Chapter 40
Xu Lin was completely stunned, and he tried his best to force a smile.
"Long time no see, little sister."
Ning Wensong's memories have all returned. She is only slightly awkward around Xu Lin now. After thinking about it, she decides not to stay in the mountain city any longer. The rest of the time will be for her and Shen Che to enjoy their own private time.
Thinking of everyone in Yuncheng, her eyes crinkled into a smile, and she rested her chin on her hand on the table. "Brother, do you want to come back to Yuncheng with us? We have many friends there. Let us introduce you to them."
Let's have a meal together!
She felt happy just thinking about this scene.
Xu Lin's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed, "Great! When shall we set off?"
"Hmm... the day after tomorrow, let's rest for a couple of days and then set off!"
Ning Wensong is in a great mood right now.
They stayed in the private room for another half hour, catching up on each other's recent situations before parting ways.
Xu Lin needs to go back and deal with his family. After fulfilling the original owner's wish, he should pursue his own dreams within his limited lifespan.
Ning Wensong and the others stood at the hotel entrance, watching Xu Lin, who was about to face the artillery fire.
"Alright, let's grab our luggage and head back." Shen Che shook their intertwined hands and looked at her with a smile.
"..." Ning Wensong stood still, her eyes sparkling with mischief, and pulled Chen Che towards the small park next to the hotel.
A cold wind whistled past them.
She dragged Chen Che around the park twice before finally finding a swing chair.
Luckily, she saw it a few days ago when she was bored and peered out the window.
Ning Wensong hurriedly had Shen Che turn into a cat and sit next to her, so that their current positions would match those in her memory.
She looked at Chen Che with starry eyes, "Do you remember this scene? Does anything come to mind?"
Shen Che let him do as he pleased throughout, sitting on the swing chair and looking at Ning Wensong, when a scene suddenly appeared in his mind.
Back then, he encountered setbacks in human society and, feeling frustrated, transformed back into his original form and lay listlessly in the grass of a park, where he unexpectedly saw two cat demon children...
“Baby, it was you back then! We actually met so long ago!” His mind was now filled with Ning Wensong’s adorable little face.
Chen Che gently cast a spell, and a breeze made the swing chair sway.
"Yes, what a coincidence! I never imagined that we had met in different ways so long ago," Ning Wensong said with emotion, feeling that the world was both very big and very small.
On a grand scale, it can allow you to travel between two different times and spaces; on a smaller scale, it can bring all your family and friends together.
"Did you know? The monk on Songqing Mountain is the same one who saved my brother and me in the early winter. It's really amazing. Let's go again with my brother during the break between the finals, shall we?" Ning Wensong marveled at the wonder of fate countless times, and now she spoke with great enthusiasm.
"Hmm?" Shen Che deliberately dragged out his words, "Do you still remember how upset you were yesterday? You've forgiven him so quickly already?"
"..."
Ning Wensong blushed and lowered her eyes. "Oh dear, now everyone knows he's the older brother. Besides, I was just tired and mentally exhausted yesterday. Today's events can make all my unhappiness disappear!"
Shen Che smiled helplessly, crawled back into the pile of clothes and transformed back into a human, then hugged Ning Wensong to him.
The wind was gently blew, kept at a level that wouldn't make it cold.
"There are still almost 20 days until the finals, what are we going to do when we get back?"
"Hmm... First thing I want to do is go hiking, meet the little monk, and then invite Xiao Li, Hei Yin, Gu Ci, Gu Nian, Yun Que, and my brother~, let's eat together and go camping together!"
Ning Wensong is looking forward to this kind of relaxation; she'll play for a few days before thinking about styling.
Shen Che thought this was fine, since it all depended on her own wishes.
Thinking about the finals, Ning Wensong had a headache for a while, feeling like her inspiration was being drained. She felt like she had already created so many different cat designs, so for the finals she would just let loose and create that design...
She looked at Shen Che with a malicious gaze and made a "hehehe" sound.
"..." Shen Che felt a chill run through his body and shivered uncontrollably.
What are you going to do?
Ning Wensong asked in a seemingly tactful way, "How about using you in the finals?"
This is a Maine! A big, shiny Maine!
Shen Che shook his head, clearing his mind of the bad thoughts. He looked at Ning Wensong seriously and said, "I'm willing. I expect you to make me look very handsome, or even beautiful!"
He planned to trick everyone into going back to his hometown after the competition so he could show off his new look and let everyone who had criticized him see it.
Shen Che is also very handsome!
"Okay, okay, let's go back and discuss the styling properly. Now let's go back to the hotel and see how Yun Que is doing all by herself."
Ning Wensong pulled him to his feet and led him back.
The sun is shining brightly today, and a cool breeze is blowing.
As soon as they returned to the hotel, Lark rushed over and hugged them, exclaiming, "You're back!"
Ning Wensong patted his little head and said softly, "We're going out for a nice meal tonight! You'll be a left-behind child again tomorrow."
She suppressed a laugh, watching Hibari's reaction intently.
