After a long silence in the room, Nanzhi heard Shen Xingmian speak:
"Yes, so don't be too nice to me, it's not worth it."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the bedroom door slammed shut with a "bang".
Nan Zhi: "...Damn it!"
Now that she thinks about it, Nan Zhi is filled with anger. She grabbed a cushion and threw it at the door, yelling, "You bastard, Shen Xingmian, if I ever go back, I'll beat you to death!"
The more Nanzhi thought about it, the more she couldn't suppress her anger. That wretched Shen Xingmian!
After calming down, Nanzhi felt that she had been too hasty. She and Shen Xingmian had only been together for almost a month, and it seemed a bit early to say whether she liked him or not.
But then she thought about it and couldn't help it. The man who had been so good to her was now ignoring her so brazenly.
Shen Xingmian, who had just left, frowned, his eyes filled with sadness. He glanced at the door to Nan Zhi's bedroom and slapped himself.
He gritted his teeth and whispered, "You bastard."
How could he say such hurtful things? He wanted to say no, that he didn't mind her disability. If it were really Mu Xiyue, she would probably be really saddened after hearing Shen Xingmian's words.
But Nanzhi is different. She has only been disabled for two months. Besides, her actual age is what it is. At most, she will be angry for a short while.
Shen Xingmian thought Nan Zhi would definitely throw a tantrum at him the next day, but to his surprise, she didn't. Instead, she said calmly:
"You can go do your own thing after school today, I won't stop you."
Nanzhi didn't mention a word about the argument yesterday afternoon.
Shen Xingmian has always been strong-willed. If he stays in the Mu family and eats and drinks at someone else's house, he will definitely feel uncomfortable. He was originally a favored son of heaven. Nan Zhi thought about it all night and decided to let him have his way. She couldn't keep him by her side just because she wanted to pursue him.
Shen Xingmian was surprised for a moment, and then paused when he looked at Nan Zhi sitting in the wheelchair.
Nan Zhi said, "Come on, push me to the classroom."
Shen Xingmian then lifted her foot and continued walking towards the classroom.
Good morning, Xiyue.
As soon as Nan Zhi sat down, Wu Ke, who was in front of her, turned around and greeted her.
"morning."
"I discovered something really interesting when I got home yesterday."
"What interesting thing happened? Tell me about it too."
Wu Ke was talking enthusiastically with Nan Zhi when Qin Yi, who had just taken his seat, overheard them. He stood behind Nan Zhi, looking on with curiosity.
Wu Ke: "......."
Nanzhi: "..."
Seeing that Qin Yi wasn't embarrassed at all, Wu Ke began to tell the funny story that happened to her yesterday, "When I got home yesterday, I found that my cat had given birth to five kittens."
Nanzhi's eyes lit up. "Really? Isn't it super cute?"
Wu Ke didn't expect Nan Zhi's reaction to be so strong. "She wasn't pretty when she was first born, but my Da Mi is super beautiful. I have photos."
As she spoke, she took out her phone, found a picture of the cat, and showed it to Nanzhi.
The photo shows a pure white cat with bright, dark eyes like grapes; it's incredibly cute.
Nanzhi fell in love with it the moment she saw its fur and its round, bright eyes.
"So cute."
Nan Zhi's affection was genuine; the light in her eyes couldn't lie. Wu Ke thought for a moment, "If you like it, I'll give you one when the kitten is a little older."
"Really?" Nan Zhi's eyes lit up with excitement. She looked at Wu Ke as if she were looking at a piece of meat, and even reached out to grab Wu Ke's hand.
Wu Ke: "..." This sudden intimacy left her a little bewildered.
She nodded. "My mom was planning to give one away anyway, but I'll ask you for one."
Wu Ke felt that Nan Zhi was acting strangely. From yesterday to today, Nan Zhi had only shown her a distant, classmate-like relationship. But today, because of a cat, she suddenly became close to her.
"Can I have one too?"
Qin smiled and looked at Wu Ke, "I can pay for it."
Wu Ke: "......."
She had planned to give Nanzhi away for free, but after Qin Yi said that, how could she possibly charge her?
"If you really care about it, I can give it to you for free."
After Qin Yi's reminder, Nan Zhi also realized that her behavior just now seemed a bit inappropriate. She let go of Wu Ke's hand embarrassedly, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now. What is the market price of the cat? I'll buy it from you."
Wu Ke waved her hand, "You two, say goodbye. At worst, you can treat me to a meal later. There's no need to spend money. I was going to give it away anyway."
"That's fine too, I'll treat you to dinner." After thinking for a while, Nan Zhi felt that since Wu Ke had already said so, even if she offered it to her, the other party might not accept it.
"Then I'll treat you to dinner too," Qin Yi interjected, showing no sign of awkwardness. Nan Zhi thought to herself, "This guy is really good at making friends."
Wu Ke glanced at Qin Yi and nodded, "Okay, I'll bring the kitten out and give it to you two when it's a bit bigger."
The three of them seemed to be having a good time. Shen Xingmian was looking at her textbook while listening to the sounds around her. When she saw Nanzhi chatting and laughing with the other two, she felt a tightness in her chest.
But he had no reason to disturb Nanzhi's lively conversation with others.
Then, Qin Yi patted Nan Zhi's shoulder, leaned down, and got closer to her, saying, "Xi Yue, how about we make a date together?"
Nan Zhi: "......Okay."
Qin Yi bent down to be level with Nan Zhi, making his face appear larger than it actually was. Nan Zhi felt a little uncomfortable; although Qin Yi was handsome, he wasn't Shen Xingmian.
