Strange Life of a Cat

Isn’t this the Zhongyan who always squats in a corner in a daze, goes to the construction site to carry bricks behind his back in the third year of high school, and holds back until a dark horse kicks over the whole school in the college entrance examination? Come to think of it, this guy should be a junior by now.

Zheng Tan really didn't expect to meet this kid in this place.

Zhong Yan's eyes were full of doubts, even if he felt a little similar, but Chuhua City was so far away from the capital, he didn't know the man with a backpack and a bad attitude. Zheng Tan was still dressed like a white ball, so he didn't It's easy to recognize, but now it's even harder to be sure.

In fact, Zhong Yan didn't think it was the cat he knew, but the cat's expression was too familiar, even though he hadn't seen him for more than two years, among the cats Zhong Yan had seen, that was the most special one. Look, is it still waving its paw at itself?

Is it that one?

Do you want to ask this person?

While Zhong Yan was hesitating, Fang Wenjie, who had already got the reference book, turned around, saw a man standing behind him, staring at the backpack, and glared, What are you looking at! Have you never seen a cat?

Fang Wenjie turned around to leave, but just after taking two steps, he heard a voice behind him: Heitan?

Hearing this, Fang Wenjie stopped and turned to look at the person just now.

It's really black charcoal? Zhong Yan's eyes lit up, and the unhappiness of being squeezed out of the book just now dissipated.

You know it? Fang Wenjie asked suspiciously, pointing to the backpack on his back.

Yes, but isn't it in Chuhua City? Zhong Yan wondered in his heart whether the cat had been sold to the capital, but didn't everyone say that the cat was covered by someone when he was on the construction site?

Hearing Zhong Yan say Chuhua City, Fang Wenjie was a little less defensive, but he was not sure, so he took out his mobile phone and called Fang Mengmeng to ask her to come over. The bookstore is too big and there are many people, so he couldn't find her for a while. It is convenient to contact by phone.

However, even the Jiao family may not be able to recognize all the people Zheng Tan knows. The Jiao family doesn't know many people they met during the walk, let alone Fang Mengmeng. The two surnamed Fang can only tell whether they are really acquaintances through Zheng Tan's attitude.

Fang Wenjie's plan this afternoon is to buy books, and then sleep in the bookstore. It's too cold outside to move. When he ordered, he went straight to the restaurant to eat. Now when he met Zhong Yan, he would chat with others boredly. He was very curious about Zhong Yan. Will meet that black cat. As for Fang Mengmeng, she came here for a while and then ran away. She found a few books she was interested in, so she should read more. Someone left the resting seat in the corner, Fang Wenjie rushed over immediately, and occupied four seats before others sat down, and the empty seats were occupied by bags and books.

Zhong Yan came here today with his friends. When he was a freshman, he met two friends who worked part-time in a fast food restaurant. They were from different schools. Today this person is one of them, and the other one graduated this year. Zhong Yan's tutoring work was also introduced by this friend. In the morning, he went to a senior high school student's home to do tutoring. In the afternoon when he had nothing to do, Zhong Yan and his friend who also worked as a part-time tutor came here to look for tutoring books for senior high school students.

Many people say that the college entrance examination is not a fair platform, full of regional discrimination, Zhong Yan doesn't care, he has passed the exam now, and he took the tutoring books for the third year of high school just to tutor another struggling senior high school student. There are also differences in the college entrance examination systems in different provinces, and the policy preferences of question types must be studied. I have been a tutor for two years. I didn’t get used to it in the first year as a part-time tutor, but it got better in the second year. Zhong Yan has never been a rigid person. He knows how to adapt, can prescribe the right medicine, and has a good reputation. Also happy.

Zhong Yan and his classmate were chatting up a girl, but after seeing the situation here, they came over, and the three chatted quickly.

One said, It's hard work, I have to do tutoring as soon as the holiday is over, and the other two nodded, Yes, every time we go to tutoring, those students look at us as if they are enemies in life.

Zheng Tan was listening to them, and from what they said, Zhong Yan didn't go home after he came to the capital, and he earned his tuition and living expenses by himself. It seemed that his relationship with his family was still at a freezing point. I haven't seen Zhong Yan for two years.

Hearing that Zhong Yan was a super dark black horse in the college entrance examination, he flew directly from the average level of the class to the top three in the school, and slapped some people in the face. Fang Wenjie was very excited. The divine beast that slaps the face is much more pleasing to the eye even with Zhong Yan.

Although Zhong Yan didn't mention his own affairs very much, he would meet his classmates in high school in the capital, and he had heard about people who were close to Zhong Yan, so when his friend mentioned it, Fang Wenjie got excited and talked about this topic. I just opened it, and I can't even close it.

While chatting, Fang Wenjie thought to himself, his mother is currently looking for a tutor during the winter vacation, instead of finding someone he doesn't like, it's better to just let Zhong Yan and the others go there, because there are still people to talk to when they are bored, Fang Wenjie felt that Zhong Yan and Zhong Yan were very interesting during the chat just now, unlike those tutors his mother hired before, who always said I am a genius, My words are more correct than the reference answers in reference books, What did I say? What do you have to listen to? Although those people seldom showed it on their faces, Fang Wenjie could tell that those people thought that way in their hearts.

Fang Wenjie also brought up his thoughts, not joking, but serious.

