Chapter 72 The rainstorm has done many evil things, Shi Can
At the end of June, the handover of the work of the head of the Spiritual Master's Mansion was completely completed, and the new head named Kang Huazong was officially announced to take office.
Kang Huazong is a sixty-year-old man with a noble family background, but the Kang family behind him is very honest, so honest that they have almost no presence.
"We still have to be careful. No matter how insignificant they are, they are still a noble family. Born a tiger, you won't become a pet kitten just because you're not fierce enough."
Shican used a sprinkler to water his own succulents.
"You've eaten so many snacks, are you going to eat dinner later?"
Lin Zhuyue sat in the porch, eating a bagel. Shican had baked it yesterday, and it was covered in exquisite diamond patterns. Cutting the bagel horizontally and filling it with various cheese flavors made it a delicious dessert, perfect with coffee.
Lin Zhuyue said: "Snacks and main meals are in two different stomachs."
Baguette used his claws to pry open the screen door and, with light cat steps, sneaked up to Lin Zhuyue's side and back. He buried half his head in the cup, wanting to taste Lin Zhuyue's coffee.
Shi Can called out in a stern tone, “Shi Baguette!”
Baguette retracted his head, folded his arms and lay down with a wronged look on his face.
Shi Chan put down the shower head, walked to the porch, picked up the baguette, and threw it back inside the screen door.
"Really? He usually refuses to drink water properly, won't drink goat milk, and can't be tricked into giving him water. But he's very interested in drinks in people's cups.
Shi Can sat down next to Lin Zhuyue and picked up the bagel.
"Is that little girl from Linxi City coming to Tiancheng?"
Lin Zhuyue nodded and said:
"I'll go to the island with her mother at noon tomorrow."
An Ning's recovery is going pretty well. She was discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday. She has been packing up at home for the past two days and will set off for Tiancheng tomorrow.
Because of the brain's self-protection mechanism, An Ning does not remember jumping off the building. Even if she tries to recall the reasons that led to her jumping off the building, her memory is vague.
Shi Chan thinks this is a good thing.
Firstly, An Ning doesn't have to continue suffering. Secondly, An Ning doesn't remember the process of jumping off the building, nor will she remember that Lin Zhuyue used the Ukiyo-e scroll to save her, so Lin Zhuyue's spiritual weapon will not be exposed.
"Meow~"
Baguette had been pulling at the screen door vigorously.
Shi Chan let it out, held it in his arms, and asked:
"Kitten, you want a kiss, right? Suck, whose kitten is this? You stinky kitten, you need a bath."
Baguette raised his cat paw and pressed the soft pad against Shichan's mouth.
——No more kissing!
However, the more the kitten resisted, the more excited the human became. After a while, the baguette was kissed until his eyes were crossed. He lay motionless in Shichan's arms, as if he had been kissed silly.
Lin Zhuyue reached out to pinch the baguette's paw, and commented on Shi Can's cat-sucking performance:
"You're so perverted."
Shi Can countered, "You're usually no less capable than me."
Lunch was prepared by the chef in Shican's family. It was a pot of pork belly cut into pieces as thick as the index finger, stewed until soft. There were also fried tiger skins and eggs and green peppers cooked in the casserole with the pork belly. It looked very appetizing.
It actually goes well with rice.
The pork belly had been simmered in the pot for two and a half hours, becoming so tender that the fat melted in the mouth. Lin Zhuyue crushed the fat with a spoon, mixed it into a bowl of rice, and poured the broth over it. It simply finished two bowls of rice.
Shi Can was very restrained in eating the lean meat and asked the chef to prepare a plate of shredded squash for him.
He had recently been accompanying Lin Zhuyue to eat all kinds of delicious food and even make desserts. He was very happy while eating, but afterward, he felt only a full sense of guilt.
At night, he would dream that his eight-pack abs had shrunk to one. In his dream, Lin Zhuyue sat on him, groping his abs with a lecherous look, but immediately after her hand touched them, her face became expressionless and she got up and walked away. Shi Can got up and chased her, but the Lin Zhuyue in his dream was different from the real one. She wasn't a weakling who couldn't even run 3,000 meters, so he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried.
Oh my god, what kind of nightmare is this!?
