[hot topic: Shao Tengfei & Xie Zian's showdown at airport!]
Attached to the news were the photos of Shao Tengfei and Xie Zian, facing each other, bearing similar clothes and accessories.
Shao Tengfei looked at the phone with slight interest.
To be honest, he does not know how the news of him on airport leaked as well as how Xie Zian was there on airport wearing same clothes as him.
If it was anyone else, Shao Tengfei would definitely think that person is doing all this deliberately for either hype or secret love. But given Xie Zian's nature none of the above were the case. That means it was purely coincidence.
Xie Zian's nature was somewhat similar to his. They both did not go for fame but their love for stage.
Given their nature of job it's hard for the two to become rivals as well. Because Xie Zian works in music industry while he is in acting industry.
Shao Tengfei didn’t want to indulge in overthinking thus he closed his eyes and lean on the backseat of the taxi.
“Sir, we've reached the destination.” the taxi driver said loudly to wake up Shao Tengfei.
Shao Tengfei opened his eyes and nodded at the driver. Silently paying the taxi fare before looking at the small villa in front of him.
This time Shao Tengfei chose a small village to visit for his vacation. After lots of research he finally rented his small house ahead of time and decided to stay there for a couple of months to regain his energy.
Feeling the fresh air around him, a slight smile appeared on Shao Tengfei's face. But that smile didn't last long as he saw Xie Zian coming out of the villa next door.
Shao Tengfei “????”
Will there be no end to these coincidences?
When he thought that Xie Zian would just ignore him as usual and go his own ways, the other party actually walked towards him and stood in front of him.
Shao Tengfei waited for the other to speak not wanting waste his energy asking stupid questions.
Sure enough, Xie Zian pulled out a bunch of keys in front of him, slowly pulling out a couple of keys and gave it to him.
“These are the keys to the villa and rooms. Look around by yourself. If you feel there's anything you need, you can call me. I am owner to the villa as well as your neighbor.”
Seeing Shao Tengfei nodding in agreement. Xie Zian also nodded and continued.
“Then I will leave first. Have a good day”
“Good day!” Shao Tengfei replied before moving towards the small villa with his luggage.
After entering the villa Shao Tengfei surveyed the house lazily and found that it was already cleaned. There were new bedsheets and curtains.
Shao Tengfei has already confirmed it with his landlord before coming here. After seeing Xie Zian, he was relieved that he work was properly done.
Because just like himself, if Xie Zian committed on doing something he would do so seriously.
Seeing the clean bed, Shao Tengfei immediately went to sleep without changing his clothes. A good sleep what he needed the most.
***
After taking a warm shower Xie Zian finally felt relived and lazily pulled out his phone to read.
He had to deal with a lot of people today and needs to relax a bit. For Xie Zian reading is just another way to relax and emptying his brain.
As he read through the article he slowly drifted to sleep.
While in his sleep Xie Zian felt something soft touching his face. Xie Zian frowned slightly and pulled the soft thing into his embrace.
When Shao Tengfei woke up he felt that there was something strange about his surrounding.
Was he still dreaming?
Shao Tengfei shook his head and rubbed his eyes to confirm. As soon as his hand reached his face he was scared.
What is this? Paws? His paws?
In the bed where Shao Tengfei was sleeping was now a slim brown kitten, which wasn't even as large as a palm. The small fluff ball rolled on the large bed for a long time.
Shao Tengfei looked at the phone screen as large as himself trying to contact anyone. The first person Shao Tengfei wanted to contact was his elder sister, Shao Qing.
After a few trials Shao Tengfei confirmed and he can't handle his phone at the moment.
“Gruuuu”
Hearing his own stomach grumbling Shao Tengfei gave up on everything and quickly decided to bother his landlord and neighbor, Xie Zian.
Looking at the open door of the small villa Shao Tengfei couldn't help but thank his past self a hundred times in his heart.
