Chapter 113 Give Me a Kiss!

It was almost one o'clock when Jiang Yingxu finished washing up and lay down on the sofa bed.

The lights were turned off, plunging the room into darkness.

Shi Miao drank milk tea last night and was not sleepy at all. She used her paw pads to fiddle with the gold rope safety lock around her neck, and then opened her system backpack to admire the cat head necklace stored inside.

They're all cats!

Kuku jumped onto the track with great joy and excitement. It ran several laps and then rubbed its claws against the rope pillar many times before finally easing its excitement.

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like the King of Cats?

Absolutely not!

Would the Cat King dislike Jiang Yingxu?

Absolutely impossible!

The great writer Mi sat on the platform, relying on his innate superior night vision, staring at Jiang Yingxu, who was lying quietly asleep below.

Its tail tip swayed back and forth, forming a small question mark with delight.

Facing the lucid Jiang Yingxu, Shi Miao, who was experiencing her first crush and learning what it meant to like someone, felt a little embarrassed.

Facing the sleeping Jiang Yingxu in the quiet, dark environment, the Cat King's courage and boldness were emboldened.

What the cat wants, the cat gets.

The kitten nimbly jumped off the platform, as if passing by, and tiptoed past Jiang Yingxu.

Then approach his slightly tilted head.

She touched his cheek with her cool, damp, pink nose.

I'll give you a kiss!

After Shi Miao finished kissing the kitten, she felt its face was a little hot and tried to run away with its paws outstretched.

But Jiang Yingxu grabbed her, shook off the blanket, and pulled her into his arms.

Shi Miao: "?"

She looked up and saw that Jiang Yingxu hadn't opened his eyes. He haphazardly pinched her little cat paw with his long fingers, his voice full of weariness, as if he had just been woken up by her while he was still half asleep.

"Meow... Stop fooling around, go to sleep."

It's cold outside in winter.

Jiang Yingxu's embrace felt warm.

The kitten, its paws tucked in, was also affected by the drowsiness in his voice, and yawned with its eyes half-closed.

She nestled quietly in his arms and fell asleep.

This year, the Lunar New Year falls in mid-February, so the final exams are scheduled for early February.

As soon as the New Year's Day holiday was over, the already fast-paced teaching rhythm at No. 1 Middle School almost reached a new level.

The exam papers were handed out like snowflakes.

The students, their eyes tired and listless, buried themselves in their writing.

Don't rush, don't rush. After you finish the physics, do the biology, and after you finish the chemistry, do the math.

Math was left until last, because one big problem could take up an entire evening study session.

Jiang Yingxu no longer needs to attend competition classes at Mingde Building, but he is busier and less visible than before.

Seven days a week.

I went to the first-year high school classroom to teach Fan Rui for three nights.

For three nights, I sat at the desk vacated by Lei De in the senior high school teachers' office, taking one-on-one online lessons from Peng Shuying.

Jiang Yingxu's goals are not only to be the first in the country, but also the selection competition in May, the international competition in the future, and a guaranteed admission spot.

On the last night, I sometimes stay home with the cat, and sometimes I go out to do part-time work.

For some reason, Jiang Yingxu seemed to have a sense of urgency about him.

Like saplings that foresee a storm, unable to move, they can only deeply root themselves in the soil, absorbing nutrients and enriching themselves, so that they can safely weather the coming storm.

Every teacher is emphasizing that the senior year of high school is the most important year, and the remaining time is the most crucial few months.

Just focus all your energy on the test papers and exercises.

Once you get to university, you'll have plenty of opportunities to have fun.

Shi Miao, having been a college student herself, knew that this statement wasn't entirely accurate.

Because the college students passing by all looked listless, and they would squat down and complain to the cats about the annoying group assignments, the heavy pressure of taking exams, postgraduate entrance exams, and job hunting.

The same phrase they always say is—

I also want to be a carefree cat who just eats, plays, and sunbathes!

But at this moment, the free and fulfilling university life of the future is like a carrot dangling in front of high school seniors, making them grit their teeth and push forward even when they are exhausted.

In such an environment permeated with anxiety and tension, even a cat with little pressure couldn't help but feel nervous.

This year was very important for Jiang Yingxu.

She knew it better than anyone else.

An outstanding academic record and a respectable university admission letter.

That's what Jiang Yingxu should have received.

In contrast, the cat's affection is less urgent, and the plan to pursue him can be postponed.

Like hiding its favorite toy, the cat carefully carried that tender feeling, found a small, safe corner in its heart, patted it with its paw, and placed it there peacefully.

Now, it's enough to just be there for him through this period.

God's Milk.

Cats are truly incredibly kind and understanding creatures!

-

On February 4th, the three-day final exams came to a complete end.

The classroom was bustling with noise, with some students engrossed in discussing the answers to the questions while others were already packing their things and looking forward to the Lunar New Year holiday.

