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

Chapter 180 Choosing a Cat
After chatting with Wang Shishi, Zhang Muchen felt that his brain couldn't keep up with Wang Shishi's pace.

"This guy... he always manages to come up with something new every day."

Zhang Muchen propped his head up, watching Wang Shishi's retreating figure.

This girl was the most lively of them all, and her mind was always full of unexpected thoughts.

Zhang Muchen suddenly thought that if every girl had a rating of how much she liked him, then Wang Shishi would definitely be the one who got a perfect score.

But once he had the system, he never intended to focus on just one person.

He wants everything to be perfect and comprehensive!
But
Zhang Muchen rubbed his chin.

There are two formidable figures in front of him: Wang Rulong and Xu Qing.

These two individuals have powerful backgrounds and enormous wealth.

If you want to win over their precious daughters, your looks and sweet talk alone are far from enough.

"It's tough..." He sighed heavily, flipping through his English textbook page by page.

"Studying is easier than making money."

He glanced again at Chu Jiuli, who was studying diligently with her head down, and silently sighed: Forget it, I should focus on getting into a good university first. At least I'll have a competitive edge in terms of academic qualifications.

At noon, Zhang Muchen rode his electric scooter home for a nap.

After entering the room, he briefly greeted his parents and then went straight to his bedroom to lie down.

As usual, he habitually started scrolling through his phone before his afternoon nap.

He first opened his chat window with Xu Ranxi: [Xu Ranxi, are you asleep?]

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

He exited the chat and started scrolling through his Moments.

Suddenly, he saw a post from a somewhat unfamiliar account.

[Returning to China to help poor stray pets find homes]

The accompanying image is a series of photos: several dirty kittens and puppies being held in someone's arms.

"Who is this?" Zhang Muchen muttered to himself.

He clicked into the other person's account, and their chat history stopped half a month ago.

Let's look at the note: Aria.

"Oh, it's that foreign student from the last flight." He then remembered that the two of them had exchanged WeChat contacts when they got off the plane.

"Is this why she went back to China to volunteer as a pet rescuer?" Zhang Muchen wondered to herself.

However, he wasn't very interested in it and continued casually scrolling through his WeChat Moments.

Just then, a message notification sounded, and Xu Ranxi's reply popped up: [Not asleep? What?]

Zhang Muchen raised an eyebrow: [Staying up late can stunt growth.]

Xu Ranxi: [Damn it, I'm tall enough!]

Zhang Muchen: [You're alright in the South, but in the North you're not even as tall as a scallion.]

Xu Ranxi: [Baka!]

Zhang Muchen: [What are you doing so late at night?]

Xu Ranxi: [Taking care of my baby]

Zhang Muchen: [?]

The next second, several photos were sent over in succession.

He clicked on the picture, and a group of fluffy kittens, about a dozen in total, were captured in the photo.

Zhang Muchen: [Did you give birth to all of these?]

Xu Ranxi: [.]

Hey you, I rescued all these cats.

Zhang Muchen: [Have they been vaccinated? Be careful not to get scratched.]

Xu Ranxi looked at the message, a slight smile playing on her lips, and scoffed, "So you do know how to care about me."

I gave them their shots, and they're very well-behaved; they don't scratch me.

Zhang Muchen: [Can you manage to raise so many cats all by yourself?]

Xu Ranxi: [Just give them water and some cat food, it's that simple.]

Zhang Muchen: [Oh... I've also been considering getting a cat recently.]

Xu Ranxi: [Tch, you should figure out how to take care of yourself first.] Zhang Muchen: [I take very good care of myself. I'm 1.85 meters tall and get plenty of nutrition.]

[And Aunt Xu Qing lives right across the street, she can help me take care of the cat.]

By the way, do you have any recommendations for cats?

Xu Ranxi: [Do you want a breed that sheds a lot or a little?]

【.】

The two chatted like this, and the conversation became more and more lively.

Zhang Muchen looked at the screen and smiled, "Tsk tsk, cats are indeed a universal topic, this girl took the bait immediately."

The first step, talking about pets, was a success.

Zhang Muchen's next plan is to go to a cat cafe to choose a cat, and have Xu Ranxi help him choose one via video call.

Then he let Xu Ranxi raise cats online, gradually building a relationship, and then naturally lured her back to China.

However, Zhang Muchen quickly realized a problem.

"If she really wants to go back to China, what will happen to these cats?"

Xu Ranxi is so protective of cats, she certainly wouldn't leave them unattended so easily.

He stared at the chat box and typed: "Xu Ranxi, you have so many cats, what will you do if you go back to China? Who will take care of them?"

Xu Ranxi: [If we want them to return to China, we need to find them a shelter first, but the ones in Boston are all full.]

Zhang Muchen: [I know a volunteer who can shelter cats.]

Xu Ranxi: [Do you know any volunteers in China who can be brought to the US?]

Zhang Muchen: [Xu Ranxi, the person I know is a volunteer from the United States.]

After sending the message, he opened his WeChat Moments and quietly saved the pictures of Ailiya rescuing cats that he had just seen, and sent them to Xu Ranxi.

This volunteer is also based in Boston; she's involved in rescue and rehabilitation work for stray cats.

If you'd like, I can help you contact her.

On the other side of the ocean, Xu Ranxi sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the message on her phone for a few seconds.

She clicked on the photos and looked through them one by one.

In the picture, dirty kittens are gently held in arms, each with a peaceful expression. In the background, the name of a newly established shelter appears.

"It seems to be the new station mentioned in the news a while ago..."

She frowned, trying to dredge up more information from her memory.

I've been busy with schoolwork and exams lately, so I haven't been paying much attention to social media and local news.

However, she soon noticed something.

Although these photos were taken from different locations, they have one thing in common—the volunteer in every photo is the same girl.

She has light blonde hair, a high nose bridge, and well-defined features; she is very beautiful.

"Where did she meet this girl from?" Xu Ranxi wrinkled her nose.

"How can you meet foreign girls so far away from Boston?"

She tapped on the screen: 【How did you two meet?】

Zhang Muchen: [Oh, we met on a plane, chatted briefly, and then added each other on WeChat. Later, after she returned to China, I only found out she was doing volunteer work there.]

【Since your cat needs adoption, I thought of her】

Xu Ranxi: [Who said my cat needs to be adopted?]

I want to keep my cat here forever.

Zhang Muchen stared at the message sent by Xu Ranxi and chuckled softly.

Okay, you can keep the cat there.

If you really can't bear to part with those cats, then adopt some more.

But you have to do me a favor—

Xu Ranxi typed instinctively: 【What is it?】

Zhang Muchen: [Come with me online in a couple of days to choose a cat at the cat cafe]
