Revenge of the Garfield

, you were planning how to completely take yourself out of this matter, right? I felt very strange before, at that time it was obvious I deceived you first and left home afterwards, yet you took the initiative to come to me and ask for peace because you had already planned what was to follow, didn’t you?”

       Li Zhenran didn’t answer, in Li Zhenruo’s view, he acquiesced.

       At that time, rather than being angry at being deceived, Li Zhenran began to think about how to present the truth to Li Zhenruo.
After hesitating, he finally decided to cover up all the facts related to him, and only let him know about Li Zhentai.
However, what was presented to Li Zhenruo in this way was almost the complete truth.

       Anger was the disguise.
After Li Zhenruo ran away from home, Li Zhenran decided to stop the disguised anger and chose to bow to Li Zhenruo.

       Li Zhenruo said, “Since you chose to hide from me, why did you let me see Li Zhentai alone? You should have watched me and not let me have the chance to be alone with him.”

       Li Zhenran heard the words and said, “So it was Li Zhentai.
I let you see him alone because he didn’t know that I was involved in this matter from beginning to end.
I want you to watch him die and complete your revenge.
I didn’t think he’d say anything to you that would make you start to suspect me.”

       “No,” Li Zhenruo shook his head, “It’s not that I doubt you, it’s just I doubt that someone else was involved behind this affair.”

       Li Zhenran asked him, “So do you hate me?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Let go of me first.”

       Li Zhenran let go of his hand and helped Li Zhenruo fix the collar that had come loose in the tugging.

       Li Zhenruo said, “I don’t hate you, I’m just a little afraid of you.
If I continue to be with you, I will never be able to get rid of doubts and fears.
I don’t know which of your words is true and which is false.
Even now, I began to suspect that the truth is not so simple, there is a bigger situation behind it, and I don’t know it even if I’m in it.”

       “Zhenruo,” Li Zhenran reached out to touch his face.

       Li Zhenruo turned his head to avoid it.
He walked towards the door of the office, and finally stopped by the door.
He reached out and grabbed the collar around his neck and ripped it off.
The chain buckle behind the collar was pulled off, and a bloodstain was also strangled on the back of the neck.

       “This collar,” Li Zhenruo said, “I know it has a tracker, but I never took it off.
I thought it was more of a memory of the past between us, and it always lost its practical significance, but now I’m not so sure anymore.
I’m not your cat, and you can’t tie me up.”

       After he said that, he threw the collar in the direction of Li Zhenran.

       The collar hit Li Zhenran’s chest and then landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

       Li Zhenruo opened the door and walked out, while Li Zhenran crouched down to pick up the collar slowly with his hands.

       When he came out of Li Zhenran’s office, Li Zhenruo realised that it was still dark outside in the corridor.
He groped for the direction of the elevator.
But after two steps he remembered that the power had gone out and the lift had naturally stopped, so he turned around and groped in the direction of the stairwell.

       The staircase was so pitch black and there was no light at all coming in.

       He felt that his head was spinning, so he changed back to the shape of a cat, and his vision suddenly became clear before running downstairs.
He just kept running out of Yunlin’s building, Li Zhenruo ran all the way forward on the brightly lit street.

       The cold wind of the night kept blowing through his body, and his aching mind was gradually clearing up.
When he stopped and turned around, Yunlin’s building had disappeared from sight.

       He slowed his pace and raised his head like many arrogant cats.

       When he was still a complete human, love was just a spice of life for him.
He believed that the goal of life as a man should be a career; after losing his life, his goal in life was to find his murderer and to take revenge; when he got his revenge, he wanted to live longer to accompany Li Zhenran.
He admitted that he was a little addicted to love and could not extricate himself from it.
He understood the taste of love beyond the sky, and other things seemed less important.

       Until now.

       When he was standing at the intersection and waiting for the red light, several people around him were looking at him.
Li Zhenruo’s mobile phone was put on a rope by him, so it could be hung around his neck when he turned into a cat.

       A young man seemed to have followed him for a while, and when he saw him alone as a cat, he knelt down and pretended to pet his head while trying to get the phone around his neck.

       Li Zhenruo bit his hand mercilessly then ran into the crowd and ran away.

       When he saw the red light turn green and the pedestrians hurrying forward, Li Zhenruo thought to himself, should his story be over now? Rather than being a cat, he still wanted to be a complete person.

       He had already fulfilled his wish with this body, so it was better to return the body to the original owner now and to reincarnate as soon as possible.
He didn’t need an overly prominent family, even if he was a child of a poor man, to work step by step for what he wanted was the best life.

The author has something to say:

I’ve got a shield in front of me, come on, attack me, I’ll pretend I didn’t see it

Notes:
Can you trust someone again after being deceived so bad that you begin to question everything? I feel like I just witnessed something real dark… about Zhenran… and how calculative he is…
Also I just read an NU comment saying that the people here are treating the cat so bad.
I agree.
But don’t call PETA please (ಥ_ಥ)
