Only I, a big orange, can't cultivate immortality

"Boom—"

The heavy and muffled thunder exploded above his head, Cheng Zi was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and the hair all over his body exploded slightly.

At this time, the sky quickly darkened, and the bean-sized raindrops suddenly fell, falling on the eaves, trees, and floors, making crackling sounds that filled the world.

Cheng Zi came to his senses, hurriedly ran to the house behind the apricot tree, almost smashed open the half-hidden door, then his left and right paws tripped each other, he huddled on the ground, rolled around a few times, lying on a pair of Red thatch upper.

"Ah."

A chuckle came from above his head, his voice was pleasant.

Cheng Zi was still in a daze, so he was hugged by a pair of cold hands holding his front paws, and gently placed it on his knees, with one hand poking under its belly, and the other hand stroking smoothly from the top of his head to the tip of his tail, and finally retracted. He even stroked his hand.

"Hululu... Meow—"

Cheng Zi didn't have time to react, and collapsed into a piece of cat cake under the skillful way of stroking the cat, with a purring sound from his throat, and his ears hung down softly, touching his scalp.

He maintained his prone position, and only raised his eyelids to see the smiling face above his head.

It was a man with gray temples, who looked not young, but had very young cheeks.A few strands of broken hair covered her long eyebrows mixed with silvery white dots, her phoenix eyes were warm and noble, and her smile was light and peaceful.

The masculine demeanor is calm, leaving aside his proficient cat-handling skills like a cat slave, it gives people a sense of stability and calmness.

What's more, Cheng Zi has been in the town for two years, strolling from the head of the town to the end of the town to inspect the territory every day, but he has no impression of him at all!

Is it a new resident?

While Cheng Zi was thinking, the man gently rubbed his belly with his hands, and said with a slight smile, "You are the orange they talk about, right? Sure enough... you have a plump figure."

Low EQ: Really fat.

High EQ: plump body.

Cheng Zi meowed in dissatisfaction, and raised her fleshy paw to pat the back of his hand, but was soon rubbed so that her eyes narrowed, and she couldn't help adding another paw, wrapping her arms comfortably around his wrist.

The man smiled and looked at him with a gentle expression.

Suddenly, there was a thunderstorm outside the window, which was deafening.The silver lightning pierced through the sky as if the night had fallen ahead of schedule, and it was earth-shattering and majestic.

Cheng Zi woke up suddenly from the gentle village, raised his head and looked out, and saw a scene of heavy rain through the half-open bamboo window.

Just... how to describe his feelings?

The monkeys in Huaguoshan saw the Shuilian Cave for the first time, and that was the mood.

"It's raining heavily." The man also spoke, putting his hand on Cheng Zi's back and smoothing his soft hair, with a meaningful tone: "Even if the Dragon King is passing through, Yue Moo won't make more noise than this."

Cheng Zi got down on his stomach again, with his chin resting on the two raised front paws, and he glanced at him.

The man's expression was a little subtle. He was clearly joking, but it somehow made people feel that he was explaining a fact very seriously.

Is this a characteristic of the ancients?

Cheng Zi suddenly remembered that one evening before, a large cloud of magnificent fire appeared in the sky. Lady Liu saw it when she was fetching water for cooking by the well, and she also expressed her emotion very seriously:

"The gods are really leisurely now, and even those who are not year-round still have time to hang out."

Although the ancients more or less believed in ghosts and gods, Cheng Zi was surprised to say these words in such a serious and ordinary tone.

Big Orange lay on the man's lap, unconsciously lost in thought.

When he was thinking, the man was staring at the back of his wise head, his fingers gently scratching his chin, and he also raised his neck very cooperatively, with a snoring sound coming out of his throat.

The man raised his lips and smiled slightly, the corners of his curved eyes were densely woven with fine lines, and the love in his heart was almost overflowing.

Who doesn't like a big cat who doesn't make noise, doesn't run or jump, and is obedient and pettable?

Want to steal... no, want to go along - the man thinks so.

He probably heard his inner voice, and just as he had this idea, there was a knock on the door, stepping on the gap between lightning and thunder.

Cheng Zi came back to his senses, and was surprised to find that he almost fell asleep while thinking, and what made him so undefended was the man's more gentle and appropriate massage techniques.

But after the knock on the door, the man also stopped, the smile on his brows faded, and the gentle and kind face also revealed a bit of gloom.

He got up to open the door, still holding Cheng Zi in his arms.

As soon as the door was opened, a bolt of lightning struck from a distance, shocking and silent, the hair on Cheng Zi's body exploded, but was quickly smoothed by the man's warm palm.

He looked intently again, and outside the door stood Lady Liu in a green dress and curly hair, with a pleasant smile.

"Woo meow!"

As soon as Cheng Zi's eyes lit up, he stretched out his claws and was about to throw himself into her arms.But as soon as the body moved, the man's hand firmly held him down.

Cheng Zi: "?"

He looked up in confusion, and saw the man's jaw line suddenly tightened.

Liu Niangzi is holding a vegetable basket in one hand and an umbrella in the other. The rain curtain hangs down from her side, which becomes a strange decoration.

She nodded to Cheng Zi, signaling him to be calm, and then greeted him with a smile as if she knew the man well:

"Long time no see, Mr. Shen Jiangyue."

