Chapter 180 But I want to be with you so much.
The calico cat thus acquired its own name.
The "shi" in "shi" and the "miao" in "miaomiao" are both meaningless.
She repeated it twice in a low voice, the tips of her ears twitching, and the tail hanging under the hem of her shirt couldn't help but wag happily.
The cat likes this name.
The night was deep, but the living room and kitchen were lit with soft light.
Shi Miao sat upright in the chair.
Jiang Yingxu's slippers, which were originally bare feet, were now slipped on. They were a bit big and hung loosely on the insteps of her feet.
She propped her chin on her hand, picking up a crispy dried fish from the white porcelain plate in front of her and crunching it between her teeth.
Jiang Yingxu was cooking for the exhausted kitten that was crying out that it was hungry.
At the same time, I could hear her little mouth making little humming noises.
Cats have a small world, and their troubles are small too.
The cat carrier doesn't feel good underfoot.
After being freeze-dried and rehydrated, it loses its crisp texture.
The new cat food doesn't have that nice fish flavor anymore, bad review.
She said something, and Jiang Yingxu responded.
Cat carrier, change.
Freeze-drying, no water leakage.
Switch back to the original cat food.
Shi Miao hurriedly raised her hand and argued her case based on the last point.
"I am a cat demon."
"I can eat the same food as you."
Jiang Yingxu hesitated slightly, but the cat had already quickly answered its own question and completed the process of agreeing, "Really? Really, really."
The little head nodded repeatedly, indicating its approval.
Confirmed.
At heart, it hasn't changed a bit; it's still that cunning and perpetually self-righteous bad cat.
Jiang Yingxu chuckled softly and placed the porcelain bowl on the table.
Large chunks of salmon exude a unique and delicious aroma.
Shi Miao twitched her nose and stared longingly at the porcelain bowl. "I want to eat... eh?"
Before he could finish speaking...
A sliver of silvery-white light spilled out.
With a thud, the girl vanished in a speck of light, leaving only a loose, unsupported pile of clothes on the chair.
Jiang Yingxu suddenly took two steps forward, "Meow?"
He's such an adorable little cat demon!
I hurried around the table and saw something scurrying around inside my shirt like a headless fly.
Mito surges forward!
With a struggle of its hind paws, it managed to squeeze its head out of its sleeve before Jiang Yingxu could help.
The kitten's pointed face was stuck in the cuff of its sleeve. It looked up pitifully and met Jiang Yingxu's eyes.
"Meow~"
The silly cat felt guilty, so it cried for help and gave a sweet meow.
Good news, the cat is still here.
The bad news is that a cat's transformation is not stable.
The next morning, the kitten, who had regained its usual energy and was bouncing and parkouring on the bed, suddenly transformed back into human form and fell into the blankets.
She rolled up the blanket as if she knew exactly what to do, and after Jiang Yingxu avoided her gaze, she ran to the dressing room and put on his clothes.
Only then did they give a definite answer.
"Because I changed ahead of time."
Jiang Yingxu brought over his slippers, knelt down beside the bed, and put them on the barefoot kitten.
Upon hearing this, he paused for a moment on her slender ankle with his fingertip and gently rubbed it.
"in advance?"
Shi Miao pulled her leg back, "It itches."
He further explained, "According to the memories I have inherited, I need to accumulate a great deal of energy before I can transform into human form."
The kitten's round eyes reflected the shimmering sunlight as it looked at him.
His tone was remarkably natural.
"But I want to be with you so much."
Not just as a kitten.
The cat's body is small; even with all its weight on it, it would only take up the space of one forearm.
There's so little we can do.
Jiang Yingxu works during the day, studies at home, and occasionally leans back on the sofa to close his eyes and take a nap.
When Jiang Yingxu first encountered a business dinner, after drinking, he was brought back by his assistant. He washed his face with cold water, letting the icy water droplets dangle from his brow bone and nose, and stood motionless for a long time by the bathroom sink.
When Jiang Yingxu returned to the Yan family home every week to attend the so-called family banquet, he would inevitably encounter disputes and return home looking weary.
The kitten could only follow closely behind him, jumping onto the sofa or sink, awkwardly nudging him with its head and rubbing against him with its body, trying to dispel the melancholy that enveloped him.
You smell bitter.
The kitten had a lot of comforting words, but could only meow and whine.
Jiang Yingxu would assume she had some need, and he would quickly suppress his emotions, regain his usual gentleness, and try to coax her instead.
If it were humanoid.
She could then, just like in the TV dramas, open her arms and give Jiang Yingxu a super, super big hug.
Then, pressing his head against her chest, she said in a very calm and reliable manner—
People, lean against Mimi's broad chest.
