Become a one-time character in a comic

After Yu Xiaoan coaxed the cat, he relaxed and then felt hungry.

She put the cat down, opened the backpack and placed it in front of the ragdoll cat. The ragdoll cat instantly understood what its owner meant and immediately went in: "Did you eat when you came?"

Gu Mingxing thought of the pack of instant noodles that he had opened and left on the dining table: "Not yet."

Yu Xiaoan put on his backpack and said to him, "Then I'll make an extra copy for you."

Gu Mingxing looked at her and followed her.

He sat on the lazy sofa, Yu Xiaoan stood in front of the counter cutting vegetables. Gu Mingxing didn't want to sit there like this, always feeling it was not good to do this in front of her, it wasn't like he was going to Huo Ting or Xu Yan's house.

Yu Xiaoan felt that he was about to stand up and walk over here, so she said while cutting vegetables: "Just sit there and don't move. If you're bored, play with the cat."

Gu Mingxing didn't listen to her. He walked over to her, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me help." He put the cut vegetables on a plate, put it aside, and asked her what dish she wanted to cook.

Yu Xiaoan mentioned two simple dishes, and after cutting the vegetables, he was ready to start cooking.

The kitchen was very small, and it was very crowded for two people to stand here. Gu Mingxing sat back on the lazy sofa, holding a cat toy in his hand, and shook it soullessly in front of the ragdoll cat. Because he was so soulless, the cat didn't want to pay attention to him and climbed onto the cat stand.

He held the cat toy in his hand and watched Yu Xiaoan cooking. He thought that she did not contact him immediately after she became "this person", but only came to him for help after something happened. However, he gave her his phone number in the first place so that she would become anyone and call him immediately if she was in any unfamiliar situation.

But the person who was cooking didn't have this idea.

Yu Xiaoan soon prepared the dishes. Gu Mingxing looked around and found a folding table in the corner. He propped up the table, Yu Xiaoan placed the dishes on it, and then quickly served two bowls of rice.

"Don't you know your eating habits? These two dishes are cooked according to my taste."

Gu Mingxing picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in the bowl and said, "I'm not picky, as long as it's edible."

He took a bite, and Yu Xiaoan looked at his face a little nervously, trying to tell how he did from his expression.

Gu Mingxing nodded as he ate: "It tastes good."

Yu Xiaoan's nervousness disappeared.

After the meal, Gu Mingxing took the initiative to help her clean up the dishes. Yu Xiaoan refused to let him do so, and Gu Mingxing said, "We are friends. Why should we be so formal with each other?"

Yu Xiaoan then asked him to help her clean up, and Gu Mingxing also washed the dishes.

"You can go back after you wash up."

Gu Mingxing was stunned for a moment after hearing her words, and asked, "You want me to leave so soon?"

"No," Yu Xiaoan waved his hand and shook his head: "I don't mean to chase you away, but you are still a high school student. If you don't eat at home, your family will probably worry about you. It's better to go home early."

Gu Mingxing continued what he was doing. He put the clean dishes on the shelf and said, "My family won't worry about me. They are not in the country. I live alone."

Yu Xiaoan didn't expect this answer: "When did you start living alone?"

"I lived alone after I was admitted to high school. They gave me living expenses every month, and occasionally called me via video at night during holidays."

"You're pretty amazing," Yu Xiaoan looked at him and said, "If I had been alone since high school, I would have been scared."

Gu Mingxing wrung out the rag, wiped the water off the counter, and asked, "Who are you living with after you start working?"

"I live alone. After I start working, my family doesn't really care about me. I feel lonely, but for the sake of life, loneliness doesn't seem to matter."

Gu Mingxing looked at her and wondered if she knew what her expression was when she said this? She said "Loneliness doesn't seem to matter", but she was smiling bitterly.

He suggested, “How about going to the movies?”

"Watch a movie?" Yu Xiaoan looked at the ragdoll cat at his feet and asked, "What about this cat?"

Gu Mingxing pointed to the hanging projector and said, "Why not use this to watch it?"

Yu Xiaoan really wanted to find something to kill time, so she turned on her computer and started looking for a movie. She laughed out loud after watching the movie on the video platform.

