The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 174 Three-Year Agreement
Boston, USA.

The morning sunlight streamed into the bathroom through the blinds, and the air was filled with the refreshing scent of mint toothpaste.

Xu Ranxi was brushing her teeth in front of the mirror, wearing pajamas, white foam clinging to the corner of her mouth. As she lowered her head, a drop of toothpaste foam slid precisely down her chin and landed right on her chest.

Xu Ranxi frowned slightly and took a tissue to wipe away the drop of toothpaste.

As she moved, her gaze fell on the mirror, lingering on the outline of her chest.

"It seems like...he's developed?"

She turned slightly to the side, unbuttoned her pajamas, and reached out with a hint of curiosity to lift them up and compare them from top to bottom.

She knew very well that she used to be B.

But now... it's vaguely taking on the shape of C?
Xu Ranxi blinked, a hint of smugness creeping onto her lips.

"It doesn't matter if you're not tall; when God closes a door, he always opens a window."

Xu Ranxi happily rinsed her mouth, dried her face, and returned to her room to begin her full skincare routine.

After finishing her skincare routine, she plopped down on the edge of the bed, opened her phone to check messages, and swung her fair feet back and forth.

As soon as I opened WeChat, there was a red dot on the top-pinned chat box with Zhang Muchen.

[Xu Ranxi, do you remember you owe me a meal? Aren't you coming back to make it up to me?]

Looking at the message, Xu Ranxi rolled her eyes: "Tch, do you want me to go back to China?"

She quickly typed out: 【Just you wait】

The message was sent, but there was no response for a long time.

She calculated the time; it was almost 11 o'clock back home.

"I bet he's already in bed like a little pig."

Xu Ranxi snorted, tossed her phone onto the pillow, and then walked to the wardrobe to pick out her outfit for the day.

Five minutes later, standing in front of the mirror was a fluffy and cute girl.

A white fluffy short jacket paired with a light pink plaid skirt, thick leggings, long white socks, and a white woolen hat.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she nodded with satisfaction: "Little kitty, Mommy's here."

She picked up her small bag and walked lightly on the wooden floor.

Today, she's going to her friend's house to see the cat.

It was a small detached house where she and her friend had adopted many stray cats. But just a month ago, her British friend suddenly returned to China, and the task of taking care of these kittens fell to Xu Ranxi.

It was also because of these cats that Xu Ranxi didn't immediately return to China. If she left, these kittens would likely end up homeless again.

Although there are shelters in the United States, most of them are overcrowded with cats.

So she won't leave until she has found a new home for each of the cats.

The next day at noon, sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains, and the room was quiet.

Zhang Muchen was sitting on the edge of the bed playing on his phone, with a girl who looked like a middle school student sitting next to him.

She had short hair, thick and long eyelashes, and her eyes were focused on the English test paper.

Squeak.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Director Wang walked in with a smile, carrying two fruit platters.

"Teacher Zhang, you've worked so hard. Have some fruit and rest." He said, handing one of the fruit platters to Zhang Muchen.

"Thank you, Director Wang." Zhang Muchen accepted the gift and nodded with a smile.

Another fruit platter was placed in front of the little girl.

"Weiwei, take a break, have some fruit, don't overwork yourself."

Wang Kewei looked up and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Zhang Muchen sat on the edge of the bed, eating fruit and watching videos.

He has been coming to Director Wang's house almost every weekend this semester to tutor Wang Kewei in English. He has long been familiar with the place and is not at all reserved.

While I was eating fruit, a light, quick clawing sound came from the living room, and a small white figure nimbly darted into the bedroom.

The white Ragdoll cat leaped lightly and jumped into Zhang Muchen's arms. "Mika, did you miss me?" Zhang Muchen felt the softness in his arms, smiled, put down his phone, and stroked the cat's fur.

The kitten nestled in his arms, motionless, enjoying his caresses.

“Mika has gotten fat.” Zhang Muchen gently lifted the cat up and weighed it in his hand.

