Cheng Anlang: "What is acting cute..."
Tong Ban: "..."

At noon, Ya Ya brought Cheng Da Hua over.
It wasn't delivered through the main gate; instead, Yaya, Xigua, and Luosifen carried Cheng Dahua's flowerpot from the ground to the window, and Cheng Dahua fanned her two large leaves, experiencing the feeling of flying.
Cheng Anlang opened the window: "..."
He reached out to take Cheng Dahua's hand and asked, "Why didn't you use the main entrance?"
"Gah—"
It's quick to get through the window, but my tooth hurts a little...
The ducks left without making any more noise; they had a competition in the afternoon.
Cheng Anlang looked at the teeth marks on the golden flowerpot: "..."
Cheng Anlang: "No, I can't get bitten again!"
Cheng Anlang took a rope and a large basin, tied them together, and placed them outside the window, slowly letting them hang down.
He tried pulling it and said to Cheng Dahua with satisfaction, "This will do. From now on, just sit downstairs and notify me with your smart device, and I'll pull you up directly."
Cheng Anlang thought for a moment and continued, "When I have time, I'll buy an automatic lifting device and replace this basin with a small house. Hmm... that way, even if I'm not in the dorm when you come back, you can stay inside first."
I wonder what people outside the dormitory building think when they see a small house hanging down from the building...
Cheng Anlang touched the window again: "Or should I put a small door on the window?"
The dorm supervisor might not be too happy... Oh well, I'll just hang the basin outside for now...
Cheng Anlang picked up the flowerpot. The soil inside had clearly been replaced and was better than the substrate he had prepared himself.
Cheng Anlang: "Why did you change the soil? Did you cause trouble over there? Did you spill the soil?"
"Aww!"
Cheng Dahua shook her head. "I'm such a good girl, how could I cause trouble!"
How do we replace the soil?
He contacted Zhang Mingyu: "Why was the soil for the big flower changed? Did you scatter some soil on it?"
Zhang Mingyu is probably busy and hasn't answered yet.
Zhang Mingyu: "When we were playing around, I accidentally spilled some. My classmate poured out the substrate from the potted plant in the combat room and replaced it with the big flower. That substrate was very good. My classmate said that next time the big flower comes, he will bring some for it. You can use that substrate for the big flower in the future, and add some nutrient solution. I guarantee that the big flower's wind-blowing skills will get better and better."
Cheng Anlang: "How much?"
Zhang Mingyu: "It's just rustic, it's free."
Cheng Anlang: ...
Cheng Anlang looked at Cheng Dahua again; it had a small duck backpack hanging on its body.
Cheng Anlang took off the small backpack and said in surprise, "Why did you bring back Duck Duck's backpack!"
"Ouch." Cheng Dahua took out the mini storage compartment from her bag.
Cheng Anlang's eyes widened: "Why did you bring back someone else's storage compartment?!"
Cheng Dahua poured out a large pile of snacks, meat, and nutrient solution. The meat was very diverse, including cured meat, braised meat, dried meat, sliced meat, and so on, along with a sealed box.
When Cheng Anlang opened the box, he was surprised to find a bowl of steaming hot Star Jumps Over the Wall. Judging from the ingredients, it was obviously expensive. There was also a small note on the box: "Nice to meet you. These are gifts for Huahua. Anlang and Huahua, don't forget to eat them. Tell Huahua to come often. From all the ladies and some gentlemen in Combat Room A." There was also a string of chicken hearts drawn at the end.
Cheng Anlang: "..."
That bowl of Star Jumps Over the Wall was most likely because he hadn't brought much meat with him and simply gave up his lunch...
Cheng Anlang: You're quite charming. You've captured the hearts of so many girls on the very first day. You're sure to be a femme fatale who brings ruin to the country in the future...
Chapter 44, Spokesperson
Cheng Anlang carried Cheng Dahua to the arena.
He finished playing the last five games of the day.
The qualifying rounds are on their last day, and the points will soon be tallied to enter the knockout stage. No one has won all their matches yet. Cheng Anlang is currently tied for the top three with two other people, so it's certain that he will enter the knockout stage. After that, the rankings will be exactly seven people.
A noisy crowd had gathered in one side of the arena. Cheng Anlang stood outside the crowd and glanced at them casually, not knowing what was going on inside. The people in the crowd turned to look at Cheng Dahua outside the crowd, then turned back to talk to the people in the middle.
When others pass by him, they always glance at Cheng Dahua, whether consciously or unconsciously, and then gather around and chatter amongst themselves.
Cheng Anlang: Why is everyone looking at Cheng Dahua...?
Cheng Anlang was a little curious and couldn't help but walk over and stand at the back of the crowd to look inside. What he saw was people placing bets on who would be the champion of the junior group...
Cheng Anlang: ...There are things like this here too?
The screen in the middle displays ten names, each with its own odds below it.
Cheng Anlang: Cheng Dahua actually has the lowest odds!
"Aww..."
