Chapter 43 You Promised
After saying goodbye to Fang Die, Yunyun sat in her seat, holding the first cup of milk tea in Mao Mao's life.
He bit the straw in his mouth and sucked with a smacking sound.
"Is it delicious?" He Jingyuan turned his head to look at him.
The boy nodded vigorously and uttered two indistinct "hmm" sounds, obviously very satisfied with the sweet drink.
She quickly finished her own milk tea, leaving He Jingyuan's cup, which she had only taken two sips of, on the table. Yunyun was quick-witted and, before He Jingyuan could react, she swiftly reached out, scooped up the tea, and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
The movements are smooth and seamless.
The kitten didn't mind at all that it was He Jingyuan who had drunk it, and took several sips with the straw in its mouth.
Finally, he bit the straw flat, leaving clear teeth marks.
He Jingyuan's gaze fell on Yunyun's lips, which were stained with a little milk tea and were particularly moist, and his Adam's apple moved imperceptibly.
He stared at her intently and asked, "Do you really want to go over and help? It's boring to sit there all morning."
Upon hearing this, Kitty sighed deeply, her tone heavy. "You don't understand. As the leader of the cats, I have so many things I can't control."
He Jingyuan: ...
What doesn't he understand?
It was because they were bribed by Fang Die's pile of snacks that the greedy cat boss was ready to bring his greedy cat brothers over to eat and drink for free.
Forget it, Yunyun is an adult and has her own decisions to make.
He Jingyuan finally just nodded and asked, "Okay then, let's go there for half a day. My uncle will come to pick us up for lunch at noon."
He paused, changed the subject, and said carefully, "Where do you want to go this weekend? The weather's nice. Do you want to go on a picnic with me?"
Without even thinking, Yunyun immediately shook her head: "No, I want to sleep at home."
He Jingyuan: "Okay."
He also wants to sleep with the cat in his arms.
After drinking half of the milk tea, Yunyun felt a little uncomfortable.
He held the cup tightly in his hand, and suddenly remembered something. He turned to He Jingyuan and said, "Can you wait here for me for a moment? I have something to do."
I have to call a meeting with the cats to deploy a plan to get free food.
He Jingyuan knew what he was going to do as soon as he heard it. He glanced at the time and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, one hour. Remember to come back early."
"I know."
The kitten immediately ran away with the milk tea.
Yunyun’s goal is very clear, which is to go to the express delivery station to find her trusted confidant, Sheriff Yinmi.
The cow cat was squatting on a cardboard box, dozing with its eyes squinted and its tail swinging leisurely.
Yunyun moved over silently, and before the sheriff could react, she grabbed the cat, tucked it under her arm and ran away.
"Meow?" The sheriff was startled and struggled in vain with all four paws in the air.
Yunyun kept walking, her tone extremely serious: "Sheriff, now is the time when we need you!"
When the cow cat heard this, it immediately stopped struggling and a determined look appeared on its face.
The Sheriff is ready to strike!
Yunyun carried it to the gathering place of the kittens, and sure enough, she saw more than a dozen cats of different colors playing there.
When the cats saw the eldest one appear with the second one between them, there was a slight commotion in the group.
As soon as Yunyun threw the sheriff onto the grass, she found that many cats' attention was attracted by the cup of rich and sweet milk tea in his hand.
A few brave cats even came closer and sniffed curiously.
The little orange cat was alert and hid the milk tea on its body with a stern face: "You can't look at it, this is for humans to drink, you can't drink it, it's not good for the kitten's health."
The sheriff shook off his messed-up fur and looked up at the words: "Boss, you are also a kitten..."
Yunyun pointed at herself and said, "But I'm not a kitten now. I'm a villain."
Sheriff: ...
The boy had forgotten what he was going to say. In front of the cats, he picked up the milk tea again and sucked hard on the pearls. He chewed them and said, "This is the milk tea that the sea crucian carp gave me."
He put down the cup and tugged at his clothes: "This was also bought by Hai Crucian Carp."
Then, he raised his hand to hook his hair, and said proudly: "And this, it was combed by the sea crucian carp for me. It feels so comfortable! He combs it for me every day."
