After signing up for the collaborative mission, Shi Nian planned to go somewhere else. Azel had nothing important to do, so he followed him and walked around with him.
After passing through many clubs such as art, cooking, sculpture, etc. without hesitation, Shi Nian stopped in front of the ancient customs and culture club.
In order to attract more students, the Ancient Customs and Culture Club specially invited students to dance the lion. Accompanied by the loud sound of gongs and drums, the lion jumped and leaned forward with a lively and agile posture.
Shi Nian watched intently, her round eyes slightly widening at this strange scene she had never seen before. She exclaimed, "It feels so interesting."
Ezel: "Want to give it a try?"
Shi Nian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Is it okay?"
The Omega senior in charge of registration was from the high school. She recognized Azel and had heard a little about Shi Nian. She smiled and exclaimed, "It seems that the powerful people all know each other and like to play together."
Ezer should have gone to college, but the school automatically retained his student status for the two years he was on a mission, so he was still in his third year of high school.
Whether in terms of family background or academic performance, Azel is the best in high school. He is rarely seen hanging out with others. It is only said that he has a childhood sweetheart who is still in junior high school, and the two have a close relationship.
She glanced at the soft Shi Nian and said, "You are Senior Aizel's childhood sweetheart, right?"
This was the second time Shi Nian had been recognized for his relationship with Aizel. He nodded and said, "Well, Aizel and I have known each other since we were very young. But how did you know about this, sister?"
Hearing Shi Nian's soft voice calling her "sister," the girl's smile widened. "The whole high school knows about this."
She didn't forget her responsibilities and introduced them, "You can try it out first before deciding whether to join our club. We have extra lion dance props to provide."
Shi Nian's eyes lit up, and she glanced at the lion dance. "Can I dress up as a big lion like this and play?"
The girl smiled and said, "Of course, but lion dancing usually requires two people, one in front and one behind. You can't do it alone. You need someone to dance with you."
Shi Nian immediately turned her gaze to Azel, her dark, bright eyes filled with anticipation. She grabbed the corner of his shirt and pleaded softly, "Brother Azel, is this okay?"
Azel's eyes were conflicted. He looked at the lion rolling on the ground, then looked at Shi Nian with eyes full of expectation. He nodded slowly under the girl's teasing gaze.
Shi Nian smiled happily, "You are the best!"
The girl marveled at Ezel's doting on his childhood sweetheart and even led them forward, "Then why don't you all come with us to the club's training room? There are more costumes to choose from and there are coaches to teach you."
Shi Nian pulled Azel along and followed. Looking at the lion heads and lion backs neatly arranged in the training room, she whimpered softly and chose the one she liked.
After the girls dropped them off, they returned. Coach Alpha glanced at them and took out a set of lion dance props. "This one is lighter. You beginners can try this one."
The lion's head was made to look lifelike, and the goose-yellow mane was very soft. Shi Nian couldn't let it go as she touched it. She followed Azel to change into pants and crawled under the lion's back together.
Shi Nian held the lion's head in front, and Azel was behind him, acting as the back half of the lion. However, due to the height difference between the two, the lion's waist was higher than the front part.
It's like having a herniated disc.
The coach called a halt in a rather inexplicable tone, "Change positions."
Shi Nian didn't understand why, but since the coach said so, he obediently switched positions with Azel and let him serve as the Lion Head.
But in doing so, the waist collapsed.
The coach clicked his tongue and looked at the deformed lion in confusion.
After a while, the girl came over with another Alpha. The coach took a look at the height of this Alpha and his eyes suddenly became hot. "It's you!"
Kanat was confused. He just wanted to relax after a breakup, and he saw the lion in the advertisement was cool and wanted to come and see it.
He felt confused when he met the coach's eyes that were as if he was looking at a savior. Then he looked at the "paralyzed" lion in the middle of the training room, and Canet felt cheated.
He pointed at the lion and asked the girl, "Didn't you say lions are cool? What the hell is this?"
Shi Nian, who was trapped in the lion's back, heard a familiar voice. He lifted the lion's back and looked over. Azel also came out from the lion's head and stroked his hair, which was static-charged with fur.
When Kanat saw them, he quickly withdrew his hand and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
The air in the lion's back was stagnant, and Shi Nian's fair face flushed red as she panted slightly. "Let's play with the lion. Does Brother Kanate want to play too?"
Kanat: "No, I..."
The coach interrupted him, "You are the best fit."
Kanat: “……?”
He just took a look at it because he thought it was interesting, and he didn't plan to try it himself!
But the coach pushed him over and said to Shi Nian with a smile, "Little guy, your height isn't suitable for being with this Alpha. How about you change your role?"
Shi Nian was stunned for a few seconds, then pursed her lips and looked resentful. "So you're here to steal my place."
Kanat panicked, "No, no, I just want to take a look."
