Month: March 2022 (Page 2 of 4)

       They stayed in Qijiang for three days, after which Li Zhenran fulfilled his promise and went back to the provincial hotel where he set up a few tables to entertain a few experts.

       Li Zhenruo sat in the corner and watched Li Zhenran socialize.

       To be honest, Li Zhenran was not very good at socializing.

       Li Zhenruo used to think that he was a little introverted, at least not the kind of person who was smooth and slick. However, Li Zhenran was a capable person, so even if he ignored people with a cold face, there would naturally be people leaning on him and continuing to take advantage of his capability.

       Although from the survey at the Qijiang construction site a formal report has not yet been formed, the preliminary results were quite good.

       For this reason, Li Zhenran was actually in a good mood, but he didn’t show it on his face.

       In the evening, Li Zhenran drank a little too much wine.

       He didn’t look good when he drank. The more he drank, the whiter his face became. When they went back to the hotel room after dinner, his footsteps were still very steady, but when they returned to the room and sat down on the sofa, Hua Yibang said to Li Zhenruo, “He drank too much, watch him for a bit.”

       Li Zhenruo went around to look at Li Zhenran’s face, and said strangely, “It doesn’t look like it.”

       In Li’s house, Li Zhenran would go back to the room silently after drinking too much. Unlike Li Zhenzi, who would make a scene when he was drunk until the whole family know. So until now, Li Zhenruo didn’t know what Li Zhenran’s state was when he drank too much.

       After Hua Yibang warned him repeatedly, he left first.

       Li Zhenran and Li Zhenruo were left in the room, Li Zhenruo reached out and touched Li Zhenran’s shoulder, “Are you going to take a shower?”

       Li Zhenran didn’t say anything. After a while, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

       Li Zhenruo heard him enter for five or six minutes, but there was no movement. So he couldn’t help knocking on the door, “Ran ge?”

       No one responded.

       Li Zhenruo softly called out to Li Zhenran. He opened the door of the bathroom and probed in, and saw that Li Zhenran didn’t take off his clothes and sat motionless in the bathtub.

       Li Zhenruo felt a little exasperated. He walked in and asked Li Zhenran, “Would you like to take a bath?”

       Unexpectedly, Li Zhenran looked up at him and asked, “Who are you?”

       Li Zhenruo squatted down in front of him, took a deep breath, and said, “I’m your cat.”

       “My… cat?” Li Zhenran’s eyes were calm, and Li Zhenruo had no way of knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he asked Li Zhenruo, “How can you be a cat?”

       Li Zhenruo propped his face with his hands, “I’m a cat that can transform, have you seen Black Cat Detective¹https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cat_Detective?”

       Li Zhenran nodded.

       Li Zhenruo said, “I am also the same. I can change into a human.”

       Li Zhenran simply couldn’t think about the connection between the black cat detective and him being able to become a human right now. He suddenly reached out and touched Li Zhenruo’s face.

       Li Zhenruo strangely asked, “What?”

       The next thing he felt was Li Zhenran’s hand cupping his face and pulling him over, kissing him hard on the lips.

       Li Zhenruo’s eyes widened. He still didn’t understand what had happened, to the extent that he forgot to resist. He didn’t understand how the fact that he was a cat ignited Li Zhenran and made him suddenly do such a strange thing.

       After a while, Li Zhenran released him and gently stroked his lips with his fingers.

       Li Zhenruo maintained his wide-eyed posture. He found that his face was hot and his head was in total confusion.

       Li Zhenran put his forehead on his forehead and said in a low voice, “Do you like it?”

       Li Zhenruo felt that his head exploded, What did he mean by like? Why should I like it? First of all, regardless of whether he was Li Zhenruo or Li Zhenran’s brother in name, at least Li Zhenran has to remember that he was a man, right? It doesn’t matter if he was a man, but Li Zhenran suddenly kissed him after hearing that he was his cat. To start with, how much did Li Zhenran like his cat?!

       But although he couldn’t say he like it, Li Zhenruo knew that he didn’t hate it.

       His feelings for Li Zhenran were a bit special. After having such a dream next to the construction site that day, Li Zhenruo found that he had been with Li Zhenran for less than half a year, but his relationship was much deeper than the past 20 years.

       All this time, Li Zhenruo jokingly said to Li Zhenran that he was his master. And such a person fed you every day, tickled you, bathed you, and looked the whole world for you when you were wandering outside. Li Zhenruo feels that if he was really a cat, as a cat, he would at least be moved. What’s more, he was not a cat.

       Since he was a child, he had no mother, and his father and brothers did not love him. With Li Zhenran suddenly treating him so well, of course, it was impossible not to feel touched.

       Although Li Zhenruo sometimes has a twisted idea that Li Zhenran was actually good to cats in general, not to Li Zhenruo, his heart still became soft day by day.

       At this moment, Li Zhenruo, who was in a soft mood, was startled when he saw that Li Zhenran came over to kiss him again, and hurriedly tilted his head back, but he did not expect Li Zhenran to reach out and hold the back of his neck to prevent him from hiding and kissed him again on his lips.

       And this time it wasn’t a simple lip touching lips, but Li Zhenran was prying open his jaw with his tongue.

       fvck, fvck, fvck! Li Zhenruo’s heart churned. There were no other words better to express his inner feelings than these words.

       He was tongue-kissing Li Zhenran!

       He has lived for more than 20 years. Although he had messed around before, now he kissed a man with a tongue, and the other party was Li Zhenran. Li Zhenruo felt like he was struck by thunder.

       Moreover, Li Zhenran usually seemed to live a simple and disciplined life. Li Zhenruo also knew that Li Zhenran’s private life was very clean. How could he kiss so well? Li Zhenruo was a little dazed for a moment. In addition to being held down by Li Zhenran by his neck and unable to avoid it, he also felt that his brain could not respond due to the lack of oxygen.