Other cats: …………
The sheriff was stunned for a moment. Did the boss pull him over so hastily just to let all the cats listen to the boss's all-encompassing, no-dead-angle bragging?
The cow cat turned around expressionlessly, raised its paw and walked away: "...Boss, if it's nothing important, I'll be leaving first. We'll have dinner soon."
Yunyun then remembered the important matter and quickly stopped it: "Wait!"
He cleared his throat, looked around at the kittens who were a little confused by his show-off, and announced, "In a few days, I'll take you to eat delicious food!"
A cat asked in confusion: "What's delicious?"
Before Fang Die left, Yunyun asked her for a few packets of cat food samples.
He opened the package, put a leaf under it, and poured the cat food on it.
A group of cats gathered around in an instant and ate up all the cat food.
Yunyun was stunned for a moment while holding the packaging bag.
It’s not bad, as long as you can eat it all.
Anyway, just go over and sit there, and each kitten will get a bunch of cat food, so don’t miss it.
And Fang Die had promised him.
As the president of the Cat Association, she absolutely cannot deceive kittens!
Yunyun also knew that this was a great activity to help the kitten find a home.
The cat boss quickly made his move: "Cats that are afraid of people don't have to come. You... bring all the good-looking kittens from your territory. Remember, they have to be good-looking!"
He thought for a moment and added, "If it's not good-looking... lick it clean for me and bring it here."
Yunyun's eyes swept across the cats, pointing precisely at the orange cat squatting in the corner that was even rounder than him: "And you, remember to get that ragdoll cat here too."
Finally, the boy patted the sheriff solemnly and said, "Sheriff, you are my confidant. I leave this matter to you with full responsibility."
The sheriff puffed out his furry chest, nodded solemnly, and let out a steady, "Meow!"
The task will definitely be completed.
…
On the day of the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the playground of Yuncheng University was bustling with people.
The stalls of various clubs were lined up along the runway, and all kinds of sounds were mixed together.
The Cat Association's stall is sandwiched between the Baking Club and the Animation Club. The location is not bad and it is quite conspicuous. You can see it as soon as you walk in.
But it seems a little deserted at this moment.
Fang Die had pulled a few laborers over to help early on, and everyone was sweating as they moved out the sponsored cat food, fans, small dolls, and brochures and arranged them neatly.
Behind him are photos of kittens that have been adopted this year.
He Jingyuan followed behind Lin Qian, looked up, and saw a very familiar little orange cat.
And underneath, there was a pile of Yunyun's mouse-shaped pillows without white edges.
...a bit ugly.
Fang Die stood on tiptoe and looked around anxiously from time to time.
There is still no sign of the senior and the friends he promised to bring.
"Xiao He." Fang Die couldn't help but move closer to He Jingyuan, who was leaning against the stall drinking water, and asked in a low voice: "Is the senior not here yet?"
Don't stand me up!
He Jingyuan screwed the cap on the bottle: "It should be soon."
I glanced around and realized I brought plenty of cat food today, which should be enough to feed the cats...
Lin Qian, who was standing next to him, also wiped his sweat and chimed in: "Yes, senior sister, I met with the senior this morning and he left in a hurry. It might take a long time to prepare."
Fang Die asked him quietly, "Did you only see Senior? Where are his friends?"
Lin Qian was stunned: "Senior is the only one here."
It's over.
Fang Die felt even more uncertain.
Not only did the senior not come, but his friend also didn’t come.
And these friends must be seniors in their senior year, right?
It's already a great honor for someone to take time out of their busy schedule to come and help. What if they come and act pretentiously, or change their mind at the last minute...
The more Fang Die thought about it, the more panicked she became.
Seeing that nothing was happening, He Jingyuan sat in the inner corner of the stall, lowering his head to sort out a pile of brochures.
At this moment, two schoolgirls in skirts, blushing, pushed each other to the side of the stall, their eyes falling on He Jingyuan.
"Hello, senior!" One of them summoned the courage to speak up: "Excuse me...what do the Cat Association usually do?"
There was silence at the stall for a moment. Lin Qian stepped forward, blocking He Jingyuan's way and handed him a brochure. "Our club is mainly responsible for controlling the number of stray cats in the school. We capture, sterilize, and release them, and also find homes for some cats that are suitable for adoption."
