Waking up one day, Wen Le found himself a miserable "cabbage flower" on a future abandoned planet, tears streaming down his face. He was just a bit of a homebody, did they really have to se...
Chapter 92 Chinese Cabbage?
Wen Le knew exactly what Da Mao was thinking, but he had no intention of exposing him. He was allowed to play during the day, and he still had to go to cram school at night, so he might as well consider it a little benefit for him in advance.
The poor big cat thought he had finally escaped the "tragic" fate of tutoring, but he didn't know that his owner had no intention of letting him go and was planning to let him go back home in the evening to continue his tutoring.
Wen Le's group's first stop was an evening primrose cultivation base. Most tourists came for the evening primrose, eager to see what the legendary magical herb looked like. Wen Le was no exception. Although he had used evening primrose in potions before, that herb had always been processed; he had never seen a fresh herb growing in the soil. This trip was a perfect opportunity to satisfy his curiosity and complete a homework assignment from Teacher Hu.
Visiting the evening primrose plantation is one of the more popular attractions on Planet 7, so if you want to go, you have to make an appointment and queue up to buy tickets in advance. But Wen Le didn't have to worry about any of this; Ma Yang had taken care of everything. All he had to do was take Jin Cancan along for the fun.
Arriving at the evening primrose cultivation base, we were first disinfected as required and then put on special protective clothing for isolation. This was to prevent visitors wearing perfume from entering and causing air pollution. Evening primrose is a very delicate herb, and even the air quality in the cultivation room has strict requirements. The smell of perfume from visitors could cause the leaves to turn yellow.
Because Jin Cancan is in animal form, Wen Le was specifically told to keep an eye on him and not allow the pet to cause damage in the planting room. If he stepped on the evening primrose, he would not only have to pay compensation but would also be kicked out.
Wen Le repeatedly promised that he would never let Big Cat cause any trouble, and at the end he pinched Big Cat's ears: "Did you hear me? Don't wander around when you go in. If you get kicked out, I won't bring you out to play next time."
Jin Cancan shook her ears, snorted, and gave Wen Le a look of disgust, meaning, do you need me to tell you?
It's not like he doesn't understand what people say.
Someone nearby praised: "You have a well-raised tiger. It also understands human nature and is very spiritual."
Those who praise others are doing so sincerely. After all, although this mutant tiger is a little fat, it is well-maintained, has strong limbs and is so smart that anyone who sees it will like it.
But Wen Le felt a little embarrassed by the praise. If a certain big cat could even transform into a human and couldn't understand human language, wouldn't it be stupid? And he didn't want this kind of praise at all. Instead of raising a good tiger to become the king of the jungle, he raised a fat man. The thought made him feel upset.
Jin Cancan felt good about himself. When he saw someone praising him, he raised his chin proudly, his pair of fluffy round ears fluttering, and he stared at Wen Le with his round eyes and tilted his head, trying to act cute towards him maliciously.
Wen Le's mouth twitched, and he turned his face away. The tourist who had praised Jin Cancan's cat, however, had his eyes sparkled. If it weren't for the wrong occasion and Wen Le's presence, he'd probably have petted the cat. And it was only because the cat was so well-cared for that he didn't rudely ask to adopt it. After all, a pet that can be kept by its owner all the time is bound to be very popular with its owner.
As a pet lover, he doesn't want to take away other people's pets.
…
When Wen Le and Jin Cancan entered the planting room, they saw a field of cabbages growing beautifully and swaying in the wind.
They were both stunned for a moment. Wasn't this supposed to be an evening primrose plantation? Why were there only cabbages?
Evening primrose is a beautiful plant, so what does Chinese cabbage even mean? These two things are completely unrelated, right?
Jin Cancan raised her paw to tug at Wen Le's trouser leg and asked him with her mind, "Didn't we agree to see the evening primrose? Did we go to the wrong place?" Wasn't this supposed to be an herb garden? How did it suddenly become a vegetable greenhouse? The difference was too great.
Not only Jin Cancan was dumbfounded, but Wen Le was also dumbfounded. He kicked Da Miao with his toes: "You ask me, who should I ask?" If you don't know, do you think I know?
As he said that, he kicked Jin Cancan again and said to him with his mind: "Don't say anything, let's see how others react first." They couldn't appear too old-fashioned. What if the evening primrose grew to look like a cabbage? It would be so embarrassing for them to make such a fuss.
"If you don't know, then you don't know. Why are you kicking me?" Jin Cancan couldn't help but claw back, "Are you addicted to kicking me?"
Wow, he's grown tough now, he even knows how to fight back. Wen Le kicked him again: "I kicked you, so what? You dare to fight back?" He kicked him again. Although he didn't use much force, just playing around, the big cat still felt provoked. He immediately jumped up and pounced on his owner like a hungry tiger, making Wen Le stumble and almost vomit the overnight meal.
Wen Le was thankful that he had been exercising over the past few years, otherwise he would have collapsed under such a huge pile of weight. It was okay for him to fall, but if he had crushed someone else's cabbage, he would have been blacklisted.
Holding Da Miao with great effort, Wen Le reached out and slapped his chubby butt: "What a disgrace! Get down quickly."
The big cat twisted its butt, and hugged its owner's neck with its two front paws, refusing to get down. Wen Le felt that the cat was so heavy that it was about to break his arm.
"Come down quickly, you already weigh over 200 pounds, do you still think you're a 20-pound meow?"
As soon as the weight was mentioned, Jin Cancan immediately got upset, and started yelling at Wen Le with his fur standing on end. You used to call me Sweetie, but now you call me Fatty. You humans are so fickle!
Wen Le held Jin Cancan and shook her vigorously: "Isn't that the truth? Do you still think you weigh only twenty pounds?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" I won't come down. You can come down just like that? How embarrassing would that be? Take back what you just said. We're still good friends, or I'll be mad at you!
Weight and other things are Big Cat's Achilles' heel. He will get angry with anyone who mentions it.
Wen Le was afraid that if he put the big cat down rashly, it would crush the "cabbage" next to it, so he kept holding it like this. But this fat guy refused to get down and even dared to talk back to him.
The tourists nearby were amazed, thinking the fat tiger was quite amusing, even arguing with its owner. Furthermore, Wen Le, a tall, thin young man, was also astonished. He could pick up such a fat tiger without hesitation, showing no hesitation. Clearly, he wasn't as harmless as he appeared.
If Wen Le knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely burst into tears. Did he think all those years of training were for nothing? Even Teacher Hu was not satisfied with this and almost pointed at him and called him a loser.
Wen Le was getting a headache from the noise from Big Cat, so he quickly said, "If you don't come down, you'll have to do an extra test paper when you get home tonight."
He found that it was no use just punishing the big cat by making him eat vegetarian food. He could always find a way to get meat for himself. It would be better to let him write one more test paper so that he could do more questions to familiarize himself with the question types.
When Jin Cancan heard that she had to write another test paper when she got home, her eyes suddenly widened. Without Wen Le saying anything, she jumped to the ground and tried to stay away from her owner as far as possible, pretending that nothing had happened.