       A few days ago, he went into heat when he was touched, and if he didn’t respond to being kissed today, he would suspect that he was really castrated.

       Li Zhenran grabbed one of Li Zhenruo’s arms and forcefully pulled him into the bathtub.

       Li Zhenruo’s head almost hit the edge of the bathtub. Then he was turned over and pressed under Li Zhenran’s body.

       Fortunately, the hotel’s bathtub was big enough for two people to lie inside and it was spacious.

       Li Zhenran continued to kiss Li Zhenruo, bit his lip and sucked it gently. Li Zhenran even made an obscene gesture with the purpose of conquering him and pressed his crotch on him.

       Li Zhenruo’s face was flushed, and he was short of breath. He hesitated between pushing Li Zhenran away or simply fighting back to let him see his own kissing skills.

       At this time, Li Zhenran’s kiss had already landed on his neck, and he ripped open his shirt with his teeth.

       Li Zhenruo suddenly felt that if he didn’t stop the other party, something would definitely happen, but at this time, where did he get the strength to stop it? He had spent almost all his strength, in order not to yield to him, not to hug Li Zhenran back and rub against him.

       He was a cat! And he was a cat in a rut. He didn’t urinate anywhere, and he didn’t run after seeing the female cat. He was already subdued enough. Now that he was hugged, kissed and rubbed like this, how could he bear it? What’s more, this person was his dear master, who accompanied him to eat and sleep with him every day.

       Li Zhenruo thought about other things in his head. If he didn’t think about it, he would be completely be drowned in this abyss of desire.

       However, Li Zhenruo’s body has tightened so much that he had to open his mouth to breathe. He felt like he was taking drugs, with uncontrollable excitement and happiness. The breath and gasping voice of the person pressing him seemed to be drugging his body. He didn’t even understand what was wrong with him. It was even more difficult to hold back than the first time he had done it with a woman in his teens.

       Later, when Li Zhenran reached under him with one hand, and just touched the place that was stirred up, a white light flashed in front of him, and he couldn’t believe it came out like this!

       Li Zhenruo was completely shocked. Today, he was like a teenager who had eaten the forbidden fruit for the first time. When he was teased by Li Zhenran, he was defeated and surrendered.

       The white light flashed was not vulgar fiction writing, but a real flash of white light. Have you seen an animated movie? No matter what, the transformation would always have a “bang” sound, and then a burst of dazzling light, and the beautiful girl would become a Sailor Moon or pig or something else……

       And so, Li Zhenran was knocked back by the white light that rose to the top, and changed the person into a Garfield pressed into the bathtub. All of Li Zhenruo’s clothes fell off his body and were scattered in the bathtub, leaving only the collar around his neck.

       The cat was so small that Li Zhenran pressed an empty space underneath him and stuck to the bathtub, only to look face to face with a pair of frightened eyes.

       The reason why Li Zhenruo was frightened was that he realized that he had turned back into a cat, and at the same time, he saw the strong desire in Li Zhenran’s drunk eyes. He thought that if Li Zhenran continued to do anything to a cat today, he was really shameless and should be sent to chemical castration.

       Li Zhenran seemed to be stunned for a few seconds, and then let go of his grip on Li Zhenruo’s hand.

       Li Zhenruo slid into the bathtub from the smooth edge of the bathtub. He saw Li Zhenran stand up, pulled on his clothes with one hand, and turn on the showerhead with the other.

       The cold water came out from the nozzle at once, and Li Zhenruo felt the cold water wash over him and immediately tumbled out of the bathtub. He stood outside the bathtub, and his breathing was still uneven. And when he turned around, he saw that Li Zhenran was already taking off his pants. So he didn’t dare to look any longer. Li Zhenruo swiftly rushed out of the bathroom, leaning his back against the wall and gasping for breath.

       Li Zhenruo thought to himself: This is really an absurd story.

       The sound of water in the bathroom continued, Li Zhenran didn’t speak from beginning to end, and just took a bath in silence. He then silently turned off the water to dry his body, and silently came out of the bathroom to lay directly on the bed.

       Li Zhenruo was still close to the wall at first and didn’t dare to move, but after he saw Li Zhenran lying down, he couldn’t help but slowly approach him. He jumped on the bed, stood on the edge of the pillow, and stretched out his front paw to gently touch Li Zhenran’s shoulder.

       Li Zhenran didn’t respond.

       Li Zhenruo hesitated a little, then stretched out his paw to nudged him lightly.

       This time Li Zhenran gave him a response, but he didn’t speak. He just raised an arm and shook it, as if trying to drive him away, but because the movement was too big, Li Zhenruo was pushed out of the bed when he waved his arm over.

       Li Zhenruo was stunned for a moment. His first reaction was to think that Li Zhenran was turning his back on him since he had finished having fun with him. Later, he felt that it was wrong. It’s obvious that he transformed after he finished while not giving the other party a chance to have fun.

       But he still felt hurt. In an instant, the Sweetie in the past has become the present-day Mrs Bull again²reference to Chinese Odyssey. Li Zhenruo’s mouth flattened, and he went out of the room. He jumped on the sofa in the living room, rolled his body into a ball and lay down.

       He felt a little sad at first. Li Zhenruo kept staring at the bedroom door and couldn’t fall asleep. Later, in the middle of the night, after all, his body was too tired, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

       This time, he slept until the morning. He was woken up by the sound of the door opening. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already bright outside, so the time should already be late.

       The person who opened the door and came in was Hua Yibang because Li Zhenran was going back on the plane this morning, but he never got up. Hua Yibang called him and but the phone was not turned on, so he took the room card and came to open the door.

       In the beginning, Hua Yibang was a little cautious. He was afraid that he would see some inappropriate scene when he broke into the bedroom. He originally planned to call Li Zhenran in the living room, but instead, he saw the cat lying on the sofa.

       Li Zhenruo woke up and remained motionless, with his head resting on his paws, and only opened his eyes to look at him.

