Chapter 189. A Cat’s Charm
Arc 6 : Sci-fi Rom-com Movie Nightmare
Fang Xiangxiang left for work an hour earlier today.
She didn’t think the proud cat would be willing to enter the cat bag, nor did she want to be looked at strangely by the employees, and she was worried that too many people would scare the cat.
There weren’t many cars on the road at this point, so the journey was smooth, and it didn’t take long for Fang Xiangxiang to get to the company.
There is a special elevator for the upper floors of the company. Fang Xiangxiang took the elevator with the white cat all the way to the floor where He Jin’s office is located.
The elevator door opened, and Fang Xiangxiang saw the white cat walking out gracefully. In just a few days, Fang Xiangxiang felt that this white cat was a little different from ordinary cats.
Its movements are always steady and graceful. Whether it is sitting, lying down, or walking, it has its own style.
If the pet store hadn’t told Fang Xiangxiang that the cat was young and in its prime, she would have even thought that the cat was so stable because it was too old.
At this moment, Fang Xiangxiang had this feeling again. The cat walked in front of her, as if it was very familiar with this place, and Fang Xiangxiang didn’t have to worry at all that it would cause trouble.
Finally, the white cat stopped at the door of He Jin’s office. It was still early, and the door was closed.
The day before, He Jin told Fang Xiangxiang to bring the cat directly to the office, so she swiped her card and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, there was someone in the office. He Jin was sitting behind his desk reading documents. When he heard the door open, he looked up.
Fang Xiangxiang was stunned and asked: “Why are you here so early?”
He Jin said: “I slept here last night.”
Outside He Jin’s office on this floor of the office building, there is a lounge connected to it, which is called a lounge but is actually equivalent to a small suite.
There are rooms, toilets, and even a small kitchen inside, which is the standard configuration apartment.
In the past three years, He Jin was sometimes so busy with work that he often took a break here. Fang Xiangxiang realized that sometimes He Jin might not want to go home and face the cold and lonely home, so he often took a break in the company.
Before that person went missing, whenever He Jin was in Beicheng, he would go home and sleep no matter how busy he was at work.
He Jin turned around and said: “Yesterday I asked the pet store to send some necessary supplies over.”
Fang Xiangxiang found it a little strange. When He Jin was talking, his eyes were on the cat, which made her feel that He Jin seemed to be talking to the cat.
The cat’s reaction was also interesting. It was originally sitting on the sofa, but after hearing what He Jin said, it jumped off the sofa and walked towards the lounge.
Seeing this, He Jin turned around and walked in front to lead the way and open the door. Fang Xiangxiang followed behind and inexplicably felt that she seemed to be a bit unnecessary.
As soon as the door of the lounge opened, Fang Xiangxiang was stunned. She thought the necessary supplies He Jin mentioned were just a cat bed and some cat toys.
Unexpectedly, the entire room was transformed into a cat paradise, with cat climbing frames from floor to ceiling and aerial walkways nailed to the walls for cats to walk on.
All the small ornaments in the room have been moved inside the cabinet to prevent the cat from accidentally breaking the ornaments and getting hurt when moving.
Fang Xiangxiang couldn’t help but ask: “You didn’t stay up all night last night to make these things, did you?”
He Jin glanced at her and said: “I asked someone from the pet store to come and do it.”
“……”
Well, Fang Xiangxiang felt that she was being stupid, but it was not her fault. She didn’t know why, but she always felt that He Jin would do everything personally for the white cat.
Du Yan took a look at the structure inside and had no interest in the cat toys scattered on the ground. He walked directly to the cat climbing frame and grabbed a few to test the feel, then he found the highest position and stayed there with satisfaction.
He Jin checked the time and asked: “It has not eaten yet, has it?”
Fang Xiangxiang nodded: “Yes.”
He Jin said: “There is still some time. I will prepare breakfast for it. You can also go to the restaurant to eat.”
When Fang Xiangxiang was sent out, she looked confused, so what was going on?
The cat she picked up is gone just like that?
***
The WeChat group of Ri’an investment company is particularly lively today.
These financial elites seem to be very smart and capable normally, but they are actually quite gossipy in the group.
For example, the things that are being discussed now came from the high-level management over there.
“He is in a good mood today, colleagues. Come on!”
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? A few days ago, I heard Assistant Li tell me to be careful these days.”
“Maybe this is a cat’s charm?”
“???”
“There is a video.”
The video is a little blurry, and it can be seen that it was taken secretly.
He Jin, the big boss of their company, was reading a document with a serious expression, which was normal. What was abnormal was that there was a white cat squatting on the right side of He Jin.
