Chapter 121 Let’s Eat Dessert Together
"Xiao Zhen——!"
An Yuan yelled at a high octave: "What are you doing??"
Xiao Zhen glanced at An Yuan, her anger was surging towards him like a raging wave. His body shook subconsciously.
He had never seen An Yuan really angry, and Yan Zhen's body looked really scary, which made him feel bad. An Yuan's subconscious suddenly rushed into his mind: Yan Zhen was holding a whip, and Wei Jingjing, wearing a Gothic dress, was half lying on the ground with tears on her face. Snap! Snap! He whipped Wei Jingjing coldly with the whip. The girl screamed in pain and begged for mercy: "Master, Master, please forgive me..."
“…”
An Yuan's mother, what are you thinking about?
Xiao Zhen quickly sent a lot of soothing messages to An Yuan to calm her down while explaining to her that these were the lines for the show he and Wei Jingjing were rehearsing.
"Show? What show?" An Yuan still looked skeptical.
"I'm rehearsing lines with Wei Jingjing for the school anniversary program." He sent a hint to the slime mold Wei Jingjing with his mind.
Slime mold Wei Jingjing smiled cooperatively and said, "Yes, Auntie, I'm rehearsing lines with Yan Zhen."
"Oh..." An Yuan still looked at them suspiciously, but Xiao Zhen released a lot of calming information. An Yuan's expression finally eased.
"Are you really rehearsing your lines?"
"It's true, Auntie."
An Yuan was obviously still a little worried. She smiled at Wei Jingjing and said, "You are a good child. If our Xiaozhen says anything strange or bullies you, just tell Auntie."
Slime mold Wei Jingjing nodded in confusion.
…
…
She left Yan Zhen's home.
In fact, she didn't understand why An Yuan had such a big reaction. The emotional response and behavioral logic of Homo sapiens was still a mystery to her. She believed that her creator Yan Zhen could handle it properly. An Yuan's last smile appeared in front of her again, which was out of genuine concern and kindness. She thought to herself that the woman was really a mother who made people feel very safe and comfortable. Although she didn't know why she was angry, she could feel that An Yuan was defending her. After Master Yan Zhen's explanation, she turned back into the Homo sapiens woman who spoke softly and had a smile on her face. She must be a very gentle and easy-going mother. Completely different from Sheng Shihua.
The differences between individuals are so great.
Human mothers are truly diverse.
Slime mold Wei Jingjing withdrew her thoughts. The top priority she needed to deal with now was Gu Yu's invitation.
After spending some time with this group of young humans, Gu Yu's name would constantly appear in the words of his classmates and teachers.
She was a very outstanding female student.
Human excellence can be seen in many aspects. In a closed environment like a school, students with excellent grades in various subjects are envied by everyone. Gu Yu is an excellent student in the first echelon of this grade. There is also such an excellent student in his class, his name is Liu Xingquan. For most ordinary students, they are distant and unattainable.
Liu Xingquan and Wei Jingjing were in the same class, sitting close to each other. Although they didn't have much contact, they would occasionally talk about class affairs. But Gu Yu was in the next class, and she had basically no contact with Gu Yu, whether in life or in school.
The person that the slime mold Wei Jingjing was going to play - Wei Jingjing's grades in the class were neither good nor bad, just average, so the slime mold didn't need to bother to get good grades in her studies. Maintaining the original level of the person she was playing was the requirement of the Creator Yan Zhen. The slime mold had always been very careful to maintain the grades of each subject at the previous level. Naturally, Wei Jingjing never got to participate in the competitions, training and activities that the top students often participated in.
But now, Gu Yu, the idol among the girls in the school, actually invited her out.
She thought back to their first conversation.
It was a youth mental health class for two classes. Because there have been several suicides among middle school students in the city in recent years, the school pays great attention to youth mental health education. In the large classroom, the students from class one and class two were all there. Halfway through the class, the teacher suddenly asked a question: "If you have something very troubling, how would you solve it?"
The standard answer to this question is to ask the teacher, parents, and classmates. In short, don't keep any worries to yourself. Teachers, parents, and friends will help you and save you. If anyone was called, they would open the psychological health reading book and read it aloud, but the teacher happened to call the slime mold Wei Jingjing.
Slime mold Wei Jingjing stood up and replied, "I have no worries."
The class burst into laughter, and the teacher laughed along awkwardly.
Slime mold Wei Jingjing didn't think there was anything wrong with her answer. She encountered no obstacles in her role-playing work, and no one pointed out that she was not Wei Jingjing. The only purpose of her life was to play a human being and fill the gap left by her absence. She was doing her job well. In her opinion, the emotion of worry was just a bug in the personality program of a creature like Homo sapiens, which would only reduce efficiency and cause malfunctions.
It is running well now, and of course there will be no such bugs as troubles.
After class, the slime mold Wei Jingjing was packing her textbooks when a voice sounded in her ears.
