Chapter 62 Will the cat that went out to roam ever come back?

As we all know, if a rich young master insists on dating a girl from an ordinary family, in this case, according to the usual cliché, a wealthy girl from a well-off family will appear as a childhood sweetheart, admirer, or fiancée.

Zhu Ting is precisely that kind of person.

In the original story, she is proud, noble, and elegant like a swan. She is not only fluent in multiple languages ​​but also has her own budding design career, making her the embodiment of perfection.

And now he is face to face with Shi Miao.

Zhu Ting slumped in the back seat, his arrogant eyes revealing a mocking expression.

"He insisted on bringing me here from Beijing during such a nice holiday, ostensibly to let me get to know him better and discuss our future plans."

"What's there to talk about? He's pursuing his path as a genius in competitions, and I'm just an international art student. We're completely unrelated."

"Was he a show-off at school?"

Zhu Ting said coldly, "That's why I really can't get along with him at all."

"I love to pretend too!"

"Damn it, I get annoyed just seeing him put on an act that I don't like."

"I dream of the day when my parents will finally realize that forcing us together was a terrible decision and will call off the engagement."

Zhu Ting concluded.

"If all else fails, I'll go talk to Yan Zhaozhou's brother. At least he's more pleasing to the eye than Yan Zhaozhou."

"With things getting this bad, the engagement definitely can't go on."

"..."

That's true.

Shi Miao was somewhat absent-minded, thinking about the plot of the original book.

Zhu Ting requested to change her betrothal partner to Jiang Yingxu, the young master of the Yan family.

Seeing that Yan Zhaozhou was determined to date Zou Yuanyuan, the Yan family had no choice but to agree.

The Zhu family is no problem either, as long as they are from the Yan family.

But in the end, it got stuck with Jiang Yingxu.

Jiang Yingxu never responded.

However, Zhu Ting frequently visited his office at the Yan Group.

Shi Miao felt inexplicably annoyed, her little sharp teeth itched, and she really wanted to bite something and grind them down.

It might be related to the Yan family.

They treated the marriage agreement like some kind of charity, which Yan Zhaozhou didn't want, so they gave it to Jiang Yingxu instead.

The car stopped at the entrance of the wholesale market.

Zhu Ting realized she had been venting too much negative energy, rubbed her face, and felt a little embarrassed.

He simply grabbed Shi Miao's wrist and pulled her out of the car.

"Thank you for listening to my complaints."

"The clothes here are cheap, but you have to put in the effort to pick them out yourself. I'll buy some for you as a gift."

Shi Miao's eyelashes trembled, but she shook her head.

"Need not."

The kitten had a strange stubbornness, and firmly said, "I'll buy him clothes, and I'll pay for them myself."

-

At noon, a large group of students who had been taking exams all morning and were mentally exhausted poured out of the classroom and ran to the Jiangda cafeteria for lunch.

The teachers then carried the exam papers to their offices.

Principal Hao arranged for teaching assistants to buy meals in advance and put them in insulated boxes, so that students could sit down and grade papers immediately after eating.

Jiang Yingxu carried his bag to the cafeteria and bought a basic meal. His phone lagged for almost a minute before he was able to scan the code and pay.

He found a corner to sit down and finished his meal in a few bites.

My stomach still feels empty, clamoring for more.

Jiang Yingxu had already gotten up, put the tableware in the recycling area, and walked straight to the vacant dormitory building that Jiang University had arranged for them.

The temporary school card was swiped on the door, and the door opened with a beep.

Jiang Yingxu pushed open the door and went in.

The room was quiet and deserted, with only a thin layer of dust stirred up by the wind, fluttering in the sunlight streaming through the window.

Jiangda's dorms are four-person rooms with bunk beds and desks underneath, each with a private bathroom and a balcony.

Eighteen students came from Ningcheng No.1 Middle School. Three girls were assigned to a single room, and the remaining boys were assigned to dormitories based on their competition subjects.

Jiang Yingxu, Lai Cheng, and Shao Hanfei shared a room.

There's only an hour at noon, and many people are too lazy to go back to their dorms. After eating, they go straight to the classroom to rest.

The same applies to Lai Cheng and Shao Hanfei.

Jiang Yingxu rolled up his sleeves, used his own rag to clean the bed and table, and then carefully washed his hands before turning around and carrying the prop cat from his schoolbag to the bed.

The kitten would react slightly to his movements.

For example, pawing at things, twitching its ears, or snoring as it rolls over to sleep.

Like a cat.

Unlike her.

Jiang Yingxu knelt on one knee by the bed, his long eyelashes drooping slightly as he stared at the warm mass.

He never felt lonely.

He thought he liked being alone.

But a kitten just had to barge into his life, taking over his space and dominating his attention.

Let him get used to it.

She abandoned him again, wandering outside for half a day, still not knowing to go home.

Jiang Yingxu felt an indescribable anxiety and desolation.

He didn't know what Shi Miao would encounter or like outside, or whether she would meet someone who liked her, whether it was an animal or a person.

After all, she's the kind of person who can attract countless eyes and admiration just by standing there.

Kind and soft-hearted.

Full of enthusiasm.

If you make a promise to him, will you also lend a helping hand to other unfortunate people?

In a daze, Jiang Yingxu felt like a widow left alone in her family.

Gazing wistfully at the changing light outside the window, transitioning from bright to dark, only one thought occupied my mind—

Will you return it?

She thought that as long as she came back and remembered that this was her home, it didn't matter how much she flirted with other men outside.

"..."

Jiang Yingxu rubbed his temples, straightened up expressionlessly, and decided to go to the classroom to review the morning's lessons again.

Then you wouldn't be overthinking things like that.

He had already stepped onto the stairs, then paused for a few seconds, leaned down slightly, and pinched the "kitten's" paw pad with his fingertips.

“Vast and insignificant”.

He murmured, his eyelids slightly closed, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, even his earlobes turning a slightly flushed red from the stuffiness, before finally uttering the words that had been lingering between his lips.

I don't know if she can hear me.

Or perhaps, it is precisely because it is so difficult to be heard that one has the courage to speak out in a mute voice.

"……I miss you."
