EBE Chapter 147 Little Orange Cat
Chapter 147 Little Orange Cat
Some are born to be embraced by happiness, while others are born to be surrounded by long nights.
When Xiao Hansheng turned ten, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, but the doctor did not explain what it was.
He needs to take medication every day to maintain his health, while his mother is either suicidal or on her way to suicide every day.
Perhaps influenced by her mother, Xiao Hansheng also had suicidal thoughts and developed mild depression.
On Xiao Hansheng's tenth birthday, his mother told him the truth.
He Shijin held Xiao Hansheng in her arms and said gently, "Xiao Sheng, let me tell you a story."
"Once upon a time, there was a wealthy man who fell in love at first sight with a woman playing the piano at a concert, and he began to pursue her intensely."
"But the woman is half vampire, which is a very low-level vampire, so she often feels that she is not good enough for him."
"However, due to the marriage alliance between the two families, the wealthy man interfered and married the woman he liked."
“After marrying her, the woman was not actually happy. After the wealthy man found out that she was different, he imprisoned her and prevented her from contacting the outside world.”
“She was tormented every night, and she couldn’t even play her most beloved piano. Her hands would tremble so badly whenever she touched the piano keys that she couldn’t play a complete piece at all.”
"The woman was devastated, but she could no longer escape her cage."
"She still loves the rich man, especially since she has given birth to a child."
"..."
He Shijin gently stroked Xiao Hansheng's back, "Okay, that's the end of today's bedtime story."
"Xiao Sheng, go to sleep."
Little Hansheng nodded obediently, hugged her mother's waist, and fell asleep.
After Xiao Hansheng fell asleep, He Shijin kissed his forehead; her face was already wet with tears.
Cheng Cuo sighed silently, lay down next to Xiao Hansheng, and stroked his forehead.
He was so young, yet he endured all of this and has persevered to this day.
Even Cheng Cuo, from God's perspective, felt sorry for Yu Hansheng.
You've already done a remarkable job growing up strong on your own, Yu Hansheng.
His mother didn't spend much time with him; just a few days after Yu Hansheng's tenth birthday, she committed suicide.
She jumped from the villa's balcony, and Xiao Hansheng watched helplessly as the woman died right in front of him.
Xiao Hansheng didn't cry. Perhaps he had long anticipated this day, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Cheng Cuo tried to cover his eyes, but it was in vain, because his hands couldn't touch Yu Hansheng at all.
It turns out that everything has a trace.
When the young couple fell to their deaths from the Ferris wheel, even though she was terrified and her hands were trembling uncontrollably, she still covered his eyes.
He Shijin left Xiao Hansheng a large sum of money and a suicide note.
She told Yu Hansheng to take her medicine properly, live a good life, and not to be sad about her death...
But He Shijin will never know that Yu Hansheng had long since replaced the medicine he carried with mints.
A bottle full of mints.
On the night his mother died, he didn't cry or make a fuss; he simply ate the entire bottle of mints.
Xiao Hansheng curled up in the quilt, numbly chewing on a mint.
The coolness usually helps him calm down and suppress his emotions.
After He Shijin's death, the man pretended to care and had Zheng Ma take Xiao Hansheng to a pet store to adopt a little orange cat.
Cheng Cuo's soul entered the body of this little orange cat.
With the kitten's company, Xiao Hansheng wasn't too lonely.
After the woman died, the man became increasingly busy with work and often did not come home.
On the only day he went home to rest, the man developed numerous red rashes on the areas of his body that had come into contact with cat hair, suggesting a possible cat hair allergy.
So he ordered Xiao Hansheng to release the kitten and forbade keeping cats in the house.
If it weren't for Xiao Hansheng's sake, Cheng Cuo would have already scratched the man a few times.
He could only nuzzle affectionately against Xiao Hansheng's trouser leg, and Xiao Hansheng picked him up, trying to reject the man.
But the man directly threatened him, "If you don't deal with this cat properly today, I'll skin it alive."
Xiao Hansheng was so anxious he was about to cry, but he had always been a loner and had no friends. What should the kitten do?
For the kitten's safety, Xiao Hansheng was forced to agree to the man's request.
He packed his things for raising the kitten and went out. Xiao Hansheng was confused as he walked on the road. The kitten was still so small, and he was worried about leaving it outside.
Xiao Hansheng was very clever and quickly came up with a brilliant idea.
He came to a small alley, put the kitten in a box, and placed it at the entrance of the alley.
Waiting for the right person to take the kitten away.
Cheng Cuo squinted his eyes contentedly, swished his tail, and enjoyed Xiao Hansheng's stroking.
Xiao Hansheng patted the kitten's head, feeling very dejected.
"Little cat, be good, okay? Don't run out of the box."
Cheng Cuo reluctantly licked Xiao Hansheng's hand, then returned to his spirit form and floated beside him.
This made Cheng Cuo much more comfortable. Without the physical limitations of the little orange cat, he could see the alleyway clearly.
Hmm? This place looks so familiar.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hansheng hid behind a wall, keeping watch.
At the same time, he made a silent vow in his heart.
If the person who takes the little orange cat is a girl, he will be responsible for that girl for the rest of his life.
If it's a boy, he also has to take responsibility for that boy!
Hmm... there shouldn't be any difference between boys and girls, right?
This is the only way he can think of to repay the debt.
This is what his mother told him: A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return.
In the sweltering summer, the sun beats down on the earth.
Xiao Hansheng was already drenched in sweat. He silently watched the time, deciding that if no one took him away within an hour, he would continue to raise him.
Xiao Hansheng secretly didn't want anyone to take his little orange cat away.
