Chapter 14 Forget it, I'll just give him the cold shoulder for half a day.

Shi Miao rested her head on her arm, staring at the incomprehensible formulas and symbols on the open pages, and muttered to herself with the system.

Jiang Yingxu knocked my candy away; it was the last piece of candy I hadn't been willing to eat since I was in the province.

The system, united in its hatred, declared: "The cat gives candy to the villain; the cat is good, but the villain doesn't want it; the villain is bad."

Shi Miao shifted her head again.

Jiang Yingxu has a severe case of mysophobia. I hadn't even touched him, but he still bumped into me, and his hand was all red.

The system harshly criticized: "The main villain's influence is too strong."

Shi Miao rubbed her hand, which no longer hurt after a while.

The faint scraping sound of tables and chairs scraping against the floor could be heard from behind.

Shi Miao was a little curious about what Jiang Yingxu was doing, but stubbornly refused to look.

However, Jiang Yingxu has always been this kind of person; he didn't do it on purpose.

Is a day of Cold War too long?

Shi Miao hesitated before changing her mind, "How about we wait half a day, and then make up with him when we get home tonight?"

The system continued its condemnation: "[Intentional... huh?]"

The soft-hearted cat then explained on Jiang Yingxu's behalf, "[He didn't do it on purpose. Yuan Yuan and Deng Yi both said that's just his personality. You also said that some people just don't like interacting with people, but they can accept cats.]"

[Fine, I'll just give him the silent treatment for half a day.]

system:【……】

System: [I'm speechless.]

The loudspeaker blared the preparatory bell, and the students who had been wandering in the corridors and outside classrooms returned to their classrooms dejectedly, like sheep being herded back into their pen by a Border Collie.

Xia Hui entered through the back door carrying a stack of test papers and bumped into Jiang Yingxu, who was walking out.

"Class is about to start, where are you going?"

Jiang Yingxu strode forward, his voice low and indifferent, "Something's up."

Xia Hui muttered something strange, and when she turned around, she met Shi Miao's gaze, who was secretly turning her head to look at her.

She held the exam paper in one hand, and with her right hand, she took out two small pieces of chocolate from her pocket and tossed them to Shi Miao.

"Old Niu gave it to me, you and Yuan Yuan can share it."

Shi Miao reached out and caught it, watching Xia Hui distribute the test papers to the other two people.

She squeezed the chocolate, glancing furtively at the empty table behind her.

Yes.

Class is about to start, why did Jiang Yingxu leave?

As the official bell rang, the English teacher, her skirt swaying, carrying a delicate handbag and exuding a subtle fragrance, walked in.

She smiled before speaking, "I heard that a transfer student has joined our class."

My gaze shifted and quickly landed on a strange, bewildered, yet beautiful little face.

"Transfer student, come here, let the teacher see your level."

Sometimes I felt lost, sometimes I was shocked, sometimes I was stunned.

What?

Me?!

The pure-blooded Chinese cat demon stood up with a stiff upper lip, listening to the English teacher open her mouth with a smile and say something in a foreign language.

Shi Miao looked at her English teacher with a firm gaze, her eyes slightly curved, her smile sweet, and she seemed confident and composed.

In reality, I was screaming inside.

Shi Miao: [Command!!!]

Save the cat!

The system had loaded a language data package before entering this world, and said helplessly, "I said, imitate the intonation."

Although the kitten doesn't like to study, it has a strong ability to imitate.

She repeated each sentence clearly and distinctly as the system spoke.

The English teacher nodded repeatedly, and finally, out of compassion, raised her hand and let her go.

"Let me see... Oh, Shi Miao, your pronunciation and vocabulary are good, but you're a little slow. Are you nervous and constantly organizing your thoughts in your head?"

"Don't be afraid of making mistakes. The most important thing in learning a new language is to dare to speak out loud. In real life, no one cares about minor grammatical errors. As long as the meaning is conveyed, that's fine."

Shi Miao sat down with a thud.

Zou Yuanyuan gave her a thumbs up, "Miaomiao, your spoken English is very good! Did you study it specifically?"

Shi Miao: "...I just learned it."

Zou Yuanyuan: "Huh?"

Shi Miao's eyes welled up with tears: "Yes, I've studied it."

This time, when the system displayed the course screen in front of her again, Shi Miao didn't make excuses to be lazy anymore and honestly clicked on the famous teacher's course.

