Chapter 38 is practically telepathic with the cat.
Shi Miao had originally been eager to accompany Jiang Yingxu to class.
The kitten's pointed ears stood up.
The sound of Reid lecturing was captured.
It only takes the time it takes to go from being fully awake to being completely confused, like answering a single question.
Shi Miao's eyes lit up as she listened, curling up like a little cat ball on Jiang Yingxu's lap, almost hypnotized.
no.
Cats shouldn't be so depraved.
Shi Miao shook her head, put on a serious face, and thought about what else she could do to pass the time besides online classes and watching dramas.
The plush bird toy is in my backpack.
But it makes a squeaking sound when you bite into it, which disturbs Jiang Yingxu and the others during class.
Toys... Oh right, the baby carrier is also in the backpack.
Yesterday, the cat added He Rongyi as a friend!
Shi Miao's eyes lit up, and she quietly peeked out from behind the desk. She saw Reid turn around and write the solution on the blackboard, and quickly nudged Jiang Yingxu with her paw.
Jiang Yingxu lowered his head.
Shi Miao gestured with her eyes.
Jiang Yingxu paused for a moment, then raised his hand and pulled open the half-closed entrance of the backpack.
A kitten car sped in immediately, leaving him with only a soft, chubby kitten rear end.
Soon, the large tail swept outwards and slapped Jiang Yingxu's wrist.
Jiang Yingxu readily agreed and lowered his hand, letting the schoolbag completely cover the kitten. Now, even the kitten's butt was nowhere to be seen.
Shi Miao nestled into her schoolbag, feeling comforted.
A great villain, he's practically telepathic with the cat.
The kitten lazily lay down in the backpack, unzipped the small bag with the shoulder strap, and took out the phone.
The paw pads slapped against the screen.
I opened WeChat and found He Rongyi's chat box.
Shi Miao thought for a moment and sent over a cute emoji she had found on the spot, intending to start the conversation gently.
[Cat King: [Kitten waving paw.gif]]
[Cat King: Hello, can you tell me about Jiang Yingxu's past?]
Is it mild? Like warm.
The system was speechless: [How can you chat like that? Weren't we supposed to be more tactful?]
Shi Miao raised her cat paw, looking perfectly justified.
[The cat's paws are inconvenient.]
Being able to type is already quite impressive!
There's no time for roundabout, tactful, or hesitant expressions!
On the other side.
The No. 12 Middle School had a two-day weekend. He Rongyi was helping out at the store when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He took it out and looked at it.
When I see an unfamiliar profile picture and nickname, my first reaction is, "Who is this?"
Upon seeing the message, I suddenly realized what it meant.
The girl who went on a date with Xu Ge yesterday!
He Rongyi thought of the message he received from Jiang Yingxu last night—[She wants to ask about me; I can tell you.]
Fearing he might make a mistake, he cautiously asked another question.
[He Rongyi: Brother Xu, are you two dating?]
[Jiang Yingxu: ...]
Jiang Yingxu: No.
He Rongyi suddenly realized.
So it was the ambiguous stage!
He knows how to provide assists!
Little Red Hair typed with great confidence.
[He Rongyi: Brother Xu has never been in a relationship, never accepts love letters, and never pays attention to girls who try to pick him up on the street. He is extremely chaste!]
White bubbles popped up.
Shi Miao stared blankly at the screen and slowly typed out a question mark.
Who asked you that?
After a conversation between the cat and the silly egg, and the kitten frantically slapping the screen.
He Rongyi finally understood what Shi Miao meant.
[He Rongyi: You want to ask why Brother Xu has so many injuries? What else could it be? He was stuck with that heartless couple. Brother Xu couldn't get living expenses, so he had to find his own way. He was young then, so he could only do odd jobs, and it was inevitable that he would get bumps and bruises.]
[He Rongyi: Actually, this is the most relaxed period Xu Ge has been living in recent years. The high school is really generous with its subsidies. He only needs to find an extra part-time job to cover his daily living expenses. He can save the money he saves for college.]
[He Rongyi: Back in junior high, Xu Ge was truly working incredibly hard.]
He Rongyi only spoke about what he knew.
When Jiang's parents first had their accident, Jiang's uncle and aunt were still willing to put on a show, at least ensuring that Jiang Yingxu could finish elementary school safely.
But starting from the summer before he entered junior high school, Uncle Jiang said directly that the family had no money and that Jiang Yingxu should earn his own money to go to junior high school, and that they would not contribute a single penny.
What kind of jobs can you find at that age?
At a roadside barbecue stall, the workers skewer meat, wash vegetables, serve meals, and wash dishes, working from eight or nine o'clock until two or three o'clock the next day before finally going home covered in smoke and fumes.
The meat was oily and slippery, and the skewers would prick your fingers.
The dishes are of poor quality and break easily; the shards can cut the skin.
The hot steam from the grilled meat can burn your fingers and cause small blisters.
Sometimes we even encounter drunk and disorderly guests.
Jiang Yingxu was pushed out to block the way. He was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who had grown to 1.7 meters tall, but his figure was unusually thin.
Where can you stop a burly, drunken customer?
A scalding hot cigarette butt was pressed against my arm.
He was hit several times with a plastic chair.
He only got up silently when the police arrived, revealing bloody abrasions on his elbows.
He Rongyi was furious when he saw this and wanted to make a scene at the food stall owner.
But Jiang Yingxu stopped him.
The boy had dark eyes and a calm expression. "I received compensation."
Two thousand yuan.
It's comparable to the salary of a whole month of hard work.
After starting junior high school, Jiang Yingxu needed to ensure his studies, so he changed shops and went to help deliver meals every day after school, from six to ten o'clock for four hours, riding a small electric scooter provided by the owner.
Some places are remote and have no streetlights, and the road conditions are poor.
Jiang Yingxu had fallen several times, sustaining numerous injuries on his hands and legs. The most serious incident involved a sharp stone edge grazing the corner of his eye, leaving blood dripping onto half his face. Had he been a fraction more off, he would have gone blind.
[He Rongyi: There was really no other way. Back then, it was impossible to find a good job. They only hired adults.]
[He Rongyi: Later, something happened to my family, so we sold the house and moved away. But I heard Xu Ge briefly mention that I took my report card to a tutoring institution and was packaged as a college student from a prestigious university and attended their classes.]
[He Rongyi: He studied diligently for a semester, but the boss only paid him half his salary and ran off with the money. Parents caused trouble and discovered he was a junior high school student. Some even went so far as to cause trouble at Xu Ge's junior high school, almost getting him disciplined.]
Long, white bubbles stretched across the phone screen.
A few hundred words in short, scattered form.
It tells the story of a young man's journey over several years, marked by blood, sweat, and tears.
He Rongyi concluded by saying:
Anyway, it hasn't been easy for my brother Xu to get this far. If you're interested, could you... be a little nicer to him?
