Du Qingmei was so absorbed in feeding the cat that she didn't notice it at all. She was confused and asked, "What?"
Lu Yao walked to the kitchen with an empty plate in his hand, and said calmly, "Just now the door opened, and outside was not the sea, but a place similar to a study. It seems that the guest has gone home."
She wasn't really sure, it was just a guess, otherwise there was no way to explain where Chen Xingyu went.
!!!
Du Qingmei stood up, put down the plate, and immediately walked to the door and opened it. The sea water was still blocked by the transparent film, which was completely different from the study room described by the owner.
But there was an anemone fish outside the door, with three irregular white stripes with black edges on its orange body. It was slightly larger in size, and its mouth was opening and closing.
It seemed to be unexpected that the door would open suddenly, and its expression was a little dazed.
Anemonefish are a type of fish that live in symbiosis with sea anemones, using the anemones as cover to avoid predators and predators. They feed on plankton, crustaceans and algae around the anemones, and will not easily leave the vicinity of the symbiotic anemones.
Besides, ordinary fish that are interested in this furry shop would not stay right at the door. Du Qingmei guessed that this was also a kind of fish that swam over from the autistic fish school, and she leaned to the side, "Do you want to come in?"
The anemone fish swam up and down twice, hesitated for a moment, and began to squeeze into the door. It fell on the white sand beach and turned into a young woman with pink hair.
Qin Meng supported herself on the beach with her hands, breathing heavily, and she really turned back to normal!
She followed the mantis shrimp all the way to the outside of the furry shop, watched for a long time, and saw the mantis shrimp transform into a human after entering the shop.
Du Qingmei walked up to Qin Meng and squatted down. When she saw her appearance clearly, her eyes widened slightly.
This person looks so familiar, and my name is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't say it.
Lu Yao heard the voice and came out of the kitchen, his eyes lit up, "What a beautiful young lady."
Qin Meng stood up and looked up to see three kittens and Erxin who was licking his fur on a low table. He frowned slightly and took two steps away.
This was the main reason why I hesitated outside the store just now.
She doesn't like cats, or rather, she doesn't like anything furry. She doesn't like the smell of animals and she hates animal hair on her clothes.
Lu Yao noticed that her expression was not right: "Don't you like cats?"
"No, I just didn't expect there would be a cat cafe under the sea." Qin Meng shook his head and made up an excuse.
Even if she didn't like it, she wouldn't say it in front of the owner.
After many years of work experience, he still has some sense.
"Please sit down and enjoy. I'll go get some water." Lu Yao pretended not to notice and went back to the kitchen to pour a glass of rose and lychee sparkling water and cut a plate of fruit.
Qin Meng picked a low table next to him that was empty and leaned back to take a rest. When he saw the scenery outside the window, his eyes were dazzled.
There are actually mountains and forests outside the store, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and there seems to be a warm breeze blowing, which is very comfortable.
Du Qingmei turned around to look at her and still felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
-
As Chen Xingyu stepped out of the furry shop, his vision went dark and his consciousness suddenly became dizzy.
When I woke up again, the electronic clock on the desk showed the time was 23:53, and I had a half-read English notebook under my arm.
He smacked his forehead in frustration. Tomorrow was the midterm exam, and he fell asleep during the final review period, wasting a lot of precious time.
A small ball of fur that looked like a fried yellow potato flashed through his mind, and Chen Xingyu paused in pounding his forehead.
I seemed to have a strange dream when I fell asleep, but I can't remember it clearly.
It leaves behind a strange feeling of relaxation, which easily dispels the depressed mood in my heart.
Chen Xingyu stayed still for a few seconds, then quietly stood up to pack up his English notes, washed up, lay down on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.
He is a sophomore in high school this year. He has been studying very hard, but the results are not obvious.
He sacrificed all his time for socializing and hobbies to memorize books and practice exercises.
However, his test scores were always unsatisfactory, and because he was too focused, his classmates gave him the nickname "nerd".
In the past, he was often so nervous on the eve of exams that he could not fall asleep. He could only read to pass the time and woke up the next day with a headache.
