My Neighbor Totoro
When Gu Chen was sitting behind the door in a daze, the narrator began to explain his thoughts:
"When the green tea was punished, the rich girl was entangled by the green tea and was unable to meet the big star, and the accident happened again."
"This time the conflict comes from the big star's own ideological struggle."
"As a big star with a good family background and good personal conditions, he has no shortage of supporters, and he has never doubted these fans."
"But now, he is beginning to doubt it."
[Oh... is that what I just heard? Actually, I already realized something was wrong. At least that exhibition was full of flaws. It was too thoughtful. Now it seems that it was indeed arranged by my brother.]
[So it's normal for a child to have a mental breakdown. He's already not confident in socializing, and now he finds out his friend is in contact with his brother. It's easy for him to think that others are approaching him with a purpose, right? ]
[No way, although Ren You seems unreliable, he is actually a nice person. He was very considerate and gentle during the few times we got along. If it was arranged by my brother, how much money would it cost to hire him!]
[Yeah, even if it was at the beginning, the follow-up was definitely not arranged by my brother. Didn’t you see that he even called to question me? But the child didn’t seem to react...]
[By the way, he's still not moving? He's bound to catch a cold if he sits here all night, right? ]
Then, they watched Gu Chen sit there from early morning till evening of the next day.
After waiting for a long time, Gu Xu felt something was wrong and knocked on the door, but he was then brushed off by the boy with a few perfunctory words, and the audience became a little anxious.
[Brother, didn’t you just take out your key to open the door on the first day? Why don’t you take it out now? ]
[Ah? Is it wrong that I can't hear the sound? Your brother is sick! ]
[It feels like this kid is going crazy because of the burning, his eyes are distracted. ]
If it took several hours for Gu Xu to realize something was wrong and force his way into the house, the audience shook their heads and sighed, not optimistic about what would happen next.
At this moment, Mianmian exerted her strength.
Not only did he make a noise in the cabinet to attract the boy's attention and make him crawl up from the cold floor, he also resisted the temptation of food and jumped to the boy's pillow to check on him when he was about to faint.
The narrator sighed with emotion:
"At this time, only the assistant noticed the star's inner distress and stayed by his side."
"Before his consciousness fell into darkness, the superstar's thoughts suddenly relaxed. The negative emotions that had been filling his mind were gone, and he only remembered the figure of the young assistant running towards him anxiously."
"It seems that the little assistant is indeed different..."
The audience was deeply moved.
[Mianmian! What a good baby! ]
[I thought Mianmian was just barking for food, but it turns out she was barking because she cared about her master? ]
[The chinchilla is very loyal! It must have recognized its master and is really caring about him now. ]
[But what should we do now? Mianmian looks so anxious, but what can a chinchilla do? ]
Coo coo!
Mianmian wants to know too!
The chinchilla jumped around the boy, but apart from the initial moment when the boy forced himself to look at it, there was no response afterwards.
The person was already dizzy, completely dizzy, but the temperature on his forehead was faintly rising.
This is simply terrible for chinchillas whose comfortable temperature is 18 degrees!
“Gugugugu…”
Mianmian was extremely anxious.
It went back and forth between the computer desk and the bed several times, trying to stuff the various components of mouse food into the boy's mouth, but to no avail. The whole chinchilla fell into a daze, trying hard to think.
Chinchillas are very susceptible to heatstroke.
After taking Mianmian back, although Gu Chen took good care of her, she still got overheated by accident during one of their games.
It was just a mild heatstroke, so Mianmian was still conscious at the time and clearly remembered how humans helped relieve its discomfort.
At that time, it lay listlessly in the boy's hands, without any strength in its body, watching the boy take it out of the room and into a larger space.
Then, it was placed in a large cube filled with cold air.
It felt chilly and icy water dripped onto my ears.
It felt insecure and wanted to run away, but humans kept coaxing it, reaching out their hands to play with it, and staying in the same place with it for a long time.
It was also from that time that the little chinchilla completely accepted the humans in front of it.
grumble!
