You call this beast taming?

Chapter 44 Hello, Goodbye

"Ah Xu!"

After school, an excited Yuan Jingfan caught up with Wen Zhixu, who was on his way to help out at the orphanage.

"Huh?"

Erliang rummaged through the zipper of his backpack and poked his head out.

"The electric mouse has arrived!"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhixu looked surprised.

So fast?

Although several days have passed since Yuan Jingfan told him he was going to tame his first pet, this is actually quite fast.

Normally, unless you go to the breeding center and immediately fall in love with a pet, it's quite normal to wait for half a month or even three or four months.

Actually, at this point, it wasn't a good thing for Yuan Jingfan to tame the initial pet beast.

After all, the college entrance exam is just around the corner, so it's best to focus on studying.

Now, after school, he helps out at welfare homes and other similar places while also taking advantage of the system's benefits, and he doesn't even call on Yuan Jingfan anymore.

but.

Aside from some worries, Wen Zhixu also felt a bit of anticipation.

He glanced at the baseball cap Da Tou was wearing, pursed his lips, and wondered if he could find a different way to continue exploiting the system. This was his chance.

The two boarded a bus bound for the Pingjiang training base.

Throughout the journey, the excited Yuan Jingfan chattered incessantly.

"Ah Xu, I've heard that some pets are very obedient, while others have bad tempers. Is that true?"

"Pets are living beings with their own intelligence and emotions, so it's normal for them to get angry."

"Ah Xu, how should I train the Electric Mouse? I've done a lot of research, and the internet says that when Electric Mice get angry, they can't control their electric current and can easily shock their Beastmasters too. Is that true?"

"Electric electricity is healthier. Electric current can stimulate cells. Who knows, you might become a superman in a year!"

"Really?"

"you guess."

"Ah Xu, how can I become as powerful as you? The other day, you and Er Liang dealt with the low-level transcendent ancient tree guardians..."

Wen Zhixu opened his eyes helplessly. "Big brother, you're fucking a bit too excited."

"Waaah~"

Erliang, however, remained oblivious, perched on the windowsill, humming leisurely.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it had plugged its ears with its own fur!

Using "thick fur" to make earplugs, what a genius, no, a dog genius...

"I'd like to, but I'm just too excited." Yuan Jingfan understood, but he couldn't control himself. "Do you think I should call my parents over?"

Wen Zhixu: "..."

Help!

He ran his hands through his hair, leaning back against the chair.

Ok?

But as he looked up, he suddenly noticed a... somewhat familiar face, and a pair of bright eyes were also looking at him.

"Wen Zhixu." Gu Xiaoli spoke first, clearly having noticed Wen Zhixu and Yuan Jingfan long ago.

"You..." Wen Zhixu moved his lips, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

It's all that damn Yuan Datou's fault. He's been nagging me ever since I got on the bus, and he didn't even notice that Gu Xiaoli was on the bus.

"Huh?"

Erliang seemed to sense something, turned his head to look, and tilted his head to the side.

Who is it? Why are there two buns on their head?

"Is this your pet?" Gu Xiaoli's eyes lit up when she saw Erliang tilting its head and looking adorably dazed.

As expected, no girl can escape Erliang's "palm".

「Wow~~（ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ）」

Erliang pawed at his paws, seemingly trying to confirm whether the "bun" on Gu Xiaoli's head was real.

However, Gu Xiaoli misunderstood and hugged him directly.

"Ah, this feels so good..."

Putting everything else aside, after being trained by Wen Zhixu, Erliang's hand feel is indeed impeccable.

Wen Zhixu has even stopped using pillows during this period.

"Waaah~"

The little guy stared intently at Gu Xiaoli's bun hairstyle and smacked his lips twice.

Can I take a bite?

"Huh?!"

At this moment, Yuan Jingfan, who was sitting next to Wen Zhixu, finally reacted and turned to see Gu Xiaoli with a shocked expression.

Especially after seeing that Gu Xiaoli was carrying two liang, his eyes lingered meaningfully on Wen Zhixu and Gu Xiaoli.

"That damn Wen Zhixu, he actually kept this from me..." Yuan Jingfan thought to himself, then suddenly rubbed his head and said in a rather exaggerated manner:

"Gu Xiaoli, can I switch seats with you? I'm feeling a bit carsick and need some fresh air!"

Wen Zhixu: "..."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoli paused, glanced at Wen Zhixu, and then at Yuan Jingfan.

Isn't Wen Zhixu sitting by the window? Why don't you just switch places with him?

Wen Zhixu, who immediately understood the meaning in Gu Xiaoli's eyes, was speechless and kicked Yuan Jingfan in annoyance.

"You get carsick on the bus? Don't throw up on me!"

"How about... I switch with you?" Gu Xiaoli didn't see through Yuan Jingfan's acting skills. She felt that since they were classmates, it was really not good to make someone feel carsick, so she asked tentatively.

Yuan Jingfan winked at Wen Zhixu.

Brother, that's all I can do for you. Remember to call me "Dad" when you get off the bus.

Wen Zhixu: "..."

Ignoring this clown, he changed the subject, asking, "Where's your pet?"

I hadn't had a chance to speak with them before, and I couldn't ask about the factors that triggered the system's mission. Although it was a bit awkward this time because of Yuan Jingfan, at least I got to talk to them.

"Gu Xiaoli also has a pet?" Yuan Jingfan's eyes widened.

Wait! How did Ah Xu know?

really!

That damn Wen Zhixu!

"Hmm...it doesn't really like strangers, especially in the Beast Taming Space," Gu Xiaoli said.

Wen Zhixu nodded, snatched Erliang from the bowl that was about to be licked, and gained a clearer understanding of the system's judgment method and his own guesses.

"It seems to like me quite a bit..." Gu Xiaoli said with a regretful expression after Erliang was taken away.

"It likes your head, no, your hair..." Wen Zhixu thought to himself, and asked:

Where are you going?

"Let's go to the city library."

As the college entrance examination approaches, schools are becoming more relaxed in their teaching and management to avoid putting too much pressure on students. However, good students like Gu Xiaoli will still go back to study hard.

"What a coincidence, it's us too," Wen Zhixu said with a smile.

"Huh?" Yuan Jingfan was taken aback.

Aren't we going to the training base?

She quickly realized what she meant and hurriedly said, "Ah, right, right, that's right, let's go to the library too. I love learning, and learning loves me."

Wen Zhixu rubbed his forehead.

Soon, the bus stopped at the city library stop, and the three of them got off.

The elderly people on the bus looked at them with satisfaction. Three good children who love to learn! They should really let their own children come and learn from them!

"Let's go."

Eager to see his pet beast but also worried about affecting his brother's marriage, Yuan Jingfan seemed somewhat distracted.

However, Wen Zhixu did not move, but instead called out to Gu Xiaoli.

"Gu Xiaoli, we were in the same car, can you do me a favor?"

"What?"

"Just refuse whatever I say later."

"Huh?"

"You can just refuse."

"Okay, fine..."

Taking a slight breath, Wen Zhixu said, "Gu Xiaoli..."

"Want to have a beast-taming battle?"

Gu Xiaoli & Yuan Jingfan: "?"
