The next day, Zhu Yu did see An Baizhi at school.
As usual, she listened to lectures, read books, and acted as a useless mediator when Zhao Jieyi and Xun Ziwang quarreled, making up for the first stage of the experience they wanted.
But I wore an extra beret just in case.
Originally, Zhu Yu planned to provide support from the sidelines to prevent anyone from asking why she was wearing a hat.
But at the end of the day, no one noticed any difference in the class's school committee's dressing style from usual.
Really trustworthy low presence.
Wait until Sunday morning, Zhu Yu gets up and makes breakfast.
Lin Suicao seemed to be sleeping in, so he didn't wake her up.
When I went out, there were fish-scale clouds above my head.
The agreed meeting place was a bookstore-style cafe on Xiwan Road, two streets away from the Affiliated Middle School.
An Baizhi stood in front of the glass display window, her head changed from a checkered beret to a white boatman's hat, with a bow ribbon on the back.
She was wearing a high-waisted dress today. The sun was shining down, and the skirt was slightly blown up by the wind, like a small flower blooming under the eaves.
In fact, Zhu Yu also thought of the sunny doll that he had only seen in animations, but this metaphor was too rude and quickly disappeared from his mind.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I just arrived a while ago."
She heard the voice and came over, "Hey, classmate Zhu Yu, if I missed what you said before, I apologize in advance."
"Have you just used this sentence pattern once two days ago?"
And he got angry after that, which made him a little nervous when he heard this.
An Baizhi ignored him: "But, I do remember you saying whether we wanted to go out together on Sunday. Judging from the conversation at that time, you were referring to [us], right?"
"yes."
After receiving an affirmative answer, she raised her hand and pointed indoors: "So, does Student Xia happen to be here too and accidentally met [us]?"
Xia Fenghe leaned against the small round table, her signature chestnut side ponytail hanging down smoothly.
She waved to the two of them through the glass, showing an innocent smile.
There were not many customers in the cafe, and the bookshelves were like walls separating small box-like spaces. Except for the table occupied by Xia Fenghe, there were only two people sitting diagonally from them reading books. people.
"It was indeed my negligence."
Zhu Yu pushed the coffee he ordered in front of An Baizhi as an apology.
He forgot to tell the other party about calling Xiaoxia classmate.
The girl took the white porcelain cup, stirred the steaming liquid with a small spoon, and took a sip without adding sugar or milk.
If Lin Suicao saw this scene, he might have a heart attack.
She definitely couldn't stand the bitter taste, but An Baizhi enjoyed it and remained silent without answering Zhu Yu's words.
As for Feng He on the other side, she had already picked out a copy of "Harry Potter" from the surrounding bookshelves.
There was a small round table with four legs. The two girls each occupied one side, and Zhu Yu, who was sandwiched in the middle, was attacked from both sides.
Seeing that they had no intention of speaking out, he had no choice but to take the lead: "Today's theme is to solve the incident of An Baizhi becoming a cat-eared sissy..."
"The symptoms had already been named before I knew it."
An Baizhi, who was suddenly mentioned, complained calmly, "Does Classmate Xia also know about this matter?"
Xia Fenghe nodded: "Understood. I knew it before we met last time."
"Well, so I was the only one who was kept in the dark, although I didn't mean to accuse anyone."
"Then can you please stop staring at me?"
Zhu Yu picked up the cup to avoid her gaze.
Although it is not sharp, it will make people's conscience condemned in another sense.
"So about the reason for this."
Xia Fenghe snapped his fingers, but failed to make a sound.
She put her hands down awkwardly.
"The reason for this is that Mr. An has awakened his Animagus form——"
Zhu Yu forcefully took the novel out of her hand.
"...Well, it was caused by her wish to change the status quo."
An Baizhi's eyes widened slightly.
She recalled what she had said.
"You said wishes come true...but I never thought it would be like this."
"I think that's where the problem lies."
Zhu Yu took over, "You don't have a clear tendency, so the miracle seed - the thing that caused you to grow cat ears - was randomly processed into this way of expression."
Different from Xia Shurong's conscious wishing, the primary difficulty they faced now was the specific question of what the core wish was.
An Baizhi paused for a moment because she heard the new term.
"Actually, although you say it's good to keep the status quo, you still want to be more eye-catching in your heart, so that you don't have any distinctive features, right?"
Zhu Yu speculated, "So the external manifestation is that he has eye-catching cat ears."
“The desire to be noticed – I don’t think I’m that expressive either.”
An Baizhi couldn't help but hold on to the edge of the boatman's hat.
What's more, her inner desire turned out to be cat ears, which was too shameful.
Xia Fenghe's attention was attracted by her action of holding up her hat, and she suddenly became excited: "Are you growing ears now?"
"Uh, yes."
Because there was a hat in the way, she didn't put away the cat ears.
The girl opposite supported the table and leaned her upper body over. The plump fruit on her chest almost blocked An Baizhi's sight.
"Can you let me see it?"
Their location was obscured by bookshelves, and there were no pedestrians outside.
"Just take a look!"
Before Zhu Yu could say anything, classmate Bai Zhi, who couldn't stand the other person's shining gaze, took off her hat, and her two white triangular ears that were originally folded popped out and turned slightly alertly.
The next moment, Xia Fenghe pounced on him like a vicious dog.
"So cute! It would be even cuter if it grew on Sui Cao's head!"
She crossed the table, her sinful hands already reaching for the pair of furry objects.
How could Zhu Yu let him succeed? Taking advantage of the closer distance, he directly intercepted him midway.
There was a snap, echoing crisply.
Xia Fenghe's claws were successfully swatted away.
Zhu Yu's left hand rested on An Baizhi's head, and his palm felt itchy as if it had been swept by dogtail grass.
The temperature is moderate, elastic, and so soft that it makes you want to rub it.
"You're already rubbing it."
"You won't let me rub it, but it's too much to do it yourself!"
There seemed to be strange noises coming from his ears, but at this moment Zhu Yu's attention had abandoned hearing and focused on touch.
He had similar feelings during the Pygmalion game some time ago.
Just like the sequelae of mental illness, rationality is suddenly blown away at a certain moment, and the body acts instinctively.
Pinch the soft ear bone and outer shell, and feel the deformation of it in your hands.
His fingers slid through the fine velvet, smoothing out the uneven parts over and over as if cleaning it.
Then go deeper inside, where the blood vessels are only separated from the fingertips by a thin layer of skin, and you can almost feel the flow of warm liquid.
If you go deeper...
"Ugh...ah."
"Stop!"
Xia Fenghe grabbed his wrist and pulled it away from the girl's head.
The ravaged cat ears returned to their original shape like a spring, but An Baizhi could not go back - not at all.
She just covered her cat ears, and a red glow appeared on the back of her snow-white neck.
Water vapor appeared in her clear eyes, which turned into a drop of clear tears at the corner of her eyes. She expressed a silent accusation against Zhu Yu with this expression that rarely appeared on her face.
