Chapter 32 Chapter 32 "In the last class, we talked about being...
"In the last class, we talked about CAPM, which is called the law of gravity in the financial world by Wall Street. We need to pay attention to three core assumptions. First, there is no market friction. Second, investors have homogeneous expectations..."
There was a thick layer of dark clouds pressing down on the horizon, and in the lecture hall, the chalks made crisp sounds as they hit the blackboard.
The boy in the last row wearing a camel cashmere jacket tilted his head to look at the gray sky, and the capacitive pen moved flexibly on his slender fingers.
After a moment, Yan Sui looked down at the shared location on his phone. The red dot was still near the teacher, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The last class was unimportant. The kitten with a small schoolbag on its back swaggered out of the last row of windows, facing the wind, like a free pony with shiny fur, and disappeared from his sight.
But this class is a professional course, and Ning Ji will never miss it.
Seeing that the red dot had not returned yet, Yan Sui in the last row lowered his eyes and stroked the minimalist sports watch without scales on his wrist. After a while, he and his roommate told the teacher that they were not feeling well, and stood up and walked out of the classroom quietly.
The gray sky grew darker, and the treetops began to sway.
On the long green path in front of the teachers' apartment building of University A, a black Rottweiler stray dog with brown spots on its limbs had a fierce look in its eyes and bared its teeth. Its hair was all stuck together in patches. It barked a few times and suddenly rushed towards a group of kittens licking their cat paws not far away.
A few cats that were eating cat food with their heads down heard footsteps, their fur suddenly stood up, they scattered in all directions, and fled in panic. Then a shrill cat cry was heard.
The deaf little white cat nearly had its tail bitten off by a stray dog, and its right leg was bitten. It let out a shrill cry, and suddenly jumped away, lying on the ground with its front legs trembling, its chest heaving violently, looking at the huge black dog in front of it with sorrow and fear.
A cat's meow, louder and more rapid than usual, was heard. The calico cat that was running against the wind suddenly stopped in front of the stray dog.
The calico cat arched its back, its fluffy hair stood up like thorns, its front legs were lowered to the ground, its pupils shrunk into dangerous vertical lines, and it made a hissing sound, hostilely warning the big black dog in front of it to back off.
The kitten was frightened by the stray dog's sudden charge, and stopped in confusion. After seeing the size of the enemy, it let out a few barks and moved closer step by step.
The calico cat did not retreat at all, but arched its back higher and higher, its hair exploded like steel needles, and it let out a low growl from its throat, staring at the big dog in front of it.
The stray dog that was closing in on him was irritated by the look in the eyes of the smaller cat, and he suddenly jumped up and pounced on the calico cat in front of him.
——
After stepping out of the teaching building, Yan Sui's heart suddenly started beating faster for some reason. He walked quickly along the location map shared on his phone, taking extra long steps.
He dialed the number on his electronic watch, which automatically answered the call three seconds later.
He called, "Ning Ji, class is over, where are you?"
No response.
Yan Sui stopped and said, "Ning Ji, are you listening?"
There was no response, only a rustling noise.
The little red dot stayed in the same spot for a long time without moving.
Yan Sui immediately started running and rushed towards the red dot.
The wind mixed with moisture passed by his ears, making a rumbling sound. Yan Sui remembered that the last time he ran like this was when he was in his senior year of high school and took part in the relay race at a sports meet.
Ning Ji was the last one.
The young man in the white jersey stood on the line, stretched his arms backwards, leaned forward, and gathered all his strength to take the baton handed to him. He passed by him like the wind and rushed to the finish line with everyone's cheers.
This time no one was standing at the finish line.
Yan Sui, whose chest was heaving violently, stopped and saw a scene that made his heart stop.
The fluffy calico cat was bitten so hard that it bled all over. It grabbed the stray dog's head, rode on the dog, and bit the dog's ear. Its soft and fluffy tail exploded into a thick stick, and it made an angry warning sound from its throat.
The electronic watch had already been pulled loose in the fight and thrown far away.
"Ning Ji——"
There was an imperceptible tremor at the end of the sudden roar. The calico cat, which had been biting the stray dog's ear tightly, was stunned and distracted for a moment. The next second, the stray dog threw it off its back.
"roll!"
The calico cat, which was bleeding all over, was picked up, and with an angry roar, it scared the stray dog that was about to fight back a few steps. It looked at the tall human, limped and ran away without looking back.
A group of fluffy kittens quickly gathered around Yan Sui, meowing anxiously.
Yan Sui felt his arms trembling slightly - he was not sure how badly the bloody kitten in his arms was injured.
He took off his coat and wrapped the calico cat around it. After taking two steps, the calico cat bit his sleeve again, indicating that he should take the little white cat with him.
Yan Sui bent down, picked up the injured little white cat lying on the ground, ran to the parking lot as fast as he could, put the calico cat and the little white cat on the passenger seat, and navigated to the nearest pet hospital.
The calico cat, covered in blood, curled up in the coat, with its head held high and eyes open, saying nothing - it was afraid that if it cried out, it would cry out in pain.