The cat was very close to He Jin and seemed to be looking down at the document.
One person and one cat seem to be in perfect harmony.
He Jin put down the documents and seemed to want to touch the cat, but the cat looked at him, and he could only put his hand down awkwardly.
At this time, the video was interrupted. It should be that the person recording was preparing to report, so he cut off the secret recording.
The person in the video, after giving instructions on the work, watched his subordinates close the door and then stared at the cat sitting on the table and fell into deep thought.
He Jin felt that he and the cat had an unexpected affinity, and just as Fang Xiangxiang had said before, the doctor recommended pet therapy, and it appeared in his life.
Every time He Jin saw the cat, he would think of that person, so he asked Fang Xiangxiang to bring the cat over and try to get along with it.
He Jin originally thought that it would be troublesome to have an animal in such a busy schedule, so he only planned to let the cat move around in the lounge.
Unexpectedly, the cat was very smart. He had just closed the door and stayed in the office for a short while when he saw it open the door and run out.
He Jin tried to catch the cat back but found that he couldn’t touch it at all.
Plus, this cat is very quiet, usually staying quietly in a corner, not making any sound or movement, so He Jin just let him be.
As a result, things turned out like this. The cat basically sat on the desk as if monitoring his every move.
Then He Jin did not feel uncomfortable at all, but felt more and more relaxed.
During breaks in his work, he only needs to turn his head slightly to see the white cat guarding him, and his heart will instantly become peaceful.
He Jin hadn’t experienced this feeling for a long time. The last time he experienced it was before that person disappeared.
During that time, He Jin was very busy with work and was almost never at home. After not being able to see his Jiujiu for nearly a week, He Jin’s patience reached its limit.
Afterward, under He Jin’s persistent persuasion, the man finally agreed to accompany him to work for a few days at the company.
This is how the two of them interacted during those days. He sat on the sofa doing his own things while He Jin was busy working.
As long as he could look up at the other person from time to time, He Jin would feel at ease and have endless motivation to continue working.
The reminder on the phone rang, and the three minutes of relaxation time limit He Jin had set for himself had passed.
He came back to his senses from his contemplation, and when he raised his eyes, he met those amber pupils.
He Jin always felt that he saw doubt in the other person’s eyes, so he sighed and said: “Maybe it’s because your eyes always remind me of him.”
He raised his hand again and wanted to touch the long fur of the white cat, which felt very good. Even though he had been rejected countless times, He Jin still couldn’t control himself at this time.
The cat reacted as usual, looking straight over with a hint of warning.
He Jin did not plan to give up this time, as he recalled the time he spent with his Jiujiu.
That person was always so cold and didn’t like He Jin’s approach, but when he tried to get close to him, he didn’t show any disgust.
He Jin’s hand finally touched the long fur that was as soft as satin.
The cat narrowed its eyes slightly, still staring straight at him, looking unhappy, but it did not turn around and walk away in reaction.
He Jin finally couldn’t help but smile and said: “You two really look alike, which is good.”
He Jin continued with his busy work, while Du Yan jumped off the desk and walked into the lounge, where he found a comfortable spot on the cat climbing frame and lay down.
Xiao Ba couldn’t help but ask: “So, have you given up your principles and decided to be a pet now?”
Du Yan said: “You are still too superficial in your view of things.”
Xiao Ba was kept in suspense by Du Yan for several days and finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He asked: “So what are your thoughts? Just tell me, okay?”
Now that things are going smoothly, Du Yan is in a good mood, so he patiently answered Xiao Ba’s question: “You need to know one thing, as the Lord of Dreams, He Jin can change the world settings. As long as he insists on believing certain things, some changes will occur.”
He paused and continued: “Some changes I would like to see.”
Xiao Ba understood what Du Yan meant, but was still a little confused: “Is this feasible? He Jin grew up with an atheist education. No matter what, he wouldn’t be so absurd as to think that you are his Jiujiu, right?”
Du Yan said: “As long as there is a chance that he loses his reasoning for a moment, then the impression I have on him in daily life will instantly turn these conjectures into an idea that He Jin firmly believes in.”
In the following month, the two of them maintained this tacit understanding with each other, and the opportunity that Du Yan was waiting for soon came.
Life as a cat is quite boring. Driven by this boredom, Du Yan almost sits beside He Jin every day to accompany him to work. Naturally, he knows He Jin’s work schedule very well.
Today is a celebration party for a large-scale merger and acquisition, and He Jin left the company early.
