He used to think that a cat was just a cat. But after he got Dahei, he suddenly realized that Dahei was a cat. But a cat is not Dahei.
Big Black is a one-of-a-kind cat. Even if Clara were brought to him right now, Wen Zheng thought he would choose Big Black without hesitation.
Wen Zheng suddenly stood up: "I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."
Shan Yu paused for a moment, then quickly realized what she meant and said, "Okay, while we're waiting for Xiao Yu, let's both go to the restroom."
Wen Zheng selected pause mode. After a slightly dizzying feeling of weightlessness, he opened his eyes and ripped off his holographic glasses.
Wen Zheng felt a slight soreness in his eyes, so he turned his head and blinked hard.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a pair of golden vertical pupils.
"!"
If Wen Zheng had hair, he would swell to twice his size in an instant.
He sprang up abruptly, his heart pounding, his blood rushing to his head, and even his fingertips went numb.
Hold.
When did this cat climb out?
Why are you looking at me so closely?!
The big black cat lay on the pillow, looking up at Wen Zheng. It didn't meow or make a fuss, just stared intently. After a few seconds, it even yawned as if it were bored.
"……"What's the meaning?
Bored?
I felt a little sorry for Wen Zheng after hearing about it. He was lying there playing games, and the cat had nothing to do; it's understandable that it was bored.
He wiped his face, got out of bed, and went to turn on the computer for the cat.
"What do you want to see? I'll show you an animal documentary."
Wen Zheng was shirtless, his voice slightly hoarse, with only a pendant hanging around his neck. The pendant was about the size of a fingernail, with a peculiar shape, composed of several overlapping square frames.
He turned on the projector on the main unit. After tuning the frequency, a documentary about the vast grasslands began playing on the white wall.
Big Black used one paw to prop itself up and took two steps. Wen Zheng went over and picked it up: "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"
The cold-blooded Big Black expressed his contempt with his eyes.
Wen Zheng: "..."
How exactly did I figure that out?
After switching between several popular channels, the computer finally stopped playing a geography program. Wen Zheng rummaged through the closet for some old clothes, piled them up next to himself, and then put Big Black on top of them.
"Big Black, is this comfortable?"
Big Black's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Wen Zheng was puzzled: "What's wrong? Are you going to change the channel again?"
"..." Big Black bared its teeth at him.
"Oh, your name?"
Wen Zheng said lovingly, "Do you like it? Dahei is your new name. Ah, it seems you like it very much."
Big Black: "………………"
When Wen Zheng returned from using the restroom, his phone screen lit up with a message notification.
I glanced at it subconsciously and found it was a Weibo follow notification and a private message from someone I follow.
Wen Zheng paused, his hand poised to put on his glasses, and then opened Weibo.
@MountainRainIsComing-CatLove: Little Z, do you have Xiaoyu's phone number? I remember you two were very close.
Wen Zheng paused for a moment, then replied that he did.
Shan Yu replied quickly: Then give him a call. Tell him to come down and rest for a bit. I just watched his live stream, and he's still looking for the groove. You can remind him.
You can receive external calls in the game, but you cannot actively make outgoing calls.
Now that Wen Zheng has paused the game, he can theoretically call Deng Puyue.
Wen Zheng slowly typed a reply: Cheating?
@山雨欲来-爱猫: Don't say that, it's just for the sake of the show. There are already tons of guides online for a dungeon with no stars, it's not that serious.
You're the broadcasters, and your job is to make the audience happy, isn't it?
Although this statement is a bit offensive, it makes sense upon closer examination.
Wen Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, the air from the air conditioner blowing across his bare back, feeling a slight coolness.
He carefully considered his words, wanting to reply politely, but Shan Yu sent a message first.
@山雨欲来-爱猫: But it's okay, you don't have to call. Just stick to your usual livestreaming routine, there's still almost an hour left.
Take a rest and come back. Drink plenty of water, and remember to get hot water, as the weather is getting cooler.
Wen Zheng let out a soft sigh, feeling a warmth in his heart.
He didn't call Deng Puyue, but obediently drank some water and lay back down on the bed.
Dahei lay peacefully in its makeshift den, and Wen Zheng reached out and tentatively touched its back.
Silky smooth.
The cat's ears twitched.
Wen Zheng put on his glasses and re-entered the game.
***
Before Xuanyuan Tianlu returned, a flash of blue light appeared, and Shan Yu's magnanimous figure came into Wen Zheng's view.
"You're back? I just peeked into Xiaoyu's live stream."
Wen Zheng hummed in agreement and then asked, "Where is he stuck?"
"Haha, looking for the hole to put the tweezers."
Wen Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth; this theatrical dialogue made him slightly uncomfortable.
"I was stuck for a long time too."
Shan Yu stopped while things were going well and waited for Wen Zheng. In the silence, Wen Zheng suddenly felt like he heard something.
"What's wrong?" Shan Yu asked Wen Zheng, who suddenly sat up straight.
Wen Zheng gestured for silence, walked to the door with the three large characters "Department of Tooth Decay" written on it, and pressed his ear against it.
After a while, he said directly, "I can hear it." Before he finished speaking, he kicked the door open with a bang, and the door slammed open.
A sudden, alarming storm was brewing: "…………"
"Holy crap!!! Brother Zheng!!! Brother Zheng, is that you!!"
Deng Puyue shouted through the two doors, "My brother Zheng! Help me! Where are the tweezers?!"
Wen Zheng took a deep breath, focused his energy, and shouted at the crack in the door, "From the crack in the chair—!"
"Ahhh, holy crap, I know! I'll go touch it!"
The footsteps faded into the distance, and Wen Zheng, panting, stared in disbelief at the impending storm.
A moment later he burst into laughter: "This works too?!"
Five minutes later, Deng Puyue finally found the right way to unlock the door. In front of Tianlu, who had just logged in, she pounced on Wen Zheng and howled, "My dear Zheng-ge! I'm going crazy! Why am I in a place like that?!"
What could Wen Zheng say? He could only remain silent, feeling frustrated.
Xuanyuan Tianlu was annoyed: "Are you stupid? The boss lingered by the examination chair for so long, even a primary school student could understand that."
Deng Puyue's eyes widened: "My boss didn't stop, where am I supposed to look?"
"How is that possible?"
"Really!" Deng Puyue exclaimed indignantly, "I bumped into it as soon as I came up, then circled around the hall for three minutes, and finally went back to my birthplace, closed the door, and hid for five minutes before it left!"
The three of them: "…………"
Knowing Deng Puyue's idiotic behavior, Wen Zheng wearily pinched the bridge of his nose and was the first to speak: "Let's go."
Susan on the fifth floor is still waiting for them to rescue her.
Let's just ignore Deng Puyue, who's beyond saving.
Author's Note: Big Black: ...Why is my future wife lying here motionless? Let me see if she's dead.

Chapter 8
The four of them gathered together and first introduced themselves.
Deng Puyue, having long admired Shan Yu Yu Lai for so long, asked with a grin, "Should I call him Brother Shan or Brother Yu?"
The storm was brewing, but he was very good-natured: "Anything is fine."
He briefly explained the current situation to Deng Puyue, who suddenly understood and took out Susan's fourth diary from her toolbox.
"I knew it! What 'my mom is again...'"
Wen Zheng: "..."
You guessed right!
Only forty minutes left, and it was all Deng Puyue's fault for taking up so much time. He clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, I've held you back! Shall we go now?"
The four went upstairs.
When Wen Zheng went upstairs, he turned on the live chat, and everything was calm and peaceful.
Looks like the excitement has already subsided.
-Wow, Z is so handsome! He's the face of the broadcasting competition.
