Chapter 71 Miscellaneous

Wen Le celebrated Chinese New Year in the safe zone. Although it was a future interstellar world, the festive atmosphere was even stronger than on Earth. Not only were there all sorts of delicious foods, but Ovi had even booked a lion dance troupe online for a lively day of performances on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Wen Le, a country bumpkin, had never seen a lion dance in his life. He was so amazed that he threw aside his so-called adult reserve and ran after the lion dance troupe with the other children.

Even Wen Le himself didn't realize that he was becoming more and more like a real child. He specially recorded a video and sent it to his friends.

Xu Dongdong and the others looked at Wen Le's smiling face and said privately that Wen Le's current state made them feel really relieved. He used to be worried about something and couldn't let it go, but now he is doing very well.

I have to say the friends were very observant. Nian Wenle had indeed figured out some things, both about his parents and about his future. Life wasn't always easy, and he couldn't always have it go his way. All he could do now was live well, to make this life worthwhile.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, winter vacation was almost over. Wen Le and his friends had to leave a week early, otherwise they would miss the start of school. Fortunately, there was a direct ship from Shui Jupiter to the Pentagram, so there was no need to transfer ships or stop along the way, which greatly shortened the journey and they could reach their destination in just a week.

Wen Le had been eating non-stop since the Lunar New Year, and he'd gained several pounds, his face a bit rounder. Not only that, but when he left, Ovi had packed him a whole box of processed sand rabbit meat, saying it would save him having to ship it to school separately.

Wen Le didn't say anything about this, but Jin Cancan howled at Ao Wei twice, her voice becoming shamefully sweeter. She even used her large paws to pull the box toward her, as if protecting her food, fearing Wen Le wouldn't agree.

Wen Le was speechless, feeling that he was about to lose all his face because of this guy. He usually gave it enough food and water, so why couldn't he move his legs when he saw food?

Ovi patted Jin Cancan's big head in amusement and said, "Cancan is really knowledgeable and knows that sand rabbit meat is delicious."

Wen Le had no choice but to let it go.

When they arrived at the dock, Xu Dongdong and the others saw Wen Le waiting there with bags and bags. They couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wen Le, are you moving? Why are you carrying so many gifts?"

Wen Le helplessly pointed at Jin Cancan who was still lying on the box next to him and said, "Go ask it."

It's also tiring to meet a persistent foodie.

Xu Dongdong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What delicious food did you bring? Let me see."

As expected, the world of foodies is universal. This needs no explanation, a fat guy has already guessed the truth.

Xu Dongdong looked around but couldn't find any food, so his eyes naturally fell on Jin Cancan, who was trying to hide. He walked over and circled around it, then suddenly turned into Sherlock Holmes Xu, pointing at the big box where Jin Cancan was lying and said, "Here is the food!

Right? If I’m not mistaken, it must be sand rabbit meat!”

The sand rabbits raised in Aowei's safe zone had become famous on Abandoned Star. During Chinese New Year, the sand rabbit meat Aowei gave them was praised by the entire family. Xu Dongdong's family was so large that even a small portion was gone. He only got to taste a few pieces, and then he was gone. Seeing this huge box, his mouth watered with greed. If he hadn't been mindful of his public appearance, he would have fought with Jin Cancan for the food.

Jin Cancan felt the little fat man's gaze, turned his head and glanced at him, mentally assessing their fighting strength, then yawned and lay back leisurely. Obviously, he didn't take the little fat man seriously.

But who is Xu Dongdong? He's known for being thicker than a city wall. He wouldn't be discouraged by this little bit of contempt. Instead, he hit back at Jin Cancan, "Cancan, your brother has grown a lot of weight after this year, why haven't you grown any taller?"

What happened to the promise of becoming an adult in six months? What happened to the promise of being able to transform into a human?

It's been almost a year, and there seems to be no movement at all?

Xu Dongdong's words hit Jin Cancan's sore spot. Size is its Achilles' heel. It now knows that it will transform into a human in the future. Although so much time has passed and it has not been able to successfully transform into a human, and has not even reached the threshold of adulthood, it does not mean that it does not care about this matter.

Now that Xu Dongdong said it to his face, he was immediately annoyed.

It suddenly stood up on the box, howling and rushing over to fight Xu Dongdong. Wen Le saw this and quickly said, "Be careful, they might steal your things."

Xu Dongdong was desperately trying to provoke Jin Cancan, and he must have some bad intentions. Who knows if Jin Cancan jumps off the box and Lily comes over to take it over? He knows his friends too well; they're capable of such a thing. If something gets stolen, Jin Cancan will make a scene again. To avoid being annoyed later, he had to warn her.