Gu Mingxing saw that she was so happy and asked her why she was laughing.

She laughed and said, "I just find these movie titles and posters funny."

He looked at the computer and asked, "What's so funny about this? Isn't this just a normal movie?"

Yu Xiaoan smiled and shook his head: "It's different. For example, this movie "Golden Branches" was not called this in my previous world. Although I roughly know what the plot is, it's really interesting to see this name and poster."

Gu Mingxing didn't know what made her laugh, but seeing her so happy, he also became happy: "What kind of movies do you like to watch?"

"Crime and comedy type, what about you?"

"Action and love."

Yu Xiaoan smiled and said, "You really refreshed my understanding of boys. Boys would frankly say that they like to watch romance movies. It seems that I have known too few boys before."

Gu Mingxing said: "It's also possible not to know so many people."

"Ok?"

"Just knowing me is enough?"

Yu Xiaoan said as he scrolled the mouse to search for movies: "Everyone is different. Knowing only you seems like I'm just looking at the world from a well."

She didn't see Gu Mingxing the whole time, but was concentrating on finding a movie. She found a romantic comedy, moved the mouse to the movie and asked him, "How about this one?"

"Okay...I think it's good."

If Yu Xiaoan looked at his expression, he would definitely see an unhappy expression.

While watching the movie, the ragdoll cat was not at all quiet. It either jumped onto Yu Xiaoan or hung on Gu Mingxing's arm, then swept Yu Xiaoan's legs with its tail. Yu Xiaoan felt itchy and kept shrinking his feet.

After Gu Mingxing noticed it, he held the cat in his arms, stroked the cat's fur, touched the cat's head and gently reprimanded it: "Don't bully her, be quiet."

The ragdoll cat meowed as if responding to him, and then the ragdoll cat really stopped disturbing her watching the movie.

Yu Xiaoan turned his head to look at Gu Mingxing. He was staring at the movie projected on the white cloth, and his hand was occasionally stroking the cat's fur. The cat was very well behaved in his arms and enjoyed his touch.

I really don’t know who the owner of this cat is.

Gu Mingxing heard Yu Xiaoan's laughter as she was amused by the plot of the movie. He turned his head to look at her. Yu Xiaoan was covering her mouth and laughing. She laughed very easily and even hit her thigh when she laughed too hard.

It's so nice of her to be like this.

After the movie ended, Yu Xiaoan wiped her tears with a tissue. She complained in a sobbing voice: "It's so annoying. Why does a romantic comedy have to end so sentimentally..."

“Maybe it’s because the core of comedy is tragedy.”

"It shouldn't be so sentimental. How can it be labeled a comedy if it's so sentimental?" She wiped her tears and sniffed. She felt a little thirsty after crying and wanted to drink orange juice.

She saw two boxes of orange juice on the table with the computer. They were in familiar packaging and it was obvious that they were brought by Gu Mingxing.

Gu Mingxing heard Yu Xiaoan's laughter again. She smiled and said, "Are you a prophet?" She stood up to get the orange juice, handed one of the boxes to her and said, "It feels like you brought it to me because you predicted that I would want to drink orange juice today."

He took a box of orange juice and said, "I can't predict it, I just brought it because I felt you would want to drink it."

Yu Xiaoan shook the orange juice in his hand and said, "Thank you."

Although Yu Xiaoan and Gu Mingxing are friends and they get along very well, Yu Xiaoan would not let him stay overnight in his own space.

After Gu Mingxing went back, Yu Xiaoan lay on the bed. The cat and the person lay on the bed together. She turned sideways and looked at the cat lying like her. She rubbed its chin and the cat made a comfortable sound. Fortunately, there was a cat, so she would not feel lonely and bored.

However, the cat that was accompanying him now did not understand what he was saying, nor did it know that he was teasing it because it felt lonely. It also did not know that he really wanted someone to listen to his absurd and speechless experience.

Not long after, her cell phone rang. She touched the phone, picked it up and looked at the number displayed. Although there was no note, she had already memorized this number. After the call was connected, Gu Mingxing's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Yu Xiaoan."

She heard him calling her name, and she responded calmly, "What's wrong?"

