Chapter 5 The Truth About Hoth Part 1
The afternoon sun is always extremely beautiful. Even the ginkgo trees at Ande College cannot resist its enthusiasm, casting silver starlight on the green grass.
On the white wooden bench embraced by the stars, a beam of blazing sunlight shines through the layers of ginkgo leaves, shrouding the lovely girl with a sad face on the bench...
"Oh!" I let out a long, heavy sigh. I could see the air I exhaled suddenly turning into dark clouds and curling smoke, drifting away with the wind.
That’s right, that sad girl is me.
Looking at the densely packed expense list in my hand, my resentment is about to surround the entire Ande College. As soon as I arrived at the college today, I received a collection notice from the college pet center. I couldn't believe that even if my grandfather helped me pay half of the fee, Huos's expenses were still a huge number. The cost of Huos's feed for a meal was actually my meal money for a week, not to mention the massage fee, bathing fee, trimming fee, etc.
I am so poor that I can only eat white rice and vegetables, but I still have to drag along such a heavy burden as Hoss. Of course, it is a sweet burden.
Woohoo, Fox's dinner yesterday was a 50-dollar fruit salad. I haven't eaten fruit for a long time. I suddenly felt that I am living worse than a horse.
After coming to Ande College, I have placed Fox in the college's pet center. Normally, I would go to the pet center every day during breaks or after school to see Fox, take him for a walk, and chat with him. However, I didn't know that his consumption level was so high!
"Alas!" I sighed again, God, is this your punishment for me insisting on taking Hoss with me?
Looking at the bright and dazzling sun, I might have been dazzled by the sun. In my eyes, the sun turned into Joseph's handsome face. He disappeared after lunch. I guess he went to collect some gossip again!
Alas! It seems that I am the only one in the world who always has nothing to do, so bored that I can only count ants during lunch break!
With a "bang", my head was poked by an unknown object and it hurt. While rubbing the painful area, I glared at the "murderer" next to me with a displeased look on my face.
It was Joseph! When did he show up?
"You've been standing here in a daze for the whole afternoon. What are you thinking about?" Joseph asked me innocently, throwing away the branch in his hand. "You didn't take a break in the middle of the day and came here to take up a seat."
"No, no!" I lied in a panic, and hid the collection notice in my hand behind my back without leaving any trace. The excellent family honor education I received since childhood made it impossible for me to say that I was troubled by having no money.
Joseph frowned instantly, half-squinted his eyes and looked suspiciously at me for a long time, then looked at the library behind him, squinted at me and said lazily: "Sneaky, based on my years of experience as a gossiper, you are definitely hiding something from me. And you are staying in a library, a holy place for dating or confession. What's going on? Is someone confessing to you, or are you going to write a love letter to someone?"
"No, no! Really not, don't get me wrong." I immediately raised my hands and shook them in denial. I was almost annoyed by , how could I have the mind to think about dating or confessing my feelings? Besides, this kind of thing is not allowed for a well-educated young lady. Joseph is slandering me!
"Huh! You're nervous, guilty, and anxious, and you still say it's not a date?" Joseph's shrewd eagle eyes stared at me. It seemed that in his eyes, I was so transparent that I had nowhere to escape. It was simply a foolish dream to want to hide it from him.
Looking up with my watery eyes, I looked at Joseph pitifully. If I didn't explain clearly, Joseph would definitely doubt who I was really dating.
I slowly stretched out my little fist and slowly spread out my fingers that had turned white from being clenched. In the palm of my palm was the debt collection notice that I had crumpled into a ball.
"Breaking news. Which reckless guy would dare to confess his love to an ancient person like you?" Seeing the collection notice in my hand, Joseph frowned heavily at first, then suddenly put on a gossipy face, took the paper ball in my hand and looked at it.
"No." I sighed helplessly and looked at Joseph in frustration. Maybe he was so capable that he could help me think of a solution. Maybe he could help me raise a fund and let all the teachers and students in the college donate money to help me support Fox. Hehe, I have even thought of a name for the association - Hermes!
"Debt collection notice?" Joseph's sword-like brows wrinkled into an embarrassed expression when he saw the three big bold words on the paper.
"Yeah!" I nodded weakly. "I didn't know that Hoss's expenses were so high, but I really can't bear to send it back to Europe!"
Maybe to everyone, Fox is just an ordinary pet horse, although its fur color is very charming, its sense of smell is very sensitive, and it is very psychic, but other than that, there is nothing else. However, to me, it also carries many sweet and precious memories of my childhood. It is my relative, my child, how can I abandon it?
"Have you been worrying here for so long just because of such a small matter?" Joseph looked at me sarcastically with contempt.
"Small matter?" I couldn't help but scream. This was the first time I was worried about money!
"The Gossip Club and the Pet Center have always had a cooperative relationship. Maybe I can talk to the teacher at the Pet Center and let you work there to pay off your debts, and lunch will be provided." Joseph looked at me proudly and said, and at the end, he blinked at me confidently, which instantly made me dizzy.
I even had hallucinations. A pair of large wings suddenly grew behind Joseph in front of me. His body was shrouded in golden light, and countless white doves of peace were flying around him. He looked so tall and sacred.
Joseph, you are definitely sent by God to save me.
"Can you help me?" I hugged Joseph's arms with joy and blinked my exaggerated starry eyes.
Facing my admiration, Joseph swallowed awkwardly, his bright black eyes rolled around, and he slapped my hand away with a look of disgust: "I am doing a good deed every day, and I have a great time. You, an ancient man, occupy such a good dating place. Do you know how wronged those young couples are?"
"Hey! Then can you take me to the pet center for an interview?" I quickly put on a flattering smile. As long as Hoss can stay, I am willing to do anything. Besides, there must be a lot of pets in the pet center. As the president of the "Pet Protection Association", I will definitely play to my strengths!