He thought he would not be able to sleep tonight, but when he lay down in the quilt and closed his eyes, he seemed to hear a strange snoring sound beside his ears.
It's not noisy, but rather a very comfortable sound.
The sound of snoring gradually relaxed his consciousness.
When I opened my eyes again, it was dimly light outside the window.
He sat up suddenly and it was daybreak.
Chen Xingyu slept soundly that night and felt particularly relaxed both physically and mentally.
After breakfast, I entered the examination room with my stationery.
In the corridor, he met classmates from the same class who were in different examination rooms. One of them patted him on the shoulder and said, "Nerd, you stayed up all night again to review, didn't you? Can you get into the top ten in the class this time?"
Someone nearby laughed: "As for youth, the most important thing is to work hard, the result is not important at all, hahahaha."
Chen Xingyu remained silent.
Sometimes when you fail to do something no matter how hard you try, it becomes a symbol of failure.
It's worse than those who don't work hard and just make a fool of themselves.
He always understood it, but he couldn't give up completely.
The strings in my mind were always tense, and I was forced to move forward in a restless manner.
His stomach began to ache and he felt nervous again.
The image of the fried yellow potatoes flashed through my mind again, and it seemed like someone else said something.
Chen Xingyu was stunned for a moment, then his emotions strangely calmed down. He took a deep breath and walked straight into the examination room.
The bell rang and the invigilator began to distribute the test papers.
Chen Xingyu took the test paper and began to answer the questions with extremely clear thinking.
-
Qin Meng sat by the window, supporting his chin with one hand, looking at the mountains and clouds outside the window with a gloomy expression.
She doesn't like cats, but this is the only place where she can turn back into a human being. She has no other place to go.
She suddenly felt a wetness on her fingers, and she pulled her hand back abruptly, turning her head in surprise.
The little tabby cat in the store had jumped onto the table at some point and was squatting beside her hand, licking her fingers with its soft, barbed tongue.
Qin Meng frowned and looked at Tianka, took out a tissue from the tissue box and wiped the fingertips that had just been licked, her disgust was evident in her words.
Tianka walked over, raised his paw to pick up the hanging tissue, and called out in a cute voice: "Meow."
It has a pretty appearance, with round and watery amber eyes, dark gray fur on its back, a slightly white chest, and two front paws that are like white gloves. When they are raised, they look like snow-white mangosteens, so round that people want to take a bite.
Qin Meng rolled up the used tissue into a ball to prevent it from grabbing it.
Tianka thought she was playing with it, so he stood up and tried to catch it, calling out in a charming and intensive voice: "Meow~ Meow~"
Qin Meng didn't want to spoil it, so she raised her hand and threw the paper ball into the trash can, then raised her chin slightly to look at it.
Tianka didn't know what to think, he just lay down on the ground, turned over to his side and revealed his soft belly, "Meow~"
"..." Qin Meng's heart was trembling. The fur was so fluffy and should feel very soft to the touch.
Just...if I just touch it, it shouldn't be a big deal, right
She was just curious and wanted to know if the kitten's belly was as soft as she imagined.
Tianka waited for a long time, staring at Qin Meng with his black grape-like eyes, stepping on the milk in the air with his front paws and making a snoring sound.
"!!!" Qin Meng carefully stretched out her hand and gently stroked Tianlihua's soft belly. The touch was unimaginably soft, warm and tender.
Touch it once, touch it again.
Qin Meng simply reached out and held Tianka on her lap, scratching its head and chin without any instruction.
Tianka's snoring became clearer and clearer.
Lu Yao was sitting on a low table at the back, and could see all of Tianka's coquettish behavior, and he was not surprised at all.
"Ah!" Du Qingmei, who was sitting opposite Lu Yao, slapped the table and finally remembered, "You are Qin Meng!"
Qin Meng turned sideways and nodded slightly.
Lu Yao asked quietly: "Someone you know?"
Du Qingmei looked at the shop owner in disbelief, "You don't know her? She's from the idol girl group that's been very popular recently. Qin Meng is the center. She's super popular."
