Month: August 2022 (Page 2 of 2)

       Li Zhenran stepped into the rain curtain. He squatted down in front of the Garfield on the ground and reached out to touch his chest. Its chest was still warm and heaving softly.

       At that moment, Li Zhenran’s expression was a little dazed.

       He admitted that he was hesitant at the last moment. When he knew that Li Zhenruo began to contact Shen Luming, his first thought was to keep the two of them apart no matter what. It wasn’t that Li Zhenrah didn’t think of other options, and he even hesitated to go after Shen Luming first.

       However, now that he and Li Zhenruo have come to this point, he started to be overcautious and was reluctant to make any rash moves, for fear that their relationship would come to an irreparable end.

       But even if he tried hard to save it, Li Zhenruo didn’t give him any room to regret and chose to leave easily.

       “He—” Li Zhenran opened his mouth to ask Xia Hongshen.

       At this time, the Garfield, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes.

       Li Zhenran watched him struggle to get away from his palm, rolled and stood up. His legs were still a little weak, but he took two steps back.

       The heavy rain made it difficult for Garfield to open his eyes. He shook his head and shook the water on his body, looking at Li Zhenran with strange and wary eyes.

       Xia Hongshen didn’t like being exposed to the rain either. The feeling of wet clothes wrapped around his body reminded him of the feeling of wet fur on his body, which was very uncomfortable. He asked the Garfield, “Are you okay? Getting used to your body?”

       The Garfield shook the water on his body again, and instead of looking at Li Zhenran, he came to Shen Luming who was lying on the ground and looked at Shen Luming worriedly.

       Xia Hongshen said, “It’s okay, he can’t wake up for the time being, and he may have to be taken to the hospital. He lost consciousness before and was occupied by you.”

       The Garfield seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and lightly touched Shen Luming’s hair with his lips.

       Li Zhenran stood up slowly and looked at him without saying a word.

       Xia Hongshen walked over to pick up Shen Luming and walked towards the stairwell. The Garfield hurriedly followed behind him without looking at Li Zhenran.

       “Teacher Xia,” Li Zhenran suddenly stopped Xia Hongshen.

       Xia Hongshen had already carried Shen Luming to a place where there was no rain, turned around and looked at Li Zhenran, “What?”

       Li Zhenran’s clothes were completely soaked, and his hair was on his cheeks. He asked Xia Hongshen, “How can I find him?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “If he can be reincarnated smoothly, maybe one day you can meet him.”

       After he finished speaking, Xia Hongshen carried Shen Luming and left, while the Garfield followed him and hurriedly walked out.

       Only Li Zhenran was left alone, facing the empty rooftop.

       When Li Zhenran returned that night, he fell ill.

       He didn’t eat dinner. After he took a shower and dried his hair, he lay limp on the bed, with a sore and dry throat. The whole person was a little muddled, lacking in energy, but unable to sleep.

       After a while, Li Zhenran picked up his mobile phone and made a call. He said to the people over there, “Keep watching over Shen Luming to see if he has changed from the past, if he is still with his girlfriend, and if he has given up his plans to go abroad.”

       After giving these instructions, Li Zhenran hung up the phone, raised his head and closed his eyes.

       He didn’t fully believe that the scene he saw today was true, but his sadness wasn’t fake either.

       His head hurts, but his brain was running unconsciously. What he should do next emerged clearly in his mind, but he couldn’t do it.

       The more he did, the further he was likely to push Li Zhenruo.

       At this time, Wang Ma knocked on the door outside and told him to go down for dinner.

       “No,” Li Zhenran replied in a hoarse voice, “I’m not feeling well.”

       Wang Ma heard the words and said quickly, “What? Are you sick? Do you want someone to take you to the hospital?”

       Li Zhenran replied, “No, I’ll just take a couple of cold pills and I’ll be fine.”

       He had always been in good health. Today, he was probably sick because of the rain and his emotional turmoil. Li Zhenran’s whole body was aching and felt weak, and he had no appetite or desire to move when he was lying in bed.

       After a while, Wang Ma brought him cold medicine, congee, and pickles.

       Li Zhenran reluctantly drank some congee and took the cold medicine with a glass of water.

       Wang Ma sat by the bed, looked at him tenderly, and suddenly asked, “Where’s Dumpling?”

       Li Zhenran raised his arm to block his eyes and said softly, “Ran away.”

       Wang Ma was stunned for a while, “Ran away again?” Then she sighed and said, “I guess it’s time for him to go into heat again, I told you to castrate it a long time ago, but you are reluctant to do it.”

       When he heard this, Li Zhenran couldn’t hold back a wry smile, “I’m just afraid that he wouldn’t live long after he was castrated.”

       Wang Ma went out with the porridge bowl he had not finished eating and helped him close the door.

       Li Zhenran reached out and picked up the collar at the head of the bed, and his fingers lightly stroked the lettering inside the collar, which had his own name engraved on it, as if to indicate the owner’s possession of the pet.

       In fact, he really hadn’t used the positioning function of the collar for a long time. For him, the collar no longer had the same meaning as it had at first, but unfortunately, Li Zhenruo would not believe it.

       Holding the collar, Li Zhenran rolled over somewhat uncomfortably, lying on his side and closed his eyes, but his hands never let go of the collar.

       The heavy rain that had been falling all day finally stopped at night.

       Li Zhenruo and Xia Hongshen were cooking hotpot around the induction cooker, and the fragrance wafted throughout the small building.

       Song Jun was in charge of the dishes, while the others stared at the pot with their bowls and drooled.

