Chapter 177 - Already Have Someone
'I. Said. Don't. Come. Near. Me!'
FaMo was now in beast mode. It looked like he was ready to unleash his power and burn someone.
Tristan and the veterinarian were still clueless about the impending danger that was about to happen.
FaMo was almost losing his control. Will he reveal his power to them now just to stop the doctor from injecting that syringe into his body?
The doctor came closer to FaMo. His black onyx eyes were now burning red like a phoenix. When he was about to release his power to burn the syringe in the doctor's hand, FaMo remembered Zhen-Zhen.
He would cause trouble once he did that and Zhen-Zhen would also get affected.
With all his might, he turned to Tristan, biting his hand so that he would release him from his grasps. He succeeded. FaMo immediately jumped off the table, running towards the door to escape.
"Aw," Tristan was assessing his hand.
"Sorry about that. Does it bleed? Let me see it," the veterinarian checked Tristan's hand that was bitten by FaMo.
"I think we scare him. I told you… a cat might become aggressive after taking that kind of drug."
"No, Doc, I think FaMo hates me so much." Tristan lamented to the doctor.
The veterinarian just let out a soft chuckle while shaking his head.
"Just monitor his condition. If he is feeling sick just feed him those medicines. If it gets worse, just bring him here again."
"Okay, Doc. Thank you."
After paying the consultation bill, Tristan bade him goodbye. When he reached the car, Matthew was already carrying FaMo.
FaMo didn't take a glance at Tristan. He hated him for bringing him to that place.
'I will tell Zhen-Zhen about this. Just you wait… hmmp.'
Tristan heaved a deep sigh. He didn't mean to scare FaMo. He wanted to make sure that FaMo would just be fine. But it seemed that FaMo got mad at him because of this.

Meanwhile, in Zhen-Zhen's school, everything went smoothly. Her makeover was effective. When she attended her first class, her classmates didn't pay any attention to her since she just looked ordinary and simple.
They thought another nerdy student joined their class. She didn't get much attention compared to before.
But there was one student who remembered her.
"Hey, Betsy, she's our new classmate. She looks so dull. I wonder why a handsome guy was searching for her yesterday." The girl whispered to his seatmate.
The girl was the person whom Tristan asked yesterday about Lillie's whereabouts.
"Alicia, are you referring to the guy on your phone? Maybe she's his cousin or relatives," the girl whose name was Betsy responded to her.
Alicia nodded her head. She secretly took Tristan's photo yesterday. She had a crush on him.
"If they are relatives, then I should befriend her and get closer to her so that I can see my crush again," Alicia mumbled with her dreamy eyes.
Betsy smiled at her. "Yeah, you can do that. Go, ask her to sit beside you."
Lillie just finished introducing herself in the class. The professor called her in front and let her introduce herself because she's the new student.
When Zhen-Zhen was about to choose a seat, she saw Alicia waving at her.
"Classmate Lillie, come here. Sit beside me," Alicia said, inviting her.
Zhen-Zhen didn't expect that someone would offer a seat for her. She's grateful for that so she went to approach Alicia and Betsy.
"Nice to meet you, Lillie. I'm Alicia and this is my friend Betsy." Alicia introduced herself, acting very friendly in front of Lillie
"Hello, Lillie!" Betsy also greeted her.
Zhen-Zhen smiled at them sweetly. "Hello, thank you. It's also my pleasure to meet you both."
When Zhen-Zhen sat down, Betsy and Alicia exchanged meaningful glances with each other, both wearing a triumphant smile on their faces. First mission accomplished!
Zhen-Zhen's first class this morning was interesting. It was a Philosophy class. She listened attentively to their professor, unlike her other classmates who seemed sleepy because of boredom.
She was the only one participating in oral discussion and the one who kept asking questions to know more. Alicia and Betsy couldn't help but be amused by her.
'As expected, she's the studious type of student, from her looks alone.'
Alicia and Betsy were thinking about the same thing.
During break time, Alicia and Betsy invited Zhen-Zhen to join them but she politely rejected their invitation. She wanted to see her senior and her friend, Sophia.
They agreed to meet in their favorite secret spot on the campus. At least, they could enjoy the peacefulness of the environment there and have some little chitchats together.
Zhen-Zhen was enjoying Sophia's company. She was also kind and generous. She felt comfortable with her presence compared to Alicia and Betsy.
She could ask her anything she wanted and Sophia was willing to answer her with honesty.
When she arrived in the mini forest, Sophia was already there, sitting on the ground while reading a book.
"Sunbae!" Zhen-Zhen called her out.
Sophia shifted her gaze from the book to Zhen-Zhen. At first, she didn't recognize her because of her new look.
But the moment Zhen-Zhen flashed her signature charming smile, Sophia realized that the woman in front of her was Lillie.
"Lillie?"
"Yes, I'm Lillie."
Zhen-Zhen giggled before joining her. She also sat down beside Sophia. Now both of them looked like twin sisters because of the eyeglasses they were wearing.
"What happened to you? Why are you looking like this?" Sophia couldn't believe that Lillie changed her appearance completely.
"To avoid attracting men's attention," Zhen-Zhen answered her truthfully.
"Oh, that makes sense," Sophia mumbled while nodding her head.
After that, she burst out laughing.
"Sunbae, why are you laughing?" Zhen-Zhen asked her confusedly.
"Sorry, I just find it funny. The two of us suddenly became look-alike. Come, let's take our picture together."
Zhen-Zhen moved closer to Sophia as she took their photos.
"So cute," Zhen-Zhen mumbled after seeing their photos.
"Hmm, yeah. Nice idea. But why is it you don't want to attract men's attention? Don't you want to have a boyfriend here? There are lots of handsome men on this campus. They will surely chase after you once they see that you are pretty."
"Hmmm, because I already have someone I like. For me, he's the most handsome man in this world." Zhen-Zhen promptly responded to her.
