designer who lives in the next room

"That's right, a Chinese and a Japanese, it's hard to imagine such a close relationship." The other person has been busy with his own affairs, so he didn't notice the rings on Li Zixi and Nanako's hands, "But friendship is such a thing. It has nothing to do with nationality, I also want to have a good relationship with her."

"Yes." Her companion answered her, then shrugged, "That kid has a pretty good personality, it seems that our company is going to have a capable helper."

The sky gradually darkened, Nanako no longer felt uncomfortable in her feet after receiving Li Zixi, she enjoyed walking side by side with Li Zixi very much.

She purposely put the umbrella closer to Li Zixi's side. Although it wasn't cold at all, she didn't want her wife to have any chance of catching a cold.

Even if it was raining, fish could be raised in the shoes, half of her body was wet, but as long as she walked side by side with Li Zixi, Nanako was satisfied.

The sun was completely setting in the west, and the street lamps and various billboards on the street embellished the street like a river of stars.She kept talking to Nanako about how happy she was to have a job, but it took Li Zixi a long time to find that Nanako even had rain on her hair.

Only then did she realize that the umbrella completely covered her, and Nanako was almost half of her body outside the umbrella.

"You're all soaked." Li Zixi pushed back Nanako's hand holding the umbrella, so that the umbrella could cover Nanako's head, but this also exposed her right shoulder to the rain, "At least cover your head , or you'll catch a cold."

"I'm in good health." Nanako said and wanted to push the umbrella back, but Li Zixi didn't agree with anything.

She understood what Nanako meant, and she also knew how much Nanako doted on her, but this kind of doting must not be based on Nanako's cold and fever.

Li Zixi held Nanako's hand, even the hand that was not exposed to the rain was a bit cold, let alone the other hand that was always exposed to the rain.

It is only the end of spring now, and the temperature is not high enough to rain without an umbrella.And this kind of rainy weather can easily lower the temperature. Nanako kept saying that she was in good health, but the hand she was holding was shaking slightly.

Fortunately, there was not much distance from the apartment, so Li Zixi quickened her pace, and Nanako had no choice but to keep up.She didn't continue to share the joy with Nanako, and now she just wanted to make Nanako feel home and take off her wet clothes.

"Get back in a while and take a shower first." Li Zixi told Nanako very seriously, "Bubble well, otherwise the moisture will remain in the body."

"Moisture?" Nanako didn't quite understand what Li Zixi meant.

"That is to say, the cold air in the rain, if you don't take a hot bath, it will always exist in the body, and when your immunity is low, it will suddenly erupt. At that time, it will be more than just a cold and a fever. It's easy." Li Zixi explained to Nanako what "moisture" is, and she heard these things from her mother, and the old people in the family would always tell her these things, "And don't tell me that you are in good health You get a little cold every now and then, and your menstrual period is coming soon, you still dare to get in the rain every time you feel so painful?"

This criticism and education left Nanako speechless. Although she has never had a serious business illness, she has been suffering from minor colds.A while ago, she was dragged by Li Zixi to see a doctor. After checking for a long time, the doctor finally found out what was wrong, that is, Nanako was blowing too much air conditioner.

She turns on the air conditioner almost every night when she sleeps. No matter what the weather is or the season, she must maintain the room temperature in a certain range in order to sleep soundly.

Regarding this problem, the doctor said that it must be rectified, so Li Zixi confiscated the remote control of the air conditioner when she got home, and even locked the plug of the air conditioner.

"But it's because you forgot to bring the umbrella that this situation happened." Nanako pretended to be extremely wronged, and refuted Li Zixi with a crying voice, "If you could remember to bring the umbrella, I would have liked it at home It's TV."

"Hmm..." Li Zixi, who wanted to criticize Nanako a few more words, was suddenly at a loss for words. After Nanako said this, she finally remembered that all this happened because of her.

"Also, if someone is willing to get up earlier, I think she will remember to bring an umbrella." Nanako who was criticized was persistent, and since she separated from Yui, the object of her bickering became Li Zixi.

"I, I was wrong, it was my fault..." Li Zixi scratched her face and apologized like Nanako, but she had no sincerity at all.When Nanako quarrels with her, she can answer a few words, but she is not as strong as Yui at all, and every time she quarrels, she ends in failure.

