Chapter 47
Male peacocks open their tails to females during courtship season…
The information that was checked a few minutes ago suddenly appeared in Ji Tong’s mind.
Regardless of male and female, is this species alone, cats and peacocks, a bit outrageous?
The white cat’s eyes widened in bewilderment, and the eyes of the two Chengde boys watching beside him also widened.
“Am I hallucinating—damn, why are you pinching me?!”
“I’ll try to see if it’s a hallucination…”
Only Pei Qingyuan, who was holding the cat, frowned slightly.
Of course he knew that the male peacocks mainly opened their tails in spring. When he was studying here, he had heard of a few exceptions by accident. It was because the temperature was warmer in autumn and winter, which made the peacocks mistakenly think that spring was here.
But today is not hot.
After a moment of doubt, he remembered Ji Tong’s meowing before jumping into his arms.
What fell into his ears was “It’s a pity that I can’t see you all opening your screens today.”
…Does the peacock understand?
This explanation is more normal than peacocks courting cats.
“Can they understand you?” he asked Ji Tong.
Ji Tong reacted, stretched out his paw tentatively, and meowed twice uncertainly: “Meow…?” Thank you…?
The peacocks immediately shook their gorgeous tail feathers, and their emerald blue heads shook slightly, as if responding to his thanks.
Seeing this, one person and one cat breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
It turned out that other animals could only understand cats.
It’s normal, no big deal.
Ji Tong the cat shook his ears happily, and thanked again earnestly: “Thank you, this is the first time I’ve seen a peacock spread its tail, it’s very beautiful, see you next time!”
Amidst the rhythmic meowing of cats, the emerald golden sea studded with blue stripes swayed accordingly, creating a grand and magnificent scene.
It wasn’t until Pei Qingyuan left with the cats in his arms that they retracted their tail feathers, which seldom bloomed in autumn, and resumed their idly dazed posture.
The other two boys who didn’t know what happened were completely dumbfounded.
“Why does this cat seem to be able to command this group of peacocks? Isn’t it unscientific…”
“Okay, don’t think about it, we must be dreaming.”
“Then can I punch you?”
When Pei Qingyuan passed them by, he heard Ji Tong’s expectant meow.
“The next time I meet a nasty person, can I encourage the bird to throw a yellow and white solid-liquid mixture on their shoulder?”
Pei Qingyuan froze for a moment before he understood what he was talking about.
He didn’t answer, but there was a flash of a smile in his eyes, carefully looking for the right strength for the arm holding the cat.
He doesn’t hold flowers often, so now he still needs to explore the skills of holding cats.
The cat’s body is soft and warm, the white cat fur all over the body exudes a smooth and elegant luster, and the pure black heart on the back is extremely eye-catching.
“Ruanrou, is my cat handsome?”
Ji Tong stretched out his paw and plucked the cool black hair on his head.
Black is the most handsome color.
“…Um.”
Pei Qingyuan agreed with his own system without changing his expression.
Cute is probably also a kind of handsome.
When he returned to the dormitory with this special-looking cat in his arms, it immediately caused a small commotion.
“Squad leader, where did this cat come from? It’s so cute!”
“Fuck, there is a heart on it. Is this a natural fur color? It’s the first time I’ve seen this kind of…”
The team leader Zhou Fang came after hearing the news. Looking at the very well-behaved cat in Pei Qingyuan’s arms, she was amazed and analyzed carefully: “It looks so clean and beautiful, and it’s very close to people. It shouldn’t be a stray cat. Who raised it? Is your cat lost?”
Pei Qingyuan had already colluded with Maomao in advance: “It should be, I met it suddenly in school, and then followed me all the time.”
“Then you have to tell Teacher Qian that it might be a student’s cat. I think they allow pets in the dormitory.” Zhou Fang touched the cat’s head carefully and said with a little reluctance, “Wait for him later Come over and talk face to face, let’s help take care of it first.”
In the dormitory area, exchange students from other schools arrived one after another, and the air gradually became lively, with the sounds of students talking everywhere.
Only the students of No. 2 Middle School had no intention of socializing, and most of them watched the loving cats eating with silly smiles.
