Zhang Chen chickened out and took a bamboo mat out of the wardrobe. However, there wasn't much space on the floor, so he simply placed it on the windowsill and slept next to the window.
"The lights are off." Zhang Chen knocked on the wall.
Bai Nuoyan remained silent, but then turned over again, which could be interpreted as agreement.
Even the cicadas in the dilapidated neighborhood seemed to be resting, making the summer night exceptionally quiet.
In a daze, Zhang Chen felt someone hug him from behind.
"When I was little, I was always sick. There was someone who would often feed me lots and lots of medicine," the girl behind me whispered.
“He’s heartless. He said he would dump all the medicine residue on the road so that passersby could take away my pain.”
“I called him a bastard and wouldn’t allow him to transfer his illness to others. I cursed him for many years until my illness gradually got better.”
"I just realized that he only dumped the dregs of the medicine on the path leading to the backyard, a path that he walked alone every day."
The girl hugged him even tighter.
“From that day on, I hated him. I knew he was a hopeless idiot.”
Zhang Chen tried to hold her hand, but the girl dodged away and instead placed her hand on his, holding it tightly.
That's how cats are; their paws can only stay on top.
He decided to hold the girl's hand and stay up all night.
Zhang Chen looked out the window, waiting for the sky to lighten. The weather was a bit cool, but her body temperature was very high.
So this is what it feels like to be hated.
It's like he walked around the whole school again and again, just to catch another glimpse of the girl he loved.
Then, they missed each other at close range.
"Hu~~"
Time always seems to fly by when you're sleepless.
...
In the blink of an eye, more than a week has passed since that night of embracing.
In the early morning, Zhang Chen nudged Bai Nuoyan, who was sleeping soundly. This cat had been sleeping in his bed every day since she entered immortal mode.
"Wake up! Two weeks of military training have already ended. You still have to attend 8 AM once, right?"
"I'm pregnant, so I don't need to go to class." Bai Nuoyan turned over and continued sleeping.
"I'm still a father, so theoretically I don't need to go to class, but I still have to take exams. Aren't you afraid of failing?"
"I'm the top scorer in the college entrance exam." Bai Nuoyan kicked him. "Get out of here and leave me alone, my back is killing me!"
"..."
Zhang Chen had no choice but to pack up and leave, carrying a thick notebook with him, which he would flip through from time to time, even while rushing to leave in the morning.
The above is his recent research on the "bitter love tree".
During this time, no matter how he asked Li Yinuo and Tushan Hansu, neither of them was willing to tell him. He could only rely on himself to inquire from various monsters.
He almost conceived an egg with Lin Yinmeng in exchange for as much information as possible.
In conclusion, he discovered that monsters knew very little about these academic subjects, far less than humans had.
I need to find someone knowledgeable... Shen Nianxi, I guess... I've been avoiding him lately, and he even blocked me on QQ.
Could it be that I hurt her last time...?
"Excuse me, are you from the music video...?"
As soon as he arrived at the school gate, a girl tried to chat him up, but Zhang Chen's mind was filled with nothing but female monsters, female monsters, female monsters... *sigh*
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in humans," he politely declined.
"You know about monsters too?" the girl asked in surprise.
Zhang Chen paused.
Chapter 63 The Persistent Girl
"So you knew all along."
Seeing Zhang Chen's reaction, the girl smiled confidently and extended her small hand to him:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Rou. I am a student in the second class of the archaeology major in the same year as you. I ranked third in the college entrance examination among the freshmen of Nanjing University. However, I think the reason why I only ranked third is because the top two were not human. It is normal that I cannot pass the exam for non-human creatures."
"Also, my dormitory building is Building 2, Room 323, bed number 1. I like to sleep naked. My height is 1.65 meters, and my weight, bust, waist, and hip measurements, as well as my ID number, are..."
"Wait a minute." Zhang Chen looked at the extremely pretty and quiet girl in front of him, who had spoken so rudely, "Forget about your measurements, you don't need to give me your ID card, do you?"
"Oh, because I want to show you my sincerity. I think that only if I am sincere enough and reveal some of my private information will you be more accepting of me. I never lie."
Jiang Rou raised her embroidered eyebrows, her smile exuding positive energy, especially her bright, almost blinding eyes, which gave Zhang Chen the illusion of a female educated youth sent to the countryside in the 1940s or 50s.
Upon closer inspection, she is indeed a very pretty girl, with an oval face and shoulder-length black hair. Her dimples are very obvious when she smiles, yet she doesn't look petty.
She possesses the delicate and refined charm unique to girls from the South, yet it's hard to ignore the burning passion in her eyes.
She's very energetic. Compared to those girls who always post about being so-called independent women on Xiaohongshu, this girl with a sparkle in her eyes is much more pleasant to look at.
Uh... Although it was a little difficult to say anything upon meeting, Zhang Chen still gladly shook hands with her. Jiang Rou then smiled and said:
"So, classmate, would you like to exchange contact information? I think we'll have a lot in common. Don't worry, I have someone I like, and I don't have any romantic feelings for you."