Just imagining that scene makes a cat proudly wag its tail!
Shi Miao swung her legs, which were dangling by the bedside, raised her lips, and said to Jiang Yingxu, who was slightly taken aback, "I thought and thought, and my body really sensed it, so it started to transform."
It was originally a transformation that required accumulating energy for several years.
The anxious kitten forced the time to be compressed into almost half a year.
This has also brought about some aftereffects—
Her transformations are very unstable.
One second she was a bright and beautiful young girl, happily trying on the pretty dress Jiang Yingxu bought for her.
The next second, she landed on the ground with a thud, skirt and all.
A small cat was trapped under the layers of skirts. It flicked its tail twice, too pampered to even struggle. It howled and cried out for Jiang Yingxu to rescue it.
Or perhaps.
One second she was a tiny little thing, stepping on Jiang Yingxu's thigh, tilting her head back and biting into the crunchy freeze-dried food from his hand.
The next second, a flash of silver light appeared, and a long-armed, long-legged girl lay on his lap.
Before she could brace herself with her arms, her face slammed into his strong thigh with a thud. She cried out in pain, and her eyes instantly reddened, brimming with pitiful tears.
Jiang Yingxu: "..."
My eyelids twitched, and without saying a word, I picked up the blanket next to me and covered her with it.
The indoor air conditioning is on all day to maintain the most comfortable temperature for the human body, preventing the cat, which changes form from time to time, from getting cold.
Fortunately, Shi Miao indicated that this was only temporary.
Over time, her transformation ability will gradually stabilize.
Then you'll be able to freely control the switching between human and cat forms.
Besides time, it was also influenced by her consciousness to some extent.
In order to attend Jiang Yingxu's graduation ceremony, Shi Miao started giving herself positive self-talk a week in advance.
On that day, she sat in the passenger seat and kept muttering to herself.
"Change to human, change to human, change to human—"
Jiang Yingxu, with one hand on the steering wheel, glanced at the intersection while waiting at the red light, a faint smile appearing in his dark eyes.
"Are you sure you can control it?" he asked. "Or should you wait for me in the car?"
Shi Miao puffed out her cheeks, clenched her fists, and looked determined.
"I can."
She said, "I want to attend your graduation ceremony and give you flowers!"
Jiang Yingxu's heart softened as if it had been imprinted with a kitten's paw print.
As it turns out, a strong will can temporarily control the randomness of transformation.
Shi Miao sat on a chair in the family area, her cat-like eyes shining, watching Jiang Yingxu walk onto the stage to speak as an outstanding representative of the graduates.
His image was projected onto the large screen.
With upright shoulders and deep-set eyes, he appears somewhat cold and aloof when he is out in public, unlike his gentle demeanor when facing a kitten.
He spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice low and clear, carrying throughout the entire venue through the microphone.
Shi Miao had sharp ears and heard the whispers behind her.
"Is this level of beauty even real?"
"I know Jiang Yingxu from the School of Finance. He's consistently ranked first in both grades and GPA, which is incredibly consistent. The key is that he's often absent from school."
"Not at school, but out competing?"
"No, no, no, I'll go home and inherit the company. I'll study while working in my family's group, and I'll have years of senior management experience right after graduation."
"Genius is one thing, but how come he's also rich? Wait a minute, when I logged into Earth Online, this wasn't an option for me."
"You don't understand, it's a completely hidden version."
"Damn it, why haven't my richest parents, who left me stranded, come looking for me yet!"
Shi Miao subtly curled her lips into a smile.
Yes, Jiang Yingxu is an extremely rare hidden gem!
The speech was brief.
As soon as Jiang Yingxu stepped off the stage, a bouquet of flowers was stuffed into his arms.
All sorts of flowers in full bloom crowded together, their different colors achieving a delicate balance, as if embracing a rainbow, or like a richly colored oil painting.
A very cat-like aesthetic.
The girl was wearing a dress he had carefully chosen; her eyes were bright and her smile was radiant.
"Jiang Yingxu, happy graduation!"
She held the bouquet in her arms for a long time, and it seemed to have absorbed her warmth, spreading from her fingertips to her heart.
Jiang Yingxu tightened his arms slightly, holding the flowers in one hand and holding her hand in the other.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he suppressed the burning emotion before letting out a soft "hmm."
It turns out that when you feel happy, you really can feel your nose tingling.
Elementary school, middle school, and high school.
He was alone at every graduation ceremony.
The students were surrounded by their parents and relatives, receiving blessings from the graduates.
Jiang Yingxu was used to it and calmly observed from the sidelines.
I thought it would continue like this, forever walking quietly and silently on the road to the future.
But.
A cat has come to love him.
