pick up cats

Chapter 4

Song Limian tore out a piece of paper, and after completing the agreement with a pen and inkpad, asked Tong Ming if he needed to move his luggage.

Tong Ming said that he didn't have many things, so he just asked a friend to send them when he had time.

Song Limian led Tong Ming to the supermarket downstairs to buy daily necessities. Tong Ming probably didn't do housework often, and when he went home, he stuffed things in a mess.

After roughly tidying up, the sky was still so dark that it wasn't very groggy.

So Song Limian strikes while the iron is hot, and prepares to take Tong Ming to a cat cafe not far away to apply for a job.

"Wait." Before going out, Song Limian stretched his arm to remove the steel clip for him.

Tong Ming's bangs froze stiffly, Song Limian stopped the other's hands from moving, and went to the bathroom to get hairspray to help him carefully style his hair.

Tong Ming pursed her thin lips tightly, and closed her eyes to let her play with her. Song Limian inevitably got very close, and the other party's feathered eyelashes were all in his peripheral vision.

After he said "Okay", he stepped back to wash his hands, and Tong Ming leaned in front of the mirror and looked at himself left and right, seeming quite satisfied.

The boss is a kind-hearted fat man, his facial muscles are quite active when he smiles, he is extremely warm to Song Limian, and he says "Brother Song" in one mouthful.

Song Limian waved his hand behind Tong Ming, signaling the boss not to be too cautious with his eyes.

After Tong Ming greeted her softly, she turned her head to look at Song Limian.

Song Limian understood his character and explained his intentions for him. Tong Ming was probably a little shy, so he was restrained and polite when answering questions.

Fat Brother asked a few words, his expression seemed a bit embarrassed.

The people recruited in the store don't need much social skills, but at least they have to be easy to get along with. Tong Ming has a good appearance, but if he puts on a cold face all day long, customers probably won't like it.

Song Limian understood Fat Brother's worries, tapped his index finger on the table, and turned his head to say something to Tong Ming——

As a result, it happened that Tong Ming's body was shortened, reaching out to caress a black cat at his feet.

"Don't!" Song Limian and Fat Brother exclaimed in unison.

Song Limian's figure was faster than his words, but it was a pity that he was still a step behind. Tong Ming's right hand had already landed on the cat's back unknowingly, and it was so white and fragile against the black fur.

Song Limian's heart skipped a beat immediately.

They all thought that this hand would soon be scratched and bleed, but when Song Limian covered Tong Ming Weiliang's wrist with his palm and pulled away forcefully, the black cat who had changed his temper did not show his surly side.

The black cat didn't poke out its paws to hurt people, and even let out a "meow" softly, which was ridiculously well-behaved.

On the contrary, Song Limian didn't have time to pull back because of nervousness, and when he let go of Tong Ming's wrist, he saw that Tong Ming was stuck with a circle of red marks.

Tong Ming rubbed his wrists, and there was no condemnation in his gaze. Song Limian was relieved and at the same time apologetic.

The black cat was picked up by Song Limian two days ago.

Even without a CFA pedigree certificate as evidence, Song Limian speculated that this black cat had the blood of a breed cat just by observing the cat's coat color and appearance.

On the day when the black cat was picked up, the rain did not fall. Song Limian soaked his coat and walked quickly with the sick cat in the blanket.

The black cat roared in a low voice, and Song Limian's face was covered with water, covered with cold air, but what echoed in his mind was the cry of another cat, and the hallucinations made him upset.

After sending the cat to the pet shop for treatment, deworming, and finally taking a bath, Song Limian's clothes were already uncomfortably dry.

When it was too late, the black cat that had regained its blood volume gradually showed a troublesome personality. Even the experienced pet shop doctor was scratched with red marks.

Song Limian had been vaccinated against rabies within half a year, so he had a lot of injuries on his body, but he didn't mind too much. In the end, he regretfully gave the doctor a red envelope, and sent the black cat to the cat cafe the next day.

The store hasn't officially opened yet, and Song Limian plans to foster the black cat for two days. After the black cat is familiar with the environment, he will observe its personality.

