After the boy finished speaking, the cat and dog ran even further away, as if they were afraid.
Hey, the orange you're eating doesn't look very good...
That night.
Su Qing tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep well.
Why is this happening?
Su Qing stared blankly at the ceiling. He was so tired and wanted to rest. His brain felt like it had been drenched in rain and short-circuited.
I'm so sleepy, but I can't fall asleep.
"Meow."
"Wang Wang."
The sudden sound severed the darkness and Su Qing's thoughts. When he came to his senses, he noticed that the cat and dog were keeping him company on either side.
Are you going to sleep with me?
Su Qing's silent smile was very gentle.
The cat and dog could not speak and stopped making a sound. They were probably worried that Su Qing would be harassed by the neighbors, so they just cuddled him affectionately, as if they were hugging the boy.
That night, the night was very dark and deep.
The boy finally got a good night's sleep.
……
The next morning, Su Qing woke up to the sound of cicadas chirping.
I slept so well, all thanks to the cat and dog.
He needs to cook something delicious for them today, or buy them cat treats or dog food as a reward.
correct.
Now that we've decided to adopt, we need to give it a proper name.
We can't keep calling out "cats and dogs" all the time, can we?
Hmm... what should I choose...?
Little Yellow and Little Red?
Oh no, he seems to be terrible at naming things.
Okay, I'll ask the AI for some nice names later. For now, let's make some food for the two little ones.
Su Qing glanced at the bed, didn't see the cat or dog, and didn't care.
The three creatures couldn't possibly be of the same species, and their sleep schedules were naturally different, so it's normal for them to wake up earlier.
What do you guys want to eat?
Su Qing actually asked him a question as if he were a person. Of course he knew that cats and dogs couldn't talk, but he just wanted to make a little noise to let them know that he was awake.
He just wanted to see them.
One second, two seconds.
No response.
Su Qing didn't care much, because the house was only so big, and the windows and doors were all locked, so it must still be there.
The boy's smile was relaxed and carefree, as if he were playing a game of hide-and-seek.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Su Qing's smile faded slightly.
five minutes later.
Su Qing had stopped smiling.
Half an hour later.
Su Qing was more panicked than ever before.
"Where are my cat and dog? Why can't I find them?"
Is it because you disliked the eel soup he made yesterday?
But he didn't force them to drink it, and he was just planning to take them to buy cat treats and dog food today.
"Don't scare me, don't scare me, please come out quickly."
"Come out, I'll take you to buy cat treats and dog food, you'll definitely love them..."
"Where are you...?"
"Be good, let's not play hide-and-seek anymore, okay?"
Su Qing searched every corner of the rented room, but couldn't find a single cat or dog hair.
"Who, who stole my cat and dog?"
"who is it!!!!"
The world was silent, except for the boy's increasingly uneasy murmurs, which echoed endlessly.
……
In the alley, a man named Qin Tian, with a face that looked like a monster, grew increasingly ashen under the watchful eyes of his underlings who were trying to suppress their laughter.
"Still laughing? Laugh your mother away!"
"Brother Tian, I didn't mean to, I wasn't actually laughing," the underling quickly explained.
Although following Brother Tian meant going hungry for nine out of ten days, we didn't even get to eat on the last day.
However, according to the code of the martial arts world, one should still call him "Big Brother."
If something goes wrong, it's not bad to let the other party be the sucker.
"Damn it, a lunatic showed up out of nowhere, otherwise I would have already gotten that girl!" Qin Tian cursed, bragging to save face as the boss in front of his underlings.
"Um...but Brother Tian, isn't that girl too young? What if she's an elementary school student? Won't we just blow her up?"
The younger brother standing next to him twitched his lips. "Trying to pick up girls, huh? He almost got killed as a monster yesterday."
Otherwise, if he had dragged the other person back yesterday, he might have ended up being used as a sex slave without even realizing it.
Just a roadside stall...
"What's there to be afraid of!" Qin Tian slapped his thigh and said domineeringly, "You're not talking like we're minors, what's there to be afraid of?"
Damn... We're all over 16 years old, is he really mentally challenged or just pretending?
Do you understand what it means that there are differences even among minors?
What's the point of mentioning minors...? Are you suggesting they commit a crime?
Those guys were absolutely monstrous.
The younger brother still wanted to act like a normal person, so he coughed lightly and prepared to yo-yo, but the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped several degrees, making him shiver involuntarily.
"Hiss~ Qin Tian, it's suddenly so cold. Is it going to rain? Did you bring an umbrella?"
"No, you didn't mean to? But it has definitely gotten colder. Wait, Raymond Lam, what did you call me, Byd?"
Qin Tian was furious. His little brother was plotting a rebellion! He immediately decided to teach him a lesson so he would know why his brother was Qin Tian.
The fist, which could be swung, hovered in mid-air, but could not go any further.
"Tian, Brother Tian, look behind you quickly..."
Lin Feng's pupils contracted violently, and he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
"Calling me Brother Tian now? Too late!" Qin Tian cursed angrily. "Let me turn around and see what's behind me before I deal with you."
Come to think of it, something does seem to be holding him. Could it be Sadako?
Sadako isn't out of the question either...
However, when he turned around, only a pair of eyes, as black as can be, were staring intently at him.
Like an unfathomable abyss...
Su Qing gripped Qin Tian's shoulder tightly. Instantly, thunder roared and rain poured down.
His pupils shifted slightly, as if he were examining the structure of the alley, or perhaps searching for something.
Then, the boy slowly opened his mouth, but his voice was hoarse as if he had lost the most precious thing in the world.
"Have you... seen my cat and dog?"
……
……
PS:
I know it's uncomfortable for everyone to watch, but I think some awkwardness is necessary.
I've exhausted my trust. If you've read this far, please give me a little more patience so I can write the ending.
Chapter 380 Cats and Dogs (4)
?
That night, late at night.
Some ride-hailing drivers work until 3 a.m., when it is still light out and everyone in the city is asleep.
By the light of the car headlights, he saw a boy wandering the streets like a vengeful ghost.
Despite his strange behavior, the car owner felt pity for him, got out of the car and went up to talk to him. He found that although the boy was handsome, he seemed to be a fool.
He asked the other person their surname and address, but they wouldn't answer, only repeating themselves mechanically.
Have you seen my cat and dog?
The boy seemed to have not drunk water for a long time, and it was as if he had repeated this sentence countless times.
The car owner initially felt sorry for the mentally challenged boy and wanted to buy him a bottle of water, but as soon as he turned around, that eerie voice kept coming, like the legendary Black and White Impermanence dragging heavy chains to take someone's life.
The night was dark, and suddenly a slight breeze arose.
The car owner was so startled that he dropped the bottle of water he had just bought and ran away.
the next day.
The rooster crows at dawn.
A little girl suddenly appeared at the spot where the driver fled. She tilted her head slightly, bent down, and picked up the bottle of drink.
It's brand new and unopened.
It just got a little dusty.
Bai Qian lowered his head silently, and after a long while, he put the bottle of water down, looked into the distance, and said softly:
"Big brother, where did you go...?"
……
The boy wandered through the streets and alleys, stopping every passerby and asking them questions.
He only asked one question: "Have you seen my cat and dog?"
No one paid any attention to him.
There were people at first, but as day turned to night, everyone discovered that the boy was actually an idiot.
No, he should be called a madman.
Since then, it seems that Rongcheng has gained another madman.
What puzzled everyone was that after the madman asked them that strange question, they would all encounter a little girl again soon afterward.
The little girl had exquisite features, as if she were not made of this world. When she looked up at them with her bright, watery eyes, they felt their hearts melt.
Have you seen your older brother?