Du Yan thought he would not be able to see He Jin until the next day, but he did not expect to hear a noise outside late at night.
Du Yan twitched his ears and felt that the footsteps were very familiar. Was it He Jin?
A moment later, He Jin pushed the door open and walked in, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol.
Du Yan sat up and looked at He Jin carefully. There was nothing unusual about his expression. He looked sober and rational.
“I’m back.”
He Jin said hello to the void, then sat down beside the bed.
As expected, he was drunk. Du Yan was very familiar with He Jin’s appearance when he was drunk. On the surface, he didn’t have any obvious characteristics, nor did he act crazy when drunk. He was a very good drinker.
There is only one thing, He Jin becomes particularly clingy after getting drunk. When the two of them lived together, every time He Jin got drunk he would pester Du Yan, and in the end it would end up being a situation where the two of them slept together for a night.
Du Yan was somewhat dissatisfied, so he jumped down and sat in front of He Jin, staring at him silently.
He Jin glanced at Du Yan, suddenly revealed a flattering smile, and said: “Jiujiu, I took a taxi here, not driving a car. Don’t be angry.”
This could explain why He Jin came to the company alone. Perhaps his assistant sent him home, and then he ran away from home on his own.
What surprised Du Yan was that He Jin was so drunk this time that he actually mistook himself for Xie Yan.
Perhaps this sentence turned on some switch, and He Jin’s entire mind began to become confused.
He sat on the bed without turning on the light, wearing a dark outfit, just like his current situation, he was completely silent in the dark sea without sunlight.
Depressed and cold.
In the darkness, He Jin sat with his back to the French window. His face was hidden in the shadows, and only the outline could be seen, not the details.
However, Du Yan is now a cat, and cats’ vision is not affected by light.
He took in all the expressions on He Jin’s face, and he only felt an extremely repressed emotion emanating from He Jin.
He Jin stared at Du Yan blankly, then said: “Jiujiu, you clearly promised me, why did you leave without saying anything?”
Du Yan did not reply, nor did he have the ability to reply.
He Jin waited for a long time but received no answer. He smiled, and that smile was somewhat sarcastic: “Right, you never promised anything, but I selfishly forced you to stay, and maybe you finally couldn’t stand it…”
He raised his hands to cover his eyes, with a bit of self-destruction: “Why no matter how hard I try, no matter how strong I become, I still can’t hold you. As long as you want, you can slip away quietly like a cloud in the sky.”
Du Yan just sat there and listened quietly.
After He Jin finished speaking, he was silent for a long time. Du Yan could even see his shoulders shaking slightly, as if he was suppressing his extremely intense emotions.
After a long time, He Jin finally spoke again: “But, but I don’t want to completely deny everything between us. I would rather believe that you have some compelling reasons.”
He suddenly laughed out loud: “I have had an extremely absurd idea these days, and it just popped up. Before you left, you seemed to have told me that you are not a human being.”
“Jiujiu, if you knew what I was thinking, you would definitely laugh at me and think I’m still the stupid He Jin back then…”
After saying this, He Jin seemed to be drunk, his body swayed slightly, and he suddenly fell back on the bed.
Seeing this, Du Yan was about to jump onto the bed to check on He Jin’s condition, but suddenly a blinding white light pierced his eyes, and then all the bones in his body began to ache violently.
Du Yan was enveloped in the white light, and he felt as if he was being tortured, crushed, and reshaped.
About half an hour later, the white light finally disappeared.
When Du Yan woke up, he was surprised to find that his perspective had changed drastically, becoming no different from that of an ordinary person.
Is that possible?
An idea came to his mind, and he raised his hand.
Sure enough, what appeared before his eyes were no longer furry claws but familiar slender fingers belonging to humans.
Xiao Ba’s voice rang out, with endless admiration: “Du Yan, you are so amazing. I just checked the data, and the world setting has indeed changed. It was originally an ordinary modern technological society, but now that the country has been established, it can be spiritual!”
Du Yan said: “Yes. Shao Lingheng’s bloodline ability is somewhat beyond imagination. I am looking forward to seeing the real him in the subconscious level more and more.”
“Uhh——”
Du Yan heard some painful sounds and looked down to see He Jin covering his head and looking very uncomfortable.
Du Yan was worried that changing the world settings might have an unpredictable impact on He Jin. He was anxious and leaned over to check on He Jin’s condition.
Unexpectedly, He Jin’s eyes opened as soon as he approached.
He Jin looked at the person in front of him, seemingly in disbelief. He blinked and then asked a question.
“Jiujiu, why are you not wearing any clothes?”
