Chapter 183

Silently watching Chun Qiu on the ground, seemingly waiting for Ash Ketchum's command like Pikachu, her thoughts raced. Remembering the countless moments of bond between them, she felt even more ashamed to speak. Chun Qiu had followed her because he trusted her. Yet she had treated Chun Qiu as a tool for making money... Was she even human?! Was this something a human could do?! "Meow." Chun Qiu half-closed its eyes, meowing at Hua Xin as if urging her. [Wait... why isn't my little brother saying anything? I'm waiting to play with you.] Chun Qiu excitedly licked its paws, its limbs already straining as if ready to take flight at any moment. If you ignored its current plumpness. (I understand...) (Chun Qiu?...) (I won't let you down. After we finish this job, Xia Yan will treat us to all sorts of good food and drinks every day!) Xia Fen, who was holding her phone, and Li Xue Xueshan, who was looking at her phone with a serious expression, didn't say anything. Xiao Wu and the other students were also waiting for Hua Xin's next move with curiosity. Landmine was still wagging its tail. Hua Xin slowly raised her right hand, extended her palm at a 45-degree angle, and shouted loudly, "West... uh, wrong channel." The girl extended one finger, and at the same time, Xia Fen pressed the record button to start recording the game. Hua Xin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then made up her mind, shouting loudly at Chun Qiu with great enthusiasm, "Spring..." She hesitated for a moment before the first word caught in her throat. Wait. This seems to be a video to be posted online, right? Hua Xin's alertness. If that's the case, how could she still call Chun Qiu "Chun Qiu"? Xia Yan had seen Chun Qiu when it got fat before, and seeing it on his own would have completely ruined his reputation. But two fat cats of similar size probably wouldn't make him suspicious... There are so many cats in the world, it's normal for them to be about the same size... After all, Chun Qiu now seems to be much fatter than when Xia Yan saw it before, and its cheeks have widened, its little face is chubby, completely different from its previous oval face. At worst, he won't send Xia Yan any more pictures of Chun Qiu. Thinking of this, Hua Xin couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have brought Chun Qiu along... Training other Hachimi would probably have the same effect, right? It's just that they wouldn't be as cooperative as Chun Qiu... Her thoughts flashed by, but the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. Hua Xin immediately changed her mind and said, "Xia Dong!! Give them a show!!" "Meow!!! (Damn, ignore, let's go!)" Chun Qiu confidently exerted force with its paws, creating a beautiful line in the air. For Xiao Wu, who was so shocked by this scene that she forgot to blink, only one thought remained in her mind. A young high school student, still in the throes of first love, was innocent and took romance very seriously. But her boyfriend, with whom she had spent a whole year, attending the same prestigious high school as her from junior high, invited her to his house after school one day to watch his cat do a backflip. Having some prior knowledge of such matters, she froze. How could she not understand the meaning behind those words? Her first love was just a pathetic guy thinking about doing this kind of thing?! She had misjudged him, truly misjudged him. After the seed of doubt was planted, all attempts at goodwill became mere flattery to make amends. They could never go back; a breakup was inevitable. But now... it turns out... your cat really can do backflips. You weren't lying to me that night, were you?!...144. The ultimate way to defeat social anxiety is to make her an internet celebrity? "Haha, don't laugh... " "Ding Dong Chicken, Ding Dong Chicken, big dog barks, big dog barks, with Senfen Senfen certificate, one chapter after another... "Waaaaah, brothers, it's already noon when I opened my eyes today, let's go get some lunch first... "I am Venom I am Venom I am Venom I am Venom?!!! "Love love love is not Belial?..." "Hello friends, guess what I ate tonight?" " Xiao Fei?..."Hua Xin expressionlessly swiped over a certain Tang-style little paper figure, with no desire to continue watching. "Sigh..." "I feel like there's no point in living." The girl turned over listlessly, her gaze towards the ceiling filled with a strong sense of death. After returning home with Chun Qiu, both she and the cat barely ate a bite of Thirteen Spices food and cat food. As long as they didn't starve to death, the taste didn't really matter. This was definitely commonplace for Hua Xin. But Chun Qiu seemed to be tired of the same kind of cat food, only eating three large bowls after returning home today. Perhaps... she secretly ate some at the cat cafe?... Maybe "some" isn't the right word. The girl silently reached out and touched the pig beside her bed; its small size, barely enough to hold in one hand, was clearly a sign of poor health. But just thinking about Chun Qiu ... the related issues would once again assault her, something she desperately wanted to avoid. Why the hell did she do something like this?! She should never have agreed to Xia Fen's suggestion! The girl's mind immediately flashed back to Xia Fen's sly little face after making the suggestion—it was practically a carbon copy of her brother! They didn't look like half-siblings at all... a spitting image of Xia Yan. Did these people even realize how much this would hurt someone who had always been socially awkward?! But... how embarrassing. So embarrassing...so incredibly embarrassing!!! Thinking back on everything I said and did at work during the day, and that incredibly abstract Tang-style joke that looked like it could eat five bowls of rice, accompanied by an even more abstract cat doing a backflip and a dog spinning around biting its own tail...what's the point of living? Maybe I should just do what Brother Hu and Donald Duck did: hang myself to scam some Frost Chicken and rice and disappear forever. Hua Xin, in a desperate move, pulled the blanket up to cover her already flushed face, shielding herself from the only source of light and heat in the room— the Small Sun. It felt like bubbles were about to rise from her head. Okay, the fat cat next to the Small Sun was also a heat source. Sometimes, those caught in the midst of a storm might not realize what's happening, but when they get home and lie alone on their bed, involuntarily reflecting on their lives, they understand. From expressions, words, and thoughts, down to the smallest details of their actions. Everything was crystal clear... In the more than ten years since she was born, she had never felt as ashamed as she had today. Even her date with Xia Yan hadn't been this awkward. Hua Xin opened her dead fish eyes, her face showing a mixture of struggle, despair, and helplessness, but her emotions were still predominantly filled with shame and indignation. She still wanted to transform into a white mask and steam...
