Chapter 63 Waist-Length Hair
It has been snowing almost all the time these past few days. Snowflakes drifted in the cold wind, passed through the translucent body of the little black cat, and fell onto the concrete floor, accumulating into a thick layer.
Lu Qingmian carried Jiang Jinyue across the street and stood next to the little black cat.
Jiang Jinyue jumped off Lu Qingmian's back, and his feet softened when they touched the ground. If Lu Qingmian hadn't quickly helped him up, he might have sat down on the ground.
But Jiang Jinyue didn't care about this little thing at the moment. He walked to the little black cat, squatted by the road like the little black cat, and looked at the road in front of him with it.
There was little traffic on the road late at night, and the little black cat had a dull look in its eyes. A closer look revealed that its body was trembling slightly.
"How long have you been here?" Jiang Jinyue asked softly.
Maybe it was because Jiang Jinyue's ability became stronger after this Mary Sue incident, but this time the little black cat didn't ignore him. Instead, it turned its head and looked at him in confusion.
Jiang Jinyue took off her big scarf, put it on her arm and supported it on the little black cat's head to block the falling snowflakes.
"Are you cold?"
The little black cat looked up at its thick scarf, finally revealing a bit of its kitten-like liveliness. It stretched out its little paws to grab the scarf, "Meow?"
Seeing this, Jiang Jinyue wanted to wrap the little black cat with a scarf, but the scarf went through the little black cat's body and fell to the ground.
Looking at the scarf covered with snowflakes, Jiang Jinyue's eyes became slightly hot and his throat choked slightly.
He forgot that the little black cat had died long ago.
The little black cat lowered its head, its thin and broken ears trembled, and it raised its paw to step on its neckline which it could not reach.
Jiang Jinyue raised his hand and gently touched the little black cat's head. He thought he couldn't touch anything, but unexpectedly, he felt a hint of warmth at his fingertips.
He turned around and looked at Lu Qingmian in surprise, "Lu Qingmian, I can touch it!"
Lu Qingmian also squatted down and tried to stretch out his hand, but his fingers passed through the little black cat's body.
"You should be the only one who can touch it, or it should be that it wants you to touch it."
The little black cat lowered its head obediently, allowing Jiang Jinyue to touch its little head back and forth.
Jiang Jinyue thought that the temperature of the soul would be cold, but not hot. However, he didn't expect that the little black cat's soul was warm.
He moved his fingertips downwards, along the little black cat's back, and touched his skinny body. Through a thin layer of skin, he could feel almost all of the little black cat's broken ribs.
"How did you die?" Jiang Jinyue murmured softly.
He simply knelt on the ground, lowered his body as much as possible, lowered his head, and gently touched his forehead against the little black cat's forehead.
Light and shadow flashed before his eyes, and fragments of memories flashed before Jiang Jinyue's eyes like fragments of a mirror, piecing together the short and weak life of the little black cat.
In the little black cat's short life, there are dangers and fears everywhere. Humans walking upright are like huge monsters, and they will chase it with sticks and other miscellaneous objects. Its mother was beaten to death by a passerby with a stick. There was no special reason, just because he thought it was an eyesore.
The little black cat's brothers and sisters also did not escape from the stick. Only the little black cat survived by running all the way. It spent its days guarding the trash can on the side of the road, eating garbage, and living in fear. Before it froze to death in winter, it was kicked out of the road by an unhappy adult who got up early for work and was crushed by a speeding car.
Its small body became a bloody mess and was scooped up by the sanitation worker with a frown and thrown into the trash can.
This short memory made Jiang Jinyue feel as if he were there again. He didn't come back to his senses until Lu Qingmian put her hand on his shoulder.
A teardrop fell on the ground in front of me. The snowflakes were melted by the hot tears and soon condensed into ice in the cold wind.
Jiang Jinyue stretched out his hand and stroked the little black cat's thin back again and again. The little black cat was like countless other kittens. Its head was very simple. It didn't understand anything yet. Before it had time to understand anything, it had already lost its life.
But it is born with kindness. It knows that being crushed by a car is very painful, so it stays here all the time and doesn't want others to feel pain.
Jiang Jinyue opened her arms, "Can I hug you?"
The little black cat was lowering its head and trying with its little paws to touch the snow that had frozen after being melted by Jiang Jinyue's tears, but it was a soul and could not touch anything.
Hearing Jiang Jinyue's words, the little black cat raised its head, tilted its head and thought for a while, then suddenly jumped into Jiang Jinyue's arms.
