The moonlight poured down like water, just reflecting the shadow on the window.
Ghosts shouldn't be furry balls, right?
Xu Haoming was thinking, when he saw Lu Xu open the window, and the round shadow immediately came in, dived into Lu Xu's arms and meowed non-stop.
Song Zhe got out of bed and turned on the light. Only then did everyone realize that Lu Xu was holding a shiny orange cat in his arms. It had a round body and a round head, and it nestled in Lu Xu's arms like a child, with its watery eyes rolling around.
When they looked at the cat, the cat was also looking at them.
"Brother Xu, this could be your Eighth Sister, right?" Even Xu Haoming found this question a little unbelievable.
You know, Eighth Sister is a cat, not a dog, and has never been to the apartment before. It's just a kitten, how could it be possible to do that.
But before he could figure it out, Lu Xu had already given a positive answer: "Yes, this is my Eighth Sister."
"Huh?" Let alone Xu Haoming, anyone who heard it would find it unbelievable.
Han Tianyu came up and stared at Bamei again and again, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you think it appeared in the apartment?"
Lu Xu rubbed Bamei's head and gently put it on the ground: "It must have missed me after watching the show at home."
Now even Song Zhe felt a little speechless: "You mean, your cat found this place by itself?"
Lu Xu nodded: "Yeah, it probably walked a long way."
Seeing that Bamei was licking her feet out of habit, Lu Xu stopped her immediately: "Let's go, take a shower first."
Lu Xu's words might be useful if he said them to a child, but this Bamei looked like a cat no matter how you looked at her, it would be strange if she could understand what he said.
However, what happened next opened Xu Haoming's eyes.
After Lu Xu finished speaking, he walked towards the bathroom. Eighth Sister followed him, wagging her tail and shaking her butt.
"Huh?"
The other three looked at each other, feeling curious.
Xu Haoming did not hesitate. When he saw Lu Xu taking his cat to the bathroom, he immediately chased after him, wanting to see how the cat took a bath.
Eighth Sister sat on the ground obediently, tilting her head and watching Lu Xu take down the shower to test the water temperature.
"Isn't it afraid of water?" Xu Haoming had never raised a cat before. Although he didn't know much about cats, he remembered that he seemed to have read somewhere that cats resist taking a bath.
"Our Eighth Sister is a clean little cat." Lu Xu adjusted the water temperature and put his hand on Eighth Sister's neck. He found his own shampoo and rubbed bubbles for Eighth Sister. "You came suddenly and there is nothing for you here. Just make do with it for now."
Eighth Sister rubbed Lu Xu's palm with "meow meow", as if she understood.
Magical.
Xu Haoming leaned against the door frame and saw the warm water wet the fur of Eighth Sister. He realized that the cats on the Internet are all fat and become skinny when their fur is wet. Only Eighth Sister is really fat. She is still round after being soaked in water, and looks very cute.
Eighth Sister came suddenly. It was almost midnight when Lu Xu washed and dried her.
But no one thought that Eighth Sister was irritable, and even felt happy.
Eighth Sister sat on the table and licked her fur, while the other three surrounded her and observed the kitten closely. They took pictures of Eighth Sister with their mobile phones, and were afraid to do so. They asked Lu Xu questions about Eighth Sister from time to time, and obviously wanted to know where such a cute cat came from.
Lu Xu came out of the bathroom and saw this scene, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The whole dormitory looked like a large cat-sucking scene.
Eighth Sister has a round face, and her cheeks look cute when they peeped out. Even he likes Eighth Sister, so the reactions of the three of them are normal.
It's just that Eighth Sister is more arrogant, and she is too lazy to respond to people's enthusiasm. It seems that except for Lu Xu, Eighth Sister is reserved and noble in front of everyone.
"Brother Xu, what are you going to do with Eighth Sister?" This was probably the first time that a pet came to visit the owner while he was recording a show.
"Let's report to Director Fan tomorrow when we get up." Lu Xu picked up Eighth Sister and threw her on his bed, then urged the three of them to go to bed quickly, "Hurry up and get some rest, we still have to record the MV tomorrow."
