[President Chapter 3] Cat, thank you
Early the next morning, He Sinian took Chu Jiao to work.
The beggar surnamed Wang also found the kitten in He Sinian's arms when he woke up in the morning, but he didn't eat or drink his food, so he didn't care.
The people here have experienced too much indifference and darkness of human nature, and they don't care about meaningless people and things.
The place he often goes to is the overpass of a large comprehensive shopping mall in the center of M City. Every day, people come and go here, gathering a large number of customers. Although most people are in a hurry, there are always a small number of people who will have sympathy for a thin and pitiful little boy and give him some change.
Eight or nine in the morning is the morning rush hour. The commuters were in a hurry, but on an overpass, many people slowed down their pace unconsciously, and couldn't help but glance at a little beggar sitting on the side of the overpass.
The little beggar looked only six or seven years old, wrapped in an ill-fitting torn cotton jacket, with a dirty little face, but a handsome outline. His face was red and cracked by the cold wind, but his eyes were big and black, looking like a pool of stagnant water, without the curiosity and innocence that a normal child should have, but with a heartbreaking desire for life.
Unlike usual when he knelt there alone without saying a word, on this day, he had a companion beside him.
He lowered his head from time to time and spoke to his bulging chest, with a cute smile on his lips all the time.
People with sharp eyes passing by him could see what he was holding in his arms at a glance.
It was a kitten that was no bigger than an average person's palm, with a pink nose and pupils like gemstones, shining with violet brilliance. The kitten was snow-white all over, making people feel soft, but the white fur was occasionally streaked with black and gray dirt, which was very unsightly.
The little boy and the kitten, shivering in the cold winter wind, looked pitiful and cute.
"Oh, look, so cute~"
Among the couples passing by, eight out of ten felt sympathy when they saw this scene, and their motherly love overflowed. They couldn't help but search their backpacks and stuffed a few coins into the broken bowl in front of the little boy. There was
also a girl who had already walked across the overpass, but ran back and stuffed the unopened hot milk and a small basket in her hand to He Sinian.
He Sinian did not refuse. In fact, compared with money, he was more grateful to the kind people who gave him food. Because for him, he could not get a penny of the money, but he could eat the food directly to fill his stomach and survive.
He Sinian tore a small hole in the milk, chewed the bun, and poured the milk on his chest. Chu Jiao lay on his clothes, licking it bit by bit with her little pink tongue. A cat and a person, quietly eating on the noisy overpass with people coming and going, as if a small world was separated, a small world belonging only to the two of them.
"Thank you."
He Sinian politely thanked everyone who donated money, and was surprised to find that the money he received in such a short time was more than half a day.
"Meow~"
Every time He Sinian thanked, the kitten in his arms would meow, as if responding with him. This made passers-by more curious and interested, and they put money in one after another, wanting to hear if the kitten would have the same reaction.
He Sinian didn't notice it at first, but as he saw more and more money in the bowl, he was surprised and happy.
"Cat, thank you." You are really my lucky star.
He lowered his head and kissed the cute little head without feeling dirty at all.
Chu Jiao also raised her little face, stretched out her tongue and licked the corner of the boy's mouth.
No matter how domineering and arrogant the male protagonist of this world will be after becoming the president, in Chu Jiao's heart now, he is still just a pitiful little boy.
A child who has to wander around the streets and alleys at a young age and struggle to survive.
Chu Jiao wanted to help him, but now she has the will but not the strength. Her body is tired and hungry all the time. She is so fragile that Chu Jiao is very uncomfortable with not sleeping for a month in the previous world, but she can't do anything about it.
Who said she is just a kitten?
