Chapter 114 The Girl Who Raises Silkworms



Zhou Chu looked at their chat history.

To be precise, Gao Qinyi did not completely agree.

She only agreed to take couple photos with Zhou Chu, and she even made a point of saying it at the end.

She wanted to have a detailed discussion with Gu Man about Gu Tang before the photoshoot.

The agreed time and place are the cafeteria at noon.

Zhou Chu glanced at his phone screen; it was almost noon.

"You guys chat." Zhou Chu stood up and strode out of the cafeteria without turning around.

It's really not that he's stingy.

Everyone has their own past. Even if Gu Tang had succeeded in confessing his feelings, it doesn't matter that they were together before.

It's all in the past now; as long as Gao Qinyi is by my side, that's enough.

It's Gao Qinyi's right to choose who to befriend and who to cut ties with, and Zhou Chu knows that she knows what she's doing.

But the reason he was unwilling to let Gao Qinyi continue to be Gu Man's model was quite simple.

I just feel that Gu Man's original purpose was not pure enough.

From the very beginning, everything she said, including her motives and actions, was only her side of the story.

Zhou Chu felt that this woman was troublesome and not someone to befriend, having done these things without consulting anyone.

Gu Man sensed his attitude, bit her lip, and still said:

"I really meant no harm, I hope you can forgive me."

Zhou Chu didn't turn around, he just waved his hand.

She thinks too highly of herself.

After leaving the cafeteria.

Zhou Chu suddenly realized that he seemed to have nowhere to go!

It's only a little past ten o'clock now, and there's still a long time before lunch break.

If we go back to renting, it would be better to wait until Gao Qinyi finishes what she's doing, and then the two of us can go together.

If I go back to the dorm, I'll probably be besieged by my roommates.

After all, he hadn't been back for so many days, and he had clearly moved out to live with Gao Qinyi.

So, the current situation is that he has nowhere to go and no computer to use for writing.

It felt like I was all alone.

Zhou Chu swept aside a bicycle.

It's already November, and the temperature in Liancheng is shockingly low.

Even at the highest temperature, it won't exceed ten degrees Celsius.

Although he hadn't yet reached the level of exhaling white mist, he still gasped when he gripped the handlebars.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves.

The bicycle rolled over it, making a soft, rustling sound.

Writing every day can easily deplete all your savings and inspiration.

Whether it comes from one's own heart or for long-term planning, such daily insights are certainly indispensable.

He didn't step on the brakes until they reached the foot of the mountain.

It's a very low hill on campus.

Because the school has a sericulture-related major, many mulberry trees have been planted here.

Of course, the reason he knew mulberry trees was because Gao Qinyi and he had raised silkworms when they were children.

Zhou Chu himself dislikes all kinds of insects, and he still does to this day.

Therefore, he objected to Gao Qinyi's silkworm farming.

Naturally, his objections were ignored.

Back then, in order to raise silkworms properly, Gao Qinyi even dragged him to a mulberry grove that was extremely far away and picked a bunch of mulberry leaves!

There will be a thin, light layer of fuzz on it.

Of course, the silkworm died a very tragic death; almost no animal could escape Gao Qinyi's ravages.

There is a small path on the mountain that leads directly to the silkworm grove.

As Zhou Chu walked further in, the path was hidden among the trees, and he could only keep his head down and squeeze through.

But after moving forward several dozen steps...

The trees that provide cover end here.

A world that suddenly becomes clear and bright.

Then he saw a young girl under the mulberry tree.

In my hand, I hold a mulberry leaf, on which a plump, white worm is wriggling.

That's right, that worm is a silkworm.

The girl also noticed Zhou Chu's arrival, but she didn't look at him. She simply reached out her hand to signal him not to speak and disturb the silkworms eating the leaves.

Zhou Chu couldn't go over there either, so he could only stand there and watch helplessly as the mulberry leaf was eaten less and less.

Until the whole piece is finished.

The girl held the silkworm in her palm, lifted it high, and sent it back to the tree.

It's a short, small mulberry tree.

Only after the silkworms successfully returned did she breathe a sigh of relief, relax, and walk straight towards Zhou Chu.

"You're also from the Sericulture College?"

"No." Zhou Chu shook his head.

"A freshman?" the girl asked after carefully examining Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu also began to scrutinize her.

She is of medium height but slightly overweight.

It is widely known that being slightly chubby is the ideal.

Her face isn't fat, but it's a bit chubby, which makes her look cute.

Sun Yao would probably like this type of girl very much.

“That’s right.” Zhou Chu nodded honestly.

"Junior..." Her already large eyes widened even more, as if she had never seen him before: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Such a direct question?

Isn't it said that there are more men than women in science and engineering colleges? Why is she so thirsty?

If you go straight to the point, what if you answer that you're single? Wouldn't she then confess her feelings?

But he remained honest as always: "Yes."

"What a pity." The girl sighed, her previous enthusiasm vanishing, replaced by a coldness bordering on normalcy. "What are you doing here? You're not here to steal our silkworms, are you?"

"Of course not!" Zhou Chu hurriedly waved his hand: "I have no use for that thing."

"What do you mean you're useless! Isn't being cute useful?" the girl interrupted him, huffing and puffing.

As he spoke, he beckoned him to come closer to the mulberry tree.

Sure enough, it was another silkworm eating mulberry leaves.

"Is this what sericulture students do all day?" Zhou Chu scratched his head.

“Of course not.” The girl shook her head, becoming serious when discussing academic matters: “There are so many interesting things about sericulture! Like watching silkworms eat leaves, watching them spin silk and form cocoons…”

"Then break open its cocoon and take away the silk?"

"You..." The girl's face turned red with anger as she saw her true intentions exposed.

She really wanted to object to something, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that this was exactly what her major was for.

Sericulture overlaps with biology, agronomy, and other fields, but it is mainly confined to silkworm rearing. To put it nicely, it is called biological breeding; to put it bluntly, it is just being a babysitter for animals.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, it's pointless!" The girl turned away angrily and continued to observe the silkworms eating the mulberry leaves.

He didn't forget to turn back and say, "This is our sericulture territory. You'd better leave as soon as possible! These days, our silkworms are always being stolen. You'd better be careful not to be mistaken for the bad guy who stole our experimental results!"
