Zhang Mingyu was about to speak when Shen Rui interrupted him, saying, "Stop talking nonsense. What can you give us? I'll give you a few bottles sometime. Fill them with the saliva of your mutated beast as a way of repaying you!"
Cheng Anlang was initially embarrassed by Shen Rui's words, but later breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they want something...
Yu Ya added, "Don't feel embarrassed. If Hua Hua gets a good ranking in the competition, Shen Rui, as the sponsor, will also feel proud."
Zhang Mingyu looked at Cheng Anlang, and the urge to pat his head resurfaced. He paused and said softly, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best. You and Da Hua both have great potential. If you can improve, I...we will be very happy."
Shen Rui was shocked when he heard this: Why did Zhang Mingyu suddenly start speaking like a human being?
Cheng Anlang stared blankly at the three people in front of him, as if a warm current had flowed through his heart, igniting his long-dormant heart.
He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Da Hua and I will try our best."
"Awooooo!" Cheng Dahua exclaimed excitedly, "I will be the best!"
They said a few more words of encouragement, checked the time, and prepared to leave. After the three of them disappeared at the end of the corridor, Cheng Anlang breathed a sigh of relief.
He stepped back to close the door, but just as he closed it, a loud bang came from behind him!
Bang!
Cheng Anlang suddenly turned around!
Fortunately, the dormitory was well soundproofed. If the three of them had heard the loud noise and come in to see this scene, Cheng Anlang wouldn't know how he would have reacted.
Black and yellow dirt was scattered all over the ground, standing out starkly against the porcelain white floor tiles. Even the bed sheets hanging down were inevitably splattered with tiny specks of debris.
Cheng Dahua lowered her head.
Its flowerpot cracked...
Actually, the flowerpot was already doomed the moment it hit the table. At first, it was just a small crack, but the gap gradually widened until it was about to explode. Cheng Dahua didn't want to lose face in front of others, so while they were talking and not paying attention to this, and the mutated beasts in front of them weren't concerned about it, she stretched out a few thin roots and hooked them tightly onto the edge of the flowerpot that was about to fall apart, holding it up until they left.
It sadly took a big bite of the meat that Cheng Anlang hadn't had time to put away.
"Cheng Dahua!"
Cheng Anlang quickly stepped forward, checked Cheng Dahua's roots, and after confirming that it was not injured, he gave it a hard knock on the head!
"Serves you right for jumping around like that! Now you've ruined the flowerpot!"
Cheng Anlang ruthlessly put the meat into his miniature storage compartment, leaving only a few scraps.
"You can only eat this much meat today as punishment for breaking the flowerpot."
"Aww..."
Cheng Anlang picked up all the broken pieces of the flowerpot, quickly tidied up the dormitory, and then pushed Cheng Dahua into the bathroom to rinse the roots.
"I'll go to the shopping street tonight to buy you a flowerpot. Will I still hold you?" Cheng Anlang asked as he cleaned the roots.
Cheng Dahua was about to shake her head; she was too conservative and didn't want to show her little paws in front of people. But just as she shook her head, she caught a glimpse of a big treasure in the corner of the room...
"Awooooo!"
It suddenly became excited, excitedly stretched out its leaves and shook Cheng Anlang, then pointed in another direction of the room.
Cheng Anlang was so dizzy from being shaken that he looked in the direction of its leaves.
Cheng Anlang: "..."
That was the thermos lid that he hadn't had time to put on after he finished drinking the water; it could be used as both a water cup and a lid!
Cheng Anlang: "...Are you sure you want to use that?"
Cheng Dahua nodded, since it was dark and she couldn't see anything anyway.
Cheng Anlang: "..."
You are actually the center of attention.
Seeing Cheng Dahua's insistence, Cheng Anlang had no choice but to wash the thermos cap and bring it over.
The thermos lid was a bit small, and it took a lot of effort to stuff all of Cheng Dahua's roots inside before gently covering them with a layer of soil and pressing it down.
"Is it crowded..." Cheng Anlang asked.
"Ouch!" I can endure it!
Chapter 15 15. New flowerpot
The deep blue clouds at night were edged with golden light, the streets meandered all the way to the dark horizon, the school buildings in the distance were silhouetted against the dark blue background, the commercial street was brightly lit, bustling with people, and filled with laughter.
After passing by Cheng Anlang, someone covered their mouth and chuckled with their friend.
"Look over there, that's the flower!"
"So ugly, it looks even uglier at night."
"Is there something wrong with his flowerpot...?"
"That flowerpot looks kind of familiar..."
"...I think so too, like the lid of the thermos I use."
A series of noises filled the air. Cheng Anlang carried Cheng Dahua as they walked and stopped, showing no interest in what the people nearby were saying. They were both mesmerized by the various strange and wonderful things on the commercial street.
