Immortal Sheep Not Found in the Zoo (Revised)

An Nuan is a girl deeply in love. Her lips are always upturned, her eyes are shining, and her hair flutters even when there is no wind. Her inner happiness always makes her restless, and she is always jumping around.

"What were you and my mom talking about just now?" An Nuan asked casually.

"She asked me what kind of meat this was," Liu Chang'an said, pointing to the meat on the cutting board.

What kind of meat is this?

"This meat is called 'Arhat Meat,' and its name is similar to 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall,'" Liu Chang'an explained.

"Then why have you been talking for so long about something that could be explained in a single sentence?" An Nuan asked, puzzled.

"Because I lied to her, saying that people from Fujian love to eat this kind of meat, and that if you go to the Southern Shaolin Temple to become a disciple, eating this kind of meat regularly will make it easier to become an Arhat. Moreover, people from Fujian frequently eat Arhat Meat are also a favorite of people from Guangdong."

"You're not allowed to tease her like that!" An Nuan became wary. "Girls are all like that! If a boy she likes teases her often, she'll like him even more! Whether it's making her happy or making her angry, it's the same!"

"So that's how you fell for me." Liu Chang'an nodded in sudden realization. "Girls are really amazing. I remember when I teased you before, you would often get furious. Were you actually happy inside?"

"Of course!" An Nuan swayed her body sweetly.

"Masochistic."

"Ugh! Don't say that to me." An Nuan pinched Liu Chang'an's waist. "But actually, most girls have this tendency, hehe."

"I don't believe it. You look so innocent, with such a cute and naive appearance, how could you be a masochist? I can't accept it." Liu Chang'an raised his head in disbelief.

"You're so annoying!" An Nuan stood on tiptoe and covered his mouth, stopping him from teasing her anymore.

Liu Yuewang felt that calling An Nuan a "dog skin plaster" wasn't an exaggeration. At most, the ingredients had been improved, making it smell nice and have cute prints on it, but it was still a "dog skin plaster" in the end, especially sticky.

An Nuan was cooking with Liu Chang'an in the kitchen. Liu Yuewang called An Nuan several times to come out and watch TV with her, but she couldn't get her to come.

Liu Yuewang gradually realized a problem: if An Nuan and Liu Chang'an really got married in the future, even if they lived together, An Nuan would definitely roll into Liu Chang'an's arms when watching TV, so wouldn't she always be sitting alone on the other side of the sofa? Or maybe she could hug a pillow.

We need to make a pact with them to forbid them from being affectionate in front of Liu Yuewang. Liu Yuewang, always on a whim, brought it up at the dinner table.

"Mom, Gao Yening is a bit annoying, but his character seems fine, and he really likes you. You should still reconsider." An Nuan sighed, a little helpless.

Although she said she wanted her mother to block Gao Yening, it was just an angry outburst. Gao Ye Ning seemed to be a decent person, and An Nuan didn't want her mother to marry an old man. With her mother's qualities, what young and handsome man wouldn't be good enough for her?

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Liu Yuewang remembered the standards she had set for Gao Yening and coughed lightly. "My personal matters are none of your concern."

"You can't even stand watching other people being affectionate, which means your need for romance has seriously affected your normal mental state," An Nuan said worriedly.

"Who needs anything? I'm perfectly fine. Eat your food, and don't talk while you eat." Liu Yuewang picked up a piece of Arhat Meat and put it in An Nuan's bowl.

An Nuan felt a little helpless and stepped on Liu Chang'an under the table. It was all because her boyfriend was too outstanding that other women couldn't help but have the illusion that "if I were in a relationship, I would be just as happy," which made them also really want to be in a relationship.

There was nothing that could be done about it! After stepping on Liu Chang'an's foot, An Nuan smiled sweetly and served him some food.

Liu Chang'an remained silent throughout, unable to fathom the chaotic thoughts behind their words and actions.

It's often said that a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean, and finding a needle in a haystack is indeed very difficult. Besides the vastness of the area, the main problem is that many hidden, undiscovered sea creatures are extremely dangerous.

For example, the Otwa-type Creatures are a case in point. Many people believe that their original form went extinct 600 million years ago, but in fact they have successfully evolved into a state similar to that in the movie "Deep Rising".

Some people compare women to Otwa-type Creatures, and Liu Chang'an doesn't know why; it's really strange.

Even someone as outspoken as Liu Chang'an wouldn't discuss with them why they resembled Otwa-type Creatures.

After lunch, Liu Yuewang wanted to take a nap, but Liu Chang'an, having promised the children in his family that they would go to the zoo today, went home first.

An Nuan originally wanted to go to the zoo, but she decided to go to the exhibition center in the afternoon to guard her dress.

