Chapter 20 I want to go out
Chen Shuo sat on the computer chair and breathed a sigh of relief. After sitting staring at the computer screen for a long time, he felt that he should put it on. After thinking about it, he opened the door and walked out.
Bai Xiaoqi sat on the sofa a little awkwardly, with the tips of her ears slightly red. When she saw him coming out, she subconsciously raised her head. As soon as her eyes met, she quickly lowered her head again.
Chen Shuo looked at her, looked down, glanced at her chest, and asked, "You're wearing it, right?"
"Um..."
Bai Xiaoqi responded softly.
"Just put it on. How about it? Is the size suitable?"
"..."
Bai Xiaoqi didn't know how to answer this, so she could only remain silent and glanced down slightly. It was actually quite appropriate.
But what she is concerned about now is why this person knows his own size.
There were so many women walking around in the video just now, and she could clearly see that everyone wore different sizes.
In other words, this thing may be big or small.
But the one he bought for himself was the right size.
She wanted to ask the reason, but she was inexplicably hesitant to ask.
She eats his food, lives in his food, uses his food, and even the clothes she wears are bought by him. Once she asks for a reason that she cannot accept, she doesn't know what to do.
Tickle him with your hands?
Don't mention scratching him.
She even felt like she couldn't even get angry at him,
On the fifty-second day after entering human society, and the seventh day after she transformed from a cat into a human, she suddenly felt the helplessness of being dependent on others.
I also have a deep understanding of what it means to be short-tongued and soft-handed.
Seeing her lowering her head and saying nothing, Chen Shuo thought for a moment and explained: "You don't have to feel shy or anything. All human girls wear this. Since you want to be a human, you must wear this, right?"
"...."
Bai Xiaoqi was silent for a while, then raised her head and said, "I want to go out."
"go out?"
Chen Shuo was stunned, looking at her long, snow-white hair, then at the cat ears on top of her head, and the tip of her tail hidden in the hem of her skirt, and said: "You look like this, with white hair you can barely say that you are...
Wig, but your cat ears are too eye-catching, and..."
As he spoke, Chen Shuo's voice gradually became quieter, and then stopped. He felt that when the cat girl said she wanted to go out, she didn't just want to go out for a walk, but...
"You mean you want to leave my house, or that you want to go back to your mountains, right?"
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoqi lowered her eyes, hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.
At first she thought it was normal to live in this human's home and then use him to integrate into human society.
But after getting along with him for a few days, she realized that it seemed not ordinary.
Although you can convince yourself that you will repay him in the future, how can you repay him?
If you put aside this fig leaf of self-deception, you are just being adopted by him, and there is no difference between cats who are kept as pets by humans.
At the same time, today's events also made her suddenly realize that the status between the two people was actually not equal.
I actually felt from the bottom of my heart that I was a head shorter than him.
She felt that if she continued like this, she would no longer be the king of cats in the mountains, but would completely become a poor adopted kitten.
Maybe one day I was bullied by him, and I could only secretly wipe my tears by myself.
"Do you think you can go back with your appearance? You have ears and a tail. You will be caught as a monster before you even reach the mountains."
"I can put my ears and tail back now."
As she spoke, Bai Xiaoqi shook her head, and a soft light flashed across her head. The cat ears on her head and the tail in her skirt disappeared, leaving only her long hair like glistening white snow.
Seeing this, Chen Shuo was stunned for two seconds, and his expression recovered, "You can take it back, so what if you can take it back, you don't even have an ID card, you can't take a car, a girl walks back on her feet.
How dangerous it is, even if you are special and don’t have to worry about any danger, but what do you eat and where do you sleep at night?”
"I..."
Bai Xiaoqi opened her mouth and retorted in a low voice: "I can find any place to sleep at night."
"What about your meal? Do you expect kind people to give you some cat food? Give you some canned food? Don't be stupid, do you think you are still a cat now? You are a human being now, and no one in this society will care if there is an extra cat.
Even if you see a stray cat, the most it will do is give you some food and drink.
But having one more homeless person, especially a girl with your appearance, will definitely attract everyone's attention.
Yes, they will give you food, but they will also contact the police to help you find your parents and your family, and investigate your identity. But do you think your identity can withstand investigation? You have no past, you
It just happened for nothing, do you understand?"
"I..."
Bai Xiaoqi opened her mouth, but finally lowered her head weakly. She didn't understand, she didn't know what an ID card was, and she didn't quite know why she was being investigated.
Seeing that she didn't say a word, Chen Shuo wanted to say something, but couldn't help but remained silent. He found that his current mood was not quite right.
I remember that I was reluctant to take in this cat-eared girl at first, but after spending a week together, I seemed to have gotten used to her existence.
As soon as I heard that she was leaving, a feeling of reluctance suddenly arose in my heart, as well as hesitation and loss.
After a long while, he finally said, "Can you tell me why you have such an idea?"
"I, I just feel that I am raised by you, and you give me food and clothing. I don't want to be like this."
Bai Xiaoqi looked towards the balcony. The family on the opposite floor had a big fat cat. The cat had nothing to do every day and often lay on the balcony to bask in the sun. Just like herself, it relied on others to raise it.
"What do you want to do? Be self-reliant?"
"Um."
"Okay, wait a moment."
With that said, Chen Shuo went back to the room, rummaged around, and walked out again with his ID card. He handed it over, "Did you see, this thing is called an ID card, and it is indispensable to human society.
It's a document that proves your identity.
Without this, you would be unable to move after you go out, and you would not even be able to find a job. Without a job, you would have no money. Without money, what would you eat? Where would you live? What would you use?"
Speaking of this, Chen Shuo's voice suddenly became louder, "Come on, tell me now, what do you do to make a living by yourself? Steal or rob?"
"..."
Bai Xiaoqi stared at the square document without saying anything. After a long time, her shoulders slumped.
She doesn't have this thing called an ID card, and she doesn't know how to prove her identity.
And she didn't think she would be able to find a job.
As for stealing and robbing, she had never thought about it. All she could think of was digging through trash cans to find food, or relying on others for help. But what was the difference between relying on others for help?
Seeing this, Chen Shuo sighed lightly, sat down next to her, slowed down his speech, and said slowly: "I don't know how long you have lived in the mountains. Are you like the monsters in the fantasy novels?
You have practiced cultivation in the mountains for hundreds of thousands of years, causing your understanding of human society to still remain in the ancient times.
But this is the 21st century and modern society. If you want to be a human being and integrate into this human society, it is very difficult. Without help from others, let alone integrating, you will not even be able to survive in this society.
You can’t even do basic survival, do you understand?”
Bai Xiaoqi lowered her head and said in a small voice: "Understood."
"You know what the hell, if you understand you wouldn't have this idea of leaving. Do you think I'm doing you a favor by taking you in and giving you food and clothing? Because of this kindness, you feel that you
You are a head shorter than me and your self-esteem is frustrated, so you want to leave?"
"Um."
Seeing her nodding in recognition, Chen Shuo didn't know what to say for a moment. It was inevitable that he would have this kind of mentality when living under someone else's roof. This was perfectly normal.
But it was you who came to ask for shelter in the first place, and now you are the one who wants to leave. Now I have become accustomed to your presence, and even... Have you ever considered my feelings like this?
