Chapter 378: Lock the Cat Up
Translator: Zayn_
The production team had spent a lot of effort decorating the dormitory. In order not to let the fans have any objections, even though they were still sleeping on single beds, there were still some extra furniture inside, such as wardrobes and desks.
Song Qingyou’s room was even more so.
Not only was it more spacious for one person to live in, but there were also additional items such as a cat tree and a cat nest.
Song Qingyou put Zhizhi on the desk and went to the bathroom and balcony.
“Zhizhi, do you want to follow me or stay here for the next few days?”
She sat on the chair and seemed to be talking to herself.
Jiang Zhihan pretended not to understand because cats couldn’t talk.
Even if a certain someone’s suspicion of him was only a thin layer of paper, he would still try his best to keep it a secret…
Song Qingyou stroked the furry cat ears. “Since you’re not making a sound, then let me hold you for the next few days.”
“In any case, every time Zhizhi falls unconscious, it’s in the middle of the month. These few days are coincidentally in the middle of September. If Zhizhi falls unconscious, I’ll be the first to notice…”
“Meow-”
When Jiang Zhihan heard this, he almost exploded.
His thoughts were still immersed in his work. It was only now that he remembered that once The Impact announced the celebrity rankings, he would definitely return to his original self!
The worst thing was that this time, it was very likely that he would be the same as the last time, switching between his human body and cat body!
At this thought, Jiang Zhihan couldn’t just sit still and wait for death.
He moved his ears and pushed Song Qingyou’s hand away with his head. Then he jumped off the desk and meowed at the dormitory door.
Most people could tell from his expectant look that he wanted to go out.
Song Qingyou rested her face on one hand and looked at him with a smile.
“So Zhizhi wants to stay with me too. He doesn’t want to stay in the dormitory. I understand.”
Jiang Zhihan was speechless.
He felt that she was doing it on purpose.
But what could he do? He could only try his best to express his refusal to stay here.
The cat scratched the door for a while, then turned back to meow at her. After meowing, it scratched the door again, and so on and so forth…Song Qingyou watched this scene with great interest.
Jiang Zhihan repeated it many times. Seeing that Song Qingyou was unmoved, he was 100% sure that she did it on purpose.
If Song Qingyou couldn’t send him away, then he could only run away.
Just as this thought came to mind, Song Qingyou said, “Zhizhi doesn’t want to stay here. I can send you back… But not now.”
“You were sent here by Director Wei. If you leave without finishing the recording, people might suspect that I’m abusing cats…Sigh!”
This “genuine” sigh made Jiang Zhihan stop scratching the door.
Before he could think about how ridiculous this reason was, he heard a flurry of footsteps outside.
In the blink of an eye, Song Qingyou arrived in front of Jiang Zhihan. She scooped the cat into her arms and looked out the window.
She waited for the footsteps to stop before opening the door.
The neighboring room 601 must have heard the commotion as well. The braver Shu Ling poked her head out.
“What just happened?” Song Qingyou asked.
“It’s Tang Zinian. He’s being chased by the men in black. Those men in black should be the ones on patrol that the warden mentioned.”
Shu Ling couldn’t help but purse her lips. “A few men in black appearing in the middle of the night, it’s really too scary!”
No wonder the program team wanted them to check their health!
“Will we be chased if we go out? How are we going to investigate?”
Song Qingyou saw Zhao Yingnan’s expression of wanting to retreat. She thought about it and couldn’t help but ask, “What time did they appear?”
“All?” Shu Ling looked back at the clock on the table. “It’s about seven o’clock.”
“Qingyou, you suddenly asked about the time. Is there a time interval between these people’s appearance?”
“It’s possible.”
Song Qingyou gave a hint and closed the door.
She smiled at the cat in her arms. “In order to prevent Zhizhi from escaping, it seems that we can only let Zhizhi stay in the cage obediently for the next few days.”
Cage?
Jiang Zhihan immediately felt that something was wrong. He spread his legs and tried to escape.
Unfortunately, Song Qingyou’s physical fitness wasn’t ordinary, and he was just a pet cat!
Therefore, it didn’t take long for the girl and the cat to look at each other through the cage.
Song Qingyou had only prepared a variety of cat carriers and had never bought a cage, and this cage was obviously brand new.
Question: Did Song Qingyou plan to lock him in a cage?
He thought about how the production team had sent the cat over for such a ‘high-sounding’ reason…
The answer was, of course, yes.
Jiang Zhihan was helpless. He didn’t even have the interest to open the cage.
Song Qingyou revealed a dark expression.
“What a pity. I thought Zhizhi would scratch the cage like how he scratched the door just now!”
“This way, I can test the cage that I specially customized. Is it like what the shop said? Even small ferocious beasts can’t escape.”
Jiang Zhihan was speechless.
As expected, it was right not to open the cage.
Also, what did small beasts mean?
Jiang Zhihan looked down at his paws and wanted to say, “There’s no need.”
Song Qingyou made up her mind to determine when Jiang Zhihan would fall unconscious and when he would wake up. She even stuffed the tablet into the cage. When Jiang Zhihan wasn’t paying attention, she even placed a miniature camera on the desk.
After everything was arranged, she comforted him,
“Today, Zhizhi has been lying in the table pocket for the entire day, so there won’t be a problem if he stays in the cage obediently…”
Jiang Zhihan lowered his eyes. Since escaping from Song Qingyou wasn’t realistic, he could only ask Fang Yan to find Chen Lan.
Perhaps Chen Lan could make Song Qingyou change her mind.
As for pretending to be sick, Jiang Zhihan had already rejected this idea.
Song Qingyou’s observation skills were outstanding and she could quickly find problems.
Once Song Qingyou got serious, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t turn into a living person in the hospital.
Compared to the hospital, it was safer to be with Song Qingyou.
Song Qingyou didn’t know what her cat was thinking. She only saw that the cat in the cage suddenly became quiet and listless.
she pursed her lips
For some reason, even though she knew that the cat in front of her was most likely Jiang Zhihan, she wasn’t as happy as she had imagined that her prank had succeeded. In fact, she even felt a little regretful.
Was he soft-hearted just because he looked like a cute cat? Or did she like cats that much?
Or was it because Jiang Zhihan himself was too much in line with her aesthetic standards?
Song Qingyou couldn’t figure it out, so she threw the question aside.
She was about to ‘warn’ the cat in the cage to not waste his time when she heard a knock on the door.
It was Shu Ling who came to knock on the door, and Zhao Yingnan who was holding her arm tightly.
“What’s wrong?” Song Qingyou asked.
“We just confirmed that the interval between the patrols of those men in black is ten minutes. Every ten minutes, they will appear on the sixth floor. We can take advantage of this gap to sneak away.”
“Where is the direction?”
“They usually come from there.” Shu Ling pointed at the stairs on the right.
“Did they come down from the seventh floor, or did they come up from downstairs?” Song Qingyou asked thoughtfully.
Zhao Yingnan shook her head. “I’m not sure. We don’t dare to follow.”
Their phones were taken away, so they couldn’t contact Jiang Xuyan and the others..
