Chapter 3
"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat?"
Meow~
I won't eat your food, you awful human!
The kitten painfully pushed away the limited edition can of cat food in front of it and buried its head in its body.
Hearing the man's footsteps receding into the distance and the sound of running water in the bathroom, it cautiously raised its head, surveying its surroundings and looking for an opportunity to escape.
The only window in the room was directly in front of the desk. It easily opened the cage door, silently stepped across the ground with its paws, jumped onto the desk, opened the window, and then stared blankly.
The window was completely sealed off by fine-mesh wire mesh, leaving no blind spots. It tried to pry it open and almost broke off its claws.
Having failed to escape, the kitten angrily sharpened its claws on the table, only to be suddenly drawn to the brightly lit computer screen.
[Project Proposal for Joint Clinical Training Program on Stray Animals with Universities in City A]
Its alarm blared, and it jumped onto the keyboard to flip through the pages.
Wow, it's another charity project!
Six universities in City A have joined forces to incorporate stray animal rescue into their veterinary medicine curriculum, providing services such as sterilization and vaccination for these animals.
The preliminary preparations are basically complete. The next step is to launch and implement the plan—meow, the PPT isn't finished yet.
Although it's not finished, just looking at the previous parts, the feasibility is surprisingly strong. If it can be finalized before the FA scholarship competition, the competitiveness will definitely be stronger...
Wait a minute, meow. The kitten shook its head. How can you boost someone else's morale while diminishing your own?
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and the kitten quickly restored the PPT to its original state, hurriedly returned to its cage, and pretended to be asleep.
A human male named Jiang Chengyi walked out wearing a bath towel, and the kitten peeked out from between his paws.
The person's exposed upper body was very white, not the bloodless paleness of Yu Miaomiao, but a healthy jade white, glowing under the warm yellow indoor light.
He was drying his head with a towel, revealing well-defined, yet not exaggerated, muscles in his shoulders, back, and upper arms.
Yu Miaomiao quickly closed her claws.
"Meow!"
Then, realizing how strange his behavior had been, he moved his paw away and continued to peek with a straight face.
Jiang Cheng dried his hair, changed into his pajamas, and squatted down to observe the kitten.
"You haven't eaten yet?" The tone was slightly doubtful.
He opened the cage door, scooped up the kitten, and swiftly stroked its soft belly.
"So I was full."
He put the cat back in its place, turned off the light, and went to bed.
Before getting into bed, he looked at the kitten with its big, round, bright green eyes that seemed to hold a deep grudge, and said helplessly:
"Little cat, don't hate me, I'll find you an owner tomorrow."
After saying that, he found it funny. It was just a little kitten; how could it have such a rich range of emotions?
-
As night deepened, the person on the bed began to breathe heavily. Yu Miaomiao pushed open the cage door and stepped out.
It glanced hesitantly at the door. Now was the best time to escape. As a nimble little cat, opening the door was a piece of cake for it.
But the kitten hesitated.
If I leave now, it will be difficult to see the complete plan for that project again, and I won't know the exact implementation date.
This was an absolute torment for Yu Miaomiao, who was used to knowing herself and her enemy.
Moreover, after intensively searching for information on past FA scholarship recipients, she had to admit a previously overlooked fact—volunteer projects and public service are truly important.
Even someone as arrogant as her had to admit: Jiang Chengyi's advantage in this area was frighteningly strong.
Previously, Yu Miaomiao had looked down on public welfare and volunteer activities.
Her goal is to get into the Demon Supervisory Committee, the most powerful organization in the eyes of demons.
In her view, only those tangible honors and awards recognized by the Demon Supervisory Committee are worth striving for; everything else is dispensable.
But now, for the sake of the FA scholarship, the most prestigious award at University A, Yu Miaomiao has no choice but to reluctantly venture into this completely unknown field.
And she must achieve something in this area before the FA scholarship competition begins three months later.
So let's start by understanding the projects that Jiang Chengyi has handled.
Yu Miaomiao set herself a task.
The next two days are the weekend, and she needs to infiltrate Jiang Chengyi's home to find out not only when the project will be launched, but also to learn about his other trump cards.
It would be best to get the secret details of project planning and implementation, as well as investment channels, from him.
She didn't think the task was difficult—after all, who would be wary of an adorable little kitten?
Yu Miaomiao believed that with her intelligence, replicating several similar projects would not be difficult.
The FA scholarship is definitely hers!
-
The next day, the kitten that I had imagined last night was still asleep when someone picked it up and took pictures of it from all sides.
Given that Yu Miaomiao had already decided to infiltrate this human man's home for a period of time, she endured the humiliation and did not resist.
Jiang Cheng posted a picture of a kitten with a few lines of text in the building group and the community group. After waiting for a long time without any response, he posted it again in the local community group and the forum.
