Chapter 38
Ning Wensong woke up the next day, having slept for nearly ten hours.
She looked up at the warm yellow light streaming through the window, her mind blank.
A slight sound came from the doorway. She turned her gaze and saw Chen Che gently push the door open and come in.
When Shen Che looked over, Ning Wensong gave him a big smile.
"Hug me!" she cried, longing for a hug.
It can restore vitality.
Shen Che put down his breakfast, put his big hand around Ning Wensong's head, and pulled her into his arms.
His chest was hot, and his heart was beating fast.
"So comfortable~ I've recovered!" Ning Wensong's eyes crinkled, and she felt her heart filled with strength.
It can face all unknowns and bad things.
As long as Chen Che is by my side.
"That's good, baby, I was so worried." Chen Che nuzzled against her face, his eyes drooping, looking a little pitiful.
Ning Wensong couldn't help but chuckle and patted his back. "Alright, stop being so cute. You have to believe me!"
Shen Che realized that his coquettishness was too obvious, so he let go of Ning Wensong and took her to wash up.
"Lift your face." He gently wiped her face with a handkerchief.
Ning Wensong obediently did as instructed.
"Today we need to go to the competition venue to film the contestants' introductions and then pick up the invitations to the finals," Shen Che said, leaning against the wall while she brushed her teeth, his hand playing with the pom-poms on Ning Wensong's pajamas.
Actually, he didn't want Ning Wensong to go, because she would definitely run into Xu Lin, but...
"Okay, let's go together." Ning Wensong had already made up her mind. No matter what, she had to face it, right?
Just face it with a smile, it's probably not a bad thing.
Even if there are bad things, Chen Che is there to keep you company.
Shen Che smiled and nodded, agreeing.
Since it was just a regular day, they didn't bring Skylark with them; they just asked the receptionist for a game console and left.
They should be back soon.
The sun is shining brightly today, dispelling the winter chill.
Shen Che took her hand and put it in his pocket, the two of them very close together.
As soon as they entered the hotel, the receptionist stopped them, "Hello, hello. We haven't touched anything in the room. Do you need to take anything with you today?"
They only found out about the incident on that floor when the police arrived yesterday. They didn't dare to touch anything, so they could only fix the door first.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Che realized that there were still clothes he had bought for Ning Wensong in the room, so he decided to take them with him.
"Take it with us today. If it's convenient, could you open the door for us?" He glanced at the time; it was still early, so they could pack up first before filming.
The two of them slowly walked upstairs together, chatting and laughing.
The aisle was empty now, but their voices continued to echo.
"It shouldn't take long to film, right?" Ning Wensong wasn't afraid of being on camera; she just didn't know what to say.
Shen Che squeezed her hand. "No, you can just introduce yourself briefly. If possible, you can also introduce me in the family section."
This is how we can assert our sovereignty.
Ning Wensong chuckled and nodded in a conciliatory manner, "Definitely, definitely, you are my only family..."
Ning Wensong stopped before he could finish speaking.
She looked at Xu Lin, who was standing at their door.
Shen Che saw it too, and the two of them stopped in their tracks, standing not far from him.
Xu Lin turned around, stood facing them, and said with a wry smile, "Can I talk to you? I'll tell you everything you want to know, including my background, including Chang Qian..."
He was in so much pain. If he had told them beforehand, things wouldn't be like this now.
Ning Wensong spoke up before Shen Che could, "Okay, but we'll have to wait until this afternoon, we have things to do right now."
Her expression was calm as she spoke, and her heartbeat was also calm.
Shen Che was relieved and smiled as he asked Xu Lin to leave.
"Alright, let's clean up together!" Ning Wensong grabbed his arm and led him into the room, ready to get to work.
Actually, there wasn't much stuff. Luckily, I moved out after only a few days, otherwise the mess would have been hard to tidy up.
The sun has moved, and sunlight is no longer streaming through the window.
"Two and a half boxes, should we have someone send them back first or should we take them back ourselves?" Ning Wensong looked at the boxes in front of her, feeling troubled. She just wanted to finish them quickly so she could go eat.
After thinking it over carefully, I decided to ask the hotel staff to come and move the items, and also order some takeout for Yun Que.
Ning Wensong went to check if anything was missed, and Chen Che took the opportunity to make contact now.
"Alright, let's carry them downstairs and then go eat." Shen Che took the lead and picked up the two large boxes, leaving the smaller ones for Ning Wensong.
He carried the two large suitcases with ease, even walking faster than Ning Wensong.
When he got downstairs, Xu Lin hadn't left yet; he was just lingering in the lobby. His eyes lit up when he saw the two of them coming down one after another.
"Let's go." Ning Wensong and Shen Che held hands and went to the buffet restaurant together, without giving Xu Lin even a glance.
Xu Lin: ...
He opened his mouth and slowly closed it again, trying to find some humor in the thought that at least they could still chat in the afternoon.
This time, he didn't follow the two of them; instead, he went to eat in the opposite direction.
