Chapter 32 My People Are Missing

Ning Changyue left, just as she came, simply, and she left just as simply.

When Yin Jiu returned home, he didn't notice that he was gone at first, because he would go out alone occasionally.

So after searching the house for a while and failing to find him, Yin Jiu simply took out his cell phone, opened the positioning software to check his location, and discovered that his coordinates changed very quickly, so he must be on a car.

Without thinking much, Yin Jiu sent a message: I'm home, come back early.

But from day to night, Ning Changyue didn't come back.

Yin Jiu realized something belatedly. He opened Ning Changyue's closet and found that his travel bag was missing, along with several of Yin Jiu's clothes.

"Hehe." Yin Jiu laughed out loud, but it was more like two uncontrollable gasps than laughter.

It was really hard for him not to laugh, because when he finally decided to cut himself open and try to return to normal, the person who was supposed to give him strength just left so easily.

He leaned against the closet to calm down, and said to the system: "028, open the love visual template."

The system hesitated, "Host..."

"I said, open it."

Yin Jiu's voice sounded calm, but it made the system panic for no reason. What made it even more panicked was the interface that Yin Jiu would see next.

It hesitated for too long. Yin Jiuhuan recovered from his stress, stood up straight, looked at it coldly, and said, "Don't you think you are weird? Why do you pretend to be worried about me? Shouldn't you want me to fail more than to complete the task? What? Don't you want my merits anymore?"

These words were extremely harsh to hear. Due to the surge of negative emotions, he had lost his mind and was talking without thinking.

The system was numb, so he just let it go. He opened the interface and said, "Take a look."

Yin Jiu's gaze fell on the void and could not be moved away for a long time.

The love in your heart can blossom into a flower, but if you no longer love, it will naturally wither away like a flower.

Ning Changyue, you finally found out.

After a moment of dizziness, Yin Jiu leaned against the closet and slid to the ground.

What I have been worrying about for so long has finally happened.

The dust has settled.

…

Where can I go?

This is the question Ning Changyue thinks about most often. After all, he is alone, without a home or a place to return to.

He sat in the last row of the bus, his eyes fixed on the pedestrians who were passing by. Even though he had found Yin Jiu long ago, he still couldn't change this habit. After all, he had spent half his life looking for him.

Who am I?

I'm just a cat.

He didn't know why he became a human being. He was just tired, so he took a nap, and when he woke up, he became a human being.

He didn't feel happy. How could he be happy if he didn't find his person? He didn't feel sorry for replacing someone else. He was just a cat and didn't have such complicated thoughts.

The only advantage of becoming a human is that one can go to farther places and live longer, so he can use his longer life to search for farther places.

Some people may find it strange that since you have already become an adult and have a new life, why do you still need to look for that person?

Is it that life is not wonderful enough and the world is not broad enough?

But Ning Changyue didn't think about these, he just wanted to find that person.

His people.

Half a life of pampering, half a life of exile.

These eight words are enough to summarize Ning Changyue's life as a cat.

Of course, at that time he was not called Ning Changyue, his name was Ruibao, a cat belonging to one person.

Ruibao's life span was not long, only ten years. To a human being, this would be just a child, but these ten years were its complete life from birth to death.

During the first five years of the cat's life, Ruibao never left Yin Jiuyu for a single day. They ate together, slept together, and spent five years together.

All the memories are of him.

During those five years, Yin Jiuyu never scolded it or beat it. He would only speak to it softly and gently, helplessly and tenderly, although the human language that a cat can understand is very limited.

So Ruibao always lives a very arbitrary life. Except for not being able to go out alone, his life as a cat is very happy.

It thought this would be its whole life.

But in the spring of the fifth year, Yin Jiuyu lost it.

The night before being sent away, Ruibao was playing with Yin Jiuyu's fingers as usual. Although there were many teething biscuits at home, Ruibao still liked to hold Yin Jiuyu's fingers in his mouth as a toy.

