Chapter 123 Are you out of your mind?!

After Shi Miao and Jiang Yingxu parted ways, they didn't rush home. Instead, they went behind the wall and had the system call Niu Chongtian.

Niu Chongtian: "...Why do I need to take leave again?"

The system replied familiarly, "I'm sorry, teacher, our elder has passed away, and Shi Miao needs to come back with us for the funeral."

Niu Chongtian felt a headache coming on.

After all, it was a legitimate reason, and the parents were being so polite, so there was no reason not to agree.

But Niu Chongtian still earnestly advised:

"Shi Miao's performance in the second mock exam has improved significantly. Now the most important thing is to maintain her strengths and improve her weaknesses!"

"There aren't many days left until the college entrance exam. When you go back this time, please make sure she keeps up with her studies and helps her maintain her problem-solving skills. She absolutely cannot let her guard down..."

With repeated assurances from the system, Niu Chongtian finally hung up the phone.

She ran her fingers through her hair, pulled her notebook over, and wrote down Shi Miao's leave details and dates.

After he finished writing, he looked at the notebook repeatedly and flipped through the pages.

"This child, did they find a fake parent to lie to me?"

Niu Chongtian muttered to himself with worry, tapping his finger on the previous leave date.

"Why does she always take leave whenever Jiang Yingxu is away?"

If Reid hadn't told him that Jiang Yingxu spent all his time in the classroom or dormitory during his off-campus training camp and never went out, and there was no one else around him, he would have been completely alone.

Niu Chongtian was starting to suspect that every time Shi Miao asked for leave, she was actually going out with Jiang Yingxu!

However, it's probably just a coincidence.

-

As soon as Young Master Yan made his move, a line of gleaming luxury cars appeared at the school gate, with drivers in black suits and white gloves standing beside the cars, respectfully opening the doors.

Lai Cheng constantly boasts about when he will win the lottery and become rich, and when his wealthy relatives who have been living away from home will come knocking on his door.

Seeing such a scene, I felt like my legs wouldn't move.

He followed closely behind Jiang Yingxu, muttering to himself, "Ha, rich people."

"Ha, I'm not a rich person."

Seeing Jiang Yingxu walk towards the last car, he quickly followed.

Jiang Yingxu, however, stood by the back seat and gestured forward, "Go to the car in front."

Lai Cheng was used to listening to him.

Before his mind could even process it, he twisted his leg and walked straight ahead, greeting Dong Zhan, the only son of Sheng Jing, before getting into the car together.

A few seconds later, Jiang Yingxu's phone vibrated.

Lai Cheng: Brother Jiang, why won't you let me ride in the same car as you? Are you looking down on me? [crying][crying][crying]

Jiang Yingxu: No, Dong Zhan said last time that he wanted to be friends with you. Don't you like making friends? I'll create an opportunity for you two.

Lai Cheng: I see!

Lai Cheng: I misunderstood, Brother Jiang, you're so kind! [flying kiss]

Jiang Yingxu: [Smiling]

Lai Cheng: Brother Jiang, that smile isn't meant to be friendly, it's more like a "hehe" [rose emoji]

Jiang Yingxu: I know.

Lai Cheng: ? ? ?

After everyone got into the car, the driver also got into the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and slowly started the car.

Jiang Yingxu lowered his head and opened the cat carrier, which he rarely used, a crack in the box beside him.

Immediately, a cat's paw reached out and slapped his finger down.

Then a kitten's head peeked out.

Shi Miao doesn't really like the environment of the cat carrier.

However, Jiang Yingxu's words make sense. We'll be going into the airport to board the plane later. There will be a lot of people outside, and if there are any cat-fearing people like Reid, it wouldn't be good to scare them.

She stayed quietly in the cat carrier for a long time.

Now he was finally able to jump out, step onto Jiang Yingxu's thigh, and look up at the car's interior.

Like a little tiger patrolling its territory, it was majestic and awe-inspiring.

Then, as if familiar with the routine, she lay down on his lap.