"Ye Yangjia invited Wen Miyan and me to have afternoon tea."
Lin Zhuyue turned on the phone screen, replied to the message, and asked,
"Are you going? But he said he definitely can't get you an appointment."
"I'm going to the training gym."
Shi Chan pointed to the box on the table and said,
"There are still a lot of bagels. I'll mix the cheese filling and put it in later. You can take them over."
Lin Zhuyue made a request: "Add more blueberries."
She doesn’t like to eat blueberries in their fruit form, but she is very fond of various blueberry products. Shican’s blueberry buns and blueberry cheese are her favorites.
The summer weather is like a child's face.
Lin Zhuyue was enjoying afternoon tea in the courtyard of Ye Yangjia's house when a heavy rain started pouring down.
"Holy crap! The sun's still out!"
Ye Yangjia pulled the table to hide under the eaves.
"Are you okay? I'll ask someone to bring a towel."
Lin Zhuyue raised his hand and pulled down the Ukiyo-e scroll that suddenly appeared to block the rain from above his head, and wrung out the water on it.
When being twisted, the Ukiyo-e scroll stretched out and tried to escape, but was held tightly by Lin Zhuyue. When Lin Zhuyue let go, it directly changed into golden petals and returned to Lin Zhuyue's body.
"I always feel that this Lingwu is quite smart."
Wen Miyan sat in the corridor and said,
"I want a towel. Give me a thicker one."
After getting the towel, Lin Zhuyue helped Wen Miyan dry her hair. Wen Miyan's hair was well-maintained, long and curly, so Lin Zhuyue was particularly careful when drying it. After drying it almost completely, Wen Miyan borrowed a hair dryer from Ye Yangjia and dried her hair thoroughly.
After drying our hair, we all sat together on the porch, waiting for the rain to stop. But the rain kept falling, and after nearly two hours, there was no sign of it stopping.
Lin Zhuyue didn't wait for the rain to stop, but waited for Shi Can.
Shi Can was holding a violet umbrella. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a white cotton T-shirt underneath and a pair of white sweatpants with rolled-up legs. Except for his slightly wet trouser legs and shoes, he looked very clean.
He was not wearing this when he went out. He probably changed his clothes when he was changing in the training hall.
Shi Can said to Lin Zhuyue:
"Let's go home. The car is parked outside."
Shi Can looked at Wen Miyan again: "Are you leaving or not?"
His home is very close to Wen Miyan's home. He only took his sweetheart with him when he drove home, but not Wen Miyan, who was both his childhood friend and his sweetheart's best friend. It seemed a bit deliberate and mean, and Lin Zhuyue would definitely dislike him.
Wen Miyan didn't want to join in the fun and waved her hand:
"I've already called the driver, get out of here."
Shi Can came closer with an umbrella. Lin Zhuyue came from the corridor and went under Shi Can's umbrella. She stood next to him and they walked out together holding an umbrella.
Shi Can helped her to the back seat before getting into the driver's seat and starting the car.
There was an aviation box in the back row. Xiaoyu stretched out his short cat claws from the box and picked at the lock of the aviation box.
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Did you go to my dormitory?"
"Well, the school announced that there will be a power outage in the dormitory tonight, so it's better for you to stay at my house."
Shi Can explained why he ran to Lin Zhuyue's dormitory to pack her cat and put it in his car. He added,
"Tomorrow, the boats between Tiancheng and Linhai City will not be able to pass. An Ning's arrival on the island will be postponed until the day after tomorrow. You don't have to pick her up tomorrow. You can get a good night's sleep and replenish your Yang energy that was drained away by the final exams."
Lin Zhuyue took the little fish out of the airline box and held it in his arms.
Shi Chan used to drive the cat without closing the cage, but Xiaoyu was too clingy and would jump into his arms regardless of whether he was driving or not. In order to drive safely, Shi Chan had no choice but to lock Xiaoyu in the cage.
Shi Chan asked, "Do you want a baguette to sleep with you tonight?"
"Yes."
Shi Can nodded and said, "Then Xiaoyu will sleep with me."
Lin Zhuyue asked greedily:
"Can't I sleep with both cats at once?"
Shi Can said helplessly: "You have to leave one for me."