"I'm here, let me know."

After hearing his voice, Yu Xiaoan felt a little lively, and this liveliness was just right, making her feel comfortable: "Okay, I understand, remember to have dinner."

"You too."

The call was brief, but it was enough.

The white gauze curtains blocked some of the sunlight, but they could not block the warmth of the sunlight. The sunlight falling on the floor and the warmth in the sunlight were enough to make the person lying on the bed in the room understand how dazzling the sunlight was.

Since that day, Yu Xiaoan never looked for Gu Mingxing again, but Gu Mingxing would call her every day to ask about her well-being and have a simple chat, sometimes for a long time.

Gu Mingxing listened to her complain about her first attempt at writing a novel, listened to her say that after reading the first part of the novel she had no idea how to write the rest, and listened to her say that the editor called her to urge her about the readers' comments under the novel.

He occasionally complained with her, occasionally gave her some advice, and occasionally told her not to care about what was happening to her.

One day, Gu Mingxing called her as usual. There was a familiar voice on the other end of the phone, but the tone was not Yu Xiaoan. He said he had dialed the wrong number and hung up immediately.

He knew that Yu Xiaoan had become a different person now.

He sat on the sofa with his head against the wall, feeling a bit complicated. This complicated mood included a sense of powerlessness. This sense of powerlessness came from the fact that only Yu Xiaoan could contact him, but he could not contact Yu Xiaoan.

Feeling a little hungry, he got up and went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator. There were a few eggs and a head of lettuce with a few leaves peeled off, and the rest was just water.

The eggs and lettuce looked out of place in the refrigerator full of water, but they were indeed what he bought.

The last time he came back from Yu Xiaoan, he bought these two things at the supermarket, thinking of adding them to his noodles.

He always adds it when he cooks noodles, but today he doesn't want to add it.

After taking out a bottle of ice water, he closed the refrigerator door, took out two packs of instant noodles from the cupboard and cooked them directly.

As for Yu Xiaoan, she is very distressed now, because this time she is a mother, and the person standing in front of her and looking at her with shining and expectant eyes is the daughter of this mother.

The daughter looked at her mother and said, "Mom, you promised me that you would take me to the amusement park if I got a perfect score on the final exam. You're not going to say you're too busy to have time, are you?"

"Uh... baby, what mom said is of course valid..."

"Huh? Weird."

It is said that children are the most sensitive. When she heard the child in front of her say "strange", she was shocked and asked, "What's strange?"

"Mom, you usually call me 'Beibei', why are you suddenly calling me 'baby'?"

Yu Xiaoan didn't know how to answer her. He was very nervous and opened his mouth without knowing what to say.

"I know, because mommy loves me more, so she has to call me baby, right?"

Yu Xiaoan cried out in her heart: "Thank you, baby!" But on the surface, she could only smile and nod and say: "Yes, because baby is my baby."

Beibei smiled happily and asked, "Then mommy must have time to take me to the playground, right?"

All adults were once children before they became adults. Yu Xiaoan instantly understood that Beibei's words, which seemed to be a way to help him out, were actually meant to flatter the mother and get her to take him to the playground.

Yu Xiaoan smiled and nodded and agreed to take her to the amusement park, but not today.

After hearing his mother agree to go to the playground, Beibei was very happy and asked, "When is that?"

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!" Beibei jumped up happily and said, "As long as mom agrees to take me to the playground, even the day after tomorrow is fine!"

Yu Xiaoan smiled and patted her head, then asked, "How much did you finish your summer homework?"

This question instantly cooled down Beibei, who was originally happy. Unlike her loud voice when she was happy just now, her voice was much weaker now: "I did a little bit."

“Have you written today?”

Beibei drooped completely: "No...Mom, I know. I will do my homework now."

Sure enough, summer homework is a pain point for children during the summer vacation. This reminded Yu Xiaoan of her past self. She instantly sympathized with the child and wanted to take her to the playground immediately.

But it's not possible, because the next plot requires that Beibei and she get lost in the playground. She will not let this child really get lost with her. Even if she knows that she will find the child in the end, she must be prepared to protect Beibei just in case. After all, she is a child who cannot protect herself.