If it doesn't work, you can only make another plan.

Fat Brother has known Song Limian for not too long. After listening to Song Limian's request, he asked doubtfully, "Brother Song, why don't you raise it yourself? The care of an acquaintance is always better than being at ease."

"I'm not going to raise a cat for the time being." Song Limian avoided his eyes, and held the cat's hand for three seconds in a deadlock, almost being scratched a few times by the flirtatious black cat.

What he said next, he muttered very softly, the fat brother probably didn't hear clearly: "...especially the pure black ones."

Song Limian stared at Tong Ming who was squatting on the ground stroking the cat, and pulled out the suppressed negative emotions.

He specially brought Tong Ming to the cat cafe, firstly to ask the owner's opinion in order not to make a good opinion.

The second is that he is not sure whether Tong Ming likes the environment here. After all, raising small animals is a way of healing for some people, while others regard it as a burden.

Looking at it now, Tong Ming should be the former.

Tong Ming has a good image and temperament, and is of a suitable height. After changing into a set of clothes that fit the atmosphere of the cat cafe, he looks so tall and tall.

Seeing that Tong Ming easily tamed the black cat that had tortured Fat Brother for two days, Fat Brother immediately changed his impression of him, and his attitude became warmer.

After a brief training on the etiquette of the food delivery staff, Tong Ming demonstrated it well.

His shirt was buttoned to the top, and a sense of abstinence gushed out. His narrow waist was wrapped in a black vest, his legs were straight, and his walking posture was tall and light.

Song Limian observed that Tong Ming walked almost silently, and the black leather shoes rubbed against the ground to make an extremely weak sound, which was quite in line with the quiet atmosphere of the coffee shop.

In the end, Fat Brother nodded approvingly, Song Limian also expressed a relaxed expression, Tong Ming hooked the corners of his lips, unbuttoned the buttons with two slender fingers, and went inside to change back into casual clothes.

There is a Sphinx hairless cat in the store, usually withdrawn, likes to hide in the corner and play alone, often even if the fat man calls for a long time, it will not get out of its head.

At this time, the cat took the initiative to move up to Tong Ming, turned its stomach towards him, and looked like it couldn't wait to be stroked.

Fat Brother was filled with emotion, even a little jealous.

Tong Ming put one arm on his knees, and stroked the cat's belly with the other hand.

Song Limian saw sweat dripping from his forehead, worried that the gauze would get wet, so he pulled a piece of paper and pressed it to remind him to pay attention to the wound.

Tong Ming raised his head and said thank you, the tenderness in his eyes had not dissipated, Song Limian couldn't help but stare for a while.

After a while, Song Limian avoided his sight, squatted down and turned to the side: "Xiao Hei?"

The obedient black cat who was squatting aside did not respond to him, and continued to lick its fur lazily. Song Limian touched his nose.

Tong Ming leaned over, scratched the black cat's chin and suggested, "It doesn't seem to like this name, let's change it."

He seemed to have heard the black cat's dissatisfaction, conveying the black cat's heart, and spoke very seriously.

"Then give it a name." Song Limian said with a smile.

"How is Xiaobai?" Tong Ming said softly.

Seeing that the other party's expression didn't seem to be funny, Song Limian swallowed back the joke, and hesitated to call out those two words.

Not long after, the black cat let out a low growl, obviously dissatisfied.

Song Limian spread his hands, but Tong Ming didn't feel depressed, but put on the black cat's back and said slowly: "Xiaobai."

The black cat seemed to be under a spell, and instantly released a soft "meowing" sound.

"...It seems that it just likes to be touched by you." Song Limian squatted next to Tong Ming and forcefully explained.

"How come?" Tong Ming smiled lightly and withdrew his hands, encouraging Song Limian to call again.

Song Limian couldn't resist his earnest gaze, so he called out again without hope.

The black cat squatted in place, kicked its ears with its hind legs, and continued to "meow" limply.

Song Limian was convinced.

When discussing wages and salaries with Tong Ming, Song Limian prepared a whole bunch of excuses that didn't come in handy.

