Lone Star
"We're here." Wu Siqi brought Yi Ning to the control console on the side of the stage. She squatted next to the electrical box. "The capacitors are all over here. See if you can use them. If not, I'll find someone to adjust the equipment for you."
Yi Ning also squatted beside her, huddled up with her hands on her knees. She looked at the electrical box Wu Siqi pointed at and nodded obediently: "It works. No need to trouble you to adjust the equipment."
"That's fine." The two people were a little too close, and the man's scent was about to reach his nose. Wu Siqi stood up quickly. Unfortunately, he felt dizzy when he stood up from squatting. His blood pressure could not be pumped up to his brain, and his vision suddenly darkened.
Yi Ning: "Be careful!"
It took a while for Muguro to come back to her senses. Wu Siqi realized that she was being held by the other person's waist, and Yi Ning was staring at her nervously. She awkwardly looked away and escaped from the other person's shackles.
Wu Siqi touched his nose and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Yi Ning put his hand back to his side, "Do you have low blood sugar?"
Wu Siqi straightened his clothes, which were not at all messy. "No, I just squatted and stood up too suddenly, that's all. Now that it's confirmed, I'll take you to get the car. The scene here is not ready yet, and it's quite dusty."
Yi Ning agreed this time without hesitation, "Okay."
After sending the person to the car, Wu Siqi stood by the roadside and waved to Yi Ning: "Bye, drive carefully."
Yi Ning rolled down the window and waved to her, saying softly, "Bye, see you tomorrow."
Wu Siqi was somehow moved by her soft voice and smiled gently: "Well, see you tomorrow."
Back at the event, Xu Tingting came over and asked, "Teacher, was that Yi Ning from the Underworld Party?"
Wu Siqi: "It's her. I wanted you to take her to see the electrical box. Have you distributed the new procedures for tomorrow's rehearsal?"
"It's all done." Xu Tingting pouted aggrievedly, holding Wu Siqi's arm, "Teacher, thank goodness you're here. I was scared to death. I haven't eaten yet. Teacher, let's go eat and come back to deal with the work after dinner. People are iron and rice is steel!"
Wu Siqi hadn't eaten anything all day, and after being reminded of this, he felt hungry. "Let's go, let's go eat first."
"Hehe, there's a store nearby that I've always wanted to visit. Now that you're here, teacher, I'll treat you to a meal!" Xu Tingting still held her arm and pulled her towards the mall.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Xu Tingting still walked out of the mall with Wu Siqi on her arm. She complained bitterly, "It's unpalatable! It's so unpalatable. The rating must have been faked. Teacher, this treat doesn't count. It's so unpalatable!"
It really wasn't tasty. Wu Siqi, who wasn't very particular about food, also found it a little hard to swallow. She didn't agree to Xu Tingting's request, but changed the subject, "One good meal, one bad meal. I wonder how Sister Jin and the others are doing with the handover to the new engineering team."
Xu Tingting: "They just sent me a message, everything is going smoothly. I still need to do a background check when I contact the engineering team next time." She paused and added, the same goes for the band!
Wu Siqi shook her head helplessly. The subsequent work went unexpectedly smoothly. The entire venue was set up before nightfall. She was doing the final proofreading with the control panel staff, and after proofreading, today's work came to an end.
Xu Tingting ran over with her phone in hand, excited: "Teacher, teacher!"
Wu Siqi took off her monitoring headphones and asked, "What's wrong?" The control room staff also looked at her curiously.
The person in front of him was dancing with joy, spouting the news he'd just learned like pouring out beans. "The news of that band's strike has spread like wildfire. Several collaborations have been canceled. The few promotional materials I found have all been withdrawn. They were forced to strike, and now they're in big trouble!"
"You're talking about this. I know." Wu Siqi calmly took the monitoring headphones back and signaled him to continue testing.
Xu Tingting was surprised by the teacher's calmness. She blinked several times before realizing the truth behind the calmness. "Did you do this, teacher?"
"Well," Wu Siqi returned the monitoring headphones to the control desk staff, "It's not just me. The main surgeon is Boss Cui. The Legal Department should send a letter to them after the event is over."
Xu Tingting smiled gleefully and said, "Serves you right."
Wu Siqi first said to the control desk staff, "Everything is debugged, you can go home." He then said to Xu Tingting, "Have you dealt with everything over there? Why don't you come here and gossip?"
"It's done. I can go home now." Xu Tingting looked at Wu Siqi with starry eyes, admiring him. "Teacher, you are amazing. You destroyed that band without making any noise. Can you please not transfer me to another group? I still need to study hard with you."
Wu Siqi was packing his things when he looked up. "Why? You're more than capable of handling things on your own. You know the leader of Team C has resigned, so you're being transferred there to take over."
Xu Tingting took her hand and said coquettishly, "Teacher, I'm not good enough, please don't transfer me over. I think Sister Jin really wants to go over there. Can you talk to Boss Cui and transfer her over?"
Wu Siqi was dizzy from being shaken, and he pulled her wrist hard to make her stop. "Okay, okay, I'll discuss the transfer with Boss Cui. Stop shaking me, I'm dizzy."
"Thank you, teacher. You are the best. I will always work under you." Xu Tingting stood on tiptoe, hugged her left arm, half-hugging her and leaning on her shoulder to act coquettishly.
Wu Siqi treated it as a child's pampering, ignored the words that he should keep working on himself, and curled his lips helplessly.
