Chapter 2 You have to take responsibility for me!

Shi Miao's idea was very good.

The Cat King descended from the sky, stepping on Jiang Yingxu's head, looking down at him with a profound and elegant air.

Even the curve of its tail was planned.

It can also make the system give her a radiant buff.

You can tell at a glance that this is no ordinary fairy cat.

Shi Miao, full of confidence, leaped lightly and landed steadily.

Damn it!

It couldn't be stabilized!

The paw pad didn't land on Jiang Yingxu's head, but instead stepped on his shoulder. Unfortunately, the school uniform was made of some kind of cheap, low-quality fabric, making it a bit slippery.

Shi Miao slipped and the cat slid down Jiang Yingxu's shoulder with unstoppable force.

It looked like he was going to fall face-first to the ground.

The boy paused for a moment, then reflexively reached out and caught it.

A heavy, soft kitten just landed squarely in his arms.

With its snow-white belly facing upwards, its pink paw pads were still flailing about, trying to steady itself, when suddenly, it pressed down on his cheek.

"..."

Their eyes met.

Shi Miao's eyes widened, her amber-green cat-like pupils staring blankly at Jiang Yingxu, who was so close to her.

Her pupils dilated, and her feline instincts allowed her to detect almost every subtle reaction from Jiang Yingxu.

For example, a sudden increase in rapid breathing.

For example, the burning heat rising from the cheeks.

For example, the pounding of the heart in the chest.

The arms holding her trembled almost imperceptibly, tightening unconsciously, the soft back hair brushing against the exposed skin of his wrists.

A slight itch, like a wildfire, instantly burned from my cheeks and wrists to my entire body.

Jiang Yingxu was caught off guard, and his pupils contracted.

The body reacts very quickly.

He suddenly groaned, a heavy breath rolling from his throat, and could no longer hold on, sliding weakly down the wall to the ground.

His long eyelashes were closed, the veins on the side of his neck were bulging, and his chest was heaving dramatically.

He was trembling slightly all over.

He pressed the back of his head against the rough wall, trying to use the pain to keep himself awake.

The system was a beat too slow and floated down from above.

It has its own soft, bright light source, illuminating this small space.

"What happened?" The system, seeing Jiang Yingxu's condition, was shocked. "You knocked him unconscious?"

Shi Miao: [?]

Shi Miao jumped up from Jiang Yingxu's arms and landed on his bent leg.

She got a little angry. "What? You knocked him out? You're the one who knocked him out!"

The system objectively states: [Crime scene, victim, suspect... and the suspect cat—all three are present.]

He looked very uncomfortable.

Shi Miao ignored the spectator and looked at Jiang Yingxu suspiciously, then glanced at herself with a guilty look.

That can't be right.

Cats just have long fur, they're not fat.

How could you possibly knock someone unconscious?

The suspect cat flicked its tail in frustration, but seeing Jiang Yingxu's clenched hands and sweaty, painful expression, it still leaned forward slightly.

This is all for the mission.

She couldn't possibly kill her mission target, the future villain, on her very first day in the book... Pshaw! It really wasn't her who did it!

Pink paw pads were pressed against Jiang Yingxu's sweaty forehead.

His body temperature was unexpectedly high, so hot that the kitten, which prefers cooler temperatures, wanted to pull its paws away.

Shi Miao checked the demonic power within her body; only a pitiful little bit remained.

She was taken back from a spacetime rift by the main god when she was on the verge of death after exhausting her demonic power.

It took a long time to recover some of his demonic power in the God Realm.

Now, as we enter the world of books, we use every last drop.

Shi Miao carefully squeezed out a little bit of her ethereal demonic power and sent it into Jiang Yingxu's body.

It was like a wisp of coolness disappearing into the dry, scorching fire.

Jiang Yingxu's tense expression visibly relaxed.

Shi Miao stared at him expectantly.

She was already nervous and worried about the safety of the main villain, but to make matters worse, there was a system that loved to watch the drama unfold and kept annoyingly hanging around her.

【Master Cat——】

Why did you jump off-center?

