Buddhist small green plum

Chapter 9 Ji Shen Feeds the Cat
Qingran likes soft animals like cats very much, but Qingran's mother is allergic to animal hair, and will keep sneezing when she smells it. Qingran's wish to raise small animals at home can only be stranded.

Qingran’s mother felt very guilty about her daughter’s failure to realize her little wish. In order to make up for her daughter, she bought many simulated plush animal toys for Qingran.

Qingran's psychological age has already passed the age of getting used to plush toys, but every time he sees the plush toys brought back by his mother, he still acts very happy.

Later, her mother died unexpectedly, and the husband and wife had been in love for more than ten years. Qingran's father couldn't bear the blow for a while, and became seriously ill.

Later, Li Qingmo mentioned at the dinner table that they raised a small animal at home. At that time, their father silently took a few big mouthfuls of food without saying a word.

Qingran hastily rejected her brother's offer on the grounds that she no longer liked small animals. She was relieved to see her brother and father at the same time. Dad is not the only one who doesn't want to erase the traces of mother's life in this family?
After the meal, father called their siblings to the study room. He looked at them for a long time, and suddenly his eyes turned red. This man had been successful for half his life, but he suffered the fatal blow of losing his wife in middle age. I suddenly realized that I hadn't paid attention to my children for two years...

After the incident eased, a group of small stray cats often appeared on the big tree not far from Qingran's house. Qingran didn't know if her father had deliberately asked someone to let them go. Lie, since her mother died, she really doesn't like small animals very much.

The stray cats were probably very hungry, and they were familiar with Qingran who often fed them. Seeing Qingran's figure from a distance, they ran down from the tree, and Qingran squatted under the tree. The cat food was poured one by one into the small dish in his hand.

"Meow... Meow... Meow..." There was a soft meowing sound, and Qingran stood up and looked around, but he didn't find the little milk cat that made the sound, but the baby cat above his head. There was a slight sound from the tree.

Qingran took a step back vigilantly, looked up and looked for the kitten among the dense leaves. The first thing that caught his eyes was the slender legs wrapped in black pants, and the boy who was half sitting in the tree branch was holding a dirty kitten in his arms. orange kitten.

The setting sun will never set, and through the colorful leaves, the orange light will be sprinkled on the handsome facial features of the young man without hesitation. On the young man's head is a black baseball cap, and a pair of deep eyes are looking at Seizen from above. The little milk cat in the picture is still meowing.

A teenager should be an age between a teenager and a young man. The teenager has faded and the youth is not yet full.

For a moment, Qingran felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't think of where she had seen it before. She avoided the group of cats eating, and took two steps back silently. Jump down from a tall tree branch.

He nodded to Qingran, then knelt down and placed the kitten in his arms among the cats. The kitten meowed twice, and squeezed to the front of the cat food with his body.

The boy in black trousers stood up and faced Qingran. He was half a head taller than Qingran. He was tall and thin, and his facial features were more angular when viewed up close. However, his complexion was too pale and he looked sickly.

Qingran thought, according to this person's appearance, she must have seen it once and it will be unforgettable. She must have never seen it before, otherwise she would not only feel familiar but have no impression.

The boy in black trousers stretched out his right hand to Qingran, probably because he felt that he had hugged the dirty kitten. After thinking about it, he took it back quickly. There was no light in his eyes, but his voice was extremely gentle: "Classmate Qingran Hello, I'm Ji Yanchen, I just moved here yesterday, and we will be neighbors from now on."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to indicate a direction, indicating that that place was his home.

Qingran opened her eyes slightly, and didn't care what he said after saying the name at all. No matter how ignorant she was, she had heard of Ji Yanchen's name several times. High flow spread.

But the Jishen she knew didn't look like this. Ruan Ruan said that Jishen's apotheosis is based on talent, not on her face. Really eat and drink without worrying about a lifetime.

To put it bluntly, the implication is that Ji Yanchen is actually not very tall.

Qingran has met Ji Yanchen more or less in school. In her impression, Ji Yanchen always wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with half-length bangs covering half of his face, giving him an ordinary appearance. Gloomy impression.

Who would have thought that Ji Yanchen would take off his black-rimmed glasses and put a baseball cap on his overly long hair, so that his appearance would not be inferior to that of Xie Ying'an?

