Chapter 203 The cat god who loves him the most in the world.
This year, the anniversary of the death of Jiang's parents falls on a weekend.
In mid-October, Jiang Yingxu bought plane tickets and returned to Ningcheng with Shi Miao.
It wasn't a day for visiting graves like Chinese New Year or Qingming Festival, so the cemetery was very quiet, with only rows of gray-white tombstones standing silently under the dark clouds.
After climbing the steps, I saw an unexpected figure.
The other person was also startled by the footsteps and turned around.
"..."
Jiang Yingxu nodded to Yan Shuli, calmly stepped forward, and placed the bouquet of lilies in front of the grave, next to another bouquet of flowers.
Shi Miao was also carrying a cake box, which she placed neatly on the table.
Although she only spent a week in that small, orderly timeline, she remembered the two people's preferences.
Jiang Pinghu likes desserts, while Meng Lan prefers savory flavors.
Shi Miao untied the ribbon on the cake box, revealing a salted cream cake filled with almond slices.
This kitten is simply a genius!
She pouted and muttered a complaint under her breath, "Someone needs to do something about Jiang Yingxu. He's always reading documents and studying until midnight. I've already taken a nap and when I wake up, he's still reading."
The long-haired cat lay on its back with its paws outstretched. After a short nap, it groggily rolled over and found Jiang Yingxu still watching the tablet.
He insisted that she kick him.
Only then will he obediently put away the tablet, lie down, stretch out his arm, and hug the cat tightly to sleep.
The cat thought, "We need to get him back to his old routine, where he goes to bed at 8:30 sharp."
Jiang Yingxu chuckled and said, "That's too far back in time."
They've all gone back to being six years old.
Shi Miao snorted, "I'm telling my parents, you're not allowed to interrupt."
Jiang Yingxu paused, his gaze softening like a pool of melting snow in spring.
Actually, as soon as the plane tickets were booked, Shi Miao slung herself onto his back, her head pressed against the back of his neck, and muttered to herself with some worry, thinking about what to bring her parents.
She reached out and poked him again.
Tilting her little head, she asked, "Jiang Yingxu, what do our mom and dad like?"
Mom and Dad.
She called out so naturally, and her eyes were so bright, as if her parents had never left, as if they were just children studying away from home, who could come home anytime.
Jiang Yingxu paused for a moment, then pulled the person from behind and hugged him in front of him.
He tightened his arms around her, affectionately nuzzling her cheek, and whispered, "They'll like whatever you bring."
Shi Miao managed to free her arms from his tight embrace, put her hands on her hips, and said smugly, "I think so too."
Even the usually aloof Xiao Jiang has been transformed into a sweet-talking adult by her.
Who doesn't love cats?
This is Xiao Jiang. He's quite talkative with the cat at home, but when he comes to his parents' graves, he purses his lips and seems a little silent.
He only briefly mentioned that he got into Tsinghua University.
Shi Miao rolled up her sleeves, "Let me explain!"
She could go on and on, praising everything from his daily monthly exams, final exams, and joint exam results at No. 1 High School to his math competition gold medal, and then lavishly extoll how much Professor Xia from Tsinghua University valued him.
She stuck a cute heart-shaped candle on the cake, and the flame flickered in the wind.
Shi Miao then said to Jiang Yingxu, "This is Mom and Dad answering us."
The little cat demon has even started practicing feudal superstition.
Jiang Yingxu followed her example, squatted down, stared at the tiny flame, lowered his long eyelashes, and hummed in a muffled voice.
He tilted his head and gently touched Shi Miao's head.
"It's because your parents love you very much."
The kitten nudged him back, its tone unusually cheerful, "You like us!"
After talking a lot and his mouth was almost dry, he finally got Shi Miao to praise him to his heart's content.
Finally, a concluding speech was given.
"Anyway, that's it. Don't worry, Mom and Dad, Jiang Yingxu is doing very well now. We have our own home and a dog."
I will love him well!
Jiang Yingxu looked at her quietly, his gaze direct and intense, with an unspoken focus and devotion.
Upon hearing this, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he tightened his grip on her hand.
The cat god who loves him the most in the world.

Before leaving the cemetery, Yan Shuli, who had retreated to the stone steps, hurriedly caught up with the two, the hem of his trench coat billowing slightly in the wind.
His face was somewhat pale.
He said he recently had a dream.
He added that it wasn't just him; Yan Xingrong, Ji Cailing, and Yan Zhaozhou also had dreams from different perspectives, yet so similar.
In the dream, because of misunderstanding and suspicion, they did many things that hurt Jiang Yingxu.
Perhaps it was divine guidance.
Yan Shuli's fingers, which were hanging by his side, twitched slightly. His gaze, which was still somewhat confused, turned to Jiang Yingxu and became full of guilt.
He said "I'm sorry" softly.
"..."
Jiang Yingxu finally understood why Yan Xingrong and Ji Cailing, who had already accepted a distant yet familiar relationship, would suddenly send almost incoherent messages in the middle of the night and repeatedly apologize.
Jiang Yingxu only said this at the end.
"knew."
-
Not long after I got home, the calendar turned to November, and that was the day I was supposed to have pointy little cat ears drawn on my head.
It was Shi Miao who decided on her own birthday.
How could a kitten remember exactly when it was born?
She decided to set her birthday on the day she met Jiang Yingxu because of the little fish pendant.
Ginkgo leaves fall rustling down the campus, easily creating a golden, dreamlike path.
Jiang Yingxu came out of the teaching building and, based on the message pinned to the top of his WeChat account, went around to Ginkgo Avenue and accurately recognized a huddled figure from the crowd.
Shi Miao was with a few girls, wildly petting the little stray cat in front of them that was meowing and begging for food.
As Jiang Yingxu approached, he heard a girl ask Shi Miao, "Why does it seem a little afraid of you?"
Before Shi Miao could speak, the other girl burst out laughing.
"Don't you know? She's an external expert for the cat associations of the nearby schools. She doesn't need cat cages or nets; she just meows into the bushes, and the cats come out."
Whether they are afraid of people or are relatives, whether they are being taken away for sterilization or medical treatment.
The Cat King makes his move.
It will definitely not fail.
Even if a cat gets so angry that it howls and says it will go back to expose the Cat King's crimes, she quickly stuffs a piece of freeze-dried food into its mouth.
What should I call it?
Come here and have something to eat!
No? Then let's have another jar.
Once you've accepted this bribe, you can't go around saying it out loud, or it will damage the Cat King's reputation in the cat world!
The little girls huddled together, chattering and laughing.
Jiang Yingxu intended to wait quietly by the roadside for a while without disturbing them.
Just as he stopped, he saw Shi Miao suddenly raise her head in the crowd, her round eyes looking around before fixing on him.
She said something to the girls around her, then picked up her bag, stood up lightly, and walked towards Jiang Yingxu.
Jiang Yingxu asked, "Won't we chat a little longer?"
He naturally reached out and adjusted her disheveled hoodie hood.
Shi Miao let him play with her, tilted her little face up, and said happily, "I'm not chatting anymore, it's more important to go celebrate my birthday with you."
"Let's go, let's go."
The cat wants it, the cat urges it, the cat pulls at people.
"I really, really want to see the gift you prepared for me!"
