Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Living room. ……
living room.
"I watched the surveillance video six times and didn't find anything unusual."
"They haven't left the cat house since 7pm yesterday." Ning Ji squatted in front of the cat house and scratched his hair. "I just called my parents, and they didn't see the cats run out before they went out this morning."
He muttered, "If the positioning cat tag is correct... I can only think of one explanation."
Yan Sui held his hand soothingly, then squatted down and looked at him, "What's the explanation?"
Ning Ji hesitated a little, and slowly took out a fur ball from the cat house, "Do you remember this toy?"
Yan Sui nodded, "I remember, it was the calico cat's favorite toy."
The lively and active calico has an incredibly strong bite force and does not look like a cat at all.
His favorite toy on weekdays is the green ball of wool. Because Xiao Sanhua has bitten many of the balls of wool, Ning Ji would buy many small balls of the same style at one time.
Ning Ji whispered, "I played with Xiao Sanhua for a while after I got up yesterday. It kept pushing the ball to me. I thought it wanted to play the ball-pushing game with me."
"But I put the ball in front of it and it kept pushing it towards me with its paw."
Now thinking back, the kitten's words actually had a bit of a farewell meaning. Even the lion cat, who is usually lazy and doesn't like to talk to people, didn't sleep yesterday. Instead, he got up and watched the scene of little Sanhua giving the ball of fur.
In Ning Ji's mind, there was only one explanation - the two kittens seemed to already know that they would leave.
——
The cute pet section of University A updated several posts, which were very popular and quickly pushed to the front row.
The poster was a student who stayed on campus during the winter break. He was very excited and posted several posts in a row. When you clicked into the posts, the whole screen was filled with exclamation marks. At the bottom were a few blurry photos of the Tongxin Lake.
If you zoom in on the photo, you can vaguely see the shadows of two kittens passing by in the corner near Tongxin Lake.
The cute pet section immediately became lively again with many messages coming in. The students who stayed on campus during the winter break were very excited and expressed in their posts that they had never expected to see Xiaohua and Dabai again at school.
As A-list celebrity kittens, they have disappeared for a long time.
The two kittens often disappeared for a while before, but never for as long as this time. Seeing the kittens return again, many students of University A seemed very relieved and left messages saying that they were finally relieved.
After being missing for such a long time, students from University A were worried that the two kittens might have met with an accident.
In the past, many students wanted to adopt the two kittens, but to no avail. No one could take the two kittens home. Later, all the A students tacitly accepted that the two kittens loved freedom by nature and did not want to be domestic pets.
When Ning Ji saw the post, he was still in a daze and still felt it was a little unreal - the little girl who had hooked her tail around his wrist yesterday had arrived at University A, thousands of miles away, in the blink of an eye.
He looked up at Yan Sui.
With just one look, Yan Sui understood what he meant, "Are you going to University A?"
Ning Ji pursed his lips and said, "I still want to go see them."
Yan Sui raised his hand and rubbed his head, "Okay, I'll go with you."
The earliest flight to City A was at two o'clock in the afternoon, and when they arrived at University A, it was already five o'clock in the evening.
As a century-old prestigious university, University A is open to the public for visits during the winter and summer vacations. Even in the evening, there are still many people in the school.
Ning Ji actually didn't hold out much hope.
The calico cats and lion cats are elusive. They have learned their abilities when they first became cats - if they don't want to be found, they will never appear in front of humans.
Ning Ji unconsciously grabbed Xiao Sanhua's favorite little ball of fur and walked slowly along the Tongxin Lake.
The winter in A University is not as cold as that in Quanzhou City. The snow stopped early, but the wind is still chilly.
Tongxin Lake in winter is different from summer, and it looks a little bleak. Yan Sui, wearing a dark gray windbreaker, gently put the hand of the person next to him into his pocket to keep warm.
He whispered, "It's okay. If we can't find it today, we can come back tomorrow. We still have to study at University A in the future, so we will meet each other sooner or later."
The kitten looked a little lost, pursed his lips and said nothing.
They walked around Tongxin Lake again and again, but still didn't see the two kittens. The winter night was getting dark very quickly, and when the street lights on both sides of the Tongxin Lake Bridge were lit, Ning Ji and Yan Sui went back.
Yan Sui's house in City A has a housekeeper who comes to clean it regularly, but Yan Sui has a serious mysophobia, so after returning home, he changes his clothes and cleans the house again.
After running around all day, Ning Ji took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The sound of a floor scrubber was heard in the huge living room. Yan Sui bent down and picked up Ning Ji's black shoulder bag that had been placed on the sofa.
The zipper of the black shoulder bag was not closed, and a small green ball of fur rolled out of the bag and rolled to the side of the sofa. Yan Sui bent his knees, bent over, and stretched out his long arms to reach the small ball of fur.
The moment he picked up the little ball of fur, he suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, and an indescribable strange feeling arose in his heart, as if all his five senses were covered in a vacuum, making him feel very uncomfortable.
