Yuan Zi went home interstate for the new year His mother was alone in the home state This year, he must keep the old lady co were helping to look after the coive a hand
However, lately, when Zheng Tan took his walk downstairs, he overheard the oldwith others about Papa Jiao This group of almost retired but still influential elderly professors had access to information that wasTan hid by the side and eavesdropped
Papa Jiao was gradually rising to the liht, mainly because of a brilliant research student that he had instructed On the annual academic convention before the new year, Yi Xin's perfor an iazine that had made him undoubtedly first on the convention There weren't many in the school who could compete, this made the two other equals' top student from the department fade in color
Nohen everyoneup assistant professor Jiao Without him, there wouldn't be the current prospect of Yi Xin; this was a coe So, assistant professor Jiao now had a co momentum to the two returnee professors that the department had hired this year
Then speculations began to start as people in the yard tried to figure out when the word ”assistant” from the title would be relories, then the school ht break the rules and make an exception to promote him To be qualified as a professor in Chu Hua University, other than the bare minimum requirement of articles, there was also another important condition which is to have overseas experience
Papa Jiao caraduated with Ma since, so he had no experience researching overseas Recently, Papa Jiao had spent a lot of ti in front of the computer probably because of this, to prepare for this ”overseas experience” After all, a professor's benefits were, in every aspect, better than an associate professor's, and they had more freedom to do as they wish
Zheng Tan snuggled beside the couch, rolled over and continued to lie down in another position
Due to the incidents of lost cats in the neighborhood, Zheng Tan didn't go out any Tan would curl up on the couch with Jiao Yuan and Youzi, watching the ”Beast Wars: Transfor Tan, it wasn't that difficult to sit through Lie on the couch thinking so, and get ready to eat when he woke up
Jiao Yuan changed the DVD after a few episodes finished playing Zheng Tan wasn't interested in the content in the cartoon He had watched it before, and didn't want to watch it a second time It was bound to be im Tan was conte about was, if Papa Jiao left the country for a year or tould happen at horeater burden on Mama Jiao… No, there was still Yi Xin and the new research students that would come after the new year who could help…
The yellow cheetah in the television suddenly leaped up, transfor, ”Cheetor, transform!”
Zheng Tan was thinking in his ht by surprise by Jiao Yao, who lifted him up
”Black cat warrior, transform!” Jiao Yuan yelled
Zheng Tan: ”…” Transform a pile of poop on your face! You little wretch!
Waving away Jiao Yuan's hands, Zheng Tan stepped on his pants as he crossed over, lying next to Youzi, and paid no heed to Jiao Yuan, as currently hyperactive Youzi could also help Zheng Yuan scratch his chin and smooth out his furs while she watched the television
Due to the city ban on fireworks, there was hardly any firecrackers that could be heard There is no sense in the new year without firecrackers; just like cooking without salt, dull Although in the last few years, the policy had slackened a little Soanized firework locations Soht fireworks, just like the central departanized firework lighting on the sixth Papa Jiao said that when it was time, he would take the two kids there As to the days before the sixth, Jiao Yuan would have to live through the craving of watching and lighting the firecrackers
Next door, Qu went to his parents' house for the new year, and probably wouldn't return before the celebration ended When he left, he carried a few suitcases of things, all of them computers or relevant
”General” left a while back with its owner to the South Here, the winters were cold and humid; it didn't like it, so they would probably return at the beginning of spring
Zheng Tan didn't havethe new year, or how he had spent it in the past years now that he recalled Perhaps lounging out in an internet café or going crazy with a gang of bad associates Now that he atte felt hazy and unrealistic
Who would have iined that he would wake up as a cat instead of a human?
Not long after the New Year's Eve dinner, Wei Lin, who stayed in the coreet ”Happy new year” Papa Jiao had picked up the phone, and after they finished their conversation, Papa Jiao asked Zheng Tan to come and listen to the phone
In confusion, Zheng Tan hopped onto the desk as Papa Jiao placed the receiver next to his feet Zheng Tan move in and listened, Wei Lin's voice transreet you, happy new year!”
Zheng Tan tugged his ears and let out a deep breath fro that he knows
”Why don't you give a cry? Don't brush me off like this, it's the new year” Wei Lin said fro in, otherwise, I will lose my face”
Zheng Tan paused for a while, then gave a respecting call, ”Roar!”
”Ha ha ha ha, Wei Lin, turns out you are talking to a dog I thought it was Mr Jiao's child! But this dog does remind me of the wolf hound from the troop that only kne to pick up a phone”
The voice of Wei Lin's coh the other end of the receiver
”It's not a dog, I a to a cat” Wei Lin explained, then turned to the speaker and said, ”Charcoal, they don't believe me How about a meow?”