       Shortly after the potato slices were cooked, Long Xing wanted to stretch out his chopsticks, but Xia Hongshen hit him hard with his own chopsticks.

       Long Xing looked at Xia Hongshen at a loss and withdrew his hand.

       Xi Anling glanced at Long Xing and then at Xia Hongshen, and quickly put the chopsticks into the pot, but Xia Hongshen threw the chopsticks out before she caught the potato chips.

       Xi Anling complained, “I want to eat potato slices!”

       Xia Hongshen said expressionlessly, “Not soft.”

       Xi Anling pouted, “I like crispy ones!”

       Xia Hongshen said, “No.”

       Long Xing whispered, “I also want to eat the crispy ones too…”

       Xia Hongshen looked at them coldly, “If you all eat all the crispy ones, I’ll never be able to eat the soft potato chips.”

       Xi Anling tapped the bowl with chopsticks, pointed at Xia Hongshen and said, “You tyrant!”

       Xia Hongshen raised his head, his jawline was elegant and smooth, “Got a problem with that?”

       Long Xing reached out and hugged Xi Anling’s shoulder, “Forget it.”

       Unconvinced, Xi Anling pushed Feng Junyuan and said, “Xiao Feng, shall we vote?”

       Feng Junyuan still held the bowl and continued to stare at the pot. When he heard this, he glanced at Xi Anling and said hesitantly, “I want to eat soft ones too.”

       Song Jun said at this time, “I’m going to the supermarket tomorrow to buy a nine-square grid. What each person wants to eat will be thrown into the small grid in front of him. Eat what you eat and don’t touch others.”

       Xi Anling said quickly, “I agree!”

       Only Li Zhenruo said nothing and stared at the hot pot in a daze.

       Song Jun nudged him lightly, “What? Are you in a bad mood?”

       Li Zhenruo raised his head, saw everyone looking at him, and quickly said, “No.”

       Song Jun said, “Look, you lied to him, but you’re actually still sad inside.”

       Li Zhenruo heard the words and said, “I think he may not fully believe it.”

       “Why?” It was Long Xing who asked the question.

       Li Zhenruo sighed and said, “Master’s acting skills are too exaggerated.”

       Xia Hongshen didn’t seem to raise his hand, but Li Zhenruo felt a knock on the head, and then heard Xia Hongshen say, “Blaming me?”

       Li Zhenruo said quickly, “I don’t blame you, I blame myself as the disciple for being useless.”

       Song Jun asked at this time, “What if he believed it?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Maybe we should separate.”

       Xi Anling said softly, “Let’s not talk about that.”

       When Xi Anling saw that Xia Hongshen was looking at Li Zhenruo, she immediately stretched out her chopsticks and put a piece of potato in the pot, but only when she ate it in her mouth did she realize that it had become soft.

       As he saw this, Xia Hongshen said, “Oh, you can start eating.”

       After that day, he never saw Li Zhenran again.

       In regards to the matter of feelings, Li Zhenruo intended to put them aside for a while and treat himself as someone who was out of love. It was a terrible thing to fall out of love, but the pain of falling out of love and being unable to get out of it was even more terrifying.

       Li Zhenruo accepted Luo Fei’s invitation when he asked him to work in the logistics company that Luo Fei was running.

       The job was offered to him by Feng Junyuan, and at first Li Zhenruo was a bit hesitant. It was just that he had no capital and no experience now, and it was already the best choice for him to have a company like Luo Fei’s accept him.

       Moreover, previously he knew that Li Zhenran had been in contact with Luo Fei for Yunlin’s development in e-commerce. Real estate investment would slow down next, and with Yunlin’s commercial real estate companies, the large-scale development of e-commerce was definitely the next most important development trend. When he was still in Yunlin, Li Zhenran had already started to prepare for this.

       Now that he and Li Zhentai had left one after another, Li Zhenran was a bit distracted. The development of e-commerce had slowed down a little, but it should be the next big thing for Yunlin.

       If he could go to work at Luo Fei, you would definitely come into contact with a lot of e-commerce industries, maybe he could point out a path for his future development, and he could have the opportunity to establish some personal connections.

       With this idea in mind, Li Zhenruo went to Luo Fei’s company for an interview.

       As a result, the big boss gave him an interview in person. Luo Fei sat behind the big desk, glanced at him, and said, “Okay, come and be my assistant.”

       “Huh?” Li Zhenruo was stunned.

       “Don’t want to?” Luo Fei asked him.

       Li Zhenruo said, “I think it is more suitable for me to start from the grassroots level, even if I have to look after the warehouse, it’s fine.”

       Luo Fei heard the words and said, “No need, Fourth Young Master Li.”

       It had been a long time since anyone called him that, Li Zhenruo looked at Luo Fei, “Did xiao Feng complaint to you or did Li Zhenran complaint to you?”

       Luo Fei said, “Junyuan complaint to me.”

       Li Zhenruo nodded, then approached Luo Fei suspiciously and asked, “What exactly is your relationship with my master and the others?”

       Luo Fei said calmly, “I’m Junyuan’s lover, don’t you know that?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “I know, but as far as I know, xiao Feng isn’t a human at all, right? What about you?”

       Luo Fei smiled, “You care so much about your boss’s privacy?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “I haven’t worked for anyone else before, and I thought that since I was working for someone else now, I had to find out what my boss might like, right?”

       Luo Fei said with a smile, “Then you don’t have to worry about it, you just need to know that what I like is Feng Junyuan.”

       Li Zhenruo heard the words, and nodded, “I’ll remember.”

       Luo Fei said, “When can you go to work?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Anytime.”

