Two weeks after the start of the senior year, the countdown to the college entrance examination began on the blackboard at the back of the school, and a banner with the slogan “If you don’t study today, you’ll be laying bricks tomorrow” was hung at the school gate. Everyone felt the atmosphere gradually becoming more tense.
As a result, the students’ pace from the cafeteria to the teaching building became hurried, and many of them did not sleep during their lunch break, but stayed in the classroom to do practice problems.
When Lu Huan arrived at this school and this class, he did indeed attract a lot of attention for the first half month. Many girls from other classes came to see him, and countless girls tried to chat him up.
But after the initial excitement wore off in the first two weeks, everyone gradually got used to the fact that there was a handsome guy in the class for two reasons.
Firstly, this school was a key high school, and the students were primarily focused on their studies and were generally quite self-disciplined. Secondly, even if someone tried to strike up a conversation, like Yu Pei, Lu Huan didn’t really pay attention; he was even more wary than Su Xi.
So, half a month later, when the classmates saw Lu Huan helping Su Xi clean the blackboard again, they were all calm.
Su Xi and Lu Huan went to and from school together. Each week, Su Xi taught Lu Huan one modern skill, from radio calisthenics to playing mahjong, to Werewolf and roller skating. Lu Huan learned everything very quickly. In addition, unless something happened in Yan State, he stayed here, so he had plenty of time. Thus, gradually…
He was finally becoming more and more like a 21st-century young man, and was increasingly integrating into this world.
When he first arrived in this world, the thing he found hardest to get used to was taking a taxi. Sitting in a carriage with four wheels that seemed to drift on the ground, Lu Huan’s entire worldview was greatly shaken.
But once he got used to it, Lu Huan couldn’t help but start researching various car models.
This is probably a hobby that no boy can resist: a strong love for mechanical things.
He also bought a robot vacuum cleaner and some models online to take them apart and see what was inside.
During weekend relaxation time, when not doing homework, Su Xi would sit on the sofa with her tablet watching TV series, while he would take things apart next to her— Su Xi was almost envious of him, because he had never been exposed to modern civilization before, so there were just too many novel things around him.
Some things that seemed ordinary to Su Xi and Huo Jingchuan, such as heaters, he couldn’t help but take apart the heating filament in the middle to take a look.
In this way, Su Xi’s world has too many things for Lu Huan to explore.
With Su Xi by his side, Lu Huan quickly became less alienated from this world than he had been at the beginning.
Aside from his speech, behavior, and mannerisms, which still retained the customs of the Yan state, wherever he went, people on the street only assumed that he was the school heartthrob of some middle school or a minor celebrity.
In this regard, it must be said that Su Xi felt very at ease.
Before the two worlds could communicate, she had many concerns, but later she found that she had worried for nothing.
There’s no such thing as two worlds that can never meet. Because he would strive to complete his mission and come to her world.
There was no possibility that he’ll feel out of place in her world and ultimately have to part ways with her. Because he would strive to integrate, to live a normal life in a completely unfamiliar world. And whatever he did, he would ultimately succeed.
Lu Huan never made her feel insecure, anxious, or afraid.
The little dumpling she used to be had slowly been transformed by time into a flesh-and-blood, warm person in her heart, different from a paper doll.
It wasn’t until he came into her world that she realized all this… He wasn’t just someone whose head would bubble when he was troubled, whose head would grow a sun when he was happy, and whose head would be covered with dark clouds when he was unhappy; he was a living, breathing young man standing right in front of her, possessing infinitely wonderful qualities, gentle and honest, and stubbornly persistent.
Su Xi felt a warm glow in her heart every day when she saw Lu Huan, and felt very at ease and content.
It was as if they possessed both confidence and courage. No matter how the future changes, they have nothing to fear.
….
That weekend, the Exotic Shorthair cat that Su Xi had ordered finally arrived home. The cat was in a cage and, probably because it had come by taxi, it was whimpering because it was terrified.
Su Xi was incredibly excited. She told her parents that she was going to Gu Qin’s house to finish her homework, but in fact, she had been waiting at the apartment for a while. She carried the cage and the cat to the balcony, where a litter box and a cat food bowl were already prepared.
As soon as the cage was opened, the chubby kitten looked around warily, then slowly and reluctantly walked out, its little belly jiggling.
Su Xi’s heart melted! She picked it up with a rub, held it in her arms, stroked its little head, and pinched its chubby little face.
Lu Huan returned from grocery shopping and witnessed this scene. He saw Su Xi holding the cat in her arms, petting and kissing it. She didn’t even seem to hear the noise from the doorway when he came back. Lu Huan changed his shoes and walked in. Su Xi was still excitedly squeezing the cat’s paws… Lu Huan couldn’t help but cough and ask her, “I bought shrimp. Do you want to eat shrimp for lunch?”
Su Xi looked up at him and called him over with delight: “Quick, quick, give it a name.”
Lu Huan put the groceries in the kitchen, walked over, squatted down in front of her and the cat, rolled up his sleeves and was about to pick up the cat when he saw the cat suddenly bristle and timidly shrink back into its cage.
“…” Lu Huan glanced at it and said, “Let’s name it Coward.”
“Don’t be afraid, he’s a very nice person, not fierce,” Su Xi said to the cat with a smile.
She reached in, ruffled the cat’s head, thought for a moment, looked up at Lu Huan, and made her decision: “Let’s call it Bold.”
Lu Huan glanced at the kitten huddled up in the cage: “…Are you sure?”
Bold quickly adapted to life in the apartment, but for some reason, it was a little afraid of Lu Huan. Whenever Lu Huan appeared, it would quickly tuck its tail between its legs and run away. If Lu Huan called its name, it would quickly hide in Su Xi’s arms as if fleeing.
Both Su Xi and Lu Huan were quite puzzled by this. It was probably a disagreement between two males living under the same roof.
Su Xi told Lu Huan to feed the cat more and get closer to it, but the cat refused to touch any food Lu Huan put in its bowl. In the end, Su Xi had to feed it herself, and Lu Huan could only clean up its litter box.
General Zhenyuan, the Emperor, and the people of Yan could never have imagined that their Ninth Prince, ostensibly guarding the imperial tombs, was actually in another world every day, condescending to squat down and shovel excrement for a four-legged beast.
As Lu Huan predicted, Su Xi was excited about raising a cat for the first time, and couldn’t wait to bring the cat into the room to sleep together.
Six out of seven days a week, when Lu Huan knocked on the door to wake Su Xi up, he found the fat cat lying contentedly on top of Su Xi’s head, its belly spread out.
The fat cat lazily opened its eyes, and when it saw that it was this two-legged beast again, it glanced at him with a very smug look in its eyes.
“…”
Lu Huan’s face darkened.
