Chapter 313: Fluffy Appearance
"Why is the big star crying!" Yan Zhu shouted in surprise.
Xiao Zhen looked at Ren Anzhi strangely.
Ren Anzhi's eyes were red, with bright tears welling up in his eyes, and his handsome face was unusually pale. He looked at Yan Zhu absentmindedly.
"Excuse me, are you okay?" Xiao Zhen asked. Seeing that Ren Anzhi didn't respond, he waved his hand at him.
"..." Ren Anzhi came back to his senses and pushed up his sunglasses to cover his eyes without saying a word. He quickly signed his name and handed the paper to Yan Zhu.
"Thank you!" Yan Zhu held the paper to her chest as if she had found a treasure. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Excuse me, what happened just now..."
"Sand got stuck in my eyes, it's okay." Ren Anzhi smiled, and he returned to his business appearance as the perfect star who always smiled. "Xiaozhen, Yanzhu, I'm glad to see you."
"Didn't we just see this before?" Xiao Zhen said, "Big star, why are you here?"
"I'm just passing by. And don't call me a big star, I'm just an ordinary actor." Ren Anzhi thought for a moment and said, "You can call me Uncle Ren."
Yan Zhu immediately called out crisply, "Hello, Uncle Ren!"
"Okay, okay." Ren Anzhi looked at Yan Zhu deeply, then turned to look at Xiao Zhen, "Xiao Zhen, Yan Zhu..." He paused for a moment, "You are very good, you must listen to your parents, and take good care of yourselves in the future."
He stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
The car gradually went away. Yan Zhu, who was beside Xiao Zhen, was holding the signature paper with a cheerful look. She turned to look at Xiao Zhen and said, "Brother, the big star Ren is a little strange."
"Hmm?" His emotional ups and downs just now were a bit strange, Xiao Zhen thought to herself.
Yan Zhu said: "Generally, people of his age would ask me to call him brother, not uncle."
Xiao Zhen didn't say anything. He could sense Ren Anzhi's sudden and intense emotional fluctuations just now, but the only two words he could read in his superficial consciousness were "Yan Zhu..."
Yan Zhu and Xiao Zhen walked into the convenience store. Yan Zhu immediately went straight to the snack cabinet as if she was familiar with the place. She looked up and down for a while and pouted.
Seeing that she didn't turn on the "brother, hurry up and buy me some" sister mode, Xiao Zhen asked, "What's wrong? Don't you have the snacks you want to buy?"
“That flavor is gone.”
"What flavor?"
"Orange-raspberry flavor." Yan Zhu stared at a row of colorful snacks and said, she was talking about the popular snack Ququ Roland Puff Bomb in No. 1 Middle School, Xiao Zhen often saw its advertisements on TV. Now the column that originally held the orange-raspberry flavor was empty.
Xiao Zhen said, "If you don't have it, you can buy other flavors." He picked up a bag of cream strawberry flavor and shook it at Yan Zhu.
"No, it has to be that flavor."
"Then I'll buy it next time. Let's eat this today."
"But... I only want orange-scented raspberries..." Yan Zhu muttered a few words in a low voice.
"I'll buy it next time. Let's go."
"...Yeah." Yan Zhu puffed up her cheeks and took the puff.
After returning home, Xiao Zhen recalled Yan Zhu's somewhat aggrieved face, so she opened the online shopping software and searched for Ququ Roland Puff Bombs, and found that this was a snack that was only sold offline in physical stores, and it seemed to be a limited edition. Ha, then I'll buy it next time, Xiao Zhen closed the webpage.
Yan Zhu was carrying the bag of puffs when she arrived at a community park not far from her home. She turned into a small path on the right side of the park and walked into the rockery behind the shrubs. Usually, except for the sanitation workers who cleaned the place, almost no one would come here.
Yan Zhu picked up the puffs and slapped the snack bag, making a rustling sound. She looked at the green plants around her and whispered, "Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen..."