       Luo Fei said to him, “Okay, the company provides accommodation and food, you can start working today and move into the company dormitory in the afternoon.”

       “Huh?” Li Zhenruo was a little surprised, but then quickly realized that he had been living with Feng Junyuan until now, and his boss must be unhappy.

       Luo Fei opened the drawer, took out a key and threw it at him. The key was wrapped in a small note with the address and house number written on it.

       “Special privileges, one set of an independent dormitory, you live alone,” Luo Fei looked at him, “How’s that? Is it convenient to move?”

       Li Zhenruo took the key and shook it, “You’re not going to deduct the rent from my salary, are you?”

       Luo Fei said, “No.”

       Li Zhenruo suddenly smiled and said, “Then it’s not a problem.”

The author has something to say:

I have read all the opinions of xiao shou, and after thinking about it carefully, maybe compared to two men struggling with hundreds of thousands of words about love or not, readers of Danmei may prefer the love story of a real man struggling in the battle, career, cultivation and fighting monsters in these plots, I won’t say whether I like it or not. But it’s true that I’m not good at writing those plots. I’ll finish filling the hole in the secret love story after this one is over, and I’ll be careful about starting a longer story in the future.

And in order to prevent you from saying that I ended it casually, this article is still not finished today一

       That night, Li Zhenruo really dreamt that he was spanking Li Zhenran’s ass.

       It was not just like taking off his pants and slapping a few times with the palm of his hand. But in a dimly lit room, as if to enforce the house rule, he made Li Zhenran lie on his back on a bench with his trousers down to reveal his firm and shiny buttocks, and then he took a long whip. He swung it in the air and made a whistling sound, and then aimed the whip heavily at Li Zhenran.

       At the same time as the whip was struck, Li Zhenruo also woke up. He sat up abruptly from the bed, pulled the quilt away with a dark face and glanced at himself.

       Next to him, Feng Junyuan turned over and asked vaguely, “What’s wrong?”

       Li Zhenruo said softly, “It’s okay, you can continue to sleep.”

       Having this strange dream didn’t make him feel any better, but Li Zhenruo thought that Xia Hongshen was right, why should he punish himself at this time? Isn’t Li Zhenran the one who should be punished?

       It was raining outside, probably since last night. The rain dripped on the tiles of the old house, ticking everywhere, and the air was filled with damp and cold smells.

       It was almost dawn, and Li Zhenruo felt that he was wide awake and no longer drowsy.

       He began to seriously consider what he should do next if Shen Luming really wasn’t going to take his body back.

       Of course, he couldn’t just stick to Xia Hongshen and the others like that. Not to mention that his master was poor as hell himself and had such a big family.

       So he had to continue his cultivation training and had to go to work to earn money. It was best to save enough capital first and then develop slowly, he was still very young, wasn’t he?

       Before he knew it, it was dawn. Li Zhenruo saw that Feng Junyuan was still sleeping soundly next to him, and sat on the bed without moving.

       After a while, someone knocked lightly on the door outside.

       Li Zhenruo got out of bed and went to open the door. He saw Song Jun standing at the door, and whispered to him, “Someone is looking for you.”

       “Looking for me?” Li Zhenruo heard the words and looked into the corridor. In fact, his first reaction was that Li Zhenran came to him.

       Song Jun shook his head and said to him, “This way.” Then he motioned for Li Zhenruo to follow him.

       Li Zhenruo then followed Song Jun through the corridor and into his and Xia Hongshen’s room across the hall.

       The room was very warm, Xia Hongshen lay lazily on the bed and did not want to get up.

       Song Jun went to the window and lifted the curtain, asking Li Zhenruo to look through.

       Li Zhenruo approached and saw a man standing on the opposite side of the path downstairs. The man was wearing a black suit, wrapped in a long black trench coat, holding an umbrella in his hand, and he was slender.

       Song Jun whispered, “I saw him when I woke up in the morning. I don’t know when he came.”

       Although his face was covered by an umbrella, Li Zhenruo could recognize that it was Li Zhenran.

       Because it was raining a bit heavily, half of Li Zhenran’s sleeves were already wet by the rain, and the legs of his trousers were also wetly wrapped around his legs.

       Song Jun said, “Bitter meat plan¹the trick of injuring oneself to gain the enemy’s confidence.”

       Li Zhenruo couldn’t help laughing when he heard the words.

       Xia Hongshen was lying on the bed and said in a muffled voice, “Come here, apprentice.”

       “Master,” Li Zhenruo went to Xia Hongshen’s bedside well-mannerly.

       Xia Hongshen stretched out his finger and pointed at him, “I told you, spank him, if not, slap his face, let him suffer the lesson he deserves.”

       “But Master,” Li Zhenruo said, “The problem between me and him is not something that can be solved by punishing him. The biggest problem between us now was about trust. I don’t doubt that he loves me, I just doubt that every word he says to me is true.”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Then teach him enough lessons so that he will never dare to lie to you again.”

       Li Zhenruo was quiet for a while, then stood up and went back to the window, looking at Li Zhenran downstairs.

       Song Jun went out to wash in the water room.

       Li Zhenruo took his mobile phone and called Li Zhenran.

       The call was quickly connected, and the receiver was full of background sounds of raindrops falling on the ground. Li Zhenran said, “Zhenruo?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “What are you doing here?”

       When he heard this, Li Zhenran raised his head and looked towards the window on the second floor, and saw Li Zhenruo who was standing by the window on the phone.

       His deep voice came through the receiver, “Did you go to see the person surnamed Shen?”

       Li Zhenruo said blankly, “Are you monitoring me?”

       Li Zhenran said to him, “I  said I had someone watching him.”

