Chapter 161: Scene 26: Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, are you still in pain? ...
These people will eventually die.
He Yuezhe knew.
If she came near them, they would die.
Is this world real or fake? At what point did it start to separate from the main world?
What exactly does the protagonist represent?
Liu Hui, why do you want to let them in this world die one by one?
Why do I feel so sad and powerless when I see them die?
...Liu Hui, do you want to teach me what "love" is through this?
I know that dedication is love, protection is love, family love is love, love is love, and friendship is also love. I know many different kinds of love, and I can feel them.
But who should I dedicate myself to, who should I protect? Who are my relatives, who is my lover?
Why should I love others? Can't I love myself? Can't I give all my love to myself?
Of course you can, but what about your friends? He Yuezhe asked himself, you clearly know that friendship is also a kind of love, why do you ignore it?
Yes, friendship, friends.
This is also a kind of love.
He Yuezhe nodded.
So this is what love is, she understood.
——Understandably twisted, yet dictatorial.

When he woke up again, He Yuezhe was no longer at the door of Ba Ergou's butcher shop, but in the hospital.
"Doctor, is the operation over? How is the animal?!" a young girl's voice asked.
"Well, not very optimistic. Although it doesn't have any serious illness, it has suffered many injuries. I don't think it will recover in a short time." A woman's voice answered.
The black cat was He Yuezhe. She opened her eyes with difficulty, and a not-too-bright white light came into her sight.
"Hey, wait, is it awake?"
Amid the girl's screams and cheers, the black cat experienced a moment of dizziness, and the world in front of him gradually became sharper and clearer.
"Oh my God, your eyes are so beautiful..." The girl's face was only a dozen centimeters away from it, her eyes sparkling, and she exclaimed.
"You woke up so quickly." A woman came over to the girl. She raised her wrist to check her watch. "It seems you have a good recovery ability."
"Once it's almost fully recovered and neutered, we should release it," the woman said immediately. "We can't afford to keep another one."
"Doctor! It's just one, and it's so well-behaved. Why can't it stay?" The girl grabbed the hand of the woman who turned to leave.
"I can't afford it."
"doctor!!"
"Okay, okay, I have things to do. Don't you like that little black cat? Go play with it."
"All right……"
"Squeak."
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, are you still in pain?" The girl opened the cage, put on gloves, and carefully extended her hand to the black cat. "After the surgery and the injection, you must recover well."
"Oh, you are such a good boy, why are you wandering around?" The girl touched the cat as she wished, and a happy expression appeared on her face.
He Yuezhe was in so much pain that she collapsed powerlessly in the cage and could only allow the girl to caress her.
"Ah," the girl suddenly sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that my aunt has so many cats here, you'd stay here and you'd be fat and plump in no time!"
Aunt, it turns out that the woman just now was Ji Xiaogao’s aunt.
Yes, the girl in front of He Yuezhe was none other than Ji Xiaogao.
"Meow……"
"Oh my god, how can you be so cute!" Ji Xiaogao squirmed a few times strangely, "When your injury is healed, I will definitely take good care of you... hehehe..."
"Please don't touch me? Ji Xiaogao, what do you mean?"
"Ahem, literally!"
"But no one would touch it anyway."
"Auntie, I'm reminding myself! If I can't help but touch it again like I did this morning, and its injuries get worse, I'll cry again!"
"Humph, clever little ghost, but occasionally touching it is nothing to ask-"
"Really!!"
"……real."
"Hey, Xiao Hei, let me do it—"
"Go wash your hands and eat first."
"Just once, just once!"
"So it seems I can only eat the barbecue by myself?"
"What, barbecue? Auntie, I'll come right now!!!"
So, smelling the barbecue aroma in his nostrils, He Yuezhe lay in the cold cage, looked at the needles on his hairy arms, and slowly closed his eyes.
…
…
The pet hospital run by Ji Xiaogao's aunt has a very good reputation and the aunt's skills are also very good.
So, after one new cat and dog after another moved into the cage next to He Yuezhe, He Yuezhe's originally boring life became noisy.
"Oh no, why are the cat's balls gone? What did those people do to the cat!? No, no, no!!!"
"Haha, it's just a minor sterilization operation, Ugly Cat, why are you reacting so strongly?"
"Oh my god, what are you talking about! First of all, cats are not ugly. Secondly, cat balls are precious. How can people take them without permission?!"
"Hehe. Many cats here don't have that kind of stuff anymore. You should get used to it."
"Yeah, it's protecting us."
"Hey, where did you come from?!"
"You'd better be quiet, or that ugly white woman will lock you up in a terrible place."
“White is not ugly.”