Shi Nian smiled again without any grudges. "I was just kidding. I know I'm too short to carry this lion. You do it."
Shi Nian gave up his position to Kanate, and the coach gave him a hydrangea with a bell hanging on it, and asked him to act as a lion guide in front of the lion.
Shi Nian looked at the big red hydrangea and shook it. The hydrangea made a crisp sound, which was very interesting.
Perhaps it was because the ball was extremely attractive to cats, Ke Lais was also drawn out. He stood on Shi Nian's shoulder and stretched out his claws to scratch the hydrangea.
Ezer and Kanat are of similar height, and under the coach's gradual guidance, they finally look a bit like professional lion dancers.
Shi Nian was in front, holding a hydrangea, swaying it here and there. The big lion chased the hydrangea, occasionally rolling on the ground. Its cute and adorable appearance made Shi Nian's heart tremble with affection.
Kanat has gone from resisting at the beginning to really liking him in the later stages. He jumps around energetically, and Ezel has to cooperate with him and can only jump along with him.
So the paralyzed lion suddenly recovered and turned into a mad lion.
Shi Nian, Aizer and Kanat received much attention in school. The news of their lion dance in the Ancient Culture and Customs Club spread quickly, attracting a large number of students to watch.
However, they found it difficult to reconcile the mad lion with the noble and cold Azel and the arrogant and willful Kanat in their memories, and everyone felt a sense of disillusionment.
Shi Nian was concentrating on teasing the lion, his eyes turned into crescents and his little face was filled with a bright smile.
Azel saw his smile and sighed. Forget it, it’s embarrassing, as long as Shi Nian is happy.
Kanet fell deeply in love with this lion that he could control himself, and expressed his desire to buy it before leaving. The coach smiled and waved his hand, generously letting them take the set away.
He glanced at the hydrangea in Shi Nian's arms and said, "I'll give this to you as well. It's a way of thanking you for bringing so many new members to our club."
Shi Nian immediately hugged the hydrangea happily and said, "Thank you, Coach."
Before leaving, Shi Nian's mind, which had been dazzled by the embroidery ball, finally became clearer and he remembered Xu Lin, whom he had forgotten.
By the way, he and Xulin had an appointment to meet at the library!
Shi Nian glanced at the time and saw that more than half an hour had passed since the time he and Xu Lin had agreed to meet. He panicked completely and hurried upstairs.
After running halfway, she turned back and threw the hydrangea into Ezel's arms. "Brother, please take it back for me. I need to go find my teacher."
When Keles saw that the hydrangea he had been thinking about went to Azel, his red eyes suddenly turned into vertical pupils. He shook his tail, meowed, and jumped onto the hydrangea, lying there motionless.
Daniel reached out his hand, but it was too late; he failed to stop him.
Shi Nian hesitated for a few seconds, then ran away. "Ke Lais, please help me take care of him. I'll be back soon!"
Ezel glanced down at the hydrangea and the figure stuck to it, Kolesi, and replied softly a few seconds later, "Okay."
When Shi Nian got on the elevator, she hurried to a secluded corner and found Xu Lin with a lonely look on his face.
Xulin sat in front of a temporary table with a sign on it: Interstellar Study Tour Club.
He was so bored that he started scrubbing his nails. When Shi Nian came up to him, he lazily raised his eyelids and looked at him, "It's rare that our little Rose finally remembered that there is an old lonely person like me left at home."
Shi Nian fiddled with the spirit ball on her wrist guiltily, "I'm sorry, teacher. The customs and culture club down there is so interesting that I accidentally forgot about you..."
Xu Lin's heart was pierced again, "...There's no need to be so honest."
Shi Nian fixed her eyes on the small sign in front of him and asked in surprise, "Is the teacher also running a club?"
He looked around and suggested seriously, "Are you sure you don't want to change seats? There aren't many students here."
"We don't need other students." Xu Lin straightened his sign and sat up straight. "Our club only accepts two people. Since we're relatives, you can have a spot. Go ask Nobi if she's willing to come."
Shi Nian: "..."
"Teacher, are you opening a backdoor for us?"
Xulin coughed awkwardly twice and turned away, "See through it but don't say it out loud, little Nian Nian, just know it in your heart."
No wonder he chose to set up the club in a corner on the top floor of the library where few people come. He was still mysterious when talking about this with Shi Nian.
Shi Nian glanced at the sign that said "Interstellar Study Tours" and had a vague guess in her mind. She asked uncertainly, "Teacher, what exactly does this club do?"
"Study tour," Xulin said in a more accessible way. "It's a government-funded vacation. I'll take you to various galaxies. We can't just stay in Plant. Let's go see this vast universe."
Shi Nian's heart was moved. "How long will it take?"
Xulin: "About three or four years. During this time, the school will keep your student status. When you come back, you can continue to attend high school or middle school."
