Chapter 281

A boyish voice that only a fake voice could produce. Perhaps from the moment she chose to make a deal with Hua Shanming, Hua Xin never thought about what the world would be like if she had cowardly run away. She told many lies and made many mistakes. Now, Hua Xin doesn't have the courage to face that scene. "Could you please..." "Only I know." "Don't worry." Before the girl could finish speaking, the woman in her sight, whose appearance wasn't very good, and could even be described as plain, gently ruffled her hair through her hat. But in Hua Xin's eyes, the word "teacher" was truly embodied in her heart for the first time. She didn't blame her for being nosy. She didn't say why only you are different from others, why you can't follow the rules that others can follow, why you can't endure what others can endure. She didn't use her fragile past to find so-called amusement and ridicule. Hua Xin remembered Teacher Li's real name, and she also remembered her personal signature on WeChat Moments. "Without rules, there can be no order." This teacher, Li Fangyuan, whom she hadn't spoken much to, was the most beautiful and best teacher she had ever encountered in her entire life. 217. Return? "Beep beep beep beep..." The alarm clock rang, instantly echoing in the small room. A slender, white hand accurately slapped the vibrating phone screen, stopping the jarring noise. Chun Qiu, lying at the foot of the bed, only slightly twitched his long beard, not opening his eyes, continuing to immerse himself in a deep, timeless sleep. Hua Xin stared blankly at the mottled ceiling, and coupled with the unpleasant feeling of just waking up, a faint sense of death welled up within her. While not exactly dark, it was certainly pitch black. Without windows, it was impossible to judge the time by the intensity of outside light as before. If it weren't for the door being open, allowing some faint light to filter through, the room would have been completely devoid of visibility. After all, this is what happens when there are no windows. The girl wanted to burst into tears and lament her misfortune, but the thought of the small house costing only a little over a thousand yuan a month kept her quiet. Other houses cost two thousand yuan a month; having a place to live for a thousand yuan was already a blessing. If she were to be picky, she'd have to live under bridges or in parks, like Fatty Ding, the gold-medal lecturer, chanting "God bless you" while scavenging for a living. She didn't want to be homeless right now. Besides... Hua Xin glanced resentfully at the still-sleeping, curled-up chicken leg Chun Qiu. She'd have to pay for the trouble it caused. According to the message from the courier station owner, Chacha had given birth to four kittens. Two wealthy families had already given them away to ensure a comfortable life for the rest of their lives. They kept one for themselves, and she'd have to figure out how to raise the last one herself. Soon, another member will be added to the family... The small house is now home to three people without us even realizing it... Uh, something seems a bit off. But after all, the cost of cat food and litter will increase exponentially. What if her job market is bad and she gets a pay cut? Can she really afford to feed these two Hachimi, who are practically vacuum cleaners? As for why she said two, it's because every Chun Qiu has its offspring; if the Chun Qiu can eat so much, its offspring will definitely have at least half its capacity. Her eyes darted around, and the girl stretched, her curvaceous figure particularly noticeable under her thin short-sleeved shirt. Her unbound hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her legs easily crossed. However, the men's shorts she wore incongruously covered her area below the navel. Over time, men's clothing actually suited Hua Xin's habits better. Her old online shopping bargain-hunting skills hadn't been wasted after starting work; those classic survival skills were absolutely essential. Getting a few clothes was still a breeze. It's just the quality... Hua Xin's lips twitched, then she silently looked at the slightly torn shorts. After her morning grumpiness dissipated, she got out of bed and quickly washed up in the even smaller bathroom. Hua Xin planned to go to the courier station to pick up the kitten and get a bag of cat food. As for how to care for the kitten, the now-awake girl suddenly had a bold idea. The kitten was grown up. It should learn to earn its own living and solve its food problem. So, why not just pawn the kitten to a cat cafe to work and earn money? With Cha Cha's looks and Chun Qiu's intelligence, she's practically guaranteed to become the store's top star! Although it's a weekend, a day off from school and work, since sophomores have just started university, the much-anticipated freshmen will soon be embarking on their new college lives. Just like... she started a new life around this time last year..."Xiang Guan, do you think we'll really meet some pretty freshmen?" "Don't worry, we only have one thing to do here today to welcome the freshmen." "?" "Number..." Seemingly realizing it wasn't the right time to say something like that, he only said half before stopping abruptly. "Don't leave it unfinished, just spit it out." Mu Feng twitched his lips, expressionless as he looked at Xiang Guan, who wore sunglasses and had a self-satisfied Xiang Guan, suppressing his urge to punch him. Not being able to interact with his 2D wives was already infuriating enough; wasting time playing Fall Guys in the dorm was better than sitting here doing nothing. "First, add the pretty junior on WeChat." "Second, the fake pretty junior on WeChat." "Third, still add the pretty... uh!" Xiang Guan, getting more and more excited, suddenly felt a sharp, burning pain in his thigh. Dressed like a basketball athlete, Xiang Guan was naturally wearing shorts, and his leg hair was clearly no match for the sudden, impacting hand. "What are you doing, you shut-in? I'll really make you fly..." "Stop being a lazy bum, we've made it to the end Xiang Guan." "?" A big question mark appeared above Xiang Guan's head. He didn't understand what Mu Feng was saying for a moment, but hearing his words, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. After all, nobody likes being stuck here in the sun, unable to do anything but chat with the sun and their fellow laborers while waiting for time to pass. That's right, welcoming new students isn't something these guys, who're oblivious to everything else and only focused on their gaming books, should be doing. But since the Class Monitor wasn't around and the class was mostly girls, the task of welcoming the new students naturally fell to the two of them. "We don't have to stay here anymore? Someone's doing this chore for us??" Xiang Guan asked with a happy expression, his eyes almost welling up with tears of excitement. "No, it's that girls are coming."