Tong Ming didn't seem to understand the industry's income situation, and he didn't express any doubts about the extraordinary remuneration, and expressed his sincere thanks as usual.

After saying goodbye to Tong Ming, Song Limian dragged Fat Brother aside and asked him to give Tong Ming an extra salary of 4000 yuan per month.

"I'll transfer half a year's money to you, don't talk about it." Song Limian called out the software and said.

"Brother Song is still so kind." Fat Brother subconsciously praised, and after two seconds, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is Xiao Tong really trustworthy? You just know him, right?"

"I'm not sure, what if I run away after getting my salary tomorrow?" Song Limian joked seriously, "Let him do more work, so that I won't suffer too much."

The fat brother heard that he didn't mind, and he clicked to collect the money and sighed.

"Don't worry," Song Limian slid his phone back into his pocket, and put his shoulders on his shoulders to comfort him, "Isn't this going to be sent to you, can you check it?"

"I don't know people as well as you do." Fat Brother retorted seriously.

"There are also cats." Song Limian looked at the surly black cat in the corner, and said, "Animals judge people more accurately than humans."

At the same time, Tong Ming lay on his back on the soft mattress and was stunned for a long time.

Perhaps because he couldn't see Tong Ming's unfit clothes, Song Limian bought the shirt for him when he went out to bring dinner, and he quoted a very cheap price when he came back.

He stuffed the paper bag into Tong Ming's hand and told him to pay it back when he got his salary.

After returning home, Tong Ming slowly took off his shirt which was one size bigger, stood naked in front of the mirror, put on his shirt and turned around a few times.

At this time, he unbuttoned his lower body and wore a pair of shorts loosely. The tight muscles of his abdomen were exposed to the air, and they were unrealistically white under the light.

Tong Ming put his right hand under his head, guessing that Song Limian should like him like this, but it's a pity that Song Limian is too upright and will definitely avoid his eyes, so he can only behave well in front of the other party.

When the breath about Song Limian dissipated, Tong Ming stood up slowly, the hem of his shirt was inevitably crumpled, Tong Ming frowned, and carefully took off his clothes.

The night had completely ended, Tong Ming walked out of the bedroom topless, looked around for a week, and pushed open the corner storage room.

He passed through the flying fine dust, and when he squatted down, the butterfly bone on his back was about to burst.

The thin muscles covered him outline a soft arc, the waistline sinks all the way into the hipbone wrapped by the side of the underwear, the pants are slightly loose, but they can't hide the outline of his round buttocks.

Tong Ming opened the drawer and rummaged through it patiently. After about 10 minutes, he pulled out the old photo album with rotten corners from the gap in the drawer.

Without even thinking about it, he turned to the last page and pulled out a small photo.

A young man is white and clean against the red background. In the photo, the person has a round outline, moderate eyebrows, clear eyes, and a slight smile on the corner of his lips.

Tong Ming sneered, picked up the photo album with one hand, threw it back into the drawer and closed it.

He straightened up and held up the photo, the light shone through the back, the boy's brows and eyes became blurred, and Tong Ming narrowed his eyes, silently confronting the person in the photo.

After a while, he raised his thin lips, his face full of playfulness.

"I will accompany him in the future." He flipped through the photos and said, "Now I have nothing to compare to you."

Putting the photo in his pocket, Tong Ming followed his memory, slowly restored the storage room to its original state, and then closed the door.

He searched around in the living room, but only found a pack of cigarettes worth 1 yuan, and he didn't even see a plastic lighter.

Tong Ming sighed and walked towards the gas stove.

He deftly ignited the flame, turned it down a circle, swung his thin arm back and forth, and the inch photo fell into the flame.

In an instant, the boy's face was engulfed by the flames and gradually melted away. Seeing this, Tong Ming whistled in a good mood.

He pestered patiently for a while before turning off the gas stove. He propped his arms on the countertop to wait for the temperature to cool down, and then cleaned up the ashes skillfully.

After finishing these things, he fell back to the sofa and took out his mobile phone. He found the word Song Limian from his recent contacts, and happily called back.