Just as she expected, upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Hibari immediately let out a wail; he was really bored being alone in the hotel.
“We’ve already had our romantic getaway. If you want to go, I can find someone for you, but he might not have time.” Ning Wensong thought of her brother, wondering what would happen when he got home.
Lark sighed uninterestedly and said in an adult tone, "I don't want to go out, I want to play games!"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Che tentatively asked, "How about we buy you a cell phone?"
"!" The lark's eyes turned into a cat's round pupils, and he jumped up in surprise, "I want it! I want it! Thank you, brothers and sisters, I love you, brothers and sisters!"
His reaction made the two adults laugh; it was so funny.
One room was filled with laughter and joy, while the other was eerily silent.
The hotel where Xu Lin is staying.
A teacup grazed Xu Lin's forehead and flew past before hitting the wall behind him.
Xu Lin didn't even blink.
His tone was calm yet carried an undeniable air of authority: "I already said, getting second place in the preliminary round is enough to repay you. My ambitions have never been in this area, so don't waste your breath."
Old Xu sat in his chair, trembling with anger. He said in a deep voice, "I know this isn't your ambition, but at least participate in the finals, okay? You're putting me in a difficult position!"
"Oh dear, I've already participated in the competition and shown my strength. Besides, life is short, so I should enjoy it while I can. I have to realize my dreams while I'm still alive." Xu Lin tried his best to persuade him with reason, and he winked at Old Xu.
"...Don't flirt with me. Don't you know what I'm thinking, surfing the internet every day?" Old Xu couldn't stand it anymore. What was a man doing doing this for?
Xu Lin searched his mind for many solutions, and then, as if he had just thought of something, he moved closer to Old Xu and had his legs massaged.
"Grandpa, look, I recognized Ning Wensong as my sister today, so she's practically family now. If she wins the finals again, you'll be happy, right?"
He said a lot of nice things, sometimes praising how great his grandfather was when he was young, and sometimes saying that Ning Wensong was a genius of unparalleled talent...
Old Xu didn't know what was wrong with him, and just let him talk for a long time.
It wasn't until dusk that Old Xu came to his senses. "Alright, alright, stop talking. Do whatever you want."
Watching Xu Lin happily leave, Old Master Xu chuckled and whispered from behind, "It's not like we can't afford to support him. Being happy is the most important thing..."
After returning to his room, Xu Lin began packing. He estimated he would be staying in Yuncheng until the finals, so he wondered what he should bring...
Bring this, bring that too, oh yeah, and the camera, and this...
He was so engrossed in packing that he had unknowingly filled two large boxes.
The phone suddenly rang, startling Xu Lin. He quickly answered the phone, and it was Ning Wensong's voice on the other end.
"Brother, are you free tomorrow? Come play games with a little kitten~"
"Kitty? Is that you?" That was Xu Lin's first reaction.
Ning Wensong laughed twice. "How could it be me? It's the little cat I brought to the competition. Shen Che and I are going on a romantic getaway tomorrow. Come and keep him company."
Xu Lin was about to say something like, "That's really unfair," when Ning Wensong added, "Let's go out for dinner together tomorrow night!"
These words soothed all his dissatisfaction, and he readily agreed, "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow to play with that kitten."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Wensong began her detective analysis based on Xu Lin's tone, "My brother is still so lively, so he probably hasn't been criticized. I wonder what he's been through?"
Chen Che watched her make the phone call, calculating the timing of her heat cycle in his mind.
After Ning Wensong hung up, he didn't continue the topic of Xu Lin. Instead, he took Yun Que into his room, leaving the two of them alone in the living room.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Ning Wensong was a little confused. Was something serious?
"Sigh." Chen Che gently poked her head. "Little cat! Your heat will be in a few days."
Ning Wensong was dissatisfied and mercilessly exposed him, "Actually, you just remembered this, right? Don't try to scold me, hmph."
After saying that, she began to feel a little worried, feeling embarrassed to bring such a thing into the open.
Chen Che smiled and picked her up, carrying her into the room. "Okay, I'm Da Wangmao. Don't overthink it. If anything's wrong, just tell me. The new house is basically ready to move into. We'll go there directly when we get back. We won't go back to the hotel yet."
Ning Wensong hugged his neck and whispered a few words, but Shen Che didn't hear her clearly and asked her to repeat them.
"Hey, I mean only the two of us can be in the house! Otherwise I'll be so shy!" Ning Wensong shouted in his ear.
Chen Che's ears were ringing. He closed his eyes to suppress the discomfort and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
He threw Ning Wensong onto the bed, pulled out his belt and threw it on the floor. "Let's fight!"
"?"
Seeing his appearance ignited Ning Wensong's fighting spirit. He immediately stood up on the bed and roared, "Bring it on!"
Shen Che looked at her with a tense face, afraid that he would laugh out loud. He made a fake move and hugged Ning Wensong and kissed her.
"Just say you want to kiss me... Stop acting like a teenager..."