There were quite a few comments, hundreds of them praising the kitten's beauty and the burlap sack, with only a few useful ones.
I saw this cat at the North Campus of University A in April; it didn't go missing recently.
The kitten seems to have been a stray around University A since last year. I've never seen anyone post a missing cat notice in all this time; maybe it was deliberately abandoned…
The person who deliberately abandoned the cat deserves to die! If you don't want such a cute cat, please give it to me!
[I second that if the original poster can't find a cat's owner, please give me a chance to adopt it.]
To be fair, Yu Miaomiao is indeed a very cute little kitten.
Perhaps due to congenital deficiencies, the kitten, even though it is an adult cat, is still excessively small in size.
Its golden fur is fluffy and soft, like a dandelion. Its nose and paw pads are light pink, and its big, round eyes are clear lake green. When it tilts its head to look at people, it can make any human's heart melt.
Jiang Cheng turned his gaze from the phone screen to the kitten on the ground.
"Kitten, were you abandoned by your owner?"
Even when making a seemingly heartwarming gesture like talking to a cat, Jiang Chengyi's tone remained completely neutral.
Yu Miaomiao was ravenously devouring the limited-edition Cat Delight brand cat food—this was cat food that she couldn't buy even if she set an alarm and waited for it, and Jiang Cheng's family actually had two whole big boxes of it!
Suddenly, it was lifted up to be at eye level with humans.
"Meow?"
She tilted her head and looked at the humans, her green eyes wide open in a daze, pretending to be an ordinary little kitten that couldn't understand human speech.
Superficial and appearance-obsessed humans are most susceptible to this.
"Don't worry, little kitten."
Human male voices are low yet crisp, like the clinking of gold and jade, making a cat's ears itch.
"I will find you a new owner."
The kitten lowered its head and pressed its front paws down on its twitching ears.
Meow~
Give up, I'm going to stay at your house.

Small Theater
When Yu Miaomiao first arrived at University A, she could only stay in the dormitory due to the school's regulations.
However, due to insufficient demonic power, he occasionally needs to transform into his original form.
This is where the story begins.
One day, Yu Miaomiao accidentally clicked on the school's confession wall.
[Wall, this kitten seems to be lost. Please help spread the word to find its owner.]
Seven or eight high-resolution photos of the lost kitten were attached.

...
The cat in the picture is indeed very small, or rather, excessively small. Compared to the fallen leaves of the plane trees next to it, it is even smaller than the leaves. Its fur is clean and fluffy, and under the sunlight, it looks like a transparent golden dandelion.
Its round, lake-green eyes seem to always be glistening with moisture, and when it looks at the camera, it seems to be accusing humans of not coming to touch it.
The comments under the post were initially normal, all discussing the cat's disappearance.
[Don't worry, I'll repost the photo to the confession wall at the university next door.]
[Those who keep cats at home should make sure to seal their windows and close the doors tightly when leaving the house, otherwise their cats can easily get lost.]
Could it have been deliberately abandoned?
[Just kidding, no one could bear to abandon such an adorable cat.]
[It shouldn't have been abandoned. I've seen this cat since the start of the semester. If it were truly a lost cat, it wouldn't be this clean after two months. It's probably a stray cat from elsewhere that wandered into A University.]
...
[By the way, what breed is this kitten? It's so cute, I want to buy one too.]
[Golden Shaded? It looks quite similar.]
[Upstairs, this is definitely not a golden shaded cat. The coat color and face shape don't match. My family owns a pet shop and I've handled countless purebred cats. Trust me.]
What breed is it?
I don't know, I've never seen it before.
Don't be so self-righteous, it's infuriating!
[Stop arguing, everyone. I'm coming clean. This is my child!]
[What do you mean "your offspring"? This is clearly my cat! Where did you take these photos? I'm bringing a sack—no, a cat carrier—right now to take it back.]
【Hiahiahia, kittens are born to be eaten by their mothers, kittens want their mothers to kiss them muamuamua】
[Kitty...my kitty, hehe, so small and cute, it must taste delicious...is it like marshmallow...hehe...]
[Cat, will you turn into a catgirl, a blonde loli, hehehe...]
【Die, furry!】
The comments section gradually shifted in tone and became increasingly offensive.
How terrifying humans are!
Yu Miaomiao was shocked and almost smashed her phone. From then on, she never looked at the confession wall again.
But in a place unknown to Yu Miaomiao.
Jiang Chengyi, who was then an ordinary member of the Stray Animal Association, was given a mission.
"Chengyi, I heard there's a stray cat near the girls' dormitory. Go catch it."
But by then Yu Miaomiao had already learned her lesson and had hidden her whereabouts.
Jiang Cheng waited with a cage for half a month, but didn't see a cat, so he had to give up.
Fate is so unpredictable~
