Chapter 23: visit

Halfway to the market, Hua Yun turned her head to look behind her from time to time.
The cat trailed behind them, stepped at the same speed as them, did not catch up after a certain distance, just followed.
Hua Yun was strange at the cat's actions, and looked at it with a strange expression. The cat didn't care about her gaze, she should stop and walk, and she didn't follow the consciousness of being found.
"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, this cat is so strange." She pushed her younger brother who was obsessed with the new book, and called him back from the state of intoxication. "I want to hug it and he refuses, but it always follows us. ."
The two elder brothers stopped and turned to intersect the sight of the cat who also stopped behind, and looked at each other.
They stopped and the cat stopped too, which was quite strange.
"Xiao Ling, go and give it a try."
Putting the book in his younger brother's hand back into the bag, Hua Yun pushed her younger brother to approach the cat sitting on the spot.
"Hey-me?"
"Of course." She said of course.
Facing her sister's constant urging, Hua Yueling had to step forward to the cat, and slowly bent over and stretched out her hand, trying to hug it in her arms as soft as possible without frightening her.
Hua Yueling turned her back to the sun, and the shadow was on the cat. Maybe in the cat's eyes, she was like an approaching devil, he thought.
Focusing on the cat, he noticed that the cat tilted its small head, which looked exactly like a human being when he was thinking, and it was even more cute for the cat to make such movements.
Put your hand on the cat's head and stroke it, "meow" the cat yelled as if talking to him.
"kitten."
The cat did not run away, nor refused his actions, so obediently that he was picked up. But before he stayed in his arms long, the cat broke free and lay on his shoulders.
"It's just for you to hold it. Why does it run away as soon as I want to hold it? Do you hate me so much?"
Seeing that the kitten was really being held in her arms by her younger brother, Hua Yun stretched out her fingers and poked the cat’s nose slightly unhappy. Unexpectedly, the cat dodges right and left and avoided her fingers, no matter what, she is unwilling Let her touch herself.
"You didn't get out of the way when you touched you before, so why don't you want to."
"Meow!" It seemed that the cat understood her words and called in response, but it was a pity that neither Hua Yun nor Hua Yueling understood cat language, nor did she know what it was saying.
After they finished buying vegetables in the vegetable market, they went back to their doorstep, and the cat sat quietly on Hua Yueling's shoulders. The door was opened, but it jumped down, yelled "meow" at Hua Yueling several times, and then went down the stairs.
"Why did you run away?"
Hua Yueling ran for two steps, his speed was naturally incomparable with the cat. After going downstairs, the cat had already run out of shadow.
"Forget it."
He originally planned to raise the cat, but since it ran away, he had to forget it.
The door of the house was still open, Hua Yun went in first, and there were messy sounds in the kitchen, and she was quite busy.
"Sister Yun, I'll help you wash the vegetables."
"Xiaoling, go back to the house and read a book. Sister cooks alone. Just wait. Sister will call you when you are done."
Before Hua Yueling could enter the kitchen, she was "driven" out by Hua Yun and refused his help.
In the next few days, by not having to go to school, Hua Yueling almost stayed at home to study and study. It took a lot of time to concentrate on studying, and the effect was not bad, so he gained confidence and accepted the task before the third day deadline.
"I can't work harder now." He secretly cheered on himself. The next time he stayed at home and spent all his time on books, he also worked hard to complete the task within the prescribed time. Hua Yun would come to his house every day to take him out for a circle, so as to save him from becoming a fool at home.
They go out at basically the same time every day. It is worth noting that no matter how they change the route, Zhunbao will meet that strange cat halfway, except for the occasional one or two days.
It seems that the cat has no owner, and after encountering it, it will actively jump to Hua Yueling. Just like that day, lying on his shoulders, he will leave quietly when they go home.
"Maybe it is a psychic cat, or it may be a cat demon."
"It's not impossible." Hua Yun also agreed with his guess. She might not have believed it before, but after learning that her brother had obtained the system, there would be nothing impossible in the world.
This weird cat is like a huge mystery covering Hua Yueling, but currently he can't solve the mystery.
One week later, the mission has not been completed, and even Hua Yingxue's exchanges are rare, almost none.
I don't know what happened to her, no matter what Hua Yueling called her, she didn't respond.
"Did she fall asleep again? She shouldn't lack energy?" Various conjectures surfaced in his mind, but in the end they were all left behind, his energy was completely occupied by the task.
Something happened during Huayueling's leave of absence. The monitor in their class came to visit him on behalf of the whole class.
The squad leader came alone. To be honest, after opening the door, seeing the squad leader standing at the door, Hua Yueling's surprise was all on her face. He did not expect that someone in his class would come to visit him, and that person would be the monitor.
He is unfamiliar with the monitor, let alone friends. Usually, apart from receiving homework or having a teacher ask the monitor to call himself, the two of them can't speak at all. Although he is a classmate, he is as strange as a passerby.
"Squad leader?" Doubts were not only reflected in his facial expressions, but also in his tone of voice.
Mu Ningshuang stared at his face expressionlessly, until he was embarrassed to show him, she said in a cold tone as usual: "Hua Yueling, the teacher asked me to visit you on behalf of the whole class. Asking for time off, the teacher is worried about your condition. Are you in good health?"
"Good—very good—" Hua Yueling was nervous and inexplicably nervous when talking to Mu Ningshuang. Sister Huayun is also a girl, but he can't face Mu Ningshuang as calmly as he did when facing her sister. "Thank you, thank you, squad leader, please come in. Please come in."
Mu Ningshuang did not refuse his invitation, and followed him to the living room.
"Squad leader, just find a place to sit. Do you want to drink? Drinks?"
Mu Ningshuang said nothing, just nodded. She is not a language-loving character. In Hua Yueling's impression, even with her friends at school, she rarely speaks. She doesn't seem to have any very good friends in the class, but Hua Yueling remembers meeting her a few times and having a good conversation with her senior sister Lu Yuetong.
He opened the refrigerator and took out two unopened small bottles of Sprite. He even unscrewed the bottle caps for Mu Ningshuang before handing them over.
"Yes, monitor."
Still having no words, Mu Ningshuang put the bottle on the table after taking the Sprite, did not drink, but looked at him.
"Uh--"
Looking at Mu Ningshuang, they did not speak, and the atmosphere was rather embarrassing. Hua Yueling wanted to enliven the atmosphere, but could not speak.
"The monitor is so beautiful."
"Close range" commented on Mu Ningshuang's face, he couldn't help sighing.
"Squad leader, have a drink."
His gaze moved aimlessly in the room, his brain turned at the fastest speed, he racked his brains to dig out topics that could be talked, but his mind was completely blank, and he was worried about making the atmosphere more rigid when he said anything.
