Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!
Chapter 94 Enemies meet on a narrow road
Huai'an was initially worried, fearing that some people might be unhappy or bothered by the appearance of the chubby orange cat, Duo Duo. However, when she discovered that everyone seemed to really like the chubby orange cat, her anxiety finally subsided, and she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.
Just then, Bai Mengqi and a girl walked hand in hand, closely following a tall, handsome male classmate.
This male student was exceptionally handsome and strikingly good-looking, especially his deep, bright eyes, which radiated a vibrant and energetic spirit. It seemed that the two of them were also looking around for an empty seat.
Bai Mengqi immediately noticed two empty seats next to Shi Huai'an, but when she saw Shi Huai'an sitting there, she decided to just pretend she didn't see him and find another place to sit.
However, she then noticed the orange cat on the table and whispered to the boy, "Sister Mingjun, Brother Mingxuan, this little brat bullied me, and she even hit me."
Han Mingxuan looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. She was obviously a size smaller than Bai Mengqi. The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, an oval face, and smooth, fair skin with a rosy glow. She wore two black braids, a white round-neck top made of polyester, and dark yellow overalls. She looked fresh and energetic, not like a feisty girl.
Shi Huai'an sat in a corner of the library, holding a book in his hands, reading intently.
Just then, two figures gradually approached him. It turned out to be Bai Mengqi and Han Mingjun, who walked up to Shi Huai'an with their heads held high.
Han Mingjun tapped Huai'an's desk, glaring at him, and said, "So you're the one who bullied Mengqi? I never thought there would be such rude people in university?"
"Which eye of yours saw me bullying her? Is it a sign of good manners to make baseless accusations without even knowing the facts?" Huai'an sneered.
"You..." Han Mingjun was so angry that she couldn't speak. Huai'an ignored her and continued reading.
Bai Mengqi crossed her arms, her eyes fixed on the orange cat, and said to Shi Huai'an with a defiant look, "The library has a clear rule that small animals are not allowed in. Don't you know that?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Huai'an could only slowly raise his head, looking at the arrogant Bai Mengqi with a bewildered expression, and then at the short-haired, aloof Han Mingjun.
She replied calmly, "There are so many people coming and going in this library, are you the only one who knows these rules? Besides, this little cat is much quieter than some people!"
Huai'an thought to himself: What a small world! It seems that Bai Mengqi hasn't learned her lesson and is still provoking me. Does she think I have "easy to bully" written on my forehead?
She was incredibly annoyed: "Whether I have good manners or not is none of anyone's business. At least I won't take up someone else's bed without permission, and I certainly won't question anyone without knowing the truth."
Han Mingjun blushed and said angrily, "You sharp-tongued bastard, I think you don't want to stay here anymore?"
Shi Huai'an scoffed, "Just coasting? I certainly didn't intend to coast here. I'm here to study and learn skills, not to coast. Are you here to coast through school? I really can't agree with that. Has your brain been borrowed by aliens for research? How come you don't have a single spark of thought?"
The students around her secretly smiled. Han Mingjun held up a finger, too angry to retort: "You—" At this moment, Han Mingxuan pulled her hand and said: "Don't get involved, let's go."
Upon hearing that Han Mingxuan was leaving, Bai Mengqi hurriedly grabbed Mingjun and said, "Let's not go, otherwise she'll think we're afraid of her. There are so many of us, what are we afraid of? If anyone should leave, it'll be her."
Han Mingjun hesitated for a moment but refused to leave, so Han Mingxuan could only frown and patiently watch how things developed.
She clenched her fists and stepped forward, shouting, "Hmph, keeping cats is strictly prohibited at school, and I'm severely allergic to cat fur. If something happens to it, can you take responsibility?"
Sitting to the side, Lin Xiao couldn't stand Bai Mengqi's aggressive behavior any longer and couldn't help but stand up for Shi Huai'an: "Bai Mengqi, you should go find a seat and study in peace. Your noise here is seriously affecting the other students."
Just then, a soft voice came from behind. A sweet-looking girl with a ponytail spoke up: "It's just a stray cat on campus. They always roam freely, and nobody can really control them. Don't make false accusations against others!"
