Preparing to Become a Sheep Trainer

Zhou Shuling has always been a warm and hospitable person, and it is rare for her to entertain guests at home. When she saw that Zhong Qing was only wearing thin, semi-transparent flesh-colored stockings, she quickly brought over a small heater.

"Move over." Zhou Shuling gestured for Liu Chang'an to move his seat. He and Zhong Qing were sitting quite close together, their legs almost touching, and there wasn't enough room for his small heater.

Liu Chang'an moved aside a little, and Zhong Qing smiled and thanked him. She rarely went outdoors and wasn't particularly afraid of the cold. She was used to not wearing stockings, but in winter, flesh-colored stockings looked better than bare legs.

Zhou Shuling glanced at Zhong Qing with a hint of envy before sitting back down in the opposite seat. Secretary Zhong had a great figure; her calves were straight and slender. In particular, her posture was very refined. Her calves were leaning together at an angle, her toes touching the ground, her heels resting on the chair legs, and her insteps stretched straight out, making her already tall figure appear even more slender and elegant.

Among women of similar age to Zhong Qing, Zhou Shuling thought long and hard and concluded that Miss Qin was superior to Zhong Qing in terms of both figure and appearance. The main point was that Miss Qin had an advantage that was difficult for ordinary people to match.

Zhou Shuling looked down at herself. Fortunately, she was about the same as Secretary Zhong, just a little less capable than Miss Qin.

"Excuse me." Zhong Qing said to Zhou Shuling, then withdrew his gaze from Zhou Shuling's waist and hips. Only someone like Liu Chang'an could resist such a beauty; how could any ordinary man remain unmoved when faced with such a stunning woman?

It may not be easy for feelings to develop between a man and a woman, but it is easy for them to become the subject of gossip and ambiguity in the eyes of others.

Zhong Qing knew in her heart that she had done something quite shameful to Liu Chang'an and knew that Liu Chang'an was not that kind of person.

Zhong Qing still felt a little dizzy when he recalled the slap he had delivered that night.

"What's the bother? Just add another pair of chopsticks. Secretary Zhong, why don't you try this pig's trotter skin first? I made the sauce." Zhou Shuling was eager to know what others thought of the dish.

"Okay." Zhong Qing picked up a piece of pig's trotter with her chopsticks. The pig's trotter skin was crystal clear after being cooked, and it was dyed with fiery red pepper oil. The finely chopped seasonings looked very appetizing. When it landed on her delicate lips, her snow-white teeth gently touched it, and it was a truly delicious sight.

"It's really good, it tastes quite appetizing and refreshing, it makes me want to eat more right away," Zhong Qing said with a hint of surprise.

Zhou Shuling was overjoyed and quickly reached out to pick up the plate and place it in front of Zhong Qing. Just as she picked up the plate, a small hand that looked like a pig's trotter pressed it down.

Zhou Shuling slapped the little hand, replaced it with a plate of dishes, and placed the pig's trotter skin in front of Zhong Qing, urging her to eat more.

"Do you usually eat a lot?" Shangguan Dandan, finally releasing herself from the grip of the ribs, as she held the long, thin rack in her hands. "Xiao Zhong."

"Not much." Zhong Qing smiled and shook his head. Being called "Little Zhong" by a little girl didn't seem impolite to Shangguan Dandan; he just found it cute.

Shangguan Dandan nodded and ignored her, continuing to eat her ribs.

"When is Zhu Juntang returning to Junsha?" Liu Chang'an asked about serious matters. As for a young lady like Zhu Juntang who does nothing herself, she often knows less about her own schedule than the people who are in charge of arranging it.

"She'll go to Jinling first, then return to Junsha with Miss Qin, probably within the next few days," Zhong Qing said. "It was arranged before the holiday. She has to attend extra classes during the winter break; she failed all her final exams. Yan Qingcheng will also arrive at school early to give her lessons."

Liu Chang'an sighed softly. Zhou Shuling handed him a can of beer, which Liu Chang'an slowly finished.