"You, really don't have any worries?"
Slime mold Wei Jingjing raised her head and saw a quiet girl with short hair standing in front of her. She was the monitor of Class 1, Gu Yu.
"No, I didn't," replied the slime mold Wei Jingjing. Gu Yu looked at her in amazement, and then she whispered, "That's great."
Then she watched her with relish until the slime mold Wei Jingjing left the classroom.
Later, Gu Yu appeared in front of her from time to time. Slime mold Wei Jingjing could always feel a gaze following her, and when she went to look for him, she would find that it was often Gu Yu. And Gu Yu rarely hid himself, and appeared in front of her openly. Sometimes it was during breaks, sometimes after school, and sometimes in the class together, her gaze would always fall on Wei Jingjing intentionally or unintentionally. Slime mold Wei Jingjing didn't know what the correct way for humans to get along was, but this was obviously not the normal way for humans to make friends. Every time Gu Yu looked at her, her eyes were always full of interest, and he looked at her carefully, very carefully, bit by bit, just like copying a sculpture in art class.
One day Xu Kewei asked, "Why does Gu Yu from the next class always come to see you?"
"I don't know." Slime mold Wei Jingjing shook her head. She was sure that Wei Jingjing and Gu Yu were two strangers before, which made her puzzled about the current situation.
"Maybe they want to be friends with you." Xu Kewei said, "Wei Jingjing, you are so beautiful and such a nice person, everyone would want to be friends with you."
"She and I are not in the same class. There are many girls in her class. Why would she think of looking for me?"
Xu Kewei said seriously: "Because Wei Jingjing you are special."
Slime mold Wei Jingjing didn't believe Xu Kewei's words. Because one of the messages Master Yan Zhen gave her was that she should never believe in human compliments. It was human etiquette to praise others with exaggerated words. Their beautiful words were not real, but just a courtesy of communication.
"Maybe Gu Yu is lonely." Xu Kewei added, "I heard that her grandmother passed away a while ago. Maybe she wants to find a good friend to relieve her sorrow."
Slime mold Wei Jingjing simply couldn't connect the death of a loved one with making a friend. She felt there was no logic in it at all.
As a result, in the afternoon, the slime mold Wei Jingjing received a formal invitation from Gu Yu.
"Can I treat you to a dessert?" Gu Yu said to her with a smile. She held a colorful flyer from the dessert shop with a few cute desserts outlined on it. Seeing that the slime mold Wei Jingjing didn't answer, she stuffed the flyer into the slime mold Wei Jingjing's hand.
"This Saturday at 2pm, at the Love Dessert Shop, I'll be waiting for you..."
Gu Yu ran away.
Is this how humans get along? Slime mold Wei Jingjing flipped through the information she had. The development in front of her was different from her understanding of making friends. Considering the previous experience of Xu Kewei's incident, she decided to ask her creator Yan Zhen.
"I think you can agree to her." Yan Zhen said so. His words then caused ripples in the slime mold's heart.
"Perhaps, she wanted to be friends with 'you' and invited you."
Is it because of the Wei Jingjing that I presented that made that girl want to be friends with me?
The slime mold savored these words. A strange feeling moved through her body, warm and light, like invisible smoke, and when the slime mold wanted to savor it carefully, it slipped through her fingers. She didn't know what this feeling was.
All in all, it doesn’t feel bad.
Gu Yu glanced at the clock at the Love Dessert Shop. There were still fifteen minutes left. Based on her observation of Wei Jingjing, she would arrive at about 1:55.
There were two plates of dessert on the table, which she had ordered in advance.
She sipped the milk tea slowly. The milk tea in this dessert shop tasted good, but she could tell at once that it was imitating the flavor of the signature milk tea in the Zhiwei Milk Tea Shop next door. Zhiwei Milk Tea Shop has been open for a year. As soon as it opened, it attracted many customers with its unique taste. In addition to being popular among students, it has also received praise from many young white-collar workers, and many white-collar workers even lined up from nearby office buildings to buy milk tea. During the peak time at noon, it often takes several hours to line up to buy a cup of milk tea .
Because of this popularity, many stores have imitated it. Some stores just put up a Zhiwei sign, and some stores try hard to get closer to Zhiwei milk tea in taste, but there is still some gap.
The milk tea in this dessert shop is obviously one of the imitations. Although the taste is very similar, it is still a little worse.
If you can't imitate well, then it can only be a poor imitation. Gu Yu thought to herself, if she were the owner of this store, she would definitely study Zhiwei Milk Tea thoroughly and then replace it. In this area, there is only one good milk tea shop.
The door of the dessert shop was opened and Wei Jingjing appeared at the door.
The girl was really beautiful. When she stepped into the store, the entire interior seemed to light up.
Gu Yu watched her walk towards her table.
She slowly smiled.
Everything was going according to her plan.