       Hua Yibang couldn’t hide his surprise anymore, because he saw the collar on Li Zhenruo’s neck.

       Li Zhenruo guessed that Hua Yibang was thoroughly confused.

       But as expected of Hua Yibang, who has been with Li Zhenran for so many years, he quickly get over his surprise and walked to the bedroom door and knocked lightly, “Zhenran, get up.”

       The only person on the bed was Li Zhenran, so it was clear at a glance that there was no need to look any further.

       Li Zhenran slept on his stomach all night, and now he raised his head and rubbed his forehead in pain.

       Hua Yibang reminded him, “If you’re late, you’ll have to change your ticket.”

       Li Zhenran nodded, turned over and sat up. But it was obvious that he was not fully awake, so he raised his hands to cover his face for a while.

       When Li Zhenran put on his trousers and walked outside while putting on his clothes, Hua Yibang finally couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s your cat?”

       Li Zhenran had already walked to the living room at that time, glanced at him inexplicably, pointed to Li Zhenruo on the sofa and said, “Isn’t that a cat?”

       Hua Yibang said, “I’m not talking about—” At this point, he seemed a little discouraged and said, “Forget it, it’s nothing.”

       Li Zhenran walked towards the bathroom and said to Hua Yibang, “By the way, help me with the pet check. I want to take it back.”

       Hua Yibang replied with “OK” and left the room first.

       Li Zhenruo lay on the sofa and didn’t want to move. Although he slept for a while, he still didn’t feel much better, especially when he remembered what happened last night. A word popped into his head inexplicably: forsaken after being dallied with.

       But Li Zhenran seemed to be the same as he was countless mornings. After getting up, he went to the bathroom to wash and tidy up and didn’t give Li Zhenruo a second look.

       Not to mention what happened last night, it was as if he didn’t even remember when Li Zhenruo once became a person.

       After he came out of the bathroom, Li Zhenran saw Li Zhenruo looking at him with a straight face.

       Although it’s not easy to say how the cat has a straight face, he just knows that his cat was staring with a straight face.

       Li Zhenran still ignored him and went back to the room to pack up.

       Li Zhenruo suddenly felt that he wanted to go to the toilet at this moment, but he didn’t bring out the cat toilet, so he could only run to the toilet, jumped on the toilet, and struggled to find a position where he could urinate while standing on the toilet seat.

       At this time, Li Zhenran suddenly came in.

       Li Zhenruo felt that this posture was really unsightly, and he didn’t want to be seen by Li Zhenran, but when he was nervous, his whole cat body almost slipped into the toilet, but fortunately, Li Zhenran reached out and caught it.

       Li Zhenran lifted his two front paws and said, “Hurry up.”

       Li Zhenruo looked up at him. Although he was reluctant, he was even more reluctant to go out and urinate on the street. In the end, he was helped by Li Zhenran to urinate.

       There was some sadness and anger and some sorrow.

       After urinating, Li Zhenruo didn’t want to move and lay on the living room carpet to pretend to be dead. Later, Li Zhenran packed his luggage, picked him up with one hand and walked outside.

       Li Tuanzi followed Li Zhenran to the airport.

       To be honest, Li Zhenruo was a little depressed, because the name Li Tuanzi was really ugly, but he knew that it was definitely not easy to find an identity like that. If he asked Luo Fei to help him make a new one because the name was too ugly, it would be too much. 

       The outcome of forcing down this depression was that Li Zhenruo gritted his teeth against Li Zhenran along the way.

       When changing the boarding pass, Li Zhenran asked him, “What are you looking at me for?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep with his skin!”

       Li Zhenran surprisingly asked, “Who?”

       After asking, Li Zhenruo clearly saw that Li Zhenran was smiling briefly. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand, but he was just teasing Li Zhenruo.

       They were accompanied by Hua Yibang.

       He followed behind them and didn’t speak, and he didn’t react to the name Li Tuanzi.

       Later, when he passed the security check, the security check guard looked up at him, “Li Tuanzi?”

       Li Zhenruo replied bitterly, “Yes.”

       The security officer didn’t say anything, but couldn’t help but look at him again. Probably because such a strange and bizarre name was also rare.

       After a two-hour flight, they arrived at their destination.

       Sure enough, as Li Zhenruo expected, they arrived at the provincial capital city where Qijiang was located. Li Zhenruo made a lot of trips here. The project address was originally decided by him after repeated investigations and discussions with the government.

         It was already dark.

       It’s just that Li Zhenruo slept on the plane just now, so he was not really tired now.

       When they came out of the airport, a driver sent by the branch office here came to pick them up.

       After they got into the car, Li Zhenran said, “Go to the hotel first.”

       Then he said to Li Zhenruo, “Wait for me in the hotel later. I will be picking up some people with Yibang. We will wait for some experts to come over, and have dinner together.”

       “Going to eat more?” Li Zhenruo asked. He had eaten a lot on the plane just now.

       Until now, Li Zhenran didn’t tell Li Zhenruo what the trip was for. Li Zhenran didn’t explain, and Li Zhenruo didn’t ask. He just heard that Li Zhenran wanted to pick up experts, and he couldn’t help wondering if there was something wrong with the project site over there.

       Li Zhenran raised his hand and touched his head, “Do you still want to eat?”

       “Yeah,” Li Zhenruo replied, “The food here is delicious.”

       Before they reached the hotel, the sky began to drizzle.

       The driver who picked them up complained, “What awful weather, it rains every day.”

       Li Zhenruo put his face next to the car window and looked outside, thinking it was probably the arrival of the rainy season.

       When they arrived at the hotel, the manager of Yunlin branch was already waiting for them here.

       After they checked in, Li Zhenran first accompanied Li Zhenruo to take the luggage up and put it in the room. The two of them had a suite with a living room and a bedroom, and Hua Yibang’s room was next to them.

       When Li Zhenran opened the door with his room card, Hua Yibang couldn’t help but glance at them, but he didn’t ask anything.

