Chapter 155: Scene 20: Little Black Cat, from now on, your name will be Liu Ye...
"Xiaohui, why did you leave so early? Mommy and Daddy haven't even had a good hug with you yet!!!"
"Xiaohui, Xiaohui, Mommy made your favorite dishes for you. You, you have to take good care of yourself and don't let yourself down!"
"Meow--"
"Xiaohui, Daddy really regrets that I shouldn't have let you go home alone that day!!"
"Xiaohui, wuwuwu..."
“Meow—meow—”
The black cat opened its yellow eyes, and perhaps seeing that no one was paying attention to it, it stretched out its claws and placed them on the arm of the woman who was crying breathlessly.
"Meow--"
"Hey, how did a cat get in?" The woman's eyes were swollen and bloodshot. "Xiaohui, is that you? Are you back to look for mom and dad?"
The woman leaned over and gently rubbed the black cat's face with her hand.
The black cat rubbed her hand and purred happily.
"Xiaohui...?" The woman's tears rolled around in her eyes and then dripped straight into the black cat's eyes.
"Meow..." The black cat didn't blink.
"Xiaohui, is it really you? Are you back?" The woman's hands trembled with excitement. "Xiaohui, Xiaohui, Mommy really missed you!!!"
"..." The black cat was silent for a moment, and finally took a few steps forward, moved into the woman's arms, and lay obediently on her legs.
"Meow." The black cat turned over its belly, "Meow meow meow."
"What, Xiaohui!?" The man with a big, unshaven face leaned over. "Is it really Xiaohui!?"
"Yes, yes, it's Xiaohui!" The woman picked up the black cat and held it in her arms like a baby. She looked up and smiled at the man, "Look, it's so well-behaved. It must be Xiaohui who asked it to protect us."
The black cat nodded very humanly.
"Hey, it nodded, it nodded!!" the man shouted excitedly, "You were right, it really was Xiaohui who called it to protect us!!"
"Meow."
"I heard that cats can see things that humans can't, especially black cats. Maybe Xiaohui is here right now, watching us."
"Is this true?! If Xiaohui saw us crying like this, she would be laughing to death!!"
"Hahaha, yes. If, if Xiaohui saw this, she would definitely be unhappy."
"Xiaohui, Xiaohui, if you really want to watch us here, just take the apple off the table!"
"Yes, Xiaohui, you used to love apples the most. If you were really here, just take it away!"
“…”
“…”
"Meow."
“…”
"Oh, it seems we are overthinking it."
"……Um."
"Well, it's getting late. You should hurry to the construction site. I'll clean up here and go home."
"Okay, stay home and be at peace. Don't overthink it. Xiaohui, I'm sure Xiaohui also wants to see the positive side of our lives!"
"Yeah! Okay! Be careful!!"
"Meow--"
“Tatttatttatttatt…”
"Little Black Cat, tell me, were you really sent by Xiaohui?"
"Meow?"
"Xiaohui loves animals very much. If she were still alive, she would treat you like a treasure."
"Meow."
"What a shame, what a shame..."
The woman knelt on a round cushion, in front of her was a photo of her daughter when she was still so young and youthful, and in her arms was the black cat that her daughter had secretly fed downstairs for more than a month.
"Hey, let's go too."
"Little black cat, from now on, your name will be Liu Ye."
"Meow."
"That's the name she gave you when she was alive. You must like it very much, right?"
"Meow--"
"Even if she doesn't like it, it doesn't matter. After all, she has already given you many, many names."
A woman's voice sobbed.
"You are a cat that she likes very much, so you will definitely be happy."
“…”
“…”
"……Meow?"
"Mom promised you a long time ago."
...But my dear mother, Ms. Liu Zhaodi, whom I haven't seen for a long time, why are you unwilling to look back and see the apple that Liu Hui is eating bite by bite?
Oh, I see.
Because this is her wish.
…
…
…
Good morning.
It's another busy day.
Over the past few days, He Yuezhe has gradually adapted to the body of this black cat.
Watching Liu Zhaodi open the curtains in the living room, she slowly stretched, then continued to lie in the cardboard box and closed her eyes.
"Master! Master! It's time to get up!"
Roll over and cover your ears.
"Master! Are you going to stay in bed again?! Today is my funeral, aren't you going to attend it?!"
Turn over again.
"Master, please go and take a look, please."
“…”
"You are by my side every day anyway, so I don't have to worry about not seeing you." He Yuezhe yawned.
“But, but!!”
"Stop," He Yuezhe interrupted Liu Hui, "First of all, I really am—"
“…”
“…”
"Hey, Xiao Ye, you haven't woken up yet."
Before he could finish his words, the cat was picked up by Liu Zhaodi.
“…”
"Were you talking in your sleep just now?" Liu Zhaodi rubbed the cat's face. "Oh, if Liu Hui saw this, she would scold you for a long time."
