Chapter 175 The First Group Notice
Nina's suggestion was reasonable. Although everyone was reluctant, they also understood that she was not deliberately making things difficult for them.
Leo was the first to lose control, his eyes red with anxiety: "We can take Fanxing with us to run the announcement!"
"No," Nina said firmly. "Not to mention the long journey would hurt the kitten, the noisy recording environment alone would be enough to take its toll."
She looked around at everyone, "If he gets frightened and runs away, who among you can handle it?"
This assumption silenced everyone.
"Sister Nina," Gu Qi, as the team leader, broke the silence at the right time, "Can you give us some time to discuss this?"
I hope you can give them some time to think it over carefully.
When everyone is in high spirits, if they suddenly say they want to send him away, they will definitely not be willing to do so.
Nina nodded and followed them, and was about to go forward to take the box containing the stars away.
Bai Lang suddenly said, "You can foster him at my house." He met everyone's surprised gazes, his tone as calm as if discussing the weather. "My home is in Yun City, and my mother is home most of the time, so he shouldn't lack company. We can bring him back when we're at the villa, and send him back when we're out on business."
Xie Qingyu suddenly raised his head, which had been slightly lowered since his agent suggested sending Fanxing away, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Bai Lang's eyes met his briefly, and he nodded imperceptibly, as if making a silent promise.
Nina looked at Bai Tang scrutinizingly: "Are you sure your family can accept this?"
"I've already contacted her." Bai Lang showed his phone screen, which displayed the message he had just received. "She welcomes me very much."
Gu Zheng immediately chimed in: "And when our personal schedules are not busy, we can take turns coming back to look after him."
He smiled and pointed at the little furry ball in the cardboard box that was picking at Xie Qingyu's sleeves. "After all, she is already 'Xie Fanxing'."
Fanxing meowed at the right time, and her round eyes moved around among the crowd, as if participating in the discussion about her own destiny.
Nina looked at seven pairs of expectant eyes and finally said, "Okay."
She turned to Bai Tang and said, "Confirm the details with your mother as soon as possible." Then she reminded him, "Don't forget that you still have to decorate the villa today."
Before leaving, she deliberately glanced at Fanxing, who had huddled in the corner because of her proximity, and her tone softened unconsciously: "Little one, be a good boy and do the check-up."
The moment the cardboard box was taken away, Xie Qingyu's fingers trembled slightly, as if he wanted to keep it but was forcing himself to restrain himself.
Bai Lang calmly took a half step closer and touched his arm with his shoulder subtly.
Although they are separated temporarily, everyone knows in their hearts that this "little star" that accidentally broke into their lives is destined to become the most special bond of this group.
After everything about Fanxing was arranged, everyone finally started to decorate the villa.
In this age of online shopping, who wants to brave the scorching sun to go to a furniture store? Why not do something that can be done with just a few clicks?
Gu Qie divided the activity funds given by the agent into seven equal parts. Everyone could use their share to make purchases freely. If there was any excess, they could refund it and make up for the shortfall themselves!
The members who had complained about being treated as free labor last night were now enthusiastically selecting. As expected, with people, the "law of true fragrance" comes late but nevertheless.
Xie Qingyu's approach was mainly pragmatic. He felt that the original furniture in the villa was of high quality and only needed to be replaced with fabric sets and curtains.
With a tap of his finger on the screen, he quickly selected several plain and unpatterned styles according to his own aesthetic taste.
Although it is a bit disappointing that you cannot confirm the physical texture of the item when shopping online, considering that today is a day off, it is better not to go out if possible.
After selecting the major items, he also added some creative stickers and unique refrigerator magnets. These little ideas might bring unexpected finishing touches.
I looked up and around, and found that other members were still struggling to make a choice.
In order to keep in step, Xie Qingyu had to open the shopping page again and browse it casually.
Somehow, my finger slipped and I accidentally entered the pet supplies area.
He blinked, and pictures of products flashed across the screen: cat climbing frames that can be placed in the corner of the wall, soft cat beds that can be placed in the bedroom, cat toys in various cute shapes... Each one is eye-catching.
