Chapter 159 You'd better bring two so they can fight each other...
This summer camp is scheduled for one day.
The original plan was to pick vegetables in the morning, and have two volunteer teachers lead everyone in games and learning in the afternoon, while waiting for the parents to pick them up. However, Ji Fengnian suddenly asked everyone if they wanted to eat roasted corn, and vividly described how delicious the charcoal-roasted tender corn was. As a result, the children didn't want to study anymore and all ran to roast corn with Ji Fengnian.
The corn in the vegetable garden was still very tender. Ji Fengnian picked a dozen or so of the larger ones and brought them back. He gently pinched the kernels inside the leaves, and the juice spurted out far away.
"You really aren't afraid of the heat!" Wen Yue started sweating after filming for a while.
Ji Fengnian fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan: "It's alright, it's not very hot."
Yeah, right.
Ji Fengnian's scalp was soaked with sweat, and his hair was glistening with sweat. The children were chased away and formed a large circle, their necks stretched out as far as they could.
"Brother, is it not ripe yet?"
"not yet."
"Brother, how long will it take to ripen?"
"soon."
"Brother, I smell something delicious."
"Me too."
"Wow, it smells so good!"
...
The adults were also in the open space, chatting casually.
The children all ran off to watch the roasted corn, leaving the two teachers with some free time.
Shen Xinan moved a stool over to Shen Yuqiu's side and asked, "Brother, who are you looking at?"
Shen Xinan looked in the direction of Shen Yuqiu's gaze and saw Wen Xingrui holding a small erasable board, lying on An Fusheng's lap writing. An Fusheng looked at him and suddenly laughed. Wen Min curiously leaned over to look and also laughed, "Aren't you too sleepy? You're lying down, sprawled out like a sprawl."
Shen Xinan looked at her brother again and found that he had actually smiled as well.
Something's not right!
"You're not looking at Dean Wen, are you?" Shen Xinan asked quietly.
Shen Yuqiu's smile faded. "Why are you here instead of taking care of the child?"
Shen Xinan wouldn't let him distract her. "You're just looking at Dean Wen. Humph, you didn't want him when I introduced him to you before, but why are you staring at him like a pervert now?"
"When did you introduce her to me? Are you very familiar with her?"
"Back before the New Year, I was about to introduce you to a student's parents, but you hung up on me before I could finish my sentence," Shen Xinan snorted. "If that blind date hadn't been so unbearable, I wouldn't have thought of you."
Shen Yuqiu suddenly asked urgently, "A blind date?"
Shen Xinan: "Yes."
Why would she go on a blind date?
Shen Xinan glanced at Shen Yuqiu with disdain, "What do you think blind dates are for? Do you think everyone is as determined as you to be single forever?"
Shen Yuqiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, followed by a pang of sadness. Wen Min would rather go on a blind date than give him a chance. Shen Yuqiu quickly recalled that Wen Min had been alone the last few times she had seen her, and only a few children had come to visit her when she was sick last time. So, she must have failed her blind date. Shen Yuqiu calmed her sudden panic, but her heart was still heavy with sadness.
"You really like Dean Wen?" Shen Xinan gossiped. "Are you about to have a one-year-old tree bloom?"
Shen Yuqiu looked at Wen Min and said in a heavy tone, "I can't open it. She doesn't like me."
So you're admitting it?
Shen Xinan's eyes widened in surprise. "You asked them?"
So fast?
Shen Yuqiu: "Mm."
Shen Yuqiu was good at studying and good-looking from childhood to university. He was sensible and independent, the quintessential "other people's child". In Shen Xinan's memory, there was nothing he wanted but could not get. He never expected that he would be rejected one day.
"Really?" Shen Xinan asked in disbelief.
Shen Yuqiu did not answer her, but the answer was clearly yes.
“Dean Wen is very beautiful. There must be many people who are more handsome and outstanding than you pursuing her, so it’s normal that she doesn’t like you. You are already very outstanding. There are always people better than you. Don’t be too sad.” Shen Xinan tried to comfort her brother.
Shen Yuqiu was even more heartbroken when she heard, "There must be many people more handsome and outstanding than you pursuing her." "Is that so?"
Shen Xinan nodded firmly, "Yes."
Shen Yuqiu's eyelashes drooped inch by inch.
Shen Xinan felt heartbroken just watching. Her brother had finally fallen for someone, but the girl didn't reciprocate his feelings. Shen Xinan sighed, wondering if her brother was attracted to Dean Wen at first sight. If so, it would be disastrous. It was rare to see a girl as beautiful as Dean Wen. This had raised the bar too high. Who would even catch his eye in the future?
Wen Min suddenly glanced at Shen Yuqiu, but immediately looked away, and Shen Yuqiu did not notice at all.
...
Afu brought back a bunch of kittens.
Upon seeing Afu, Wen Xingrui immediately threw down his drawing board, sat down on the ground, and crawled over to play with the kitten.
Afu really likes Wen Xingrui now, because Wen Xingrui and the kittens can give it a break while playing together.
Afu carried the kittens one by one to Wen Xingrui, who lay on the ground watching the kittens with a grin.
The kitten has grown a bit and is more energetic now.
Especially Xiao Hei and Xiao Lan, they are so energetic that they fight every day, and no one can stop them.
For example, right now, when Afu puts the two of them in front of Wen Xingrui, they immediately start fighting, kicking each other. It's both funny and childish, making everyone just want to watch the show and not try to stop them.
When Shen Yuqiu heard everyone laughing, he looked up and saw two kittens fighting, with Afu meowing beside them.
Ah Fu?
