Chapter 70 Returning from Holiday

Where did you go for the National Day holiday?

"I went to see the beach, what about you?"

"It's great to see the sea. My family took me to the capital of the next province."

"That's not bad either. I've always wanted to go, but I never had the chance."

"Even if you go, it'll be just so-so, let me tell you..."

With the National Day holiday over, the most discussed topic is naturally where people went and shared their interesting experiences.

"Hey, Li Mubai, where did you go for National Day?" Zhang Chun asked.

"library."

"The library? The provincial library? I heard it's been renovated and looks great for taking pictures." Zhang Chun seemed to have found some common ground.

"No, the city library."

Where is the city library?

"Qingyun Road".

"Oh, okay."

It's a library I've never been to before.

A figure hurriedly sat down next to Li Mubai and took off his schoolbag.

Who are you? Why are you sitting in Chen Qiuhe's seat?

"What are you looking at?"

It turned out to be Chen Qiuhe herself; I almost mistook her for someone wearing glasses.

"Qiuhe, why are you wearing glasses?" Zhang Chun asked, echoing everyone's thoughts.

"I'm a little nearsighted, so I went to get new glasses during the holiday."

Your words are like a revelation; wearing glasses means you're nearsighted.

"He was playing on his phone," Li Mubai guessed.

"You're the one playing on your phone!" Although it was true, Chen Qiuhe refused to admit it.

Chen Qiuhe is wearing large black-framed glasses, which make her face look smaller and quite cute.

"Stop looking." Chen Qiuhe felt embarrassed by his gaze.

What is your prescription?

Li Mubai asked, he was thinking about whether he should also get a pair of glasses, as reading is quite taxing on the eyes.

"Not high, around 200 degrees."

That's not high at all; Feng Wanli's was 500 degrees, and some people even wore thick glasses.

"Why don't you try them on?" Chen Qiuhe asked with a grin after taking off her glasses.

"No, I get dizzy in my eyes."

This was a lie; in reality, he felt he should keep some distance from Chen Qiuhe.

Jiao Yong seems to have feelings for Chen Qiuhe, but I don't know their situation, and it's not appropriate to ask.

"Haki White, are you going to feed the stray cats later?" Chen Qiuhe wrote on the note.

Hmm—perhaps I could take this opportunity to ask?

If there is a real possibility of a relationship developing between the two, then he is unwilling to become a so-called male best friend.

"go."

The National Day holiday has passed and the weather is getting cooler. Li Mubai zipped up his school uniform jacket. He prefers long sleeves to short sleeves, as they can cover his body. He would only wear short sleeves if it was unbearably hot.

"Let's go!" Chen Qiuhe also put on her coat.

After confirming that no one had followed them or seen them, he and Chen Qiuhe went around to the back of the stadium, wondering if Hakimi was still there after a holiday.

Li Mubai took out the jar and shook it, making a sound.

"Meow."

Her voice was hoarse, and a splash of yellow emerged from the grass. Chen Qiuhe quickly hopped behind Li Mubai.

Old man, you're still alive! You're not dead!

He's probably not dead yet, but he's almost dead. He's filthy and emaciated. If only he had a bowl, he could pour a pile of grain into it.

"I brought a bowl." Chen Qiuhe took a bowl out of her pocket and handed it to him; it was a yellow rat bowl.

Thanks.

Li Mubai placed the bowl in a secluded spot, where it could also be sheltered from the rain, and poured all the grain into it.

"It's so dirty, why doesn't it take a bath?"

Li Mubai turned to look at Chen Qiuhe, his words tantamount to saying, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Chen Qiuhe asked, puzzled.

"Cats are actually very clean, but there are exceptions. Cats that are not fed enough or live in garbage dumps will be unclean."

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing the orange cat begin to devour its food, he began to think about how to start the conversation.

"List…"

Chen Qiuhe suddenly grabbed his wrist and hid behind the flower bed. Luckily, he was wearing long sleeves, otherwise he would have been dirty.

"What's wrong?"

"Shh—" Chen Qiuhe made a shushing gesture.

Is someone coming?

Sure enough, very light footsteps approached. Chen Qiuhe, you have super hearing!

However, hiding is not a good solution. If you get caught, you won't be able to defend yourself. It's better to just be honest from the beginning. It's not a big deal, it's just feeding a stray cat.

As the footsteps drew closer, Li Mubai's heart leaped into his throat. If he were caught, he would be truly finished.

"Why is there a cat? And a bowl?"

It was clearly the teacher's voice; he left after saying just one sentence.

Li Mubai pulled his hand away; the little girl was so strong.

They squatted for another two minutes, making sure the teacher was far away, before they came out.

"No, are you Superman?" That was Li Mubai's first sentence.

"No, you were just thinking about something, so you weren't paying attention."

That seems true. It's quite quiet here; you can hear almost anything that makes a sound.

"It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but hiding like that just shows a guilty conscience, doesn't it?"

"Well, I was nervous, it was an unconscious reaction." The pupils behind the glasses looked away guiltily.

Sigh, after the teacher interfered, Li Mubai lost all interest in asking questions.

"Hehe, want some cat treats?" Chen Qiuhe asked.

"Will I feed you?"

"Okay, I've mentally prepared myself."

Li Mubai took a cat treat out of his pocket and gave it to her, saying, "Be careful, keep your hands a certain distance from it, or it might scratch you."

"Understood, Aunt Li."

"What did you call me?"

"Mother Li".

Wa... Wa, junior.

That's unbelievable! How can anyone like someone like that?

Chen Qiuhe tore open the cat treat, and the orange cat immediately came over.

"Meow."

Fortunately, this time it didn't try to climb onto Chen Qiuhe's lap.

Chen Qiuhe squeezed very quickly, and some of it got stuck on Mimi's nose, but it's okay, it will lick it clean itself.

"It's over."

"Do you want one more?"

"No, no."