It endured all the way to the pet hospital and watched Yan Sui hand it over to the veterinarian. The veterinarian pressed the bleeding area with sterile gauze and cotton balls, and after stopping the bleeding, he checked the number, size, depth and location of the wounds on its body.
"How did you get hurt?"
Yan Sui was silent for a while, his voice a little hoarse, and said that he had a fight with a stray dog.
The pet who was pressing the kitten's soft abdomen to observe whether it was in pain or had any organ damage looked up in surprise, "Fighting with a stray dog? Isn't it a calico cat?"
She was amazed that a tiny calico cat dared to fight with a stray dog. She glanced at the skinny little white cat next to her, as if she understood something.
The calico cat lying on the examination table raised its head proudly, obviously very happy that it lived up to the name of Scar Boss.
When the pet doctor registered the name Mimi for it, it raised its head and barked at Yan Sui twice, indicating that Yan Sui should change its name, preferably to Scar.
But Yan Sui lowered his eyes and looked at it, his thin lips pursed tightly, his face was ugly and silent, as if he was very unhappy.
It was a little confused, lying on the operating table to be bandaged, blinking wildly in pain while thinking that Yan Sui didn't like the name Scar very much...
All right.
Then Mimi is fine too.
Although Yan Sui still had to call him Scar at school, he could call him Mimi at home and outside.
If this could make Yan Sui happier.
The calico cat that was wrapped up like a dumpling moved its paws and tried to hook Yan Sui, indicating that Yan Sui could call it Mimi outside and not be so unhappy.
But Yan Sui just lowered his head and carefully stroked its paws with his slightly cool fingers, with emotions in his eyes that it could not understand.
Very deep and complex.
Ning Ji didn't understand that this emotion was called heartache.
After bandaging, the veterinarian will inform you of care precautions, such as keeping the wound dry and conducting regular check-ups.
Yan Sui arranged for the little white cat to be hospitalized and took the calico cat home.
Before leaving, the pet doctor gently tapped the calico cat's nose, praised it with a smile, and said it was a very powerful little hero.
The calico cat nestled in Yan Sui's arms, feeling a little embarrassed, its furry ears trembling.
When he got home, the calico cat found that Yan Sui was still silent and unhappy, and he hadn't said a word since he drove back.
It didn't understand, so it wagged its tail and pondered in doubt for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.
So the calico cat came to Yan Sui, tapped the screen with its uninjured paw, and asked Yan Sui why he was unhappy.
It took it a long time to type out this line of words. It wanted to raise its head to bite the corner of Yan Sui's clothes, indicating that Yan Sui should look at the tablet, but it didn't expect that when it raised its head, it saw Yan Sui sitting on the sofa with his legs open, his elbows on his knees, just looking at it silently.
After a while, Yan Sui said to him: "I'm not angry."
After he finished speaking, he paused, as if he was organizing his words, raised his hand and rubbed his face, and after a while of silence, he said, "I'm sorry."
"I'm not angry, it's just that I had a hard time controlling my emotions just now, so my face looked a little pale."
The kitten wrapped like a small dumpling tilted its head to look at it.
Yan Sui: "Ning Ji, I'm just a little scared."
"If the situation today is dangerous, if I come a little later, the consequences will be disastrous."
The calico cat raised its head and waved its paws to show that it could win. It tapped the tablet with its uninjured paw to show that it was not afraid.
Yan Sui said, "But I'm afraid."
The calico cat was stunned for a moment.
Yan Sui: "Ning Ji, it's a lie that cats have nine lives. Cats only have one life."
As he was talking, he stopped and the moment when the calico cat covered in blood was thrown to the ground flashed through his mind.
It's no exaggeration to say that, but his mind was completely blank and his heart was almost not beating.
Yan Sui was silent.
It was very difficult for him to confess. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever directly and clearly expressed their concern for him. Therefore, he could only say very slowly and softly: "Ning Ji, I hope you will not do such dangerous things in the future."
"What if something unexpected happens and the cat's soul remains in human form forever, or the human's soul remains in the cat's body forever?"
He remembered that Ning Ji would only respond to soft words, so he lowered his voice and even squatted in front of the coffee table, looking at the cat at eye level, "Ning Ji, I know it's very powerful, but I will be worried."
The kitten with its ears erect was stunned.
After a while, Zongzi the kitten lay on the sofa, a little embarrassed, covered his face with his useless paws, and meowed muffledly, indicating that he understood.
The kitten's nose was suddenly touched.
The calico cat looked up and saw Yan Sui lowering his head. He touched his forehead with his, and his nose touched the tip of his nose. His dark eyes stared at him, and the emotions in his eyes became much stronger.
It tilted its head, blinked, and nuzzled his nose in confusion.
After a while, the intense emotions in Yan Sui's eyes faded away. He raised his head and said to it in a relaxed tone: "Okay, respected Scar Boss, take a rest."
The calico cat meowed at him.
Yan Sui: "Your little brother is staying with the pet. I will send him back when he is cured."
The calico cat nodded with satisfaction.
Yan Sui: "So, Scar Boss, can you take time to call me if you have any problems in the future?"
"If something happens, meow three times and I'll be there right away."
