My Neighbor Totoro
At this moment, looking at the scene in the room, the cat outside the window rubbed its claws excitedly, and the whole cat climbed on the glass, with its tail shaking excitedly.
Huh, scared? Feeling helpless?
Then, it's time for the cat to appear!
The calico cat's eyes sparkled.
It understands very well.
If a mouse crawls into a person's body, the person will be extremely frightened and tremble all over. Seeing a cat is like seeing a savior.
Sure enough, even if this human could hold the big rat in his hands before, he would still be scared after being drilled by it, right?
Hmmmm…
The cat came down from the glass demurely, sat down gracefully, and adjusted its posture.
Then let the cat come to the rescue.
I don’t believe that I can’t defeat you, human.
The cat was ready to knock on the window to attract human attention, but the next scene made its plan fail.
"Oh, really..."
Feeling Maotuan's persistence, Gu Chen sighed helplessly.
The next second, he unzipped his shoulder a little bit, took off his hat, and held the chinchilla in his arms, rocking it gently as if he was coaxing a child.
Fortunately, the hood of this dress is removable.
Thinking that maybe the noise he made scared the chinchilla, Gu Chen felt a little guilty and gently comforted the fur ball hiding in the hood:
"Are you scared? Then just hide inside, I won't disturb you."
whisper……?
The timid ball of fur twitched its nose and cautiously poked its head out, but was surprised to find that the shelter it had found was completely protected by humans. The cat's eyes flashing with faint light outside the window could no longer be seen in its field of vision, and its ears, which had been pressed against its body, suddenly lifted up.
This time, Mianmian did not shrink back immediately.
The chinchilla's two little paws were scratching the edge of the hood, and its nose was sniffing, while its ears were shaking to catch sounds, looking timid.
Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was getting better, but his voice was still very gentle: "Are you recovering? It doesn't matter, you can stay in there tonight. If you want to come out, you can do so anytime."
Realizing that the first thing the chinchilla did after being frightened was to hide against him, Gu Chen was flattered by the trust it showed, and at the same time, he also developed a sense of responsibility.
He stretched out his hand to the chinchilla, and its bright black eyes stared at him blankly. Then, its two little paws actually placed themselves on his fingers, feeling the soft touch.
Gu Chen's heart moved, and his voice became firm and serious:
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Coo coo… ?
Although Mianmian can't understand human language, she can still feel human attitudes.
This is really special for a mouse, which is at the bottom of the food chain and is always sensitive and vigilant.
Coupled with the previous crisis, it was almost like a suspension bridge effect that caused the little guy to change his mentality.
Although she didn't show it on her face, Mianmian actually began to trust Gu Chen a little.
It grasped the human's fingers and docilely lowered its ears to show its goodwill.
The narrator finished his tea, his tone subtle:
"The green tea girl originally wanted to use this crisis to embarrass the assistant, and then she would appear in a perfect manner to help the star settle the matter. Not only did she eliminate a hidden rival, but she also gained favor."
“While the plan was wonderful, the execution was not what it was supposed to be.”
[I am so amused, this scheming green tea cat! Is it trying to catch mice? 】
[They all say it's a chinchilla, not a mouse (annoying)]
[Hahahaha, the result is that the child and Shushu became closer! ]
"Although the big star had previously disliked the young assistant and always despised her clumsiness, he was a typical male chauvinist and felt pity for the young assistant who looked so pitiful because of her mistakes."
"The fans' denigration did not make him feel disgusted with the assistant. On the contrary, he even took the initiative to protect the assistant."
"Looking at the little assistant who showed her vulnerable side in his arms and made people feel sorry for her, some emotions rose in the heart of the big star."
"And the assistant, who was originally panicking, also began to feel strange emotions after being embraced by the big star."
"It seems...he isn't that annoying."
The audience was almost hurt by this plot twist.
[Hahahaha, so the green tea girl failed to do evil and instead became an assist, right? ]
[I laughed my ass off hahahaha, although the mentality of a big star is completely normal for a pet owner. I usually scold my pet when it does something wrong, but if it is really scared, I will feel so distressed! ]
[Green Tea Cat: ...I followed you all the way and climbed several floors, not to be an assist! ! ]
[Awesome, so the plot is driven by green tea ()]
The cat outside the window: ...
