Chapter 299 The last two days before the school celebration begins
Two days before the school celebration begins.
Choi Ming-chi pushed open the bedroom door and saw a Siamese cat named Gin, wearing a blue coat and a red bow tie, sitting in front of the screen, pressing a handle with his two paws.
That’s right, he hadn’t been happy for a few days after getting the PS5 for free from Uncle Wei, when this shameless cat broke into his house, took his PS5 for itself and played with it every day.
His father, for some reason, welcomed the uninvited cat and was pleased with its shameless occupation of Choi Ming-chi's PS5 console. "Don't think about playing games all day long. Give the cat the chance to play." Choi's father didn't know that Gin was a talking alien. In his eyes, the reality was that the appearance of this cute Siamese cat made his son's gaming time decrease rapidly, and he was very satisfied.
If this was just an ordinary cat, Choi Ming-chi would have picked it up by the scruff of its neck and thrown it out of the room. But the problem was that this was a very intelligent alien cat, and Choi Ming-chi suspected that picking up the cat by the scruff of its neck and expelling it would probably lead to some terrible alien diplomatic incident, so he could only watch Gin play every day with envy.
He had just sat down and was thinking of an excuse to get Gin to leave PS5 when he heard the Siamese cat say, "Is your school's anniversary about to begin?"
"Yes." Cui Mingzhi asked, "How did you know?"
"I heard from Maimai downstairs that he wanted to go and see it, too."
"Oh." It didn't seem strange to have a vending machine in the school. Cui Mingzhi thought about the school celebration for a while and suddenly remembered Ren Anzhi whom he had met not long ago. He said, "Oh, by the way, do you still remember Ren Anzhi?"
“The celebrity who never accomplished anything?”
Cui Mingzhi smiled and said, "He said he will also come to perform at the school celebration. Do you want to come and watch?"
"No." Gin stared at the screen and said, "I'm not interested in him."
"He's a big star!" Choi Ming-chi looked at Gin, the Siamese cat's chocolate-colored tail wagging, "Gin."
"Um?"
"Don't you like Ren Anzhi?"
"Hmm." The cat's ears and tail twitched at the same time. "Is it obvious?"
"Now that I think about it, you obviously like humans and like to interact with them, but in the last dream game adventure, I could sense that you were reluctant to let Ren Anzhi touch you." Cui Mingzhi said, "Now it's even more obvious. You don't even want to watch his performance!"
"Well..." Gin's cat paw pads moved the handle away, "I can't say I don't like him, there's something about him that..."
"What kind?"
"Uh... you wouldn't understand even if I told you. His smell is unpleasant." Gin looked at him with his bright blue eyes. "This is my intuition as a wise European cat."
“It’s totally unconvincing!”
The day before the school celebration begins.
It’s raining heavily again, Ren Anzhi thought to himself.
All his memories began with that rainy day.
That day, he was like a pupa in a cocoon swallowed by darkness. When his consciousness awakened and tore open the closed cage, the pouring rain filled his world. He could not see anything clearly, and there was misty water everywhere, and the chaotic sound of water echoed in his ears.
[I must——]
[I must save——]
He opened his eyes wide, trying to catch the cry that remained deep in his memory.
But the only remaining cry was instantly washed away by the gray downpour, leaving only the chaotic water and sky in his consciousness. In the white rain and fog, he seemed to see a green bird flying over his head.
"Who are you?" Wei Hongzhuo lowered his head and asked him. He was the first person he saw after waking up.
I have no idea.
"Where are your family? Why are you lying here?"
I have no idea.
He looked at Wei Hongzhuo's face, his tears rolled out of his eyes and disappeared in the rain.
…
…
He thought of that rainy day again. Five years had passed, but the first day was still as vivid in his mind as if it were yesterday.
Five years ago, his life was composed of a blank space of “not knowing”; five years later, his life became an entertainment star named Ren Anzhi.
To this day, whenever it rains heavily, he feels a sense of uncertainty and trembling all the time. Now his face frequently appears in the push advertisements of major media magazines and television. He is a popular and popular artist, and he is a dazzling star that everyone is paying attention to. But he still has a sense of uneasiness and an inexplicable sense of nothingness. He attributes this uneasiness and nothingness to his amnesia. Who was he in the past? Was he a college student? Or a migrant worker from a foreign land? Even with the help of the police and Mr. Wei, he still can't find any clues about the past. Five years ago, he was rootless, nameless and surnameless.
In the past two years, he often woke up from his dreams, and after waking up, he could not remember any details of the nightmare just now, but the fear that penetrated into his bones remained on his skin. Are there memories of the past in his nightmares? He always tried to recall them repeatedly with anticipation and fear, trying to find a trace of the remaining memory.
Who was I in the past?
A thunderclap in the sky shattered his thoughts into pieces. The patter of raindrops hit his head hard, and in the blink of an eye, his vision was filled with a waterfall of mist. It was another heavy rain. He shook his head, walked quickly forward, and pushed the door open.
This is the closest pet hospital to his apartment. It is a small private hospital, and Ren Anzhi is a frequent visitor here. As soon as he entered the door, the dogs in the cages started barking wildly.
A female doctor in a white coat came over from another room upon hearing the noise. The dogs immediately stood up and sat still like well-trained soldiers, and the barking stopped in an instant.
"Doctor Yang, is Duoduo feeling better now?" Ren Anzhi asked her.
Duoduo is a cockatiel raised by Ren Anzhi. More than a year ago, Ren Anzhi accidentally picked up this injured cockatiel while filming a movie. He took it home because it was cute. A few days ago, the cockatiel was not in good health, and Ren Anzhi had to go out of town to attend an announcement, so he left the cockatiel Duoduo in this pet hospital.
