Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Xia Jiumeng got up after taking a bath in the bathroom. When she was drying herself, she remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to take her nightgown. She felt a little troubled looking at the small bath towel in her hand.

I originally wanted to ask Li Shen to help me get it, but when I thought about how small he is, I was afraid it would be difficult.

With this towel, you should be fine if you walk slowly.

After tying it with difficulty, she felt a little embarrassed when she saw her tight chest and the private parts that would be exposed if she walked a little further, but then she thought that they were all family and there was nothing to be afraid of.

But in fact, I still feel an indescribable sense of guilt in my heart.

He took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to open the bathroom door, stuck his head out and looked, but didn't see Li Shen.

From the bathroom, she could only see the foot of the bed. Seeing that there was no sign of Li Shen anywhere else, she thought that Li Shen had gone to the bed to rest. After all, he was quite sleepy now.

Slightly relieved, she walked out quickly, but the next second her bare toes kicked a hard, hairy lump.

Xia Jiumeng: “???”

She had a bad feeling in her heart and lowered her head slightly, only to see a black cat sitting stiffly at her feet, its head slightly raised, and its fluffy and smooth fur seemed to explode as if it had been electrocuted.

The black, moist triangular nose even had two winding streams of red liquid flowing out, and the pair of long, round cat eyes turned into straight vertical pupils.

Xia Jiumeng: "!!!!"

Li Shen stood at her feet and looked up! What did he see! ! ! !

She immediately took a step back and squatted down, her whole body flushed, and she was instantly embarrassed and angry.

"Li Shen! You...how...?"

Why are you here? !

There's no sound at all?!

Oh my god, she just...just got exposed like that?!

Li Shen's mind was confused at the moment, with only the two words "good...white..." playing in a loop in his mind. He could not hear what Xia Jiumeng said at all.

He saw... a scene even more beautiful than the first snowfall bathed in the warm morning sun...

"Li Shen?"

"Li Shen!"

Xia Jiumeng paused for a moment and looked at Li Shen, who was still in a daze, with some confusion. But when she saw his increasingly severe nosebleed and shaking body, she suddenly panicked. She quickly picked him up and put on a nightgown she casually took from the closet.

"Somebody come!"

The maid waiting in the corridor not far from the bedroom seemed to hear something vaguely and poked her colleague with her wrist.

"Did you hear anything?"

"Noise?" Another maid was sleepy, but she subconsciously listened attentively when she heard her colleague's words.

"It seems so. Wait, that's the sound from the lady's room!"

The maid panicked and quickly pulled her colleague over.

"Miss! What's wrong?!"

As the two maids came over, they saw Xia Jiumeng walking out in her nightgown, holding a cat. She looked anxious and had blood on her body. They were suddenly panicked.

Xia Jiumeng: "I'm fine, call a doctor right away."

"Yes!"

The maid hurried to the treatment room in the mansion and dragged the doctor away.

The doctor was confused. “Hey! Hey! Where are you taking me?”

After a period of chaos, things finally calmed down again.

The doctor put down the cotton swab in his hand and said to Xia Jiumeng, "Miss, there is nothing serious wrong with this cat. It just has a little too much blood."

"It should be over a year old. It might be because it's entering its estrus period, and it got a little excited, causing the blood to surge and the nose to bleed."

Although the doctor was also puzzled as to how the cat could have surging blood and qi, his diagnosis was not wrong and he believed in his professional knowledge.

"Meow!"

"Hey!"

The doctor was still conducting a rigorous analysis when he was suddenly scratched by a cat. Fortunately, there was no skin breakage, just some redness and swelling.

Xia Jiumeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and held Li Shen down, looking at the doctor. "Are you okay?"

The doctor shook his head and said, "Don't worry, miss. There's nothing wrong. It's just that it might be a little irritable recently. Do you want to..."

Xia Jiumeng shook her head. "No, if you're fine, you can go back."

"By the way, prescribe some blood-tonifying medicine he can take."

"Ok."

The doctor said no more, nodded and left, and deliberately avoided Li Shen's seat when leaving.

"Meow!" he said nonsense!

"Meow meow!" I...I didn't...fq.

As soon as the doctor left, Li Shen nervously pulled Xia Jiumeng to explain.

Xia Jiumeng waved at the maid, pretending not to understand. "Li Shen, I understand. This body is a cat after all. In fact, even if you have this instinct, I can understand it."

"Meow meow meow!" No, I, I didn't, how could I...

He was a human being at heart, so how could he really be as fq as an animal? But he really couldn't explain why his blood was boiling, and he was speechless for a moment.

"Pfft."

Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but smile when she saw his embarrassed look. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"Anyway, I'm glad you're okay."

Of course Xia Jiumeng knew why he had a nosebleed. She was originally quite shy, but seeing Li Shen like this, she suddenly felt that it was nothing.

"Meow." No, it's okay.

"Okay, let's go and rest." Xia Jiumeng stood up and prepared to carry Li Shen to the bed, but she didn't expect Li Shen to jump away as soon as she stretched out her hand.

"?"

"Meow." I...I'm not sleepy yet.

"Meow." You go to sleep first.

After he finished speaking, he jumped a few times and disappeared.

But Xia Jiumeng still saw a bit of embarrassment from the cat's somewhat stiff movements.

"This guy, shouldn't I be the one who's nervous and panicking?"

Xia Jiumeng shook her head helplessly.

She was seen naked, shouldn't she be the one who suffered more? Why did Li Shen look so distracted?

However, she knew that Li Shen needed some quiet time alone, so she didn't disturb him. She gathered her clothes and went to sleep.

The next day, Xia Jiumeng got up in high spirits. Yesterday's little "accident" did not have any impact on her.

Looking at the kitten with messy fur sleeping soundly next to the pillow, Xia Jiumeng smiled and did not disturb him. She got up and left the room quietly.

"Chunqing, if Li Shen wakes up and wants to see me, go to the virtual training room."

Xia Jiumeng said to Chunqing who was waiting outside the door.

"Yes, ma'am."

Xia Jiumeng nodded and went directly to the back of the Duke's Mansion. Compared to the lively training scene yesterday, today seemed too quiet.

Not a single knight.

She knew that they had all been sent out on patrol and support missions.

Walk to the virtual training ground with ease and start the battle.

...

Half a day later, she came out of the training room and saw Li Shen waiting at the door.

"you're awake?"

"Meow." Yeah.

Because the waiting room requires entering from the training ground, Li Shen couldn't go in by himself and could only wait at the door.

"Are you hungry?" Xia Jiumeng asked as she picked up Li Shen naturally.

Li Shen shook his head.

He had just woken up and was not hungry.

"I'm hungry, eat with me."

Then he pulled him up and walked towards the restaurant.

After dinner, Xia Jiumeng took Li Shen back to the study to handle official business as usual.

The next few days passed with Xia Jiumeng's regular schedule of training during the day, handling official business in the afternoon, and resting at night.

That day, when Xia Jiumeng was finalizing the last thing, she suddenly noticed the unusual energy fluctuations in the room and Li Shen's suppressed sobs.

He put down his pen in confusion, stood up and walked towards the sofa where he usually stayed.

Li Shen was seen curled up behind the pillow on the sofa, with all his hair drooping listlessly.

When Xia Jiumeng reached out and touched his body, she found it was frighteningly hot.

"Is this a promotion?"
