Our love started with a cat. When love goes away, it also disappears.
But after a cat poops, he always likes to poop with his paws, trying to find something to cover the poop. So my pants always smell like cat shit.
When I came home, I saw Wen Nan sitting on the sofa reading a book, and Meteor lying on his feet, fast asleep. I pulled his ears and scolded him, "Don't worry about stink to death." Wen Nan stretched out his hand to indicate to me and whispered, "Don't worry about stink to death."
During my four years in college, because I majored in journalism, I often went out for internships and on-site visits. When he couldn't find a suitable employer, Wen Nan prepared to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and he often accompanied Meteor at home.
I used my tutor’s money to buy a suit, permed my hair, and learned to walk in high heels. After putting on makeup in the morning, I kissed Wen Nan who was still sleeping, and he purred and carefully fell back to sleep.
Meteor is lying in front of our bed, with two big bright amber eyes waving to me. At that time, I felt like a man.
"Will you come back for dinner tonight? I made your favorite potato ribs? "Wen Nan asked on the phone. I was having a conversation with an entrepreneur about current market trends in his industry. I smiled apologetically and hung up.
About ten minutes later, Wen Nan called again. I didn't answer and the phone kept vibrating. I reached out to turn off the phone. There are a total of five internships at the newspaper this time, and only two positions can be reserved. I must be one of them.
When my client and I came back from dinner, it was already past ten o'clock. I dragged my tired body back and suddenly remembered that I hadn't called Wen Nan back yet. I opened the door and the living room was dark. Maybe he had fallen asleep.
I stood on tiptoe to change my shoes, turned on the light, and suddenly saw Wen Nan sitting on the sofa! "Why don't you turn on the light when you're not sleeping?" I was startled and threw the key on the coffee table, only to see four dishes and one soup on it, untouched and already cold.
"What's the matter? Didn't you say you won't go home for dinner?" I said this, but I felt a little guilty in my heart. I came over after being beaten, waved my hand to blow the meteor dry, and stepped forward to hug Wen Nan. His face was dull, his body was frozen, and he was rejecting me.
"Today is my birthday. "I was stunned. Today is his birthday! "Finally, I want to apologize. "I'm sorry, Wen Nan, I'm too busy today. Can we go out for a late-night snack?"
Wen Nan stood up and was about to go back to the bedroom. After hearing this, he turned to look at me and said word by word: Yes, you are very busy. What if I was a big idler? "I burst into tears, but stubbornly said: "Isn't it this time that I forgot something? Who doesn’t have a birthday once a year and it’s not too early? "
Wen Nan put his schoolbag on his back and slammed the door. Meteor screamed "meow" and was frightened. He jumped on the coffee table and left a mess. I stood in the room blankly, feeling at a loss.
Wen Nan has not come back these days. He told me that he is going to move back to the school. Now. I'm anxious and angry about this job, and I don't want to quit. I've done a good job now, and my seniors have hinted that I want to stay since I was a child.
I know that such an opportunity is not easy. I go out early and come back late all day long. Meteor lives on a plate of cat food and a basin of water, which is completely lost. It lost its original sense of freedom. One time, I saw it scratching its eyes with its front paws, and when I opened them, I found that the corners of its eyes were covered with thick eye mucus. Maybe it was due to neglect and malnutrition during this period.
After calling me, Wen Nan said: "Meteor's eyes are not good." Okay..." Wen Nan hung up the phone and rushed over. He was just waiting for me to help him down.
I bought cat grass and eye ointment and came back. Meteor looked at us horribly. My nose felt sore, and I hugged it and said, "Mom didn't take good care of you. Can mom never quarrel with dad again?" "
Wen Nan glanced at me, held Meteor's paw, and asked, "Do you agree that I will continue to be with this woman?" I glared and shouted if I disagreed. There was a pink gum in the crater. I was so nervous, but when I saw it just stuck out its tongue and curled its nose, it broke away from my arms, jumped to the window sill, and lay lazily on the window sill.
We seem to be reconciled again, but I know there is a crack between us, getting wider and wider. Wen Nan's hometown is in a second-tier city in the north, and his parents still have some connections, forcing him to go back and find a job. Several times, he was in a daze in the room and hung up the phone. This winter, I stayed in the newspaper office as I wished, and Wen Nan returned to his hometown.
On the night we parted, we went to have supper and talked a lot, but I can’t remember it. After everything that could and could not be said, we remained silent. Wen Nan held me and hugged me tightly. I buried my head in his chest and wanted to cry again and again.
We have chosen to be on opposite sides, and there is no reason to force us. One day, the shooting star jumped out of the window and never came back. Recalling the scene at that time, I seemed to hear it turning its head and yelling at me, and then jumped.
Oh my god, I looked for it on the ground and called it, but there was nothing. The ugly cat that accompanied me for four years seemed to have never existed in my life and disappeared completely.