"Duoduo is much better now." Dr. Yang said. She brought a bird cage with a fat parrot with a beautiful crown inside. As soon as it saw Ren Anzhi, it chirped happily, "Anzhi!! Anzhi!!"
"Duoduo..." Ren Anzhi waved at the parrot.
Doctor Yang opened the birdcage, and the fat parrot jumped out with a silly look on its face, and flew directly into Ren Anzhi's hand, "Anzhi! Anzhi!!"
He stroked Duoduo a few times, then turned to Dr. Yang and said with a smile, "Dr. Yang, you are amazing. Duoduo has gained weight in the past few days."
Doctor Yang said: "Actually, it just wants you to spend more time with it. Now its physical condition is very stable."
"Ah, that's my job." Ren Anzhi sighed, "Duoduo, it's not that Dad doesn't want to accompany you."
The fat parrot looked very angry and pecked him. Ren Anzhi pretended to be angry and said, "You unfilial son!"
Doctor Yang looked at them and the bird for a while with a smile, then remembered that he had not given the medicine to Ren Anzhi yet, so he stood up and left to get the medicine.
Ren Anzhi was sitting on a chair teasing the fat parrot Duoduo. As soon as Dr. Yang left, the dogs that had been well-behaved in the cages immediately showed their true colors and started barking "woof woof woof" incessantly.
The fat parrot flapped its wings angrily to protest against the dogs that disturbed the father and son's reunion. When the dogs heard the parrot's chirping, they became more excited and barked even harder. In a moment, the small room was filled with noisy barking and bird calls.
Ren Anzhi found it funny and thought that this Doctor Yang was quite capable. No matter what kind of cats and dogs they were, they would immediately become obedient and well behaved when they saw her. Unfortunately, as soon as she left, these cats and dogs revealed their true colors.
Amidst the noisy animal sounds, a clear woman's voice suddenly emerged, "You are being selfish! You are being irresponsible to yourself and your race!"
Ren Anzhi was startled. He turned around and found that the sound came from a thin metal box on the table. This should be a communicator similar to a walkie-talkie. The person on the other end of the communicator seemed to be a middle-aged woman. "Don't you think about the fact that you have reached the childbearing age and should consider the lifelong event of procreation? I know you are going to blame me for being long-winded again, but this is the meaning of life. Passing on our genes, the older generation nurturing the next generation of new life, this is the proof of our existence..."
"Proof of existence..." Ren Anzhi murmured.
"So don't be stubborn anymore. You should face what you have to face—"
Bang!
Ren Anzhi raised his head, and Dr. Yang looked at him in a panic. She cut off the middle-aged woman's voice. "Sorry."
Seeing Dr. Yang's embarrassed expression, Ren Anzhi immediately understood what was going on. He smiled and said, "It's your family's pressure to get married, right?"
"I'm sorry to embarrass you," said Dr. Yang, and she reached out and put the thin metal box into her pocket.
"Haha, it's okay. Parents will do this when you reach a certain age." Ren Anyi couldn't help but feel a little sad when talking about his family. "In fact, it's also the love your family has for you."
"This is more of a responsibility than love." Dr. Yang shrugged. "I know they have a thousand good reasons, but I just can't get excited."
"That's right. This kind of thing can't be forced."
"It took billions of years for single-celled organisms to evolve into advanced intelligent life with complex thinking abilities. If life is only for the continuation of the species, then what does this billions of years of evolution represent?" Doctor Yang looked at Ren Anzhi, "The existence of life should not be just about passing on genes."
The meaning of life.
What am I doing for...
Ren Anyi fell into a trance for a moment, and the cry from his heart rang in his ears again.
I must -
I must save——
"Mr. Ren? Mr. Ren?"
"ah……"
"This is medicine for Duoduo. Take it according to the instructions." Doctor Yang pushed a box of medicine to Ren Anzhi.
"Thank you, Doctor Yang." Ren Anzhi came back to his senses, raised his head and took off his sunglasses, "Doctor Yang, what do you think of my face?"
"..." Doctor Yang looked at him for a while and said, "The proportions are very balanced."
"Well, most people would say I'm handsome." Ren Anzhi said without any modesty, "Doctor Yang, if your family is really urging you to get married, you can consider using me as a shield."
"..." Doctor Yang looked as if she was listening to a foreign language, and then she said, "Thank you, I won't consider it."
"Okay. I'm going to perform at No. 4 Middle School tomorrow. If you're interested, you can come and watch." Ren Anzhi picked up the birdcage, "Duoduo, say goodbye to Dr. Yang..."
Ren Anzhi took the fat parrot Duoduo away from the pet hospital.
Doctor Yang sat back in her seat, took out her communicator and took a look. Sure enough, her nanny had sent her 99 more voice messages to induce labor. She glanced at them and deleted them all, then found a message from Teacher Xiao Yuan.
Teacher Xiao Yuan said that she would return to Lola tomorrow, and tomorrow was the anniversary of No. 4 Middle School. She asked her to come over and play when she was free.
Dr. Yang felt that she had no interest in the human school's anniversary celebration. At this time, her nanny sent a new voice message, and she threw the communicator aside in a depressed mood.
"Why don't you listen to your seniors' teachings? This is your lifelong event!!"
Ah, this is really annoying. Dr. Yang took out her phone and started playing a mobile game. Suddenly, she realized that the voice of the nanny was speaking the universal language of the galaxy. Logically, Ren Anzhi, a local human, should not be able to understand it at all.