       Li Zhenruo sometimes envied Li Zhenran for having such a capable assistant who was silent and observant.

       Li Zhenran put down his things and went out with Hua Yibang. He asked Li Zhenruo to stay in the room and wait for his call.

       Li Zhenruo lay on the big bed and spread out his limbs lazily. He found that he didn’t want to do anything. The rain outside seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. He grabbed the remote control on the bedside table and turned on the TV, just in time to see the local news issuing an orange early warning rainstorm alert¹A status orange weather warning is given before expected weather conditions that could significantly impact people, property and activity in an area. People in the affected areas should prepare appropriately now for the anticipated conditions. Read more.

       It has been raining for many days, and many low altitude places were heavily waterlogged.

       Qijiang was only more than 200 kilometres away from the provincial capital, and the area was probably also raining heavily. Li Zhenruo wondered if the reason Li Zhenran came in such a hurry had anything to do with the heavy rain here.

       Seeing that the news has jumped to community news, Li Zhenruo used the remote control to change the channel, wanting to see if there are more reports.

       After about an hour, Li Zhenran called him to go down for dinner.

       Because it was quite late at that time, the dinner was arranged in the hotel restaurant. Li Zhenruo went downstairs and saw Li Zhenran talking with three or four people like teachers and scholars. Behind him, in addition to Hua Yibang and the branch manager, there was also the project manager of the Qijiang project.

       They went to a private room in the restaurant and sat at a table.

       Li Zhenran said, “It’s too late today, and we still have some business to do in the morning, so let’s just have a casual dinner tonight. When the things over there are over, we’ll be sure to treat the several teachers to a good meal.”

       Everyone was saying that Li Zhenran was too courteous one after another.

       Li Zhenruo was not hungry, so he picked out a few favourite dishes to eat, and at other times drank the soup in front of him with a spoon.

       The collar on his neck was really eye-catching, but no one asked him. People were only asking about Li Zhenruo’s identity. Li Zhenran introduced him as his cousin and that he brought him to learn something.

       After listening to everyone talking during the meal, Li Zhenruo realized that there was something wrong with the construction site in Qijiang. Originally, the construction site had begun to build the surrounding area. However, due to several days of heavy rains, the flood control retaining wall of the nearby river collapsed on a large scale, flooding the construction site. Of course, the construction site was flooded, which could be said to be due to this flood disaster that has not been encountered in nearly a century. However, a nearby building that was under construction collapsed, and the people in the project team couldn’t help but get a little nervous. They were afraid that there was a problem with the underlying geological layer, which would have an impact on future construction work.

       So Li Zhenran invited top experts in geology, architecture and engineering to come. He hoped to ask them to conduct on-the-spot surveys to see how much influence the geology has on the construction of the entire tourism project, what was the probability of geological disasters in the future, and whether there was a need to re-plan?

       In fact, Li Zhenruo had asked someone to do survey work in the early stage of site selection, but it seemed to be far less meticulous than Li Zhenran’s this time. Although there were only a few people eating together tonight, several experts brought students and teams together, which must have cost a lot.

       Li Zhenruo bit the spoon and thought that Li Zhenran was pursuing perfection too much. Sometimes in Li Jianglin’s opinion, it was almost as if he was nitpicking, so Li Jianglin chose to hand over the Qijiang project to him instead of Li Zhenran.

       After they ate and went back to the room, Li Zhenran went to take a bath first. Li Zhenruo lay on the bed and didn’t want to move.

       After he lay down for a while, he suddenly remembered something. He got up and went through Li Zhenran’s bag, trying to find his ID card. Although the name was really unbearable, it was always more convenient to have an ID card with you. Originally, he had put away his ID card after going through the security check at the airport, and he took it from Li Zhenran just now when he opened the room for registration.

       He thought that if it wasn’t for this sudden trip, Li Zhenran would have no intention to give him his ID card at all or even planned to tell him about it.

       After rummaging for a while, Li Zhenran came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and asked him, “What are you doing?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Where’s the ID card? Can you give it to me?”

       Li Zhenran passed by him, sat down beside the bed, and said, “What are you here for?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “It’s more convenient. If you’re not with me and there’s some emergency.”

       Li Zhenran said, “Then, you stay with me and don’t go a step farther.”

       Li Zhenruo couldn’t hold back and said, “You’re sick…”

       Li Zhenran looked at him with cold eyes.

       Li Zhenruo didn’t dare to provoke him anymore and said, “I’m going to take a bath.”

       He finished his shower and put on his pyjamas before going out. In the past, Li Zhenruo didn’t really care about these things. In any case, they were all men, and Li Zhenran was his second brother. After taking a shower, he often wore underwear and casually hung around at home.

       But after what happened last night, he felt a little embarrassed and thought that his rut period was probably not over yet, so he should keep it more hidden and not cause any misunderstanding.

       Li Zhenran was lying on the bed watching TV, which was playing the evening news.

       Li Zhenruo lay down beside him and asked, “Will you go even if it rains heavily tomorrow?”

       Li Zhenran nodded, “Yes, people had been invited to come. No matter how bad the environment is, I have to go. Who can guarantee that this situation won’t happen again in the future?”

       Li Zhenruo had guessed that Li Zhenran would definitely say so.

       Li Zhenran suddenly stretched out a hand, resting his elbow on the head of the bed, and tugging at Li Zhenruo’s hair with his fingers to play.

       Li Zhenruo turned to look at him but saw that he was not looking at him, and was staring at the TV screen thoughtfully. His thoughts were probably not on Li Zhenruo, and it was just like teasing a pet and playing with its hair.

       As he looked at Li Zhenran’s profile, for some reason Li Zhenruo’s heart started to beat faster, his body began to heat up for no reason, and his breathing became short. Finally, he could not help but jump off the bed and went to the bathroom.

