Chapter 196
The afternoon classes were still just as dull, especially for someone like him who understood everything as soon as it was explained.
For those students who were struggling and couldn’t understand at all, there wasn’t much to be bored about.
For those who needed to listen attentively to understand and wanted to get good grades and make progress, a class could actually be quite fulfilling.
And then there were those like Ji Yun and Bai Xiaoxiao, who genuinely loved studying.
Unconsciously, the last class of the day ended, and the class monitors began assigning homework as usual.
Xu Lin glanced at the blackboard and noticed that it was his and Li Bin’s turn to clean the classroom today.
“Xu Lin, you sweep the floor, and I’ll mop?”
“Sure.”
“Xu Lin, I’ll wait for you at the bike shed?” Ji Yun glanced at Xu Lin and grabbed his backpack, intending to take it down for him.
“Go wait for me at the pet hospital across the street with Senior Sister Bai; her dog is at the pet shop there.”
“Okay.” Ji Yun nodded, instantly more energetic at the mention of the pet shop and the dog.
I want to pet it!
Her parents never allowed her to have a pet at home, even though she really wanted a little companion. Unfortunately, both her mom and dad were strongly opposed.
But why was it taken to the pet hospital? Was it sick? She wondered as she quickly left the classroom.
“Girls really do love small animals, huh?”
“Isn’t that normal? Cute little animals, who doesn’t like them?”
Li Bin said, thinking of his own fierce and greedy big black dog. Unless it’s not cute at all!
Then, Xu Lin started putting the chairs on the desks and began sweeping the floor while Li Bin took the mop outside to rinse it.
After sweeping two rows, he heard the familiar sound of high heels. Xu Lin tilted his head and saw that it was indeed Teacher Su’s long legs in black stockings.
“Nice.”
“What?”
“Legs.”
“Behave well today, and you can look all you want in the future.”
“Teacher Su, there’s a camera here, don’t say such things.”
Xu Lin laughed out loud. After him making a move on Bai Xiaoxiao, it seemed Teacher Su was now making advances towards him?
“The cameras in the classroom only record video.”
“Then please don’t touch me.”
“Who cares, just hurry up. My parents are waiting for you to come over for dinner.”
“But I need to finish here first, and then I have to go to the pet shop across the street. I found a stray cat and took it there for cleaning and a check-up.”
“A cat?”
“Yes, a little orange cat.”
“Then I’ll go check it out!”
Wow, Xu Lin sure has an eye for pretty girls!
Why does he have such good luck with them? When will my spring come?
“I’ll take it home then. Not sure if Old Xu and Ms. Li will allow it. By the way, how much is it?”
“The checkup and cleaning are 800, the vaccine is 700, and 350 for supplements and half a month’s cat food.”
“I’ll give you a detailed bill later.”
“Alright.” Xu Lin took out his card, but the receptionist waved her hand.
“You topped up Ms. Jiang’s account earlier today, right? You used her money. She didn’t set a password or permissions.”
“She keeps some money in there to help those stray little lives.”
“The animals she rescues are kept here. When someone buys them, the money goes back into that account to help other strays that come here.”
“So, please don’t pay again. Accept her kindness.”
The receptionist’s words made everyone present feel Ms. Jiang’s sincere kindness.
Not the kind of fake people who pretend to adopt but actually sell animals. She might be someone who genuinely protects stray animals.
Her high moral standards continuously roll on, ensuring that stray little lives can have warm homes.
A few minutes later, Bai Xiaoxiao carried a dog carrier, and Xu Lin carried a cat carrier as they walked out.
“Didn’t expect to get a cat while on the way to class.”
“This must be fate.”
“By the way, you haven’t named it yet, right?” Zhuo Yan asked, reminding everyone that the kitten still didn’t have a name. They had been calling it “little orange cat.”
“How about Xiao Ju (Little Orange)?”
“Since it’s fate, call it Xiao Yuan (Little Fate)?”
“Yuzu works too.”
“Let’s let its owner name it.”
As everyone chimed in, Ji Yun looked at Xu Lin. Xu Lin scratched his head. He was terrible at naming.
But looking at its orange fur, he thought of his favorite tangerines. But there must be many orange cats named Tangerine or Citrus...
“Let’s call her Chenpi (Dried Tangerine Peel)!”
“Huh? What kind of name is that?”
“Chenpi is tangerine peel, and it’s quite mischievous. I think it fits! Little one, what do you think?”
Xu Lin lifted the carrier and looked at the kitten. Its clear eyes gazed back at him. As if understanding him, it nodded.
“Meow~”
“Alright, from now on, you’ll be called Chenpi.”