       Li Zhenruo was silent for a while and replied, “Yes, I went to see him.”

       “Why do you want to see him?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “I was going to return my body to him.”

       Li Zhenran’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and even through the rainy sky, Li Zhenruo could still see clearly.

       “Have you made up your mind?” Li Zhenran asked him.

       “Well,” Li Zhenruo said, “I’ve thought about it, and we’re waiting for the right moment. I’ll give my body back to him, then I’ll go to the Naihe Bridge and drink a bowl of Granny Meng’s soup and forget about you when I go to my next life.²Naihe Bridge is a place where people must pass through reincarnation in Chinese folk mythology. There will be an elderly female deity called Old lady Meng by the Naihe Bridge who will give each ghost a bowl of soup to forget the memory of the past life“

       Li Zhenran said, “I don’t agree.”

       Li Zhenruo breathed out slowly, “You can’t control everything, right? Things have always gotten out of hand once or twice, like when Li Zhentai got someone to kill me, or when I chose to leave you now. You go to all the trouble to calculate, and maybe the result you get in the end won’t be the one you want.”

       “Zhenruo—”

       Li Zhenruo didn’t listen to him and chose to hang up the phone.

       Li Zhenran still held the phone to his ear, looked up at him and didn’t leave.

       Li Zhenruo closed the curtain silently, then turned to Xia Hongshen and said, “I want to put on a show for Li Zhenran to watch.”

       Xia Hongshen sat beside the bed and yawned.

       Li Zhenruo said, “I want to trick Li Zhenran into thinking that I have returned my body to Shen Luming.”

       At this time, Song Jun happened to come in from outside, and after hearing Li Zhenruo’s words, he couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s so cruel.”

       Li Zhenruo was a little exasperated, “I was much more gentle with him than he was with me.”

       Xia Hongshen said to Song Jun, “Let them toss and turn, it’s none of your business.”

       Song Jun nodded hurriedly and silently went to pack up the things he needed for today’s class.

       Xia Hongshen said, “If you really fooled him, he will definitely suffer.”

       “Master,” Li Zhenruo said, “You may think I’m good for nothing if I say it. The reason why I went to Shen Luming last night and offered to return my body to him was that I was beginning to feel scared of Li Zhenran and I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.”

       Xia Hongshen then asked him, “Have you calmed down now?”

       Li Zhenruo nodded, “I thought about it for a long time. If I continue to maintain my fear and distrust of him, then we will definitely have no way to go on.”

       Song Jun couldn’t help but ask, “Then do you still want to continue to be with him?”

       Li Zhenruo was silent for a moment and said, “If I’m not afraid anymore.”

       Xia Hongshen got out of bed wearing a piece of clothing, “Fear is because you are not strong enough.”

       Li Zhenruo looked at him.

       Xia Hongshen said, “In every sense, you are not strong enough.”

       Li Zhenruo couldn’t help looking back at the window, through the curtains, he didn’t know if Li Zhenran was still there, but Xia Hongshen was right, he was not strong enough, so he feared the other person.

       In this relationship, he was just putting himself in the position of the weaker one, but who loved whom more and who was more afraid of whose departure?

       Suddenly, he was a little glad that Shen Luming had rejected him last night when he was at his most impulsive, otherwise when he really stepped on the Naihe Bridge, would he not be able to help regret it.

       Li Zhenran didn’t stay at the school building for too long, because there was a meeting in Yunlin in the morning.

       Yunlin’s recent conferences had continued, mainly due to the adjustment of the upper management and the large-scale personnel changes after Li Zhenran took over.

       However, during today’s meeting, everyone could see that Li Zhenran was not in high spirits.

       Li Zhenzi sat next to him and occasionally glanced up at Li Zhenran, seeing him sitting in a large office chair, leaning back, elbows propped up on the armrest, holding a pen in one hand, his gaze falling on the information in front of him, but his expression seemed inattentive.

       After the speaker reported the content, he fell silent and waited for Li Zhenran’s opinion.

       Li Zhenran didn’t speak for a while.

       Li Zhenzi put his hand to his mouth and coughed softly.

       Li Zhenran then raised his head and said, “Continue.”

       So the next person went on to report.

       Suddenly, Li Zhenran’s cell phone rang, and the person preparing to report stopped again.

       Li Zhenran answered the phone in front of the entire conference room. After listening to the person on the other side with a blank face, he only said coldly, “Keep an eye on him.” Then he hung up the phone and threw it on the table to let them continue.

       At the end of the meeting, Li Zhenran directly picked up the stack of documents in front of him and walked out.

       Li Zhenzi was pulled by a department manager and said a few words, and then he hurriedly followed Li Zhenran’s office. When he wanted to knock on the door to go in, he heard that there seemed to be a phone call inside.

       He put his head on the door and wanted to eavesdrop. Hua Yibang looked a little embarrassed and said, “This is not quite appropriate, is it?”

       “Shh—” Li Zhenzi put his index finger on his lips.

       It was a pity that the door was well soundproofed. Li Zhenzi eavesdropped for a long time and couldn’t hear anything.

       Suddenly, Li Zhenran pulled the door open from the inside.

       Li Zhenzi was startled, stood up straight and pretended to be knocking on the door.

       Li Zhenran ignored him and said directly to Hua Yibang, “I have to go out for something.”

       Hua Yibang heard the words, “Then I will ask the driver to prepare the car.”

       Li Zhenran said, “No, I’ll drive by myself.” He put on his jacket and walked outside.

       Li Zhenzi was still limping, but he tried his best to catch up and asked, “Second brother, where are you going?”

