13In the evening, I invited Austin to have dinner.Because I didn't have any feelings for him anymore, I didn't pay too much attention to my image. I packed up casually and went to the appointment.From afar, I saw him standing on the roadside.Wearing black casual pants, he was tall and thin. With his hands in his pockets, he bowed his head and kicked the stones on the roadside. His good-looking side face was blurred under the street lamp.The night wind blew his soft hair, full of youth.I knew he was handsome, somehow he looked especially handsome tonight.He seemed to have dressed up specially.I walked over and called his name.Austin raised his head.Then he strode towards me with starry eyes.In the restaurant, I sat opposite Austin.After he got drunk yesterday, I felt uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.Austin didn't say anything either. The atmosphere was very quiet and filled with embarrassment.I cleared my throat and finally opened the topic. "How are

4I was overthinking.Brandon was only looking for me because of work. His assistant was on maternity leave, and I happened to be available. Looking at his business-like expression, I pinched myself hard. I told myself to wake up and not think about those useless things.Brandon was handling a financial dispute case, and the client was a foreman working at a construction site. The boss delayed paying their wages, and the client was unable to provide an explanation to his fellow construction workers. Some radical ones went to his house every day, holding up banners while threatening him. This time, we went there to investigate and collect evidence.On the way, Brandon said to me, "Make sure to be sharp later on. Follow behind me and don't act rashly."I wondered if he was worried about me. As soon as that thought entered my head, I immediately dismissed it. No, I shouldn't be touched at all. He was merely doubting my ability."Okay, Mr. Jones," I replied professionally. However, I

10Brandon asked me what was wrong. I told him he should ask his ex-girlfriend instead. William asked me if I was bullied, but I told him I wasn't and it was my fault for being careless in my work. William patted my hair and said he would take me to eat something nice at night.He wanted to send me home but had to give up because he had to work overtime. I was very happy. I really didn't want to have any more entanglements with him anymore. I had already turned him down countless times, but it was like he didn't understand.However, I didn't expect to see Brandon downstairs. Holding a bag of cat snacks, he said, "I came to see Ginger."That was a very good excuse. I couldn't find it in me to reject him.As soon as I entered the door, Ginger was meowing again. I picked her up, told Brandon to sit, and poured him a glass of water. He played with Ginger for a while and suddenly said, "Noelle, I'm sorry for causing you trouble.""Yeah, it really was a lot of trouble.""I've already

Author: Xiao Qi Zai Zi I became a cat and lived with Christopher Jones, my senior and crush.One day, I accidentally entered the bathroom. Christopher stopped showering and picked me up. "Little dirty cat, stop running away. I'll bathe you too."1After getting into a car accident, I became a white long-haired cat. On campus, people fawned over me every day.Because of my deafness, I was accidentally caught by volunteers and given to the student council president before the holiday.His name was Christopher Jones.He was a very handsome man in our university, with top grades, a good family background, and zero affairs.The girls who wished to win his heart could circle the campus for ten rounds if they were to line up.Surprisingly, I, a beautiful long-haired cat, was accepted by him as a gift from a girl.Other than being deaf in one ear, I looked pretty everywhere, especially my pair of different-colored eyes.The moment I arrived at the male dormitory, I won everyone's a

4The vulnerable human biological clock that could not withstand a single blow fully collapsed. I kept my eyes open in the dark and became increasingly awake."Hello... Christopher, wake up..."Christopher rolled over, and his breathing became long and relaxed.At this time, I thought I should get up and jump around, stepping on Christopher's chest to comfort my annoyed mood.How to describe it?I was feeling half angry, half happy...I began to look forward to seeing myself next week. What if I could go back?I could pursue Christopher as a human being and date him openly.In the darkness, Christopher, still asleep, moved and touched me gently with one hand on my back."Meow!"I rubbed against Christopher's arm, hoping he would stroke my fur again.Christopher woke up and switched on the lights. The small table lamp at the bedside lit up, and the warm yellow light flooded my snow-white fur.Christopher's pajamas were covered with my dander, and I twisted around desperatel
