My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 86

Fu Huixing casually stepped forward, positioning himself just behind Shi Li.

He pushed the pink suitcase he was dragging to align with Shi Li, resting one hand on it while standing half a step behind her. This posture almost seemed as if he were embracing her from afar.

The pastel pink suitcase stood out starkly in the Japanese-style hallway, quickly drawing Feng Yunhe's attention.

This suitcase clearly didn't belong to Fu Huixing; its true owner was obvious, especially given the two large simplified Chinese characters on the cartoon tag on its side, which proclaimed the suitcase's rightful owner.

Fu Huixing's usual gaze carried a hint of barely perceptible challenge, unseen by Shi Li who had her back to him, but noticed by Feng Yunhe as their eyes met.

Shi Li's voice dripped with honey, "What are you up to, Brother Yunhe?"

Feng Yunhe noticed the tense demeanor of the young man opposite him and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Just going downstairs for a dip in the hot springs."

Shi Li nodded, "What a pity, I already have plans, so I can't join Brother Yunhe in the hot springs."

The only way they could bathe together would be in a couple's bath.

She was truly acting like a brazen flirt, publicly teasing a man. Feng Yunhe's smug expression froze on his face, cracking like dried clay.

But this was merely an appetizer. As a devoted fangirl, Shi Li felt that saying outrageous things was perfectly reasonable. So she gave Feng Yunhe a shy smile, her gaze falling on the part of his chest not covered by the bathrobe, "Brother Yunhe, I think you look best without any clothes on."

Feng Yunhe: ...He shouldn't have been nice to her, but he really couldn't help it.

Before Feng Yunhe could utter a word of reproach, Shi Li had already dragged Fu Huixing into the elevator.

Once inside, Shi Li immediately released Fu Huixing's hand, feeling that her earlier action had been somewhat inappropriate. She pretended to busy herself with her phone.

Besides, flirting with the opposite sex in front of classmates was somewhat embarrassing.

The classmates from Class 1, Year 1: No worries, there have been too many embarrassing things, not just this one.

Focusing on her phone, Shi Li quickly freed herself from the awkwardness.

[Still, I really shouldn't imagine him running around naked. No matter how I picture it, it's a bit hard on the eyes.]

Shi Li's inner thoughts rang out, but Fu Huixing seemed not to hear, showing no reaction. His gaze was fixed on the wrist Shi Li had grabbed, lost in thought for a long while.

He didn't even react when Shi Li mentally called Feng Yunhe hard on the eyes.

After exiting the elevator, Shi Li and Fu Huixing were to wait in the hotel lobby for their classmates.

Due to Pei Nuo's incident, the previously quiet hot spring resort had suddenly become extremely popular, with even the number of guests waiting to check in at the lobby increasing exponentially.

As a result, almost all the sofas in the lobby were occupied by guests waiting to check in, leaving only a double sofa near the door unoccupied due to its distance from the front desk.

Although Shi Li was quite familiar with Fu Huixing by now, she felt a bit awkward sitting next to him on the sofa.

Fortunately, after Shi Li sat down, Fu Huixing simply stood upright next to the sofa.

As Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief, she hypocritically waved at Fu Huixing, "Come sit down, standing must be tiring."

"It's fine, I'm not tired."

Shi Li found Fu Huixing a hundred times more likeable than before.

[What a nice young man]

Fu Huixing unexpectedly received a "nice guy" card. Before their classmates came downstairs, he carefully tucked the card into his pocket.

After the bus returned to the city, Shi Li and Fu Huixing got off near the school. Because they acted so openly, although others gossiped a bit behind their backs, no one suspected they were up to anything unseemly.

After all, Shi Li's image as hopelessly in love with Feng Yunhe was still firmly in place. Even if someone had doubts before, that convoluted "Brother Yunhe~" at lunch today had left quite an impression.

The person on duty at the pet hospital today was a short boy wearing glasses, not the one with the feather duster.

Seeing him, Shi Li introduced herself, explaining that she was the owner of the boarded tabby cat and wanted to see the kitten.

The boy nodded somewhat blankly upon hearing Shi Li's introduction, then led her to the room where the cats were kept.

Half of one wall in the room was filled with cats. Hearing the door open, they thought it was the caretaker coming to feed them and started meowing enthusiastically.

Shi Li's eyes couldn't take in anything else; each eye seemed to have "meow" written in it.

[I want to live here!]

She controlled the excitement in her eyes as the staff member walked to a carrier, opened the door, and a fat cat quickly darted out. He then took out several kittens one by one.

The tabby cat climbed up Fu Huixing's pants, and Shi Li could hardly recognize it.

The last time she saw her, she was skin and bones, but now she had a layer of fat all around.

During this time, although the pet hospital had been sending her pictures and videos of the cats every day, this tabby had hardly ever appeared on camera. Each time Shi Li looked at the pictures, she was struck by the beauty of the three kittens, almost forgetting about this grumpy cat that didn't like her.

So when she suddenly saw the change in this cat, Shi Li was shocked.

"She'll soon turn from a cat into a car."

Fu Huixing suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth as the staff member adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and explained, "This cat was a stray before, probably living from hand to mouth, often not getting enough to eat. When she came, she was skin and bones. She's afraid there won't be a next meal after this one, so she eats a lot of cat food each time, which is why there's such a big change."

Fu Huixing grabbed the tabby by the scruff of her neck, pulling her off himself, but he didn't put her in Shi Li's arms either, just holding her by the scruff.

Strangely, this tabby was particularly clingy with Fu Huixing but completely indifferent to Shi Li, while Fu Huixing seemed not to like this tabby cat much.

Shi Li watched with some admiration for his arm strength. Didn't he find it heavy to hold such a big fat cat for so long?

Shi Li looked on enviously, "Let me pet her."

"This cat is still wild and might hurt you. Go pet those little kittens, they won't harm you."

Shi Li thought he had a point. An old, fat cat past its prime certainly couldn't compare to the cuteness of little kittens, so she went over to pet the kittens instead.

The tabby cat in Fu Huixing's hand was particularly attached to him. Even after being put down, she didn't run over to ask Shi Li for pets, but kept circling around Fu Huixing.

Shi Li stroked the kittens while musing, "These kittens have grown quite big and look very healthy. I should be able to take them all home, right?"

The tabby cat meowed a couple of times around Fu Huixing, and he opened a pack of cat treats to feed her. The fat cat was eating eagerly when she realized her human hadn't squeezed out the treat as usual; the part that had been squeezed out was long gone.

She meowed in protest a couple of times, but failed to attract her human's attention to squeeze out more treat for her. So she simply took matters into her own paws, baring her teeth and gnawing on it forcefully.