"Apologize without any sincerity." Nanako leaned close to Li Zixi's ear and whispered to her, the grievance and crying were all gone.She enjoys the occasional bickering conversations with Li Zixi, after all, it was Li Zixi who told her that "the bickering relationship will get better and better", "But I'm not unreasonable. I forgive you."

"Just put water? Do I have to take a bath for you?" Li Zixi asked angrily.

"If you think so." Nanako raised her eyebrows, and an imaginary picture appeared in her mind, "There is no need to take a bath, you can take a bath with me."

"I don't want it." Li Zixi shook her head desperately, "We agreed that we can only do it twice a week, and it's not today, today is 'NO'!"

"Tsk, how stingy." Nanako smacked her lips, she just wanted to tease Li Zixi, she didn't want to really take a bath with her.

After walking through the last intersection, the apartment building can finally be seen.This is a small slope, and the sewer pipes were repaired only a few months ago, so there is no rainwater running down the slope.

There are no storefronts here, only street lamps standing every ten meters.The light will be a little dim if you are farther away from the streetlights, but this is not a back alley, and there has never been any dangerous things.

Li Zixi and Nanako were still talking without saying a word, but they were interrupted by the sudden meowing.Following the sound, Li Zixi's gaze finally stopped on a cardboard box by the wall under the street lamp.

There was another meowing sound from the box, and Li Zixi walked over without saying a word, pulling Nanako.She was about to open the box to see what was going on, but she pushed Nanako aside first.

"It's a cat, stay away." Li Zixi said to Nanako, waving at her, wanting her to move further away.

"Umbrella, you'll get drenched." The umbrella was still in Nanako's hand, she looked at Li Zixi standing in the rain, and thought that the meticulous care all the way was in vain.

"It's okay." Li Zixi, who heard the cat's meow, didn't care about the rain on her body at all, she carefully opened the slightly closed box, and there really was a curled up cat inside.

A white cat with slightly variegated fur.There was a cushion in the box, and many small holes were pierced in the wall.The cat's fur didn't show any signs of being dirty or curly, and it could be seen that it was abandoned.

There is no information on the box other than "Please take me home", and there is no way to know its gender or name.

The box was placed in a place that could keep out the rain. The cat's body was dry, and Li Zixi carefully carried it out. It didn't resist, but was a little scared.

The tail is tightly attached to the body, and the ears are also hidden back.

Li Zixi wanted to touch it, but it kept dodging.

Abandoned cats don't seem to trust humans much anymore.

"Li Zixi?" Nanako called out to his wife, who hadn't moved for a long time since Li Zixi brought the cat out, "What happened?"

"Ah, it's okay." Li Zixi looked back at Nanako who was concerned about her, shook her head, and put the cat back in the box, "It was abandoned by someone."

When the kitten returned to the box, it immediately huddled in the corner, sniffing everywhere nervously, and did not relax until it was sure that this was where it was before.

It raised its head to look at Li Zixi, and meowed, with a small and trembling voice.It was stroked by Li Zixi just a few times, and it knew that the person in front of it would not hurt it, so it seemed to be asking Li Zixi if he could take him home.

Li Zixi was also thinking about these issues. She couldn't bear to let this kitten stay alone in the rainy night, and there were not many people passing by on this road, so it was difficult to find a kind person to take it home.

It looks like it is only two months old, how long can it live in this rainy day?

But how to bring it home, Nanako is allergic to cats, contacting cats for a long time will bring a heavy burden to Nanako's body.Nanako is her wife and the person she likes the most. She cannot let Nanako get hurt because of her willfulness.

"What's wrong with you?" Nanako finally couldn't bear it and walked towards Li Zixi. She wanted to pat Li Zixi on the shoulder, but Li Zixi avoided her.

"Don't touch me." Li Zixi looked at Nanako, "I have cat hair on me, you will be allergic."

Li Zixi's face was full of sadness, seeing that she might leave her life alone, she felt a little irritable, and even her tone of voice became bad when she spoke to Nanako.

"It's okay, you take the umbrella first, it won't be a problem if I touch it a little bit." Nanako handed the umbrella over, but Li Zixi didn't take it.

She turned her head to look at the cat lying on the side of the box and staring at her eagerly, then gritted her teeth and left without looking back.

Nanako called her behind her back, but she didn't respond, and ran all the way back to the apartment.

Li Zixi, the cat eyelid, ran away and yelled a few times, but she still couldn't wait for Li Zixi to turn around.It has been watching Li Zixi running back to the apartment, seeing her figure disappear, crawling on the side of the box, it was very disappointed, turned to look at Nanako next to it, then went back to the corner of the box with a "woo" lie down.