It takes forty minutes to drive from No. 1 Middle School to the airport.

The driver was very skilled; the starting and stopping were smooth and stable, and you could hardly feel any bumps.

In such a quiet environment, Shi Miao closed her eyelids and almost fell asleep.

She closed her eyes, resting her head on Jiang Yingxu's wrist, and made low, relaxed snoring sounds.

Therefore.

At the sudden, urgent alert from the system, her ears twitched, her consciousness still hazy and drowsy.

It wasn't until I heard the screeching sound of brakes that I reacted, a beat too late.

System: [Something's wrong! Shi Miao! The plot has moved forward!]

Shi Miao suddenly opened her eyes, sat up and looked out the window.

On the opposite lane, a black car suddenly veered off course and crashed straight into the median barrier without slowing down at all, continuing to hurtle towards us.

The guardrail creaked and broke with a loud noise.

The black car approached at an extremely high speed, leaving no time to react.

Her pupils contracted.

There was no time to think about why. The car accident that should have happened in Beijing happened at this moment, just as the head of the reckless black car was about to crash into us.

Its fluffy tail suddenly swung.

Buzz—

A barely perceptible stream of silvery-white light suddenly sprang up from the tip of the tail and spread out, rippling like water.

Everything in sight was frozen in time.

Whether it's the debris flying in the air, the dented and deformed car door caused by the black car hitting it, or the driver's terrified expression.

Time stood still.

Only Shi Miao and the system bound to her consciousness were still able to function.

The system popped up a small glowing ball, its tone grave and urgent.

[How could the plot have moved forward? This car accident, which was supposed to have been aimed at Yan Zhaozhou but resulted in Jiang Yingxu's injury, should have happened in the capital, the day after tomorrow—Shi Miao!]

The kitten's legs buckled, and it collapsed onto Jiang Yingxu's lap.

As the silvery light rippled outwards, she trembled uncontrollably.

It hurts. It hurts so much.

Still recovering from serious injuries, even a small amount of time reversal could cause her to faint briefly, let alone such a large-scale time stop.

Shi Miao couldn't hear what the system was saying at all.

A constant buzzing in my ears, and everything went black before my eyes. All my senses failed me, except for the pain, which was exceptionally sharp and clear.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through the long hair.

The rusty taste of blood lingered between his tightly clenched lips and teeth.

It was thick and piping hot.

It dripped from her lips, wetting the small patch of long, snow-white hair.

It felt as if his bones and muscles were being broken inch by inch, and every inch of his muscles were being pounded and torn apart. There was also more sticky blood about to gush out of his throat.

I wish I could just faint from the pain.

But that won't work.

no.

Shi Miao didn't even dare to breathe too hard.

He swallowed the blood that tasted sweet and metallic in his throat. After the initial tearing pain subsided, his body seemed to adjust a little.

She finally heard the system's anxious call out, albeit belatedly.

He opened his eyes, drenched in cold sweat, and his lips moved, his voice barely audible, "[System...]"

The system no longer cared about its previous promise to skip this part of the story for the cat.

Its mechanical voice was full of panic, almost like a human crying.

How could that be?

Intelligent life forms don't shed tears.

Are you out of your mind?!

The plot has already unfolded ahead of schedule; we can't change it, and there's no point in you stubbornly clinging to your own stubbornness.

Let the story continue!

Shi Miao curled up on Jiang Yingxu's lap and raised her head slightly.

Time seemed to stand still, and Jiang Yingxu made no move. He simply gazed quietly out the window, his dark eyes reflecting the bright sunlight.

They probably haven't realized it yet.

After all, that car was coming too fast.

His expression remained calm and composed as always, showing no sign of panic.

But it inexplicably gave the cat a sense of security.

I...I promised him...I will...bless him...

Shi Miao spoke haltingly.

It must have hurt too much.

It touched my eyes.

With a gentle blink, hot, wet droplets of water fall, wetting the surrounding downy fur.