Liu Chang'an hadn't gone far when he saw a Rolls-Royce Cullinan moving slowly like a tortoise.

This car model is very rare in Junsha, and the ones that appear on the Xiangtan University campus are mostly Zhu Juntang's cars.

The car stopped next to Liu Chang'an, the window rolled down, revealing Zhu Juntang's sullen face.

"Are you patrolling the campus?" Liu Chang'an asked casually, noticing how slowly her car was moving.

"I'm delaying my study time. If I spend more time on the road, then I can have less time to study." Zhu Juntang's eyebrows furrowed. The thought of having to study during the holidays made Zhu Juntang heart ache.

"It's a holiday today."

"My mom says I often don't bring my books to class and don't study hard. My little cousin just happened to get a professor who's very hard to get, but she's unavailable lately. My mom thinks we can't waste this opportunity, so she makes me... I... I have to listen to that old geezer who doesn't go on vacation to earn extra money lecture me all New Year's Day." Zhu Juntang said indignantly, adding, "When I say 'old geezer,' I don't usually mean you; I just call you a lousy old man."

"Are you itching for a beating again?" Liu Chang'an laughed sympathetically. This was probably the most effective way to deal with someone like Zhu Juntang.

Things like tearing her stockings and skirts, tying her up, or taping her up won't stop her at all. She'll still do whatever she wants. Only by learning this kind of punishment can she learn her lesson.

Some people may attend classes occasionally and study regularly, but they would be in agony if they were forced to attend classes when they felt they should be resting. Zhu Juntang is one such person.

"Come on in the car, let's play some games. If my little cousin tells me I'm late, I'll explain to my mom that I ran into you and was delayed by being with you, then my mom won't scold me," Zhu Juntang said cleverly.

"Third Miss, I'm still in the car," Zhong Qing said helplessly. She was the one responsible for supervising Zhu Juntang.

"You didn't hear anything!" Zhu Juntang tilted her head and looked at Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing adjusted her glasses and gave Liu Chang'an a pleading look, not minding adding a touch of womanly coquettishness to her eyes.

Since everyone knew each other so well, and he even knocked her down, isn't it normal for such a ruthless man to soften his stance towards the victim afterward and accept her slightly coquettish request?

"I want to go to the zoo." Liu Chang'an certainly had no interest in playing games with Zhu Juntang. He'd rather play with building blocks with Zhou Dongdong than play games with Zhu Juntang.

"I really want to go to the zoo too. Do you think it counts as studying for us biology students to go to the zoo?" Zhu Juntang suddenly thought of a great reason.

Liu Chang'an sighed. This was just a brat who was trying every possible way to avoid studying.

As they were talking, a man and a woman walked over from a distance.

"Oh, isn't this the man from the Snail Rice Noodles couple?" Wu Qinglian looked Liu Chang'an up and down with a smile.

"Yes, definitely. It left a deep impression... His girlfriend gave us a good scolding, but we were really interested in Xiangtan University and wanted you guys to be our tour guides... And here we are, meeting at Xiangtan University again?" Wu Qinglian lazily put his hands in his pockets and squinted at Liu Chang'an.

It's really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road... Well, not really, it was just a small verbal conflict, a bit of rudeness, that's all. Wu Qinglian smiled, knowing that his sister liked this type of boy, the kind who exuded a sense of tranquility and timelessness.

"It's New Year's Day today, and your girlfriend isn't with you. I wonder if you'd be interested in joining us for a stroll around Xiangtan University? I heard there's an art exhibition there today, and we're having trouble finding the place," Wu Qinglian invited with a smile.

"Handsome, you're not going to give me any face today either, are you?" Wu Qinglian chimed in from the side.

Liu Chang'an smiled; he was going to the zoo.

Zhu Juntang got out of the car. She was curious about who was trying to poach Liu Chang'an even though they knew he had a girlfriend.

After taking one look, Zhu Juntang was immediately disappointed. This woman was a real monster. She looked like a scoundrel and actually tried to steal someone from Building 2. She was no threat at all. There was no excitement to be had here!

Having probably never looked in a mirror before, Zhu Juntang turned to look at Liu Chang'an and burst out laughing. To think she'd been targeted by a woman like that!

"Zhu... Zhu Juntang!"

Zhu Juntang was mocking Liu Chang'an when Wu Qinglian called out Zhu Juntang's name. His smile vanished instantly, and he glared angrily at Zhu Juntang.

Zhu Juntang was taken aback.

"I didn't expect to see you here. You two know each other, no wonder you're so arrogant. We misjudged you." Wu Qinglian said coldly, calming himself down.

