Chapter 1077: Chapter 613: Doesn’t Understand_2
With his actions, the wolfdog panted fawningly, just like a lapdog.
Lao Zhuang laughed heartily.
Uncle Zhang’s face dropped to the ground, and after a while, he thought of an idea: "It’s not that my dog is useless, it’s that my dog is very understanding."
"My dog, the stronger the person it faces, the more obedient it becomes." Uncle Zhang tried to salvage the situation.
Uncle Zhang winked at Jiang Ning, implying to cooperate a bit, there’s something in it for you:
"Like this young man here, don’t be fooled by his slim build, he’s got a knack for arm wrestling, can match me evenly."
Lao Zhuang chuckled at that time: "Old Zhang, did you lose your mind?"
"Just him?"
Lao Zhuang is a butcher, and slaughtering cattle is a work of strength, his power is formidable, he didn’t take it to heart at all.
But Uncle Zhang spoke seriously, so Lao Zhuang extended the invitation.
Xue Yuantong shielded him from the challenge: "Arm wrestling requires an appearance fee from him."
Lao Zhuang: "How convenient, I brought a pound of beef tripe today, if you can beat me..."
Five minutes later, amidst the commotion, Jiang Ning got himself a pound of beef tripe.
Lao Zhuang stared blankly at the stone roller.
Uncle Zhang felt relieved, finally, he wasn’t the only one who lost.
...
In the afternoon, river dam.
Jiang Ning rode his electric scooter, taking Xue Yuantong to school.
At noon, with few people at the river dam, Xue Chuchu also rode her electric scooter, accompanying them.
"After the last two classes in the afternoon, it’s a holiday!" Xue Yuantong was happy, she loved holidays the most.
"How about we go pet the orange tabby after school?"
Today, the photo of Bai Yuxia holding the orange tabby was sent to the class group, and somehow, someone posted it on the school’s forum.
The current moderator of Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School’s forum is Wang Longlong, under his management, the Fourth Middle School forum is well-organized.
He often posts campus gossip in the forum, especially fond of gossip between boys and girls, and all kinds of handsome guys and pretty girls, greatly filling the content of the forum.
This made the browsing experience of the Fourth Middle School forum quite pleasant, and with the forum’s current popularity, although past its peak, it hasn’t declined too much.
Wang Longlong intentionally added fuel to the fire, and the photo of Bai Yuxia holding the cat gained a small fame.
Now, many Fourth Middle School students are teaming up to find the orange tabby.
Xue Yuantong is not someone who likes joining the fun, but since Jiang Ning took Chen Siyu and the others, she couldn’t miss out.
"Alright, alright, I’ll take you." Jiang Ning said.
"What about you, Chuchu, do you want to go?" Xue Yuantong asked.
"Uh? I..." Xue Chuchu hesitated instinctively.
"Alright, I’ll go by myself then." Xue Yuantong decided firmly.
Xue Chuchu: "??"
She hadn’t even finished speaking!
What’s up with Tongtong? When did she become so decisive?
Xue Chuchu was quite puzzled.
Jiang Ning silently observed this scene, he thought that Chuchu’s hesitation syndrome might be cured by Xue Yuantong over time.
...
After arriving at the classroom, Xue Yuantong buried her head in sleep, preparing for the afternoon’s milk tea session.
Jiang Ning went to rest in the corridor outside, and shortly, Geng Lu stood by his side.
"It’s so funny, just a few days ago at noon, when I returned home, several neighbors were chatting, and an old lady was struggling to look at her phone with a magnifying glass, seeing her struggle, I helped her enlarge the font."
"Now, everyone in the neighborhood thinks I study software development."
Jiang Ning chuckled lightly: "They are like that, I’ve had similar experiences, some elderly have really bad phone plans, I helped them cancel some services, and they said I have connections in the telecom bureau."
Geng Lu sighed: "They don’t seem to adapt well to today’s society."
She looked towards the campus, gazing at those youthful students, and sighed: "Actually, when I think about it, they were once also strong in life, weren’t they?"
"But once people age, they become confused, gradually being eliminated by society."
"Do you think I’ll become like that someday?" Geng Lu appeared a bit melancholic.
Jiang Ning: "You won’t."
Geng Lu didn’t ask why, just nodded lightly: "Mm."
"After school this afternoon, can we go see the kitty?" Geng Lu, an internet savant, naturally saw the stunning picture of Bai Yuxia holding an orange cat.