There was only the sound of wind blowing around.
Yan Zhu grabbed the puff bag and tore open the package . She shook the puffs that exuded fragrance inside and observed her surroundings patiently and carefully. She called softly again: "Zhenzhen..."
She knew that if she waited a little longer, the furry little thing would appear.
…
…
It all started more than half a month ago.
At that time, Mr. Cat and Captain Madara II at home suddenly disappeared without a trace, and Yan Zhu became determined to find the two beloved pets at home.
With the help of her mother, she printed a dozen missing pet notices for Mr. Cat and Captain Spotted and distributed them everywhere, but there was still no clue about Mr. Cat and Captain Spotted. In a big city, looking for an ordinary cat and an ordinary chicken is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Her classmate Cheng Jiaying said that there are always a group of stray cats wandering in the nearby community park all year round, and Mr. Cat from her family might be among the stray cats in the park and let himself go.
So Yan Zhu ran to the park as soon as school was over. She wanted to drag her brother Yan Zhen to look for them together, but her brother said that the school celebration was about to start and he had performance rehearsals after class every day, so he really couldn't spare the time to accompany her to look for cats and chickens.
After class that day, she walked around the park, but found nothing as usual. Yan Zhu sighed and was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly saw a cat poking its head out of the bushes and staring at her.
Yan Zhu's first subconscious reaction was to reach out and whisper, "Mimi."
After staring at each other for three seconds, Yan Zhu suddenly realized that this was not a cat. Cats don't have long drooping ears. Is this a rabbit? But it is quite different from the little rabbit in her concept. The body of this little thing is more round, and its mouth is not the three-petal mouth of a rabbit.
She called out hesitantly, "Bunny?"
Frightened by her voice, the fluffy little creature shrank back. Yan Zhu ran over quickly, and the little creature jumped up and jumped directly onto the tree. Yan Zhu looked at it from under the tree, and it lay on the tree and stared back at her.
Ah, how cute, Yan Zhu thought to herself. She was now certain that this little thing was not a rabbit. It had a long fluffy tail that swayed from side to side nervously under her gaze.
"I won't hurt you." Yan Zhu said to it. How can we build a good relationship with small animals? Yes, food. Only food can make small animals let down their guard.
"I have food!" Yan Zhu said. She opened her schoolbag, which contained a bag of cod fillets. She shook the bag and gestured to the little creature. Then she took out a piece and threw it upwards. The first two times she failed, but the third time she landed on a thick branch in front of the little creature. It stared at her suspiciously.
"This is edible!" She took out a piece of cod fillet from the package, put it into her mouth, and began to chew it with relish. "It tastes good, come and try it!" She forced out a smile that she thought was harmless.
The little creature was observing her with a cautious attitude. It did not approach the cod fillet on the thick branch. Its expression was as if Yan Zhu had thrown some poison at it. Yan Zhu thought about it and took two steps back.
The little thing is still very alert.
Yan Zhu had to take a few steps back. The little thing finally stared at her cautiously, leaned close to the cod fillet and sniffed it, and then, snap—
The little thing slapped the dried cod away coldly.
Ah, damn it! Yan Zhu couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but the moment her eyes met the little thing's, the only thought left in her mind was "so cute, so cute, really cute".
The little thing looked down upon her haughtily from the tree, with a look of disdain, and jumped on the branches before disappearing into the woods.
It's so cute, I want to hug it, Yan Zhu thought as she reluctantly left the park. Her mind was filled with the little thing, and Mr. Cat and Captain Ban were forgotten.
"I saw some very cute little animals!" Yan Zhu said to her brother after returning home.
"Oh, what animal is it?" Yan Zhen asked.
"It's fluffy and cuter than a cat!" Yan Zhu gestured, "It looks like a rabbit but not a rabbit."
"weasel?"
"It's a cuter little animal than a weasel!"