Song Zhe thought for a moment and said, "To be safe, let's set an alarm so we don't get up too late."
Eighth Sister yawned on the bed with her mouth wide open, then rested her head on her front legs and listened to them quietly.
When Lu Xu climbed up, Eighth Sister quickly turned over on her belly, with her four paws facing the sky, and said "Gulu" "Gulu" to Lu Xu.
Lu Xu rubbed its soft belly and said softly, "You've worked hard today, go to bed early, dear."
Bamei responded with a "meow" and soon fell asleep.
Lu Xu looked at the little girl sleeping in a circle beside him, and his heart was inevitably soft - it was more than ten kilometers from the People's Hospital to here, and Bamei would naturally be tired after walking all the way.
"Silly child."
Lu Xu complained in his heart, and then took out his mobile phone to send a message to Xie An: "Bamei has arrived at my place, don't worry." "
Okay."
Although he knew that Bamei was not an ordinary kitten, Xie An would inevitably worry if it ran away by itself. After replying Lu Xu's message, he continued to work. Since Lu Xu went on a mission, the business in this area of West Street has basically been contracted by Xie An alone.
The superiors considered that it might be difficult for him to do the job alone, and thought about transferring another person. But Xie An refused, saying that he could do it without wasting manpower.
After Xie An counted the customer information of the day and sent it out, he caught a glimpse of the yellowed file under the small table and reached out to pull it out.
Nowadays, customer information is managed through the Internet, but this one is a paper file. It was written in pen on it, 1970-02-27, and it has been fifty years since then.
Just looking at the date, you can tell that this is a file that should have been submitted long ago, but it was suppressed by Xie An.
"It's been so many years, it can be sent away immediately, it shouldn't be discovered..." Xie An thought, and put the file back. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy. He
just hoped that time would come soon, so that there would be no more trouble.
***
The sun shone through the curtains into the room, and a new day had clearly arrived.
Xu Haoming found his phone and squinted to check the time, only to find that he woke up before the alarm rang. Seeing that everyone was playing with their phones, he yawned and got up from bed, turned over, put on his slippers, and went to the bathroom with sleepy eyes.
"Huh?"
He saw the chubby orange cat squatting on the toilet, with its tail raised high, obviously taking a defecation.
Xu Haoming then remembered that Lu Xu's eighth sister came to the dormitory yesterday, so, was the cat squatting on the toilet?
"Meow..." The eighth sister didn't like people watching her taking a defecation, and meowed twice when she saw Xu Haoming come in. After finishing taking a defecation, she jumped on it again, raised her paw and pressed the flush switch, then landed, and walked out of the bathroom with elegant steps.
The whole process was smooth and it was obvious that this cat was not the first time squatting on the toilet.
Xu Haoming was completely sober and even forgot about the drainage process. He jumped out directly to share his discovery with everyone: "Do you know, Eighth Sister can actually use the toilet!"
Han Tianyu sat up suddenly: "Oh my God, is it true?"
"Really, I saw it with my own eyes!" Xu Haoming pointed at the bathroom and then at Eighth Sister, and imitated Eighth Sister's movements and continued, "Eighth Sister can also flush the toilet!" Is
this possible?
Xu Haoming couldn't help but ask Lu Xu: "Brother Xu, how did you train her?"
Lu Xu glanced at the eighth sister who was lying on the bed busy licking her fur, and smiled: "No training, the eighth sister learned it by herself."
"Wow! Bu Kui is my eighth sister, she is really smart and cute!"
Han Tianyu frowned and looked at Xu Haoming when he heard it, and said with some disgust: "Old Xu, what's wrong with you, you have been talking in a coquettish voice since yesterday, and I have goose bumps." Turning his head and seeing the furry eighth sister, he couldn't help but soften his voice, "But our eighth sister is indeed cute and smart!"
Song Zhe chuckled: "You are still talking about Haoming, don't you talk like this yourself."
"Gurgle..."
Several people looked over in the direction of the sound and saw Eighth Sister pressing her stomach with her paws, looking at Lu Xu eagerly with a pitiful look.
Xu Haoming felt distressed: "Is my Eighth Sister hungry?"