Yan Sui paused for a long time, and even after he recovered, he still felt a little palpitation. He thought it was the sequelae of a hangover, and frowned slightly.
Ning Ji was taking a shower in the bathroom. When he came out, he found a row of missed calls on his phone, all from Zhao Xu and Tang Yifei.
He walked to the living room, wiped his wet hair, and called Zhao Xu back. The call was connected instantly, and Zhao Xu asked him in a trembling voice: "Ning Ji, where are you? Are you okay?"
Ning Ji felt something was wrong, so he stopped wiping his hair and said hesitantly, "What's wrong? I was in City A, taking a shower just now, and I wasn't looking at my phone."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have unloaded a huge burden, and said that he and Tang Yifei were going crazy looking for him. In the background, car horns sounded one after another, accompanied by Tang Yifei's angry curses.
Zhao Xu murmured: "Fortunately you didn't read the news just now..."
He took a deep breath, his voice still a little unstable and hoarse, "Yifei and I are at the basketball hall, and there's a team there that wants to play with you. Let's send a message to ask you to come over and play a game."
"As a result, not long after I sent you the message, Yifei saw a video of a person in the same city. A series of car accidents happened at the intersection where we live."
"Several taxis carrying people have had accidents."
The reposted video was shocking, with car wreckage and blood all over the ground.
Zhao Xu rubbed his face vigorously, his voice buzzing, "Yifei and I called you, but you didn't answer. We were almost scared to death."
The intersection where the car accident happened was a must-pass route for Ning Ji, and the time was exactly the time when Ning Ji received the news and went out.
Ning Ji was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He comforted Zhao Xu for a long time. But after hanging up the phone, he felt a little uneasy.
Yan Sui sat aside, held his hand, stroked his thin wrist, and asked him, "Why are your hands so cold? Didn't you just take a shower?"
Ning Ji hesitated for a moment, but still whispered: "I don't know if I'm overthinking it. Zhao Xu just called me and told me that there was a chain reaction near my intersection. Just after he sent the message asking me to go out."
Yan Sui's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Ning Ji looked hesitant and said slowly and softly, "No wonder they almost went crazy looking for me just now."
"I usually go out when I see their news. The basketball stadium is quite far from my home, so I usually take a taxi directly at the gate of the community..."
He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Ning Ji." Yan Sui rarely interrupted him in such an unmannerly way. His hands even began to feel colder than Ning Ji's.
After Yan Sui realized his mistake, he forced a smile at him, but his expression did not improve. He repeated, "No - that will not happen."
Ning Ji realized that what he said just now was a bit scary, "I know." He wanted to make a joke to Yan Sui, who looked unhappy, and said in a relaxed tone: "My luck seems to be a bit good, how about buying a lottery ticket later?"
However, Yan Sui did not smile as he thought, but looked up at him silently.
After a moment, he lowered his head, gently pressed his forehead against Ning Ji's, and whispered that he would go crazy if something like that really happened.
Ning Ji was stunned, then he smiled and stretched out his hand to push and poke Yan Sui's shoulder, "What? Stop talking nonsense."
Yan Sui didn't say anything, just stared at the person in front of him in silence. After a while, he said softly, "Ning Ji, I always feel like we missed each other for a long time. We should have been together a long time ago."
Ning Ji thought about it and patted his head, "Who told you to be so tall in high school?"
"If you were shorter in high school, maybe I would be willing to play with you."
He noticed his lover's anxiety and kissed the person in front of him again, "Okay, let's not talk about that. Am I not doing well in front of you now?"
——
In a corner of Tongxin Lake, a calico cat holding a cat strip in its mouth nimbly ran to the depths of the grove, lowered its head, nudged the cat strip with its claws, and bit open the strip.
It gave the cat strips it had bitten off to the lion cat next to it and rubbed the lion cat with its nose.
The lion cat ate two bites of the cat food and left the rest to it. The calico cat finished eating the cat food and started to play with the plastic bag of cat food.
It had a lot of fun playing and the plastic bag was bitten into pieces.
The next second, the little Sanhua was picked up and put aside.
The lion cat said to it, "You are not allowed to play anymore."
Little Sanhua turned over, revealing her soft belly, and looked at it with her head tilted.
The lion cat rubbed its belly gently, "You bit off their red line, but luckily we reconnected it."
The little Sanhua meowed, stood up, and its fluffy tail suddenly spread out like a fan, with eight tails swaying in the wind.
It shook its head and defended itself: "I know, I saved Scar with my tail."
Scar was supposed to have been in that car accident with serious injuries that would have put him in a coma for a long time.
The little calico cat played with its tail, "When Scar and the others fall asleep and lose their virginity, I will go to Scar's dream and talk to him."
"I will apologize to Scar and admit to him that I accidentally bit off their red string under the matchmaker's tree when we were kids, causing them to miss those years."
