Chapter Twenty-Nine

After the anniversary celebration began, the venue became rather dim.

Before the show started, Wen Yichen and Fang Jingyao came over. They sat next to Wen Yixing, ate something, and watched the show for a while.

Later, when the school leaders started speaking, the room became rather stuffy, and Fang Jingyao became restless. During the intermission, Wen Yixing led them out through the back door for some fresh air.

The school was very large and had many fun places. Seeing that Fang Jingyao and Wen Yichen preferred to play outside, Wen Yixing didn't let them return to the venue and let them play on their own.

Then came the speeches from the school leaders, which were a bit boring. Wen Yixing wasn't in a hurry to go back, but instead wandered around the school by herself.

Behind the playground are two teaching buildings. It's currently class time, and students in school uniforms are running on the playground. The rest of the place is quiet, with only a few students occasionally passing by carrying a stack of books.

Young men and women, brimming with youthful energy, would look at her curiously as they passed by. Wen Yixing walked to the vicinity of the teaching building and stopped.

There were some small clumps of grass around, and in one corner, Wen Yixing spotted a girl with a ponytail squatting on the ground feeding a kitten.

Hearing the noise, the kitten took a step back warily, and the girl in the school uniform also turned around to look.

Seeing that it wasn't a teacher from the school, the girl breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up, patted the grass seeds stuck to her school uniform, and muttered to herself, "That scared me to death."

Wen Yixing smiled and walked forward, where she saw the black and white calico cat hiding in the grass.

This black and white cat looked grumpy and stared warily at Wen Yixing.

Wen Yixing asked softly, "Is this the kitten from the school?"

The girl bent down and picked up a stack of test papers from the ground, replying, "Yeah, it just sneaked in from outside the school a few days ago. It's really timid."

Wen Yixing happened to have Fang Jingyao's ham sausage in her bag.

Just as she took a sausage out of her bag, the girl stared at her for two seconds and asked curiously, "Sister, are you here for the anniversary celebration today?"

Wen Yixing replied gently, "Yes."

The girl slapped her forehead, her eyes shining as she looked at Wen Yixing: "Aren't you senior Wen Yixing! You're so beautiful! I've seen your picture on the school's wall of outstanding graduates!"

Wen Yixing smiled: "Yes, it's me."

The girl exclaimed excitedly, "My math teacher often mentions you in class!"

Wen Yixing was also somewhat surprised: "Really?"

Girl: "Yeah, yeah, I'm so happy!"

A whistle blew from the other side of the playground, calming the girl down a bit. She glanced at her watch and said somewhat dejectedly, "Senior, I'm going back to the classroom now."

Wen Yixing smiled and nodded: "Okay, study hard, and I wish you success in getting into your ideal university."

"Thank you, senior! I will try my best to learn from you and strive to get praise from the math teacher!"

After saying that, the girl looked at the sausage in Wen Yixing's hand and instructed, "By the way, senior, be careful when you feed it, this kitten has a bad temper."

After watching the girl jog away, Wen Yixing straightened her skirt, squatted down where the girl had been, and tore open the packaging of the sausage.

Wen Yixing was actually very happy. She didn't expect that so many years after graduation, there would still be teachers at the school who remembered her and younger students who recognized her.

This feeling is amazing.

Wen Yixing only came to her senses when she heard the cat meowing.

She saw the kitten in the corner rush towards her, trying to snatch the sausage from her hand.

At that moment, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand back.

The sausage fell to the ground, and the little black and white cat picked it up and ran away quickly.

Everything happened too fast.

Wen Yixing paused for a moment, then turned to look at the person behind her.

Perhaps because of the high temperature and the lack of air conditioning outside, it was quite hot, and Shen Jingshao had already taken off his suit jacket.

He was wearing only a white shirt, with an expensive watch on his wrist, and his sleeves were rolled up, revealing a section of his muscular arm.

Are you alright?

Shen Jingshao looked down at her and released her wrist without making a sound.

Wen Yixing shook her head. She gradually realized what was happening and thanked him first, "Thank you."

Shen Jingshao stood under the shade of the tree, and the two of them maintained a polite distance.

Wen Yixing was somewhat surprised that Shen Jingshao would appear here. She was about to speak when her gaze fell on the back of his hand.

There was a noticeable scratch on the back of Shen Jingshao's hand.

Wen Yixing subconsciously raised her hand.

But then she realized that Shen Jingshao was standing in front of her. She controlled her hand, looked up at Shen Jingshao, and said guiltily, "Your hand was scratched by the kitten."

Upon hearing her words, Shen Jingshao then looked at his injured hand.

“She’s already bleeding.” Wen Yixing took a few steps forward, looked closer, and then frowned, saying, “She needs to go to the hospital for a vaccination.”

Shen Jingshao didn't speak, but when she wasn't paying attention, he looked down at her.

"It's all my fault for spacing out just now," Wen Yixing said, somewhat annoyed.

She could have dodged it, but she was distracted and didn't notice the kitten's sneak attack.

Seeing that she was really blaming herself, Shen Jingshao gently comforted her, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Wen Yixing was still worried. She looked up at Shen Jingshao and said, "Let's go to the school clinic to get it treated first."

Shen Jingshao remained silent for a few seconds, then obediently replied, "Okay."

--

The school clinic remains in the same location, still in the old teaching building.

It was cool inside the teaching building. Looking out the windows in the corridor, you could see the thick-trunked sycamore trees in the school.
