Chapter 8

  At night, the pet store closes.

  The stingy and reluctant person who refused to turn on the heater went home from work, leaving only a hamster to entertain itself.

  That day, humans finally remembered the fear of being surrounded by fluffy giant mice.

  Watching the other hamster brothers huddled together for warmth, each hamster seems to not care that their face is squeezed into a shapeless pancake, and their butt is squeezed from "O" to "one". They chirp and chatter, discussing who will be the first to run on the wheel tomorrow; discussing how delicious today's big brother was...

  As a (former) elegant superstar, he sat quietly in the corner of his glass box, spending an entire night contemplating how he had become a hamster - and no matter how hard he thought about it, he always felt that the culprit was Jiang Luocheng, that turtle.

  For example, if Jiang Luocheng didn't insist on playing a hamster spirit but instead played some other cat or dog spirit, he might still be able to rely on his human intelligence and return to the entertainment industry as a "genius cat/dog" - now he's just a hamster, the camera pans over and can't find him anywhere, with so many people on set it's possible for someone to accidentally step on him and kill him.

  For example, if it wasn't for Jiang Luocheng, Jin Ran might have simply turned back and taken the road closer to the auto factory instead of insisting on taking the special passage - oh right, not taking the return route is just a pretentious thing to say, who doesn't want to go home after work in the evening? - So, if he wasn't stimulated to take that special passage, he wouldn't have been hit in the face by the billboard.

  A billboard with Xu Qianqian's face printed on it hits her own face.

  I think there probably isn't a more humiliating way to die in this world.

  What evil has he done?

  "Hey, eighth brother, why aren't you saying anything?" The hamster who liked to talk about philosophy and had spoken with Jian Ran during the day came over, "Are you regretting not going to eat with big brother this morning?"

  "......No," he said calmly, lifting his paw to scratch his ear, "can you stop thinking about eating your big brother?"

  "What, you also think that eating radish is scary? I do too, but I don't dare to tell others. If they find out, they will laugh at me for losing the honor of being a hamster." The philosophical hamster came over, twitched his whiskers, and asked with a mysterious face, "What are you thinking?"

  "I think..."

  What glory is there in being a mouse?

  Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly thought of something very important. Meanwhile, by the glass jar on the wall, a hamster that had been stuck there for an entire afternoon and half the night finally moved. It stood up on its hind legs, stretched out its paws, dug around its belly, and then touched its own buttocks.

  Prominent scent glands: GET.

  The thing that is relatively far from that thing: GET.

  Round butt: GET.

  He let out a sigh of relief, reassured that he had successfully preserved his masculine image - although he had no idea what the point of preserving this "masculine image" was, but he believed that if at this moment he discovered that he not only turned into a hamster but also became a female hamster, he would very likely throw open his arms and shout loudly to those big pancake faces in the corner: "Hey guys, want to come and eat Ba Mei?"

  Now he doesn't have the urge to die temporarily - it's obvious that when people are desperate, their demands will become particularly low, and a little bit of trouble can make you feel comforted - for example, if someone asked him in the past "If you wake up one day and find that your mouth has turned into a hamster's mouth, what would you do?", he might have put the person's head in the toilet without hesitation.

  At this moment, the philosophical mouse asked "Eighth brother, what are you doing digging your own bird" and Jianran was still very calm, turning that headless brain around and saying: "Nothing, I'm just digging."

  The philosophical mouse said: "Will emptying it make you happy?"

  He replied with a straight face: "Delighted, extremely delighted."

  The philosophical mouse revealed an expression of "I didn't think you were so vulgar", shook its head, twitched its butt, and slowly crawled away from Jianran's side - the surroundings suddenly became quiet again. Jianran thought quietly for a while about what to do next, then discovered he had no idea what to do, became desperate for a moment, and finally realized he was hungry.

  Because I didn't eat with Big Brother during the day, so...

  Just kidding.

  He's just simply hungry.

  Although desperate, can't starve oneself.

  Then he carefully dug a millimeter deep into the wood shavings and scooped out a melon seed.

  He held the melon seeds that might not have been enough to fill his teeth before, and gnawed at them for three minutes - fragrant, crispy, overflowing with oil, an irresistible temptation. He almost shed tears when he finished eating that one melon seed, lamenting how he had never discovered how delicious melon seeds were before. After finishing that melon seed, he silently dug out another one from under his feet. This time, he held the melon seed in his hand for three seconds, and by the time he realized what he was doing, he had already successfully stuffed it into his cheek pouch.

  He knew hamsters could stuff things.

  But unexpectedly, the melon seed entered the cheek pouch and didn't stay there as expected, but instead slid back without taking up any space - this piqued Jianran's interest. He dug his small claws into his face, first pulling and stretching his elastic and resilient cheeks. When he pulled his face from "o_o" to "o___________o", he found that his body had also changed from "I" to "(________)".

