Chapter 204 Give me a Jiang Yingxu.
Dinner was at a beautifully decorated restaurant with a great atmosphere.
A thick, luxurious woven tablecloth draped a corner over the edge of the table.
A crystal-clear glass vase sits in the center of the table, with a red rose inserted at an angle, its velvety petals still glistening with a few water droplets.
Someone dressed in a tuxedo was playing the piano in a corner of the restaurant. The melodious and soothing tune blended harmoniously with the soft clinking of cutlery and the low murmur of conversation.
Shi Miao knew that this was called a "pretty meal".
She overheard some of her roommates talking about it.
It is indeed very beautiful.
The porcelain plates that were served were carefully decorated, and even the drinks were layered in a dreamy purple-pink hue.
There's just less meat.
Shi Miao forked a piece of steak, chewed it in her mouth, glanced at the passing waiter, and then cautiously asked Jiang Yingxu.
"This looks about the same as the veal steak you used to make for me at home?"
Jiang Yingxu said, "The steaks at home are sourced from the Yan family's ordering channels."
The match was arranged by Yan Xingrong.
Jiang Yingxu doesn't yet have enough capital to dress up in luxury brands and jewelry like he did in his previous life.
But it's possible to make sure she eats well.
Good ingredients and increasingly skilled cooking techniques are what have raised this cat to be the picky eater it is today.
The vegetable salad was pushed directly in front of Jiang Yingxu, as if out of sight, out of mind.
The side dishes for the roast chicken were moved aside.
The drink was pretty good, with a sweet strawberry flavor.
Shi Miao took a couple of sips of her own drink, then set her sights on the cup next to Jiang Yingxu.
"Jiang Yingxu—"
A soft, drawn-out sound at the end.
Jiang Yingxu immediately understood.
"Would you like some red wine?"
That kind of bitter, pungent liquor?
Shi Miao propped her chin up and looked across at the other side, but her gaze wasn't fixed on the deep red wine in the glass; instead, it was on Jiang Yingxu's lips.
Her pale lips were tinged with a touch of crimson and were damp.
It makes the cat's mouth itch, and I feel like I want to lean in and give it a kiss.
Imagination can give food a wonderful flavor.
Shi Miao was eager to try it, "I'll just take a tiny bite."
She treated it as if it were a serious matter, first bringing her nose close to the rim of the glass to sniff, then tentatively licking the wine off her lips.
It doesn't taste particularly special.
He simply took a big gulp and swallowed it down.
"...?"
It tastes sour and a little astringent.
Cat, a loyal fan of the sweet strawberry drink, closed her eyes, wrinkled her little face, quickly picked up her drink, and gulped down two mouthfuls, using the sweet strawberry flavor to dilute the bitterness left in her mouth.
Shi Miao pushed the wine glass back.
She made the final decision: "It tastes awful."
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Jiang Yingxu grabbed his fingertips.
He lowered his head, gently stroking her fingers with his fingertips, then moving up the back of her hand, encircling her wrist and turning it.
The next second.
Something cool, warmed by body heat, touched the back of her hand.
Under the carefully designed lighting of the Western restaurant, a thin gold chain fell onto the fair and delicate back of her hand, with a round little fish pendant resting perfectly between her fingertips.
Shi Miao: "!"
Cats are just like that—they can be very outspoken in asking for gifts, yet they're also incredibly generous in expressing their surprise.
Her eyes widened like a kitten's, and she even shook her hand slightly, letting the light reflected from the gold chain brush across her eyebrows and eyes.
"It's a small fish!"
It's somewhat similar to the pendant I remember; both have round bodies and wagging tails.
Jiang Yingxu gazed at her intently, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"I revised it twice." Seeing that she liked it, Jiang Yingxu breathed a slight sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "The final product is not bad."
"They look very similar!"
Shi Miao praised sweetly, "I absolutely love it!"
After admiring it from left and right, she held out her hand and said, "Put it on for me."
The gold chain wrapped around her slender white wrist, and the small loops were pressed into the S-clasp by her fingertips.
Just as Shi Miao was about to turn her wrist, she suddenly felt something fuzzy fall into her palm, which was slightly open to make it easier for Jiang Yingxu to tie the bracelet.
Jiang Yingxu moved his hand away.
Expose that thing to the light.
It's... a fluffy calico longhair cat!
It's about half the size of a palm and is made with exceptional care.
With its sweet face half black and half orange, and its soft fur spread out in three colors, it sits upright, its amber and light green cat eyes gazing ahead.
Jiang Yingxu observed for an unknown amount of time, and even created the overlapping fur of different colors, making the entire cat felt appear lifelike.
This was the first time Shi Miao had ever looked at herself from this perspective.
It curiously turned it around, then held it high in its palm, facing the light, as if to crown the cat god.
"It really looks so similar..."
Whether it's a small fish or this cat felt.
It turns out that the purpose of collecting her long hair was for this.
Shi Miao had a sudden inspiration and held the kitten next to her face.
He tilted his head.
She looked at Jiang Yingxu with her eyebrows curved, her eyes reflecting the dazzling lights, so bright it was almost sickening.
"Are they exactly the same?"
Are they the same?
Jiang Yingxu stared intently, his gaze almost tangible, slowly tracing her delicate eyebrows, small nose, and rosy lips.
How can felted cat fur compare to a real cat?
He unconsciously swallowed hard, and after a few seconds, he could finally speak in a hoarse voice, giving an irrelevant answer, as if he were bewitched, "...especially cute."
The calico cat also had a small collar around its neck, with tiny, fluffy fish hanging from it, and a clasp at the back.
Shi Miao poked the metal ring. "What's this for?"
Jiang Yingxu's hands must possess some kind of magic for concealing objects; otherwise, how could he conjure up things again and again?
First came the little fish bracelet, then the cat felt.
Now, with a flick of his long fingers, he can draw out a silver chain.
He said with a smile, "You can hang it on your body or on your schoolbag."
A calico cat wobbling along.
Anyone who sees him can tell he owns a cat.
When I miss my cat during class, besides sending a WeChat message, I can also pinch its fur.
Shi Miao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately exclaimed, "I want one too!"
The cat is very generous.
"If I lose a little more fur, you can make me a Jiang Yingxu."
Her eyes were full of anticipation as she gestured with her hand, "I want something this small, just like you, to hang on my schoolbag and take you to and from get out of class."
Jiang Yingxu: ".
Do you poke yourself?
Then should I just spend all day swaying and flamboyantly following Shi Miao around?
That's very interesting.
Jiang Yingxu remained silent, but instead took out the third gift.
This time, there wasn't anything fancy or complicated.
He took it out of his pocket, opened it with a snap, and placed the velvet box on the table.
Let the overhead light clearly outline the pair of round rings.