Yan Zhen said, "I don't know." After that, he did not comment on the small animals Yan Zhu met. Because of the disappearance of Mr. Cat and Captain Ban, his brother was too shocked and became a little stupid. Yan Zhu generously forgave his brother.
The next day, Yan Zhu brought cat cans and cat snacks from home to the park again, trying to seduce the little creature. Sure enough, the little creature was still there, but unfortunately, it still maintained a disdainful and indifferent attitude towards the cat cans and cat snacks that Yan Zhu brought.
It first sniffed cautiously, then quickly jumped to a bush far enough away, keeping a pair of eyes on Yan Zhu's movements. It seemed to be afraid of her, but it was not panicking, but seemed to be observing her.
What does it eat if it doesn’t eat canned cat food, cat snacks, or dried cod? At this moment, she saw a deflated packaging bag lying quietly next to the little thing, with the words “Ququ Roland Puff Bomb” written on it.
Yan Zhu remembered the advertisement of this snack. Some classmates in the class also brought some to eat and heard that they tasted good. Then she saw a wonderful scene. The little thing picked up the package with its two front paws, then deftly opened the package and sniffed the smell. This time Yan Zhu saw a very satisfied expression, instead of the indifference it had just shown when facing the cat canned food and cat snacks.
"You want to eat this?" Yan Zhu asked tentatively. The little creature ignored her and continued to sniff the smell of the packaging bag intoxicatedly, but its eyes never left her.
Okay, I'll buy it for you.
Yan Zhu turned and left the park, the image of the little thing sniffing the packaging bag still lingering in her mind. In short, it was extremely cute. She just wanted to hug it immediately, rub it hard, and bury her head in the little thing's soft belly and take a big sip.
Sure enough, the convenience store not far away had "Ququ Roland Puff Bombs". Yan Zhu recalled the color of the packaging bag and chose the orange raspberry flavor.
After reappearing at the hiding place of the little creature this time, Yan Zhu felt a clear difference from before. As soon as the little creature saw the "Ququ Luolan" in Yan Zhu's hand, it jumped out. It stood upright like a squirrel, with its two little paws tucked in front of its body, and its eyes fixed on Puff.
"This is what you wanted..." Yan Zhu said slowly. She tore open the bag and showed the puff inside to the little thing. It stood still for a few seconds, took a few steps forward, but then stopped moving. Yan Zhu could feel its desire for the bag in her hand, but in its eyes, Yan Zhu was an eyesore.
"Okay, I'll give you one." Yan Zhu threw out a puff. The little thing jumped to catch the puff, and then started to chew it with a crunchy sound.
It really wants to eat this.
It was much smarter than she thought.
Soon, it ate all the puffs in its paws. Its eyes were fixed on the puff bag in her hand, and then looked at Yan Zhu. Its eyes moved back and forth, obviously thinking about how to drive away Yan Zhu who was in the way so as to get the bag of puffs.
"Do you want a whole bag?" Yan Zhu asked, holding up the bag.
The little thing sniffed its nose and opened its mouth. Ah, this little mouth looks like it is smiling when it opens. It is so cute!!!
Without any thought, Yan Zhu threw the whole bag of puffs to it in a trance. It jumped over and caught it, and rushed to the farthest bush like lightning. It hugged the bag of puffs tightly and turned to look at Yan Zhu.
Anyway, I have taken the first step towards success.
Then she named the little thing Zhenzhen.
…
…
After many days of fighting over food, Yan Zhu discovered that this little creature was very picky about food. Among the many snacks Yan Zhu brought, it was only interested in "Ququ Luolan Puff Bombs". There were seven or eight flavors of "Ququ Luolan Puff Bombs", but it only wanted the orange raspberry flavor and would not eat any other flavors.
"Zhenzhen, how can you be so picky about food!" Yan Zhu took a stance and complained to it.
But the little creature sat on the ground, nibbling its puffs leisurely, and ignored Yan Zhu's questioning. After several days of being fed with food to its liking, the little creature judged Yan Zhu as a harmless object. When Yan Zhu appeared in front of it, its posture was no longer as tense as before, but this did not mean that the distance between them had shortened - Yan Zhu had gained the power to knead its body without restraint.