Meow!!
The warm scene before its eyes was directly contrary to its original expectations.
What's going on!
Weren't you scared just now? Why are you hugging me now?
What about the cat? What about the cat?
It had been waiting on the windowsill for so long in the cold wind, not to watch humans and giant rats being affectionate!
The Green Tea Cat was so angry and embarrassed that it didn't want to stay in this embarrassing place, so it turned around and left.
But it won't give up!
Next time, it will definitely conquer this human.
Just like that, the calico cat disappeared into the night.
In the room——
Gu Chen, who was concentrating on taking care of his pet's mood, was unaware of what was happening outside the window. He only knew that after a while, the chinchilla came out of the hat on its own initiative.
Cuckoo?
The little chinchilla had been listening vigilantly with its ears raised for a while, and when it realized that there was finally no movement outside the window, it suddenly relaxed its ears and jumped happily on the human's lap like a soft and elastic little cake.
yeah!
All clear!
"Are you feeling better?" Seeing this, Gu Chen was very happy. He took the initiative to comfort the chinchilla with snacks and even reached out to touch its head. "Eat something first."
Because of the protection just now, Mianmian began to trust him very much.
Specifically, when his hand reached the top of the chinchilla's head, the blunt, round pink and white ears bent down automatically, revealing its soft head without reservation, allowing people to touch it.
“…Eh.”
Gu Chen was stunned. Although he didn't understand the specific meaning of this action, he was still very happy.
Fans actively explained:
[Wow, Mianmian has become so well behaved all of a sudden!]
[When a chinchilla presses its ears, it means it is obedient. Mianmian seems to like you more than before.]
[Hahaha, after all, Chenchen was very gentle just now, probably because he felt safe.]
Looking at the barrage, Gu Chen narrowed his eyes unconsciously: "Ah, so that's it..."
But thinking that he was live streaming, he apologized for the accident: "I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time."
The fans were very friendly:
[Don’t delay! That one is so cute!]
[Please interact with Mianmian more. I love it! And I feel like Chenchen is relaxing as well.]
[Yes, that’s the feeling of a teenager, so cute! This is the real movie!]
"Hmm?"
Although he didn't understand what everyone was so excited about, Gu Chen intuitively felt that there was no malicious intent, so he breathed a sigh of relief and continued the live broadcast.
Moreover, because he found that everyone was not averse to his contact with the chinchilla and even expected it, Gu Chen tolerated it when Mianmian climbed up the boy's arm and stood on the boy's shoulder to look at the camera.
Mianmian should be expressing closeness...
Gu Chen wanted to rub his neck, but held back.
It's a bit itchy, but acceptable.
However, he couldn't do anything big like this, as he certainly couldn't play a serious crusade dungeon, so Gu Chen later opened a small leisure room and played a plot-oriented dungeon with his lucky fans.
The plot-oriented copy was relatively easy. While waiting for the plot, Gu Chen looked through the in-game emails and unexpectedly found that he had received an invitation from the official offline exhibition of the game.
Because the game footage was also broadcast live in a split screen, fans were able to see it as well.
They are excited:
[Wow, did you invite Chenchen to this year's exhibition?]
[Chenchen is amazing. He has been noticed by the official after only playing for a few months!]
[Ahhh, will Chenchen go? I want to take a photo with Chenchen offline! ]
Gu Chen quickly deleted the email, his eyes wandering, and he did not directly answer the question in the barrage, but only replied vaguely: "I'm not sure at the moment, I'll tell you when the time comes."
He loves to be with his fans every day.
But he was not sure if he could maintain such a relationship and still be likable if he really met everyone in real life.
After all, he wasn't much of a chatterbox.
And if we meet offline, there will definitely be a lot of people...
Hesitantly, Gu Chen saw a few comments passing by quickly:
[Just imagine, if it is really possible, I will wear Chenchen’s favorite blue! He will definitely be able to see me at a glance!]
[Chenchen, do you want any dessert? My house is a pastry shop, I can bring you a small cake!]
[Hey, we haven’t even started yet, why are you in such a hurry? But if Chenchen really goes, can he bring Mianmian with him? He is the cutest chinchilla I have ever seen!]
