"You didn't bring every cat you saw at school here to keep as a pet, did you?"
"No...it's just a specific batch."
"specific?"
Then Guang Chen saw Shan Yimo slowly squat down, first put the white cat on the ground, spread her hands, and face the group of cats. Then she saw that seven or eight of the dozen or so cats came over, and one of the cats even took the initiative to rub its little head against Shan Yimo's trouser leg.
"That's why I'm taking it with me."
Oh... I see. No wonder they're not afraid of strangers. The first prerequisite for feeding them is that they can't be cats that hiss or stretch out their claws when they see people. Those are beyond help. The core of feeding cats is to soothe our tired souls through feeding them. Finally, if you're going to treat them like emperors, then Guangchang thinks you should kick the keyboard man instead of the keyboard cat.
The cats not only responded to Shan Yimo's affectionate meows, but some even huddled around Guangchang's feet, rolling around and exposing their bellies.
It provides emotional value! What a great cat!
Guangchang also squatted down and stroked them. He noticed that the cats not only smelled nice, but their fur was also specially groomed. He even saw a cat that was missing two front paws, but it moved very quickly.
"That cat..."
"Its name is Overlord."
"Overlord? What kind of name is this, meaning 'disabled but determined'?" It's common to give a person with a physical disability a grand title, which not only encourages them but also allows them to be seen by others and become a role model.
"No, that's not what I meant. I just thought that the way it stood up and charged forward without two front legs looked like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, so I named it Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"Hey, give me back the little respect I showed you just now!"
"After a while, I will install two robotic arms on it, and then it will be able to walk normally."
"real or fake?!"
"I was just kidding." Shan Yimo turned her head and met Guang Guangchen's eyes.
The air became very quiet for a moment.
Indeed, the essence of humor lies in the fact that if the speaker doesn't laugh, it can be so absurd that it makes you want to laugh.
Guangchang stroked the cat, then turned to look at the classroom door and found Nuanxin still standing there, clinging to the door frame with both hands, showing no intention of coming in.
"Aren't you going to pet this nice cat?"
"No, boss," Chen Nuanxin denied with a pained expression, telling her to just wait there.
Over the next ten minutes, Guangchang Chen lingered there for a while. He and Shan Yimo didn't talk about anything other than cats, including the president. It seemed that Shan Yimo was in a pretty good mood recently, even able to crack such a lame joke with him.
"Alright, that's about it. Come back another time if you have the chance." Guangchang straightened his back, but the so-called "another time" was just a polite remark. As he said, he preferred dogs to cats, and this time it was just because of the novelty of meeting a nice cat.
"Hmm." Shan Yimo responded softly, still holding a cat in her arms. She then walked straight past Guang Yuchen to the classroom door, pointed to the side, and said, "I'll put the key in the recess of this window. You can open the door yourself if you want."
Um... actually, you don't need to take this polite remark seriously at all.
"Okay, I understand." Guang Guangchen nodded, and then Shan Yimo returned to the classroom, while Guang Guangchen and Shan Yimo left.
Come to think of it, no wonder Shan Yimo is said to be the most mysterious among the core members of the entire student council. It turns out that she spends her free time alone in an empty classroom, spending time with these cats. You can't see her anywhere else, so how could she not be mysterious?
In the past, Shan Yimo also mentioned that she did not like humans, which would make her interactions with others shallower and shallower. Without the intervention of Yan Xingmeng and Lao Sun, it is hard to imagine how cold-hearted Shan Yimo would have become.
“Warm-hearted…” Guangchang Chen turned around to talk to Nuanxin, but found that Nuanxin was standing more than three meters away from him.
"What are you doing?"
"Go wash your hands first, boss. Also, you're covered in cat hair," Chen Nuanxin said, frowning.
Guang Guangchen stared at her blankly, then took a step towards her. Chen Nuanxin took a step back, then another step forward, then another step back. Then Guang Guangchen started running, and Chen Nuanxin started running too.
