded.
He suddenly jumped up from the sofa, rushed to Lin Muci, and touched him from head to toe as if he were a monster.
"W-what the hell?! Really! It's true!"
"What the hell...what did I see? A human transformed? No, a cat transformed?!"
He spoke incoherently, paced back and forth, and finally, sat back down on the sofa.
"I've lost out!" Zhou Yang held his head and let out a desperate wail. "Why did I have to have that damn relationship at the age of 23? It only lasted three months! What a loss!"
He grabbed Lin Muci's shoulders and shook him hard, his face full of regret.
"If I had known this legend was true, I would never have told it! I will remain a virgin until I'm twenty-five! What if... what if I could become Ultraman or Gundam?!"
Lin Muci was shaken so hard that he felt dizzy: "Alright, alright! Stop shaking!"
At this moment, "Ding Dong——"
The doorbell rang.
【who? ! 】
[So early! Could it be Dr. Gu?! Didn't he go for morning exercise?!]
He tiptoed over to the peephole and looked out.
Standing under the light of the corridor was Gu Chaoyu who had just returned from morning exercise.
Gu Chaoyu was wearing a black sports suit, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and in his hand... he was holding a familiar thermal box.
[It's really Dr. Gu! Why is he here now?! And he brought porridge?!]
[I...there's another man in my room! ]
Before he could decide whether to open the door, Zhou Yang came over and prepared to open it.
"Who is it so early in the morning..."
"Don't open the door!" Lin Muci grabbed him, but it was too late.
The door was opened.
Gu Chaoyu still had a refreshing smile on his face after morning exercise, and his voice was so gentle that it could drip water: "Mu Ci, I saw that you had an upset stomach yesterday, so I brought you some millet porridge this morning. Eat it while it's hot..."
His words stopped abruptly when he saw the scene inside the house.
His gaze passed Lin Muci at the door and fell precisely on the strange man behind him, whose clothes were disheveled, hair was messy, and he was barefoot on the floor.
The temperature in the air seemed to drop several degrees at this moment.
The smile on Gu Chaoyu's face did not disappear. He raised the thermos box in his hand, and the "moisture" in his voice seemed to evaporate, becoming less gentle and more elusive.
"Who is this?"
