My second life is a bit strange?

"Fly my ass! All this food can't shut you up."

Shizhi, still feeling aggrieved after being slapped by Feng, rubbed his shoulder and said, "That shouldn't have happened."

... ...

Feng was lying in bed idly reading a comic book when his phone, which was under his pillow, suddenly rang.

After fumbling around for a while, I unlocked the password and saw a message from Kaguya saying that the cat was feeling unwell and kept scratching its ears until they bled. She also sent me a few photos.

"Let's take it to the vet. I'll come find you now."

Kaguya was staring blankly at her phone at home. She just wanted to tell Kaede something, but she never expected that this would lead to her going out with him.

She was left alone with just the two of them! She immediately called to cancel her scheduled veterinary appointment.

Humming an unknown tune, she sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her fair legs.

Feng looked in the mirror and noticed that her hair was a bit messy. The weather was nice today, so she decided to get a haircut.

"I'd better wear a beanie to cover myself up before that." Spring temperatures always fluctuate wildly, sometimes cold and sometimes hot.

Although the sun was shining today, it was a bit chilly, so wearing a beanie was just right. When they arrived at the agreed place, Kaguya hugged Baymax, who was moving around restlessly.

Seeing Feng arrive, it wagged its tail happily, meowed incessantly, struggled to jump down, and kept rubbing its head against his trouser leg.

"Good boy, good boy~" Feng picked up Da Bai and rubbed it for a while, finally getting his fill of it.

“Baymax really likes you,” Kaguya said, looking at him.

Even the cat knows he's a gentle person.

"Why don't you take it for a walk?" Kaguya handed the leash to Kaede, and the two walked towards the veterinary clinic, chatting about recent events, with car horns honking occasionally in their ears.

Big White didn't want to leave and squatted there yawning.

"What's wrong with it?"

"Big White is a bit shy; the car probably scared it."

After hearing this, Feng squatted down and picked up Xiaobai. His hoodie pocket was in front of his stomach, similar to Doraemon's magic pocket, with the opening facing upwards, just big enough to fit Xiaobai.

Big White only poked its head out, curiously looking around.

Kaguya felt her heart melt; the scene was just too heartwarming.

[So cute! How can Kaede be so adorable!]

Be reserved! Be reserved.

I really want to take pictures, what should I do!

"Kaguya, can you take a picture for me?"

"Of course!" Kaguya was just wondering what excuse to come up with when she took the phone from Kaede and found the perfect angle.

Street corner, sunlight, boy and cat.

Chapter Forty: Be Your Cat

Kaguya returned the phone, blushing, and asked, "Could you send me a photo?"

“Sure.” Feng sent the photo to the other person, but felt it was a bit plain, so he pulled Kaguya to his side: “Let’s take a picture together.”

"Hey?"

"Kaguya, curl your hands up and put them here, like a cat." Kaede helped her pose and adjusted the filter, so that cat ears and whiskers grew on their heads.

"Three, two, one, cheese!"

Kaguya glanced at it very quietly.

"Meow~" Da Bai also meowed. After taking the picture, Feng posted the one he took alone to his WeChat Moments, and immediately received likes from his friends.

Some people even said they wanted to adopt him, asking if he could be their cat.

The two continued on their way, with Kaguya deliberately falling behind and secretly changing the background image of Kaede and the cat's photo.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor examined the patient and immediately concluded: "It's a very common ear mite; I'll clean it off for you."

The doctor used two fingers to pinch the back of Da Bai's neck, pressed it against the table, and used an ear pick to remove the dirt from its ears.

"I'll prescribe this medicine for you. Apply it every day, and it should be better in about three weeks. I'll also prescribe some ear cleaning solution for you to clean your ears regularly."

"Thank you doctor."

"What do you feed your cats? Their fur feels so soft to the touch."

"It's just some cooked and mashed meat mixed with regular cat food."

Which meats?

Kaguya paused for a moment and said, "Premium beef, tuna, and sometimes we'll add some botan shrimp."

"..."

Both Feng and the doctor looked at Kaguya speechlessly; this cat was eating better than they were.

"What you've said makes me want to be your cat," Feng retorted.

Kaguya's face flushed instantly. She fantasized for a moment, imagining Kaede nestled in her arms, meowing softly.

【Great! 】

Feng hugged the cat and put it back in his pocket, rubbing its head with his hand: "That's great."

"Meow!"

"By the way, Kaguya, come with me to get a haircut, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"I don't have anything planned for today, that's great!" Kaguya was delighted to be able to stay a little longer. She didn't really care what they did; as long as it was Kaede, she was already very happy.

