Then she rubbed its silky fur: "What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll treat you!"
Doudou was originally too lazy to pay her any attention, but when she mentioned food, its pretty little head turned around, and its big eyes with double eyelids even sparkled. Seeing this expression, what else did Hua Yan not understand?
She thought for a moment and said to it, "Okay, I get it. But it’s not good to eat too greasy at night. So, I’ll do my homework first, and then I’ll cook for you."
Luckily there’s no class today; otherwise, she would have had to rush to a tutoring class. Previously, teachers would come to her house to tutor her, but she didn’t like outsiders coming to her home, so they changed it to her going to the tutoring class. For this, they even refunded about seven thousand yuan, since the price of one-on-one at home and in class is different. Of course, this was a price Aunt Zhao helped negotiate. With the seven thousand, plus the refund from previous English classes, she managed to pay sixteen thousand yuan to cover Aunt Zhao’s annual fee.
Auntie felt embarrassed to accept it, but Hua Yan insisted. After all, Aunt Zhao was willing to face household pressure to be her guardian, and Hua Yan shouldn’t take everything for granted—two thousand was already the lowest price.
Of course, Auntie never treated her unfairly and would always bring her some food, drinks, or necessities when she got off work, never empty-handed.
Actually, come to think of it, being cared for feels pretty good.
She finished her homework in an hour because her handwriting was much better than the original owner’s. Yet, to not draw attention, she deliberately made it uglier. Her English was much better, and with a bit of effort, she could write neatly and nicely. Now her homework was often passed around by the teacher as an example.
Hua Yan wasn’t a poor student herself, and based on her original foundation, she improved just a tiny bit, not outshining to take top positions. As long as she stayed within the top ten in the class, that was fine, but she needed to do better in exams. With elementary graduation approaching, getting a spot in key schools without exams would be ideal, so she had to take every test seriously.
Since she decided to study steadily, by day, she just had to be a diligent primary student.
For dinner, she made meat sauce noodles. Although having noodles at night could be fattening, she was growing and didn’t care about that.
Since Doudou didn’t like dog food, its meals would be the same as hers in the future.
After eating the meat sauce noodles, the dog had sauce all over its face, and she had to prepare a towel to clean it up.
After cleaning its face, she tried dragging it to the bathroom for a bath, but it didn’t cooperate at all and splashed her with water. Hua Yan was so exhausted that she had to give up, thinking she might as well take it to the pet shop on the weekend for a bath!
In the end, the dog didn’t get a bath, but she ended up sweating profusely. After her bath, since it was still raining outside and she couldn’t go for a walk, she spread a yoga mat in the living room, turned on the stereo, played some soothing music, and practiced yoga for over an hour. This hour naturally produced significant results, with her forehead slightly breaking a sweat. But she had to admit, kids with dance foundations were indeed more suitable for practicing yoga.
After exercising, it was nine o’clock. She settled Doudou, closed her room door, and went inside to read various classics her mom had previously bought for her and made reading notes. She increasingly felt that reading truly made one more self-disciplined and ambitious. At ten o’clock, she turned into a glowing Persian cat.
Standing in front of the mirror, she looked quite cute, her satisfaction soaring before she quickly entered the space to start cultivation.
Actually, the early stages of cultivation were nothing more than memorization. The "Cat Manual" included various essentials about the Cat World and the Human World. After all, this was a world where demons and humans coexisted, so cats had to understand humans to integrate better.
She was originally human, and after transforming into a demon, things became easier. So memorizing the "Cat Manual" wasn’t too challenging for her, and she progressed faster than Liang Tian had imagined. Liang Tian even praised her, saying that if she kept this up, she might enter the Cultivation Secret Realm before turning twelve.
Finally, the weekend arrived, and early in the morning, she enthusiastically took Doudou to the mall to buy a photography stand.
Because there was a video camera at home.
This was one of Mom’s hobbies; she loved taking her on trips during vacations. So, the video camera stored many memories of them as mother and daughter.
