Chapter 5 did something terrible to him...
Gu Zhibei found it difficult to describe this feeling.
It's like receiving a Children's Day gift that belongs to you on a Children's Day sometime after you've grown up.
Surprise, emotion... but perhaps more than anything, it was an unexpected turn of events.
Unexpectedly, you occupy so much space in the world she creates, and even her dissatisfaction and anger when being bullied are vividly portrayed with the thoughts of a young girl.
Gu Zhibei was indeed very surprised.
The two had only known each other for about six months.
Even classmates who have spent three years together at school may not be able to greet each other warmly when they meet, let alone Jiang Youyu, who always hides in her shell and only shows her sharp spines.
In her heart, did she already consider herself a friend?
Gu Zhibei knew how to make her angry, and how to force her out of her shell to bite you viciously, but he could never hear the whispers she kept inside her shell.
But now, it seems he's heard something else.
Come and make me angry.
"That way, I'll have a reason to meet with you."
She screamed from inside, through the thick walls of the shell.
Gu Zhibei couldn't hear clearly, but that was roughly it.
No, this isn't the first time.
He suddenly recalled a memory from the past.
...
No one wants to take care of a complete stranger, even if she is an extremely beautiful girl.
Especially during this sensitive period.
Busy days, the upcoming college entrance examination, an uncertain future... no student is not anxious at this time.
Gu Zhibei was no exception.
So when he has no choice but to accept it, he may not feel disgusted, but he will certainly feel conflicted.
This feeling intensified after taking care of the girl for a while.
The carefully prepared nutritious meal was left untouched on the table; he endured the shame of massaging her but was treated like an enemy; and the trash he patiently cleaned up was deliberately dumped on the floor the next day.
No one could stand this kind of treatment; the boy's dignity was pierced with raw thorns.
Anyone who dares to trample on it will have their skin and flesh pierced.
Gu Zhibei left resolutely for three whole days. He hadn't originally planned to go back, but in the end, he couldn't resist his soft heart.
He hesitated outside the door for a long time, then pushed it open only to find the girl already waiting inside. Tears streamed down her face as she stubbornly met his gaze.
"Didn't you say you weren't coming back?"
She read the still distant words in an almost pleading tone.
Gu Zhibei remained silent outside the door for a long time.
The sharp spikes pierced the shell, drawing blood, and it was the first time he had seen the little person crying inside the shell.
"The girls at school won't let me touch their legs, so I came here."
That's what he said that day.
...
"Jiang Youyu, Jiang Youyu, when it comes to hide-and-seek, who can out-hide you?"
Seeing the girl's unconscious smile, Gu Zhibei thought to himself.
Legend has it that cats can see things that humans cannot.
Seeing it today, I can confirm it's true.
He glanced at the previous diary entry that was being covered up, and a strong urge to peek at it suddenly welled up inside him.
Like a cat that has eaten cat treats.
Once you've tried it, you can never go back.
To him, Jiang Youyu's diary was undoubtedly like a cat treat.
We need to find a way to get a glimpse of it!
Gu Zhibei glanced around and noticed a pack of tissues on the edge of the desk.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately came up with a perfect idea!
He slowly walked to the tissue, and feigned curiosity, placed his paw on it...
"Snapped!"
The tissues were pushed to the ground.
The sound immediately caught Jiang Youyu's attention. Without thinking, she bent down.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Zhibei quickly glanced at the line of text that had been covered up.
[...I couldn't help myself and did something terrible to him...Mom, please forgive me.]
Something terrible?!
Gu Zhibei's cat-like eyes widened instantly.
What exactly constitutes a bad thing?
Jiang Youyu, something's not right with you.
Judging from the freshness of the handwriting, it must have been written in the last few days.
But why doesn't he have any recollection of it? This "he" obviously can't be anyone else.
While pondering, Gu Zhibei prepared to turn to the previous page to see what was going on.
But before his paw could land on the notebook, it was grabbed by a small hand.
"After pushing away the tissues, you tried to push away my diary? Did you think I didn't see it? You naturally wicked little cat!"
Jiang Youyu pretended to pinch his face hard and scolded him fiercely.
Then she quickly put the diary back in the drawer and locked it with the key.
Everything returned to its original position.
Gu Zhibei's curiosity was practically bursting out of his throat, but he could only keep it inside, scratching his head in frustration.
He carefully recalled the events of the past few days, and a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.
The day before yesterday!
The day before yesterday was Saturday. Because he went to bed late on Friday night, he took a nap on the sofa in Jiang Youyu's living room.
If you were to do something terrible or shameful to him, this would be the only time that would be possible!
So, what exactly did Jiang Youyu do to me?
Gu Zhibei had a vague idea in his mind.
So, is that possibility?
Ginger-fed fish?
Ginger-fed baby fish!
You might really be acting strange!
I have to investigate you thoroughly!
Gu Zhibei's guilt about peeping into other people's secrets immediately disappeared.
He did bad things to her, but she did bad things to him too.
Although Gu Zhibei didn't know what it was, if it was described as "terrible," how could it not be terrible?
"Duo".
A soft sound interrupted Gu Zhibei's thoughts.
He looked up and saw Jiang Youyu, who had hidden the key, walking towards the bathroom in the living room, leaning on her cane.
Gu Zhibei's pupils contracted slightly; he knew his chance had come.
If he could take this opportunity to transform back into human form, he could then use the key to open the drawer.
Anyway, there's no cooldown time between turning from a human back into a cat. As long as he keeps his voice down and makes sure Jiang Youyu doesn't notice, he can accomplish all of this silently!
Of course, he had no clothes after turning back into a human.
It presents both opportunities and risks.
Once his mistake is discovered, his life will truly be over.
Should we do that?
The time allotted for thinking is very short; a decision must be made as quickly as possible.
Gu Zhibei was breathing rapidly. If cats didn't have sweat glands on their heads, he would definitely be sweating profusely!
No, that's not right!
Gu Zhibei suddenly realized a crucial point.
He doesn't know the password to the codebook!
He just happened to miss Jiang Youyu unlocking and locking her!
Depend on!
This broken codebook is undetectable by anyone, but it can stop him!
Gu Zhibei's legs went weak and he immediately collapsed onto the table.
It felt more tiring than running a 3,000-meter race.
Fortunately, I didn't act impulsively, otherwise I might not only have been discovered, but I would also have been destined to never get an answer.
We'll just have to find another opportunity later.
"Ding-dong."
Jiang Youyu's phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang.
Gu Zhibei turned his head to look.
[Doraemon: I'm done with my work. Can you open the door for the cat? It knows the way and will come back by itself.]
It turned out that he had pre-set the message to be sent.
The tabby cat shook its head and sighed, much like a human.
He's only scratched halfway through a scratch-off lottery ticket that was supposed to be the grand prize; how is he going to sleep tonight?