—First Grade English.

Shi Miao studied very diligently, not even noticing the slight creaking sound of the back door opening and closing.

The English teacher noticed, glanced at him, saw it was Jiang Yingxu, and then looked away.

Jiang Yingxu's grades are consistently excellent.

The teachers basically stopped paying attention to him. They didn't care if he did other subjects' tests during his own class, and they didn't care at all about him being late.

It's purely out of confidence in geniuses.

Jiang Yingxu sat down quietly, rubbed the thing in his hand, and then looked up at the figure in front of him.

The girl was half-lying on the table.

The fluffy, wispy hairs on the top of her head resembled the long, stubborn fur inside a kitten's ear.

She was writing something in her notebook when a strand of dark hair fell across her fair cheek and was casually tucked behind her ear.

The auricle was bent by pressure, then bounced back slightly.

It reminds one of the pointed ears of a kitten that fold and twitch from time to time.

Jiang Yingxu stared silently for a few seconds, then placed the things in his hands inside the desk. His complicated emotions gradually calmed down, and he finally discerned the specific content of the lesson beside him.

...Third-grade English.

Jiang Yingxu: ".

Could it really be a little cat demon who has never been to school?

Where did they get the courage to come in and study in the senior year of high school?

-

Shi Miao worked hard for one class period and finally learned sixth-grade English.

She proudly wagged her tail and said to the system, "I'm quite talented too, aren't I?"

The system rolled its eyes at the data stream.

【Then take a look at what the text in the first unit of the compulsory course is about.】

Shi Miao opened her brand-new English book and looked down at it.

It slammed shut again.

He said sternly, "[You haven't even gotten this far yet, Commander. I have to criticize you now. Don't you know that haste makes waste, and trying to force growth will only lead to bad results!]"

After three classes, Zou Yuanyuan finally got up to go to the restroom.

Shi Miao rested her chin on her hand, flipping through the vocabulary memorization assignment given by her English teacher.

Suddenly, I heard a short creaking sound from behind me, like a chair.

A tall, imposing figure descended upon them.

She instinctively turned her head to look.

Among the colorful array of different outfits in the classroom, only Jiang Yingxu was still wearing a long-sleeved blue and white school uniform. With his black hair, fair skin, and clear, deep eyes, he looked exactly like the campus illustrator Bai Yueguang from a magazine illustration.

He lowered his long eyelashes slightly, his thin lips moved, and his voice was low, "...Shi Miao."

Shi Miao was stunned for a moment.

When she was a kitten, she deliberately concealed her name; when she was a human, they were just strangers and classmates.

This was the first time she had heard Jiang Yingxu call her name.

The male voice has a cold tone, with short and abrupt pronunciation, like shattered ice colliding or jade stones striking each other, carrying the aloof and cold feeling of a cold spring falling into a mountain stream.

Shi Miao stared at him without blinking, secretly tapping the system in her mind.

Jiang Yingxu's voice is so pleasant to hear, especially when he calls my name; it gives me a special feeling.

The system was too lazy to explain, and looked at Jiang Yingxu with suspicion.

here we go again.

The boy's eyes were lowered, and the tips of his ears were tinged with a little red.

This morning, Shi Miao praised his good looks, and Jiang Yingxu's ears turned red. Now that she's praising his voice, why are they red again?

This made Tong feel inexplicably uneasy.

The system popped up a physical entity; the small ball of light floated around Jiang Yingxu once.

He caught a glimpse of Shi Miao's eyes and suddenly realized what was going on.

This kitten is so focused on its gaze, its eyes shining brightly, as if sprinkled with dazzling stars.

Anyone who is looked at like that by her will blush and feel their heart pound.

The system consciously found the source of the strangeness and then calmly retreated back into Shi Miao's consciousness.

Unaware that he had been suspected and then cleared of suspicion, Jiang Yingxu raised his hand and gently placed a bottle of peach sweet milk beside her.

"I didn't mean it before, I apologize."

Jiang Yingxu really didn't know how to coax people. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his cold, jade-like fingers still held the candy that had slipped out and then been retrieved. "And this candy..."

Shi Miao's spirits lifted. [Is he going to give it back to me again?!]

"..."

Jiang Yingxu paused, flicked his fingertips, and then withdrew his hand.

"...I'll accept it."
