Weather: Clear
The invitation I received earlier indicated a mid-March date, and I felt there was still plenty of time. However, Wu Yunfei insisted that time was of the essence.
“You’re going to a fashion show! The runway is like a battlefield, not a child’s play!” he emphasized.
It was rare to see him so serious. Unable to resist teasing him, I chuckled, “I’m not part of the fashion scene, and I won’t be walking the runway. I’ll just be a human backdrop there.”
“With my designs, you won’t be just a backdrop!” he seemed confident in his work. “You’ll be my mobile display, and I’m counting on you to perform well and bring in some big contracts for me!”
QAQ Just when I thought I escaped the exploitation of my dad, now I have to do free work for this guy.
Why is my luck like this?
I wished him good luck and asked if there’s anything he needed.
He wasn’t shy about it. While saying it’s not much, he handed me a long shopping list.
“Are you sure this isn’t too much?” I asked.
A whole ten pages of materials list!
It’s almost as thick as the reports I make!
Facing my questioning, he innocently shrugged and said, “I have no choice. You don’t have much here, and without the necessary equipment, we can’t get started.”

His tone sounded a bit melancholic. I suddenly realized that except for the few days during the holidays when he went home, he’s been staying at my place, seemingly avoiding something.
“Are you still at odds with your family?” I asked.
I originally wanted to ask him directly if he was worried about not finding a wife, but he warned me not to interfere too much recently, so I changed my wording.
“Are you really concerned about me?” he didn’t answer my question but asked in return.
Isn’t that obvious? We’re childhood friends!
If it were some random person on the street, I wouldn’t bother!
“Family shouldn’t hold grudges overnight. Let bygones be bygones,” I said.
He still refused to tell me what exactly happened, and I couldn’t resolve whatever issue he had. I could only say some dry words.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t mess up… it’s just that there are still some feelings I haven’t figured out how to express at home,” he said.
I was surprised by his appearance.
This guy has never been the most obedient since childhood, often getting chased by his dad. But most of the time, it was just eating without remembering to get hit. He had a very good attitude when admitting his mistakes, but when it came to his lifestyle, he just continued as he pleased.
A person like that has something he can’t say?
I began to wonder what kind of trouble he had gotten into, making him so scared that he didn’t dare go home.
But since he wasn’t chased here by his dad, his feelings probably haven’t been exposed yet, right?
“If you’re not comfortable going back, I can help you move the equipment here,” I suggested after some thought. “After all, it’s something familiar, maybe it can inspire your creativity?”
I was just trying to be helpful, but he suddenly changed his expression and said angrily, “No! If you dare enter my studio, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!”
(╬▔皿▔) Am I his competitor? Is he afraid I’ll steal his ideas?
Or does he have something he doesn’t want others to see in his studio?
Date: February 24th
Weather: Hazy
The sky was hazy, indicating poor air quality.
And here I was, forced to wear a mask to go out for a walk in this weather…
The reason was simple: Wu Yunfei said I was distracting him by moving around in front of him, affecting his design thinking. So, he suggested I go out for some exercise to make sure I can fit into the clothes he’s designing.
QAQ Why does this guy suspect I won’t fit into his designed clothes? Although I don’t have eight-pack abs, I still have muscle definition! Does he have to describe me as a fat otaku who eats and waits for death?
I walked on the road, bored, thinking of a place to kill time.
At that moment, I suddenly saw something moving in a corner.
I don’t know what I was thinking at that moment, but I walked over there unintentionally.
It was a cat!
I actually found a cat on the road!
The little one was the size of a palm, but it was very fierce. When it saw someone approaching, its fur stood on end, threatening with bared teeth. However, maybe because it was scared, it didn’t run away.
I crouched down and waved to it. After hesitating for a moment, the little thing took a few steps toward me.
It was incredibly cute!
Even now, I can’t believe that I was enchanted by a little stray cat to the point of revealing a silly smile.
I originally thought there might be a mother cat nearby, but it didn’t dare to approach because of someone. So, I purposely walked a few steps away.
But after waiting for a while, no other cats approached, and this little one still cowered in
Sorry, I don’t know how long ago you posted this because I just got my reading list back… but I think this chapter is cut off?