Looking at these comments, Gu Chen was slightly moved, but in the end he lowered his eyes, pretending not to see them, and continued to play the game seriously.
After the live broadcast ended, for some reason, he clicked on the email again and added his exclusive customer service through the link.
This offline game exhibition happened to be held in his city.
I checked the specific address of the event and it was not far from his home, only a few minutes by taxi.
All conditions are very suitable. The officials have thoughtfully taken into account the various needs of the guests, even the needs of bringing pets, and there are special small rooms to accommodate pets.
[Yes, I know that you recently got a chinchilla, so there is a corresponding pet gift pack.]
[What a coincidence! Our designer also has a chinchilla, so there are small clothes designed specifically for chinchillas! ]
The exclusive customer service spoke very enthusiastically.
Gu Chen stared at the small clothes in the gift bag for a long time.
There are small hats, small canes, and even small ribbon decorations on the tail that match the various professions in the game.
Gu Chen took the ball of fur off its shoulder, placed it on the table, looked at its face, and then at the small costume on the screen.
Mianmian didn't understand what was going on, so she tilted her head slightly and twitched her nose.
Gu Chen was slightly moved.
It feels...it's going to be cute.
On the other side, the dedicated customer service continued to output:
[Yes, there is a professional pet consultant here. You can consult her if you have any questions!]
[You don’t have to worry about your baby’s safety. There are special rooms for various common pets, and the air-conditioning temperature is suitable, so nothing will happen.]
[There are also various small gifts at the venue, which is very interesting! ]
Gu Chen typed a reply slowly: I'll think about it...
The customer service sent a flying kiss emoji and replied enthusiastically:
[Yeah, I look forward to your arrival!]
Before going on air the next day, Gu Chen carefully searched for information about previous exhibitions on the Internet. While he was still hesitating whether he should go, he received a call from his brother.
Gu Xu's voice was a little vague in the receiver: "Have you gone to bed early these days?"
Gu Chen remained silent.
He knew that his brother might reprimand him for staying up late to do a live broadcast, so he didn't want to talk.
But unexpectedly, after such an opening statement, Gu Xu smiled and continued: "Okay, I know you still have the same schedule, I'm not here to persuade you today."
"Did you know that there is an offline game exhibition in your area recently?"
Gu Chen:……!
Gu Chen: "You said you wouldn't come in to peek!"
The young man's voice sounded somewhat innocent: "Huh? What did I peek at? I just knew there was that exhibition and thought you might like it."
Gu Chen was suspicious: "Is that so?"
Gu Xu responded nonchalantly: "Yes, it's because there is a guest I like very much that I know about this exhibition. It's a pity that I'm still busy and can't go at all..."
Gu Chen's eyes flickered, he clicked on the list of people who had confirmed their attendance at the exhibition, his finger on the mouse ready to move.
He was waiting for his brother to say the name of the guest.
But what made him inexplicably disappointed was that after this conversation, Gu Xu chatted with him normally about other topics, asked him to go to the community to pick up the package, and did not say a word about the offline exhibition and the guests.
Is it because he just showed disgust that you stopped talking?
Gu Chen twisted his fingers in confusion, and finally when the call was about to end, he pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Who is your favorite guest?"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Xu's expression suddenly softened, and a smile instantly filled his eyes, but his words remained calm, as if he was just saying it casually: "Oh, the guest's name is Ren You."
Gu Chen: ...
He hung up the call directly.
The balance in my heart, which had been tilted slightly, suddenly straightened out when I heard this name.
Thinking of the machine gun words lingering in his ears during the call that night, Gu Chen calmly closed the webpage and didn't even plan to look at Ren You's photo.
It's noisy.
The face must be noisy too.
“Ding Dong~”
A text message came, it was from Gu Xu.
[Why did you hang up the phone suddenly? Was it an accident?]
Gu Chen put the phone aside and didn't plan to reply.
Soon, the screen lit up again——
[Okay, don’t forget to go out and get the package, which contains the chinchilla food I carefully bought for Mianmian.]
After checking the time, Gu Chen sighed, changed his clothes and prepared to go out.
He didn't bring his chinchilla with him this time.
Mianmian's mood fluctuated greatly after she came back from her last outing, so I decided not to bring it this time.
