Chapter 32
One drawback of taking a nap is that you may not know whether it's morning or evening when you wake up.
Shen Che intended for them to sleep a little longer, but when Ning Wensong opened his eyes and saw only darkness, he was completely bewildered.
"No way, I slept for 20 hours? How come it's already morning?" She blinked in the dark, her voice muffled.
Ning Wensong reached for her phone, but the screen's light dazzled her eyes as soon as she turned it on.
"Don't move, does your eye hurt?" As soon as Chen Che opened the door, he saw her lying on the bed with her eyes covered.
He took the phone away and put it aside, then covered Ning Wensong's eyes with his hands and gently massaged them.
"It's only seven o'clock in the evening." Chen Che turned on the small warm lamp by the bedside so that Ning Wensong could gradually adjust to the light.
"Hmm..." Ning Wensong's eyes felt much better now. Her eyes had been watering when the phone light shone on them. "Why didn't you wake me? How could I sleep tonight?"
Shen Che knew it was his fault. He had originally planned to call her earlier, but when the cow-and-cow cat arrived, he went downstairs to meet her and chatted with that person for a while downstairs.
"I'm sorry, I'll fall asleep tonight. You still have some practice to do later." Shen Che's tone always softened unconsciously when speaking to Ning Wensong, as if he were talking to a child.
He lowered his head and stared at the pitiful Ah Song, and couldn't help but kiss him.
...
"Hmph, do you think I'm going to forgive you! Unless dinner is as delicious as lunch!" Ning Wensong rolled out of his arms, pretending to be angry and covering her face, while peeking at him through her fingers.
Shen Che chuckled, stood up, and went out. "Alright, get ready and come out. The food at this hotel is absolutely amazing. I've already asked the kitchen to prepare it. Get ready as soon as possible."
"!" Ning Wensong jumped out of bed and rushed to the walk-in closet. "I'm coming right away!"
Shen Che then called Yun Que, turned on all the lights in the room, and sat on the sofa waiting for them to come out.
After the three of them finished packing, they went to the restaurant on the top floor together.
Throughout the journey, Chen Che's gaze never left Ning Wensong.
She initially wore a regular coat, but after feeling around on the balcony, she decisively changed into a down jacket; the white clothes made her look chubby.
It looks like a small glutinous rice ball.
"Sister, you're so cute! I want to hug you later!" Yun Que spoke up before Shen Che could, looking up at Ning Wensong with sparkling eyes.
Ning Wensong couldn't resist that gaze and immediately agreed.
She was being held by Shen Che's hand, and after she agreed, she felt her hand being held tighter and tighter.
"..." Ning Wensong whispered in Chen Che's ear, "Why are you jealous of a child? I'm yours."
After they finished speaking, all three of them felt that the air on the road was much fresher. Ning Wensong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, now she could eat in peace.
This hotel's signature dishes are also seafood, or as Yun Que would say, "Oh my god, kashi."
Thinking about the need to practice the new cow-and-cat look, the three of them ate quickly, focusing only on filling their stomachs and not savoring the food.
Ning Wensong was the first to finish eating, and she slumped in her chair to check tomorrow's schedule.
It's very humane; the competition starts at 10 a.m., and there's two hours for styling.
She mentally assessed the complexity of the situation, then thought about the preliminary round again, resting her chin on her hand on the table.
"Now I know what this preliminary round is like. It's like the placement test at the beginning of junior or senior high school!"
A very apt description.
Shen Che was still eating the dessert she had left when he heard this, and he couldn't help but laugh. He just didn't know if the preliminary rounds would go smoothly tomorrow.
"The cow cat design... you don't need to be particularly innovative. Just use a simple design to tell the other contestants and judges that your skills are not low, but you don't need to pay too much attention to it."
Ning Wensong knew what he was worried about, but even if she did this, it probably wouldn't have any effect. After all, she had caused so many uproars online recently, and no matter how much she hid her strength, she would still be targeted.
Looking into Chen Che's worried eyes, she felt a warmth in her heart and answered him anyway, "I know, I will."
After dinner, fearing that Yun Que would be bored, Chen Che took him to the children's cinema.
"Are you going to stay here with me and watch?" Yun Que looked at Chen Che with innocent eyes.
"No, you can see for yourself. Just come back when you're done." Chen Che gently poked the little one's forehead with his finger, his tone smug. "I'm going to keep Asong company. You can see for yourself. If you need anything, just ask one of the waiters over there to call me."
After saying that, he left without even looking at Hibari's expression.
Little did he know that Yun Que was secretly laughing behind his back. He hadn't intended to cling to his sister; he just found it amusing to see his brother jealous.
Isn't the current situation quite amusing? Hehe.
When Chen Che went upstairs, Ning Wensong was still holding the cow cat and staring blankly.
"Hey! What are you thinking about?" Chen Che slowed his pace, trying to scare her.
Ning Wensong didn't react. She just looked up when she heard the voice. "I was thinking, if we're going to make a police officer look for a calico cat, after adding a police badge with altered details to its body, what should we do with the rest of the body? Should we reference a police uniform?"
She's been sitting here thinking about this, and she's a little undecided.
Upon hearing this, Shen Che pondered for a moment, then sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
After thinking for a moment about police-themed accessories, I carefully offered my suggestion, "I have an idea. Draw or cut out the shape of a number on the side of the face, add some aesthetic touches, and the face will be complete. Since there's a police badge on the body, we can make sleeves on the upper part of the legs. The body can have other small silver decorations, and the tail can be a chain..."
His aesthetic sense, influenced by what he saw and heard, had already taken on Ning Wensong's shape, and this time his opinion struck a chord with her.
Ning Wensong listened without saying a word, but as he pictured the design in his mind, he became excited.