"Miss Liu." The man nodded reservedly, put his arms around Cheng Zi, and exchanged greetings with her, "It's raining so hard, why bother to go out to buy vegetables in the rain?"

His tone was gentle, but Cheng Zi could clearly feel that his hands were getting cold rapidly, the temperature was like ice, so cold that Cheng Zi couldn't help shivering.

He is nervous?still afraid?

Cheng Zi didn't struggle, but looked up at the man's expression suspiciously.

The strange thing is that there is no negative emotion on his face, but a faint smile, but the temperature on his hand is getting colder and colder.

what's the situation?

"I went out early just now, and it happened to catch up with the heavy rain on the way back. Fortunately, I brought an umbrella."

Liu Niangzi's voice called Cheng Zi's attention at the right time, and before she could react, he was picked up by Liu Niangzi and placed on her shoulder, her claws subconsciously caught her clothes to fix her body.

Holding Cheng Zi's stocky butt, Liu Niangzi said with a smile: "I also want to thank Mr. for taking my oranges so that they won't be drenched in water."

"..."

The man looked at his empty hands, then raised his eyes, the peaceful smile on his face faded little by little, under the slightly drooping eyelids, the eyes were indifferent but majestic.

Cheng Zi's field of vision happened to be able to see the entire process of his expression changes, and suddenly goose bumps appeared all over his body. Not long ago, the chill left by the man's fingertips on his body suddenly became clear.

"Miss Liu..."

Just when the man opened his mouth, an inexplicable intuition surged into his heart, and Cheng Zi blurted out: "Woo meow meow meow!"

"..."

The unspoken words were interrupted by the soft and angry meow, and the man's expression became blank for a moment, as if he was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, Liu Niangzi's five fingers that were clenched tightly on the handle of the umbrella also relaxed slightly, and the pale nails due to excessive force slowly returned to blood.

She smiled and patted Cheng Zi's head, pretending to be unintentional and said to the man: "The rain is getting heavier, Cheng Zi, say goodbye to Mr. Shen, let's go home and cook."

Cheng Zi raised his eyelids, and a pair of round cat eyes looked at the man, who was also looking at himself

Tilting his head and thinking for a while, he stretched out his paws and plucked the broken hair on the man's sideburns: "Woo meow meow——"

The man was stunned, his indifferent expression softened at a speed visible to the naked eye, a gentle smile hung on his face again, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes became more gentle.

"Go." He held Cheng Zi's paw pad and squeezed it, looked past him, and then at Lady Liu, "The road is slippery in rainy days, be careful and walk slowly."

Lady Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention."

After that, she tilted her head and rubbed against Cheng Zi's body, and Cheng Zi drew back his paw, leaning over to touch her forehead.

One person and one cat walked through the rain curtain with an umbrella. Although the wind and rain were heavy, not a single drop fell on Cheng Zi.

The man watched them leave, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.

……

Away from the line of sight behind him, the fur on Cheng Zi's back slowly fell down.

The rain was crackling on the umbrella surface, and there were splashes everywhere around the feet.Liu Niangzi stepped across a puddle of stagnant water, her shoes were spotless.

"Why, are you afraid of him?" Lady Liu asked.

Cheng Zi cocked his ears, carefully savoring his mood at the moment, but he really sensed a faint trace of fear.

"Meow..."

Putting her head in the crescent of Lady Liu's neck, Cheng Zi let out a cry of confusion, with the tip of her tail curled up.

Liu Niangzi patted his head with a light smile, quickened her pace, turned around the bend in front, and entered her yard.

At that time, Uncle Jiang was sitting at the door weaving bamboo baskets.

A thick pile of bamboo strips was piled up beside him, and one end of two of them was held in his hand, and he weaved them deftly. After a short while, he wove a two-foot-long strip, and then used it as a The base is extended with other bamboo strips.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu ran to the door with her umbrella in her hand, and put the wet umbrella on the ground, immediately a puddle of water formed under the umbrella.

Cheng Zi jumped off her shoulders, shook her fur, and lay down beside Uncle Jiang, with her head resting on her front paws, her tail curled up and down, and the whole cat became lazy and sloppy.

Second Uncle Jiang snorted on his forehead with his hands free, and seeing Miss Liu's expression turned pale, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Niangzi sat down with her basket on her shoulders, and said helplessly, "Chengzi met Shen Jiangyue just now."

"... Who did it see?"

"Shen Jiangyue."

Second Uncle Jiang fell silent suddenly, which attracted Cheng Zi's strange eyes.

He had never seen Uncle Jiang's expression so indescribable.

Was there something odd about that man?

The soul of eating melons was burning, Cheng Zi immediately sat up and looked at him with piercing eyes.

Second Uncle Jiang was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of the curious face of the big orange cat out of the corner of his eye, and immediately swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

After thinking for a while, he lowered his head and continued weaving bamboo baskets, and said unhurriedly: "Shen Jiangyue... is getting older. In the past two years, she has retired to the mountains and rivers to cultivate her body and cultivate her character. Maybe her temper is better than before. If it doesn't work, let's not touch."

Cheng Zi tilted his head, not knowing why.

Are you older and have a better temper than before?

Are they talking about the man he met just now with a gentle smile that could be called kind, and who is skilled at stroking cats?
