Chapter 3 The Cold-Hearted Cat Lord!
Moths fluttered around the streetlights.
The streets were deserted; the day students had long since gone home, with only the occasional car speeding by.
Jiang Yingxu, carrying his schoolbag in his right hand, stepped out of the dimly lit alley.
The streetlights cast large beams of light, illuminating his thoughtful expression.
With his long eyelashes lifted, his superior eyesight allowed him to clearly see the current scene through the dark glass door of the small shop across the street.
He, and the long-haired calico cat that stood firmly on his shoulder.
The kitten peeked out and looked around, its fluffy tail wagging back and forth in the air.
Jiang Yingxu thought of the "feeding agreement" he had signed in the alley.
...A little cat demon used up all the demonic power it had cultivated to save him.
Therefore, Jiang Yingxu is responsible for supporting her.
Until her demonic powers were restored.
That comfortable coolness didn't seem like an illusion.
But when you get to the bottom of it, isn't the root cause of his skin-thirsty disorder this little cat that fell from the sky?
"..."
Unable to sense Jiang Yingxu's complex thoughts, Shi Miao felt she had cleverly latched onto the future villain.
She looked around and patted Jiang Yingxu's head with her paw.
The cat said, "There's a pharmacy over there."
Jiang Yingxu silently raised his eyes and looked at the brightly lit 24-hour pharmacy not far away.
Shi Miao: "I can only help alleviate your most serious injuries. You'll have to take care of the minor wounds yourself."
The soft, meowing sound, upon entering the ear, automatically transforms into a sweet, melodious female voice.
Jiang Yingxu paused for a few seconds, nodded solemnly, and walked over.
He needs to see if there are any psychotropic drugs available that can treat auditory hallucinations or hysteria.
The glass door of the pharmacy was half open, letting in a refreshing coolness.
The sales clerk, an older woman, was sitting behind the counter playing on her phone. Hearing footsteps, she casually greeted, "Hello, what would you like to buy... Oh!"
She was startled by Jiang Yingxu.
The boy's school uniform was covered in dust and blood. His eyebrows and eyes were cold and sharp, and there was a scar across the bridge of his nose. His left hand, which was hanging down, was covered in blood, and the dried blood was sticky between his slender fingers.
His eyes, however, were dark and calm, as if he had only put on battle-damaged makeup.
What's even more eye-catching is the beautiful and lively calico cat on his shoulder.
"Did you get into a fight? You're badly injured, should I call the police for you?"
The aunt was very kind, especially when she saw his familiar school uniform.
No. 1 High School is the best high school in Ningcheng.
This young man seems quiet and reserved; could he be being extorted?
Jiang Yingxu shook his head.
"I fell down."
His words were brief, his voice slightly dry and hoarse: "Get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide."
"No, you can't. Your wound is quite large. You can't disinfect it directly with hydrogen peroxide. It will hurt a lot and leave a scar!"
What kind of fall could cause such a serious injury, with blood everywhere?
Seeing that Jiang Yingxu was unwilling to say more, the aunt did not press him. She simply walked out from behind the counter and waved to him, "Come with me, I'll get you a bottle of saline solution to rinse your wound."
Jiang Yingxu did not move.
He didn't want to accept other people's kindness, his expression was indifferent, and he was about to say no.
Suddenly, I felt a gentle push from a claw on my head.
The kitten muttered, "Go quickly, you smell of blood."
Such a long wound.
Shi Miao has always been delicate and afraid of pain; just looking at her makes me feel pain.
Jiang Yingxu, however, seemed completely oblivious to his injuries, ignoring them entirely.
As I got up to get my schoolbag, the movement of the knife wound on the back of my hand caused a little more bright red, hot blood to gush out.
Shi Miao's tail fur stood on end.
Jiang Yingxu remained unmoved, pulled a tissue from his bag, and roughly and casually wiped his face before calling it a day.
The villain is too ruthless to himself.
Shi Miao meowed.
"I'm your savior cat, you have to listen to me, understand?"
Jiang Yingxu's eyebrows twitched slightly, his long eyelashes fluttered, and as he thought of the medicine he wanted to ask about, he suddenly turned his head and spoke in a low, cold voice.
"You stay here."
Shi Miao: "?"