That's it!
Mianmian found a way at once, and circled around the boy reluctantly, then jumped off the bed and ran straight to the door.
What's that sound?
Originally, Gu Xu was still hesitating and wandering at the door of his brother's bedroom. From a certain moment, he suddenly heard some strange noises.
“Ka-ka…”
“Click, click…”
It seemed to come from under the door, with bursts of vigorous scratching sounds.
"Mianmian?" Gu Xu was puzzled. He was also worried that going in directly would make his brother unhappy, so he deliberately raised his voice and asked inside, "Is it Mianmian scratching the door?"
He certainly didn't expect a chinchilla to respond to him, he just wanted a response from his brother.
There was no sound in the room, but when he squatted down, he heard Totoro's voice calling out:
“Gugu…!”
Very strange.
Gu Xu felt something was wrong, so he quickly went back to the study to get the key and carefully opened his brother's bedroom door.
"Chenchen, what's wrong with you?"
And at his feet, where he had not noticed, Mianmian took the lead and rushed out directly.
Gurgle!
Rushing to the kitchen and seeing the familiar big cube, the Totoro jumped on the spot excitedly, thinking that the boy must be saved.
Turning around, he wanted to quickly imitate the boy's action to save people, but a problem that he had ignored suddenly came to his mind, and Mianmian was stunned.
wrong!
The chinchilla stopped at the entrance of the kitchen, sat down, and stared at its thin little paws in a daze.
Before, it lay in the hands of humans.
But how could a human lie on its paws?
So how can it put people into the big cube? How can it save people?
Mianmian's brain is down——
This is probably the most unanswered question ever.
[What's going on! Why isn't Mianmian moving? ]
[It's okay, it's okay. I don't expect a little chinchilla to really do anything. It's good enough to make the elder brother realize that there's something wrong with the younger brother. Mianmian has done a great job! ]
However, the little chinchilla in the picture seems to have its own ideas——
“It’s so hot…!”
After testing the temperature of the boy's forehead, Gu Xu took a breath of cold air. Before he could do anything, something light suddenly pressed on the instep of his foot.
He looked down.
It’s continuous.
The little chinchilla suddenly jumped onto the back of his foot, not knowing what it was trying to do.
"Be good, I don't have time to play with you now."
Gu Xu frowned, shook the ball of hair off his feet, and was about to get some antipyretic medicine. After taking a few steps, he unexpectedly saw Mianmian's strange behavior.
The little guy rarely bit his trouser leg, whimpering and pulling him, as if trying to lead him somewhere.
Gu Xu originally didn't intend to pay attention to it, but he suddenly discovered that Mianmian's destination was the same as his.
“Gugu…”
The little chinchilla circled around the young man's feet, watching in confusion as he opened the cube and took out the strip of blue ribbon.
Gu Xu looked down at it, with a gentle look in his expression: "So you also understand these things, are you helping?"
Mianmian's subsequent actions further confirmed Gu Xu's guess.
The little chinchilla looked back every few steps and led him back to the bedroom, where he jumped onto the bed and watched him take care of the boy.
“Gugugugu…”
But in fact, Mianmian wanted the other party to help carry the person into the cube...
However, seeing that the boy's condition had improved slightly after applying the strips, Mianmian was no longer anxious. She just looked at Gu Xu with a little admiration.
There is actually such a method!
It’s totally unexpected!
"I still need to get some medicine..."
Gu Xu left in a hurry, and Mianmian followed him subconsciously.
study!
Steal skills!
By the time Gu Chen was woken up to take medicine, Mianmian was already exhausted.
The air conditioner was originally on in the room, but Gu Xu turned it off after discovering that Gu Chen had a fever.
Mianmian followed Gu Xu around without any air conditioning and became exhausted.
Gu Xu looked back and saw Mianmian fell down again. He was extremely anxious.
He wanted to put the chinchilla in the refrigerator to relieve the heat but found that the little guy was not happy about it. He had no choice but to add a few ice pads on Gu Chen's bed and put Mianmian on it to cool it down.