[They even knocked someone unconscious—]

They even mocked her with her previous smug words: "A cat's reaction speed is seven times faster than a cat's—"

Shi Miao: "..."

Shi Miao suddenly revealed its sharp claws, its fur bristling, and slapped out with one claw.

That's the speed of a cat!

The system couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely, spinning several times in mid-air.

The whole system was in a daze, the data flow was a mess, and I accidentally touched a few settings.

Fortunately, its data stream recovered quickly, and it promptly closed the accidentally triggered help channel to return to the main god space.

[Time is fleeting!]

The calico cat, whiskers twitching, lazily licked its paws, its posture elegant.

When Jiang Yingxu opened his eyes, he happened to see this scene.

A long-haired calico cat with a richly colored coat sat upright on his lap, a fluffy ball of fur.

The light was dim, and the kitten's pupils were dilated, leaving only a thin, amber-green iris edge visible.

It was like some bizarre and fantastical dream.

Jiang Yingxu was briefly lost in thought and moved his fingers.

Because of his physical ailment, he always wore long sleeves and trousers, avoiding any physical contact with others.

Unexpectedly, after suppressing my feelings for so long, even encountering a kitten would trigger a violent backlash from my skin-thirsty syndrome.

Thankfully, this ended quickly.

I don't know what happened, but during the most agonizing and unbearable time, I suddenly felt a cool and comfortable sensation, like a clear spring flowing through my whole body.

Jiang Yingxu lowered his long eyelashes, took a deep breath, and straightened up.

When the kitten noticed he was awake, it lowered its front paws and curled its bushy tail in front of its body, covering its paws.

The cat's round, bright eyes looked at him.

Reserved yet expectant.

Jiang Yingxu had no leisure to play with cats and dogs; no matter how elegant or beautiful this calico cat was, it was none of his business.

With a cold expression, he raised his relatively clean right hand and, through the fabric of his school uniform, used his wrist to push the cat away.

Shi Miao, who stumbled after being pushed, was speechless.

Without saying a word, she bounced back onto Jiang Yingxu's lap.

Jiang Yingxu frowned slightly, reached out again, and pushed the kitten away without giving any room for resistance.

Shi Miao: "??"

She looked at Jiang Yingxu in disbelief.

How can there be such heartless humans!

Shi Miao once stayed on a university campus for a period of time. Those innocent and naive college students were very easy to coax. Just passing by them would cause gasps of surprise.

If it were to take pity on you and extend its claws to tug at your trouser leg...

Suppressed screams and clipping sounds could drown out the kitten.

She's the prettiest kitten ever!

What a tasteless villain!

Shi Miao was so angry that her beard was trembling. Taking advantage of the moment before Jiang Yingxu got up, she took another cat-like step forward.

The kitten, which had been pushed away twice, was clearly sulking.

The force of the paw pads stepping on him was even greater, as if they wanted to press four plum blossom marks on his legs.

Jiang Yingxu lowered his eyes, glanced around at the messy surroundings, and then looked at the trousers that were barely clean enough.

The kitten, which had jumped down from who-knows-where, had clean white fur on its chest, belly, and even its paws.

Under the faint light of the streetlights shining in at the alley entrance, it was so white it seemed to be glowing.

Could it be that other places are too dirty and you refuse to settle down?

Jiang Yingxu remained silent for a few seconds, then sighed silently.

He wanted to stand up, thinking of picking up the cat and taking it outside to a clean street.

He had just reached out his hand.

Seeing his handsome features and cold expression, Shi Miao thought he was going to push her away again, so she meowed angrily.

The kitten's meow is very sweet.

Jiang Yingxu's hand froze in mid-air.

He seemed too tired, or perhaps he had low blood sugar from not eating for most of the day. His soul seemed to be split in two; one half received meows, while the other half was transformed into a sweet, melodious female voice.

"I saved you from collapsing here!"

Jiang Yingxu slowly lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the puffed-up kitten.

Is he crazy?

The next second, the kitten raised its paw and patted his thigh with great force.

Spoiled and taken for granted.

"I am your savior cat."

"So, you have to take responsibility for me."

Jiang Yingxu: "...?"