Lu Yao lowered his eyes: "Sorry, I'm not a fan of celebrities, so I don't know much about these."
Du Qingmei is not a fan of celebrities, so it took her a long time to recognize him. She didn't expect that the owner was even more ruthless than her.
She couldn't help but look back at Qin Meng: "You are more beautiful in person than on TV."
Qin Meng's reaction was rather calm: "Thank you."
Du Qingmei sat for a while, and couldn't help but turn around and move to Qin Meng's table, "Why are you here? Aren't idols very busy?"
Qin Meng lowered her head and gently stroked the sweet coffee with her hand.
Just when Du Qingmei thought she wouldn't answer, she said, "I had an accident on stage, broke my calf, and went to the hospital. All my activities were suspended. One morning I woke up and turned into a fish."
Du Qingmei nodded: "My situation is similar to yours, but I don't even remember what happened before I came here."
"When I first came here, I just felt that the sea water was very cold and I didn't want to move. Gradually, my body became more and more stiff, and I felt less and less willing to move. It felt good to sink to the bottom of the sea. You and the owner were picking up sea urchins under the seabed and the sound was very loud, and you were also discussing loudly how to eat them. I was a little concerned, so I tried to move my fins, and I actually swam out." Qin Meng said, "But it seems that I still can't get out."
Lu Yao heard Qin Meng's words from behind, frowned slightly, lowered his head and thought for a while, "A guest left."
Qin Meng turned sideways, leaned her back against the wall, carefully picked up Tianka who was sleeping on her legs, and looked at Lu Yao: "I saw it."
She was just outside the door when the pajama-clad boy emerged from the furry shop, looking relieved, and then disappeared.
"What did he do in the store? Why did he leave?" Qin Meng asked.
She also had to go back because of a leg injury, so her activities were suspended and the C position was temporarily given to another person in the team.
The road ahead was so bad, she couldn't be trapped in this inexplicable place.
Even if you are sick, you must find a way to maintain your temperature and not just lie down.
Lu Yao recalled, "Nothing special happened. I just ate some seafood and played with Dai Jiaopai for a while."
Qin Meng looked at Lu Yao with burning eyes, took off a gemstone gold bracelet from her wrist, and handed it to him: "Owner, give me a plate of seafood too."
She was staying in the hospital, had no money on her, and only had a bracelet.
After turning back into a human, I realized that I had brought it with me.
According to the system detection, this bracelet is made of pure gold inlaid with natural amethyst and diamonds, and is estimated to be worth 18,000 RMB.
Lu Yao: “…”
The consumption of furry shop for deep sea residents is not high.
Excluding other food and beverage expenses in the store, you can pet the furry animals in the store for an unlimited time for RMB 88.
With this 18,000 yuan, can't I buy an annual pass for the young lady
System: [Spend 100,000 popularity points to upgrade the card charging service. Do you want to upgrade? ]
Lu Yao: “…No.”
System: [The shop owner is scared. ]
Lu Yao: “…”
She has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and plans to upgrade the deep-sea fish tank first, and then has to complete it before moving on to the next step.
It’s really difficult when the popularity value is not enough.
Lu Yao wants to go out to sea to pick up garbage again.
She converted Qin Meng's jewelry into money and kept accounts, then went back to the kitchen to make a plate of fresh seafood.
Qin Meng replicated Chen Xingyu's route, eating seafood and petting cats.
When I opened the shop door, there was still the endless deep sea outside.
Qin Meng sat at the door of the store, muttering to herself: "Why not?"
Lu Yao: "Perhaps everyone's conditions for returning home are different. Don't be discouraged."
Qin Meng collapsed and held her head: "But I have to go back quickly!"
The later the time goes by, the longer she is forgotten by the public, and the harder it will be for her to return to her original position.
Tianka woke up at some point, jumped off the low table, found Luyao's direction accurately, and meowed for food.
Lu Yao went back to the kitchen to make cat food for the three kittens, and handed the sweet cat bowl to Qin Meng, "Do you want to feed it?"
Qin Meng was stunned for a moment, and looked at her eagerly.