       Li Zhenran pressed the elevator and told him, “It’s none of your business.”

       The elevator was on the twenty-third floor, and the elevator door opened quickly.

       Li Zhenzi followed Li Zhenran into the elevator, “What’s wrong? I didn’t see your cat last night, did it run away from home?”

       Li Zhenran ignored him. When the elevator went down to the basement floor, and the doors opened, Li Zhenzhi was about to follow him out, and Li Zhenran suddenly turned around and punched Li Zhenzi in the lower abdomen and said, “Don’t follow me.”

       Li Zhenzi bent down from the pain groaned and said, “Do you have to be that ruthless…”

       Li Zhenran received a call from the person he arranged beside Shen Luming, telling him that Li Zhenruo went to Shen Luming again, and this time it was very clear that he would return his body to Shen Luming.

       On the way, Li Zhenran drove furiously and ran two red lights. He didn’t know if the so-called handing over the body was that simple, but he knew that Li Zhenruo’s so-called master didn’t seem to be that simple.

       Having seen a cat become a human, he dare not say anything in the world was impossible.

       After driving the car to the school and parked on the side of the road, Li Zhenran got out of the car and ran into the adjacent teaching building, anxiously waiting for the elevator to sit on the top floor of the teaching building, then turned to the stairs and ran to the roof.

       Li Zhenran suddenly pushed open the roof door and saw a person standing outside while the other two were lying on the ground.

       It was still raining, and everyone on the rooftop was soaked by the rain.

       Li Zhenran walked in the direction where Li Zhenruo was lying.

       Xia Hongshen, who was standing beside him, said to him, “You are late, he has already returned his body.”

       Li Zhenran paused after hearing the words and asked, “What about him?”

       Xia Hongshen looked at the sky, “A wisp of a soul, it should have been reincarnated long ago.”

       As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhenruo on the ground shrank his limbs and turned back into a cat, but still lay unconscious.

       Inside the university building classroom, the students were quietly studying for their evening classes. A girl sitting in the back row stretched and stood up to go to the toilet. She had just walked to the back door of the classroom when she saw a cat looking inside.

       The girl squatted down in amazement and reached out to touch the cat’s head.

       Li Zhenruo raised his head and glanced at the girl. When he saw that her nails were clean and she was cute, he held back and didn’t avoid it. He continued to look inside while he let her touch the top of his head.

       “Huh?” The girl noticed the phone hanging around his neck and reached out to get it.

       Li Zhenruo retreated this time, dodged to the side, and ran into the classroom at the same time since he had already found the person he was looking for.

       Shen Luming was attending the evening self-study, and the girl sitting next to him was his girlfriend. The classroom was quietly filled with students, and at first, except for the girl who went to the toilet, everyone lowered their heads and studied hard, so no one noticed a cat running in.

       Then all of the sudden, Shen Luming stood up abruptly.

       His table and chair rattled, and all the people in the classroom looked in his direction. His girlfriend was even more startled and reached out to pull the hem of his clothes, asking, “What’s wrong?”

       Shen Luming didn’t answer and turned to look at the passage leading to him from the back of the classroom.

       Li Zhenruo stopped halfway to look at him.

       The others were also baffled, they followed him and saw the cat sneaking in.

       One person and one cat began to look at each other in silence for a long time, the kind of heart-warming attraction to each other. If Li Zhenruo didn’t know what was going on, he would definitely suspect that he had fell in love with this person at first sight.

       Shen Luming was more at a loss. He looked at the cat standing in the corridor for a long time, and said to his girlfriend, “I’m going out for a while.”

       The girl asked him strangely, “Why is this ……”

       Shen Luming didn’t answer her, and asked the people sitting outside to get out of the way, and walked out by himself until he stood in front of Li Zhenruo, lowered his head and asked him, “Are you here to find me?”

       Li Zhenruo didn’t say anything, just turned around and walked outside, he knew that Shen Luming would definitely follow.

       Then Shen Luming’s girlfriend stared dumbfoundedly as her boyfriend followed a cat halfway through his self-study session.

       Li Zhenruo walked with Shen Luming towards the secluded path. Behind the dark teaching building where no one was there, Li Zhenruo took light steps, stretched out the fluff of his hands and feet, and turned into a young man.

       Shen Luming stood there and looked at him, seemingly surprised and seemingly taking it as a matter of course that this was how it should be.

       “Are we related in some way?” Shen Luming asked.

       Li Zhenruo nodded, “Do you remember your past?”

       Shen Luming looked puzzled, “My past?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Someone told me that my current body belongs to you.”

       Shen Luming froze in place and didn’t respond. After a while, he said, “You mean you, or the cat?”

       “Both,” Li Zhenruo said, “I am the cat.”

       Shen Luming asked, “Am I a cat?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “I don’t know, you should be a cat.”

       Shen Luming sounded at loss, “But I’m a person, I’m not a cat.”

       He was afraid that only when Shen Luming’s memory was complete would they be able to know how everything came to be the way it was now.

       He didn’t know what Shen Luming was thinking, but it could be seen that Shen Luming wanted to get close to Li Zhenruo because he felt a strange attraction, but had no intention of doing anything to Li Zhenruo.

       “I was injured and lost my memory before going to college, and I don’t remember anything from before,” Shen Luming said.

       Li Zhenruo thought for a while, “Are you a sophomore this year?”

       Shen Luming nodded.

       Yes, the time when Shen Luming lost his memory was almost exactly when Li Zhenruo had just turned into a kitten and was born from the mother cat’s belly. Maybe the body that was supposed to be Shen Luming’s had been taken over by him, and Shen Luming was not the original Shen Luming?