The cat Ji Tong quickly obtained the treatment of the three-and-a-half-year-old form, and harvested a lot of food fed by humans. However, he is not a real cat after all, and he was not mentally prepared to eat cat food. He just picked a little fruit to eat very pickily.
The apartment of Pei Qingyuan, Lin Zihai, and Shen Yiming has become a holy place for sightseeing. Under the warm sunlight in the autumn morning, the white cat nestled leisurely on the coffee table on the balcony of the living room, letting the sunlight shine on its beautiful hair. fruit plate.
The other half of the vacant room on this floor lived in the students of the No. 1 Middle School, which was the No. 1 Middle School that played with Pei Qingyuan’s basketball team before.
Although the names of the two schools sound great, No. 1 Middle School is more worthy of its name. It is indeed the best public high school in the city, and No. 2 Middle School is not ranked second.
The students in the No. 1 Middle School were very curious when they saw the people from the No. 2 Middle School next door always coming in and out of the same room. They couldn’t help but ran to watch, and were immediately overwhelmed by the extraordinary love.
“Oh my God, they have cats in their school! Why don’t we bring them here?”
“I didn’t bring it with me. It seems that someone from their school picked it up on Chengde’s campus.”
“Can I hang out with my classmates from No. 2 Middle School, it’s so cute, love cats…”
In the crowded crowd, Xiao Xinchen, who stood at the end and came to join in the fun, said with emotion: “This love is so cool.”
He watched the other No. 2 Middle School students queuing up to take selfies with the cats, and he also got ready to move and went to the front.
Relying on the fate of playing with Pei Qingyuan, he showed a candid smile and introduced himself: “Hello classmate, my name is Xiao Xinchen, and I am from the No. 1 Middle School basketball team. You beat us last time, remember? 108 to 62 , you are 108, we are 62!”
Pei Qingyuan, who was feeding the cat watermelon with a small spoon, was silent when he heard this.
He remembered, and he still remembered, after Xiao Jianping ran to find him after the game and was dragged away by his colleagues, he was asked by Xiao Xinchen if he had admitted the wrong person.
All in all, he deserves to be the son of Professor Xiao.
He politely responded to the self-introduction of the other party, and then said concisely: “Let’s shoot.”
Ji Tong also remembered this big boy with a strange brain circuit. In view of his relationship with Professor Xiao, he opened his blue eyes very face-saving, asked Mao Mao to take a better picture, and at the same time stretched out his paws to shake hands with Xiao Xinchen in a friendly manner. .
Xiao Xinchen, who enjoyed the special treatment, was flattered and shook hands with the cat very solemnly. When he returned to the room after taking the selfie, he said warmly to Pei Qingyuan: “I live in Room 507 next door to you. If you play games and open black people, call me. I want to rub cats!”
Pei Qingyuan: …
A very personal classmate.
Lin Zihai and Shen Yiming, who shared the dormitory with him, seemed to have gone to their rooms to read after watching the cats.
Ji Tong liked Xiao Xinchen very much. After watching him leave, he asked the host curiously: “Xiao Xinchen is here, will Professor Xiao follow?”
In previous exchange weeks, Chengde would invite some well-known professors and scholars from top universities to hold forums and lectures. It is said that Professor Xiao has also come here before.
Pei Qingyuan shook his head: “I don’t know, probably not.”
Professor Xiao had an unpleasant experience with the leaders of Chengde because of his affairs before, so Pei Qingyuan felt that it was unlikely that Chengde would invite him this year, even though Xiao Jianping is one of the few top experts in the field of artificial intelligence.
Ji Tong felt a little regretful, originally he wanted to watch the classic plot where the boss supported the protagonist.
But it doesn’t matter, there are still omnipotent cats.
Watermelon is delicious, and the sun is very comfortable. Ji Tong, who was a cat for the first time, suddenly envied Huahua. He squinted his eyes and happily rubbed the palm of the host with the handsome black hair on the top of his head.
Pei Qingyuan froze for a moment, paused with his fingertips, then quickly stretched them out, and gently rubbed the cat’s soft head with his warm palm.
The time agreed to go to the school auditorium as a group arrived. Teacher Qian, whom I met in the morning, came with the shuttle bus. When he saw this loving cat, he was also surprised.