She looked at her watch and it was already past eight o'clock. "Let's go home after get off work. It's very late." She sent a message to the work group, saying that they could go home after work and would start the process rehearsal on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. There was no need to reply to this message.
Xu Tingting still hugged her: "Teacher, let me take you home."
Wu Siqi shook his head and said, "No need. You should go back and rest early. You will be busy tomorrow." He pushed her hand that was on his shoulder away.
"Okay." Xu Tingting took a half step back helplessly.
Still taking the subway home, Wu Siqi passed by the eaves of that rainy night again. It was not too late, so she stopped and looked carefully to see if there was a missing cat notice posted here.
There wasn't a single missing cat notice, but there were a few missing person notices. The missing children listed in the notices were all under ten years old. After reading them, Wu Siqi felt regretful for a moment.
She turned around twice but found nothing, so she turned on the screen of her phone and sent a message to Chen Yiming: Have you seen any information about missing cow cats recently?
The message came back quickly: No, what's wrong?
Wu Siqi: It’s okay, just asking.
Chen Yiming: I remember the cat you picked up last time was a cow cat, not a stray cat?
Wu Siqi: It doesn’t look like that, so I asked you, you guys are more informed.
Chen Yiming: I'll keep an eye out for you. Are you free recently? Lao Yu has organized a get-together.
Wu Siqi: Okay, thank you.
Wu Siqi: I'm a bit busy lately with several projects, you guys should get together.
Chen Yiming: Okay.
Not intending to reply to the message, Wu Siqi put her phone back into her pocket. Just as she was about to lift her foot, she felt like someone was watching her again. She turned around quickly, and the place illuminated by the dim street lights was empty.
It felt strange and Wu Siqi was a little uneasy. She had been feeling this way for the past two days. She ran quickly towards the community with her bag.
The lights in the community security booth were on, giving her a sense of security. She slowed down her pace and tried to calm down her breathlessness.
Only after she got into the elevator and opened the security door did she feel completely at ease.
The little black cat sheriff was also squatting at the entrance waiting for her today: "Meow." He rubbed her trouser leg.
"Be good." After scratching the cat's chin a few times, Wu Siqi took off his shoes and walked into the house barefoot, then collapsed on the sofa like a deflated ball.
The little black cat Sheriff then jumped onto the sofa and lay down beside her neck, humming. Its fur rubbed Wu Siqi a little itchy, so she smiled and pulled it down a little, letting it nestle on her belly.
She stroked its back from time to time, closed her eyes for a while, and opened them just before she fell asleep. She sat up quickly, and the little black cat Sheriff was startled by her and looked up at her.
"I forgot everything." Wu Siqi patted his head, stood up and walked to the medicine cabinet to get the disinfectant and medical scissors.
It had been two days since he had checked the kitten's wound. Wu Siqi put the things on the coffee table, held the cat in his arms and sat on the floor.
The little black cat sheriff was very well behaved. He did not struggle even when she tormented him with his wounds. The long wound had almost healed. She did not use absorbable sutures to suture it, so she had to remove the stitches one by one.
After spraying it with Yunnan Black Medicine, she checked its body from head to toe and was once again impressed by the cat's self-healing ability. Except for the wound on its front paw, the rest were healed.
She still kept holding it, scratching its chin and ears with her hands, and the little black cat Sheriff purred comfortably.
The wind outside the house rustled the curtains. Compared with the usual loneliness and silence, the tiny purring of the cat made people feel extremely at ease at this moment.
It was so dear to her that she felt reluctant to give it up for adoption. Wu Siqi wished she didn't have such a strange fate. When she was at a loss, she immediately sought advice from famous masters, and they were amazed when they saw her horoscope.
One person said this to cheat her out of money, and after several people said so, she had no choice but to believe it.
"Your fate is flawed. You're almost completely lonely and widowed. You were born to be alone. You can't even take care of a flower or a plant."
She put the cat on the blanket, struggled to pick up her phone, opened a red app, and sent a pre-edited message.
Little Bird Doctor: Finding a home for a cute little kitten, free adoption. The kitten has been dewormed and rescued after falling from a building. Half of the subsequent medical expenses will be covered after the initial recovery. Adoption requirements: 1. A stable income... 2. ...
Attached are some cute photos of the little black cat Sheriff.
I threw my phone aside and played with the little black cat Sheriff for a while. It was getting late and time to take a shower and go to bed.
When she walked into the room in her pajamas, the little black cat Sheriff was already nestled safely beside her pillow. Wu Siqi probably didn't know how gentle she was at the moment. Her eyes, warmed by the heat, were watery and bright, and her whole body was as soft as water. She looked at the kitten from afar with such eyes.
The little black cat sheriff looked up at her blankly, his pupils shrank into a diamond shape, and his eyes were also watery. He jumped to Wu Siqi with his tail raised high, rubbing his head and tail against her, trying every possible way to stick to Wu Siqi.
"Good boy." Wu Siqi picked up the kitten, buried his head in its belly, rubbed it, hummed while rubbing, and sucked the cat hard.
The little black cat sheriff did not struggle. He lay obediently on the bed and let the human do whatever he wanted. There was even a hint of enjoyment in his eyes.
Wu Siqi sniffed hard on the cat's belly, but for a moment, the scent of the kitten in her nose gave her a strange sense of familiarity. It was still the smell of popcorn, but it seemed like she had smelled it somewhere before, with a strong sense of déjà vu.
The cat's purring brought her back to her senses. After playing for a while, Wu Siqi wrapped the kitten in her arms, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
