Chapter 58 Don't move, let me sleep for a bit.
Ahead, Reid was talking to the driver, mentioning the car that had suddenly braked in the same lane, and praising the driver's skill in narrowly avoiding it.
Several students were shaken awake and whispered among themselves, asking what was going on. The peaceful silence was suddenly broken, and the room became somewhat noisy.
The commotion, however, did not reach the back row at all.
It was as if a soundproof barrier had been erected.
It all started when that soft, white face fell into his palm.
The world is reduced to this tiny patch of land.
Jiang Yingxu lowered his long eyelashes, and beneath his thin eyelids, his pupils suddenly contracted. In that instant, even his breathing changed frequency.
Shi Miao's face was particularly soft.
Her fingertips felt almost like they were sinking into a pile of cotton, soft and smooth, pressed against his palm, transmitting the warmth of another person.
My wrist trembled uncontrollably.
Jiang Yingxu had lost count of how long it had been since he had been in contact with other people like this.
They were pressed tightly together without any gaps.
Unlike a kitten's soft, long fur, this is genuine, warm skin.
The finger bones stiffened to the point of turning bluish-white, and blue veins appeared on the back of the hand.
I had to use almost all my restraint to stop myself from shaking too much.
Can't……
cannot……
Don't wake her.
Jiang Yingxu tried his best to suppress his heavy, erratic breathing, his long fingers twitching as he tried to push Shi Miao's head back onto his shoulder.
But with each movement, it sinks deeper into those soft cheeks, as if caressing them tenderly.
He had done many odd jobs and written countless exam papers, so his fingertips inevitably developed rough calluses.
The friction left faint red marks on my soft cheeks.
Shi Miao frowned slightly.
She was so delicate; when she was hurt, her droopy eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes groggily.
Jiang Yingxu's breath hitched.
Shi Miao was so tired that making a cat who could sleep for most of the day follow the senior year schedule was torture. She finally had a holiday, but she still had to get up early to catch the bus.
And, for some reason, I always find it particularly easy to fall asleep while being rocked around in the car.
She let out a muffled groan, the words stuck together and impossible to understand.
Her long eyelashes trembled, barely managing to lift a slight curve.
His amber eyes, filled with weariness, looked at Jiang Yingxu.
The boy pressed down on his lips, his dark hair falling over his high brow bone, concealing the cold sweat dripping from his forehead. His eyes were dark and his demeanor was extremely aloof.
"...Jiang Yingxu".
Shi Miao struggled to blink, thinking she was pronouncing her words clearly, but in reality she was just muttering softly.
In other words, Jiang Yingxu understood.
He answered in a hoarse voice, "It's me."
It's Jiang Yingxu, the big villain, and the cat's most trusted little brother.
Shi Miao made an equation in her mind, and then the one bar of electricity that she had barely managed to hold on to was completely emptied.
She closed her eyes and, purely out of habit and instinct, moved forward like a kitten.
Kittens express trust and friendliness by rubbing their heads together.
Shi Miao grabbed his arm, pulled her soft, white cheek away from his burning palm, and pressed it against Jiang Yingxu's cheek, rubbing it haphazardly.
An odor label has been completed.
She tilted her head again and pressed her head against the side of his neck.
The voice was as soft as melting ice cream.
"Don't move... I'm so sleepy, let me sleep for a bit."
"..."
Jiang Yingxu stared straight at the curtains fluttering in the cold air from the air conditioner. After a long while, until the breathing around him became calm, he lowered his eyes like a puppet with its strings cut, frame by frame.
My back was already covered in cold sweat.
The other person's body temperature and scent lingered on the skin, bringing an irritating, stinging, and itchy sensation.
Scratching, hitting, rinsing with hot and cold water, slicing across with a pen tip...
Anything is fine.
It should be covered by more intense pain.
Alternatively, one could completely distance oneself from the root cause of the illness.
Otherwise, the itching sensation of dermatophytes will penetrate deep into the bone marrow, like incurable neuralgia, driving a person mad.
But Jiang Yingxu did nothing.
He simply sat quietly, willingly serving as Shi Miao's pillow amidst the overwhelming pain and itching.

This competition training camp was spearheaded by the Affiliated High School of Jiangcheng University, with the spots mainly allocated to the neighboring cities of Ningcheng, Jincheng, and Huacheng.
The class will be held in Shensi Building at Jiangnan University.
Accommodation will be arranged in vacant dormitory buildings at Jiangnan University.
Buses from different cities pulled up in front of Shensi Building.
The principal of Jiangda Affiliated High School stood in front of the building, dressed in a suit and trousers. With a gentle expression, he greeted the teachers leading the students and looked on with loving eyes as they filed into Shensi Building.
Reid and Principal Hao were very familiar with each other. They shook hands and Reid said with a smile, "It will be hard for you again, Principal."
Principal Hao smiled and said, "It's not hard work, it's all for the children."
Her gaze swept over the students of Ningcheng No.1 Middle School.
"I heard that the student you praised so much has finally come to participate in the training camp?"
Reid raised his eyebrows, thinking of the test papers he had recently received from Jiang Yingxu.
He was anything but modest, gripping Principal Hao's hand with a slight squeeze, his smile exuding a fierce air.
"Principal Hao, how about we have a competition?"
"There must be several exams scheduled for this training camp, right? Let's see if your students are better, or if Ningyi Middle School is better."
Principal Hao responded with great interest.
She sensed the confidence in Reid's words, and while she was curious, she wasn't afraid at all.
The students at Jiangda Affiliated High School are no pushovers; they are all outstanding.
"Okay, then tell me, what do you want to compete in?"
Reid: "The number of students from your affiliated high school who made it into the provincial team is the same as our Ningyi High School, eighteen each. So let's get straight to the point and compare total scores."
"As for the prize... how about this: if your affiliated high school has a higher total score, I'll treat them to a nice meal; if our Ningyi High School has a higher total score, you'll treat my students to a big meal, how about that?"
The teachers from other schools stood aside, listening with smiles, without considering joining.
After all, among the dozen or so schools that came this time, whether it's the number of students in the provincial team, the medals in the finals, or the number of students in the national team, Jiangda Affiliated High School and Ningcheng No.1 High School have basically been the top two every year.
These two schools are competing to see who is the best.
Let's just forget about their primary school.
Principal Hao laughed heartily and readily agreed.
Soon, the students competing in different classrooms all heard the news.
Physics Competition Classroom.
The teacher who was supposed to give the lecture hasn't arrived yet.
Jiang Yingxu lowered his head and placed the ballpoint pen and draft paper on the table.
Suddenly someone laughed loudly, "This competition is too easy. Last year and the year before, our Jiangda Affiliated High School was the top in the province. This year, with Fu Ze and You Xuan, the result is a foregone conclusion."
Others echoed this sentiment.
"Exactly, all we have to do is wait for the feast."
"The feast hosted by the teachers of Ningyi Middle School must be especially delicious."
The people from Jiangda Affiliated High School are so arrogant.
Ningcheng No.1 Middle School could hardly tolerate this.
Lai Cheng immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up, "What are you so smug about?"
"As far as I know, the students who made it to the national team in the previous two years were all senior high school students, right? What you're praising is their ability and excellence. Are you really that shameless, taking your grades as your own and sticking them on your face?"
"I don't care about your names, Ze or Xuan. This time, we're comparing everyone's total score, total score, understand?"
"Besides, do you think Ningyi High School doesn't have any outstanding students?"
Lai Cheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Yingxu.
Super loud sound:
"Jiang Shen, let them see what you're capable of!"
Jiang Yingxu, suddenly finding himself the center of attention in the entire classroom, thought, "...?"