Shi Miao: "Why?"
What is something that our noble cat master cannot see?
Jiang Yingxu didn't even blink. "I need to use the restroom."
Shi Miao: "..."
Shi Miao: "Oh."
I'm really not interested in that.
She jumped off Jiang Yingxu's shoulder dejectedly and stood on the glass counter.
It was then rolled into a triangular rice ball.
Jiang Yingxu followed his aunt to the restroom behind the pharmacy.
The saline solution was poured onto the back of my hand, the moist water washing away the sticky bloodstains, leaving a reddish stain in the white sink, emitting a faint, sweet scent.
Jiang Yingxu seemed to feel no pain, calmly rubbing away the congealed scabs near the wound.
Her dark hair fell across her forehead, casting a faint shadow over her eyebrows and eyes.
He asked, "Are there any medications for treating auditory hallucinations or hysteria?"
His aunt grimaced as she watched him scrub vigorously, then paused for a moment, "Treatment for auditory hallucinations? Hysteria? Those are psychiatric medications, which can only be prescribed at the hospital."
Jiang Yingxu paused for a moment, then whispered his thanks.
His aunt looked at his somber profile, and her heart, filled with the kindness of the older generation, began to nag him with concern: "Young man, everything will pass, no matter what happens to you. Don't keep it to yourself, talk to your parents more often..."
Mom and Dad.
A bottle of saline solution was drained quickly, with the last few drops splashing onto my wrist.
The sink drained slowly, and the sink was filled with a pool of reddish liquid.
Jiang Yingxu stared at the pool of water, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
A sticky, scarlet red seemed to flash before my eyes again.
My stomach, which hadn't eaten for almost a day, was cramping up, and I felt a surge of nausea and pain.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead again.
He gave a curt "hmm" without much emotion, then turned on the tap with his wet fingers, rinsing away the last bit of blood.
"Yes, thank you, Auntie."
As you walk out of the restroom, you can see the little cat on the glass counter from afar.
Its large tail, black, orange, and white, drooped down to the counter, swaying lightly and casually.
It even attracted the orange cat owned by the stationery store owner next door, whose big round face was pressed tightly against the glass door, staring at it with drooling eyes, its meows full of flattery.
The kitten didn't look at it, but instead tilted its little face slightly upwards and stared at the air.
He looked very focused.
Under bright light, the pupils shrink to a thin vertical line, and the light amber irises reveal a faint green tinge.
[...]
Jiang Yingxu paused slightly, raised his eyes without making a sound, and glanced at the empty space in mid-air.
-
As soon as Jiang Yingxu left, the system appeared in front of Shi Miao.
He blurted out abruptly: "You're too soft-hearted."
Shi Miao was still watching the slender figure passing by behind the door when she heard this and suddenly looked away, her cat-like eyes wide open.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Shi Miao huffed. "This is how I complete my mission, do you understand?"
[If I don't get close to him first, how can I get him to listen to me and follow the plot!]
[Besides, his wound is so big! It can't be left untreated!]
At most, I just thought the main villain was kind of good-looking.
It perfectly matches a cat's aesthetic.
There's also a kind of inexplicable closeness.
It makes the cat a little restless, wanting to rub its head against him and let him get its own scent.
So I just couldn't bear to see any scars left on him.
The system replied coolly: "I must remind you, only after completing the mission can we return to the Main God Space."
Whether you're soft-hearted or feel sorry for him, you must let Jiang Yingxu complete his assigned storyline.
The rest is up to you.
Anyway, the system has seen plenty of cases where the mission takers, the protagonist, the villain, and the cannon fodder get together, either individually or all at once.
It lit a data stream cigarette, its weathered appearance barely concealing its age.
I think as long as Shi Miao doesn't forget the task, I can get a higher score.
Shi Miao twitched her ear tips and puffed out her white, furry chest.
【certainly. 】
She was not familiar with the system, but she had experienced the world, spoke with conviction, had a clear conscience, and was extremely open and honest.
【I am a cold and ruthless cat!】
The system replied with satisfaction: "That's good..."
Before he could finish speaking, the bathroom door opened.
Jiang Yingxu walked out slowly.
The cold and ruthless cat suddenly raised its tail, patted its kitten paws, and ran along the glass counter.