"That's right, white isn't ugly!"
“White is ugly.”
“White isn’t ugly.”
“White is not ugly!!!”
“White is just ugly!”
"No, white is obviously a beautiful color. My owner likes white cats very much. She has many white cats, and I am one of them."
"Well, although, although I have a low status in the family, I think it is because they have no taste, not because I am too ugly."
"Well, it seems some cats have come to terms with the fact that they're ugly."
"Oh, I haven't."
"Oh, no, even if I'm ugly, that black cat is no better than me!"
“…”
“…”
"Why are you all silent?"
"Haha, ugly cat, that black cat is covered in wounds and looks like it knows how to fight. You'd better keep your mouth shut like a can."
"Yeah, that black cat might hit you."
"Wow, auntie, are these cats chatting? They keep meowing."
"Squeak."
The cage was opened and the black cat was gently carried out by Ji Xiaogao.
After recuperating here for several days, the black cat's wounds have healed a lot, and at least it doesn't hurt when being touched.
But because Ji Xiaogao's aunt had always treated her badly, she could only rely on herself to catch herself and barely stay here for a while.
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, you've gained a lot of weight," Ji Xiaogao hugged the black cat and rubbed its face, "You're so soft."
"Oh no, that black cat actually let that colorful person hold it!"
"Haha, that's just its appearance. In fact, it is often aggressive towards us, and it bites and scratches us."
Oh, no, wait, when did she ever interact with these cats??!
"Yeah, it's scary."
He Yuezhe was being held by Ji Xiaogao when he heard a few cats suddenly turn the topic to him and start spreading rumors. Then he turned around and glared at the cats fiercely.
"Shut up!!"
"Oh no, it roared at us!"
"Ah. How scary."
"Hehe, sorry, I'll shut up."
"Xiao, Xiao Hei?" Ji Xiaogao was probably frightened by her. He stuttered and his hands trembled. "What's wrong with you?"
"Meow……"
"I've said it before, this cat has been wandering around for too long, and its personality may not be suitable for domestication. Releasing it back home is the best option for it."
"Auntie..."
The woman in a neat short-sleeved shirt adjusted her glasses and walked over. "I know it's a cat your friend once fed, so that's why you want to keep it."
"Aunt, I...!"
"But Xiao Gao," the woman said in a very gentle voice, "some things can't be kept just because you want them to."
"Besides, you're going to college soon, so it has no choice but to stay here. At its age, I'm afraid it won't be able to accompany you for much longer."
“…”
"Auntie knows that you are a very sentimental child, but I am also afraid that your sentimentality will cause you too much hurt."
“…”
"I understand, auntie," Ji Xiaogao lowered his head, "let it go when it's better."
She said this, but her arms around the black cat tightened.
As the footsteps grew farther and farther away, the girl turned around silently and walked back to the observation room holding the black cat.
"Xiao Hei," Ji Xiaogao touched the black cat's head, "I'm sorry."
"What my aunt said does make sense. We can't stay with each other for too long. Besides, you don't like me that much. You probably prefer a free life outside."
He Yuezhe nestled in her arms and when he raised his head, he saw the girl's tearful eyes.
"I'm sorry for letting you stay in such a small place for so long. You must be unhappy too..."
"I, I've also experienced this kind of life. I, I know that this is not a happy life. So, so, I will let you go..."
"Xiao, Xiao Hei, you, you have to be well, no, don't get hurt again, otherwise, your master will be very hurt..."
"Meow..." He Yuezhe rubbed her soothingly.
"Wuwuwuwuwu..." Unexpectedly, Ji Xiaogao cried even harder, "It's all my fault. I, I, how could I be so stupid..."
"I, I thought, I thought I made a very, very good decision, but in the end, I didn't expect that it would make you... wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu..."
The girl buried her head in the black cat's belly, tears streaming down her face, soaking the black cat's belly thoroughly.
"Wuwuwu, Xiao Hei, wuwuwuwu, I'm so sorry for you, wu ...
It was not until then that He Yuezhe discovered that Ji Xiaogao, who seemed so sunny on the surface, could actually be so inferior and self-loathing.
So she lay motionless and let Ji Xiaogao ravage her. He Yuezhe stretched herself out, but was horrified to see an extremely terrifying scene.
"Meow!!!" the black cat screamed in surprise.
"Ah, how, how could it be like this?! Auntie!!"
"What happened!?" Ji Xiaogao's aunt heard her scream and immediately rushed over in a hurry.
"Cat, that cat, that cat-dog is panting! And its hind legs won't move!!"
Ji Xiaogao put the black cat down and observed it carefully and nervously: "It looks like it's having a heart attack!!"