She wanted Jiang Ning to take a picture for her.
Jiang Ning scanned her with the Divine Sense and said, "You might not be suitable?"
Geng Lu was puzzled, "Hmm?"
"Because..." Jiang Ning specifically used Spiritual Power to transmit, "The cat’s paws are a bit mischievous."
An image immediately popped into Geng Lu’s mind, and thinking of the cat’s paws kneading on her, she suddenly felt very embarrassed.
However, this little difficulty did not deter her, and she suggested:
"Then let’s go when there are fewer people."
The two of them were chatting here, while a little further away, Ji Xuan from class 9 was leaning on the balcony, quietly paying attention to the commotion over here.
Observant people could notice, his ears twitching, full of vitality.
The secret eavesdropping technique activated, all the conversation flowed into his ears.
Ji Xuan immediately understood everything, hehe, rejected, it’s good to be rejected!
The more he looked at Geng Lu, the better she seemed!
Unexpectedly, the girl who wasn’t outstanding in middle school has become so attractive after entering high school.
It’s just that the boy next to her is somewhat of an eyesore.
Ji Xuan had run into Geng Lu with this boy more than once, ’No, I must take action, otherwise someone else might get ahead of me.’
Ji Xuan thought of the patisserie with the orange cat they mentioned and got an idea.
If he could go see the orange cat with Geng Lu, he would have the legitimate chance to take a picture of Geng Lu, and then send it to their former middle school classmates, like Ye Mengchen and the others, he wondered how much of a stir it would cause.
Just then, the boy next to Geng Lu who was an eyesore left.
Ji Xuan quickly walked toward the entrance of class 8.
Inside the class 8 classroom.
Jiang Yanan invited Jiang Ning to enlighten their sister group.
Jiang Ning stood there, noticing Shen Qing’e and Lu Qiqi. Compared to Lu Qiqi’s enthusiasm, Shen Qing’e had a cold face, looking like the sulky face she wore in a past life, as if someone owed her money.
One look at her made Jiang Ning feel bouts of discomfort.
Jiang Yanan was very nice, she had no notorious points in class 8, not as extreme as Yu Wen and Lu Qiqi, her appearance was above average, with particularly fair skin, she was the kind of girl that boys dared to approach.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yanan liked boys whose parents had both passed away, so far none of the boys in class 8 met her criteria.
Even the morally corrupt Liu Chuandao couldn’t fake his status, it really was a lack of great virtue.
"Jiang Ning, I asked Bai Yuxia, she said you made the kitty behave, how did you manage that?" Jiang Yanan sincerely asked.
"Maybe the cat and I have fate." Jiang Ning replied.
Seeing that Jiang Ning didn’t offer a logical explanation, Lu Qiqi got a little agitated: "Their bubble tea costs 16 bucks a cup, spent all that money, and the staff didn’t even help us entertain the kitty, I’m thinking of boycotting this shop."
Cui Yu seized the opportunity to counter: "Your spending ≠ the kitty receiving a gift."
Lu Qiqi abruptly looked up, shooting a murderous glare at Cui Yu.
...
The corridor outside the classroom.
Ji Xuan dressed in a full Adidas outfit, wore New Balance dad shoes.
He tidied his hair and straightened his collar, wearing a gentlemanly smile with a hint of a familiar reunion.
"Hi, Geng Lu." He greeted.
Geng Lu, seeing him, responded with a plain attitude, devoid of any enthusiasm.
Ji Xuan didn’t mind, he glanced towards the class 8 classroom, recalling the conversation between the two earlier.
He said, "The orange cat is quite popular lately, want to check it out after school?"
Geng Lu: "We’ll see."
Ji Xuan knowingly asked, "Haha, anyone else accompanying you?"
Geng Lu said nothing.
Ji Xuan, who heard the entire conversation earlier, was well aware of the situation, he adopted a god-like viewpoint to stir up trouble:
"That was your friend, right? Is he going with you? Will he be upset if I go see the orange cat with you?"
"Don’t let it affect your relationship."
"However, the patisserie’s orange cat is indeed fun, if he understands you, he’d surely want to accompany you, right?"
He said a few words meant to provoke conflict.
Geng Lu, hearing this, her expression turned cold, retorted: "He doesn’t know anything, so what? I spoil him!"
