Chapter 120 My New Desk Mate

In the main room, after the black cat had 'bullied' Jiang Chao once, before he could hit the cat, it took a running start and jumped onto Gu Xun. Its fluffy head rubbed against the boy's chest repeatedly, making purring sounds of enjoyment. Its spoiled behavior earned it a roll of the eyes from Jiang Chao.

"Heh heh, don't think that just because you've grown a layer of fur you can be shameless, you brat, just you wait."

The wicked cat, leaning comfortably against its muscular chest, glanced sideways at the boy's right leg with a sarcastic expression.

As Gu Xun bent down to pet the cat, he caught a glimpse of its anthropomorphic expression and burst into laughter. "Like master, like pet, it's true! Brother Jiang, don't you think Xiao Hei looks a lot like you?"

"Hehe, Yunxia is the real deal, a total drama queen, always acting innocent even when she's doing well!"

The girl, carrying a bowl of braised pork, happened to hear this as she walked to the door. She snorted coldly and said angrily, "You stinky Jiang Chao, you dare to talk bad about me while I was away! Xiao Hei, help me beat him up!"

Upon hearing its master's command, the little black dog didn't move its head, but quickly swayed its lower body from side to side. With a whoosh, it rushed forward, used its hind legs to propel itself up, threw a few punches, and then strolled to the girl's legs, putting on a cute and charming show.

"Jiang Chao, how does it feel to be disliked by cats and dogs?"

I remember when Er Mao first arrived at the Jiang family, he was terrified of Jiang Chao all day long. Whenever he saw him, he would run away frantically and hide under the bed, refusing to come out no matter what.

Now that they know the enemy won't actually attack, they've become bolder, especially Xiao Hei, who often sees them as prey and launches sneak attacks.

"Yunxia, ​​control your cat!"

"It doesn't show its claws, its paws are soft and fluffy, they don't have any killing power when it hits someone!"

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if Xiao Hei did the same thing outside? Would people tolerate its behavior? A scolding would be the least of it; if they picked up a weapon, would it even survive?"

Although Xiao Hei only misbehaves against one person in the Jiang family, the scenario the boy described could not be ruled out. Yun Xia bent down, picked up the black cat, grabbed its triangular ears, and started nagging.

"Little Black, a cat that beats people isn't a good cat. There are lots of bad people outside who bully..."

The black cat listened to the long-winded speech, its tail wagging wildly, clearly very impatient. Seeing this, Jiang Chao simply snatched it away, grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, and started scratching its belly.

At first, Xiao Hei resisted fiercely, kicking its limbs wildly. Later, seeing that it couldn't beat them, it looked at the boy and girl with a pitiful expression. Finally, it shamelessly started to act cute and charming towards its 'enemy'.

"Heh heh, you're quite sensible, but bad guys won't let you off the hook just because you're cute!"

After bullying it until it behaved, he tossed it onto the side of the bed, closed the wooden door, turned to look at the table, and said quietly, "Yunxia, ​​is there only one dish?"

"Oh dear, poor little black dog," I thought with pity, glancing at the wooden door. "Wait here, I'll go get it right away."

After dinner, they chatted for a while before Gu Xun got up to say goodbye. Jiang Chao opened the door to the side bedroom and found Xiao Hei lying on his pillow, fast asleep, while Xiao Bai was... licking its fur.

"It's just a cat, but it lives like a king."

Approaching, a prank ensued. Gently pinching the cat's tongue, the little white cat tilted its head, staring intently at the person, wanting to know who was always disturbing its sleep.

With a whoosh, it strikes with its claws!

The cat that scratches never makes a fuss. The boy lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the red claw mark on his wrist, and poked the guilty-looking Little White. "Hehe, no wonder you're sisters!"

After saying that, he turned around to find the medicated ointment and skillfully applied it to his wrist.

On September 1st, the first day of school, Yunxia stared wide-eyed as she scanned the lists on the wall one by one. After finally finding her own, she hurried to her assigned classroom.

The corridor was packed with students. After the homeroom teacher came over, he called out the names one by one and let them choose their seats according to their ranking in the college entrance examination.

Yunxia, ​​as usual, chose a seat in the third row from the middle. After all the students came in, she found that the seat to her right had not been chosen yet.

The homeroom teacher had obviously noticed it too, and coughed lightly, saying, "Oh, there's a transfer student who's still going through the formalities. He'll come back this afternoon. Come on, pass the books around from the front row. The person with the empty seat, please have your deskmate help you get it."

At noon, Yunxia, ​​who was taking a nap at the table after eating dumplings, heard the sound of a chair being pulled beside her. She vaguely guessed that her transfer classmate had come to sit down, but didn't think much of it. She mumbled a few words and turned her head to continue sleeping.

Ring ring! Ring ring!

The preparatory bell rang, the girl got up, rubbed her eyes, did some eye exercises, and then opened her eyes.

Wow, where did this cream cake come from? And it's covered with a layer of strawberry bits.

"You're awake. Do you like the gift I gave you?"

A clear and pleasant voice rang out beside her. Yun Xia turned her head sharply and was met with a handsome face with a warm smile. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she said, "Li Chen, you're the new transfer student?"

"Yes, I didn't tell you beforehand because I wanted to surprise you. What a coincidence, we're deskmates! I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from now on."

After a month of recuperation, his complexion improved significantly, but he was still far from being a normal person.

"Don't worry, leave all the heavy work in the group projects to me. If you have any questions about your studies, feel free to ask me in your spare time."

The boy smiled faintly, his slender, fair hand pushing the cake box. "Strawberry flavored, I specially asked the shop assistant to add extra cream!"

The 8-inch cake was exquisite and gorgeous. Putting aside the incident of vomiting from poisoning in the hospital, Yunxia still liked this gift.

Looking around, seeing everyone busy organizing their books, I quickly stuffed the cake into my desk drawer, thinking to myself that it was the first day of school and I couldn't afford any gossip.

"Thanks. The first class is math. Quickly open your textbook and preview it. It would be embarrassing if you couldn't answer a question when the teacher calls on you."

Upon hearing this, Li Chen was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to tease him like that. He smiled helplessly, found his math book, and began to read it carefully.

...

In the afternoon, at 5:40, at Grandma's Dumpling Restaurant.

"Hey, little butterfly, where did this cake come from? It looks so tempting."

Holding her sister's hand tightly, Jiang An spoke first: "Was it given by Brother Chen?"

When did this Brother Chen suddenly appear?

The boy stroked his chin with his fingertips, his thoughtful expression making Yunxia sigh. "Aunt Liu's son invited us to visit the Ziwei Forest. You had to watch the shop that time, so you didn't go. An'an went and met Li Chen."

"What does it mean that he sent you a strawberry cake?"

Judging from the questioning tone, the boy gave him a sharp rap on the head. "He's a transfer student, and he just happens to be in my class. What's wrong with giving him a small gift?"

"Giving away strawberry cream cakes at such a young age, he's definitely not a good person. Little Butterfly, stay away from him from now on!"

Hmm, we're already deskmates, how can we stay away from each other? Should we ask the homeroom teacher to change our seats?

He nodded perfunctorily, then suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something, "Where's Jiang Chao?"

Since entering high school, classrooms have been assigned based on grades, and the two of them have no longer been in the same class. The one who ranked first in the grade naturally entered the advanced class.

"I don't know, he wouldn't let me wait for him at the entrance of the Rocket Class, saying it was... embarrassing, ugh!"

What's so shameful about it? Is it because I'm dressed worse than anyone else? Or because I'm uglier than anyone else? He was very angry about this.