Although senior high school students only have ten days off.

Five days before the New Year and five days after the New Year.

But it's fine as long as there's some room for it; high school seniors don't have that much room to be picky.

Jiang Yingxu stood beside Reid's desk, looking towards the English teacher's desk in front of him.

Shi Miao was helping the English class representative organize the English newspapers and test papers for the holiday.

It was cold, so she wore a light orange cotton coat with a white velvet trim on the hood. After spending some time in the air-conditioned office, a faint blush rose to her fair cheeks.

She pretended to listen attentively as the English teacher checked the test papers, but secretly glanced at him quickly.

She met Jiang Yingxu's gaze, wrinkled her nose at him, and gave him a lively and charming look.

English teacher: "Oh, right, and this newspaper..."

Shi Miao quickly looked away and listened obediently.

Jiang Yingxu's gaze softened slightly.

Until the sound of knuckles tapping came from the table.

Red looked speechless and said with a forced smile, "Why don't you go and lend a hand?"

Jiang Yingxu: "If you don't mind, teacher."

Red: "?"

That kid.

He's very serious now, and he can even joke around.

Reid was pleased to see Jiang Yingxu like this, but he still had to maintain his authority as a teacher. He gave a heavy snort and took out an application form from the side.

"The letter has been sent. From February 7th to March 7th this year, the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University will be organizing a month-long winter camp. Just like last time, the round-trip train tickets will be paid by the Yen Family Scholarship Foundation, and living expenses will be deposited into your account."

"Please fill out this application form."

Jiang Yingxu hummed in agreement, sat down in the chair that Ledra had brought over, and began filling out the form.

Then, in the "accompanying person" column, write the word "cat" neatly.

Red: "..."

Reid looked away. "Tsinghua University should give you a holiday for the two days of the Lunar New Year. I'll be accompanying your professor's wife to Beijing to pay New Year's visits this year. I'll call you then and we can go out for a meal."

Jiang Yingxu didn't refuse, continuing to write, "Teacher, can I bring the cat?"

Red: "..."

Reid gritted his teeth and said, "You take it. Your teacher's wife also likes cats."

Jiang Yingxu chuckled softly.

After filling out the form, he stood up and pushed the paper to Reid.

At the opposite table, Shi Miao picked up a stack of English newspapers and slowly walked out, leaving with the English class representative.

Jiang Yingxu was about to follow when his cell phone vibrated in his pocket.

It was a call from Chen Xiumei.

Jiang Yingxu answered the call, listened quietly, and gave two short "hmm" sounds.

Red, who was nearby, vaguely heard the panicked, disoriented female voice and casually asked, "What is it?"

Jiang Yingxu hung up the phone, his expression unchanged, his voice low and calm, "My uncle killed someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Red stood up abruptly, almost knocking over the chair he had been sitting on.

Not far away, Shi Miao's ears twitched, and she stopped in her tracks, looking bewildered.

Jiang Yingxu's gaze met hers.

I clearly heard a notification tone.

[Ding!]

[Plot completion increased by 17%, currently at 30%. Please keep up the good work, host.]

-

Reid rushed to the school parking lot. Fortunately, he remembered that it was a holiday today and the papers would be graded tomorrow, so he had brought a lot of things and drove over today.

I stepped on the gas and drove out of the garage.

As the holiday approaches, students can be seen coming and going from the teaching building and walking on the road.

His hands were sweating as he gripped the steering wheel, and he finally drove steadily into the open space inside the school gate.

It would be fine if Jiang Yingxu were here.

Reid caught a glimpse of pale orange in the rearview mirror, then turned to look at Shi Miao, who was pushing Jiang Yingxu to sit inside and making room for her: "...What are you going to do?"

Shi Miao said confidently, "Teacher Lei, the exams are over and we're on holiday. I'm free to do whatever I want."

Red paused, then looked at Jiang Yingxu.

Seeing that the boy nodded at him without objecting, he silently turned his head away.

OK.

Young people these days have such unique ways of dating.

While others were going to the movies, giving flowers, and strolling along the street, he led a group of people to the crime scene.

It's not far from No. 1 Middle School.

Upon hearing the news in the office, Shi Miao immediately instructed the system to investigate what had happened.

The plot was supposed to happen after Jiang Yingxu was recognized and returned to the Yan family, so why was it brought forward?

The system hasn't returned yet.

Shi Miao gazed at the early-darkening winter night outside the window, then turned her head to look at Jiang Yingxu, who was leaning against the back of his chair beside her.

His long eyelashes drooped slightly, and his thin lips were pressed straight; it was unclear what he was thinking.

Shi Miao glanced at Reid, who was driving impatiently in front of her, moved closer to him, reached out and gently took Jiang Yingxu's hand that was resting on his lap.

Don't worry.

She leaned closer, her voice soft yet filled with certainty.

"Your uncle is bound to get into trouble."
