Chi Qingyao was happily talking to Chi Qingya on the phone, but she had not heard her elder sister’s voice for a long time.
Relying on her sharp little ears, she could sense that something was wrong.
She naturally understood that her elder sister’s social skills were not very good and that she had not had any friends since they were children.
At the same time, she could tell through the cell phone that there was no one around Chi Qingya.
Chi Qingyao was filled with confusion regarding Chi Qingya’s unusual behavior.
“Sister?”
She called out softly, but no sound came from Chi Qingya’s end.
Something was wrong; it was nine parts out of ten wrong.
Since her elder sister started university, the time they spent chatting had decreased significantly.
After all, her sister was the type of person who was not very good at talking to others.
If it were not for Chi Qingyao taking the initiative to call her, it might have been difficult to even get in touch with her.
“Chi Qingya, are you drinking?” Chi Qingyao asked.
After a long silence, Chi Qingya finally gave a muddled reply, “No, I’m not.”
Even though Chi Qingya tried to defend herself, they had grown up together.
Chi Qingyao could tell whether she was lying the moment she heard her voice. Chi Qingya was definitely drinking.
In the past, Chi Qingya had always been a good girl who listened to her teachers and parents the most.
She would never even touch something like alcohol.
Now that she was drinking, she must have encountered some kind of problem.
Moreover, there was no one around her, so she was likely drinking alone in secret.
Chi Qingyao suddenly remembered what Chi Qingya had told her before about making a friend.
Looking at the current situation, she definitely was not out drinking with a friend; otherwise, it would not be this quiet.
That meant there must have been a conflict with that friend.
Chi Qingyao had long been curious about this friend of her elder sister.
How could a person as well-behaved and obedient as her sister do something wrong?
If something was wrong, it must be the friend’s fault.
“I’m hanging up now, Chi Qingya. Just wait for me to come and see what’s going on with you tomorrow,” Chi Qingyao said before hanging up.
S City was quite far from their home, so it was not easy to visit Chi Qingya. However, it did not matter.
The College Entrance Examination was coming up soon, and once it was over, she could go to her sister’s city.
She wanted to see exactly what her sister’s social circle was like.
She was incredibly curious about the person who could make her elder sister get drunk.
…
Su Li checked the time. Cat had already been studying for 40 minutes, yet she was still watching the video with great interest.
“You should let your eyes rest,” Su Li said.
Upon hearing Su Li’s voice, Cat obediently paused the video.
“Su Li, Su Li, those Idiom Stories you sent me are so interesting!” Cat said excitedly.
‘If Cat had a small tail, it would probably be wagging happily right now,’ Su Li thought. In the past, whenever Cat was happy, the little tail behind her would shake nonstop.
It was a pity that Cat was currently a person and not a cat-girl. It made Su Li lose some of the joy of petting and observing her.
“It’s best to be able to learn happily,” Su Li said in agreement.
Cat’s current enthusiasm for learning was very high, as if she wanted to spend all her time on her studies.
“Su Li, Su Li, why did that man in ‘Draw a Snake and Add Feet’ have to add that last stroke?” Cat asked, her eyes watery.
Sometimes, she still did not quite understand human thoughts. “He clearly could have won the reward first and then added that stroke to his drawing.”
“Perhaps it was because he was a bit too arrogant. When people are arrogant, they always end up doing unnecessary things,” Su Li explained.
Cat nodded, though she only half-understood.
“Then… I feel like that man in ‘Lord Ye’s Love of Dragons’ is so strange. He clearly liked them, but when a real dragon actually came, he was terrified. It’s so strange.”
Cat rested her small hand on her head as she spoke, looking confused.
She felt that although she had become a human, there was still a significant distance to cover before she could fully understand them.
“After all, the dragon he liked was not quite the same as the one in his imagination. People often add unnecessary filters to the things they like. In this way, there is a large gap between the fantasy and the reality. When they finally see the real thing, it loses its authenticity. And when they discover it’s different from what they imagined, the filter breaks quickly, and they realize they didn’t actually like it that much.”
Cat nodded again, still only half-understanding Su Li’s words.
She thought Su Li was amazing for knowing so many things that she did not understand at all.
She wondered when she would be as capable as Su Li.
However, Lielie felt that as long as she watched more videos, she would get closer to Su Li’s level.
Sooner or later, she would be just as amazing. She wanted to learn from Su Li and Miss Cat’s Pooper-Scooper to become a great person like them.
Cat Hunter felt that the human world was much more complex than she had imagined. Just learning Hanzi alone felt like it would take a very long time.
Fortunately, Su Li was there; otherwise, she really would not have known what to do on her own.
Thanks to Su Li, she did not have to spend a long time just carrying trays or doing other labor, and she was able to learn how to use a cell phone.
Cat looked at Su Li, feeling fortunate. She almost didn’t know how to repay her!
Remembering the fruits she had bought, Cat quickly ran into the kitchen.
She took the fruits out, carefully peeled them, sliced the meat, and placed them on a plate before bringing them out to Su Li.
When Su Li had treated her to a meal before, she had made that dish with a bunch of fruits mixed together, and it had been delicious.
However, Cat Hunter did not quite know how to make it.
So, she ran back to Su Li’s side and waited quietly for her to finish what she was doing. When Su Li looked at her, Cat said excitedly, “Su Li, Su Jin, what was that thing you made last time? The one with lots of fruit?”
As Su Li watched Cat gesturing with her small hands, she quickly understood what Cat Hunter meant.
Cat Hunter was talking about the Fruit Medley she had made for her before.
Since she had not made many things for Cat Hunter, the only thing involving fruit was the Fruit Medley.
Su Li followed Cat into the kitchen.
Seeing that Su Li intended to help make it together, Cat felt a bit embarrassed.
“Su Li, Su Li, how about you just give me directions and I’ll do it myself?”
She had originally wanted Su Li to relax, but if Su Li came to help, wouldn’t it end up being Su Li who did the work?
“It’s alright, I’m not short on time. Besides, if I do it once while you watch, it will be easier for you to learn than if I just gave you instructions,” Su Li replied.