Qingran quickly came back to her senses, the surprised expression didn't even appear on her face for three seconds, she was a little surprised how Ji Yanchen knew her name.

"Ji Shen...Hello Senior Ji, I've heard about you for a long time." Qingran looked in the direction Ji Yanchen pointed just now, and there stood a small villa with a rather simple architecture. She smiled politely: " I am very happy to be neighbors with seniors."

Ji Yanchen looked at Qingran slightly distracted, and after a while he returned Qingran with a faint smile.

Qingran was startled, the corner of Ji Shen's lips in front of her curved slightly, and there was a small dimple on his left cheek?Good-looking is naturally very good-looking, although she is stiff, she can only tentatively call it a smile.

But she had long heard that Ji Yanchen had a withdrawn personality and had autism. Although it was mild, he didn't like to have contact with his classmates after all.

He habitually walks and walks alone. He has neither friends nor close classmates. He doesn't even want to talk to his classmates day and night. It's just the first time they meet today, out of politeness, the two of them nod at most Come on, why did he suddenly smile at her?
Qingran stared at the group of cats, his mind was slightly empty, the smile on Ji Yanchen's face only appeared for a moment, he knelt down again and looked at the stray cats scrambling for food, and said the second sentence after seeing Qingran.

"I like cats too."

Qingran nodded in response, and poured the rest of the cat food in the bag into small plates one by one.

Then Ji Yanchen seemed to start talking:
"The kitten is cute."

"..."

"A bit dirty, but squishy."

"..."

"Climbing trees...and going very high."

"..."

"Climb up and dare not come down..."

"..."

The setting sun finally hides behind the mountain, and the last ray of orange light disappears on the ground. The stray cats who are full start to leave in twos and threes. When they jump into the grass, they don’t forget to turn their heads and meow, and then hide in the dense grass. .

Qingran started to put away the empty dishes one by one, and she said goodbye to Ji Yanchen who was half squatting in front of the kitten: "Senior Ji, I should go back, goodbye."

Qingran didn't look back at Ji Yanchen inadvertently until he reached a far corner. At this moment, Jishen they were talking about was still in a half-squatting position, focusing on the orange kitten he rescued from the tree. He seemed to have merged into his own world, and everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Autism, that is.

This withdrawn boy doesn't appear frequently in the early stages of the book. Most of the time, he mentions casually admiring words from other students, and readers don't have a deep impression of him.

But in the middle and late period, the name of Ji Yanchen Jishen was suddenly filled with a lot of ink by the author. The young man described by the author between the lines is wise, has handsome features, and withdrawn personality. No one in the book can walk into his world.

Xie Ying'an, Li Qingmo, and Ji Yanchen grew up in the same compound when they were young. It stands to reason that they should talk about everything, and they shouldn't be nodding acquaintances now. It's just that Ji Yanchen didn't like to go out when he was young.

He was studying when Xie Ying'an and Li Qingmo got along well, and he was still studying when Li Qingmo and Xie Ying'an were teasing cats and dogs.

Later, Xie Ying'an became a winner in life, but he unknowingly became the biggest villain in the book.

In the comment section of the book, there are mixed opinions on Ji Yanchen. Some people say that they feel sorry for him; some say that he is closed and unwilling to go out.

More comments are: as long as there are beautiful things that Jishen likes in this world, he will not become like this.

After many years, when Qingran recalled the details of the book, the details of the book were somewhat blurred, but she generally remembered it clearly.

Qingran sighed slightly, she needs to stay away from Xie Ying'an, Wen Shiyi, and Ji Yanchen. After the third year of high school, these people are also passers-by with her, and when they meet again, the friendship between gentlemen is like water.

The sight looking at him finally disappeared around the corner, Ji Yanchen heaved a sigh of relief, and withdrew his already stiff hand on the kitten's head.

The orange kitten in front of him scratched bloodstains on the back of his fair hand. The stray cat has a wild temper. Even in the face of the person who rescued it, it chose to stretch out its sharp claws mercilessly.

Ji Yanchen looked at the dry blood on the back of his hand. Leaning halfway on the tree, he slowly turned his baseball cap half a circle, the brim of the hat covered his pretty eyes, and he could only hear him muttering: "It caught me... "

"I don't like cats..."

The sky darkened, completely melting the boy in black into the night.