"Yeah." Eighth Sister has a big appetite to begin with, and she walked so far last night, so she should be hungry. "Let's go, I'll take you to have breakfast."
There are no cats in the apartment, so there is naturally no such thing as cat food. Fortunately, there is meat in the cafeteria, so Lu Xu prepared to take Eighth Sister to the restaurant.
As a result, the other three immediately expressed their opinions: "I can give all my meat today to Eighth Sister, but I can't let the little baby get hungry."
Lu Xu looked at the three grown men circling around Eighth Sister, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
There were many trainees eating in the restaurant. When they saw Lu Xu carrying a cat in his arms, their eyes lit up.
"What the hell, what is this? A kitten!"
"Ahhh, Brother Xu, is this the Eighth Sister you mentioned in your show?"
"Oh my god, it's so cute, can I touch it?"
Not long after, more than a dozen trainees gathered together and wanted to touch Eighth Sister as a group.
Xu Lele took out his phone and took a photo with Eighth Sister. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. Look at her perfect round figure, look at her fur that feels as soft and smooth as silk, look at her soft and elastic belly, look at her thick little legs and pink pads...
Ahhhh, how can there be such a cute creature as a cat in the world!!!
"Brother Xu, is this a surprise prepared for you by the program team?"
Not only Xu Lele, almost everyone thought so when they saw Eighth Sister.
After all, in yesterday's program, Lu Xu just said that he only had a cat, and then the cat appeared. I didn't expect the program team to be so humane. It's so heartwarming to send a cat.
"Oh, Lu Xu, your treatment is too good." Some people were envious and a little jealous. They couldn't help but think that the program team went to so much trouble to send a cat, which showed how much they valued Lu Xu. When
Xu Haoming heard them say that Yue was wrong, he immediately explained: "It was not arranged by the program team. Our Eighth Sister came here by herself in the middle of the night."
"How could she come here by herself?" Someone sneered at the moment, thinking that Xu Haoming was taking them for fools. This is a cat, not a person, how could it sneak into the apartment at night.
At this time, Fan Zeng came to the restaurant with his assistant and VJ. When the assistant told him that Lu Xu's cat had come, Fan Zeng still thought it was incredible, until he saw it with his own eyes and found out that it was true.
"Brother Fan is here!" The sharp-eyed intern saw Fan Zeng and immediately asked loudly, "Brother Fan, is this cat taken over by the program team?"
"Of course not, we don't even know where Lu Xu's cat lives." Fan Zeng himself was also surprised, walked over and stared at Ba Mei again and again, raised his head and asked Lu Xu, "Did it come last night?"
"Yeah." Lu Xu nodded, rubbed Ba Mei's head and smiled softly.
Han Tianyu couldn't help but speak up: "Eighth Sister really came here by herself. She squatted on the balcony and knocked on the glass in the middle of the night. We thought it was a ghost at first, hahaha..."
Fan Zeng felt uncomfortable when he heard the word "ghost", but soon his attention returned to Eighth Sister, and he didn't forget to ask Lu Xu: "Do you mind if your Eighth Sister appears on camera?"
"As long as Eighth Sister is willing." As a guardian, Lu Xu still respects his cat's right to choose. Seeing Fan Zeng looking at Eighth Sister with a smile, as if he had found some treasure, Lu Xu asked at the right time: "Brother Fan, do you think I should let Eighth Sister stay for two days or send her back today?"
Eighth Sister is beautiful and cute, and the fact that she came to Lu Xu by herself is a topic in itself.
The more Fan Zeng looked at Bamei, the cuter she seemed. He immediately waved his hand and decided: "What do you mean by sending her away? It's not easy for Bamei to come out on her own. As long as it doesn't affect your training, Bamei can stay with you."
"Meow..."
Bamei seemed to understand. She stood up and walked over, rubbing her head against Fan Zeng's palm, which was quite flattering.
Oh my god!
Fan Zeng didn't know how to describe his current mood. He was a rough man in his forties or fifties, but now he felt his heart softened when Bamei rubbed him.
This cat is too cute!