       Li Zhenruo was a little confused.

       Shen Luming asked him at this time, “Why did you come to me? I thought you were avoiding me.”

       For Li Zhenruo, Shen Luming had always been a thorn in his heart, even if Li Zhenran really tricked Shen Luming to go abroad, it did not mean that Shen Luming would never come back. Even if Shen Luming died, as long as his soul was still there, Li Zhenruo would have to return his body to him one day.

       In fact, even if Li Zhenran was not involved, Li Zhenruo thought that he should find Shen Luming to really solve this problem. But now, it was just a matter of getting him to make up his mind sooner.

       “I’ll give you this body back, do you want it?” Li Zhenruo asked tentatively.

       Shen Luming was stunned by his question, and hesitantly said, “I don’t want to be a cat.”

       Li Zhenruo was also stunned. He had been worried that Shen Luming would take the initiative to take his body back, but he didn’t expect that Shen Luming would dislike the deal.

       When he saw Li Zhenruo’s reaction, Shen Luming quickly explained, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that, I mean you are doing a good job as a cat, I think I may not be suitable for being a cat, I am living a good life now.”

       Li Zhenruo thought of the girl in the classroom, “Do you have a girlfriend?”

       Shen Luming nodded, “The college recently had an exchange to study abroad, and I wanted to go out with her.”

       “But that’s—” Li Zhenruo stopped in the middle of his sentence. He wanted to say that it was deliberately arranged by someone, but so what if it was deliberately arranged? Now it seemed to be a good opportunity for Shen Luming.

       So Li Zhenruo didn’t finish the rest of his sentence, and could only say, “You can think about it again, and if there is anything you need, you can tell me.”

       Shen Luming looked at the phone hanging around his neck, “Can you give me your contact information?”

       “Of course,” Li Zhenruo exchanged mobile phone numbers with him.

       Shen Luming said, “Although I’m also curious about what’s going on, I’m pretty sure now that I’m satisfied with my own life, and I’ll get in touch with you if I really want to.”

       Li Zhenruo nodded.

       At this time, a girl’s shout came from a distance, “Shen Luming!”

       Shen Luming said, “My girlfriend is looking for me, I’ll go first.”

       Li Zhenruo replied, “Okay.” Then he saw Shen Luming turn around and left in a hurry.

       After Shen Luming walked away and only Li Zhenruo was left. He looked up at the dense bushes and said, “Master, you can come out.”

       Xia Hongshen stood on the branch, folded his arms over his chest, and stuck his head out to look at him, “You come up.”

       Li Zhenruo looked at the tall and straight tree trunk and chose to change into a cat to climb up. As a result, when he finally climbed to Xia Hongshen’s side, he was slapped down by him.

       “Good for nothing,” Xia Hongshen scolded.

       At night, only some pairs of lovers were left by the school lotus pond. Xia Hongshen and Li Zhenruo occupied a bench and watched the lotus leaves that were gradually starting to wither by the roadside light.

       Xia Hongshen said, “It’s not bad, being able to detect my traces.”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Master, your spiritual power fluctuates so obviously, how could I not notice it.”

       Xia Hongshen looked ahead, “Why do you want to return your body to him?”

       Li Zhenruo didn’t answer directly, but asked, “Master, if one day you found out that Song Jun had lied to you about many things, said he was doing it for your own good, but he wouldn’t let you know anything, and had once watched you get hurt by others, would you hate him and leave him?”

       “No,” Xia Hongshen replied without even thinking about it.

       He answered so quickly that it took a moment for Li Zhenruo to come back to his senses and asked him, “Can you not care about all this?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “I have been through too long a life, and he has always been by my side. All this is nothing to our long life.”

       “It’s nothing? Just forget about it? There’s no need to even be angry?” Li Zhenruo asked one after another.

       Xia Hongshen said to him, “You can spank him.”

       “…… What if the spanking doesn’t work?”

       “Hit again.”

       Li Zhenruo felt that he made no sense.

       Xia Hongshen said softly, “He belongs to me. Even if he betrays me, I will only find him and punish him severely, not punish myself.”

       Li Zhenruo was a little startled.

       Xia Hongshen asked him, “Lost your love, huh?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Master, it really feels strange to discuss this kind of issue with you.”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Then let’s not talk about that, and try to see how your abilities are now.”

       After he said that, Xia Hongshen raised his hand, and out of thin air, a small rat fell to the ground and darted into the grass, “Go, catch it, or you won’t be allowed to rest at night.”

       “Master!” Li Zhenruo complained, but still stood up and chased the little mouse. He didn’t need to look, anyway, it was right to run to the place where he heard the girl scream.

       Just after 11 pm, the yellow-and-white Garfield stepped on the wooden stairs and slowly climbed up the second floor of the old dormitory building with a small mouse in his mouth.

       Xia Hongshen stood at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor and looked at him. With a flick of his finger, the rat turned into a ball of air. He said, “Pass, come back to sleep.”

       Li Zhenruo had just gone up when he was picked up and rubbed by Xi Anling, “Little Gaffey!”

       Song Jun came out of the room with a bag of dried fish in his hand. He leaned in to feed Li Zhenruo, but Xia Hongshen grabbed his hand and said, “Mine.”

       Li Zhenruo was surrounded by a group of them and was suddenly a little stressed.

       Long Xing touched his head and asked, “Where’s Erhuang? Is it okay?”

       Li Zhenruo nodded.

       Song Jun quietly handed the dried fish to Feng Junyuan from behind, and Feng Junyuan directly stuffed the dried fish into Li Zhenruo’s mouth while Xia Hongshen was not paying attention.