Who would have thought that the man among the couple eating snails in the dilapidated alleys of Junsha would actually know a wealthy heiress like Zhu Juntang... Of course, most so-called wealthy heiresses are just children from ordinary families in front of Zhu Juntang.

He and Zhu Juntang seem to have a good relationship. Such a person must not be from an ordinary background. No wonder he didn't react or show any fear when he saw Wu Qinglian's supercar.

"Who are you?" Zhu Juntang frowned slightly. "I hate it when strangers call me by my name."

"What's so annoying about that?" Liu Chang'an asked.

"That way I'll have to think about who he is, and if I can't remember, people will think I'm arrogant..." Zhu Juntang said unhappily. She was clearly very approachable and kind... because she was only three generations younger than Liu Chang'an, so being kind was acceptable.

If she is his Immortal Sheep mount, then the mount is usually of the same generation as its master, making it even more amiable and approachable.

"That makes sense." Liu Chang'an nodded in agreement.

"Hehe." Zhu Juntang laughed, grabbing Liu Chang'an's arm and patting it back and forth. "I was just kidding, didn't you see that coming? I don't care!"

"I didn't realize that."

"Zhu Juntang... you really have a bad memory. You've forgotten, haven't you? Back in junior high, you had someone beat me up, forcing me to go to school in Britain!" Wu Qinglian realized that Zhu Juntang was ignoring her again, and she couldn't suppress her anger any longer.

"Did you apologize to me?" Zhu Juntang didn't even remember this person, so naturally she didn't remember whether the other party had apologized or not.

"You... apologize to you? Your men beat my bodyguards so badly they were hospitalized, and my brother was also beaten bloody from the head by your men, and you still apologize to me?" Wu Qinglian was furious. Of course she knew about what had happened to her brother.

"Otherwise what? If he wasn't wrong, why would I hit him? Are you an idiot? Don't you understand such a simple principle?" Zhu Juntang looked at Wu Qinglian with displeasure. It was one thing to be so tall, but also so ugly, so stupid, and not smart at all.

"Zhu Juntang, this isn't Taiwan, don't be so arrogant!" Wu Qinglian pointed at Zhu Juntang, his finger trembling slightly. Back in junior high, Zhu Juntang was incredibly arrogant, and he never expected that after so long, she would still act like she had the nerve to look down on everyone.

"Haha... This isn't Taiwan, but this is South Hunan. You guys didn't even ask around before coming to South Hunan. Who's in charge here?" Zhu Juntang chuckled awkwardly, then put her hands on her hips, realizing she hadn't explained things clearly enough. She reached out and grabbed Liu Chang'an's arm. "I have an even more powerful and influential person to cling to."

After saying that, Zhu Juntang nudged Liu Chang'an's arm with her head.

"Look at your greasy hair." Liu Chang'an pushed Zhu Juntang away with disdain, too lazy to bother with her nonsense, and left directly. He still had to go to the zoo; seeing an Immortal Sheep didn't mean he had been to the zoo.

"No! Not oily at all. My hair looks like a curved corner today, so cute." Zhu Juntang realized she had forgotten to remind him of her special hairstyle. She walked a few steps behind him to talk, and only after Liu Chang'an turned around and glanced at her did she walk back.

Wu Qinglian and Wu Qinglian were both stunned, and hurriedly stared intently at Liu Chang'an's back. If he was such a powerful figure to Zhu Juntang, then... just who was this person?

The Wu siblings certainly knew how powerful the Zhu Family was in Taiwan; they truly didn't care about anyone... The Zhu Family couldn't possibly be in the same position on the mainland, but they did have powerful allies. Even if it were someone from the Qin Family, would Zhu Juntang be so intimately attached to them, calling them her powerful backers?

Could it be someone even more powerful than the Qin Family? Wu Qinglian and Wu Qinglian exchanged bewildered glances... Luckily, they had only invited them to be tour guides. Thinking about it carefully... it seems... perhaps... they hadn't really offended them too much?

Seeing that the man had left and didn't seem to care, Wu Qinglian glanced at her sister somewhat nervously.

"What are you thinking about?" Wu Qinglian shoved Wu Qinglian, who was staring intently at the other person's back... His sister was quite popular in Europe and America, but people here don't have such sophisticated tastes!

"Get out of the way, you idle people, don't block my car. I need to study. That Liu Chang'an, he won't take me to the zoo again." Zhu Juntang muttered as she got into the car.

Liu Chang'a Wu Qinglian did know Liu Chang'an's name.

Today, I swept away my previous slump and suddenly a long chapter came out, even though I hadn't missed a day yesterday. It seems I'm gradually getting back into form.

Please give me a monthly pass, so I can keep my performance on fire.
