In the end, the black cat did not agree. Although Su Qi was very puzzled by this, she did not explain. Nor did she plan to explain her secret to the other party.
Since Bai Ziyu had not agreed, Su Qi naturally had no reason to stay either. After giving her a phone number, she closed the room door again.
The black cat only expressed this toward the matter.
“Meow.”
She did not even offer me a drink of water.
“Meow.”
How rude.
She snorted lightly. She did not mind it either. The corridor once again fell into darkness. The black cat took a step. She blended her entire body into the night.
Rustling dust fell from above her head. It buried the traces of the black cat having been there. The corridor was silent. There were simply no other sounds to be heard.
Bai Ziyu felt that Su Qi still had things she had not said.
But it probably was not important, right?
……
Luo Yunzhi’s daily life consisted of running back and forth between home, school, and her part-time job. However, today seemed somewhat different from her usual routine.
For her, there was a piece of bad news. That was that she did not plan to film videos anymore. Even though doing so would cause her income to drop sharply all of a sudden.
But deep down, Luo Yunzhi felt that this way she could better protect the black cat. Although she also did not understand exactly why she thought this way.
As for the good news… That transfer student Su Qi seemed to have transferred schools again. The girl had not seen her anymore. Even the homeroom teacher no longer mentioned her.
It seemed that in the blink of an eye.
She had disappeared.
“Well. It does not matter anymore.” Right now Luo Yunzhi was actually quite happy. Because without the other party, it could be considered that a huge trouble had been resolved.
However, when it came to making money, she still could not think of too many other methods. She simply decided to focus on completing her studies first for now.
The money she earned from her part-time job was still enough to maintain her living expenses. Although her material conditions were not considered very good, at least this way she did not have to continue living in fear and anxiety.
Luo Yunzhi shook her head.
She did not mind it.
And these peaceful days quietly passed by. It was not until several weeks later that waves were stirred up once more. Or rather, they surged like raging waves.
Today the girl finished school as usual and went to work at the convenience store. After changing into her work uniform, Luo Yunzhi stood straight at the cashier counter.
Sister Li was stocking the shelves. She lightly counted the inventory. Her movements were quite quick. It did not take long before she finished counting all the goods.
“Little Luo, catch.”
“Eh? What is this?”
“A new beverage.”
Sister Li chuckled twice. After withdrawing the hand that had thrown the item, she walked over to the side of the cashier counter. “Just like last time. Help me give some feedback as well.”
Luo Yunzhi blinked. She did not think too much about it. She twisted open the bottle cap and lightly took a sip. This time the taste was actually much better than last time.
Seeing that she was drinking, Sister Li also twisted open a bottle and took two sips of the beverage there. She sat on the stool. She hesitated for a few seconds.
“Little Luo. How do you feel?”
“It tastes really good.”
“Then that is good.”
Sister Li smiled there. Then she spoke in a seemingly casual manner. “By the way, Little Luo. How is that black cat of yours doing now?”
“Xiao Bai? She is doing very well.”
“I have not seen you post any videos recently.”
“She does not want to be on camera.”
“So that is how it is.”
The middle-aged woman pondered for a moment. She looked at the girl. It seemed she wanted to see something. But clearly she could not see anything at all.
She shook her head. Sister Li felt relieved. She continued smiling there cheerfully. “Oh right.” She opened her mouth. “I know a pet doctor.”
“If your black cat is ever feeling unwell somewhere, you can ask me to find that person.” She said. “That person is a friend I knew before.”
“The price is very reasonable.”
Luo Yunzhi was slightly stunned.
“Mm. Alright.”
Her expression was slightly odd. She did not understand why the other party would bring this up. But thinking about it carefully, it was probably to recommend business for a friend?
This kind of social favor was normal. So the girl did not have too many suspicions. She smiled lightly. Then she saw someone walk in from outside the door.
“Welcome. Customer.”
……
“Ah~ So boring~”
A pleasant voice came out from the girl’s mouth. Bai Ziyu rolled over on the sofa. She sank her entire body into the soft blanket.
She had no intention of turning on the lights. Because right now she had already transformed into a human. Moreover, she was in a naked state. If she turned on the lights and Luo Yunzhi came back and saw her?
That scene was terrifying just to imagine.
She was also unwilling.
“When will I be able to stop pretending?” Bai Ziyu sat up from the sofa. Her legs swung back and forth. They simply could not touch the ground.
After all, compared to being a cat, she was still more accustomed to her human body. Even though this body could not even be considered that of a young girl. It was almost no different from a loli.
She lowered her head and looked at her chest.
Mm. Very flat.
The little loli blinked. She tilted her head. She stared blankly at a certain spot in the room. As it turned out, there were even more yokai in this world than she had imagined.
But they could not be found on the internet… That was very telling. The upper echelons of humanity temporarily did not want ordinary residents to know about the existence of yokai.
Humans had definitely discovered yokai long ago. And it was also very understandable that the upper echelons did not want ordinary people to know. After all, it would impact the long-standing materialist worldview.
It would cause chaos.
It was too obvious.
“What does the yokai world look like?” Bai Ziyu pondered. But she estimated that she would not be going there in this lifetime. So even if she knew, it would be useless.
However, cats were always curious. Unfortunately, she did not have a phone in her hand right now. So this thought could only be temporarily suppressed and not thought about.
The little loli’s small feet stopped.
She lifted them onto the bed.
“Su Qi said… The appearance of yokai was caused by the ‘spirit’ that leaked out from the yokai world. Then does that mean that dumb dog can also become a yokai?”
“Come to think of it, I seem to have forgotten to ask. Yokai as a type of creature definitely have special abilities, right? She mentioned spiritual energy. Then does that mean they can also cultivate?”
“After cultivating, will they be able to fly through the sky and burrow through the earth? Mm. Maybe it really is possible? Then what about humans? Humans should also have this kind of ability, right.”
The more Bai Ziyu thought about it, the more absurd it felt.
Suddenly she felt.
The world was so unfamiliar.
Her reincarnation timing was clearly wrong. If she had reincarnated after the upper echelons had already confessed to ordinary people, then she would not need to be fantasizing here right now.
But after pondering for a moment, she still shook her head. These were all unrealistic matters. When there was an opportunity, she would ask that girl Su Qi again.
But there was one thing she cared about very much… In truth, when Su Qi was leaving, she had said something. That sentence made her completely unable to understand.
“What does she mean by ‘I will still come find her’?”
Bai Ziyu frowned.
“Is it because of curiosity?”
But no matter how she thought about it, it did not seem likely. There was definitely something else that had been overlooked. However, that kind of thing was something she definitely did not know.
Her thoughts were quickly interrupted. Because the little loli had already heard the sound of the door lock. She was stunned for a moment. Then she transformed back into a black cat once more.
The light from outside the room shone in.
“Xiao Bai, I’m home~”
“Meow.”
Welcome back.