"This is excellent! Thank you, Chen Che! This idea is exactly the same as one that I hadn't been able to unearth from the depths of my inspiration!"
She thought for a moment, then turned her face and gave him three big kisses on the lips.
"Hehe :)" Ning Wensong kissed him and then ignored him, standing up and carrying the black and white cat to another empty room to start practicing.
She checked the time and decided to finish within two hours.
For Ning Wensong, the main things she needed to practice were the police numbers and badges; the rest were not difficult for her.
Ning Wensong rummaged through his suitcase and found the faux fur he had bought online before leaving, which he could use for practice.
She first wrapped it with plastic wrap, then marked the location of the calico cat. Ning Wensong thought for a moment that the flat exercise and the exercise with a range of motion on the body must be different.
"Chen Che, could you buy me some glue? I want to try sticking the simulated fur onto cling film to practice, so it won't hurt the cat." She went outside and lay down on Chen Che.
"No need to go out, just call the front desk." Shen Che patted her head back, thinking that he should have asked that person to find two black and white cats.
Ning Wensong was surprised; the hotel receptionist was truly omnipotent.
A moment later, the doorbell rang. Shen Che went to open the door and got the glue. He shook the thing in his hand and laughed with Ning Wensong.
This kind of life is comfortable and wonderful.
Two novels passed quickly, and Ning Wensong was a little worried. She had done the numbering very smoothly, but the police badge was the only problem. The lines were complicated and it couldn't be made too big, so it needed more polishing.
She also wants to create variations based on the original.
Shen Che pushed open the door and entered her practice room, where he saw Ning Wensong sitting on the floor, intently trimming a small piece of bare fur in her hand.
"Ah..." He was about to speak when he noticed Ning Wensong's head was covered in sweat. Afraid that she would be distracted and her hands would tremble, he stood still and remained silent.
After Ning Wensong finished the last piece of work, Chen Che spoke softly, "How's your practice going?"
He slowly walked in and handed her the freshly warmed milk he was carrying.
Ning Wensong didn't speak, but took a sip first. "Ah, so comfortable! I just did the last exercise. Actually, it looked good, but when I was trimming the smallest, most curved lines, my hands kept shaking."
Shen Che tore the piece of simulated fur off the cow cat, held it in his hand and examined it closely. He could clearly see the progress he had made after many practice sessions.
"You've improved a lot already. To me, your latest performance is already perfect!" Shen Che patted her head, comforting her. "A Song, don't have such high expectations of yourself. You're already this good, and you'll only perform better in tomorrow's preliminary round!"
"Okay! Let me practice for another half hour before we wash up and go to bed!" Ning Wensong felt much more relaxed, but still wanted to practice a little more.
Chen Che agreed. He went to the bathroom to run a bath. This time, he chose a room with a bathtub, and he brought several bath sponges of different flavors with him when he packed his things.
Hmm... I'll use the creamy peach flavor for Ah Song today!
Half an hour later, Ning Wensong stood up and stretched; her back was really sore.
As soon as Ning Wensong stepped into the living room, she heard a knock on the door. Without thinking much, she opened it.
"Hello." Xu Lin stood at the door, looking at the girl in front of him with a bit of a loss.
He tightened his grip on the lark, squeezing it until it hurt a little.
"Meow~" the lark called out, attracting the two's attention.
Xu Lin then realized what was happening. "Oh, hello, I found this cat near the cinema. I asked the waiter, and he said only your room number had been here, so I brought it over."
The lark seemed a little guilty as it listened to him, licked its paws, and deliberately avoided looking at Ning Wensong.
"Okay, thank you for bringing him back!" Ning Wensong only knew how to say thank you, not knowing how to respond to the person staring at her intently.
Um……
"Chen Che! Come out here for a moment!" she called out, then snatched Yun Que and hugged her tightly.
Shen Che was still tinkering with something in the room when he heard the shouts and came out immediately. He saw the stranger at the door and quickly stepped forward to shield Ning Wensong behind him.
"Who are you?" He felt uncomfortable with the person's gaze.
Xu Lin hesitated for a moment when he saw the person in front of him who was taller than him, and then said it again in a good-natured manner.
Shen Che breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, went back into the house to get a small cake and handed it to him, "Thank you so much for bringing it back. Take this home and eat it. It was made fresh tonight."
Ning Wensong's eyes followed the cake, which amused Shen Che, who was secretly watching her. She took Shen Che's hand and hooked her palm around it.
Xu Lin stood at the door for a moment, staring blankly at them, before finally recalling the man's identity in his mind.
He patiently waited for the two to interact for a while before smiling and saying, "Hello, I'm Xu Lin, also participating in the Moe Creation Competition. I don't know when that cat was your work, but remember to hide it well, it wouldn't be good if bad people saw it."
"I'll gladly accept this little cake. See you on the field tomorrow!"
After saying that, Xu Lin closed the door and left, humming a song in a good mood.
What an interesting opponent.
Shen Che pulled the culprit out of Ning Wensong's arms, "Why did you turn back into your original form?"
"I was the only one in that theater. I had nothing to do, so I just randomly put on a movie with really good pictures, but there were ghosts in it... I got scared and turned back into my original form." Yun Que knew he was in the wrong. He had just turned back into his original form when that person discovered him, and he didn't even have a chance to turn back.
Shen Che was amused by this reason; it turned out that way.
"But you can't use the original form outside for the next few days. Luckily, you met him today. If it had been someone else, your sister would have been at a disadvantage in the competition!" He deliberately scared Yun Que.
Sure enough, the lark immediately stood up its feathers and promised that it would never do that again in the next few days.
Ning Wensong, who was listening nearby, asked curiously, "Why is it that this person is fine?"
Chen Che replied, "Because he's the opponent I told you about..."
