Chapter 63 Please Eat Something
While waiting for the customized aircraft to arrive, Xiaozhen curiously observed Choi Mingzhi's daily life.
At Choi Ming-chi's age, even in the galactic civilization society, he is still a minor who needs to be cared for by a guardian.
Since his parents were physically washed down the drain, Choi Ming-chi is now a poor orphan. Although it's all Pu Pu's fault, it seems that Xiao Zhen is also responsible for Choi Ming-chi's current state. After all, Pu Pu ran away right under Xiao Zhen's nose.
This made Xiaozhen feel that she needed to pay attention to Cui Mingzhi.
Xiaozhen went to Cui Mingzhi's house. It had only been a few days, but his kitchen trash can was already full of instant noodle plastic bowls. When Xiaozhen entered the house, Cui Mingzhi was talking to three silkworms in a paper box.
"My three ancestors, please have some." Cui Mingzhi picked up a mulberry leaf and said sincerely, "Look at this mulberry leaf, it's fresh and delicious, green and juicy. One bite will make you ten years younger, and one bite will make your legs and feet stronger."
"What are you doing?"
Cui Mingzhi stared at the three silkworms and said, "I am trying to persuade these three ancestors to have a meal."
“They don’t eat anymore?”
"It seems that they think the mulberry leaves are too old and are reluctant to eat them." Cui Mingzhi stroked the mulberry leaves. "I ordered mulberry leaves from two more Taobao stores, hoping that they will taste good."
"You're so picky."
Cui Mingzhi nodded, "Yes! They are very picky! They won't eat leaves that are a little older." He pointed at the three silkworms in the paper box, holding their heads high and refusing to lower their standards. "But think about it, they were all human beings. It's really unfair for them to suddenly only be able to eat mulberry leaves."
No, they are just three ordinary silkworms.
Cui Mingzhi pointed at one of the silkworms and said, "Look, this should be my dad. He was plump and round a few days ago, but he has become thinner in the past two days." The silkworm held its head high, as if it was going on a hunger strike if the silkworm didn't give it delicious mulberry leaves.
He reached out and touched this "daddy". "Daddy" lowered its head slightly, and its round and smooth body rubbed against his fingers. Cui Mingzhi's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
It is really a scene of loving father and filial son.
But this silkworm is really just an ordinary silkworm.
The corner of Xiaozhen's mouth twitched.
He felt it necessary to save Choi Ming-chi, who recognized the insect as his father.
"Eat mulberry leaves!" "Eat mulberry leaves for me!" "Eat mulberry leaves for me!" Xiao Zhen sent three instructions in a row and threw them into the pitifully small brains of the three silkworms. The three silkworms immediately turned into emotionless eating machines, and they immediately started to chew the mulberry leaves without caring whether they were old or not, or whether they tasted bad or not.
“Dad, you finally figured it out!” Cui Mingzhi shouted happily, “Yes, yes, that’s right, we just need to eat well.”
Yes, eat well, cocoon quickly and ascend to heaven quickly.
When Teacher Feng walked into the classroom, there was a sense of tragic heroism all over his body.
"The school sports meet is about to begin."
When he announced the news, the class was very quiet, without even a perfunctory response. Teacher Feng did not lose heart, but leaned on the podium with both hands and began his mobilization speech for the sports meeting.
From Xiaozhen's perspective, the reason is that the class's performance in the sports meet last semester was really shameful, and they must make up for it this time no matter what. Please ask all students to work hard and not let the teacher suffer public punishment again.
Teacher Feng's speech was full of enthusiasm, but the students in the class did not buy it. When Teacher Feng's mobilization speech was over, the students were expressionless and even yawned.
But the morale of the class teacher was not crushed so quickly, and he quickly assigned two people to help him. "Class monitor Liu Xingquan, sports committee member Xiang Zeyu, you are responsible for mobilizing students to sign up for the competition."
In a closed space like a campus, the tools have no choice but to obey orders given by the teacher, the highest authority.
When the get out of class was over, Liu Xingquan and Xiang Zeyu had to find students one by one to encourage them to participate in the competition. Liu Xingquan was responsible for mobilizing the girls, and Xiang Zeyu was responsible for mobilizing the boys.
