Chapter 47 Strange Ear Mouse
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Xiao suddenly stop, Zhuge Yun and others looked at Xiao Xiao strangely, and also looked in the direction Xiao Xiao's gaze.

It was just a row of ordinary sycamore trees, with white snow covering the brown branches, revealing a hint of paleness. Students in groups of three or two were walking briskly towards the teaching building in front.

"Did you see anyone you know?" Zhao Luzheng made a reliable guess.

"Hmm? No, I saw it wrong." Xiao Xiao shook his head and took the lead. "Let's go, class is about to start."

……

Xiao Xiao and his companions climbed up the stairs. Their classroom was on the fourth floor.

As the semi-open-air stairs increase in height, they can better view the snow scenery of Yanda.

The icy air chilled them to the bone, and the biting wind blew through their hair and clothes.

Compared to the others who cowered, Xiao Xiao, whose physique had greatly improved, did not feel the bone-chilling cold. He only felt a slight chill refreshing his heart. The air seemed to be brighter and colder because of the snow.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiao's eyebrows twitched, his body stiffened for a moment, and his steps paused. What was that?
Xiao Xiao looked down nervously, and saw a familiar pair of silver-gray fur. Ear mouse? !
Before he could react, the bell for class rang suddenly. The clear and loud sound echoed throughout the entire campus, causing the snow on many trees to fall.

Xiao Xiao didn't care about the ear mouse that appeared out of nowhere for a moment, and hurriedly followed the boss and the others and ran towards the classroom.

……

In the classroom, the students were obviously not very focused on the class, and a faint sense of restlessness was floating in the air. After all, this was the first snow of the year, and the students were still excited.

This was an elective class and there were not many people, so Xiao Xiao and his friends, who were late, managed to pick a good seat by the window, which naturally meant it was convenient for enjoying the snow.

It should be during the short time that they were running in the corridor that fine snow began to fall outside again.

The snow is not heavy, but it brings out the quiet and beautiful atmosphere of the campus. Especially now is class time and there are almost no people on the huge campus. Rows of footprints on the snow are winding, some shallow and some deep, and the brook is gurgling, creating small ripples.

The soft, white and cool snowflakes swayed gently down, like goose feathers or catkins. They were clearly flying all over the sky, but silently, as light as nothing, and beautiful like a dream.

However, Xiao Xiao had no interest in enjoying the snow at this moment. The Ear Mouse was squatting on the windowsill next to him, with its head slightly tilted, and its gaze seemed to poke a hole in his body.

The scarlet eyes are really scary.

Especially when it was sparkling, Xiao Xiao had the feeling that the other party was sizing him up, looking for where to start.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao couldn't do anything too outrageous in the classroom.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiao didn't have to endure it for too long.

After a few words, the teacher asked the students near the windows to draw the curtains. The classroom suddenly fell into darkness. The projector lit up. It was an old movie, also an art film.

This is a film appreciation class.

Gentle and ethereal music flows amid the slow changes of light and shadow, bringing a unique kind of intoxicating tranquility and a touch of melancholy.

Xiao Xiao also wanted to concentrate on enjoying the movie, but he saw the eared mouse that he had clearly locked outside the window suddenly appeared on his desk with a pair of dead fish eyes on its expressionless face.

Well, he really shouldn't expect to isolate a monster so easily.

However, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows. Is he familiar with this monster? It seems that this ear mouse has identified him.

Is there anything you need his help with?
Xiao Xiao thought about it and guessed a little bit of the Ear Mouse's intention.

He tried to communicate with the ear mouse through eye contact, but all he got was a slightly raised chin and a condescending gaze from the ear mouse.

It was a look of complete contempt. Well, okay, Xiao Xiao retracted his gaze. He was a little irritated. What an unlovable monster!
He felt that his previous slight liking for it was a complete illusion!
Xiao Xiao's face was serious and he stared at the projector intently, completely ignoring the ear mouse in front of him.

Of course, he would never admit that he deliberately ignored the Ear Mouse because of the contemptuous look of the Ear Mouse. He was not such a petty and vengeful person.

He just took the class seriously.

After Xiao Xiao explained himself like this, he instantly immersed himself in the light, shadow and music of the movie with peace of mind.

……

The ear mouse did not make trouble anymore. The ear mouse, who often appeared on campus, naturally understood that no noise was allowed in get out of class. Looking at Xiao Xiao's serious profile, the ear mouse lay down and rested its head on its crossed paws. Although there was a hint of worry and imperceptible anxiety in its slightly cold and sharp vertical pupils, it just quietly waited for the bell to ring.

It had its back to the podium and was lying on Xiao Xiao's desk, facing Xiao Xiao.

After staring at Xiao Xiao silently for a while, the ear mouse slowly closed its eyes.

After the dangerous blood-red eyes were covered, the ear mouse suddenly looked much more harmless. Its small figure gave people a sense of cuteness and obedience. If a girl saw it, she would definitely hug and rub it while shouting how cute it was.

It can be predicted that this ear mouse is definitely a weapon to attract girls.

However, Xiao Xiao has a cold face. No matter how cute he is, girls can’t see it. What’s the point?

So, when the movie ended and the bell rang, Xiao Xiao looked down and saw the ear mouse looking at him with its eyes open, and he really couldn't put on a good expression.

I told you to despise me, so if you have the guts, don't come to me, Xiao Xiao put on a cold face and complained in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, most of the students in the classroom had left.

Xiao Xiao and the others stood up and prepared to go back to the dormitory. There were only two film appreciation classes this morning.

The ear mouse followed Xiao Xiao persistently.

As if it had noticed that Xiao Xiao didn't like it, the ear mouse very consciously followed Xiao Xiao at a distance, without making any noise, but just following silently.

Xiao Xiao was somewhat helpless about this. He was not interested in running around with a dog-skin plaster.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Brother, you guys go back first, I have something to do."

……

The snow had stopped as early as the second class.

Xiao Xiao stepped on the soft snow, his shoes sank in and then pulled out. The wind blowing in his face was biting and cold. Xiao Xiao felt that he had worked hard to find a place to talk to the monster.

It didn't take Xiao Xiao much effort to find a secluded corner. After all, such a corner was not difficult to find on a university campus.

This is the corner of an old teaching building. Several strong and sturdy banyan trees perfectly block the outside view.

Xiao Xiao stopped and turned to look at the ear mouse that had been following him. It had a small body but was very agile. It left no traces on the snow and did not sink into it at all.

Xiao Xiao felt that although it was a little unbelievable, he became more certain about his guess that the ear mouse had something to ask of him.

Otherwise, why would she follow him so obediently?
Although, he was deeply confused about how he could help this strange eared mouse.