An hour passed quickly, and no one came.
Xiao Hansheng was secretly delighted. If no one adopted him, he could keep the little orange cat again.
When a boy about his age walked towards him, Xiao Hansheng, feeling guilty, went back behind the wall.
The person who came looked tall and thin, with fair skin and soft, drooping hair.
Wearing an ill-fitting short-sleeved shirt and shorts, she was squatting down, looking at the meowing kitten in the box.
Gently scratching the kitten's chin, Xiao Chengcuo said, "Kitten, why are you here all alone?"
"Are you homeless too? What a coincidence, me too."
Cheng Cuo rubbed his eyes, staring incredulously at the retreating figure who had picked up the kitten and left.
By a twist of fate, the little orange cat he picked up turned out to be the one that Yu Hansheng had raised.
It can only be said that this fate is very strange, so strange that Cheng Cuo was speechless.
Looking at Xiao Hansheng again, the gray world that had always been filled with light and color for the first time.
It's just that it's the red of blood.
His nose betrayed him, and two streams of bright red blood flowed down his nose.
Xiao Hansheng wiped her hands haphazardly a few times, then hurriedly pressed her hand to her heart.
Whew, my heart is suddenly beating really fast.
But he's so handsome! I wish I knew his name.
Cheng Cuo glanced at Yu Hansheng, whose face was flushed, and he finally understood why Yu Hansheng had fallen for him.
Cheng Cuo looked up at the sky and sighed. If he hadn't entered Yu Hansheng's memories, he might never have known about his childhood or anything about him.
In junior high school, Yu Hansheng had excellent grades and applied to skip a grade, simply because he saw a familiar figure at school.
At that time, Cheng Cuo was a notorious school bully, so Yu Hansheng easily found out about him.
After the exam, the principal approved Yu Hansheng's application.
It has to be said that Yu Hansheng is truly a natural at learning.
Therefore, Yu Hansheng naturally entered Cheng Cuo's class.
Looking at himself from a third-person perspective now, Cheng Cuo feels that he is still quite immature.
At such a young age, why should he become a school bully?
Although he had a reputation as a school bully, his grades were also top-notch.
Before Yu Hansheng transferred in, he was always the top student in the class.
After he came in, Cheng Cuo became the perennial runner-up.
Therefore, at first, Cheng Cuo disliked him unilaterally.
Later, after entering high school, Cheng Cuo's appearance attracted many suitors, including some who were jealous.
He was good-looking, so his desk was always stuffed with love letters.
At the time, Cheng Cuo didn't care much about such things because he was quite narcissistic back then, and felt that he was just handsome and there was nothing he could do about it.
However, it now seems that it was Yu Hansheng who was the one who slipped love letters into his desk every time.
Yu Hansheng asked her cousin to help her stuff it in.
Nine out of ten love letters were written by Yu Hansheng.
Cheng Cuo smiled, rubbing his forehead. At this moment, did Yu Hansheng even know what liking someone meant? He just stuffed love letters into his desk.
The next second, Cheng Cuo wanted to take back what he had said.
Because Cheng Cuo saw Yu Hansheng wearing a baseball cap, sneaking around at his doorstep.
He was rummaging through the trash can for something.
He was tall and thin, with a hunched back, completely disregarding his appearance, only revealing his taut jawline as he rummaged through the trash can.
His pale fingers pulled pink envelopes from the trash can.
Yu Hansheng carefully wiped away the stains, stood at Cheng Cuo's door for a while, and then left.
He had no idea that Yu Hansheng was rummaging through the trash can.
However, he knew that it was his wicked mother who did this.
That day, he thought he shouldn't disappoint the girl's feelings, so he put it in his schoolbag and took it home.
As a result, she went through his schoolbag without his permission, and when he returned to his room, all the love letters in his schoolbag were gone.
His mother, on the other hand, pointed her finger at him and cursed him, saying that he wasn't focused on his studies but only on romance.
Later, he came up with a stupid idea: he would spread the word at school that if anyone tried to give him a love letter, he would beat them up and make them drink toilet water.
He had a period of peace and quiet during that time.
Perhaps Yu Hansheng didn't expect things to develop this way.
There was another thing that Cheng Cuo couldn't understand, and he learned about it at this time.
Although Yu Hansheng excels in all subjects, he is best at humanities.
Logically speaking, he should have gone to the humanities class when he was divided into arts and sciences in the second year of high school, but he chose to study science.
It turns out that Yu Hansheng was always because of him.
Because he studied science in high school, the two of them were assigned to the same class.
Some things were provocations on his part, and Yu Hansheng ignored them completely.
After this experience, he finally understood why Yu Hansheng never spoke when he tried to cause trouble for him.
Cheng Cuo noticed a small detail: Yu Hansheng's slightly long hair couldn't hide the tips of his red ears.
How come he didn't notice it at the time?
In his second year of high school, Yu Hansheng, perhaps having received some guidance from a wise person, cut off his long hair that always covered his eyes, revealing his angular profile.
He still wears thick glasses, but that doesn't hide his handsomeness.
The reason was that Cheng Cuo and his classmates were having dinner when they inadvertently talked about the type of girl they liked.
At that time, Cheng Cuo was just saying it casually.
"I like girls who are as pretty as me. As for personality, I can accept someone who is lively, cheerful and generous."
Then the people around him started to cheer.
Yu Hansheng sat quietly in the back, eating his meal alone and listening to their conversation.
Then he immediately went to the barbershop, cleaned himself up, and presented himself in the best possible light to Cheng Cuo.
Looking at Yu Hansheng's actions now, Cheng Cuo felt that he was both foolish and persistent.
And it's kind of cute.