  Jian Ran: "......"

  Originally, hamsters' bodies on both sides also have a strong lifting effect, which can be separated from the body to store food. When laid flat, they can wrap around the earth three times.

  It's so interesting, haha.

  Silently, he scooped out the melon seed from his mouth and silently gnawed on it, ignoring the enthusiastic invitations of "Eight brothers come to squeeze" from the robust mouse brothers beside him. With a safe mentality of "who knows if you will eat me while I'm sleeping", the newly formed hamster, Jianran, slept in the corner of the glass jar with an uneasy and excited (not really) mood for the whole night.

  ……

  The next day dawned bright.

  He cautiously opened his round and shiny little eyes, and the first thing he saw was a big mouse frantically running on the nearby treadmill. He had reluctantly accepted the fact that "waking up from a nightmare doesn't make it go away" and had just picked up a melon seed when he encountered a new challenge...

  This challenge does not come from within the hamster itself.

  But from wicked men - the same kind as he once was.

  It was probably a Saturday, after the stingy pet store owner opened up. From afar, Jian Yan saw a primary school student skipping along while holding his mother's hand, coming to stand in front of the cage filled with hamsters. With paws covered in sticky sugar syrup, he slapped the glass container, creating a deafening crash that left Jian Yan stunned and staring at the huge mouth opening right before his eyes.

  "Mom, I want to raise a mouse!"

  He could even see the decayed teeth in his mouth.

  In an instant, the three words "Xiong Hai Zi" flashed into his mind.

  Bear child = likes small animals but can't raise them = buys small animals and tortures them to death with excessive force or excitement = damn it!

  He hastily retreated, all the way back to his equally frightened hamster companions. This time he didn't have time to worry whether these guys would eat him or not. He was certain that compared to being killed by his former kind, he'd rather not be eaten - after hiding what he thought were his most charming parts - his cute round butt - under the fur of his brother's hideout, Jian Yan poked out his head and heard the conversation between the pet store owner, the bear child's mother, and the bear child outside.

  The mother of the naughty bear: "This dirty thing, don't raise it."

  "Kitty wants to raise a mouse! Wants a mouse! Feed it rice and give it a bath, teach it to box!"

  Eat and take a bath, and still boxing!

  Do you think it's Kung Fu Panda or Ninja Turtles!

  He was horrified to hear the irresponsible shop owner repeating: "This hamster is easy to raise and not dirty, it will wash itself with bath sand - now hamsters are on sale for 10 yuan each, and if you buy one now, we'll throw in a small cage. Why don't you buy one for your kid, sister? Small animals can help cultivate children's love and sense of responsibility!"

  Jian Ran: "......"

  For ten bucks, people are willing to sacrifice their basic integrity as humans.

  She hesitated for a moment, probably guessing that this little thing wouldn't last long either. Then she said impatiently, "Well, pick one out for me, make it a lively one."

  As soon as he heard this, he immediately fell down - spread out - and pretended to be a dead fat man.

  Shop owner: "Sister, you don't understand, lively ones are not good, hamsters should be fat and lazy, lively ones might bite people!"

  Before the shopkeeper's words had fallen, people saw a small shadow in the glass box jumping up quickly with an unparalleled speed, rushing towards the running wheel, agile and nimble, leaping onto it, stretching out its paws to pull down another of its kind that was still running on top, then monopolizing the running wheel, running desperately!

  Run, hamster, run!

  "What a joke! Back in the day, I was at least a big shot in the entertainment industry. How could I possibly be surpassed by someone with such mediocre acting skills?"

  "Mommy, look! A hamster that can run on a wheel! It's so cute! I want it!"

  "Seriously: …………………………… I'm done!"

  How can there be such an evil thing in this world!!!!!!!!!!

  At this moment, of course, no one knows that the hamster on the running wheel is about to go crazy. On the other hand, Mommy Bear is clearly not at ease and worried.

  So lively " hamsters really bite their own babies, and the owner looked at each other, just about to persuade the child to give up, when they suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound from behind, turned around to see that at this moment, a large red spray-painted heavy motorcycle with a cool tailgate slammed on the brakes in front of the pet store!

  The motorcycle stopped, and a long leg came down to step on the ground.

  At the same time, the owner of the motorcycle took off his helmet to reveal a spirited short haircut, piercing blue eyes and a high nose bridge. Under the gaze of the pet store owner, the mother of the bear child and the bear child himself, it was clear that this handsome young man had foreign blood. His eyes scanned around the pet store before stopping at a glass tank filled with hamsters.

  He paused for a moment.

  Then slightly furrowed her brow.

  After a moment, as if he had made a series of struggles and hesitations, the handsome young man finally spoke up in his low, richly magnetic voice: "Boss, catch me a hamster, make it a male."

  I want to comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Rolling on the ground and refusing to give in!!!!!!!!!
