Softy lay quietly on the ground and watched as Gao Peng dragged the fat crane away.
After making sure that Gao Peng was far away, Softy got up and stretched lazily with its front paws in front of its body. Its back was bent like a bow, and its black tail swayed gently.
It walked gracefully to the phone, raised its left paw, and put the phone to its ear. A sharp claw popped out of its right paw and tapped on the landline a few times.
Soon, the call was connected. "Meow?" Softy called lazily.
The person on the other side of the phone replied skillfully, "Understood."
After hanging up, the receptionist at the furniture store took out a pen and paper and jotted down a few notes. She said to the manager, "Manager, customer number 12 wants to change the furniture."
"Okay, Xiao Li, go to the customer's house and see what furniture needs to be changed. Then call back and we'll send someone to send the furniture over."
"Yes, Manager." A young man in a blue short-sleeved shirt went downstairs skillfully and rode a motorcycle to the suburbs.
Gao Peng returned to his house and ordered Dumb, who was carrying Flamy, "Throw it down."
Dumb obediently threw Flamy away. Flamy fell to the ground with a thud.
However, it couldn't stand up because it was too fat to fly. It was round like a ball.
"Squeak squeak?" Flamy asked its friends in surprise. Why didn't they help it up?
Da Zi waved its antennae and was about to help Flamy up.
"Don't help it up. If it can't get up by itself today, it doesn't need to get up," Gao Peng said grumpily.
Flamy blinked, then lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
...
There was a treadmill in the villa. Gao Peng put the penguin on the treadmill.
"Train well for the next few days," Gao Peng said to Flamy.
As he spoke, he patted Flamy's head. Its red crown was as red as blood. It was a red crown of flesh.
It was rough to the touch, like a lump of cold sand. There was friction to the touch.
Flamy was of the fire attribute. However, its crown was very cold.
The feathers on the surface of her body were as soft and smooth as silk. It felt good to the touch.
Then, Gao Peng packed up and drove to school.
After sitting in Abba's car for a long time in the wilderness, his butt hurt. Driving was still more comfortable.
The large truck drove on the road, attracting many envious gazes.
This kind of steel monster was particularly eye-catching on the road.
The truck was parked in a parking lot not far from the school. Gao Peng closed the door and got out of the car to head to the school.
They should still be in class at this time.
Usually, after two days of rest after the college entrance examination, the school would give the second year high school students summer vacation tutoring to give them warm care.
Gao Peng was a third-year high school student, but he graduated early.
Gao Peng couldn't help but want to go back and see them when he thought about how his classmates were still working hard in the classroom even though the college entrance examination had ended …
The guard stopped Gao Peng. "Outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave the school as they please."
An Iron-backed Pallas's Cat was squatting beside the old man outside the door. It raised its head and glared at Gao Peng fiercely. Its flat and round body was like a ball, and the expression on its face was naturally fierce.
However, this Pallas's Cat was not big. It was only the size of two palms. A few long white whiskers grew on its fleshy face. As it breathed, the Pallas's Cat walked in circles around Gao Peng fiercely. Its front legs were turned outwards, and its palms were clasped together as if it was walking in splayed steps.
"Sir, I'm from this school." Gao Peng took out his student ID from his pocket. The guard took it and looked at it. "You're from our school." Then, he stared at Gao Peng suspiciously. "But why do I feel that you look familiar?"
When the Pallas's Cat heard the guard's words, it let out a meow and pounced on Gao Peng. It used its small teeth to tear Gao Peng's trousers.
Gao Peng lifted his right foot gently. The palm-sized Pallas's Cat stumbled backward and fell on its back. It rolled on the ground and got up, then continued to pounce on Gao Peng fiercely.
"Stop fooling around." Gao Peng scolded the little fatty in a low voice.
He bent down and picked up the Pallas's Cat, only to find that it was lighter than he had imagined. Its soft fur was a little thick, like a layer of thick cowhide. Gao Peng's palms were itchy from the short hairs.
After being picked up by Gao Peng, the Pallas's four paws kept flailing around, creating a comedic effect.
The Pallas's cat was famous for its short legs. It also had a large face, blunt ears, and a short and thick tail. Therefore, it looked like a chubby little boy.
"Sir, since when did you have a Pallas's Cat?" Gao Peng asked curiously. He remembered that the guard had never had a pet before.
The guard frowned and looked at Gao Peng. "I've had this kitten for almost half a month. Don't you know that you're a student of this school?"
Uh …
Gao Peng was speechless. He didn't expect the guard to be so conscientious. He didn't forget about his identity even at a time like this.
"I'm a student of Grade Two, Class Three. I took the College Entrance Examination in advance …" Gao Peng explained the situation to the guard.
The guard slapped his head. "I remember now. You're a salted fish!"
Gao Peng, "???"
The guard happily took out his phone from his pocket. He skillfully unlocked his phone and opened WeChat. He clicked on a group chat and quickly found a picture. He clicked on it and enlarged it.
Gao Peng was lying on a big rock with his arms and legs spread out. Beside him were a few familiars in the same position. At the bottom of the picture were the words: I'm already a salted fish.
“.....”
Gao Peng's smile froze.
"I was wondering why you looked so familiar. So you're this salted fish," the guard said cheerfully.
"Sir, how long has this picture been circulating?"
"It's been popular for a while. Hey, hey, don't go. Besides this one, there are a few others. They're all quite interesting." The guard continued to scroll up. There were a few other monster trainer emoticons.
For example, in one of the pictures, a boy was holding onto the neck of a Volcanic Vulture and flying in the sky in an unsightly posture. His hair was blown like a chicken's nest by the wind. His face was pale and his expression was ghastly. Below the picture were the words: Shivering.
Pfft.
Gao Peng laughed unscrupulously.
But then he felt that it was inappropriate and tried to hide the smile on his face.
Anger rose from the bottom of his heart. Who was it that secretly spread his handsome picture on the Internet?
Li Zigong, who was in class, sneezed.
"Not long ago, the principal held a meeting to praise you. You've made Chang 'an No. 3 High School proud," the guard said with a smile. "Since you're a student of your alma mater, you may enter."
Gao Peng thanked the guard and walked into the school.
When he passed by the guard, the little Iron Back Pallas Macaque cautiously shrank behind the guard's leg. It stared at Gao Peng and meowed threateningly when it saw him looking at it.
Gao Peng smiled and stepped into the school.
The school was still the same. There weren't many changes, and the teachers probably hadn't changed either. But Gao Peng didn't feel familiar when he returned to the school. He felt like a stranger who had returned to a familiar place.
There were a few pots of iron trees planted at the bottom of the empty school building. Under the scorching sun, everything was scorched to a crisp yellow.
In a trance, Gao Peng seemed to hear the bell ringing. A group of students rushed down the school building to the cafeteria.
Shaking his head, Gao Peng's expression was complicated. He knew that he wouldn't have the chance to return to school in the future.