Shi Nian pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and hesitated. Unable to make a decision, she simply sent a message to Nuobi, asking her if she was willing to go.
After listening to Shi Nian's description, Nobby fell into deep thought and asked sincerely, "Brot, are you really not being kidnapped? This seems like a new kidnapping tactic. Do you want me to help you call the police?"
Xu Lin heard this: "..."
Does he look so unreliable?!
Shi Nian felt the resentful aura emanating from Xu Lin, and hurriedly explained to Nuobi and proved Xu Lin's credibility to her. Nuobi then reluctantly believed that Xu Lin was not a liar, but she was not interested in interstellar study.
Nobby: "Before returning to Plant, I had already traveled to many places. There is nothing attractive outside anymore. Brot can go out and play. Many galaxies and planets are very interesting."
Since Nuobi didn't go, Shi Nian became more and more conflicted.
He had never been out of Plante since he was a child. He was curious about the outside world but also a little afraid. The most important thing was that the study abroad time was too long and he couldn't bear to leave his family.
Shi Nian's emotions were all written on his face. Xu Lin didn't push him. "You don't have to rush to give me an answer. Go back and think about it for a few days. You can also discuss it with your father and the others."
Shi Nian: "Well, I'll go back and ask them."
It just so happened that he had a day off this afternoon, so he went home to discuss it with Shi Yiyu and the others.
With heavy thoughts in his mind, Shi Nian went downstairs and saw Azel and Kanate waiting for him.
The two of them had changed back into their original clothes. Azel picked up the tassels on the hydrangea to tease Koles. Koles was influenced by the cat's attributes and excitedly waved his claws to grab the tassels.
Kanat held the lion head and begged Ezel to play with it again. "We can put it on and walk on the street. The visual effect will definitely be quite explosive. It will definitely be fun!"
"……don't want."
Azel refused decisively. He didn't want to be treated like a rare animal.
Kanat refused to give in, hooked his arm around Ezel's neck, and threatened: "I'm heartbroken, don't force me to pass my bad luck on to you!"
Ezel immediately pushed him away, disgust written all over his face.
Seeing Shi Nian coming out of the hall, Azel immediately walked over to him. He noticed that he was a little emotionally unstable and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did your teacher say anything to you?"
Shi Nian shook her head, her soft voice lowered, "I'm fine?"
But he didn't look like nothing had happened. His eyebrows were furrowed and there was worry in his eyes.
Shi Nian didn't want to say more, and Azel didn't press her. He returned the hydrangea and Carles to the other party and agreed to Kanate's embarrassing proposal.
The two of them put on their lion costumes again. The lion came in front of Shi Nian, staring at him with its big, blinking eyes, and tilted its head cutely.
Shi Nian chuckled, and when he reached out his hand, the lion lowered its head and let him pet it obediently.
Shi Nian knew that Azel was trying to cheer him up, so he hugged the lion's big head with emotion and said, "Thank you, brother."
Azel let the lion gently nuzzle Shi Nian's shoulder, "Come on, it's time to pack up and go home."
So this scene appeared on the spacious avenue of West College.
The little Omega holding a hydrangea walked in front, and a fake lion followed behind him. The Omega turned around from time to time and teased the lion with the hydrangea. The lion was very considerate and tried to pick up the hydrangea in his hand.
The students watching looked at them in amazement and only came to their senses after they walked away.
"That's a fake lion, right? It looks really interesting. Is it some new cosplay? Why haven't I seen it at comic conventions?"
"I saw this kind of lion in the Ancient Culture Society. I heard it was used for good luck during the New Year."
"Hey, that's Shi Nian, right? He actually joined the Ancient Culture Club? And who are those two people in the lion group?"
"Hahahaha, you never thought it would be Ezel Zeins and Kanat Sid."
"Holy crap! Has the world been turned upside down?!"
"Huh? How did the guard get past there?"
Shi Nian looked at the guard walking towards her, and the experience of him throwing away her barbecue last time came to her mind. She couldn't help but take two steps back, "Is there something wrong?"
The bionic guard's red eyes flickered as he pulled out a larger-than-life leash, looped it around the lion's neck, and sternly warned, "No pets allowed on campus."
Shi Nian: "..."
Azel and Kanat: "..."
The silence of several people could not make the android feel the same way. Ezel and Kanat were so shocked that they forgot to take off their lion costumes and stared at the android in a daze.
Shi Nian was tongue-tied. "This? This? This? It's not my pet. You've made a mistake."
The guard scanned the "lion" again, and found only large carnivores that matched it in the database. He took back the leash and replaced it with an iron chain to put on the lion's head.
"For your own safety and the safety of others, please do not loosen the chains."
The bionic man handed one end of the chain to Shi Nian, then turned and left indifferently.
Shi Nian: "..."