She took the cat's food bowl, scooped up the cooked food with a small spoon, and handed it to Tianka.
The little tabby cat came close and sniffed it, then started to eat, making a "smacking" sound.
It is eaten very slowly, and it takes one or two minutes to eat a small spoonful.
After eating, it would look up at her. If she didn't move, it would come closer, tilt its head and rub her ankles, calling out to her in a delicate voice.
Qin Meng simply sat on the floor and fed it spoonful by spoonful, and her brows gradually relaxed.
She had never watched a small animal eat so carefully before.
Tianka looks so cute while eating. His little mustache moves along with his mouth and he looks so serious, as if eating is the most important thing in life.
Even if it makes a "baji, baji" sound, it won't be annoying.
After Tianka finished his meal, he returned to Erxin, huddled together with Dai Jiaotai and Pengci, licked his paws and prepared to go to sleep.
Qin Meng sighed: "I can sleep after eating, without worries, and I don't have to worry about gaining weight. Being a cat is so happy."
Lu Yao came out of the kitchen and just happened to hear this. He couldn't help but say, "Er Xin was a stray cat. She was hit by a car on the main road. Her intestines were all out, but she insisted on carrying her three cubs to the ditch. When I found them, blood was all over the ground. The family of five was huddled in the muddy ditch. It was so miserable."
Qin Meng: "A family of five?"
Lu Yao: "There was still one kitten that was not rescued, so there were only the three of them and Erxin left."
Qin Meng was silent.
Lu Yao: "It's all right now. You said they are happy kittens, and they will always be cute and happy in the future."
Qin Meng leaned over and lay down next to Er Xin, next to Tian Ka, and closed her eyes: "Shopkeeper, I want to sleep for a while too."
Erxin next to him kept snoring.
Compared to a kitten, her purring is like an "emperor engine".
Qin Meng had always had a light sleep and she thought she would not be able to fall asleep, but she lost consciousness in less than half a minute.
She was still thinking that it seemed like a good idea to not have to pay attention to her image all the time or care about any public opinion, and just play with cats and watch the sea.
Lu Yao looked at Qin Meng curled up in a ball, took out a clean blanket and prepared to cover Qin Meng with it.
When I came back, I saw Qin Meng slowly turning into an anemone fish, wrapped in colorful bubbles, and slowly flying out of the furry shop.
Du Qingmei was stunned watching from the side.
Lu Yao: "Did she go back?"
System: [Yes.]
Lu Yao let out a breath, wishing he wasn’t dead.
-
Lanxin Middle School.
Class 5, Grade 2, Classroom.
Chen Xingyu sat in his seat, rubbing his hands a little nervously.
The results of the midterm exam were announced today. He felt that he was in good condition during the exam, slept well, was relaxed, and had a smooth test-taking process. His score should be higher than previous levels.
But he had often had this feeling before, and he felt disappointed every time the scores came out.
This time when he came out of the examination room, he didn't even dare to ask anyone to check his answers with, and he waited tremblingly until the day when the results were announced.
The bell rang and the head teacher walked in with a smile on his face.
Someone in the class immediately started to make a noise: "Mr. Li is smiling like a flower. Our class must have done well in the exam this time."
"Who's number one?"
"It's definitely Li Mingxing. Who can surpass him?"
"He must be in the top ten in his grade."
The head teacher, Mr. Li, stood on the podium, waved his hand for the students to be quiet, turned on the multimedia, and projected the transcript directly onto the blackboard.
Everyone subconsciously looked down and were stunned when they saw the names in the first row.
The first place was indeed Li Mingxing, but the second place was no longer one of the people they were familiar with.
A boy asked his deskmate: "Did I see it wrong? Chen Xingyu is the second place?"
"Not only is he second, he's tenth in the grade!"
The wrinkles on Old Li's face were about to be squeezed into flowers. "That's right. Chen Xingyu, a student in our class who has been working hard, has accumulated a lot of experience and performed steadily. He achieved very good results in this midterm exam. The teacher is very happy."
Chen Xingyu sat in his seat, feeling like he was dreaming.