Lin Zhuyue reluctantly agreed: "...Okay."
After the two of them discussed how to divide the cat, the car had already driven into Shican's garage.
There were a lot of things piled up in Shican's garage: a robot vacuum that hadn't been installed yet, leftover Christmas decorations, and freeze-dried food that had just been unpacked and checked for problems but hadn't been brought home yet...
As soon as Lin Zhuyue opened the car door, Xiaoyu jumped into the freeze-drying box.
Shi Chan locked the car, picked up the freeze-dried box containing the fish, left the garage and walked into the house. He changed his shoes, carried the freeze-dried box upstairs to the cat room, sat on the floor, and opened the freeze-dried food for the fish and the baguette that came over.
In the evening, Shi Can received the transcript from the Spiritual Master Academy.
Shi Chan gasped as he looked at the report card:
“…How come I got 98 points?”
Lin Zhuyue was overjoyed after reading the report card and said:
"I got full marks."
Shi Chan felt like the sky was falling.
Ye Yangjia sent out his perfect score report card to the group of three people, mocking them mercilessly:
[I told you that falling in love can lower one's IQ.]
Wen Miyan: [Indeed.]
Wen Miyan also posted her full-score test paper.
Ye Yangjia: [You should be the only one in our class who didn't get full marks, right? I'll go ask.]
Shi Chan: [Don’t ask! ]
Ten minutes later, the whole class knew that Shican had been deducted two points, and they all sent "congratulations", with the words "gloating" written between the lines.
Shi Chan was about to collapse.
Shi Can: [@Ye Yangjia, I haven't beaten you for a month, and you're itching for trouble. See you at the training hall tomorrow.]
Lin Zhuyue was still laughing until dinner time.
Shi Can stuffed the roasted plum meat into her mouth, trying hard to keep a straight face, wanting to scold her:
"Stop laughing, Lin Zhuyue. I tutored you all night long so you could get full marks, and you actually laughed at me in return. Do you have any conscience?"
Lin Zhuyue apologized and smiled:
"Sorry...haha...cough!"
She choked while laughing and covered her mouth with her hands while coughing.
Shi Can rolled his eyes at her, handed her a glass of watermelon juice, and viciously put the grilled meat on her plate.
When we finished eating, it was still raining.
Shi Can felt that the sewage system in his home seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure, so he put on a raincoat and moved his succulents home. If the yard was really flooded, these succulents would not survive.
The housekeeper and the chef were helping, and Lin Zhuyue also went into the water wearing rain boots. Shi Can had so many succulents that it took a long time to move them all in.
After finishing his work, Shican put on his pajamas, found ice balls and mulberry juice from the refrigerator, poured two glasses of ice juice, and carried the tray upstairs.
Lin Zhuyue was taking a shower. Shi Can put one of the glasses of juice on the table in the guest room, touched the baguette rolling on Lin Zhuyue's bed, and left the room.
Shi Chan returned to his room and opened his textbook.
Ye Yangjia popped up in the group of four people.
Ye Yangjia: [@Lin Zhuyue, is Young Master Shi secretly studying hard? ]
Lin Zhuyue: [I'll go take a look.]
Wen Miyan: [What's the point of studying? There's something wrong with your brain, so no matter how much you study, it's useless.]
Shi Chan: [? ]
Shican removed the administrator status of the other three people and started banning them from the group.
Shi Chan: [Shut up, everyone.]
Shi Chan: [Authority Dog's Smile.jpg]
That night, as expected, the city of Heaven was flooded. Outside, there was thunder and a strong wind that rattled the windows.
Lin Zhuyue was not afraid of thunder or wind, but she still got up in the middle of the night, holding the half-sleeping baguette, tiptoed through the corridor, and pushed open Shi Can's bedroom door.
Shi Chan was also asleep. He was patting Xiaoyu, who had curled up in his arms with his head buried in his arms.
"Oh, don't be afraid, it's okay."
The little fish is very afraid of particularly loud noises.
When Shi Can saw Lin Zhuyue, he asked:
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of thunder too?"
Without waiting for Lin Zhuyue to speak, he carried Xiaoyu to the side, leaving half of the bed empty, and said:
"There are pillows in the cupboard, and the pillowcases are all washed. There are also quilts. You can take whichever one you want."