"I've been eating a bit too much lately," Director Wang said.

"Such an expensive cat, let it eat as much as it wants," Zhang Muchen joked. "A Ragdoll must cost over ten thousand, right?"

"Hmm." Director Wang nodded. "But I didn't pay for this one; I got it from my brother."

"You want it?" Zhang Muchen raised an eyebrow. "Brother Wang, does your brother own a pet shop?"

"It's not a pet shop, it's a cat café. It's over on East Street, called Star Wish Cat Café. What, Xiao Zhang, you want to get a pet too?" Director Wang smiled. "If you want one, I'll have my brother give you one. You can pick one out at the store."

Zhang Muchen rubbed his chin.

He wasn't particularly interested in keeping cats, but
Zhang Muchen recalled the image of Xu Ranxi as a child, holding a kitten and smiling happily.

That girl has loved cats and dogs since she was little, so why don't we give her one when she goes back to China?

This could be considered a hook that lured her back.

"Brother Wang, I'll visit your brother's cat café when I have time. A friend of mine really loves kittens."

"Sure. Let me know in advance when you're going, and I'll call my brother so you can choose whatever you want."

“That won’t do, we have to buy the cat.” Zhang Muchen waved his hand. “We can’t take it empty-handed.”

"Xiao Zhang, don't be so polite with my brother." Director Wang said earnestly, "You raised Weiwei's English from 50 to 85. This improvement in grades can't be bought with just ten or twenty thousand yuan."

“My brother loves Weiwei even more than I do. He’s heard that you’ve been tutoring her for a long time and has been saying he wants to thank you.”

"Besides, I'm just taking advantage of my own brother, so it doesn't hurt me."

Zhang Muchen: "."

Okay, okay, Brother Wang. The last sentence is the important one, isn't it?

"Alright, Brother Wang. Then I won't stand on ceremony with you and your brother."

Director Wang smiled and nodded: "I stewed some fish in the kitchen. Stay for lunch. Good luck with your studies, Weiwei. I won't disturb you anymore."

After saying that, he quietly closed the door.

Zhang Muchen sat back on the bed and casually opened the map to search for the location of the cat cafe. It was indeed on Dongda Street, not far from home; she could stop by on her way back.

Just then, Wang Kewei suddenly turned her head and asked, "Brother Mu Chen, you just said you have a friend who likes cats, is she your girlfriend?"

Zhang Muchen was taken aback by the question: "No, no, your brother Muchen is still single."

Wang Kewei said "Oh," her eyes sparkling, and suddenly asked, "Then... if I don't have a girlfriend, does that mean I have a chance?"

"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Muchen choked on the juice from the bitten grape.

He coughed as he looked at Wang Kewei: "Cough cough. Wei, Weiwei, what are you saying? You need to focus on your studies now and get into No. 1 Middle School."

"I know," Wang Kewei smiled sweetly. "Once I get into No. 1 High School, I can become your junior. It won't be too late to pursue you then, right?"

"..."

Zhang Muchen silently got up, walked to the door, opened the door, and peeked into the living room.

Director Wang was busy in the kitchen, the range hood was roaring, and he obviously couldn't hear what was happening here.

He gently closed the door, turned around, and saw Wang Kewei blinking and staring at him.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not interested in anything illegal." Zhang Muchen stepped forward and gently tapped her head.

Wang Kewei held her head and whispered, "Then...I'll pursue my brother again in college."

Zhang Muchen rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath: "Fine, you can pursue me however you want after you go to college. But it's a deal, you have to get into No. 1 High School and then a good university. Don't come chasing me after you only have a junior college diploma, I won't accept that."

Wang Kewei's eyes lit up: "Okay. Then I'll make a three-year promise with my brother. If I get into university, I'll go after him."

Zhang Muchen picked up Wang Kewei's completed test paper, flipping through it while silently sighing:
"Alright, the three-year agreement... Anyway, I'm surrounded by a bunch of girls, so one more won't make a difference."
