The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Jiang Liujing felt very hot even in his sleep.

He was naturally cold, and even after turning into a cat, he was particularly afraid of the cold. But tonight, his body felt like it was in a steamer, and his whole body was burning.

A dull restlessness surged through his limbs and he couldn't help but want to turn over, but his limbs were as weak as noodles.

This feeling made him recall the day when he was picked up by Chi. Before he fell unconscious in the bushes, he seemed to have experienced the same feeling, except that he was still in a human body at that time.

Normally, Jiang Liujing would choose to endure such pain silently, but perhaps because he became psychologically fragile after turning into a cat, and because there were people around him who were willing to support and coax him, he actually thought of asking for help at this moment.

Of course, since he couldn't make any sound from his throat, the only way he could ask for help was to try hard to gasp for air.

Most people probably wouldn't notice it in their sleep, but Chi was obviously different. He noticed it quickly and took a series of measures.

The cat, who originally thought he would die alone, was extremely surprised, but found that his owner's hands were trembling slightly, and he had completely lost his usual calm and strong demeanor.

Jiang Liujing quickly understood that he was blaming himself.

It's obviously not his problem. He has taken good care of him. It's because his current body is not functioning well.

Jiang Liujing felt as if a needle had pricked his heart. He began to struggle hard, opening his eyes to prove that he was still alive.

Unexpectedly, Chi's expression became even worse after just one look, and he even made a sound as if he was about to go out.

Jiang Liujing guessed what he was going to do almost immediately.

No, you can’t go!

Jiang Liujing wanted to stop him eagerly.

Once some things are done, they will be regarded as a challenge to official authority. Even Chi's identity will inevitably be suspected and held accountable. Jiang Liujing does not want Chi to be treated like this because of himself.

But Chi couldn't hear his inner voice, so he put on his clothes and was about to leave.

Jiang Liujing was almost going crazy with anxiety, and stretched out his claws to reach towards the bed.

Maybe it was because his will to stop Chi was too strong, but just before Chi walked out the door, Jiang Liujing's heavy body suddenly felt relieved.

It was as if some invisible shackles were removed, and Jiang Liujing felt dazzled. The originally outstretched cat paw suddenly turned into a white human arm in his sight.

Before the young man could be surprised that he had successfully transformed back, his body fell to the ground with a bang due to the momentum of the forward rush.

The more anxious he was just now, the harder he fell.

He fell down with his blanket. Fortunately, Chi had just laid carpet in the house to keep a cat, so his head did not come into direct contact with the hard floor.

But he was still in so much pain that he was seeing stars, and coupled with the high fever that had not subsided after he turned into a human, Jiang Liujing saw flashes of white light in front of his eyes, and he could hardly see the ceiling above his head.

Jiang Liujing was breathing heavily, his limbs feeling sore and weak.

He was tired physically and mentally, but he still remembered that he had to stop Chi.

Jiang Liujing gritted his teeth and struggled to pull his limbs out of the quilt that was wrapped around him like a python, but the light in front of him was suddenly blocked by a large shadow.

Jiang Liujing paused, looked up and saw a dazzling red.

Bright colors that had never appeared in the cat's field of vision now appeared in his eyes as vividly as the burning sun.

What a beautiful red.

Jiang Liujing stared blankly for a few more seconds, and was suddenly approached by the red color.

An extra hand appeared at his waist and knees, and they lifted him up from the ground with his blanket in an unquestionable manner, as if holding a fragile porcelain piece, and put him back on the bed.

"……red?"

"You've changed back."

The man's voice was hoarse and low.

Jiang Liujing lowered his head upon hearing this and saw his naked body with only the quilt covering the key parts.

The fevered brain was in a trance for a while.

He, has changed back?

In front of Chi, he changed back?

Jiang Liujing's mind went blank, and Chi's reaction was not much better than his.

The man, with a face that had lost the ability to change his facial features, sat down beside Jiang Liujing without saying a word, looking at him. After a long time, he raised his hands and hugged him tightly without saying a word.

Jiang Liujing felt a slight wetness on his naked neck.

Chi, are you crying?

Jiang Liujing felt a strange feeling in his heart, full and slightly sour.

Chi seemed to value him more than he imagined, but he had never noticed or remembered such an important person.

After changing back into human form, the uncomfortable feeling dissipated a lot. Jiang Liujing moved his arms a little awkwardly, carefully put his arms around Chi's shoulders, and hugged his broad shoulders in his arms.

If hugging makes Chi happy, he will hug her as many times as he wants.

"Don't cry." He whispered to the man holding him, "Look, I'm fine."

Chi still pressed her head against him, but loosened her grip on him a little. After exchanging a glance with Jiang Liujing, she buried her head back again, as if the handsome young man in front of her would disappear if she let go.

Jiang Liujing knew that it would take time for him to calm down, so he closed his eyes quietly.

Changing back into human form seemed to have consumed a lot of his energy. As soon as he closed his eyes, Jiang Liujing felt a strong sense of sleepiness rising in his heart, but he forced himself not to fall asleep.

He was very afraid that everything he saw was just a dream.

What if he wakes up and turns back into a cat?

Even if he could accept it? What about Chi?

Having already seen his human form, can Chi continue to tolerate his existence as a cat?

He felt dizzy and exhausted, but compared to the things he was worried about, these were things he could still endure. He just had to hold on a little longer and allow this state to remain stable...

"Miaomiao." The man in front of him suddenly spoke. His breathing was still rapid and heavy, and there were many red bloodshot eyes, showing that he was not calm. "You are actually not feeling well."

"You still have a fever."

Chi could feel the subtle trembling of the young man in his arms, as well as the high temperature of his body transmitting through his skin. No matter how much Jiang Liujing endured, his body's reaction was honest.

He let go of the young man with a slightly confused look in his eyes, put him back on the pillow, smoothed out the quilt and wrapped him up, got up and went out, and came back with medicine and water not long after.

He doesn't have medicine for animals, but he does have medicine for humans.

Jiang Liujing obediently drank the medicine from the cup, then asked softly as Chi stared at him without blinking, "Miaomiao is... my name?"

This question made Chi's eyes dim for a moment.

He hummed, took the cup from Jiang Liujing, put the ice pack on him, and said, "This is your name when you were very young."

As the first generation of experimental subjects in the laboratory, he and Jiang Liujing originally had only one code name, he was 001 and Jiang Liujing was 000.

However, Jiang Liujing showed a strong aversion to being called by a code name, and would deliberately refuse to cooperate with any instructions once called like this.

After discussion, the researchers gave them the right to choose their own names.

But after Jiang Liujing took a real name, he was still unhappy to be called the same way by his colleagues and researchers, so he secretly gave himself the nickname "Miaomiao".

This is a secret known only to Jiang Liujing's original friends. After the other first-generation experimental subjects died one after another, only Chi knew it.

Jiang Liujing's expression suddenly became uneasy when he heard this, and his fingers clenched the quilt: "I... don't seem to remember. I was in a car accident, and I can't remember a lot of things before."

He lowered his head in frustration, "I'm sorry."

Chi shook his head: "It doesn't matter. It's actually better to forget it."

Jiang Liujing raised his head and looked at him.

Chi raised her hand and touched his long hair, her eyes becoming gentle, "After all, it wasn't a good memory."