"I'll take you to a great place tonight. You've eaten so many delicacies, but there's one kind of food you've never tried before, and most people in Japan haven't either."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

"Is it okay if I go home a little later tonight?"

"Hmm." Kaguya was no longer a puppet; she had gained the confidence to speak and was naturally much freer than before.

As they were talking, Feng arrived at his usual hair salon: "Sister Wang, are you busy right now?"

The woman whom Feng called Sister Wang was the owner of the shop. Her short, jet-black hair and suit made her look very capable. She had a small bag on her waist containing scissors of various sizes.

"Xiao Feng's here, want a haircut?"

"Ah."

"I'll wash my hair first, since there aren't many people around."

Kaguya raised an eyebrow. There are so many people lined up outside... and you call that nobody?

"Wow, your hair grows pretty fast. How do you want it cut this time?" Sister Wang grabbed a handful of Feng's hair, envying its quality. It was thick and had just the right amount of firmness; it was practically perfect, and he didn't even need to bleach it after dyeing.

"It's going to get warmer in a few days, so I'm thinking of getting a short, choppy haircut so it'll be more comfortable to sleep at night."

"No problem." Sister Wang took out her scissors, twirled them, and was about to cut the other person's hair when she saw Kaguya standing there holding Big White.

She glanced at the waiting area, which was full of people, and ran to the front desk. She kicked the man who was playing on his phone and said, "Get out of the way, give the bench to the customers."

"Who's this guest, with such an impressive presence?" The man seemed a little annoyed, engrossed in his game. He looked up and saw, "Oh, it's Xiaofeng. And this is... your girlfriend?"

"Brother Long, let's eat at your place tonight, save me a table." Feng knew the other person was teasing him, so he didn't explain further and just said with a smile.

The man known as Brother Long is Sister Wang's husband.

"Sure thing, it's almost time, I'll go start a fire." Brother Long left with a smile.

Sister Wang's technique was very skillful, and she finished cutting it in no time. Kaguya's eyes never left her, and even she began to admire Sister Wang's skills. She never expected that wispy hair would suit Kaede so well.

Feng washed her hair again, but only dried it with a towel, without using a hairdryer, so she could dry it while eating at the night market.

"I'm leaving now, Sister Wang."

After saying goodbye to the other party, he left with Kaguya, saying, "It's still early, let's go for a walk around the neighborhood."

At 6:49, the sky was not completely dark yet, with a touch of ink-wash blue: "This couple is from Chongqing. They are very hospitable. I have known them for many years. Sister Wang has been cutting my hair since I was a child. When I was a child, I was particularly afraid of shaving the hair on the back of my head because it would be very itchy."

"Is that so?" Kaguya listened quietly as Kaede recounted her childhood stories, which were simple yet heartwarming.

Sometimes, when they're both funny, their laughter can carry far.

Looking at her radiant smile, Feng couldn't find a single word to describe it; all he felt was pure joy. When did his heart begin to flutter?

He couldn't help but ask himself.

You can already smell a strong aroma of spices as you walk down the street.

"It's almost time, let's go."

"Ah."

Longji Barbecue Restaurant was their destination for the day, and it was already packed with people, with tables set up on the street as well.

There was only one spot next to the streetlight that was deserted.

Brother Long, sweating profusely, was brushing oil onto the chives in front of the barbecue grill while chatting with a customer. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Feng and immediately pointed to an empty seat, indicating that they should sit down.

"Brother Long, same as always, make it slightly spicy today, and give me five pounds of that."

"okay."

"You guys eat this sweet water noodles first." Brother Long personally brought the noodles over. He only made one serving because he saw that Kaguya was so small. How could she eat barbecue if she was full from eating noodles?

Besides, wouldn't sharing a single dish between two people foster a better relationship?

However, he also gave Kaguya a small bowl.

"Try it, it's something I always eat before I come here for barbecue. I often share a bowl with Xiao Gui."

Kaguya picked up some cucumber with her chopsticks, then slurped up a mouthful of noodles. The noodles, still slightly juicy, filled her mouth with a sweet flavor, followed by a sesame aroma.

"If you eat this often, drinking some soy milk before eating can protect your stomach, and then your stomach won't burn when you eat braised skewers."

Kaguya followed suit and took a big gulp, exclaiming in one word: "Delicious!"

"Right? It's very appetizing. It can cleanse the palate after eating too much barbecue. Although Brother Long is from Chongqing, he is also very good at cooking other dishes."