The only good news: Yan Zhu can now stand two meters away from it.
But it is limited to two meters. As long as Yan Zhu dares to take a step that violates the effective distance of these two meters, the little thing will immediately turn around and run away, climb directly onto the tree, and shake the branches to make a rustling sound to express its protest to Yan Zhu.
It's as difficult to deal with as my brother, so there's nothing wrong with calling it Zhenzhen.
Yan Zhu grumbled in her heart, but as soon as she saw the cute and sweet appearance of the little thing, all her dissatisfaction disappeared. As long as she continued to supply "Ququ Roland Puff Bomb", she would be able to bring this wonderful little thing home one day to surprise her brother and parents.
Her brother can have Mr. Cat and Captain Ban II (these two pets suddenly returned), and Yanzhu can of course also have the super cute furry Zhenzhen.
But her fluffy strategy has recently encountered an obstacle. The orange-raspberry flavored Ququ Roland puff bombs have suddenly become a little hard to buy. She hasn't been able to buy any in the past few days, and she has to rely on past stock to support herself. Today, she and her brother went to the convenience store just now, and the orange-raspberry flavored puffs were out again.
Yan Zhu had no choice but to take the cream strawberry puffs and pray for the arrival of the fluffy little thing in the park.
After she shook the bag for a long time, the little thing swaggered out.
"Zhenzhen?" Yan Zhu held up the puffs a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, we only have strawberry flavor today."
The little thing stopped and stared at the puff in Yan Zhu's hand for a while, then turned and jumped onto the tree. Its face was full of condemnation, as if to say, how could you fool me and deceive me with other flavors?
"It's okay to have strawberry flavor occasionally."
But the little thing was extremely cold. It looked at Yan Zhu with pride, and after confirming that she did not have the orange-raspberry flavored puffs it liked, it hopped and swayed among the branches and left.
Yan Zhu sighed dejectedly.
Before going to school the next day, she went to the small supermarket near the school, but still couldn't buy the puffs she wanted.
Seeing that she looked sad, Cheng Jiaying asked her if she had any worries.
Yan Zhu blinked and said no. Then she remembered that Ren Anzhi had signed for her yesterday, and took out the signed paper from her schoolbag to show her friend.
"Ren Anzhi's autograph? Wow, that's great!" Cheng Jiaying screamed while holding the autograph paper. Her voice attracted the attention of the female classmates next to her. When they heard about Ren Anzhi, they all gathered around and looked at the autograph paper with envy.
"That's great!" "I also want Ren Anzhi's autograph." "I want it too!" the female classmates said in unison.
"Yan Zhu? Your signature..." A girl looked at Yan Zhu and spoke, she hesitated, with a subtle smile on her face. She was Zhu Haoting, the monitor of Yan Zhu's class.
Yan Zhu asked, "What's wrong with this signature?"
Zhu Haoting pointed at the signature and said, "Did Ren Anzhi write your name wrong?"
"ah?"
"Look, I recognize the character Yan, but this character doesn't look like Zhu at all."
Yan Zhu was stunned, and she looked down. Because her mind was full of the fluffy little thing, she didn't even look at the words on the signature after receiving it. The words on the paper were written in a sloppy manner, but she could barely make out the three words "Ren Anzhi", and when she looked carefully at the two words "Yan Zhu", as Zhu Haoting said, the word after Yan was indeed not "Zhu".
When the female classmates saw that the handwriting was wrong, they said a few times, "Maybe the celebrity made a mistake," "It's okay, just sign it later," and "Even if it's wrong, it's still commemorative significance," and then left with subtle smiles.
Yan Zhu put away the signature paper in a gloomy mood. When she opened her schoolbag, the packaging bag of cream strawberry flavored puffs popped out. Suddenly, her mood became even worse.