The students who had been engrossed in their studies all looked up and turned to look at them, their faces showing displeasure. Clearly, they also had reservations about Bai Mengqi's behavior.
Another boy also expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "That's right. Our school has a tradition of caring for animals. Teachers will feed poor kittens when they see them. Don't go looking for trouble."
Another girl muttered under her breath, "Exactly! They're making a big deal out of nothing. What's it to you guys? They're just making trouble out of nothing and wasting everyone's time..."
Ignoring the crowd's condemnation, Bai Mengqi said, "Anyway, this cat can't stay in the library. What if a stray cat carries germs and infectious diseases?"
Shi Huai'an gently closed the book in his hand, picked his ear with his finger, and said lazily, "Ouch~ Why is there a fly buzzing around here? It's so annoying."
Bai Mengqi clenched her fists and said, "You—you dare to insult me—"
At this moment, Fat Orange Dodo slightly opened its pair of big, bright blue eyes. It yawned, stretched its body, and slowly extended its two front paws, elongating its body as if lazily stretching, as if showing the world its graceful curves and carefree attitude. Then it sat on the table, stretched out its hind paws to scratch its neck, and began to lick its fur with its tongue as if no one else was around, seemingly without any fear of strangers.
The girls around were completely charmed, exclaiming, "So cute! I want to touch it!"
Han Mingxuan, Bai Mengqi, and the others glanced at the book cover at the same time. It read "Huangdi Neijing Lingshu".
This is one of the classic works of traditional Chinese medicine, which details the theories of meridians, acupoints and acupuncture. It is generally incomprehensible to beginners of traditional Chinese medicine. I didn’t expect that this young girl could read such a profound work. Han Mingxuan couldn’t help but take another deep look at Shi Huai’an.
Han Mingjun's lips curled into a disdainful sneer as he said sarcastically, "Oh ho, still putting on airs here! You think you can understand this kind of book? I think you should take your cat and leave this place. Don't waste your time here and delay those who really want to read and study!"
Hearing this, Bai Mengqi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, chiming in a sweet voice, "That's right! People like her are just wasting public resources. They clearly don't know anything, but they still pretend to know a lot. They're so self-important!"
Shi Huai'an replied with a hint of sarcasm, "Hmph, even if I only know a little bit more than some people, that's enough. It's better than those short-sighted, frog-in-a-well types!"
Just then, a loud shout suddenly came from inside the library: "Hey—what's going on with you guys? Get back to your seats right now! If you want to argue, go outside and do it. Don't disturb the other students who are studying!" It turned out that a librarian had noticed the commotion and was sternly reprimanding them.
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengqi felt a surge of smugness. She looked at Shi Huai'an defiantly and said loudly, "Hehe, did you hear that? The teacher said we shouldn't bother others anymore, so you'd better be sensible and leave!"
After all, this was a library, and everyone was visiting for the first time. Although Shi Huai'an was angry, she didn't want to make a big deal out of it and just wanted to minimize the problem.
So, she took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and gently stroked the chubby orange cat, Duoduo, in her arms, saying softly, "Forget it, I can't be bothered with these mad dogs who bite randomly. You don't like listening to their barking either, do you? Why don't you go out and play? The air is fresh outside, there's plenty of space, and you can be free. This little kitty won't stoop to the level of these boring people, right?"
Fat Orange Dodo, who had been arching its back as if about to bristle, heard Huai'an's words and jumped over Bai Mengqi's shoulder with a "meow~", disappearing in a beautiful arc.
The students exclaimed in surprise, "Wow~ So cool~ It can actually understand words?!"
Some girls, their eyes sparkling with hearts, exclaimed, "She's so smart, I love her so much..."
Bai Mengqi was startled by the chubby orange cat leaping through the air and carrying her on her shoulder. She took several steps back and almost fell. She cried out in pain, but luckily Han Mingxuan caught her.
Shi Huai'an rolled his eyes at her, not wanting to get entangled any further. He packed his things, looked Bai Mengqi up and down, and said with a smile, word by word, "My master instructed me that it's better to compete with a wise man than to argue with a fool. If I stay with you for too long, I'm afraid my IQ will be lowered." After saying that, he pushed Bai Mengqi away forcefully and left the library with an air of nonchalance.
