Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Cat! There is a cat!
Out of courtesy, Jiang Shizao waited with Wen Qianchuan until the ambulance arrived.
"Good morning, go back early and be careful." Wen Qianchuan gave another reminder before getting in the car.
"Okay, brother, if you have anything, remember to call me or text me!"
Jiang Shizao said this, standing by the road and waving his hand. When his eyes turned slightly to the left, his gaze met that of the long-haired man in the ambulance.
The front section of the medical bed with adjustable tilt was supporting Wen Jiming's back at an angle of nearly 40 degrees, making him look like he was leaning against the bed.
When their eyes met, Jiang Shizao subconsciously said goodbye: "Goodbye, uncle."
"It's early. Goodbye." Wen Jiming looked calm, but his face was undoubtedly paler under the white light of the ambulance.
After the ambulance door closed, Jiang Shizao watched the red light gradually disappear into the night, then turned around and strode towards the bus stop not far away.
...In the end, I missed the bus that I usually take during that time period.
Fortunately, the next bus arrived home about fifteen minutes later than usual.
When Jiang Shizao got on the bus, Wen Qianchuan was standing in the ambulance with his arms folded, looking down at the person who was half leaning on the medical bed.
"How long are you going to keep pretending?" Wen Qianchuan said coldly.
Wen Jiming, lying on the medical bed, lowered his eyes and chuckled softly. The next second, the pair of legs that had seemed completely immobile in Jiang Shizao's eyes now landed on the ground with ease.
The hem of Wen Jiming's grayish-white windbreaker swayed slightly with his movements.
When this man stood up, his height was almost the same as Wen Qianchuan who was sitting opposite him.
The two finally looked at each other at eye level.
Wen Qianchuan sneered: "Do you like to pretend to be sick?" To deceive Zao Zao's concern?
Wen Jiming then slowly picked up the milk tea beside him, inserted a straw, and took a big sip, his Adam's apple rolling slightly as he swallowed.
Even so, the man's demeanor still looked very elegant.
After dozens of seconds, Wen Jiming said, "It tastes good." He even pursed his lips to savor the taste.
"..." The blue vein on Wen Qianchuan's forehead jumped again.
Wen Jiming's eyes fell on the cup of milk tea in his hand, "I bought milk tea for the newcomer early last night."
Hearing these seemingly incoherent words, Wen Qianchuan also laughed: "So you want to drink too?"
Jiang Shizao did treat Wen Xu to a cup of milk tea last night.
Wen Jiming raised his eyes at this time, and the atmosphere in the ambulance instantly became more tense. The two men's eyes clashed in the not-so-spacious space, and neither of them gave in in momentum.
Finally, Wen Jiming looked away first, his fingertips gently stroking the milk tea cup.
"Didn't I disdain to leave your North Shore before?" Wen Qianchuan taunted, as if thinking of a funny joke. The next second, the man spat out two words, "Uncle?"
In fact, Wen Jiming had been in Lingcheng much later than Wen Qianchuan, but the other party did look older.
Wen Qianchuan knew very well where this fragment of Wen Jiming's soul was born.
001 once spent nearly thirty-five years in a copy world.
This piece of Wen Jiming's soul was the fragment that was split when he cleared the copy 001.
"Before, you were guarding a fictitious empty shell. Now that Zao Zao has really come to Lingcheng, of course I have to come and see him." Wen Jiming spoke in a gentle tone, and there was a sense of deep affection when he spoke of the person he mentioned.
Wen Qianchuan pointed out, "The cup in your hand was originally for Zao Zao. Zao Zao bought two cups, and the other one was for the guy at the convenience store. So, this is the welcome gift you prepared for Zao Zao. Did you steal Zao Zao's milk tea?"
"..." Wen Jiming, who was suddenly bombarded with a series of attacks, fell silent for two seconds.
But after a moment of silence, the man picked up the milk tea and took two sips.
"Since everyone has had a taste of it, I want to try it even more." Wen Jiming lowered his eyes and spoke slowly. In his heart, he had already thought of a reason to run into Jiang Shizao next time.
But before Wen Qianchuan could sneer at him again, Wen Jiming still spoke up and said something serious: "001 has been here."
The topic suddenly changed, and the atmosphere between the two of them also changed a little.
Wen Qianchuan frowned imperceptibly, wondering if they had already discussed this matter when he heard Wen Jiming say, "While you were standing in front of Zao Zao, unleashing your charm in every possible way, 001 had already entered a dungeon space connected to the border of Lingcheng."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qianchuan subconsciously wanted to retort, but Wen Jiming's next words made him stop talking.
"When did it happen?" Wen Qianchuan asked.
