"Chu Fang, a friend gave me two concert tickets. He Yi doesn't have time, so it's a waste. Do you want to come along?"

"Cough cough cough... ...Come with me to the concert, this is work."

"Hehe... Let's go to a concert, I'm going to 'pick you up'."

“... ..."

Night, the starry sky is dotted with stars.

Zhong Tingyue walked down the street, talking to herself, her expression changing and her voice shifting, as she practiced the 'man-picking techniques' that her childhood friend Yang Meina had taught her.

Under the moonlight, a hint of struggle, awkwardness, and embarrassment appeared on her face, which was as delicate as jade: "Ugh, so annoying, why is it so hard to pursue a boy?"

At dinner tonight, Yang Meina taught her many tips and experiences on how to pursue men. It sounds easy, but it's actually quite difficult to do.

Especially for a bright and intelligent girl like Zhong Tingyue, it's practically impossible for her to actively pursue a boy.

She pulled out a concert ticket from her pocket and said in a helpless tone, "What am I going to do?"

In the past, it was always other boys who took the initiative to pursue her, and she thought that pursuing someone was a very simple thing. But when it came to her, she suddenly found that just taking the first step was extremely difficult.

Difficult, difficult, difficult!

When she arrived at her doorstep, Zhong Tingyue tilted her head to look at door number 2003. The door was tightly closed. After looking for half a minute, she finally sighed, gave up the idea of ​​knocking, and opened her own door.

He Yi was scrolling through short videos, laughing non-stop, and asked without looking up, "Why are you home so early today?"

“I had dinner with Yang Meina, but she was busy with work, so we parted ways early,” Zhong Tingyue replied while taking off her shoes.

He Yi nodded: "I think you should really listen to Yang Meina's advice and become a female anchor. It has low barriers to entry, low costs, quick money, and high returns."

At this point, He Yi shifted her gaze to Zhong Tingyue, looking her up and down, and made a clicking sound: "Yueyue, with your looks, figure, temperament, and knowledge, wouldn't you be able to directly compete with those female anchors who are adored by countless big shots, and wouldn't money just fall into your lap like it's falling from the sky?"

He Yi had no doubt about her best friend's success after becoming a news anchor.

Her appearance alone surpasses 99% of girls. She has a straight nose, beautiful lips, and a chin that resembles a beautiful painting. Moreover, her appearance is completely natural, without a trace of 'technology or ruthless work'.

Zhong Tingyue is not the thin type; she is neither fat nor thin, with a beautiful waistline, long and straight legs, and graceful curves and smooth lines.

More importantly, she possesses a temperament unlike that of ordinary people: generous and confident, elegant and noble, firm and honest, like a young lady born into a wealthy family.

Add to that a degree from a top-tier university (985 Project), and her extensive knowledge and talent—how many guys would be attracted to her in a live-streaming room?

"No." Zhong Tingyue walked around the room.

“Live streaming is no better than your regular job.” He Yi rolled her eyes. “You work like a dog, toiling away, and you only make 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month. You have to cover expenses and save money. When will you ever be able to buy a house in Shanghai?”

She patted her best friend on the shoulder and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Since Zhong Tingyue returned home, she has been constantly wandering around the house.

"Where's Lily?" Zhong Tingyue asked.

"It was just in front of me a moment ago." He Yi realized that their tabby cat, Lily, was particularly fond of Zhong Tingyue. Usually, Lily would wait at the door when Zhong Tingyue came home, but tonight she wasn't there and had disappeared from sight. "Was it in the bedroom?"

The two then searched the entire house, looking through cabinets, boxes, and even the most secluded nooks and crannies, but they couldn't find Lily the tabby cat.

“The house is only so big, where can it hide?” He Yi scratched her head.

"Could he have run out the door?" Zhong Tingyue asked.

She immediately ran outside.

Lily, the tabby cat, is Zhong Tingyue's adopted pet. She has accompanied her through many lonely moments, and she has long regarded Lily as her family.

Click!

I had just stepped out when, by sheer coincidence, the door to the room next door opened.

Zhong Tingyue hurriedly asked, "Chu Fang, have you seen a well-behaved and adorable kitten...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Fang said, "A tabby cat, with gray markings, almond-shaped eyes, and eyes that glow green."

“Yes, yes, yes.” Zhong Tingyue nodded.

Chu Fang made way for her gaze to penetrate his room and said, "I think what you're looking for is this kitten."

A small tabby cat was seen crouching in the room. As the door opened, Zhong Tingyue's figure was seen. The tabby cat, Lily, rushed over at lightning speed, jumped into Zhong Tingyue's arms with a soft meow.

"Lily, where did you go? I was so worried about you." Zhong Tingyue stroked Lily's head and asked.

Watching the heartwarming scene, Chu Fang twitched his lips and grinned, "Don't worry about it, worry about me instead, I'm about to die."

Zhong Tingyue and He Yi stared at Chu Fang in bewilderment, while the latter calmly opened his palm, revealing several visible scratches with blood seeping out.

As he showed off his injuries, he tilted his head and looked at Zhong Tingyue: "This is the 'well-behaved' and 'cute' kitten you described? There's something wrong with your description."

"Meow~~~" Lily, the tabby cat, lay in my arms, her eyes clear as water, meowing softly, looking very gentle.

Chu Fang's mouth showed obvious signs of twitching.

He was playing a game when suddenly a tabby cat jumped into his room through the window. Chu Fang was stunned for a moment, and Lily was also stunned for a moment. Then her little brain turned around and looked around the room.

Perhaps sensing that the surroundings were unfamiliar, Lily suddenly panicked and ran around the room, looking left and right.

Chu Fang knew that the tabby cat should be a pet of a resident in the community, so he found a cage, intending to catch the tabby cat and hand it over to the security office.

But as soon as he made a move, the tabby cat's fur stood on end, it became wild and scratched him, drawing blood from his palm.

"Meow~~~" After recounting what had happened, the tabby cat Lily meowed softly again, her eyes looking tenderly at Zhong Tingyue.

Zhong Tingyue met those gentle eyes, raised her hand, and smacked Lily's little head hard, saying as she did so, "How many times have I told you not to bite people? Don't you understand human language?"

At this moment, Zhong Tingyue felt a mix of fear, worry, and anxiety.

It's a cat, so why can it understand human speech...? Chu Fang smiled helplessly: "Alright, alright, stop hitting it. Your cat has been vaccinated, right?"

"Hmm." This time, Zhong Tingyue didn't indulge Lily anymore. She genuinely felt the pain, and Lily jumped out of her arms and into He Yi's, letting out a soft hiss as if apologizing to Zhong Tingyue. But she didn't have time to pay attention to the kitten, and said with a worried expression:

"Even though you've been vaccinated, you should still go to the hospital for a checkup, just in case. I'll go with you."

Chu Fang nodded in agreement.