Zhang Chen paused slightly, and upon hearing the tone of her voice, he suddenly remembered the girl's background.
The freshmen officially started classes yesterday. In the first professional class, when the topic of paleontology was being covered, Ms. Jiang Rou argued with the professor for the entire class. The professor couldn't win the argument, and she was so angry that he had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance and almost didn't recover.
Li Yu mentioned this to him many times, always lamenting that although Jiang Rou was beautiful, she wasn't very bright.
But Li Yu still wanted to give it a try; after all, she was a top beauty.
As a result, when Li Yu tried to strike up a conversation with Jiang Rou, she asked him: "Do you think the world you see is real? Can you fall in love with someone who has lived for thousands of years?"
Li Yu was completely dumbfounded and blurted out: "Do you think I still have any goodwill towards you? You've lived for over a thousand years, are you sure you're not a zombie?"
Because of this answer, Jiang Rou rejected Li Yu's advances and replied, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."
So this is the person right in front of me.
Zhang Chen took the day off yesterday to stay home and pet his cat, while also running his matchmaking business. He missed out on this juicy gossip.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen took out his phone, intending to add someone on WeChat or something, but saw Jiang Rou take out an old-fashioned flip phone from her bag, so thick it could be used as a brick.
"..."
It's too pure.
"Let me write down your phone number," Jiang Rou said, struggling to hold the phone. "What should I call you?"
"Zhang Chen." Zhang Chen gave him his phone number. "I'll contact you when I have time."
“Hmm… classmate, I don’t think we need to hold back. I want to know how much you know about monsters?” Jiang Rou stared straight at him again, as if looking at a rare treasure.
Zhang Chen hesitated, then remembered that Jiang Rou had recognized him after watching the music video.
However, he didn't show his face in the music video; only his neck and below were visible.
The music video was released just two days ago. Although it received a huge response and trended on social media, Zhang Chen hasn't been recognized at school in the past two days...
After all, compared to a background male lead who doesn't even show his face, Lin Yinmeng, who is making her first appearance in a music video, will attract more attention and is more worthy of hype.
He himself told the public that he was just an extra.
How did Jiang Rou recognize him?
Let's leave it at that for now and get to the bottom of things before we delve deeper.
"I'm in a hurry to get to class now, let's talk about it later."
Jiang Rou was taken aback. No man had ever been so cold to her before; they usually pretended to know about monsters just to have something to talk about...
She didn't resent Zhang Chen's attitude; she was just a little uncomfortable and afraid that Zhang Chen would mistake her for some kind of pyramid scheme.
Even if Zhang Chen doesn't know anything about monsters, he has been in contact with Lin Yinmeng and Li Yinuo, so there must be something about him worth studying!
Seeing that Zhang Chen turned to leave without waiting for her to say anything, the pretty young girl quickly chased after him:
"Wait, classmate, I'm serious! I can tell you everything I've ever done about monsters! I even saw a real monster a few days ago!"
"Believe me, I really saw a rat draped in an iced tea plastic bag! It was as fat as a basketball! I even treated it to several cases of iced tea... I have photos, take a look..."
Zhang Chen couldn't hold back any longer. No wonder there was so much iced tea in the house a few days ago; he had thought the rat demons had gone to rob it.
The fat rat explained to him that a kind JK (high school girl) had offered it a drink. Zhang Chen thought it was nonsense. Normal girls would be terrified of rats, so why would she offer it iced tea?
He also asked the calico cat to find out which convenience store these dead rats had robbed, so he could go and compensate the owner.
I've been searching for several days but haven't found anything.
So it turns out there really are kind-hearted high school girls feeding them.
"A crow! Oh right, there's a crow! It happened a couple of weeks ago. A lot of birds came to Nanjing University those days, and I took a picture of a crow that was bigger than an albatross! There were people on it! Look, classmate, this isn't a photoshopped picture... it's just that my phone's resolution is low."
"Oh, by the way, are you going to biology class too? We're in the same major, can we go together?"
"Do you still think I'm lying...? I... can I pay you the money? Hmm... I still have tens of thousands of dollars in pocket money, I can give it all to you!"
She's quite wealthy.
Zhang Chen stopped, wanting to explain to the other party that it wasn't that he didn't believe them...
However, there are too many suspicious points surrounding Jiang Rou. Normally, if an ordinary person comes into contact with a monster, their memory would be erased by the company...
How come Jiang Rou is alright?
He needs to at least confirm Jiang Rou's background first.
Coincidentally, just as he turned around, he saw Jiang Rou being entangled by another boy... Hmm? Probably her boyfriend.
After lamenting for Li Yu's yet another failed unrequited love, Zhang Chen walked towards the classroom.
Although he was assigned to archaeology, a dreaded major that nobody wanted, Zhang Chen still found it quite interesting.
He himself is an ancient person.