       About the cat’s rut matter, Li Zhenruo has actually checked it carefully on the Internet. It seems that many people have different opinions. Some people say that contact with female cats would cause the cat to be in heat. Some said that birth control was necessary, and some people say that it was better to mate.

       Anyway, Li Zhenruo had read a lot, but he was still not clear about his situation. It would be very painful if he was like this all the time, and lately, he has always reacted to Li Zhenran.

       Could it be Li Zhenran was actually a female cat?

       When he went back to bed, Li Zhenran had already turned off the TV and fallen asleep.

       Li Zhenruo fumbled to lay down, but Li Zhenran grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms.

       He stiffened for a moment and asked in a muffled voice, “Why are you hugging so tightly?”

       Li Zhenran buried his face on the side of his neck, rubbed his face, and said, “Isn’t this the purpose of bringing you out?”

       Li Zhenruo said angrily, “I’m not a pillow.”

       Li Zhenran said, “Don’t make trouble, there’s no sense of security sleeping in a hotel.”

       “…” Li Zhenruo thought silently, You must be sick, right?

       The next morning, they drove to Qijiang.

       When he got up in the morning, Li Zhenruo stood by the window and opened the heavy curtains to look outside, and unexpectedly found that the sky was sunny. Seeing that it should be a sunny day today, he couldn’t help sighing that she was lucky.

       They drove at a high speed. Li Zhenruo sat in the back seat and yawned.

       Li Zhenran asked him, “You did not sleep enough?”

       Li Zhenruo nodded and rested his head on Li Zhenran’s shoulder.

       Hua Yibang was able to keep a calm face, but the driver only looked down and lowered his head, and focused on driving ahead.

       Because the weather was clear, the road was relatively smooth today. It took less than two hours to reach Qijiang’s urban area after driving at a high speed. That construction project of Yunlin was in the north of Qijiang’s urban area, and it was about almost 20 minutes of driving.

       They went over there and left the wide road, and entered the small road, gradually they drive away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the surrounding became quiet. The distance from here to Qijiang was originally a name of a river, and the city in Qijiang was just a city built on the river. This area was in the lower reaches of the river, with high mountains and gentle slopes in the distance and vast plains near. The forest coverage rate has reached nearly 45%. As soon as you open the window, fresh air comes to your face.

       Li Zhenruo took a deep breath, his mood seemed to have become peaceful.

       Previously, the Qijiang river dike burst has been urgently repaired by the government to re enclose the dike. Now the flood has receded a lot, but a large amount of pool of water could still be seen in the distance, especially at the construction site where the siege began, and even a part of the wall that was washed down by the flood could be seen.

       The person in charge of the construction site had come to greet Li Zhenran.

       However, due to the accumulation of water on the construction site, it was impossible to go in dryly in any way, so Li Zhenran asked the driver to park the car on the dry level outside and said to Li Zhenruo, “Wait for me in the car.”

       Li Zhenran was wearing casual clothes today with a waterproof jacket and a baseball cap on his head, looking like he was out for a field trip.

       Li Zhenruo said, “I’ll go in with you.”

       Li Zhenran said, “Stay here and don’t run around.”

       Afterwards, Li Zhenran and Hua Yibang got out of the car and got into another car. The off-road vehicle drove forward for a certain distance and stopped. Afraid that the car would get stuck in the mud and stall, the people in the car had to get out and wade in.

       Li Zhenruo pressed down the car window and could only see Li Zhenran’s back in the distance. When they entered the construction site, he only saw a few off-road vehicles left outside.

       Forget it, he thought, he had nothing to do with the Li family’s affairs anyway.

       Somewhat bored, he opened the car door and walked around the neighbourhood. He saw the driver also get out of the car, and got together with a few other drivers to start smoking and chatting.

       With Li Zhenruo’s character, it was actually nothing much to go over and to talk to them. But he looked like a child now, and he knew that those middle-aged people didn’t want to talk to him very much, so he didn’t go.

       There was still some distance from the riverside to here, but the wind was still a bit chilly. Li Zhenruo stood there for a while and then went back to the car and huddled in the back seat to play with his mobile phone.

       He didn’t know how long it took, but when he suddenly raised his head, he felt that it was dark outside. Originally, when he came out in the morning, there was still the sun in the sky, but at this time, it seemed like a violent storm was coming soon.

       Li Zhenruo couldn’t help being a little nervous. He sat up and looked outside. He saw several drivers running in the direction of the parking lot, and the ground in the field began to fall with pea-sized raindrops.

       The rain suddenly became huge in an instant. The driver opened the car door, sat up, and said, “This is a rainstorm coming.”

       Li Zhenruo saw the surrounding branches dancing wildly by the strong wind. Even with the window closed, he could hear the sound of raindrops hitting the roof and glass and the sound of the wind blowing. There was no one around, just a few of their cars. The sky was so dark as if it was the end of the world.

       The smaller the rain, the heavier it was. Within ten minutes, some water started to accumulate outside.

       The driver stared nervously into the distance and suddenly shouted, “Damn!”

       Li Zhenruo looked in the direction of his gaze and saw that the river surface in the distance was rapidly deepening, and the newly built flood breaker began to become shaky as if it might be washed away at any time.

       If the flood control embankment breaks, the construction site will be flooded immediately.

       Li Zhenruo took out his mobile phone and immediately wanted to call Li Zhenran.

       Unexpectedly, the driver actually started the car at this time. Li Zhenruo heard the movement and jumped forward and asked, “What are you doing?”

       The driver said nervously, “We won’t be able to leave when the flood comes over!”

       Li Zhenruo reached out to stop him, “They are still inside!”

       But the driver didn’t listen to him and insisted on starting the car. Li Zhenruo didn’t go to grab the keys from him, but simply opened the door and jumped down, running towards the construction site.

       The flood control embankment really collapsed, and Li Zhenruo saw the river water gushing out all of a sudden. The muddy yellow river water rolled up white foam, and instantly a huge wave was set off and slapped towards the construction site wall.