"What about 'cats that talk in their sleep don't get any cat food'? What about 'cats that keep talking in their sleep need an injection'?"
"Meow..." He Yuezhe narrowed his eyes and responded symbolically.
“Oh my god!! Man, you should say “meow meow meow!” instead of “meow…”!
“…”
"Okay, let's go. Yes, I'm bringing Xiaoye with me. Okay, you go first."
"Human, you haven't forgotten the mission I gave you, have you?"
“…”
"Come on, Xiaoye, come in. I'll take you to see your sister."
"Help the cat find a good home." Such a simple task, man, you can't even remember it?
Walking into the cat bed, He Yuezhe ignored the black cat's cries in his mind, found a comfortable position to lie down, and began to sleep.
"Master, you are so kind! See you later!!"
"Um……"
"Hey, man, why are you ignoring me and paying attention to that woman instead?"
"...Because you're so ugly?"
"H--!!!? Man, you're absolutely insane! You don't even realize how ugly you are without hair, and yet you dare to laugh at me?!!!"
"I think cats that don't parkour at night are more handsome."
"What, what are these two things related to?!"
"Stupid and ugly."
“You, you, you, you!! Man, I’m still helping you!! Didn’t you say you wanted to find something my master left behind in this house!!?”
"Are you looking for something?"
“Y-yes!!”
"Oh, ugly cat."
"You you you you you!! Haha—so, if I don't run around at night and that's cool, then you won't call me ugly anymore?!"
"……right."
"oh."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Xiao Ye Zi, is it okay? This bike is a bit old, and the front basket is loose. I'll fix it when I get back."
"Meow."
"Human, what do you think of me now?"
"ugly."
“…”
“…”
"Ahem, listen carefully, I won't do parkour anymore!"
“…Oh, it’s still ugly.”
"people!!!!!!!!"
"If you want to continue living on the streets, I wouldn't mind jumping off my bike right now."
"No, no, no, no! Human, human, I didn't mean that. I'm just curious why you're so listless. Is there anything I can do for you?"
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Hey, human, why did you fall asleep?!!!!"
^
"Retesting the compatibility between Liu Zhaodi, Dai Weiguo's family and yours!"
"Ding Dong! Test completed. Currently, their match with you is 27.1111%!"
"?"
“Aa ...
"I was just about to ask you, where did you go?"
"Ah! I didn't hack into the system properly, and I got caught..."
The corners of his mouth twitched, and He Yuezhe asked again, "You should know that the platform can directly read my memory, right? Aren't you afraid of being caught again?"
"Afraid……"
"Then you'd better be obedient, or I'll report you."
"Who is this cat?"
"I am God."
"Yes, he is God."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Xiao Ye Zi, we're here. You stay in the bag for a while. Once we're done, we'll go home."
As the cat bag fell to the ground, the woman's footsteps gradually faded away.
He Yuezhe put his long nails into the zipper and pulled it open little by little.
"God, you'd better explain to me what this matching degree means."
After escaping from the cat's bag, He Yuezhe hid in the flower bed at the entrance of the mourning hall, observing the people coming in and out.
"That's right, this is actually a judgment of the degree of exploration and favorability of different families."
"When Black Cat's exploration and favorability towards a family reaches a certain level, an event will be triggered. There are only two possible outcomes: one, stay in the current family, or go to another family."
"As for you, your mission, you should know it. It is to help Black Cat find a home. In other words, you need to make your own judgment and decide whether to let Black Cat stay with a certain family."
"Be careful, this will lead to different endings for Black Cat, different endings for all families, and will also affect the final outcome of "Liu Hui."
"However, you can complete salvation only when you reach a certain fixed ending."
"Also, our side quest is to uncover the truth behind this world's anomaly."
"Brother Cat, you really are a god."
“…”
"ah?"
"Help me see who that man is leaning against the wall."
"...A passerby."
"Where's the girl with the backpack?"
"...I'm just a passerby."
"What about that nice smelling boy?"
"It's Ba Ergou."
"Where's that tall girl with glasses?"
"Manka. Next to her is Manshu."
"Oh. And what about that girl looking at me?"
"Ji Xiaogao. She came here with Zhang Luo and Tan Renshou."
"... Didn't Ban Wei Le come?"
"Master! I finally came back and I haven't even had a break yet. I'm exhausted..."
"Have you learned to act pitiful?"
"No, no, no! I'll help you right now, right now!"
"Um."
"Hey, he's right there—"
"Xiao Ye? Why are you here?"
A familiar boy's voice appeared from behind, his body suspended in the air.
He Yuezhe was silent for a moment, then turned around and bit the boy's hand.
"Little Ye Zi——!! Ah!!! Why don't you recognize your son?! Ye Zi Dad!! Don't run away, wait for your son!!!!!!!!!!!"