Shao Tengfei left the house for two reason. First, Xie Zian owned this property, thus, it was just Shao Tengfei and Xie Zian in this community. Second, he was too lazy to close the door.
Well, the second was more important.
Shao Tengfei unconsciously licked his nose and marched towards Xie Zian's villa. Unfortunately, Xie Zian was not lazy enough to leave the main door open.
Shao Tengfei circled around the house before finally finding the window next to garden open.
Shao Tengfei nodded happily before bravely jumping high to reach the window.
The window was just as high as a medium-sized single staircase but for a small kitten it was as high as a big wall.
“Meeeewww”
Shao Tengfei didn't expect to hit a soft pillow as he landed. What met his next was an enlarged beautiful face.
Shao Tengfei's heart skipped a bit.
Not because he was too close to the beauty but because an enlarged hand pulled him closer to the person on bed, perfectly landing him on the chest.
Shao Tengfei slowly calmed down as he listened to the rhythmic heartbeats.
“Hmm…??”
Shao Tengfei lifted his head as he heard the soft voice from the man.
Xie Zian's eyes were half open - half closed. He gently rubbed Shao Tengfei's round head and got up holding the kitten.
Shao Tengfei watched in surprise as Xie Zian mechanically pulled three bowls at once put the kitten on the tea table and place the three bowls in front of him.
Next Shao Tengfei was served with Water, milk and light flavored biscuits suitable for human as well as animals.
Shao Tengfei nodded his head towards Xie Zian wanting to thank but did not know how to do it.
Next.....
Xie Zian laid down on the sofa next to tea table and closed his eyes as if he wasn't the one who gave food to the kitten just now.
Kitten Tengfei who picked up a biscuit in his mouth: ??-??
***
Xie Zian Woke up naturally and stared at the ceiling in daze slowly collecting his thoughts.
What am I?
Ah right, why am I here?
I seem to have work... But... Food first!
Thinking of food Xie Zian got up abruptly from the sofa.
Kitten Tengfei who had no plans to return: ??-??
What's wrong with this person?
Before today Shao Tengfei has always seen Xie Zian as Talented, kind and reliable man. Although aloof, he was often ready to help others.
But after becoming a kitten, he seems to have opened the door of a new world.
After waking up Xie Zian ignored the fluff ball next to him, his mind was full of food. Xie Zian walked towards his room for his phone before coming out while talking on the call.
“Be quick, I don't want to faint from hunger... En.... En...” as soon as Xie Zian hung up the phone call he noticed a brown fluff on the sofa as well as the three bowls on the coffee table.
Kitten Tengfei who was finally noticed sighed.
Finally!! He noticed this kitten!
The next second the kitten screamed in shock as he was picked up by the curb of his neck.
This shock was surpassed by the next shock given by Xie Zian, who doesn't like to waste his words.
“This kid! Where did you come from? Are you lost? Did you run away? Where are your parents?”
A series of questions were bombarded.
Kitten Tengfei looked at Xie Zian with questionable eyes.
First of all, this kitten can't say a word. And didn't you feed this kitten silently before? What happened to you now??
Xie Zian couldn't hear the kitten's inner thoughts, he narrowed his eyes at the kitten and soon replied as if he has gotten his answers.
“Okay, I will let you stay here for a few days. Before entering the house make sure to take a bath.”
After saying for he led the kitten towards the bathroom in the living room and washed the kitten.
At first, Shao Tengfei was scared but later he realized how gentle Xie Zian was.
Xie Zian cleaned the kitten properly and let the cleaning robot clean the room, at the same time he ordered some cat food on his phone.
When the kitten was all dry the doorbell rang. It was food delivery.
Xie Zian didn't get up but opened the door with his phone, holding the brown fluff ball in another hand.
Soon a man, seemingly in his 30s entered the house with a large food takeout.
“Uncle, you got a pet!!” the man looked at Kitten Tengfei in surprise.