       However, Li Zhenruo ran towards the construction site like a madman, and at the same time shouted, “Li Zhenran!”

       With this loud shout, he suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and sat up with his back straight, and found that he was still in the car.

       He couldn’t help being in a trance for a few seconds. When Li Zhenruo came back to his senses, he realized that he was actually dreaming. He had a dream so realistic that even when he touched his forehead, he was still sweating.

       Li Zhenruo turned to look out the window. The weather was still sunny, and several drivers were still gathering together to smoke and talk nonsense.

       He closed his eyes and leaned back in the back seat. When his mood calmed down, he began to reminisce about what he felt in the dream. The feeling was very real, and he could still feel it now. At that moment, he was really not afraid of death. Even if he died, he would definitely go to Li Zhenran’s side.

Notes:
Lmao Hua Yibang the third wheeler.
Every of Zhenran subordinate must have a very wild thoughts when seeing Zhenruo with that collar. Imagine how awkward it is to see your boss with his pet (^ิ艸^ิﾟ)

       They didn’t expect to run into Yue Zijia by chance here. Li Zhenruo’s first reaction was to invite her in for a few minutes of conversations, but Li Zhenran obviously didn’t have any intention to let it happen.

       And Yue Zijia, who was very good at reading people’s expressions stood at the door and did not come in. She only said, “What a coincidence, Zhenran, you are also eating here?”

       Li Zhenran smiled at her, “What a coincidence.”

       Yue Zijia was a part of this circle, and she was practically one of the old flowers in the high society. She knew a lot of people, even more than Li Zhenran and the others would know. At a glance, she could see that the young man opposite Li Zhenran was someone she did not know, and he looked very young, like a college student, and definitely not a business partner from somewhere, so she naturally had some ideas in her heart.

       Li Zhenruo was also wearing casual clothes today, and the collar around his neck was very eye-catching. The collar was actually light and thin, but it was hard not to notice it when it was worn on a person. So Yue Zijia glanced at Li Zhenruo and said, “I won’t bother you guys, I’m going back.”

       Li Zhenran politely said, “Okay, let’s have the opportunity to have dinner together next time.”

       He spoke thoughtlessly, and Yue Zijia also listened to it nonchalantly and didn’t take the offer seriously.

       After closing the door, Li Zhenruo asked Li Zhenran, “Is she your younger brother’s woman?”

       Li Zhenran didn’t answer him immediately, but asked, “Why are you asking this? Are you interested in her?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “What are you thinking, can’t I ask for Yu Bingwei’s sake? Miss Yu is my master anyway.”

       Unexpectedly, when Li Zhenran heard this, he suddenly pointed at him with a chopstick and said, “Remember this, I am your master, no one else is.”

       Li Zhenruo was speechless because of his strange possessiveness.

       But after hearing Li Zhenruo’s explanation, Li Zhenran said to him, “I don’t know if she has an affair with the third child.”

       Li Zhenruo looked at him in surprise.

       Li Zhenran said, “I haven’t seen it with my own eyes.”

       Li Zhenruo thought to himself, Li Zhenzi really concealed himself deep enough. However, come to think of it, if someone knew about their relationship, then he would not let Yue Zijia come forward as the appraisal client.

       He just didn’t know if there was indeed something in common between Yue Zijia and Li Jianglin.

       Li Zhenruo hesitated for a while and didn’t ask. He was afraid that if he asked too many questions, Li Zhenran would be suspicious.

       After they ate, when they came out of the small private room, they encountered Yue Zijia and a man who also came out from the next room.

       That man was someone that Li Zhenran and Li Zhenruo knew. He was the young master of a small transportation company. He seemed to have drunk some wine and kissed Yue Zijia despite being in public places.

       When Yue Zijia saw Li Zhenran and the others, she felt a little embarrassed and pushed the man away slightly.

       The man then noticed Li Zhenran and the others. He exchanged a few words with Li Zhenran and left with Yue Zijia.

       Li Zhenruo looked at their backs and wondered how could Li Zhenzi feel at ease to leave this kind of thing to a woman with such a chaotic private life? Was he not afraid that the secrets of the Li family would be leaked by Yue Zijia?

       When he went back in the evening, Li Zhenruo bought a cup of coffee at Starbucks on the side of the road. After he drank it, he had insomnia at night.

       Li Zhenran was already about to fall asleep, but Li Zhenruo tossed and turned beside him. He impatiently raised his leg and pressed it on Li Zhenruo’s body, and said, “Are you going to sleep or not?”

       Li Zhenruo stopped, “I can’t sleep.”

       Li Zhenran closed his eyes, sighed helplessly, and asked him, “Why can’t you fall asleep?”

       Li Zhenruo didn’t expect this when he was drinking coffee at that time. He used to drink coffee at night, but it didn’t affect his sleep at all. Now perhaps because his body has changed, it was not used to the stimulation of coffee.

       “I don’t know,” he said.

       Li Zhenruo was originally curled up and slept by the edge of the bed, but because he tossed and turned, he was very close to Li Zhenran and lay down side by side.

       Li Zhenran was already tired, so he pulled himself together and asked him, “Are you in heat?”

       Li Zhenruo was stunned for a moment, remembering that he really didn’t feel anything today, maybe he was a little tired from running outside all day during the daytime.

       Li Zhenran turned over and put one hand on Li Zhenruo’s chest, fumbling down slowly, “Do you want me to help you?”

       Li Zhenruo was shocked. He hurriedly moved aside, “What are you doing?”

       In the end, he backed away too much and fell off the mattress. Fortunately, the bed was not too high and landed on the tatami.

       Li Zhenran raised his head and glanced at him, his tone was a little impatient, “Then go to the toilet, if you turn over and over again, I will castrate you to avoid any more noise!”

       Li Zhenruo was so scared out of his wits, so he got up and walked towards the bathroom without speaking for a long time. In fact, there was nothing wrong with his body, but the way Li Zhenran touching him felt just now was still very clear, and Li Zhenruo felt that his heart was beating like a drum.