Jiang Jinyue hugged the little black cat tightly, didn't want Lu Qingmian to go to him, and turned to walk towards H University.
"Let's go find your little friend, and then... I'll take you to heaven."
At this time, H University had been closed. Jiang Jinyue and Lu Qingmian skillfully climbed over the broken fence at the back of the school and walked straight to the flower bed outside the girls' dormitory.
In the dark night, the little white cat, wrapped in a rustling black plastic bag, lay alone beside the flower bed.
Hearing the noise, the little white cat immediately pricked up its ears, turned its head, and saw Jiang Jinyue. The little white cat let down its guard. It seemed to still remember Jiang Jinyue. As Jiang Jinyue approached, the little white cat saw the little black cat in Jiang Jinyue's arms, and ran over curiously.
If it wasn't Jiang Jinyue, but just any passerby, they wouldn't be able to see the little white cat and would just think it was a tattered black plastic bag blown up by the wind.
The little white cat ran to Jiang Jinyue's feet and meowed for the first time.
"Meow."
The sound is very soft and small, and you can't hear it unless you listen carefully.
Jiang Jinyue squatted down, stretched out his hand to the little white cat, and asked again: "Can I hug you?"
Because the little black cat was already in Jiang Jinyue's arms, the little white cat jumped into Jiang Jinyue's arms without hesitation.
Jiang Jinyue lowered his head, found the little white cat's head and pressed it close to it, and saw the little white cat's memory again.
The little white cat's memory was the same as what Li Xuexi said. It had never even seen its mother. The first person it saw when it opened its eyes was the arsonist and cat abuser who was taken away by the police. Its life was just like the little black cat's, short and painful.
It will stay here because the only light in its life buried it here, and also because that light will occasionally come to see it.
After reading the little white cat's memories, Jiang Jinyue's tears had already burst out.
He solemnly took off his woolen hat, revealing two furry cat ears and a bald head.
"In heaven, there are flowers everywhere, birds singing, and the fragrance of flowers. No one will harm you, and you will never go hungry again. You can live there forever."
Lu Qingmian also took off his hat and stood quietly by the side, accompanying Jiang Jinyue.
Jiang Jinyue opened the zipper of his coat, grabbed his cat's tail in his hand, and suddenly pulled out a lot of hair from the cat's tail with force.
He plucked so fast and hard that a piece of skin was even exposed where the hair was plucked.
Seeing this, Lu Qingmian frowned slightly, but did not stop Jiang Jinyue.
The little black cat and the little white cat also looked at Jiang Jinyue strangely. Although their little heads were simple, they knew that Jiang Jinyue would be in pain.
The two kittens used their little heads to push Jiang Jinyue's hands to stop him from pulling it out.
Jiang Jinyue suppressed his cry of pain, smiled gently at the two little cat souls, walked to a corner with no surveillance and back against the building, and began to dig the snow-covered ground with his bare hands.
Seeing this, Lu Qingmian wanted to help, but was stopped by Jiang Jinyue.
“Only the soil I dig is useful.”
Soon, Jiang Jinyue dug a small hole, buried the plucked tricolor hairs in it, and carefully covered it with soil.
He knelt in front of the buried pit, clasped his red, frozen hands together in front of his chest, and closed his eyes.
"The Kitten God will take care of every kind little animal."
As soon as Jiang Jinyue finished speaking, a golden light came out from the ground. Soon, a seedling shining with golden light broke through the soil and grew to more than one meter tall in the blink of an eye.
The seedling was surrounded by golden light. When the golden light gradually dissipated, the seedling, which had grown into a small tree, revealed its true appearance.
It was a tree whose surface was covered with fur of the same color as Jiang Jinyue's fur, but the appearance of this tree was very strange. Although the trunk was slender, it had huge leaves that looked like plush blankets. The leaves stretched out like small beds for kittens to sleep on.
The little black cat and the little white cat seemed to sense something and looked towards the big furry tree that was still growing.
Jiang Jinyue gently pushed the backs of the two kitten souls and said, "Go quickly. This tree can take you to heaven."
The little black cat and the little white cat cried out, jumped onto the big furry tree together, and found a comfortable furry leaf to lie down on.
As the trunk of the tree continued to rise, the leaves on which the souls of the two kittens lay also rose.
Tiny rays of light continued to flow down from the edge of the leaves like a star curtain, illuminating the two shiny bald heads of Jiang Jinyue and Lu Qingmian.
