Chi Yi was so close that Shen Ge could even smell the mint shower gel on him. He stammered, “Handsome.”

　　Shen Ge’s voice was too soft, like a cat’s meow, and Chi Yi almost didn’t hear what he said.

　　After getting the answer he wanted, Chi Yi leaned aside to let him into the room. He then opened the wardrobe, took a short-sleeved shirt from the hanger and put it on. Shen Ge finally dared to look Chi Yi in the eye.

　　Thinking of what he wanted to ask, Shen Ge asked Chi Yi: “Do you know what my parents are busy with recently? I said I would go back to work with them on the weekend, but they disagreed and told me not to worry about it and to study hard. It seems weird no matter how I look at it.”

　　Chi Yi knew about this: “The snack bar mentioned earlier seems to have been decided, and they should be busy with the decoration recently.”

　　Decoration? Shen Ge was a little anxious: “The decoration has already started? Where is the snack bar opened? How come I don’t know anything about it.”

　　[I’m sure they’re afraid it will delay your studies. ]

　　Chi Yi thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know where the store is either. I asked my mom, but she wouldn’t tell me.”

　　Shen Ge looked at Chi Yi, as if he wanted to hear something from Chi Yi’s heart. Chi Yi felt a little embarrassed, and only heard one sentence:

　　[Is there something dirty on my face? No way, I just took a shower.]

　　Shen Ge sat on the carpet somewhat depressed and drew a kitten on the fluff of the carpet with his fingers. He missed Da Fu a little and wanted to pet the kitten.

　　Chi Yi looked at the chubby little striped cat and remembered the last time they discussed about picking up Dafu during the long vacation. He planned to ask Chi’s father and mother about it tonight.

　　”I’ve been a bit busy these past two days. Can you ask my parents about Dafu tonight?”

　　Dafu!

　　Shen Ge’s eyes lit up. If Chi Yi was willing to ask Chi’s father and mother with him, there should be no problem with Dafu’s matter, right?

　　So when Chi’s father and mother came back from the company, they saw Chi Yi who was hesitant to speak and Shen Ge who was eager to try. Both pairs of eyes looked at them at the same time: “Do you want to discuss something with mom and dad?”

_______________

　　”Stray cats? No, no, cats running outside are very dirty and may carry bacteria on their bodies. You can’t bring them home.” Just after Father Chi finished speaking in a decisive manner, he saw Shen Ge’s lonely eyes. Mother Chi immediately poked Father Chi with her hand and said to Shen Ge gently: “Xiao Ge, if you want to keep a cat, Mommy will ask someone to find a reliable cattery and buy one for you, okay? What your father said makes sense. It is inevitable that stray cats have bacteria on them.”

　　Chi Yi sat on the sofa, his palms slightly sunken into the sofa, as if simply refuting what Chi’s father and mother said: “Da Fu is very clean and has been vaccinated. If you are worried, I can take it to the pet hospital for a check-up.”

　　Chi Yi rarely expressed what he wanted directly and firmly. Chi’s father wanted to say something else, but Chi’s mother shook her head at him: “If you want to raise a dog, then raise one. When we still had the yard, Dad raised a big dog to guard the house, and no one in the family was allergic to it. When you came to us last time, Mom thought you wanted to raise a dog.”

　　Shen Ge didn’t know that Chi Yi had secretly asked about his parents, and looked at Chi Yi with some surprise.

　　Shen Ge smiled and said thank you to Chi’s father and mother. Noticing that Chi Yi was still sinking into the sofa, supporting himself with his hands, he gently patted his shoulders to make him relax: “Thank you for speaking for Dafu just now. I didn’t know you had already asked your parents.”

　　Chi Yi shook his head, but he relaxed: “Nothing, I also… like Dafu very much.”

　　Dafu’s matter was settled, and Tian Zihao, Lu Zhiyu and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

　　A student council member passing by was holding a pile of papers and kindly reminded a few people who were not in good shape because of the upcoming long vacation: “Don’t forget the monthly exams next Monday and Tuesday. The scores must be released before the long vacation. If you don’t do well in the exams, you will have to suffer the consequences when you go home.”

　　Tian Zihao wailed, “This school is so sinister. Why did they choose the second happiest time of my life to hold the exam? Doesn’t that mean I have to take the test paper back with me to celebrate the holiday?”

　　The student council member pushed his glasses and said, “I’m afraid you guys will play too much and won’t be able to concentrate. It’s okay for you to go home and have a meal of fried pork with a belt, but Chi Yi and Shen Ge still have two military orders on their backs. Although they have good grades, we can’t let our guard down.”

　　Shen Ge’s scores in the occasional small tests have remained as stable as ever. Chi Yi’s grades, on the other hand, are pretty good, not like the person who could only score 300 or 400 points before. Even the student committee members have begun to feel that Yinghua looks like a good school, but is actually a place that wastes students’ time.

　　Tian Zihao reluctantly took the newly issued test paper and whispered to the class committee member: “Song Han, you really talk like your teacher. I don’t believe you can resist reading novels during the holidays.”

　　The student council member looked at him strangely and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I can’t help it. So I have decided that all homework must be finished on the first day of the holiday. You’re on your own.”

　　Chi Yi reached out and took a stack of papers from the front desk, took out two and passed the rest to the back, handed one to Shen Ge, and replied to the student council member: “It’s okay, I will do well in the exam.”

　　Chi Yi wrote his name on the blank papers and stuffed all the papers into the hole in the desk, ready to study while the teacher was explaining the questions. In the third year of high school, he basically didn’t know how to learn new content. The teacher mostly explained the questions during the evening self-study. Chi Yi decided to only listen to the parts he didn’t know.