I'll forget it. It's okay to fool people around. For real counseling, you should go to Zhong Yan. This guy is also from Beijing University, and Zhong Yan doesn't go home during the Chinese New Year. He has time. Zhong Yan's friend said. He could see that Fang Wenjie's family was in good condition. Although he would definitely earn a lot of money by taking this job, he also knew that the better the family, the more parents valued the school. I can only decline politely, so as to save myself from being kicked out by my parents when I get the chance.

Not going home? That's just right, Zhong Yan, you won't have to pick up other tutoring jobs during the winter vacation, don't worry, my mother will definitely pay for it generously! Fang Wenjie was right, his mother is indeed generous to tutors, except In addition to the remuneration negotiated when signing the contract, there are also red envelopes given from time to time, and the money in the red envelope will never be much less than the remuneration stated in the contract. This is one of the reasons why Fang Wenjie dislikes those tutors. As a result, you still have the face to get a red envelope? So Fang Wenjie also had an excuse to find fault with those tutors. The last tutor was scolded by him directly. After all, most intellectuals have thin skins.

Zheng Tan felt that the members of the Fang family seemed unreliable on the surface, but in fact they were not. Fang Shaokang was an excellent example. And as Fang Shaokang's nephew, Zheng Tan didn't think Fang Wenjie was a stupid person either. Take the matter of asking for a tutor as an example. Fang Wenjie did not send out the invitation on impulse. The so-called pleasing to the eye is naturally one of the reasons. There were a few study questions, all of which were solved by Zhong Yan, and he explained it in a simple, straightforward and easier-to-understand way, which made Fang Wenjie very satisfied.

Fang Wenjie never felt that he was stupid. He found it difficult to understand what the previous senior tutors said, mainly because those people used a large number of technical terms every time they spoke. , Can you die in a simple way? Are elegance and vulgarity really so distinct? Fang Wenjie listened impatiently.

Hey, you really did the right thing with bringing this cat out! It's not in vain for him to carry such a heavy bag for so long. Fang Wenjie was very happy. If this matter is resolved, he will not live in darkness and oppression this winter vacation.

Compared with Fang Wenjie's happy heart, Zhong Yan's heart is much more complicated. His friend can see it, and he can naturally think that he is still very confident in tutoring Fang Wenjie. He knows that this person is not stupid, but a little rebellious. If he takes this job, he will not have to worry about next year's tuition, accommodation, and living expenses. , and according to the general situation, he would not have had such an opportunity originally. If he hadn't met that cat today and talked to Fang Wenjie, even if he was in Beijing University, he might not be able to win people's eyes if he came to recommend himself. You can see the disdain in his eyes when he mentioned his previous tutoring.

Glancing at the black cat dressed like a polar bear stretching its neck on the chair next to it, Zhong Yan thought about it, and it seemed that every time he met this cat, he was lucky.

Meet old acquaintances in other lands.

Zhong Yan finally understands the reason why the ancients put this among the four great joys in life. This kind of mood can only be deeply understood when one is truly in that situation.

Even though this is the capital city, Zhong Yan still misses his family a lot of the time, and feels sad when he hears Moonlight in the City from more than ten years ago. Every time I talk to my family, I am not very happy. He hasn’t been home for two years, and he didn’t go back during the holidays. He just makes a phone call to report that he is safe, and then continues to work part-time to earn tuition fees. The studies are also heavy. Can't loose. Before I officially set foot in the society, I felt that my shoulders were heavy.

It can be said that the past two years of coming to Beijing to study have not been easy. classmate? Naturally, I have also met. There are many schools in Beijing, and I have met classmates from junior high or high school a few times when I go out frequently, but the relationship is not very good after all. There are also two high school classmates who do not like Zhong Yan, a dark horse in the college entrance examination. It was also cynicism, and then everyone went their separate ways. Not old knowledge.

Dark horse? Be it. But no matter how big the dark horse is, it will become unremarkable in the big capital full of talents.

Everyone wants to soar into the sky, but how many people actually rush up? Zhong Yan once thought that he would be one of them after the college entrance examination, but after encountering some realistic blows, his confidence weakened a lot. The world is wonderful, but also very helpless, how to go, how to continue to go after bumps and bumps, go through this period, maybe there will be a better future.

After staying in the bookstore for more than two hours, Zheng Tan saw several good-looking girls, including three mixed races, and a star wearing a hat and scarf covering half of his face, but the star was being recognized by others. When he came out, he ran away quickly, and when the people in the store chased him out, he was already out of sight.

Fang Wenjie checked the time, called Fang Mengmeng back, and dragged Zhong Yan to have dinner with his friends.

The target restaurant is a building with a relatively retro architectural style, like an ancient restaurant, with red lanterns hanging outside.

When walking towards the door, someone came out of the parking lot on the side.

Little Jiezi!

Fang Wenjie, who was rushing in with a shout, stopped, looked over, and immediately smiled and said, Hey, Brother Qinshou, when did you return to the capital?

Two days ago, I came here to do something. As he spoke, Qin Tao took out the phone that kept ringing, It's here, it's time to cheer you up! Hurry up and order first. I'm starving to death...

Qin Tao was talking, when he looked up, he found the cat's head protruding from the backpack behind Fang Wenjie's back. Ignoring the urging on the phone, he said, Second idiot, come and see Arctic Cat!