The little black cat and the little white cat wanted to take another look at them, but they only saw two big light bulbs, and they couldn't even see their facial features under the flashing light.
The little white cat meowed, and suddenly jumped down from the fluffy leaves nimbly and pounced on Jiang Jinyue. It bumped Jiang Jinyue's forehead with its little head, then turned around neatly and crawled back along the big leaves.
The next moment, the little black cat also ran down, but it rushed towards Lu Qingmian, stepped on Lu Qingmian's head like stepping on a leaf, and then used the force to jump back.
Lu Qingmian should not have been able to touch the souls of these two kittens, but the moment the little black cat stepped on his head, he truly felt a weight. Even when the little black cat used the force to jump up, Lu Qingmian's head was stepped on and tilted.
Lu Qingmian: “…”
The two kittens nestled back into the big fluffy leaves, poked out their little heads, and looked at Jiang Jinyue and Lu Qingmian quietly. As the tree grew taller, their little figures gradually disappeared.
Jiang Jinyue looked up and saw that the growing furry tree had already passed through the clouds. He didn't know how long it would continue to grow.
"I forgot to say goodbye..." Jiang Jinyue murmured softly as he looked at the huge furry tree that stretched as far as the eye could see, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart.
Lu Qingmian placed his hand on Jiang Jinyue's shoulder, "Didn't they just come to say goodbye?"
Jiang Jinyue smiled with relief, "Yes, they will be happy in the future."
Lu Qingmian was about to speak when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his hand, as if a piece of hair had slipped across his back. He immediately turned his head and saw that Jiang Jinyue had grown beautiful black hair as smooth as silk in the blink of an eye. The black hair grew very fast and stopped growing until it reached waist length.
Jiang Jinyue also reacted. He scratched his hair and thought of the time when the little white cat jumped down and hit his forehead. He immediately looked at Lu Qingmian again.
After Jiang Jinyue's hair grew back, Lu Qingmian also grew waist-length black hair, which was obviously a gift left by the little black cat when it stepped on his head.
The two people looked at each other for a moment with their hair disheveled in the winter night, and suddenly burst into laughter.
After laughing a few times, Lu Qingmian put his arm around Jiang Jinyue's shoulders, covered his mouth, and pointed to the dormitory building not far away.
Jiang Jinyue nodded with an understanding look on his face. Although the two of them stopped laughing, they were still laughing quietly with their heads touching each other.
The plush tree grew for a long time. They didn't dare to leave until the tree disappeared, so they waited by the side.
The temperature at night was extremely low, and even if both of them were wearing thick coats, they could not stay outdoors for a long time.
Lu Qingmian simply tore off his coat and pulled Jiang Jinyue into his arms. They hugged each other tightly, absorbing each other's body warmth.
After holding on for nearly an hour, the plush tree finally stopped growing. At the moment it stopped growing, the entire tree suddenly shattered and disappeared, leaving no trace.
Jiang Jinyue looked at the empty little pit on the ground, feeling a little melancholy.
"Let's go back." Lu Qingmian said.
The two looked at each other and then walked towards the Rhine Community.
On the way back, Jiang Jinyue touched his own hair, then touched Lu Qingmian's hair, and said with a smile:
"Shall we go to the barber shop together tomorrow?"
Not counting the time when his teacher helped him shave his head, Jiang Jinyue hasn’t officially been to a barber shop since he recovered.
Lu Qingmian obviously thought of something and laughed along: "Okay, do you want a perm?"
Jiang Jinyue poked Lu Qingmian's waist, "I don't want to! Why don't you perm your hair? Your hair is long enough now!"
Two sets of messy footprints were left in the snow, showing the intimacy of the owners, and the laughter lingered in the cold wind for a long time.
The two finally returned to the Rhine community, took a hot shower, and lay down in the soft bed together.
Jiang Jinyue was tired and sleepy. He rested his head on Lu Qingmian's arm, but refused to sleep. He forced himself to write a diary on his mobile phone in "Yue's Nest".
The tips of his ten fingers were red and slightly frostbitten, and he was fiddling with his phone slowly.
Lu Qingmian couldn't stand it anymore and simply snatched Jiang Jinyue's phone away. Jiang Jinyue resisted in vain and closed his eyes.
Before going to sleep, he suddenly asked softly:
"Have they reached heaven yet?"
Lu Qingmian lowered his head and gently kissed Jiang Jinyue's forehead.
"arrive."