The "Add to Cart" button was clicked one after another, and the pet supplies in the shopping cart soon piled up into a small mountain.
Xie Qingyu suddenly remembered that these were for Fanxing, so how could they be spent at public expense?
He quickly switched to his personal account. The debut bonus from "Road to Stardom" had arrived recently, so it should be enough...
So, the little money he hadn't even had time to warm up flew away. Fortunately, the bonus was quite large, so he didn't return to poverty.
In this way, even Wei Liangchen, who was the most hesitant, had finished his selection, but Xie Qingyu was still busy choosing.
The six people looked at each other and moved closer calmly. Xie Qingyu, who was usually the most perceptive person, didn't even notice anything.
There is a problem!
Six heads came closer at the same time, and saw that Xie Qingyu's mobile phone screen prominently displayed the details page of a cat winter coat.
His slender fingers were sliding repeatedly to check the material description, and when he encountered unfamiliar professional terms, he would switch out to search.
"Cute cat clothes, extra small, warm and thickened, plush and cotton-padded, soft and skin-friendly, no linting?!" Wei Liangchen couldn't help but read it out loud, with an incredulous look on his face, "My benefactor, it's the hottest time of the year now, and you bought winter clothes for Fanxing?"
Xie Qingyu was startled to realize that she was being watched. She hurriedly locked the screen, her ears slightly red. "I've already bought the summer vest."
His voice gradually faded. Having already finished shopping for the current season's items, he couldn't help but slink over to the winter clothing section, where he was so captivated by the miniature clothes that he couldn't move.
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and laughed. He felt that Xie Qingyu's clever little head had been clouded since she got the cat. He teased, "By the time winter comes, Fanxing will probably be unable to wear such small clothes."
He made an exaggerated gesture and said, "Cats grow very fast. If they get enough nutrition, they can double in size in three months."
The other five people nodded in tacit understanding, and Leo even took out his mobile phone to show the growth comparison chart of his cat as evidence.
Xie Qingyu was suddenly speechless, staring at the exquisite and compact winter clothes in his shopping cart. Only then did he realize that he had chosen the size entirely according to Fanxing's current body shape.
Thinking about the possibility that the little one might not even be able to fit his head into these clothes in the future, he couldn't help but sigh.
Since the items we purchased were all from stores in the same city, the courier delivered the goods at an astonishing speed.
Soon, the center of the living room was filled with all kinds of packages.
Xie Qingyu looked at the small pile in front of him, then at the mountains of "rare treasures" around him, and suddenly felt a headache.
He finally understood why he had chosen the fastest just now. It turned out that the others were not choosing decoration materials at all, but were embarking on a personal aesthetic adventure.
"Aren't we buying... materials for the decoration?" Xie Qingyu struggled to organize his words, drawing a circle in the air with his fingers. "Why... these?"
He really couldn't find the right words to describe these "bizarre" objects before him.
As the team leader, Gu Qi was the first to stand up and "uphold justice."
He pointed at the pile of strangely shaped potted plants, twisted and deformed cups, and dolls with ferocious expressions in front of Wei Liangchen, and said bitterly, "Why did you buy so much performance art? We're here to live, not to hold a contemporary art exhibition!"
Wei Liangchen confidently held up a potted plant shaped like an alien creature, its glaze gleaming an eerie green under the light. "This is called postmodern deconstructionism! It fits the tone of our team perfectly!"
"Twist your head!" Gu Qi held his forehead, "Aren't you afraid of having nightmares when you wake up at night and see these?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Liangchen immediately became displeased. He pointed at the row of obscure abstract frames beside Gu Qi and raised his voice abruptly: "Then why did you buy so many incomprehensible paintings? They look like an art gallery, how could anyone understand them?"
Gu Qiong coughed lightly twice, brushed his fingertips across the edge of the frame, and emphasized righteously: "This is to improve everyone's artistic cultivation, and besides..."
He didn't expect that except for Xie Qingyu, these people had such strange ways of thinking. He thought that his purchase was just a finishing touch, but he didn't expect that they all made their choices with the same idea as him, and no one was buying serious things.