Trying hard to suppress the urge to rub Bamei's belly, Fan Zeng clapped his hands to signal the trainees who were staring at Bamei to come back to their senses: "Alright, that's enough, just satisfy your eyes. You must finish shooting the MV for me today and tomorrow, okay?"
"Got it!"
a group of trainees replied excitedly, but still couldn't help but steal a glance at Bamei again - the little kitten is so cute.
Xu Lele wanted to take two more puffs of Ba Mei, but was dragged away by her teammates: "Ba Mei is right there and can't run away, let's go and get the dance done first, okay?"
"Okay, okay."
Xu Lele reluctantly followed her teammates out. Before she left, someone was standing there, looking in suspiciously.
Xu Lele immediately strode over, and the person immediately ran away.
When Xu Lele left, she only saw a figure leaving in a hurry.
"Strange, what happened to Lan Gaojie?" Xu Lele recognized him, after all, the jump from F to A was impressive.
Just when he felt something was wrong, his teammate called him from behind: "What are you doing? Go practice quickly."
"Coming!" Xu Lele responded quickly, then ran to find his teammate, and soon put the matter behind him.
Seeing that he was a little absent-minded, his teammate wanted to spur him on, and whispered to him: "Do you know how hard others work? I heard that some people practice until midnight every day, and continue practicing at four or five in the morning."
"So strong, do they not sleep? So who is working so hard?"
"I don't know, every time they come in, they slip away. I guess they want to improve secretly without our knowledge..."
***
At 8:15 in the morning, the ratings of national television programs were counted.
Although I was prepared, the production team was still excited when they saw that "The Birth of an Idol" firmly sat at the top with a 3.1% rating.
The first broadcast broke the record for the highest ratings of variety shows throughout the year. This is a great start!
You know, Dongcheng TV Station hasn't had a program with a rating of over 3 in two years. Soon, "The Birth of an Idol" became a hot search again because of its ratings.
Netizens clicked on it and found that the official Weibo of the program team had just sent a new Weibo.
@Idol's Birth Official V: The first broadcast broke 3, which is a cause for celebration. Here is a high-definition photo of Lu Xu and Ba Mei as a small gift. I hope you will accompany me in the future. 【Kiss】【Photo】
Click on the big picture to see a handsome boy with delicate features hugging a tangerine cat and smiling. It is warm and makes people unable to help but be moved.
The comments below surged—— 【@

This is a bit too much. I thought the program was sincere, but I didn't expect that this stupid story would be used to hype it up. It’s better to say that it’s a surprise prepared by the program team, a bit disgusting~~】 【@柯可乐加百事: I like Lu Xu and think cats are cute, but can you please not do this kind of hype? Even dogs may not be able to find their owners, let alone cats that stay at home】 【@一只酸檸蒙: They are obviously talented but still use cats for hype, I don’t understand why】 … There are quite a few people who are skeptical, and some even left comments on Lu Xu’s Weibo with a bit of regret - 【@扶郎花开: Xuxu you are really a very talented contestant, so if the program team asks you to cooperate with the hype, can you not agree? 】 【@咬出一齎月亮: Just play the game properly and don’t act like a troublemaker. I just became your fan yesterday and I don’t want to lose you because of something like this】 【@你禿頭小寶貝: I think the cat’s story is really low. I wanted to come in and scold you, but when I thought of your face I chose to forgive you. Please, stop being naughty] ... Seeing that everyone was questioning, the program team randomly released a video - [@Idol's Birth Official V: Actually, our editor didn't believe that a kitten could come to find its owner alone at first, but surveillance doesn't lie, so we specially adjusted several surveillance videos near the apartment. After watching it, you will understand how we feel now {video}] The video selected surveillance footage from multiple angles, and only saw a kitten leisurely strolling from the Second Ring Road to the East City TV Station and then slipping to the apartment where the trainees lived. Occasionally, when he was tired of walking, he would jump on the bus to catch a ride, get off at the stop and continue. No one knows how this cat did it, but at midnight, it