This time, Chen Che was very careful, paying close attention to the condition of each dish.
He inspected every single bite Ning Wensong ate.
Halfway through the meal, Ning Wensong was getting a little helpless. She tried to stop him, saying, "Nothing will happen. Those people have all gone in. No one would do something that harms others without benefiting themselves."
Shen Che understood this principle, but he was still worried. "Alright."
He verbally agreed, but he still secretly had the ability to check the safety of the food.
The seafood was delicious as always. Ning Wensong slumped in his chair for a long time before his stomach shrunk a little.
"Do you think I've gained a little weight?" She always felt that she had become too chubby.
"You're not fat at all, you feel really nice to touch! You're still a kitten, you're still growing." Chen Che gently pinched her little face, it felt so good to pinch.
"This is a healthy figure; I was too thin before."
Chen Che feels a great sense of accomplishment now, having raised her from a tiny little girl he first met to who she is today.
The phone rang abruptly, and Chenche answered it. It was a call informing them to arrive early and prepare.
A word popped into Ning Wensong's mind, and she blurted out, "It's like you're my manager!"
Shen Che nodded, eager to go. "Let's go, let's go over there."
The stadium was very close, and filming had already started when the two arrived.
A small shed stood out conspicuously in the middle of the field.
"It feels like a makeshift operation..." Ning Wensong whispered in Shen Che's ear.
Shen Che knew some inside information, and he whispered to Ning Wensong, "It seems that the organizers plan to turn Mengchuang into a program, so they added a contestant introduction and may ask a few questions."
"Hmm, it's okay, there's nothing I can't answer." This kind of response is usually not excessive.
They sat on the sidelines watching the contestants go in and out, each contestant having only three minutes.
Soon it was Ning Wensong's turn. She slowly walked in and sat down in her assigned spot.
The junior director behind the camera directed, "Contestant Ning, please introduce yourself!"
"I am Ning Wensong, an ordinary pet stylist who specializes in innovative styles. I have been working on this path for ten years and hope to create even better styles for everyone in the future. If you are interested, you can follow my account~ My account is xxxxxxxx."
Ning Wensong didn't know what to say, so he simply added an advertisement in the last sentence.
The tour guide's lips twitched slightly, and he continued, "Then tell us who you'd like to thank the most!"
With a gentle smile on her face, Ning Wensong looked directly at the camera and said, "The first people I want to thank are my master and mistress. They brought me into this industry and allowed me to train myself and purify my soul through pet styling. They also allowed me to grow up smoothly and receive an education."
"The second person I want to thank is my partner, Chen Che. I love him very much. He gave me a second life, encouraged me time and time again, and took me to see more scenery and more beauty."
She paused for a moment, then flashed a big smile at the camera, "I love you, forever and ever."
Everyone inside the small shed felt full, but they were caught off guard by being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
The tour guide checked the duration and thought it was about right.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Ning Wensong nodded, walked out, and grasped the hand that Chen Che offered.
“We’re going to a nearby coffee shop now. Xu Lin said he made a reservation and asked us to come over.” Shen Che walked out side by side with her.
"OK, let's go. Hopefully what he has to say isn't bad."
—
cafes.
Xu Lin was completely flustered. He kept trying to organize his thoughts and explain himself in the best way possible, but the more flustered he became, the less he knew what to say.
As the time drew closer, Xu Lin became less panicked.
Especially after seeing Ning Wensong enter the private room, he stared into Ning Wensong's glassy eyes and became extremely calm.
Ning Wensong was the first to speak, "Go ahead and say it, we're listening."
She was held in Shen Che's arms, her face calm and expressionless, but the hand Shen Che was holding betrayed her feelings, as it was trembling slightly.
Xu Lin cleared his throat, preparing to speak as he had planned, but after making eye contact with Ning Wensong again, he abandoned that line.
"Let me tell you a story. The protagonist is me, Ning Wensong, Chang Qian."
"It was winter. On Songqing Mountain, a pair of identical twin kittens, a boy and a girl, became spirits. That year, the snow was heavy, and the whole mountain was covered in white. The older brother begged the monks on the mountain to give them a den, which allowed them to survive. After one winter, the younger sister wanted to go to school, and with the help of the monks, they went to human society."
"In human society, my sister met a tabby cat, who was also a spirit. They became very good friends. For a while, the tabby cat didn't come for a long time. When they met again, it brought a human, Chang Qian. The three of them had a lot of fun at that time, until one time Chang Qian got sick and stayed in bed for two months. When she came out, she was a completely different person."
"At that time, the younger sister didn't realize anything. She only noticed that the tabby cat didn't come out often, and Chang Qian would always look at her with a vicious gaze. Later, the younger sister disappeared, and Chang Qian's smug smile took her place. The older brother went through countless hardships but couldn't find his sister. He and Chang Qian often fought until one time when the older brother learned the ability to read minds from another cat demon, and only then did he learn the truth from Chang Qian."
"My younger sister was lost by Chang Qian and went to another world."