Shi Chan picked up the remote control to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner.
He was afraid of heat, so the air conditioning in the room was always on high. He was afraid that Lin Zhuyue would catch a cold, so he turned up the temperature three degrees.
Lin Zhuyue did not explain that she was not afraid of thunder. She somehow took out a pillow, pillowcase and quilt from the cabinet and lay down on the half of the bed that Shican had moved out for her.
Shi Can's bed was large, two meters wide, easily enough for two people and two cats to lie down without appearing awkward. Lin Zhuyue held Xiaoyu in her arms and coaxed her carefully.
In the second half of the night, the rain subsided and the thunder became quieter.
Lin Zhuyue held Xiaoyu in her arms and gradually fell asleep.
She slept very peacefully that night, and when she woke up, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.
The rain had stopped and the sun was streaming in through the curtains.
Baguette and Xiaoyu were not in the room. It seemed that Shican had taken them out. These two cats would always be crying for food before 6 o'clock in the summer. With them in the room, Lin Zhuyue could not expect to have a good sleep.
Lin Zhuyue took another nap before slowly getting up.
Shi Chan was staying in the cat room with the cat.
Baguette was playing with a shuttlecock, while Xiaoyu was playing a little game of catching mice on Shichan's tablet. Xiaoyu looked silly and stupid at ordinary times, and was no smarter when playing the game. When a mouse came out, he would stand on the tablet and meow, using all his limbs, but he couldn't catch the mouse.
Lin Zhuyue walked into the cat room and said, "Good morning."
Shi Chan said to her, “It’s getting late, the sun is shining on your butt.”
Lin Zhuyue didn't know if it was her imagination, but Shi Can seemed to be in a very good mood. Just yesterday, he'd been feeling even gloomier than the weather outside because he'd gotten a 98 on the test. Lin Zhuyue really wanted to ask him what secret he had mastered to regulate his mood.
"Play with the cat for a while."
Shi Chan stood up and said,
"I'll bring you breakfast."
Lin Zhuyue didn't have to wait long before Shi Can came upstairs with a tray.
Breakfast was a sandwich: low-sugar toast with bacon, chicken, a fried egg, mango, lettuce, tomato, and crispy asparagus. It seemed a bit too rich, but Lin Zhuyue had had a sandwich like this before at Shican's house, and it tasted quite good. There was also thick soy milk blended in a blender, with sugar added, which tasted sweet.
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Are the succulents still alive?"
"I didn't see anyone dead, so it should be fine."
Shi Chan lowered the curtain in the cat room and said,
"When the water recedes, we'll put them all out."
Shi Chan searched for movies on his phone and asked:
"Want to watch Farewell My Concubine?"
Lin Zhuyue nodded: "Look."
The problem with eating a sandwich like this without paper or plastic wrap is that it leaks easily. As Lin Zhuyue was chewing, some chicken cutlet meat fell out. She was about to wipe it with paper to pick it up and throw it away when the baguette rushed over and ate the meat in one bite.
Shi Chan grabbed the baguette by the scruff of the neck and asked:
"Why are you so greedy? It's not like you're not full."
Baguette: "Meow~"
"Human food tastes better than cat food, doesn't it?"
Shi Can raised the baguette and said,
"Bad Cat."
Baguette: "Meow~"
Shi Chan held a baguette and argued back and forth.
When Fabao got bored, Shican put the cat down and turned his head to look at Lin Zhuyue, who was concentrating on watching a movie while chewing a sandwich. Lin Zhuyue's lips were stained with some oil, making them look shiny.
Shi Chan raised his hand and touched his lips.
When he read novels and watched movies, he would always have a question in his mind when he saw the male and female protagonists kissing passionately.
What's there to kiss?
Only after he fell in love did he understand how attractive a girl's mouth was. It looked soft and tender, and when he bit it, the color became brighter. Sometimes the lipstick would even have a chocolate scent, and every time Shi Chan smelled it, he wanted to take a sip.
Shi Can took out a piece of cream paper and touched it to Lin Zhuyue's lips.
Lin Zhuyue was startled: "What?"
