I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 196

The afternoon classes were still just as dull, especially for someone like him who understood everything as soon as it was explained.

For those students who were struggling and couldn’t understand at all, there wasn’t much to be bored about.

For those who needed to listen attentively to understand and wanted to get good grades and make progress, a class could actually be quite fulfilling.

And then there were those like Ji Yun and Bai Xiaoxiao, who genuinely loved studying.

Unconsciously, the last class of the day ended, and the class monitors began assigning homework as usual.

Xu Lin glanced at the blackboard and noticed that it was his and Li Bin’s turn to clean the classroom today.

“Xu Lin, you sweep the floor, and I’ll mop?”

“Sure.”

“Xu Lin, I’ll wait for you at the bike shed?” Ji Yun glanced at Xu Lin and grabbed his backpack, intending to take it down for him.

“Okay.” Ji Yun nodded, instantly more energetic at the mention of the pet shop and the dog.

I want to pet it!

Her parents never allowed her to have a pet at home, even though she really wanted a little companion. Unfortunately, both her mom and dad were strongly opposed.

But why was it taken to the pet hospital? Was it sick? She wondered as she quickly left the classroom.

“Girls really do love small animals, huh?”

“Isn’t that normal? Cute little animals, who doesn’t like them?”

Li Bin said, thinking of his own fierce and greedy big black dog. Unless it’s not cute at all!

Then, Xu Lin started putting the chairs on the desks and began sweeping the floor while Li Bin took the mop outside to rinse it.

After sweeping two rows, he heard the familiar sound of high heels. Xu Lin tilted his head and saw that it was indeed Teacher Su’s long legs in black stockings.

“Nice.”

“What?”

“Legs.”

“Behave well today, and you can look all you want in the future.”

“Teacher Su, there’s a camera here, don’t say such things.”

Xu Lin laughed out loud. After him making a move on Bai Xiaoxiao, it seemed Teacher Su was now making advances towards him?

“The cameras in the classroom only record video.”

“Then please don’t touch me.”

“Who cares, just hurry up. My parents are waiting for you to come over for dinner.”

“But I need to finish here first, and then I have to go to the pet shop across the street. I found a stray cat and took it there for cleaning and a check-up.”

“A cat?”

“Yes, a little orange cat.”

“Then I’ll go check it out!”

With that, she walked away, her high heels clicking on the floor, leaving Xu Lin dumbfounded.

Damn, I’ve never seen you all get so excited about me! My Yunhe is still the best~

Ten minutes later, after finishing cleaning the classroom, Xu Lin and Li Bin locked the door.

“Can I come see your pet?”

“Li Bin, don’t you have a dog at home?”

“I don’t consider something as tall as me to be a pet.”

Seeing Li Bin’s serious expression, Xu Lin nodded solemnly.

When they arrived at the pet hospital, Xu Lin found that Bai Xiaoxiao, Ji Yun, Zhuo Yan, and Teacher Su were already there.

They were all gathered around the cage, their eyes shining as they looked at the little animal inside.

“Is this a Golden Retriever? It’s so big!”

“Yeah.”

“By the way, what breed is your Coco?”

“A mutt?” Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at the long, sausage-like Coco in her arms, unsure of its breed.

“That’s a Dachshund, and it seems to be quite purebred,” said a receptionist sitting at a computer.

“Aren’t Dachshunds supposed to have short hair? This one’s hair is so long, almost like a Golden Retriever’s.”

“No, there are long-haired varieties of Dachshunds too. Your orange cat is inside. Do you need a carrier?”

A vet in a white coat came out, holding a very tiny kitten.

“Yes, I’ll take one.”

Soon, the little orange kitten was brought out, its fur all fluffed up.

Now clean, its orange fur looked like flames, very beautiful.

“Meow!”

“It has been in the wild for too long and is quite aggressive. Be careful and build a bond slowly before trying to touch it,” the vet advised as the kitten frantically clawed at her rubber gloves. If it were bare skin, it would have left scratches.

Those who intended to pet the kitten hesitated. Xu Lin walked up to the kitten and extended a hand.

“Be careful, it might scratch you.”

But before she finished, the kitten jumped into his arms.

Everyone was stunned. The kitten even pressed its head against his hand, purring contentedly.

“Looks like this kitten really likes you. Do you have cat food at home?”

“No, please give me some. Honestly, I don’t know much about raising a cat. Bai Xiaoxiao?”

“Since it likes you, you should take care of it,” Bai Xiaoxiao said, waving her hand. The creature in her arms was baring its teeth at the cat.

She initially thought of bringing it home, but seeing this, a fight seemed inevitable.

Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao speak, Li Bin noticed her for the first time. Who is this girl? She’s so pretty in her school uniform…

Staring at her for two seconds, he suddenly realized it was Bai Xiaoxiao! She’s usually not this fair. Just a bit fairer, and she looks so stunning?

Wow, Xu Lin sure has an eye for pretty girls!

Why does he have such good luck with them? When will my spring come?

“I’ll take it home then. Not sure if Old Xu and Ms. Li will allow it. By the way, how much is it?”

“The checkup and cleaning are 800, the vaccine is 700, and 350 for supplements and half a month’s cat food.”

“I’ll give you a detailed bill later.”

“Alright.” Xu Lin took out his card, but the receptionist waved her hand.

“You topped up Ms. Jiang’s account earlier today, right? You used her money. She didn’t set a password or permissions.”

“She keeps some money in there to help those stray little lives.”

“The animals she rescues are kept here. When someone buys them, the money goes back into that account to help other strays that come here.”

“So, please don’t pay again. Accept her kindness.”

The receptionist’s words made everyone present feel Ms. Jiang’s sincere kindness.

Not the kind of fake people who pretend to adopt but actually sell animals. She might be someone who genuinely protects stray animals.

Her high moral standards continuously roll on, ensuring that stray little lives can have warm homes.

A few minutes later, Bai Xiaoxiao carried a dog carrier, and Xu Lin carried a cat carrier as they walked out.

“Didn’t expect to get a cat while on the way to class.”

“This must be fate.”

“By the way, you haven’t named it yet, right?” Zhuo Yan asked, reminding everyone that the kitten still didn’t have a name. They had been calling it “little orange cat.”

“How about Xiao Ju (Little Orange)?”

“Since it’s fate, call it Xiao Yuan (Little Fate)?”

“Yuzu works too.”

“Let’s let its owner name it.”

As everyone chimed in, Ji Yun looked at Xu Lin. Xu Lin scratched his head. He was terrible at naming.

But looking at its orange fur, he thought of his favorite tangerines. But there must be many orange cats named Tangerine or Citrus…

“Let’s call her Chenpi (Dried Tangerine Peel)!”

“Huh? What kind of name is that?”

“Chenpi is tangerine peel, and it’s quite mischievous. I think it fits! Little one, what do you think?”

Xu Lin lifted the carrier and looked at the kitten. Its clear eyes gazed back at him. As if understanding him, it nodded.

“Meow~”

“Alright, from now on, you’ll be called Chenpi.”