"When you and Zao Zao were reading in the bookstore." Wen Jiming said. After that, he took another sip of milk tea.
Wen Qianchuan frowned. It was indeed his negligence. But he hadn't done anything to Zao Zao in the bookstore. But Wen Qianchuan realized after a moment's thought that the other party was really jealous.
But Wen Jiming remained calm, lowering his eyes as he continued to drink his milk tea—it tasted very sweet, especially after it had been touched by Zao Zao.
Dozens of seconds later, when Wen Qianchuan spoke again, he seemed to have fully understood the situation: "001 wants to come in through the gap on the east coast of Lingcheng?"
But the next second, Wen Qianchuan frowned again: "Why is the fragment on the east coast not in its territory now?"
At this moment, there was no one guarding the east coast border. It was known that 001 was likely to enter Lingcheng through the space crack on that side.
"You mentioned it." Wen Jiming raised his eyes, "I fought with 001 in the dungeon before. I might have suffered a minor injury."
However, before Wen Jiming could finish his words, Wen Qianchuan's expression on the opposite side had become even darker.
Wen Jiming looked at Wen Qianchuan: "It seems that you already know its movements?"
Wen Qianchuan chuckled.
Yes, he already knew where the soul fragment on the east coast that had suffered "a little" damage was.
…
On bus No. 444.
Jiang Shizao, who had cheered up, had just walked two stops when he was the only passenger left on the bus.
“…”To be honest, I’m still a little scared.
The engine sound of the No. 444 bus was particularly dull in the night, and Jiang Shizao was still sitting at the back of the bus near the exit door.
However, not long after the car door closed, the already vigilant teenager quickly discovered something was wrong.
Besides him and the bus driver, there is one more thing on this bus!!
To be honest, when the cat's meow sounded in this space for the first time, Jiang Shizao felt all the hairs on his body tremble.
If this happened in the original world, Jiang Shizao would definitely not have reacted like this.
But this is Bell City.
After hearing the cat's meow, Jiang Shizao began to search with restrained and cautious eyes, trying to confirm the target's location.
Cat! There is a cat! Where did the cat come from?
This point appeared on the bus!
Is it a real kitten, or...
Then, just as Jiang Shizao was in an extremely nervous state, a blue-eyed black cat that looked very noble appeared in the aisle beside him.
When the eyes of the man and the cat met, the black cat let out another long "meow~~~~~"
The sound was as harmless as it could be—it was designed to melt people's hearts.
Jiang Shizao was stunned when he saw the black cat's appearance clearly.
It’s really beautiful…
Not to mention the black cat's soft cry...
This definitely can't be a dangerous creature.
In just a minute, Jiang Shizao's state of mind had undergone a drastic change that he himself had not even realized.
"Meow~~~~"
The black cat opened its blue eyes and looked a little aggrieved at this moment.
It stretched out its left front paw towards Jiang Shizao.
Jiang Shizao, who was completely absorbed by the black cat at the moment, naturally noticed the wound on its front paw at a glance.
"You...you are hurt?"
"Meow~"
The black cat looked even more pitiful. It tilted its head and knew how to use its advantages.
Jiang Shizao's heart was about to melt.
By the time he realized what was happening, he had already lifted the black cat that had jumped onto the seat next to him onto his lap. When the black cat stretched out its claws again, Jiang Shizao gently grasped the uninjured part of the cat's paw with one hand, then lowered his head and carefully blew on the wound.
"Meow~" The black cat narrowed its eyes.
He then nudged his head into Jiang Shizao's arms.
The other claw scratched Jiang Shizao's body again and again.
Jiang Shizao felt the cat stepping on him, which made him feel a little itchy, and a smile appeared in his eyes. Seeing the cat so lively, Jiang Shizao felt relieved.
But it is so cute, it doesn't look like an unattended stray cat.
"How did you get on the bus as a cat?"
Jiang Shi first scratched the black cat's chin, and then couldn't help but touch its fur.
"Where is your master?"
The black cat tilted its head again, as if it didn't understand, but after pretending, it began to rub Jiang Shizao's hand with its head.
Jiang Shizao was so rubbed by it that even his fear of Lingcheng at night dissipated a little.
I'll go to Wen Zhi's convenience store to buy some cat food soon. If it keeps following me.
"Brother Wen Zhi's store should have cat food." Jiang Shizao said while holding the cat's paw.
But the black cat's movements were noticeably stiff at this moment.
"Meow?"
When it heard "Wen Zhi's shop", for a moment, its blue pupils shrank into a thin line.
Jiang Shizao had just sent a message to Wen Zhi, saying that he would arrive at the store about a quarter of an hour late tonight.