Please don't run around in the hallways!
As the two were killing time with their silly antics, Shan Yimo's voice rang out from behind them again. Because this area had long been abandoned, even a slightly loud voice in the stairwell could be heard from a great distance.
Guangchang stopped and turned around. He saw Shan Yimo slowly walking towards him. When she got close, she handed him a lint roller and said, "Here, take this."
Guangchang was stunned for a moment, then expressed his gratitude after two seconds, took the lint roller, and Shan Yimo didn't say a word before turning around and going back.
Although Secretary Shan is a bit aloof, she's a good person at heart... I still vividly remember that night when I was standing in the cold wind in the emergency exit next to my house. She always treated everyone with indifference, and her favorability rating for me had been stable at around 20 points. Now that it has risen to 25 points, it's not a big change.
Shan Yimo is the only senior high school student among the core members of the student council, which means she will be going to university next September. Without Yan Xingmeng and Lao Sun, she will have to make some new friends at university, which must be quite tough for her...
If only you could be a little more cheerful.
"Boss~"
"Huh?" Guangchang came back to his senses and saw Nuanxin standing in front of him with her hands outstretched.
Needless to say.
Guang Guangchen then handed her the lint roller. The scene shifted, and Guang Guangchen was already standing in front of the sink washing his hands with hand soap, while the diligent younger brother Chen Nuanxin peeled off a layer of adhesive paper and rolled it back and forth on his boss's clothes, not allowing a single cat hair to be left!
……
As soon as the school bell rang, while other students went home, Guang Guangchen, Chen Nuanxin, and Zhou Qianwen's review time had just begun. So far, Guang Guangchen had maintained a three-person group review for five days a week, plus three special tutoring sessions with Miss Jiang every week. "I don't believe I can't beat you, Nuanxin, hehehehehe."
"Oh, all correct! Guang, you've made great progress lately. Did you enroll in any extra tutoring classes?" Zhou Qianwen asked, slightly surprised, as she graded the exercises.
"Tutoring classes?" Upon hearing this word, Chen Nuanxin's ears twitched. When she turned her head, her eyes had become empty and deep. "Boss, have you signed up for tutoring classes?"
Guangchang shuddered, swallowed hard, and immediately said, "How could that be? We were playing together the week before last. Weekends are definitely for entertainment."
“Oh, that’s true.” Chen Nuanxin nodded.
"Is that what it usually is? For example..." Zhou Qianwen paused, looked at Guang Yuchen, and whispered, "Is Jiang Xintong tutoring you?"
Holy crap! It hit the correct answer right away.
Hearing this question, Chen Nuanxin's eyes became even more vacant, as if she were sinking into a bottomless quagmire. Chen Nuanxin put down her pen, slowly leaned closer, and said in a deep voice, "So, Boss, you've been secretly studying behind my back... Ah..."
Hey! Stop it, you're turning evil!
Guangchang's legs were trembling uncontrollably, but he was trying his best to remain calm. Chen Nuanxin had even pressed his forehead against his temple, her gaze fixed intently on him...
"No, Nuanxin, really no." Guangchang felt his smile was fake, and he was sure Nuanxin would see through him soon. Should he prepare an apology? Just as Guangchang was thinking in that direction, he saw Nuanxin pull her head back and her face return to a bright smile.
"Yeah! I believe in you, boss! It seems you've improved again. I have to work hard too!" Chen Nuanxin nodded emphatically, her smile as warm as the winter sun. Guangchang Chen was so impressed that he didn't even move.
Yeah, I'm so damn awful.
Guangchang ultimately came to this conclusion.
After an hour of review time, Guangchang Chen decided to treat Nuanxin to dinner to make up for his anxiety. Chen Nuanxin was naturally happy. They went to the garage, picked up the car, and left. At this time, there were not many people at the school gate. As soon as they pushed the car out, the two saw a black sedan parked not far away. Shan Yimo and Shan Yaoning were chatting there.