Wei Liangchen didn't bother to argue, and instead pointed at the bright red couplets and lanterns in front of Ding Zai, the satin surface gleaming brilliantly under the light: "Then why don't you talk about him?!"
After saying that, he rushed to Leo again, and suddenly broke the other's attempt to hide his posture, revealing the fluorescent decorative lights and a full set of game equipment hidden behind him: "And these blinding lights! And-"
He pointed at the limited edition game console with gritted teeth, "This loser puppy!"
Finally, his eyes fell on You Jinzhao's steampunk-style wall clock. The brass gears made clicking sounds as the machine operated, and the pointers were shaped like two crossed daggers.
He suddenly felt sad and angry and pointed at You Jinzhao, whose aesthetic taste was not much different from his, "And him!!!"
Finally, Wei Liangchen's eyes swept across Bai Lang's front, looking at the slightly simple Japanese storage box and the normal small pendant. He was chilled by Bai Lang's expressionless face and ultimately did not drag him down.
"Why are you targeting me only?"
Wei Liangchen's voice was trembling with grievance, and he pointed at the other three people one by one, "Isn't what they bought outrageous?"
Xie Qingyu rubbed his brows and suddenly felt that the current 'Grandma's Flowered Jacket' style was also quite good, at least the color tone was unified.
Xie Qingyu looked at the chaotic scene before him and sighed helplessly: "Let's pick and load it first."
He finally understood that this group of people's aesthetic taste was hopeless. Instead of choosing again, he might as well make do with what he had.
Captain Gu Qi hadn't made a good start, so he felt relieved when Xie Qingyu took the initiative to speak up. Let's see how they can turn the tide!
The other members didn't have any objections, but Wei Liangchen was still sulking. He deliberately turned his back to Gu Qiong to organize his artworks, muttering something like "taking revenge on personal gain".
Of course, quarrels after aesthetic clashes are inevitable.
"Wei Liangchen! Move that piece of 'unspeakable' stuff out of the kitchen!" Ding Zai roared, unable to bear it any longer. "Can't you put it on the windowsill?"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Wei Liangchen protected his shit-yellow succulent potted plant like a treasure. "This is a rare species and can't be exposed to direct sunlight!"
Elsewhere, Leo was holding a bucket of paint and looking around blankly: "Who bought this wall paint? Who wants to paint the wall?"
"It's not Chinese New Year, why are you hanging lanterns?" Gu Zheng looked at Ding Zai hanging a red lantern in the middle of the living room with a headache. "Besides, shouldn't lanterns be hung at the door?"
"Bang!" There was a loud noise. You Jinzhao was swinging a hammer to nail his steampunk wall clock to the wall, causing the wall to fall down.
"We caught a puppy playing games secretly!" Ding appeared behind Leo at some point, scaring Leo so much that his hands trembled and the game console almost fell to the ground.
“I just want to take it apart and see!!!”
"This storage rack is installed upside down." Bai Lang looked at the crooked rack without changing his expression.
“………”
Xie Qingyu changed the sofa cover and looked around the increasingly chaotic living room, unable to help but fall into deep thought:
Where did the real estate agent get the confidence to let them decorate the house themselves?
No matter what your original plans were, you're probably going to be greatly disappointed now.
When the last decoration was put back in place and the extra materials were stuffed into the storage room, everyone collapsed on the new sofa cover like a deflated ball.
"My benefactor, your choice of sofa cover is really bad~" Wei Liangchen rubbed his face against the soft fabric, his voice drawn out due to fatigue, "Next time, I should let you arrange all the funds!"
Indeed, the items purchased by Xie Qingyu this time are not only of high quality, but also of simple and elegant design, which also effectively neutralizes the visual impact of other people's "artistic creations".
"Agree!!!" Five voices rang out in unison, and five thumbs pointed in the direction of Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu curled the corners of his mouth helplessly. So, this means he has been given another long-term purchasing job?
“Ding Dong——”
The sudden ringing of a cell phone alert startled everyone.
When I opened the screen, the email from my agent Xuzhou was clearly visible.
After seeing the content, everyone woke up instantly. Nina had just reminded them that this was the first group announcement after they formed the group, and it came so suddenly!