"..." Nanako was in a terrible mood, she wanted to reach out to pet the cat, but just as she reached out, the cat curled up even tighter, not at all as calm as it was when facing Li Zixi.

Perhaps it understood that the reason why it was not taken away by Li Zixi was because of the woman in front of it.

Nanako had no choice but to stand up again, when the wind started to blow, and the rain was blown onto the box by the wind.The cardboard box is quickly wet by rain, and it will rot in less than one night if it continues like this.

If Jiayang's cat is abandoned, it has nowhere to go. It can only curl up in a soaked box until it is picked up or its life comes to an end.

Nanako looked at the cardboard box and then at the umbrella in her hand, and finally she picked out a brick in the flower bed by the roadside.She leaned the umbrella against the box and pressed it with bricks to prevent the wind from blowing the umbrella away.

The cat didn't react at all, just looked up at Nanako when she left.

"I hope you'll be picked up sooner, poor fellow."

Volume [-]#I'll wait until I clean you up

The room was silent, and the lights were not turned on.

There are some water droplets and footprints on the entrance hall.

The lid of the washing machine was opened, and all of Li Zixi's wet clothes were thrown inside.She shut herself in the room, and the door was unlocked, because the room did not belong to her alone.

When she heard the door open and close and the "click" sound of the light button, Li Zixi cleared her throat and said to Nanako outside the room, "The water is ready, don't throw the clothes into the washing machine, I will wash them." I'll wash it for you when you're done."

Even though Li Zixi tried her best to appear calm, Nanako could still hear that she was very sad.But Nanako couldn't think of what to say at this time, so she simply responded to Li Zixi, then took off her clothes and walked into the bathroom.

The water temperature is just right, warm enough to dispel the moisture in the body.Nanako stared at the water droplets on the ceiling, her mind was full of Li Zixi's sad and disappointed expression while pretending to be calm.

If she hadn't told that lie a few days ago but told Li Zixi that she thought it was troublesome to keep a cat, wouldn't Li Zixi be able to take that cat home today?

Raising a cat is really troublesome, Nanako really thinks so.But even if you have to clean the litter box every day, groom the cat frequently, and spend money on a lot of canned food and nutrition cream for it, it's much better than watching Li Zixi sad.

Li Zixi didn't make a sound at all, and the washing machine was never turned on, Nanako could hear the sound of rain outside.The temperature at night dropped slowly, and I could feel it inside the house, let alone outside.

The rain didn't look like it would stop, and the umbrella wouldn't last long either.Nanako thought of something else, if the cat was frozen to death there tonight, then she was the real murderer.

Her mind was extremely chaotic, she hadn't lied to Li Zixi for a long, long time, but this time, such a small lie would make both of them extremely irritated.

Tonight was supposed to be a good celebration with Li Zixi, congratulating her on signing a contract with her favorite company, congratulating her on finding her first official job, but all of this was messed up by her lies.

The water from the ceiling fell drop by drop into the bathtub, echoing the sound of the rain outside.Nanako's heart became more and more irritable, she couldn't soak anymore.

She opened the window to dissipate all the heat in the bathroom, and the cold wind made her shiver. At the same time, she also decided something, left the warm bath, and walked out wrapped in a towel.

It happened that Li Zixi came out of the room to do the laundry, she could still see some tears on her face, and she didn't dare to look into Nanako's eyes because she didn't want to make Nanako feel guilty.

"I'll do the laundry right away, you can soak it for a while." Li Zixi's voice was weak, and she went to get the laundry detergent on the shelf, "I'll clean it up later, so don't worry."

She is still worried that Nanako will be allergic because she touched the cat, and she still believes Nanako's lies.

"Wait a minute..." Nanako held Li Zixi's hand with a strange expression, she opened and closed her mouth, and it took a while for her to say a complete sentence, "I lied to you, I'm not allergic to cats. "

Nanako stared at Li Zixi who was stunned in place, she thought that Li Zixi would angrily ask herself why she lied to her, but what she waited for was a discordant smile on Li Zixi's face.

"It's okay, you don't need to comfort me." Li Zixi poured the laundry detergent into the washing machine and pressed the start switch, "That child will definitely be picked up by others, and I can't be so capricious to make you allergic."

"I'm telling the truth..." Nanako's tone became more urgent, Li Zixi immediately believed the lie she told, but she didn't believe it when she told the truth.

