1306 Temperament Change (1/2)
Even though the fat boy's reaction was slow, he knew that Zhang Zian was deliberately playing with him. Suddenly, his face turned red, and he looked like he was about to explode. Zhang Zian had played his cards well to tell him only when he was almost finished. The fat boy thought that with 180 words written today and an additional three to five more days of observation to wait for the hatching, he would be done.
”You… How could you do this?” he asked with hatred, pointing his fat finger at Zhang Zian's nose.
If Zhang Zian hadn't helped, it would not be that bad. However, having helped, he was now deliberately crushing his spirit. How could he not be furious?
”What did I do?” Zhang Zian feigned innocence.
The fat boy was beyond angry. ”I said it! I said it clearly! Our teacher let me observe the moth! Moth! The teacher also specifically emphasized that we are not to observe a butterfly! Why didn't you remind me that this is a butterfly?”
”Would you like me to remind you?” Zhang Zian smiled. ”You can observe, and so can I. When I have nothing to do in my store, I like to come out and see Swallowtail Butterfly larvae and talk to myself. Why did you take the initiative to write down what I said?”
”I…” The fat boy was stumped.
From the beginning, Zhang Zian had never said that he would help him with his observations. The fat boy had merely assumed that Zhang Zian was voluntarily helping him.
In fact, if this fat boy's attitude hadn't been so bad, Zhang Zian would have reminded him early on that this was not a moth. However, the boy knew nothing about manners. Not only was his attitude poor, he also talked poorly. He scolded his teacher and claimed he was silly. It was normal to be assigned observation work by a teacher. Also, the work was not something like observing the moon for 30 days or counting hundreds of millions of rice grains. What then was the basis of him scolding his teacher?
Since his parents could not teach him well, Zhang Zian would give him a little lesson to let him know that no one owed him anything.
The fat boy thought about it for a long time. In the end, he could not think of anything and merely felt very indignant. With tears in his eyes, he stomped hard on the ground and screamed, ”Why did you do this? Isn't it just a caterpillar? They are everywhere! I can find lots of them in other places! Don't you dare follow me!”
This simply didn't make sense. Why would Zhang Zian follow him?
With these words, the fat boy turned and walked away. From observing where he walked, it seemed that he was heading to the greenspace behind the pet shop. There were many trees in the greenspace. There were many caterpillars there in the summer, but could he distinguish which were butterfly larvae and which were moth larvae?
Anyway, this was not a matter of concern for Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian looked up again and glanced at the larvae before thinking about his shop. It was the weekend, and he would soon have customers.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a person pointing a mobile phone at him. They seemed to be taking a video.
”Hello… Is it… Mr. Manager?” Snowy asked, sticking her head out from the side of the mobile phone.
Zhang Zian didn't say anything.
”Hey, I am joking! Although physically, Mr. Manager has changed a lot, and I can't recognize you anymore, I see that the habit of bullying children is still the same!” Snowy said, laughing.
”I am not going to agree with you! When did I bully the children? This is an exception!” Zhang Zian argued. ”Also, ain't I just a little darker? That's all! You don't recognize me anymore?”
Snowy held the mobile phone in one hand, and the other hand held his chin and frowned. She stared at him for a while and said, ”Well…you did not change too much. You're only slightly darker and slightly thinner. But I feel your temperament changed.”