Shi Can deliberately rubbed Lin Zhuyue's lips red with a tissue and said seriously:
"Wipe your mouth, there's oil."
Lin Zhuyue felt that Shi Can was ill and said angrily:
"I haven't finished eating yet? Why are you wiping my mouth?"
Lin Zhuyue watched movies all day, had snacks after breakfast, dinner after snacks, and cut fruits after dinner. Her mouth was never idle throughout the whole day.
The next day, Lin Zhuyue went to the dock to pick up An Ning who was about to arrive on the island.
Shi Can, Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia were all there. They easily divided up An Ning and Du Jicui's piles of luggage and followed the head of the elementary department to the dormitory.
Lin Zhuyue asked: "What is An Ning's class...?"
Wen Miyan replied, "The elementary school is in the second grade, class one. After the summer vacation, they will be promoted to the third grade."
Lin Zhuyue felt a little uncomfortable and said:
"...I always feel that transferring to Class 1 is not a good thing."
Shi Chan asked, "What's wrong with Class 1?"
Lin Zhuyue rolled his eyes at Shi Can, then pulled his suitcase to catch up with the head of the elementary department who was walking in front.
Shi Chan: “What does she mean?”
"Do I need to tell you what it means?"
Ye Yangjia patted Shi Can's shoulder and said,
"Of course she thinks you're bad. You're part of the 'hateful class.' Let me tell you, people hold grudges. Even in twenty years, she'll still remember what you said about her when she first joined the class."
Shi Can: “…”
An Ning was assigned to Dormitory Building No. 1. The dorms there were quite large, making them suitable for students like An Ning who were studying with their mothers. However, the facilities were old, and many appliances needed to be replaced before they could function properly.
The dormitory has been empty for a long time and needs cleaning.
Lin Zhuyue and his companions helped to tidy up the dormitory for a whole day before they got it ready for move-in. In the evening, Du Jicui planned to keep Lin Zhuyue and the others in the dormitory for a warm pot meal, so she cooked and prepared the food herself.
An Ning was humming a little tune while helping in the kitchen.
Du Jicui asked: "Are you happy now?"
"Well, it feels like entering Hogwarts. I feel very novel and excited."
An Ning beat the eggs with chopsticks and said,
"Actually, I've been looking forward to coming here, but every time I mentioned the spiritual master, you were always upset. It's really great that you accepted me studying here and came with me."
Du Jicui: “Really…”
Du Jicui looked at the food in the pot. After a while, she raised her hand and wiped away her tears.
An Ning turned her head and asked:
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't cry."
"fine."
Du Jicui wiped away her tears and said,
"I just feel like I'm really stupid and have done a lot of wrong things."
Du Jicui is a good cook and quickly prepared a table full of dishes.
"This is the school bully senior, and this is the humanoid self-propelled plug-in senior who is even stronger than the school bully senior."
Ye Yangjia hooked his left hand on Shi Can's shoulder, and politely raised his right palm upwards to introduce Lin Zhuyue to An Ning.
"If anyone bullies you in school in the future, just tell them and knock their teeth out."
Shi Can pushed Ye Yangjia's hand away and said:
“Don’t teach elementary students to solve problems with violence.”
"But every time you encountered problems in the elementary department, you always solved them with violence, right?"
Lin Zhuyue picked up a piece of pork ribs and said,
"I have heard something about you."
Because Shi Chan stood out so much, he was always picked on by the seniors who disliked him. He himself was arrogant and had a bad temper, and whenever he encountered such a situation, he would resort to violence. If you carefully counted his undefeated record, you can even trace it back to his time in the Enlightenment Club.
He had been fighting since sixth grade in the Enlightenment Department. He fought the most when he was in the elementary department, but fewer and fewer when he entered the advanced department. As he grew older, he became more and more difficult to mess with in the eyes of his seniors and juniors. It became a consensus not to mess with him.
"Why don't you listen to something good?"
Shi Can took away the ribs that Lin Zhuyue had just put into the bowl.
"When I was in elementary school, I helped an old man cross the street."
Wen Miyan asked, "Are you saying that Principal Liang didn't need to cross the road, but you forced him to cross?"
Lin Zhuyue snatched the ribs back:
"You've done so much evil, Shican."