       He still remembered that when he was studying abroad, his private life was actually quite chaotic for a while. He knew a very good looking young white gay man, and he once agreed to let the young gay man to do him once. He thought it was pretty cool at the time, but it wasn’t necessarily better than with a woman, and the young gay’s hand was always touching him at that time, didn’t make him feel aroused.

       But today, Li Zhenran only put his palm on his chest, and then slid all the way down. But it was as if a fire had been lit on him, and the hot touch could not be forgotten until now.

       Li Zhenruo thought, he really was in the rut period. The effect of hormones on the body was really terrible.

       However, he was a little angry. At first, he doesn’t need to deal with it, but Li Zhenran’s provocation made him has to deal with it.

       After he resolved the heat, Li Zhenruo didn’t go back to the bed but lay down on the sofa.

       The lights in the living room were not turned on, and the light came in from the outside. Because they were on a high floor, the lights outside were also very dim. Li Zhenruo lay on the sofa with his eyes closed and tried to sleep for a while, but he couldn’t fall asleep, so he simply opened his eyes. He stared at the dark ceiling and began to daydream.

       Later, Li Zhenran woke up in the middle of the night and found that Li Zhenruo had come back to him and seemed to fall asleep. He rolled over and put his arms around Li Zhenruo’s waist, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

       When he woke up in the morning, Li Zhenran saw Li Zhenruo was lying beside him and playing with his mobile phone.

       Li Zhenran rubbed his forehead and stretched out a hand in front of Li Zhenruo, “Give me your phone.”

       Li Zhenruo handed it to him obediently. Li Zhenran saw that he was playing a boring minigame, so he closed the game and took a look at the time. It was almost seven in the morning.

       Li Zhenruo approached and asked, “What to play? Give me the next one.”

       Li Zhenran said, “Do it yourself later.” Then he sat up and got ready to get out of bed.

       In the morning, Li Zhenruo still waited until Li Zhenran went out before he go out. After eating something on the roadside for breakfast, he reached out to stop the car and asked the driver to take him to the appraisal office.

       Li Zhenruo came over to find an acquaintance.

       At that time, he had just been kicked out of the Li family, and his reaction was the same as now. He wanted to find out who was screwing him, so he spent some money to bribe the staff of the appraisal office and got the identity of the client who came to do the identification. It was a young woman who submit the appraisal.

       Unfortunately, Li Zhenruo couldn’t remember that person’s phone number now, so he could only come over in person and try to find him.

       Li Zhenruo had a deep impression of this place, especially the security guard who used a broom to drive him away several times in front of the entrance of the appraisal office.

       He didn’t need to be chased away today, but Li Zhenruo looks too young and didn’t look like someone who would do an appraisal. When he walked to the registration desk at the front desk, the young girl at the registration actually asked him, “Are you alone? Where are your parents?”

       Li Zhenruo didn’t know what to say for a while, so he could only ask, “Is Wu Hong there?”

       The young girl at the front desk asked him, “Who are you? Why are you looking for Wu Hong?”

       Li Zhenruo replied, “I’m his cousin, ask him to come out. I want to see him.”

       The young girl seemed a little hesitant, but she still said, “Wait a minute, I’ll call him.”

       Wu Hong was a young man and just graduated from university two years ago. He was working as an assistant in the laboratory.

       After he received the call, he hurriedly went to the front desk. But he was also puzzled, he didn’t know which of his cousins ​​would come here to look for him. Li Zhenruo said first, “Li Zhenruo asked me to come to you.”

       Wu Hong’s expression changed suddenly.

       At that time he did not charge Li Zhenruo much money because he did not disclose any information. Li Zhenruo felt unwilling, and later called him again and promised to give him 5000 yuan¹786.83, in exchange for the detailed information of the identification client. At that time, Wu Hong was emotionally affected. He hesitated for several days before he agreed to Li Zhenruo, but Li Zhenruo had an accident.

       Now Wu Hong became nervous when he heard Li Zhenruo’s name. After all, he signed a non-disclosure agreement²A non-disclosure agreement is a legally binding contract that establishes a confidential relationship. The party or parties signing the agreement agree that sensitive information they may obtain will not be made available to any others. An NDA may also be referred to as a confidentiality agreement. when he work there. If anyone in the laboratory knew that he had sold customer information, he would definitely be kicked out.

       He glanced left and right in panic.

       Li Zhenruo said to him, “Let’s find a quiet place to talk.”

       Wu Hong nodded and took him outside the appraisal office. They walked to a secluded street, stood under a big tree, and Wu Hong asked him, “What do you want from me?”

       Li Zhenruo smiled, “Don’t be nervous, I just heard Li Zhenruo mentioned you and wanted to ask you a question.”

       Wu Hong said, “I don’t know anything. Don’t ask me.”

       Li Zhenruo said to him, “I haven’t asked the question yet, what are you anxious about?”

       Wu Hong scratched his neck and insisted, “I don’t know anything anyway.”

       Of course Li Zhenruo knew that he was not as principled as he showed, so he came to him again, and said to Wu Hong, “Here’s the deal, you listen to me first. I will ask you a question, if I am wrong, just shake your head, if I’m right, you don’t have to give me a response. This way you didn’t sell anyone’s information, and you answered me, I’ll give you 500 yuan³78.68.”

       Wu Hong’s expression was obviously shaken.

       Li Zhenruo simply took out his mobile phone, found a photo to show him, and asked him, “Is this woman the one who came for the identification?”

       At that moment, Li Zhenruo clearly saw that Wu Hong’s pupils were dilated and his expression was a little uncontrollable. He already knew the answer.

       This was Yue Zijia’s photo. This morning, Li Zhenruo took his mobile phone before Li Zhenran woke up, and entered Yue Zijia’s personal social networking site. He found two pictures with clearer angles and sent them to his mobile phone.

       Wu Hong’s expression was very troubled.