“This feature is too eye-catching. I haven’t seen it in school. I guess it wasn’t raised by the students. I haven’t heard any students report that the pet is lost. It may have come in from outside the school.”
After thinking hard about it, Teacher Qian suggested, “How about this? I’ll send it to a pet shop outside the school for foster care, and I’ll check the monitoring later to see where it came from. The cat has a look. Just raise it with care, and it shouldn’t be difficult to find the owner.”
But when he opened his arms and wanted to take the cat over, he saw the cat backed away and completely got into Pei Qingyuan’s arms and refused to come out, leaving only a pair of big blue eyes, watching the scene with a little aggrieved everyone.
In this pitiful gaze, Zhou Fang was the first to surrender: “It looks like it doesn’t want to leave classmate Pei…”
Students from other schools also persuaded: “Mr. Qian, let us go here first. If you see the cat hunting notice, we will return it to its owner.”
Teacher Qian was very hesitant: “But you have to go to class, what will you do with it then? You can’t put it alone in the dormitory or in the corner of the classroom, it will definitely run around…”
Unexpectedly, the cat meowed obediently twice as if it could understand what he said, and looked at him with jewel-like eyes, as if saying that it would not do that.
Teacher Qian only persisted for two seconds, then obediently gave up resistance.
“Okay, take it to the auditorium first, and put it in the last row later. I’ll watch it from the side to see if it’s good or not.”
The students immediately cheered, and thanked Teacher Qian one by one. Qian Hongjia felt a little embarrassed when they called him, and inexplicably drew closer to this group of students from other schools. It seemed kinder.
“Okay, let’s go now.”
There were three buses going to the school auditorium, and the busiest one was the one carrying the students of No. 2 Middle School. During this time, no one was thinking about textbooks and studying, and they were all watching this mysterious cat that fell from the sky.
“Does it have a name? Should it be given a temporary name?”
“It’s called love? Xinxin?”
“Let the classmate who picked it up name it!”
Everyone was discussing in one go, and the white cat in the focus also meowed: “Meow meow!”
Pei Qingyuan understood what he meant, and said for him: “Called Mushroom?”
Ji Tong immediately rubbed his chin happily.
Everyone saw the cat’s reaction and immediately voted for it without hesitation.
“It seems to like the name.”
“The coat color is black and white, so it’s suitable to be called a mushroom.”
“Mushroom, what else do you like to eat besides fruit?”
“Meow meow meow meow meow!”
Crayfish and hot pot!
Pei Qingyuan, the only one who could understand cat meow, looked out the window silently.
This sentence is not suitable for translation.
After arriving at the auditorium, according to Teacher Qian’s suggestion, Pei Qingyuan put the cat Jitong on the last row of seats in the auditorium, and Qian Hongjia looked after him. His task this time was to meet the daily needs of these students from other schools. Not involved in teaching activities, so it is not beyond the scope of his duties.
Qian Hongjia was a little surprised. The cat looked really good. After being put down by Pei Qingyuan, it remained motionless, nestled in the chair, and looked ahead quietly, making his original nervous defensive posture useless.
However, the cat wanted to be quiet but the wind kept going. There were always students looking back at the cat and secretly waving and making faces with it. It was not until the welcome ceremony officially started that everyone calmed down and looked at the rostrum reluctantly.
The leaders of Chengde School sitting at the front were more surprised than Qian Hongjia when they looked at the group of visiting students below.
In the previous exchange weeks, after seeing the luxurious campus environment and temperament of Chengde, these students from other schools would basically look very cautious when it came to the welcome session, which formed a sharp contrast with the calm and calm Chengde student representatives next to them. .
But today, most of the students looked very relaxed, with smiles on their faces, which made the Chengde students next to them look dazed, not sure why.
The only difference this year is that a student brought a cat in, but the cat didn’t make any noise, as if it didn’t exist, so it wouldn’t have such a big impact, right?
Full of confusion, the school leaders started their routine speeches. From the glorious school history of Chengde, to the various teaching facilities that sound amazing, and to the activities of this year’s exchange week, all of them showed a sense of naturalness. The profound heritage and arrogance revealed.