       Li Zhenruo had no appetite, and could not bear to disappoint their kindness, so he raised his paws to cover his mouth and chewed the dried small fish.

       After a while, he heard Xia Hongshen say, “Do you think I can’t smell it?”

       Li Zhenruo hurriedly closed his mouth and chewed something, not daring to open it.

The author has something to say:

Of course it’s HE¹Happy Ending, the second brother still loves Zhenruo

The original persona of Zhenruo was that he was young, proud, and indulgent. He has certain abilities, but he is hated by others without knowing it. It seems that many readers feel that Zhenruo is not strong enough and is feminine, but why is being talented in business must be someone who was scheming or a deep and steady man? His business talent is brought into play because he has a strong father

In fact, I was also very puzzled by Perfection serialization. Isn’t it the acting that the actor requires? In reality, there are movie stars who are also unsociable geeks. Why should one characterize a person based on his professional performance? What kind of character should he be? He is not a Film Emperor/business elite character…

Notes:
O-ho, I’m really excited whenever author talking about some mini Perfection behind the scenes~

       Li Zhenruo’s heart trembled.

       He let go of the telephone he had already touched, stood up and walked around to the desk. He stood with his back against the big desk, and said, “I’m looking for a photo, a photo of Zhao Yuqiong and the man who abandoned her.”

       Li Zhenran stood by the door and didn’t move. He said, “The photo is with Li Zhentai, don’t you remember?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Is there only one photo? If I were Sun He, something that important would definitely be re-photographed and kept. I wouldn’t have just handed it over and lost it.”

       “Sun He?” Li Zhenran’s tone was a little surprised.

       The room was still shrouded in darkness, especially when looking from Li Zhenruo to Li Zhenran’s direction, he could only see the outline of a person, but not the expression of the person.

       Li Zhenruo said, “Sun He told me that he came to you.”

       Li Zhenran heard the words and did not speak.

       Li Zhenruo took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and didn’t want to be affected by the other party’s emotions.

       In the end, Li Zhenran seemed to sigh and said, “Are you going to test me like this? Sun He can’t tell you this, because I know where Sun He is.”

       Li Zhenruo squeezed the edge of the desk tightly, “Sun He really came to you?”

       Li Zhenran said, “Sun He came to me. He asked me for money and said he would give me a photo. He said that I would definitely be interested in that photo. I said yes to him, and I gave him the money.”

       Li Zhenruo gritted his teeth, “So you have seen that photo in the first place?”

       Li Zhenran said unhurriedly, “Sun He gave me the photo, and I felt that things were not so simple. So I asked people to keep an eye on him. It turned out that he had tasted the sweetness, and turned around and contacted Li Zhentai again.”

       Li Zhenruo said, “You knew he had gone to contact Li Zhentai, but you didn’t stop him.”

       Li Zhenran was quiet for a while and admitted, “I want to see how Li Zhentai will react.”

       Li Zhenruo took a deep breath and said, “You said you wanted to see it, but you knew that Li Zhentai would never let go of this opportunity to deal with me, so while he drove me out and found someone to kill me, you kept watching from the sidelines.”

       Li Zhenran suddenly approached Li Zhenruo slowly, his footsteps were particularly loud in the darkness until he stopped in front of Li Zhenruo and reached out to touch Li Zhenruo’s face.

       His palms were warm and dry as always, but Li Zhenruo shivered for no reason.

       Li Zhenran said softly, “I didn’t know he would kill you, I was surprised and thought he was too stupid. I thought he would make Li Jianglin angry by killing you, so he would investigate this matter thoroughly, but instead, I didn’t expect it to spur Li Jianglin to give up and drop the matter.”

       Li Zhenruo felt Li Zhenran’s gentle touch and said, “You knew the truth from the beginning, but you pretended not to know anything and played me for a fool.”

       Li Zhenran said, “I said it was Li Zhentai who did it, I didn’t lie to you.”

       By now Li Zhenran still said that he didn’t lie to him. Li Zhenruo was suddenly very angry, his throat was dry and sore. He raised his head and said, “You saw the photo, then what? Where is Sun He? What’s going on in Luo Yunguang’s place?”

       Li Zhenran sighed lightly, “I didn’t think it was simple. The first thing I did was to go to Luo Yunguang and learn the truth from him. At the same time, in order to prevent Sun He from talking nonsense, I kept having people looking for him, forcing him to leave the place and not dare to come back.”

       Li Zhenruo said, “So that time later, when you took me to Luo Yunguang, you had already conspired to put on a show with him for me?”

       Li Zhenran kissed his forehead, “What he said is the truth. I asked him to tell you everything you want to know.”

       Li Zhenruo was a little dazed, “Then what he said to Li Zhentai was a deception?”

       Li Zhenran said, “Yes, I asked him to say that to Li Zhentai. I will not give Li Zhentai the opportunity to seize my weakness and threaten me back, and at the same time keep him from giving up and want to continue to struggle. That way, we can send him to his death in name only.”

       He whispered these words close to Li Zhenruo’s ear, and his airy voice burrowed into his ear, like a wet and cold insect.

       Li Zhenruo felt that he could no longer control his emotions, he raised his hand to push Li Zhenran away and wanted to stay away from him. But when he turned around, he was hugged by Li Zhenran from behind. Li Zhenran’s arms were tightly wrapped around his waist, no matter how hard he struggled, Li Zhenran would not let go. He then said in his ear, “Zhenruo, listen, I do love you. I only know the truth from the beginning to the end, I have not harmed you.”

       Li Zhenruo said, “But you lied to me.”