       Li Zhenruo asked him, “You didn’t shake your head. Now tell me, do you want the 500 yuan?”

       Wu Hong took a deep breath and stretched out his hand, “Since you already know, then give me the money.”

       Li Zhenruo got the answer he wanted and gave Wu Hong 500 in cash, then backed away and waved to him, “Thank you, goodbye.”

       Wu Hong put the money in his pocket and hurriedly turned to leave.

       Yue Zijia and Li Zhenzi.

       Li Zhenruo raised his hand to slightly block the sun shining down above his head. He felt the need to go back to Li’s house now, but if he wanted to go back to Li’s house, the identity of a cat would be more beneficial than that of a person, but at the same time, there are many things that a cat can not do.

       Li Zhenruo thought in his heart, if only he could change his identity freely, wouldn’t it be very convenient?

       At this time, Li Zhenruo suddenly remembered a person. When he was in mountain villa, Feng Junyuan gave him a phone number and said that if he needed any help, he could find someone named Song Jun, because he knew a lot about cats.

       Li Zhenruo thought that maybe now was the time. He should call the person named Song Jun. If he has time, it is best to ask him out to meet.

       It was actually quite risky if he thought about it. But Li Zhenruo thought of what Feng Junyuan said at the time, and felt that the other party seemed quite credible.

       After hesitating for a long time, when Li Zhenruo took out his mobile phone to dial, Li Zhenran called first.

       “Where are you?” Li Zhenran said.

       Li Zhenruo said, “I’m shopping on the street. Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”

       Li Zhenran said, “Stop shopping and go home first. I’ll pick you up later, and we’ll go to the airport.”

       “Airport?” Li Zhenruo was stunned.

       Li Zhenran said: “I’m going on a business trip temporarily, and you will go with me. Go back and pack some things, and I’ll pick you up.”

       “But—”

       Li Zhenran didn’t even listen to what he was saying, and hung up the phone.

       Li Zhenruo looked at his phone and thought, But I don’t have an ID card? What am I going to the airport with you for? Can I even get on a plane? But Li Zhenran sounded so anxious. Li Zhenruo’s first reaction was that something had happened to the company. A business trip? Is it a problem with the project in the western part?

       But now it’s just speculation. Li Zhenruo reached out and called a car and asked the driver to take him home first.

       Li Zhenruo considered that he did not have an ID card, and Li Zhenran could not possibly conduct a pet consignment for him. How should he take him there? Using a private plane? Chartering the whole plane?

       Despite his doubts, Li Zhenruo obediently packed two pieces of clothing.

       When he packed up, he found that all of them were Li Zhenran’s clothes. He wandered outside for two days and didn’t think of buying himself a suit of clothes to wear. Li Zhenran obviously didn’t expect leaving this area either.

       As long as he didn’t take the collar around his neck, Li Zhenran would have no problem even if he goes out naked.

       Li Zhenran didn’t come back after almost an hour. Li Zhenruo packed two of his clothes and put them in a big suitcase.

       Li Zhenruo only had time to ask, “How can I get there without an ID card?”

       Li Zhenran stood by the coffee table in the living room, took a sip of water, then glanced at him and said, “I’ll provide it for you. I’ve already bought the ticket.”

       Li Zhenruo was a little surprised, “Fake ID? Can it pass the security check?”

       Li Zhenran said, “No, the identity information is real, and the ID card is also real.”

       Li Zhenruo looked at him suspiciously, now that all identity information was online, it was easy to make a fake ID. But how easy was it to forge a person’s fake identity, he couldn’t help asking, “You let me use someone else’s identity? “

       He has already thought of 10,000 words in his brain, Li Zhenran found a young man who looked a lot like him, murdered and robbed his ID card.

       Li Zhenran took out an ID card from the inner pocket of his suit, and dangled his fingers between his eyes.

       Li Zhenruo grabbed it, and when he saw the words “Li Tuanzi⁴Tuanzi is Dumpling’s name in Chinese” on his ID card, he couldn’t hold back the blue veins bursting out on his forehead, and he had the urge to kill.

       He couldn’t tell the authenticity of the ID card just by the feel of his hand, but since Li Zhenran was so sure, it means that the ID card was likely to be real. There was no longer Li Zhenruo in this world, but there was a man named Li Tuanzi. His birthday was the day he was born as a cat, and the year was by Li Zhenran himself, who set him as an eighteen-year-old this year. In fact, if you look at his face, he was more like sixteen or seventeen years old, but he couldn’t bother to care so much about a cat.

       Li Zhenruo looked at the ID card and asked Li Zhenran, “How did you do it?”

       Wasn’t this too difficult? And the time was so short. It has only been three days since he became a human.

       Li Zhenran confessed: “I couldn’t do it, it was given to me by Luo Fei.”

       “Luo Fei?” Li Zhenruo’s doubts did not ease at all. “Did he hack into the public security department’s network? Or did he have a great backup?”

       Li Zhenran said, “He didn’t say it, but when I asked him, he said he could do it. This ID card was delivered on time. When I decided to go on a business trip, he happened to find someone to deliver it to me. So I booked a flight for you.”

       Li Zhenruo looked at the ID card and thought of Luo Fei and the doctor Feng who was with him. They seemed to be mysterious, but aren’t they ordinary people?

The author has something to say:

The collar has a positioning. As for whether the second brother is monitoring his position in real-time, the fourth brother said that he doesn’t know, and he couldn’t care less for now…

Notes:
So there’s a difference of 5000 yuan that Li Zhenruo human give and the 500 yuan the Li Zhenruo cat give right? I think it’s just coz it’s not possible for the Li Zhenruo cat to give 5000 yuan when he was only given a 2000 yuan allowance by Zhenran.
Also yeah… At first I was debating to use Tuanzi from the start or Dumpling… but… calling him dumpling sounds cuter… and in a way now it provides distinction. Tuanzi = the human, Dumpling = the cat