But what was a coincidence was that on the way home, Gu Chen met the kitten he met yesterday again.
However, the situation seemed to have changed 180 degrees.
At this time, the little Sanhua was lying on the ground listlessly, and every strand of its hair seemed to show weakness and helplessness. When it saw people coming, it slowly stood up as if it had just reacted, and prepared to leave with its tail drooping.
Such changes are somewhat worrying.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Gu Chen couldn't help but stop and half-crouched, looking at the cat with some worry. The cat seemed particularly listless compared to before. Seeing that the cat's ears were drooping, he tentatively touched its head and asked in a low voice: "Is it sick? Or hungry?"
"Mmmmm..."
Little Sanhua hummed softly once or twice, half-closed her eyes, and took the initiative to put her chin on the human's wrist, opening and closing her mouth, almost calling out in a breathy voice.
It's really pitiful to watch.
Gu Chen put down the bag in his hand, squatted down, and searched inside for something to feed the cat.
After searching for a long time without finding any, he could only tentatively open a bag of chinchilla food, pour a little into his hand, and hand it to the kitten: "This is for Mianmian... Do you want to try it?"
“Meow!”
Who would have thought that the kitten seemed to be very hungry, and meowed and purred as it picked up a few grains of grass.
So pitiful...
He must be starving.
No wonder I kept pestering him on the road yesterday.
Seeing this, Gu Chen raised his head and looked around, trying to find a convenience store in the community.
After all, cats are carnivores, so even if they can eat soft food, they can't eat too much.
vomit--!
It's not just that you can't eat too much, you can't eat it at all.
After the human looked up, the kitten, who had been eating hard, retched silently and almost vomited out all the food.
The cat's claws were so irritated that they popped out.
What a disgusting thing this is!
Yue! It tastes terrible!
But in order not to ruin the performance, the cat quickly suppressed its reaction and pressed all the chinchilla food under its tongue without swallowing to avoid retching.
After doing all this, it cautiously looked up at the person - good, probably no one saw it.
Didn’t expect that?
This scene was actually carefully designed by Green Tea Cat.
After last night's defeat, it learned its lesson, reviewed the scene of crying and crawling into the arms of humans, and decided to change its style.
Since this human likes the weak, then of course cats can do that too!
With its dignity at stake, the cat is determined to conquer this human!
So, even though she had just had a big meal not long ago, Xiao Sanhua still showed her superb acting skills when facing Gu Chen.
The performance was so superb that it confused the audience who had not seen the cause and effect.
[Ah, the little Sanhua is so pitiful, it even eats chinchilla food! ]
[You keep eating even after retching. How hungry are you, poor little thing?]
[Just feed it for a while? It looks listless, maybe it's sick. How about taking it home to check it out first? ]
This sympathy ends when the narrator begins:
“Green tea won’t give up easily.”
"Since big stars like to sympathize with the weak, then it should act weak. Who can't do that?"
"Come on, who can resist a pitiful beauty?"
Audience: …
Audience: ? ?
[Ah? Is this an act? ? ]
[Hahahahaha is this true or not, cat, you are so serious, I am crying! ]
[Eating chinchilla food just to act weak, eh, good tea! ]
Gu Chen, who knew nothing about this, was still worried about feeding the little Sanhua.
He turned on his phone and finally found a nearby convenience store. After leading the cat here to wait, he prepared himself mentally and quickly went in to buy a sausage.
He didn't see any cat food in the store, so he had to buy this to feed the cat.
The point is, if he stayed any longer, he would suffocate...
"Kitty, can you eat this?"
“…Meow~”
snort.
It has long been disliked by this kind of stuff!
When the calico cat saw the human entering the store from afar, he guessed that the human was going to pick out sausages for him.
Although it looked down on this thing, in order to maintain its cat character, the cat still meowed with a little happiness, rubbed against the human's calf and looked up at the human.
In those crystal clear cat's eyes, there were three parts of joy, four parts of anticipation, and three parts of reluctance to speak.
Oh my!
I am so grateful to the cat family for saving it.
After eating the ham, the kitten started to rub against the person again, with its long tail raised and swaying beside the person's legs.
To repay your kindness, let the cat family go with you~
"Oh, sorry."