All of this, including Mianmian's initial action of leading people to the refrigerator, was told to Gu Chen by Gu Xu after he was woken up.
“Mianmian…”
Even though he was drowsy, Gu Chen was shocked when he heard this.
He drowsily reached out his hand to the fur ball nearby, and the little creature caught it with its two paws, and he felt a wet touch on his fingertips.
"Mianmian is licking you." Gu Xu sighed as he handed over the medicine, "After it recovered just now, it has been lingering around your head. I looked carefully and found that it was trying to lick your ears to help you cool down."
"It licks the ice pad, then runs back to your ear. I don't know if its tongue can handle it..."
Listening to this, Gu Chen felt a little dazed.
These were what he had done before to help Mianmian relieve heatstroke.
Mianmian actually remembered everything, and continued to try to help him using the same methods as before...
Gu Chen was helped up by Gu Xu and leaned on the backrest made of several pillows stacked together, but while moving, he accidentally touched something. When he picked it up, he saw that it was a few intact chinchilla food.
The boy looked slightly stunned.
It seems that during the time he was unconscious, Mianmian did more than just those things...
My thoughts were interrupted by the medicine and water handed to me.
"Take the medicine first, then get some sleep."
Gu Xu tried to soften his tone: "If anything happens, you can talk to your brother. Don't be afraid."
Gu Chen was quiet for a while.
If it were before, he might not want to talk about anything.
What he heard last night made him doubt all the relationships he had developed during this period.
If those are all fake, then he is really useless.
Perhaps, he had to go back to hiding in his shell like before to avoid having his hopes dashed next time...
but.
However, Mianmian reassured him with her actual actions.
At least, during this period of time, Mianmian's feelings for him were real.
The innocent emotions of small animals can melt away all anxiety and cowardice.
When he woke up, he was moved by Mianmian's behavior. Gu Chen couldn't help but think that if Mianmian could be like this, perhaps the two new friends might also regard him as a normal person and a friend worthy of company at some point.
Even if it might have been because of his brother's entrustment and care in the beginning...but at least, he was not being self-indulgent and treating them as friends.
"you……"
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Chen raised his eyes and asked directly: "You have known Ren You for a long time, right?"
Gu Xu:!
Just when he was happy about his brother's response, the next second, Gu Xu was shocked by the subsequent questions.
"...Ah, yes."
He originally wanted to fool him, but seeing Gu Chen's inexplicably determined eyes, he had no choice but to admit it.
He finally understood why his brother suddenly had a high fever.
The boy's eyes became a little depressed as he admitted this: "So, Ren You only came to me because of your instruction from the beginning?"
"No, it isn't."
Gu Xu must deny this.
He first noticed Ren You because he saw the connection between Ren You and Gu Chen in the live broadcast room, and thought it would be more reasonable to start with him.
Moreover, apart from asking Ren You to try hard to create an opportunity to get Gu Chen's autograph at the exhibition, he did not give Ren You any other commission, so he was displeased when he saw the extra traces left by Ren You in the house last night.
Because he thought Ren You had gained something from the last time, he became more and more aggressive, hoping to gain something from him by winning Gu Chen's favor.
Gu Chen's eyes moved slightly: "So that's it?"
Of course not.
Ren You clarified to Gu Xu that he simply treated Gu Chen as his younger brother, and that he fed him sincerely some time ago. Before he knew it, he and Gu Chen became friends.
On the phone, Ren You kept swearing that he would not use Gu Chen to blackmail for any benefits, and of course this relationship was not motivated by any interests.
"Really, really, if I had any ideas, I would definitely contact you in a roundabout way!"
"Oh, right! I also kidnapped a kitten from Chenchen. He's been fighting with the natives in my area lately. If it was for the sake of people, why would I go through all the trouble to kidnap a cat?"
"At first, I was just jealous of Chenchen's gaming skills and needed help... After getting to know him, I found that this kid was quite interesting. Isn't this a standard friendship route?"