Bai Mengqi had just regained her balance when Shi Huai'an pushed her again, causing her to sway. She stomped her foot in anger and then tried to throw herself into Han Mingxuan's arms, saying in a coquettish tone, "Brother Mingxuan, look at her like this, she really deserves a beating, why aren't you helping me?"
Han Mingxuan had no choice but to politely offer his hand to support her, maintaining a distance, and said coldly with a dark expression, "Go read your book, don't cause trouble." He then picked up his book, found another seat, and ignored her.
Bai Mengqi was annoyed to see everyone around her snickering, but she didn't dare to cause trouble for Huai'an on her own, since she couldn't beat him. She had no other choice but to sit down next to Han Mingxuan again, her eyes filled with malice as she plotted something in her mind.
Shi Huai'an was walking ahead when Lin Xiao caught up with him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"The dorm is too crowded. I want to go to the classroom to see if I can study there," Huai'an said.
Lin Xiao said, "I'll go with you. Don't get angry with this kind of person; it's not worth it."
Huai'an looked at her, his resentment subsided a little, and he smiled and said, "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart."
Lin Xiao explained to her with a grin, "Oh, actually, the reason she's targeting you is because she heard that Professor Han selected you, and she might be a little unbalanced and resentful... But I think you definitely have real talent, otherwise why would your advisor have chosen you!"
Seeing Huai'an deep in thought, Lin Xiao added, "Actually, her jealousy is useless. In our dormitory, you are the only one who is pursuing a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree. The others are only pursuing a combined bachelor's and master's degree. Although it's only a year apart, to become Professor Han's personal disciple, you need to at least take the doctoral entrance exam. The gap between her and you is not small."
After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Shi Huai'an felt much relieved and said, "I just arrived at the school and haven't received any notification. However, I would be honored if I were selected. But this matter is not yet finalized, so let's not spread rumors."
Lin Xiao nodded, then asked curiously, "Haven't you contacted Professor Han yet? You should visit him first. It's a rare opportunity; others would kill to get his favor."
"Thank you for reminding me. I am going to visit Professor Han," Huai'an said with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to have such a good attitude at such a young age. And seeing you reading books on acupuncture, do you really understand acupuncture?" Lin Xiao asked.
Huai'an modestly replied, "I learned from my master back in my hometown, so I only know a little bit."
"Wow~ We're all four or five years older than you, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. I'll have to learn from you in the future," Lin Xiao said happily.
Just then, a chubby orange cat named Dodo, leading a group of stray tabby cats of various colors, nimbly emerged from the low bushes. They basked in the warm sunlight, chasing and playing to their hearts' content, as if this small world was their joyful playground.
Lin Xiao was deeply attracted by this scene and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, these kittens are so cute!" Huai An, who was standing next to her, couldn't suppress her love for the animals either. She quickly took out a bag of fragrant dried fish from her pocket, then slowly squatted down and offered the food to the hungry stray cats.
As Huai'an gently called the kittens to come and enjoy their food, she casually remarked, "Duo Duo, you're really something! How did you manage to attract so many new friends?"
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange dog, which had been happily rolling around on the grass, immediately stopped, revealing its round white belly. It lay sprawled on the ground, enjoying the wonderful moment, looking quite content.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao was filled with curiosity and quickly asked, "You actually named it Duoduo? Did you choose this name on purpose?"
Huai'an realized he had accidentally let something slip, so he quickly covered it up, "Hehe, actually it's not like that. I just saw a lot of stray cats here, so I just gave them random names. Duoduo—you know I'm calling you, right?"
Duoduo seemed to understand Huai'an's unspoken meaning. It obediently got up, took light steps and quickly ran to Huai'an. It affectionately rubbed its fluffy head against her palm and let out a soft "meow~" as if responding to Huai'an's call.
Lin Xiao happily took a dried fish from Huai An's hand and teased Duo Duo, saying, "Duo Duo, Duo Duo, what a nice name! And it understands that you're calling it. Here, Duo Duo, have some..."
Although Duoduo's belly was already round from eating, she still cooperated very well with Lin Xiao's interaction. Lin Xiao took the opportunity to pet the cat non-stop and laughed very happily.
Just then, the two men stopped beside them. Huai'an turned around and, unexpectedly, it was...