Gu Chen accepted the cat's rubbing against him, but shook his head to reject Xiao Sanhua's attempt to follow him. He said sincerely, "I can't take you away. Mianmian is still at home."
kitten:……?
I’ve fed it, I’ve touched it, and after all these tricks, you’re still not convinced by the cat? ?
You make the cat's elaborate planning look funny, meow!
In fact, the calico cat doesn't want to be adopted.
It is very picky and has extremely high requirements for its owner. At this moment, it wants Gu Chen to agree and take it home only out of its previous desire to conquer it. If Gu Chen really takes it back, it will slip away within three days.
Meaning, it can choose not to think about it, but humans cannot choose not to think about it!!
Now it has humbled itself so much, even condescending to eat the cheap food that it used to despise, but it still can't take this person down? !
Damn meow...
The cat gnashed its teeth secretly.
But when it turned to meet the human's gaze, it still called softly with expectation, tilting its head with an innocent and cute expression.
Are you really not going to take me home?
I'm a very good meow!
Gu Chen: ...
Gu Chen: "Is one not enough?"
"Then I'll buy you a few more."
The boy suddenly realized, put down the bag in his hand, and turned to go into the store.
kitten:……
wrong!
Totally wrong!!
The cat was furious.
At this point, it finally realized how difficult the target before it was.
After all, the biggest obstacle turned out to be the giant rat.
Even if it is a little whiter, a little fatter, a little hairier, and doesn't look like a real rat at all, it still can't beat a cat!!
The calico cat sharpened its claws and thought angrily.
I'm afraid I won't be able to conquer this human today...
But the cat can't take this! Something must be done!
Suddenly, it had an idea.
The kitten glanced in the direction of the store and made sure that no one was still in sight, so it quickly poked its head into the bag and rubbed its chin over the grass-scented contents, leaving its own scent behind.
snort.
Scare the mouse first.
Narrator:
"The green tea girl played the role of a weak girl to perfection, but the big star was a dead straight man and didn't understand her meaning at all, and just gave her a wink."
"And this guy actually only took care of the little assistant. This made Green Tea feel unwilling and set her sights on the little assistant."
"It seems that I have to deal with the assistant first. Green Tea thought."
"Even if I fail to win over the big star this time, I have to make the little assistant feel suspicious!"
"So, the green tea girl deliberately left her mark on the big star during a certain contact, trying to sow discord."
Audience: Phew.
[Hahahahaha, such a scheming, green tea-like person, I can’t stand it!! I suggest that such a bad cat be sent to me for punishment!!]
[Is this approach similar to leaving lipstick marks on the male protagonist's collar? That's too mean, hahahaha. ]
[Tsk tsk, he even ate all of Shushu's food, how mean. ]
【Ah, what a good tea! 】
Gu Chen knew nothing about this.
He went in and out of the convenience store several times and his expression was tense, so he naturally didn't care about the slightly messy opening of his bag.
"Is this enough?"
He handed seven or eight sausages to Xiao Sanhua and said seriously, "I paid a lot more. If you are hungry, you can come here and eat with the owner."
The reason why he stayed in there for so long was because he had such a difficult negotiation with someone.
Cat: “…Meow.”
Gu Chen: "You're welcome."
He curled his eyes, touched the kitten's head, and left with the bag.
Sure enough, the kitten did not catch up this time.
Although talking with the store owner made him feel uncontrollably nervous, knowing that this would help the kitten, Gu Chen didn't think it was a big deal.
He didn't know that behind him, the cat was looking at the seven or eight sausages in front of it and sighing sadly, and finally could only move the sausages with tears in his eyes.
“Meow…”
Forget it, don’t waste it.
Give it to other cats.
"Huh?"
When Gu Chen returned home and took out the new chinchilla food for Mianmian to try, he found that the little chinchilla's reaction was a little strange.
The little guy who was so well-behaved yesterday suddenly got angry for no reason, and yelled "jie-jie" at him. The whole fat ball turned its back angrily, and his body rose and fell with anger. Even snacks couldn't make it move.
Gu Chen was confused.
What's going on?
Mianmian: You smell like its saliva, it’s my nose that’s guilty QAQ
Sanhua: Damn it, humans who don’t understand cats at all!!
Sorry I'm late (Dogeza)
I overestimated myself.