Shen Yuqiu looked closely and saw that Afu, who was originally covered in fluffy and soft white fur, was now covered in fur... It was still fluffy, but it was very messy, with clumps of fur, lying in all directions. Afu should have half ragdoll blood, so its fur was relatively long and the messiness was particularly noticeable. Afu was lying on the ground, whimpering weakly.
Is Afu really sick?
Shen Yuqiu wasn't a veterinarian and couldn't tell what was wrong with Afu. He asked Shen Xinan, "Did Wen Min tell you what was wrong with Afu?"
After being asked such a strange question, Shen Xinan took a while to realize what was going on. "She didn't say."
Shen Yuqiu picked up Afu and examined it carefully, but couldn't find anything wrong. He then took Afu to ask Zhuang Changfeng, "See if it's sick."
Zhuang Changfeng thought Shen Yuqiu was a bit crazy and rolled his eyes at him, saying, "I'm not a veterinarian."
Shen Yuqiu brought Afu back and asked Wen Min, "What's wrong with Afu? Have you taken him to the vet?"
Before Wen Min could answer, An Fusheng said, "Afu isn't sick."
Shen Yuqiu: "Then why is it so listless?"
An Fusheng understood, "Taking care of children is tiring."
"Taking care of children?" Shen Yuqiu asked, "Why does Afu need to take care of children?"
"It had kittens with Er'er. Er'er was originally a stray cat and preferred freedom, so she didn't really like taking care of the kittens. After the kittens were born, Afu took care of them all by herself. She was so tired from taking care of the kittens every day," Anfusheng said.
Wen Xingmou brought over half a roasted, golden-brown corn. "Yes, Er'er likes Afu, that's why they had so many kittens together. The doctor said that if Afu turned into a colorful kitten, other cats would like him, so we colored Afu. Sure enough, Er'er likes playing with Afu. The doctor is really amazing!"
Shen Yuqiu was struck dumb. It turned out that he was the one who caused Afu to become like this. No wonder Wen Min complained about him!
"How about I take one back and raise it? To lighten Afu's burden a bit?" Shen Yuqiu asked Wen Min pleadingly.
Wen Min glanced at the two kittens fighting fiercely and said, "You'd better bring two of them, so they can fight each other. If you only bring one, it will only be able to fight you."
Shen Yuqiu: "..."
Zhuang Changfeng burst into a loud laugh from behind.
...
Around 4 p.m., parents started arriving one after another to pick up their children.
After all the children left, the doctors and teachers could also go home.
Before leaving, Shen Yuqiu very consciously picked up Xiao Lan and Xiao Hei.
An Fusheng said with some concern, "Maybe we should just forget about it. Will Teacher Shen keep a cat?"
Shen Yuqiu: "Don't worry, I've raised them before."
Ten years ago, Shen Yuqiu raised Wen Min's best friend's cat for a few days. Although she only raised it for a few days, she learned a lot about raising cats in order to please Wen Min. That knowledge is still in her mind and is very clear.
Shen Xinan was surprised to discover that her brother was actually a comedian. To save face for him, she tried her best to hold back her laughter until she reached the door before bursting into laughter. "Brother, how do you manage to be so serious and funny?"
Shen Yuqiu said coldly, "What's so funny about that?"
"Are you that afraid of Dean Wen? Hahahaha!"
"Shut up!"
Zhuang Changfeng glanced at Shen Yuqiu with an ambiguous expression, then turned back to Wen Min and said, "Dean Wen, please forgive my intrusion, but there is something I would like to tell you."
Wen Min: "What is it?"
“I don’t know how you and Lao Shen broke up back then, but he was really heartbroken when you broke up with him. After returning from France, he stood in the rain by the Thames all night and even developed a high fever. He only found out when his phone was stolen and he asked me for help. Otherwise, he probably would have died from the fever.”
As Zhuang Chang recounted the story, he couldn't help but laugh, recalling some funny incidents. "I told him I'd take him to the hospital, but he absolutely refused. He insisted on finding the people who stole his phone to get it back, saying it had your photos on it. We ended up spending a lot of money to finally contact the people who stole it. They told us to wait, but Lao Shen insisted on waiting. Then, when they arrived, they stole my phone again. Luckily, I had some money hidden away, enough to buy him fever reducers. But we ran out of money on the medicine, so we ended up walking all the way back to Oxford from London."
Wen Min couldn't help but smile.
"What I want to say is, if he hasn't done anything seriously wrong, could you forgive him just this once? He was my classmate, and we went to England together. I know what kind of person he used to be, someone who was completely focused on his studies. But after he got together with you, he completely changed. He would nag me about you every day. After you broke up, he was so depressed that he didn't even finish his thesis and had to postpone his graduation by a year. He's been single all these years. Many people have pursued him, but he's never paid any attention to them. To avoid trouble, he doesn't even want to take female students with him. He can't let go of you."
Wen Min remained silent.
"Of course, I say this because I'm speaking from his perspective. I don't know what you've been through. If you have reasons why you can't forgive him, then please forgive my intrusion."
Wen Min slowly said, "There were indeed some misunderstandings back then, but no one really did anything wrong. It's not a matter of forgiveness or not. Perhaps the fate between people is predetermined. If you don't seize the opportunity when it comes, it's futile to try to hold on when it's gone. Let's just let nature take its course."
Zhuang Changfeng nodded. "I'm sorry, I talked too much. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Goodbye, Dean Wen."
“I understand your concern for your friend, there’s no need to apologize,” Wen Min said. “Thank you for coming to help today, goodbye Dr. Zhuang.”