“We temporarily extended the exchange week for two days because after discussion, the school hopes to provide students with a more complete and broad vision this year, so we decided to hold a three-and-a-half-day large-scale lecture series, involving Disciplines include philosophy, history, art, society, etc. Their soft brilliance always shines on people’s progress, as well as cutting-edge disciplines such as chemical materials, environmental ecology, artificial intelligence, and astrophysics. My classmates bring the freshest scenery…”
When the introduction came here, the school leader finally got a little more angry, because the students in the audience finally applauded enviously.
“For this large-scale series of lectures, the school has invited professors and scholars from some top universities at home and abroad, such as Bai Shuqiao, a professor of History Department of Qingping University who ranks first in domestic literature and history. I believe many students have seen Teacher Bai. The program about telling history… Another example is Teacher Qi Shao from the School of Artificial Intelligence of Jiangyuan University. He is a rising star in this field. He was just selected as a national outstanding young talent last year…”
Pei Qingyuan was not surprised by Chengde’s luxurious battle, he was very calm throughout the whole process, and listened intently to what Ji Tong in his heart said.
“They are all famous experts and professors, Chengde is really amazing.”
“Ruanrou, my cat’s fur is messed up, this gust of wind is so strong!”
“Teacher Qian took the initiative to close the window.” Ji Tong’s voice sounded very happy, “He has no intention of listening to the leader’s speech hahahaha.”
Pei Qingyuan turned his head back calmly, and could faintly see the white cat sitting on the chair dignifiedly, occasionally patting the back of Teacher Qian’s hand politely next to him as a gesture of praise.
And when he heard the introduction by Mr. Qi Shao from the School of Artificial Intelligence of Jiangyuan University, Xiao Xinchen in the audience applauded the most vigorously among the students.
The familiar classmates looked at him puzzledly: “Why are you so excited? Your father doesn’t have that name…”
“You don’t understand.” Xiao Xinchen raised his eyebrows and let out a meaningful laugh, “Hey.”
He endured itching until the end of the welcome ceremony, and took advantage of the gap between the students’ chatting and chatting, and found a corner to call Xiao Jianping.
As soon as the phone was connected, he whispered, “Dad, what’s the matter? Let’s go according to the original plan?”
Xiao Jianping’s voice came over: “Don’t worry, I just finished talking with Teacher Qi about the lecture.”
Xiao Jianping was sitting in Qi Shao’s office right now, discussing the topic of the lecture with him. The young teacher brought out by him smiled and shook his head, quietly listening to him talking to his son.
When Xiao Jianping asked him for help a few days ago, Qi Shao was so shocked that he didn’t speak for a while.
A senior professor who is obviously his teacher said that he wanted to be his assistant when he went to give a lecture in a high school.
The young Qi Shao took a deep breath, never hearing such a special request.
“Ms. Xiao, can I ask why?” He wondered, “I was quite surprised at first, why they didn’t invite you, but came to me instead, it’s unreasonable, did you refuse it before?”
“It’s a long story.” Xiao Jianping said calmly, “To put it simply, I want to take this opportunity to spend a few more days with my son and another student I am very optimistic about, and I can take more photos of my wife to look back at. There are so many students going to exchange, there are few opportunities for the teachers in charge of taking pictures of the school to take pictures of Xinchen.”
“Moreover, the idea of this lecture is still very good. Many of my old friends will go there. It can be regarded as a big interdisciplinary gathering. Maybe many new ideas can be collided. When the time comes, I will introduce you to them. .”
Qi Shao immediately withdrew everything he wanted to say, and said solemnly: “Good teacher Xiao, no problem, teacher Xiao, I will listen to you!”
After getting his father’s affirmative answer, Xiao Xinchen was so happy that he jumped up and said enthusiastically: “That’s great, Dad, I love you!”
Xiao Jianping is very honest: “…Actually, it cannot be said that it is all for you.”
“It’s okay, I know you have another classmate in your heart.” Xiao Xinchen is more honest than him, “But the only outsider who knows the ins and outs of all this is me! God’s perspective is really cool, Dad, I feel like a sweeper now Monk, prepare for the coming battle, do you understand this feeling!”
“Understood, Sweeping Monk.” Xiao Jianping had long been accustomed to his son’s jumping brain circuits, and said calmly, “See you tomorrow.”
Xiao Xinchen happily bid farewell to him: “See you tomorrow, father of the sweeping monk!”