       Li Zhenran reached out to turn his face and said in a low voice, “Didn’t you also lie to me? In the days when I doubted your identity, I hoped you were not Li Zhenruo more than once, but I still couldn’t avoid it. After twenty years of being brothers, what kind of relationship do we had? How do you want me to invest myself to you? If you and I swap identities, can you swear you won’t do the same thing?”

       Li Zhenruo gasped and became emotional, “You’re right! I can’t swear that you don’t owe me anything, you’re just watching me die, and I might do the same thing! But so what? You lied to me for so long, and now how dare I believe that you love me?”

       Li Zhenran said, “Ask your own heart, can’t you feel that I love you?”

       Li Zhenruo tried his best to calm his breath, “From the time you knew I was Li Zhenruo, you were planning how to completely take yourself out of this matter, right? I felt very strange before, at that time it was obvious I deceived you first and left home afterwards, yet you took the initiative to come to me and ask for peace because you had already planned what was to follow, didn’t you?”

       Li Zhenran didn’t answer, in Li Zhenruo’s view, he acquiesced.

       At that time, rather than being angry at being deceived, Li Zhenran began to think about how to present the truth to Li Zhenruo. After hesitating, he finally decided to cover up all the facts related to him, and only let him know about Li Zhentai. However, what was presented to Li Zhenruo in this way was almost the complete truth.

       Anger was the disguise. After Li Zhenruo ran away from home, Li Zhenran decided to stop the disguised anger and chose to bow to Li Zhenruo.

       Li Zhenruo said, “Since you chose to hide from me, why did you let me see Li Zhentai alone? You should have watched me and not let me have the chance to be alone with him.”

       Li Zhenran heard the words and said, “So it was Li Zhentai. I let you see him alone because he didn’t know that I was involved in this matter from beginning to end. I want you to watch him die and complete your revenge. I didn’t think he’d say anything to you that would make you start to suspect me.”

       “No,” Li Zhenruo shook his head, “It’s not that I doubt you, it’s just I doubt that someone else was involved behind this affair.”

       Li Zhenran asked him, “So do you hate me?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Let go of me first.”

       Li Zhenran let go of his hand and helped Li Zhenruo fix the collar that had come loose in the tugging.

       Li Zhenruo said, “I don’t hate you, I’m just a little afraid of you. If I continue to be with you, I will never be able to get rid of doubts and fears. I don’t know which of your words is true and which is false. Even now, I began to suspect that the truth is not so simple, there is a bigger situation behind it, and I don’t know it even if I’m in it.”

       “Zhenruo,” Li Zhenran reached out to touch his face.

       Li Zhenruo turned his head to avoid it. He walked towards the door of the office, and finally stopped by the door. He reached out and grabbed the collar around his neck and ripped it off. The chain buckle behind the collar was pulled off, and a bloodstain was also strangled on the back of the neck.

       “This collar,” Li Zhenruo said, “I know it has a tracker, but I never took it off. I thought it was more of a memory of the past between us, and it always lost its practical significance, but now I’m not so sure anymore. I’m not your cat, and you can’t tie me up.”

       After he said that, he threw the collar in the direction of Li Zhenran.

       The collar hit Li Zhenran’s chest and then landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

       Li Zhenruo opened the door and walked out, while Li Zhenran crouched down to pick up the collar slowly with his hands.

       When he came out of Li Zhenran’s office, Li Zhenruo realised that it was still dark outside in the corridor. He groped for the direction of the elevator. But after two steps he remembered that the power had gone out and the lift had naturally stopped, so he turned around and groped in the direction of the stairwell.

       The staircase was so pitch black and there was no light at all coming in.

       He felt that his head was spinning, so he changed back to the shape of a cat, and his vision suddenly became clear before running downstairs. He just kept running out of Yunlin’s building, Li Zhenruo ran all the way forward on the brightly lit street.

       The cold wind of the night kept blowing through his body, and his aching mind was gradually clearing up. When he stopped and turned around, Yunlin’s building had disappeared from sight.

       He slowed his pace and raised his head like many arrogant cats.

       When he was still a complete human, love was just a spice of life for him. He believed that the goal of life as a man should be a career; after losing his life, his goal in life was to find his murderer and to take revenge; when he got his revenge, he wanted to live longer to accompany Li Zhenran. He admitted that he was a little addicted to love and could not extricate himself from it. He understood the taste of love beyond the sky, and other things seemed less important.

       Until now.

       When he was standing at the intersection and waiting for the red light, several people around him were looking at him. Li Zhenruo’s mobile phone was put on a rope by him, so it could be hung around his neck when he turned into a cat.

       A young man seemed to have followed him for a while, and when he saw him alone as a cat, he knelt down and pretended to pet his head while trying to get the phone around his neck.

       Li Zhenruo bit his hand mercilessly then ran into the crowd and ran away.

       When he saw the red light turn green and the pedestrians hurrying forward, Li Zhenruo thought to himself, should his story be over now? Rather than being a cat, he still wanted to be a complete person.

       He had already fulfilled his wish with this body, so it was better to return the body to the original owner now and to reincarnate as soon as possible. He didn’t need an overly prominent family, even if he was a child of a poor man, to work step by step for what he wanted was the best life.

The author has something to say:

I’ve got a shield in front of me, come on, attack me, I’ll pretend I didn’t see it

Notes:
Can you trust someone again after being deceived so bad that you begin to question everything? I feel like I just witnessed something real dark… about Zhenran… and how calculative he is…
Also I just read an NU comment saying that the people here are treating the cat so bad. I agree. But don’t call PETA please (ಥ_ಥ)