"So you really need to take another bath. Look, your hands are still cold." Li Zixi patted Nanako's hand, then pointed to the steaming bath water.

Li Zixi couldn't listen to Nanako's words at all, she must be very sad now.Nanako knew that it was useless to say anything to Li Zixi now, there was only one way to get Li Zixi to recover.

Nanako took off the bath towel, picked up the wet and cold clothes and put them on. It felt so uncomfortable that Nanako couldn't help shivering from the cold.

"Nanako?" Li Zixi held Nanako, she couldn't see what her wife was going to do.

"You wait for me here, I'll be right back." Nanako didn't answer Li Zixi's words, but asked her to wait.After that, she ran out of the room in her wet clothes without even taking an umbrella.

It can no longer be described as continuous drizzle outside. As the temperature drops, the raindrops have grown a lot, hitting the body like a soybean, which is somewhat painful.

Nanako ran towards the small slope in front of the house, covering her eyes with her hands so that she could see the road clearly.The umbrella she left behind was still there, just washed aside by the rain.

The box was completely exposed to the rain and had caved in, and it looked like the cat was drenched too.Nanako trotted over while praying that the cat was okay, but when she opened the sunken cardboard box, she found that the cat had disappeared.

Was it taken away by someone?

Nanako thought about it standing in the rain, but soon she felt that it was impossible.The person who takes the cat away must be a kind person. Since she can take the poor cat away, she will never throw away the umbrella left here, so there is only one possibility, that is, the cat left by itself.

Nanako looked around the box carefully, but it was wet everywhere and couldn't find any clues.She was extremely disappointed, but when she saw that her hope was about to fail, she suddenly noticed a mark on the dry wall.

It looked like something wet had walked against the wall.

Judging from the height, it should be left by a cat or dog.

Nanako hurriedly followed the trace to find it, but fortunately, the trace was intermittent.It didn't run very far, and the traces finally disappeared in front of a flower bed.

There was no light next to the flower bed, and it was too dark to see anything inside, so Nanako had to take a photo with her mobile phone, but the flower bed was too low, and she couldn't see the inside at all from above.

Nanako shook the phone a few times, and suddenly found something moving inside.The thing inside felt the light of the phone at night, and made a soft "woo" sound.

Now Nanako was sure that the cat was hiding inside to hide from the rain, so she stretched the phone in again, and finally found the kitten that was drenched in water.

"You are here..." Nanako exhaled, she finally found the cat.

After she finished speaking, she wanted to reach out to grab it, but the cat seemed to be frightened, and she didn't even take a step closer to Nanako.

It hides inside and screams "meow", but Nanako can't touch it even if she stretches her hand.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you home." Nanako turned off the light of the phone, then knelt in the flower bed, leaning half of her body into the flower bed, even if the mud splashed by the rain splashed on her body, she would not care about being landslide by the branches and leaves the pain caused.

The cat was huddled inside, and Nanako touched it almost lying on the ground.The cat kept sniffing Nanako's fingers, barked a few times and then stopped, then slowly walked towards Nanako.

Nanako was finally able to hold her, and she picked up the cat carefully, for fear of hurting her.The cat didn't resist at all in her arms, and kept holding her fingers and smelling them.

"You are..." Nanako looked at her fingers, but she didn't find any difference. She watched the cat's nose keep moving, and immediately understood why.

This cat had already remembered Li Zixi's smell, it knew that Li Zixi would not hurt it, so when it smelled Li Zixi on Nanako's finger, it felt that Nanako would not hurt itself either.

On a rainy night, Nanako was standing under the street lamp with her cat in her arms. One person and one cat were drenched by the rain.Nanako kept rubbing her fingers against the cat's little nose, and the cat kept rubbing against Nanako.

It wasn't until Nanako shivered suddenly and "Ache" sneezed loudly that she realized that she had to go back quickly.

Nanako hugged the cat and ran home after avoiding the security guards patrolling the apartment at night. She was so cold that she knocked on the door desperately.

Soon the door was opened, Li Zixi wanted to ask Nanako where to go immediately, but she didn't expect to open the door and saw a guy covered in mud, she was so frightened that she almost smashed it with the clothes rack in her hand .

"It's me, it's me!" Nanako hurriedly said, pushing Li Zixi into the house.

"Why did you go!" Li Zixi shouted angrily, the floor that had just been cleaned was wet again.