After playing the recording of last night's call, Gu Xu looked at Gu Chen a little nervously: "This is what happened."
The young man he was staring at shifted his eyes, took his medicine slowly, and suddenly asked out of the blue, "What about Yun Huan?"
Gu Xu frowned: "Who is Yun Huan? I don't know him."
Seeing his brother staring blankly with his eyes down, he tried his best to say, "Brother, I don't have any intention of distrusting you or trying to control you. It's just... I'm not very reassured, so I want you to be able to contact the outside world safely, I..."
As he spoke, he felt that his words were pale and he could only sigh.
"elder brother."
Gu Chen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, but his words were completely off topic: "You are watching my live broadcast."
Gu Xu: ...
Gu Xu: “Yes.”
“That’s not good.”
After a pause, Gu Chen said softly: "But I can understand the rest."
The boy put down the cup of water, motioned Gu Xu to come closer, then he opened his arms with difficulty and gave his brother a long-lost hug.
"Thanks for all the trouble."
"Thank you, brother."
[Wow, Chenchen, why weren’t you online yesterday? You gave us a big scare!]
[You suddenly said you were sick. Why did you come today? Did you get enough rest?]
"It's just a cold and a fever, it's nothing serious."
Gu Chen smiled slightly and shared with fans the efforts of the little dragon cat yesterday: "Thanks to Mianmian..."
Fans were shocked.
[What! Give me a dozen of these good Totoro!]
[That’s great, baby. If Chenchen hadn’t said it, I would have thought it was a made-up story. It turns out that small animals are the best!]
[So cute! Just thinking about Mianmian running around and taking care of humans makes me dizzy with cuteness, my dear!]
[How is Chenchen resting? There should be someone taking care of you, right? Do you want to ask Ren You to come over and help?]
"Huh?" Gu Chen was a little surprised when he saw the last comment, "How do you know Ren You...?"
[Hey, you can tell from your recent interactions.]
[Directions (link), they have been teasing me that they recently got a beautiful brother, and I knew it was you, Chenchen, when I saw the time.]
[I thought Chenchen was a lone wolf, but I didn't expect that he had already found a friend. It turns out that offline relationships have infinite possibilities.]
[Let’s go out and play together later! Yunhuan is the queen of vlogs, I’m really looking forward to seeing Chenchen in her videos!]
[There are also cosplay costumes! I want to see Chenchen wearing various cosplay costumes! ]
Checking the link and looking at the records that he didn't know before, his already depressed heart became more stable. Gu Chen looked at the increasingly excited comments and smiled softly: "Well, I will try my best."
Normal life doesn't seem so out of reach anymore.
whisper.
Mianmian squatted on the boy's shoulders and walked with him along a garden path.
"Chenchen! Here!"
The friend waved to the young man and led him to a seat.
And Mianmian naturally jumped off the human's shoulders and rubbed intimately with the small animals at the human's feet.
Pet owners are friends, and pets are of course friends too.
"Meow!"
"Meow~"
Well, it seems there are exceptions.
Watching the two cats starting to quarrel awkwardly again, Mianmian skillfully jumped to Tangbao and started to watch the show.
They would cuddle up to each other after each call, but they always had to have a symbolic fight. Cats are really strange.
"Mianmian is getting bolder and bolder. She even dares to get so close to eat the melon."
"It's weird. How do you manage them, Ren You? Why do they keep fighting?"
"Oh, who knows. I wanted to let Xiaocha go before, but Xiaoqi chased her out again, and the two cats came back fighting. This might be a kind of love-hate relationship..."
"Hahahahaha, that's also a kind of fate."
"It's amazing that we can still be together like this."
Gu Chen squinted his eyes and listened calmly to his friends' jokes. The fruit tea he just drank had a sweet taste lingering on the root of his tongue for a long time.
yes.
It's amazing.
In fact, the way Mianmian gets along with other small animals also reflects Chenchen's condition.
This world is quite mundane so it is hard to write a summary ending, so I will just write a small fragment as the ending.
The next world is the world of divine birds. The details are in the 151th episode.