The reality is very cruel. As soon as these two agents of Teacher Feng's will, the supreme class leaders, came to the students and before they could say anything, the students made various gestures such as "I am weak, I am not good enough, I am super bad at sports."
Xiaozhen watched Liu Xingquan being rejected by four girls in a row with perfunctory reasons such as "I am really weak", and then Liu Xingquan came to Song Jiarui. He looked Song Jiarui up and down, and before Song Jiarui could speak, Liu Xingquan bypassed Song Jiarui.
Indeed, if Liu Xingquan forced Song Jiarui, a delicate and timid girl who went to the infirmary four times a month, to go into battle, he would be really a cruel person.
As for the boys, Xiang Zeyu was using his connections to lobby one by one, but the friendship between good friends was extremely tragic in the face of reality, and he didn't attract many people. In the end, Xiang Zeyu had to use his trump card: if you participate in the competition, I will buy you milk tea, a big cup of milk tea.
Of course the result was not good.
Now Xiang Zeyu came to Xiao Zhen and slapped the competition list on Xiao Zhen's desk. "Warrior, are you interested?"
Xiaozhen glanced at the entry form and asked him what prizes he would get if he won the school sports meet.
"A certificate of honor, and a thermos cup."
"goodbye."
"Yan Zhen, I can only rely on you!!" Xiang Zeyu sat in front of him and began to cry. If Xiao Zhen hadn't seen him perform the same trick in front of nine boys before, she would probably have believed him.
"I'm weak, so forget it." Xiao Zhen said to him.
"Yan Zhen, why don't you join one just to show your appreciation?" Xiang Zeyu picked up the project list and shouted eagerly, "Come on, take a look, which one do you want to join?"
"Not really interested."
"Yan Zhen, are we friends? Please at least give me some face."
Xiao Zhen was about to answer that they were not friends, when he heard Liu Xingquan's delighted voice: "You want to participate?" Wei Jingjing in front of him nodded: "Yes."
"Look, Miss Wei Jingjing is going to participate!" Xiang Zeyu shouted.
Liu Xingquan was holding a list of events and asking Wei Jingjing which event she wanted to participate in. "Long jump?" Wei Jingjing nodded.
"Shot put?" Wei Jingjing nodded.
"100-meter sprint?" Wei Jingjing nodded.
"400-meter run?" Wei Jingjing nodded.
This is not good.
Xiao Zhen immediately cut off Wei Jingjing's series of responses.
(Why? I think I can do either.) The slime mold Wei Jingjing asked him consciously in his mind.
(Humans don't attend that many at once.)
(But I think I can do either. It makes everyone happy, isn’t it good?)
(Human behavior is not designed to please others. You should participate selectively.)
The slime mold Wei Jingjing seemed to understand but not quite.
Xiao Zhen felt a little headache. The slime mold could ask these questions, which showed that she had learned to think independently and make her own judgments. If this continued, the slime mold's personality program would run less and less in the mode planned by Xiao Zhen. But now the return of the genuine real person Wei Jingjing has obviously been delayed again. He can only watch the slime mold's personality continue to evolve and stare blankly. In the end, this can only be blamed on the jelly monster Pu Pu.
He swore to himself that once he got Pu Pu back and it recovered, he would stuff it into the launch bay and kick it into the universe to let it drift in the interstellar space, letting it roll as far as possible.
When school was over, Xiaozhen called Cui Mingzhi and went to Luo Qingxi's wonton shop with Liu Xingquan.
The restaurant was crowded with people and about 70% of the people were already seated. The three of them sat at a table and ordered wontons.
"Delicious. Delicious." Cui Mingzhi whispered while swallowing wontons.
"Aunt Luo's cooking skills are top-notch," Xiao Zhen said.
Luo Qingxi poked his head out from the counter and asked, "Xiao Ming, are your parents traveling abroad?"
Cui Mingzhi nodded.
Liu Xingquan said, "Mom, can Cui Mingzhi come to our place for dinner from now on?"
"Of course." Luo Qingxi smiled, "It's decided. Come here to eat before your parents come back."
"but……"
"But what? I already have food here besides wontons. It's not a big deal for you to come over and eat." Luo Qingxi said, "It's decided. You and Xingquan come over after school and have dinner before leaving. That's it."
Cui Mingzhi buried his head in the mist of wontons, hummed softly, and then secretly wiped his eyes with his hands.