successfully appeared under the trainee dormitory and climbed up to the second floor along the wall. [@低调小李在在线手棚: Oh my god, isn't this really a sci-fi movie or something? Why do I feel like my IQ is not as good as a cat's?] [@一顆甜糖: What kind of fairy cat is this! Look at Lu Xu's Eighth Sister and then look at my kid, and suddenly I know what other people's children are】 【@今日我貓了嘛: Aww, Eighth Sister is so cute, I really want to rub her】 【@咕咕明天日10,000: Aww, I can't help but let my imagination run wild, could it be that Eighth Sister was possessed by some peerless genius, with a cat's body and a human soul, and then turned into a cool heroine, hahaha】 ... As early as the moment he knew that Eighth Sister had come by herself, Fan Zeng knew that this would definitely bring heat to the show. As long as there is heat, there will be attention. In this way, Lu Xu is really a treasure, and Eighth Sister is also a mascot. He asked the staff to check the surveillance early to dispel the doubts of netizens. Thinking of the cute little cat, Fan Zeng couldn't help but instruct his assistant: "Buy the best cat food, and arrange all the canned snacks for Eighth Sister..." When Ji Xiunian came in, he happened to hear Fan Zeng making lavish purchases for Eighth Sister again, and asked curiously: "Eighth Sister, is it Lu Xu's cat?" Fan Zeng turned around and saw Ji Xiunian, smiled and nodded: "Yes." He immediately pulled Ji Xiunian aside and told him the story of Eighth Sister's adventures. At the end, he sighed: "How can there be such a smart cat in the world?" Hearing him say this, Ji Xiunian suddenly became a little curious about the cat.
Seeing that the recording time was about to arrive, Ji Xiunian smiled at Fan Zeng and said, "Then I'll go first, Brother Fan."
"Go ahead, go ahead. You'll have to work hard today too."
As soon as he left the director's room, the former F4 followed him. He Xinghua looked at him eagerly, "Good morning, Brother Nian."
"Morning."
Ji Xiunian couldn't tell what was going on now.
Before, these four ghosts were following Lu Xu, but since they knew he could see them, they changed their target and have been following him since last night. They originally wanted to talk, but they didn't show up in the first half of the night, saying that they went to the dance studio. Of
course, Ji Xiunian wouldn't let them in if they knocked on the door so late at night, but it was scary to see them floating outside the window in the middle of the night, smiling and waving their hands.
It didn't seem like they wanted to hurt him. They were polite like new trainees.
Ji Xiunian really didn't understand, and finally whispered: "Warehouse on the first floor at 9 o'clock tonight, don't be late again."
F4 nodded and responded: "Thank you, Brother Nian, I was too focused on practicing dancing yesterday, I won't be able to do it today!"
Ji Xiunian nodded slightly, and didn't say anything else, lest others think it's strange.
F4 didn't force it, just followed him to the studio. Lu Xu was the center of the recording today, and they had to go over to cheer him up.
The stage in the studio was gorgeous, and the staff were busy adjusting the screen background.
As soon as Ji Xiunian walked in, he saw a group of people taking pictures around a cat, including the other three mentors of the program group.
Among the three instructors, the eighth sister liked Qin Kewei the most. She lay in her arms and ate the beef jerky fed by Shen Chengyu.
"Meow!" The eighth sister, who had been eating quietly, suddenly stood up and looked at Ji Xiunian, jumping off Qin Kewei's legs.
"Ah, the kitten didn't cry because it saw us!"
"Yes, yes, it seems that cats can see ghosts. Will we scare it?"
F4 talked about it together, and even debated whether to leave now.
However, she just glanced at them lightly, and then walked to Ji Xiunian's calf with small steps and rubbed it. Seeing that Ji Xiunian was still in a daze, he simply lay on the ground, with his four legs up in the air, exposing his soft white belly. He looked at it with his round eyes and called out in a baby voice: "Meow..."
Ji Xiunian subconsciously squatted down and touched Bamei's head. The little girl immediately moved closer to him, obviously very intimate.
Ji Xiunian picked up Bamei and felt something in his heart become unusually soft.
"Bamei never shows her belly in front of others," Lu Xu jumped down from the stage and walked in front of Ji Xiunian, smiling meaningfully: "It seems that it likes you too."