It seemed that Yao Ning had come to pick up her sister. Just then, Shan Yao Ning also noticed the two people at the school gate. Her eyes were instantly filled with surprise, and she quickly walked over. In addition, she was holding the white cat that her sister had given her.
Chen Nuanxin raised her right eyebrow. As Yao Ning approached, she immediately maintained a distance of one meter. Yao Ning moved closer, and she retreated.
"What's wrong? It's heartwarming," Shan Yaoning asked with great curiosity.
Chen Nuanxin raised her right hand to block the two of them, then shook her head and said, "Yao Ning, I think we've drifted apart."
The next second, Guangchang Chen delivered an enhanced chop to Nuanxin's forehead, explaining, "Nuanxin just doesn't like cats."
"Oh, I see. Whew, you startled me. It's been a while. We're going to eat anyway, shall we go together?" Shan Yaoning's natural smile was always so healing.
"We're fine with it."
"Okay! Let's eat together, Brother Guang."
"..."
what?
Guangchang was immediately stunned.
95. This feeling is genuine!
Brother Guang? He's not called "brother" anymore. Although there's only a one-word difference, the implications are worlds apart.
Guangchang has always believed that people don't grow up gradually with age, but rather suddenly realize something one day and suddenly grow up.
It seems Yao Ning's day has finally come. It's just a pity that she will never hear him call her "brother" again.
Guangchang gently shook his head and said, "Then let's set off."
Just then, Chen Nuanxin, who was standing nearby, also noticed the difference and asked curiously, "Yao Ning doesn't call you 'Big Brother' anymore?"
Don't ask! This is a very embarrassing question from a child's past that's still growing up!
Many of the children from relatives' families, with whom he had played well during Chinese New Year since childhood, only find their past misdeeds widening the gap between them as they grow older! No way! Guangchang doesn't want to stop being "Brother Guang" and become... Guangchang Chen! This very common title.
He's only a year older, there's absolutely no need to call him "brother"...
Guang Chen's gaze immediately fell on Shan Yao Ning, and sure enough, a look of panic appeared on Shan Yao Ning's face. Um...
Heartwarming!
However, Shan Yaoning's panic didn't seem to be because of this. After hearing this, she immediately made a shushing gesture, glanced at Shan Yimo behind her, and whispered to the two of them, "Shh! Don't let my sister hear this. She won't allow me to call her that."
Single jasmine!
I think we're no longer friends. You ruined a boy's simplest and purest dream.
Despite her dissatisfaction, her behavior is understandable. Just as Shan Yimo said last time, Yao Ning has been reading too many romance novels and has projected herself into the role of the older brother. She needs to read less of them and quit for a while, and she will improve quickly. Guangchang Chen is now checking Yao Ning's favorability rating again and finds that it has dropped to 40 points. It seems that Shan Yimo was right.
Children will eventually grow up, and it's uncertain how much of their natural traits will be retained in the future. Perhaps, just as Nuanxin said, the two sides will really drift apart.
Guangchang then got into the car behind. In the car in front, Chen Nuanxin took out her special lint roller and stuck it all over Yao Ning's body. Yao Ning was like a doll, letting Nuanxin do whatever she wanted. The car behind was much quieter. Shan Yimo was petting the cat with an indifferent expression, while Guangchang sat upright beside her. He was fine at school, but he became a little nervous after getting into someone else's car.
As for what to eat, Yao Ning and Nuan Xin decided on it after discussion. The car soon stopped in front of an Italian restaurant, and there were even people waiting at the door to greet them. It was a wonderful experience, after all, Nuan Xin was still in Shaxian County just two months ago. She never expected that her standard of living would improve so quickly.