This was to be expected; one couldn't expect Zhu Juntang to be much better than Zhou Dongdong in her studies.

One level.

"After we finish eating, I'll give you a book list. You can buy them for Zhu Juntang. When she comes back, I'll be her other tutor. Yan Qingcheng can tutor her after she finishes her class, or I can tutor her after Yan Qingcheng." Liu Chang'an wasn't doing this for any other reason; it was just that Su Mei had entrusted him with this task in Antarctica.

He can't even train a sheep? Even a circus animal trainer could do that.

Liu Chang'an was very confident.

"Okay, no problem." Zhong Qing nodded vigorously, full of anticipation. She had a lot of confidence in Liu Chang'an, even though the Third Mistress couldn't do anything about Zhu Juntang.

After dinner, Liu Chang'an wrote down a book list, Zhong Qing took out two red envelopes, handing one to Zhou Dongdong first.

"I have five yuan..." Zhou Dongdong opened the red envelope, took out the money, looked at it, and casually handed it to Zhou Shuling next to her, "That's a lot of money."

Zhou Dongdong knew very well that only the small red envelopes from the adults were for Zhou Dongdong; the ones with a lot of money in them weren't for Zhou Dongdong at all.

"I can't accept this, it's too much." Zhou Shuling saw it and dared not accept it, quickly stuffing it back. Her shop was in Baolong Center, and she should be giving gifts to Secretary Zhong, not accepting such a large red envelope. "I'm already embarrassed that you brought so many things."

"Don't mention it. This is a red envelope from the Third Miss for Dongdong." Zhong Qing opened Zhou Dongdong's pocket and stuffed it in.

"Keep it," Liu Chang'an said without looking up.

Zhou Shuling then stopped being polite.

Zhong Qing then handed another one to Shangguan Dandan.

"I have so much money." Shangguan Dandan took out all the red RMB notes and counted them three times. She couldn't help but smile. Recently, she had more money than she could spend and had even saved some.

With this red envelope today, she can buy an electric scooter.

Liu Chang'an handed the completed book list to Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing accepted it and decided not to report the matter to the Third Miss for the time being, otherwise she might really try to delay the date of her return to Junsha.

Zhong Qing was very polite, and Liu Chang'an was also a very particular person. He escorted Zhong Qing to the entrance of the residential area, watched her get into the car and leave, waved goodbye, and then walked back.

"Master Liu, Master Liu, wait a minute."

Liu Chang'an turned around and saw that it was Old Man Qian. He became wary. "I didn't expect that you, you old geezer, would actually discover my true identity as a martial arts master? Are you one too?"

"You're quite the schemer, kid. I heard from my granddaughter that you're always getting into fights at school. You beat up your classmates, then the class monitor, then the student council president, and even your homeroom teacher! You're really good at fighting, aren't you a pro?" Old Man Qian said with great foresight. "I always knew you weren't famous because of your studies."

"Hmm." Liu Chang'an nodded.

"However, youthful impetuosity is understandable. When I was young, I often got into fights with people, from River East to the River West..."

"Just say what you need to say, stop bragging."

"Was I bragging? Grandpa was reminiscing about the glorious old days... There's something going on. The neighborhood committee recently held a square dance competition, right? We're short a few people, so could you fill in?"

"You're looking for Zhou Shuling."

Can she dance?

"Does that mean I know how to do square dancing?" It's ridiculous, why does everyone assume he knows how to do square dancing?

You definitely will.

"Why don't you find Zhou Shuling, find a young and beautiful woman to join your team? Wouldn't that be a better deal than finding me?"

After saying that, Liu Chang'an left. Old Man Qian thought about it for a moment. The logic was obvious, but why did this guy always come to mind first when he thought about it?

In the afternoon, Liu Chang'an stayed at home playing cards with Zhou Dongdong and Shangguan Dandan. He won five yuan from Zhou Dongdong and a large portion of Shangguan Dandan's New Year's money. Then he taught Zhou Shuling how to dance. In the evening, he received a message from Gao Dewei, inviting Liu Chang'an to his house the next day for a classmate reunion.