Because his hand was bitten, Yin Jiuyu could not do anything else but play with it.

That day, Yin Jiuyu talked to it a lot, and his gentle and soft, casual tone was very comfortable to listen to.

He was only like this in front of it. Sometimes a strange woman would come with a child, but Yin Jiuyu's attitude was very cold, a tone that it had never heard before.

Yin Jiuyu's tenderness seemed to be given only to it.

He is its person, like a beast marking its prey. In Ruibao's heart, Yin Jiuyu is its property.

But that night became their last night together.

Even though it turned into a human later, Ning Changyue couldn't remember what Yin Jiuyu said that day. All she could remember was that as he spoke, hot water droplets dripped onto it.

It was only after she turned into a human that Ning Changyue realized that they were tears.

But at that time, Ruibao didn't know. It just felt disgusted that he had gotten water on its fur, so it shook its head and bit him fiercely.

Not sure if the skin was broken, but Yin Jiuyu didn't care anyway.

Then the next day, Ruibao was taken away by Coco.

Her full name is Yin Keke, and she is Yin Jiuyu's cousin.

It was Yin Jiuyu who personally put Ruibao into the cat bag and let Keke take it away.

After living in a strange place for several days and Yin Jiuyu didn't come to pick it up, Ruibao began to get impatient. It took the opportunity when Keke was out to sneak out through the crack of the door.

It was the first time for it to go out alone, but it had no interest in looking at the scenery outside and just wanted to go home.

But it couldn't find the way home, so it wandered outside for a long time.

The cats outside are very unfriendly to it. They will bite it when they see it from a distance.

Because it is so beautiful. As a pure white rural cat with owl eyes, it has shiny fur and is delicate and beautiful. Such cats rarely appear in the wild, and even if they do, they will be taken home quickly.

Ruibao has been chased by dogs and trapped by cats, but he can do nothing but run away.

Its nails were trimmed very cleanly, and the hardest thing its teeth had ever bitten was Yin Jiuyu's finger. It had no hunting ability and was even afraid of mice.

It slept in the wild and was afraid in its dreams.

It couldn't find anything to eat and was always hungry, but it was beautiful and there were kind people willing to feed it, so it ate a lot of things it had never eaten before.

A fisherman once gave it a fish. It was Ruibao's first time to eat raw fish. The fish had many bones. A fishbone got stuck in its throat, causing pain for many days.

That was also the first time it knew that fish had bones. Clearly, every bite of fish Yin Jiuyu fed it had no bones.

Ning Changyue couldn't remember how he spent those days, but he knew it was very hard. He wandered for a long time and finally found a home.

It was a really long journey.

It licked its dirty fur, squatted at the door of the house, and said nothing, waiting for Yin Jiuyu to open the door, find it, and take it home.

It was very angry, and it had already made up its mind that when it saw him, it would scold him severely and bite him hard.

But the door didn't open. It never opened.

It lay in the yard for several days, waiting for Coco to come.

She said, “So you are here.”

Ruibao climbed up the tree and looked at her warily.

But she did not forcefully take it away. Instead, she opened the door and went into the house. Before she left, she left the window a crack, as if inviting it in.

But Ruibao didn't go in. It wanted to wait for Yin Jiuyu to take it home.

But after waiting day after day, no one came out of the house.

Coco came once a day. When she came the next day, she found that there was still enough cat food in the house, so she moved the automatic cat feeder under the eaves.

Most of the time, she is silent, but occasionally, she will chat with the cat.

She said, "Raybao, come home with me, okay?"

"You miss your brother too, right?"

"My brother is doing well, don't worry about him."

Ruibao didn't understand what she was saying, but it knew that there was no one in the room.

Its owner didn't want it anymore, but Ruibao still couldn't bear to leave.

It did something wrong to make him want it.

Later, Ruibao spent a long time to figure out this problem.