Having booked a table in advance, the four of them sat down. Guangchang felt as if he were witnessing a familiar classic scene. Shan Yimo, sitting to his left, was speaking fluent foreign languages to the waiter, but he couldn't understand a single word. She was a super rich young lady who could speak eight languages, and even the menu contained words he didn't recognize. If a villain were to come along, wouldn't she make things difficult for him?
Chen Nuanxin's confidence stemmed from having some money in her pocket, but when the waiter told her that a can of Coke cost 79 yuan, she slowly lowered her proud head.
The atmosphere at this restaurant was quiet, as the other diners were chatting. The restaurant's main focus was on creating a pleasant ambiance, but it wasn't quite right for Nuanxin. She also couldn't understand the taste of the dishes she ordered. Nuanxin is a conservative person, and she couldn't even accept Burger King adding pineapple to their burgers!
Midway through, he kept glancing at the old man opposite him, and Guang Chen caught it precisely, giving him a subtle gesture of understanding.
Half an hour later, after finishing their meal, Guangchang even refused Shan Yimo's offer to take them home. Although their bodies were still in the restaurant, their thoughts had already drifted outside. After chatting for a few more minutes, they finally escaped from the restaurant.
Once we're out here, it's like birds soaring into the sky and fish swimming into the sea; from now on, nothing can hold us back anymore!
"Heartwarming, what would you like to eat now?"
"Boss, I want some Tustin Shock."
"no problem."
According to Chen Rui, Tastin has been offering less and less meat lately. It has remained popular due to its unique skin texture and low price, but with the decline in quality control, it seems destined to fade into obscurity soon.
Just as the two were about to slip away, a figure hurriedly walked towards them. It was Yao Ning, who was crossing the zebra crossing and coming to this side of the road.
"Walking so fast?"
"Huh? Um...we..."
"I have some things to do tonight," Guangchang replied immediately.
"Really? I thought something had made you leave in such a hurry..." Shan Yaoning easily trusted their words, and a relaxed smile finally appeared on her tense face. Then she looked up and said cautiously, "Tonight's dinner was very quiet..."
See, even Yao Ning noticed it. Guangchang Chen and Nuanxin exchanged a glance, unable to deny it either.
"Then let's eat somewhere else next time. We can have hot pot, barbecue..." Shan Yaoning said, counting on her fingers as she glanced at the two of them, observing their expressions.
Upon hearing about hot pot and barbecue, Chen Nuanxin immediately showed interest and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Seeing Nuanxin's expression, Shan Yaoning finally felt relieved. She had just been wondering if the two of them were really drifting apart... It seems that it was just her imagination!
"Mmm!" Shan Yaoning suddenly looked a little aggrieved, her eyes reddening as she nodded vigorously. Chen Nuanxin was startled, raising her hands and starting to gesticulate wildly. Huh? What happened? Huh?
"What's wrong, Yao Ning!"
"It's okay... That's so kind of you. Could you go to the convenience store next door and buy me a pack of tissues?"
"No problem!" Chen Nuanxin saluted Yao Ning and then quickly left the scene.
Only Guang Chen and Yao Ning remained. It seemed that Yao Ning still had something to say to him.
“Recently…we’ve been chatting less often…” Shan Yaoning finally managed to say this after a while, her tone tinged with sadness.
"After all, you're busy with your own things, and I've been studying really hard lately."
She's really studying really hard!
Guang Guangchen and Shan Yaoning had always maintained a harmonious communication frequency. They shared playlists and daily life, and their chats were very compatible. However, ever since Guang Guangchen witnessed Yaoning's favorability rating break through 40 points some time ago, the frequency of their chats has gradually decreased, as if the original balance between them has been broken.
“I know that! I learned about it through Nuanxin. I was too embarrassed to ask you, so I asked Nuanxin…” Shan Yaoning said softly with her head down.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're friends. You can ask me anytime if you want. And about today's incident, I'm sorry. Nuanxin and I are a little uncomfortable in this kind of setting," Guangchang Chen said, taking the initiative to apologize.