Upon hearing this, Jin Cancan tilted her head and let out a howl. She looked at Xu Dongdong, then at Lily and the others with her round eyes. After thinking about what her owner said, she lay down again, which made Xu Dongdong and Lily, who had originally planned to grab the box, extremely disappointed.

Xu Dongdong walked over to Wen Le, hooked his neck and said, "Why are your elbows bent outward? You are even reminding it." Otherwise, he and Lily would have succeeded just now.

Aowei and his friends packed not only raw rabbit meat for Wen Le, but also cooked, cold rabbit for Wen Le and his friends to eat on the spaceship. Xu Dongdong and Lili both loved to chew on rabbit heads, especially the spicy ones, and they always fought over them, but Xu Dongdong always lost. Over time, he'd become particularly obsessed with rabbit heads, and this time, Aowei packed such a large box of rabbit meat for Wen Le, so he knew there would be some rabbit heads, so he wanted to get them first.

As for Jin Cancan, who can eat anything, she said that rabbit heads are just the right thing to use to grind teeth, and it's also nice to change the taste occasionally.

So when it comes to food, the three of them are in competition.

Wen Le pried open Xu Dongdong's arms and said, "If it gets mad, will you help me calm it down?"

Xu Dongdong glanced at a certain big cat and shut up awkwardly. It would be more satisfying to kill him directly than to let him coax him.

Lily clicked her tongue and said, "What else can you do?" Then she rolled up her sleeves and tried to grab it herself.

Afraid that they would cause a commotion, Li Zhenzhen quickly stepped out to help: "The spaceship is about to arrive. Let's go to the waiting area quickly, otherwise it will be bad if we miss the spaceship."

Lily gave up.

Wen Le turned to Jin Cancan and asked, "Can we put these things away now?"

This guy is so protective of his food that he has to keep it right in front of him, even if it's in his space. Otherwise, he wouldn't be waiting here with so many bags.

"Ouch~" Grandpa Jin said that the other party could put it on.

Wen Le pinched its furry ears and felt helpless about this willful guy.

…

Wen Le and his friends returned to school safely. Before they could pack their things, they received a notice for an exam in three days. The school history exam that the dean mentioned before the holiday was not a joke and it would really be held.

As soon as this notice came out, there was a cry of grief in the dormitory area.

Xu Dongdong collapsed on the sofa and couldn't get up, muttering to herself: "It's over, it's over, I haven't read a single word of school history. How can I know how to take the test now? God wants me to die!

Lily pinched her forehead in a nagging headache. She'd been so busy going out with her mom and the others to make a killing this winter break that she'd forgotten all about this. She hadn't even read a single word of the school history. Pursing her lips, Lily looked at Li Zhenzhen and said, "Hey, you haven't read the book either, have you?" She needed an ally. At least if she failed the test in three days, she'd have someone to take the punishment with her.

But Zhen didn't let her have her way. She pursed her lips and showed a shy expression, saying, "I saw it. I even recited it with my dad during the winter vacation."

Lily immediately felt bad. What could be more depressing than having fun during the holidays while her friends were studying? This was really unpleasant. Undeterred, she asked Wen Le again, "What about you?"

Wen Le touched his nose and said, "Well... I looked a little in the room when I came here."

Xu Dongdong was shocked when he heard this: "When did you start reading? Why didn't you remind me to read it with you?" Can we still be friends? She didn't even ask him to join her in reading.

Wen Le rolled his eyes. "Who said you wanted to sleep when I asked you to get up? And now you have the nerve to ask me?"

Xu Dongdong felt guilty for a moment and was speechless.

He remembered that Wen Le had indeed called him a few times on the spaceship, but he was dozing off and didn't get up. At the time, he thought that anyone who read on vacation was a fool, but now he had made a fool of himself.

"There are still three days until the exam, so it's still useful to review the school history now," Li Zhenzhen said. She didn't want her classmates to all come back with nothing. The requirements weren't high, so just passing was enough. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about losing her overall score.

This proposal was unanimously agreed by the friends. Xu Dongdong jumped up from the sofa and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go now!" If we wait until everyone realizes what's going on before going to the library, we won't be able to get a seat.

Seeing that he was very anxious and believed everything he heard, Wen Le couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "Don't you know that the school history can be downloaded for free from the official website of the school?" Why would he go to the library to read such a thing?

"I'll send you a copy."

"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier?" Xu Dongdong said and collapsed on the sofa again.

Wen Le: "...you're so lazy."

This guy is even lazier than him, which is speechless.

But despite what he said, Wen Le still turned on the light brain and sent a copy of the school history to Xu Dongdong.