Song Tengfei has gotten into so many questionable situations today that he already started feeling numb as for why an older guy was calling Xie Zian uncle, who was only 24.
“Not really.” Xie Zian replied, his eyes sticking to the food.
The hint was so obvious, that the man just smiled and opened the food containers immediately.
Shao Tengfei woke up feeling uncomfortable all over. It was unknown when he slept. He looked outside the window, it was already dark outside. Next to him was Xie Zian's sleeping face, but it wasn't strangely enlarge version this time.
Shao Tengfei lifted his arms to confirm his doubt. Sure enough! He has turned back to his human form.
Q: What's next?
A: He needs to escape!
Q: how?
A: just run away silently.
Soon he encountered another problem. He was stark *****. Shao Tengfei calmly found the bathrobe next to bed and warped it around himself before quietly approaching the door.
He threw several glances at the man sleeping on the bed. Reaching the door, he threw last glance at Xie Zian before escaping.
Crossing the door was only first challenge. Because Shao Tengfei wasn't sure if there is another person in the house, he opened the window at the end of hallway and jumped out directly.
Not long after Shao Tengfei left the man inside the room slowly opened his eyes. He immediately found the kitten missing in the room. He walked outside to confirm the departure of the kitten and shook his head.
Although the kitten looked like a domestic kitten, he had a hunch that it was a wild kitten and wouldn't stay here for a long time.
Before this he would always feed stray dogs and cats time to time. But it was the first time, when a cat suddenly broke into his house. He felt slightly sad but soon thought of food and went put the kitten at the back of his mind.
Currently, it was around 7 in the evening, a perfect time for dinner. But there is no restaurant or stall close by, he has to cook by himself this time.
A few years ago, he bought franchise of a popular supermart for this village. He initially opened it for his own convenience. Unexpectedly, it started earning a decent amount.
Xie Zian pulled out his car keys and decided to go by himself instead of ordering someone to deliver.
***
Shao Tengfei's heart was filled with disappointment, there was no use of searching online, since it will only tell about mythologies.
It says he was a “Yao” a demon. But... How was that possible???
He could only give up on getting any answers and started calming down. Let's see what's going on.
He walked out of the villa planning to finding food for himself. When he came here he didn't bring his assistant with him, because he wanted peace. Once again, he thanked his past self, if not for his sudden decision he might have been considered as a demon by his own subordinate.
As soon as he walked out, he saw a black Volkswagen parked in front of Xie Zian's villa. Shao Tengfei walked out of villa gate at the same time he saw Xie Zian coming out of his own villa.
Shao Tengfei's heartbeat increased suddenly.
If it was any usual day Shao Tengfei would have just ignored the person and mind his own business. But now he wanted to thank Xie Zian. Although the other man helped him without knowing anything, he still has to repay the favor.
“Good Evening...” Shao Tengfei wasn't used to small talks and did not know how to continue. Specially when he knew that Xie Zian was the same. He would not talk unnecessarily and disliked speaking more than him.
Xie Zian nodded towards him as a greeting and spoke after a moment.
“Going out to find restaurant or grocery store?”
To his surprise, Xie Zian spoke to him naturally, without a single bit of awkwardness he imagined.
“Just want to find something quick to eat.” Shao Tengfei replied.
“You can get to the restaurant after 50 minutes drive from here. And if you want to find supermart it's just 10 minutes drive.”
Although Xie Zian didn't say anything but somehow Shao Tengfei felt his head filled with Xie Zian's voice saying 'let's go to supermarket… Let's go to supermarket'
“Supermarket then” Shao Tengfei rubbed his temple only then the voice stopped.
“Perfect!” Xie Zian showed a casual smile and continued. “I am going there too. Want to hitch a ride?”
Shao Tengfei watched as Xie Zian patted the black car in front and nodded.
What else can he do? For some inexplicable reason, he just could not say no at the moment.
