Ellie stared at the pink cup on the table for a while, then saw he had sent another message.
[William]: It looks good, it suits you.
She stared at this sentence for a long time, not quite understanding what he meant, and saw William sent another message.
[William]: No need to bring the book for me, I don't like reading.
Ellie thought about what he said today, who watched with you, and they ended up sitting together and watching for so long. She packed up the book, preparing to bring it to him tomorrow.
[Ellie]: Is the kitten you sent last time the one you raise?
William quickly took a photo and sent it over.
[William]: Picture.
[William]: Are you talking about it?
The little black cat had very bright eyes, held in the young man's arms, looking very well-behaved. William seemed to have just taken a bath, wearing only a white short-sleeved shirt, with distinct knuckles on his hands.
[Ellie]: Yes, it's very cute.
[William]: It's quite well-behaved, insisted on following me home, so I raised it.
Ellie thought of the cat she had raised before, which hadn't been raised for long. Later, when Edward and Jennifer came back, they gave her cat away.
She didn't cry or make a fuss, she just asked Jennifer, "Why give away my cat?"
At that time, Jennifer said, "I don't know where the kitten came from, after a bath, I don't know how many viruses it carried, it's dirty, and it sheds hair, it's a hassle, so I gave it away for you."
Ellie was silent for a while before she asked her, "Where did you send it?"
"Lost it."
"Where did you lose it?"
Jennifer mentioned a location, and saw Ellie push the door and go out.
"What are you going to do?"
"Looking for the cat."
Ellie searched for her cat in that place for a very long time, but she didn't find it.
She didn't understand why she wasn't often home. When she came home, she had to give away the kitten she liked.
Later, Jennifer bought her other pet cats to make her happy, but Ellie didn't accept them.
Ellie was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.
[Ellie]: I used to raise a cat, but my mom threw it away.
[William]: Poor thing.
[William]: My dad doesn't like small animals because that woman didn't like them before.
[Ellie]: Then you...
[William]: I live alone.
[William]: I can raise whatever I want.
[William]: Envy? Little classmate.
[Ellie]: Envy.
[William]: I might as well let you touch my cat reluctantly if there's a chance.
[Ellie]: Then I really thank you.
[William]: It doesn't sound like you're thanking me?
[Ellie]: You're mistaken.
[William]: Oh.
Ellie was inexplicably amused by his words, took out the photo above, and then saved it as the chat background for the two.
She thought of the cup today and was ready to transfer the money to him.
[Ellie]: How much was the cup today, I'll transfer it to you.
[William]: No need, just buy me a bottle of water.
Ellie didn't say anything more, preparing to read for a while before going to sleep. She just opened The Little Prince and saw William's message coming again.
[William]: Still planning to study?
[Ellie]: Not studying, just reading for a while.
[William]: Alright.
Ellie put her phone aside and then opened The Little Prince again.
Unconsciously, she read until after midnight.
Ellie rubbed her eyes, put the book aside, saw the message William sent, and replied with a voice message in a daze, then fell asleep.
William was taken aback by the voice message, then clicked on it. He heard Ellie's sleepy goodnight, her voice was originally soft, and with sleepiness, her voice was softer.
William inexplicably played it again.
He glanced at the message he sent above.
[William]: Goodnight, sleep early, little prude.
Coco heard the voice message and meowed a few times. William looked up at it: "What are you meowing for? I didn't say goodnight to you."
Coco jumped onto the bed and then nestled into William's arms.
William laughed at it: "You're quite good at finding a comfortable spot for yourself."
...
The next morning.
Ellie was awakened by SuSan's knock on the door.
She responded, saying: "I'm getting up now."
After brushing her teeth and packing up her things, she also packed two bottles of milk and was ready to go to school.
As soon as she sat down in class, the bell for class rang.
William looked at her with interest and said: "Hey, little classmate, you almost missed class today, not like your style at all."
Ellie glanced at him without saying a word, then took out the book from her drawer.
William said: "Now you can ignore people, little classmate."
Ellie turned her head and said to him: "You can actually memorize some novels, they're quite interesting."
"Like what?"
Ellie took out the book from his drawer and opened it, saying: "This one is quite good."
William glanced at the name of the novel and said: "Little prude starts persuading people to study again."
Ellie ignored him and continued to memorize her own book.
William glanced at the novel and found he didn't know some of the words after just a few lines.
Boring.
At the end of the morning self-study period.
Ellie took out The Little Prince from her bag and put it on William's desk, then took out a bottle of milk and also put it on his desk.
William stared at the milk on the table for a while, then suddenly realized: "Changed tactics? Now you're persuading people to study by stuffing them with food?"
Ellie explained: "Didn't you say to buy you water?"
William remembered what he said yesterday, holding the bottle of milk, and said: "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Ellie took out another bottle of milk and put it on her own desk.
Hao Ming came over with breakfast and said to William: "William, breakfast."
William took the things from him and said: "I'll transfer the money to you later."
"This is the breakfast from my home, no need to transfer money to me." Hao Ming said, then handed another one to Daniel and said: "Want some? Daniel."
Daniel took the breakfast from him and said: "Sure, why not?"
Hao Ming said: "Ten yuan."
Daniel: "Did you think my ears were blind just now?"
Hao Ming: "Ten yuan."
Daniel: "Then my ears are blind now."
Hao Ming: "Get lost, Daniel, I'm leaving."
Daniel took a bite of the soup dumpling, then turned back to William and said: "William, it's quite tasty."
William "Hmm"ed.
Daniel casually asked Ellie: "Have you had breakfast, Ellie?"
Ellie said: "I ate at home."
Daniel grinned, then noticed that the milk on both of their desks was the same, and both were strawberry-flavored.
He hadn't processed this information in his mind, but his mouth already said: "William, Ellie, your milk is the same."
Ellie said: "I brought it."
Daniel "Oh"ed, turned his head, and then felt like he had discovered some remarkable information, and couldn't help but look back at the two of them, one glance wasn't enough, so he looked again and again.
William looked up and said: "If you keep turning around, I'll break your neck."
"Okay, William." Daniel turned around directly.