The junior girl looked a little disappointed and asked Lin Qian a few questions absentmindedly, and Lin Qian answered them patiently.
But his eyes were always fixed on the tall young man in the corner.
After asking for a long time, the schoolgirl continued to flip through the brochure and raised her voice a little: "So what are the benefits of joining the Cat Association? Just... does that senior have a girlfriend?"
Seeing that she asked so directly, several cat association members who were nearby heard it and immediately burst into good-natured laughter.
Lin Qian smiled and shook his head: "No, junior sister, you don't stand a chance."
Another girl next to him also laughed and joked: "He always brings his family to every regular meeting, rain or shine."
There was no expression on He Jingyuan's face.
After the teasing from his companions subsided a bit, he looked at the school girl calmly.
"Sorry." He Jingyuan said without any hesitation, "There's a boy I like."
After the air froze for a moment, everyone laughed even more happily.
A look of astonishment and embarrassment appeared on the faces of the two school girls. They said "sorry for disturbing you" several times and hurried away.
Lin Qian nudged his elbow and winked at him: "What's going on? You changed your story again?"
He Jingyuan said nothing and continued to organize the brochures with his head down.
Lin Qian couldn't help but snort and laugh.
She was disguising herself very well some time ago, and madly denied having a boyfriend. But He Jingyuan has changed his personality recently, and he almost keeps saying "I like senior" on his forehead.
That yellow-haired senior really managed to keep He Jingyuan in check...
The clubs on both sides are still bustling with activity.
There was a long queue in front of the baking club's stall, and the aroma of freshly baked cakes wafted over to them.
The president was a round-faced boy, handing out samples with a smile on his face.
He took the time to bring over a plate of exquisite cupcakes, with an unconcealable smugness on his face: "Classmates, would you like to try some? There are a lot of people here today, I'm almost overwhelmed."
Fang Die, who was bored to death: ...
Some members of the Cat Association also joined the queue to receive small cakes, and some people went to collect stamps from the cosplayers of the anime club.
The president of the baking club casually glanced at the anime club next door. "Look at all the clubs today. They're spending a fortune on commissioning cosplayers. But they still have to rely on real talent to attract people."
He pointed to the busy figures of his fellow members and the tempting cakes, his sense of superiority was self-evident.
Fang Die gave both parties some dignity and smiled awkwardly.
She also invited a good-looking senior! Although he hasn't arrived yet...
Just as they were feeling embarrassed, a sudden cry of surprise was heard as the crowd approached their direction.
Fang Die and the president of the baking club looked in the direction of the voice at the same time.
Among the crowd, one figure stood out.
The boy had shoulder-length blond hair, dazzlingly white skin, and a pair of extremely realistic, furry cat ears on his head.
A similar cat tail extended from the hem of his delicately embroidered hooded sweatshirt, swaying slightly with his steps.
He Jingyuan, who had remained silent despite Lin Qian's teasing, suddenly stood up.
Lin Qian: ...
The president of the baking club muttered sourly: "Why did you pay a cosplayer to commission you..."
His voice stopped abruptly, his smile froze on his face, and his eyes instantly became as big as copper bells.
Because behind the boy, there is a group of cats!
A group of living cats!
At a glance, there were more than twenty of them!
Twenty or so kittens!
This combination instantly attracted everyone's attention, with exclamations and photos coming one after another, and the crowd involuntarily made way for them.
The baking club, which originally had a long queue, instantly lost all its limelight.
No one can refuse a cute little kitty!
Fang Die was completely petrified on the spot, her mind blank.
Yunyun finally walked up to her with difficulty.
The yellow-haired senior accepted the attention very calmly, and the cat ears on his head shook twice very quickly and flexibly.
He looked at Fang Die, who was in a daze, with a hint of expectation and confirmation in his eyes: "Do you still keep your word?"
He pointed behind him and said, "My friends are here to help. You promised me that you would give them cat food."
The group of little kittens behind him squatted down obediently, and dozens of pairs of round cat eyes focused on Fang Die.
The sound of cats meowing one after another suddenly rang out in front of the stall.
