Chapter 118 It turns out she's his little girlfriend!
When the card reader clicks and the door opens.
The cat that was being sucked is still taking online classes.
After Shi Miao developed the idea of staying after completing the task, she became much more serious about attending classes.
After all, the system is right.
Task completed, system unbound, cat no longer has Little Assistant.
If Shi Miao wants to live and operate as a human being in this society, she needs a respectable academic qualification.
The mountain of humanity, built up through countless lives and deaths, ultimately crushed this little cat.
As expected of a little cat demon who stood out from the crowd, once she really put in the effort, her grades gradually improved.
Occasionally, when encountering a problem he didn't understand, he would take a picture and send it to Jiang Yingxu.
During breaks between classes, Jiang Yingxu would record a video on his phone, writing out the steps while explaining them in a low voice, and then send it to Shi Miao.
What the cat didn't know was...
The video presentations gradually shifted from Jiang Yingxu's self-recording to a third-party recording, actually reflecting the curiosity and gossip of everyone in the training camp.
Who could understand how surprised everyone around Jiang Yingxu, known for his aloof and distant personality, was when he suddenly pulled out his phone during a break between classes one day and patiently explained a math problem at the level of an average high school student in a deep, gentle voice?
An extroverted person volunteered to help record it.
After helping to record the video, ask, "Who is this for?"
As Jiang Yingxu swiped the screen, he said calmly, "For my cat."
"???"
The man initially thought Jiang Yingxu was simply avoiding the question and giving a perfunctory answer.
The next day, Jiang Yingxu seemed to accidentally touch the voice function, and several people sitting close to him heard a sweet female voice.
"Thank you, Teacher Jiang!"
The tone was soft and drawn out, like a fluffy cat's tail gently brushing against my heart.
"??!"
Everyone understood.
So it was his girlfriend!
As for "cat," that's definitely a nickname used between young couples.
Haha, there can't possibly be a cat that's actually trying to learn high school material, right?
The likelihood is as low as if Jiang Yingxu deliberately pressed that voice message.
It's only right to help a couple separated by distance by recording a video explaining a problem!
However, I really want to meet the girl who could melt such a huge block of ice; she must have worked very hard.
"Don't use the same force as yesterday."
Hearing the door open, the cat, as if familiar with the routine, paused its online class, rolled over, and revealed its snow-white belly.
She meowed a little in dissatisfaction.
"You kissed me too hard yesterday, you almost swallowed my hand."
Jiang Yingxu lowered his head and obediently agreed.
Thus, he was granted the privilege of petting cats by the Cat King.
As usual, I buried my face in the cat's warm belly, took a deep breath, letting the wonderful kitten scent fill my entire chest.
Then pinch the cat's pink paws, rub the cat's little ears, and kiss the cat's round head.
Shi Miao's head bobbed up and down as she was kissed, her fluffy tail curling into a small ball.
How did things develop into this situation?
It probably started from the day Jiang Yingxu returned, looking cold and weary.
I couldn't bear to see him so tired, and I was worried that he was suffering from his illness.
The cat awkwardly approached his legs, meowing softly, inviting him to pet it.
The training program was so fast-paced and the pressure was so great.
If I smoked it today, can I smoke it tomorrow? And the day after?
Days passed by in a daze.
Shi Miao felt like she was almost desensitized to the fact that he buried his face in her belly, and she was even familiar with his cat-cuddling routine and strength.
Today we've reached the final step.
Shi Miao was about to jump out of this hard, warm embrace, but as soon as she took a step, she was pulled back in.
Shi Miao: "?"
Jiang Yingxu looked down at her, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, does Miaomiao want to go out and play?"
Shi Miao shook her head decisively.
"It's too cold outside."
In the first two days after arriving in Beijing, Shi Miao was excited to go out with Jiang Yingxu. But as soon as she stepped out of the warm dormitory, she was immediately startled by the gust of wind.
The kitten, Che Kuangci, slid back into Jiang Yingxu's coat, cautiously peeking out only its head, which was pressed against the coat's zipper.
The tip of my nose was drained of color and turned icy cold from the biting wind.
It's so cold, like the winters when she was a homeless person.
This cat was severely chilled during the winter and is afraid of the cold, so it prefers to stay in a heated dormitory.
Jiang Yingxu squeezed her hand and replied gently, "Okay, I think so too. Then let's cook hot pot in the dorm."
The dormitories provided by Tsinghua University are double rooms.
Jiang Yingxu was lucky; his roommate was a local from Beijing who lived nearby and didn't live on campus, so he could enjoy a private room with his cat.
On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yingxu slept until nine o'clock, which was unusual for him. After washing up, he went to the supermarket outside the school to buy ingredients and an electric cooker.
In the afternoon, I held the cat, drew the curtains, and watched a movie together.
In the evening, after washing the vegetables and preparing the meat, I laid them out on the table, with a small pot in the middle bubbling away.
White snowflakes are falling outside the window.
The room was warm and comfortable.
For this national team training camp, a technology company with good technical talent ties to Tsinghua University sponsored each student with a brand-new tablet.
At this moment, the tablet was propped up on the table, playing footage from the Spring Festival Gala, with lively sounds coming from the loudspeaker, serving as a kind of atmosphere booster.
Jiang Yingxu wore loose long sleeves, rolled up the cuffs to reveal his pale and muscular forearms, and scooped the ingredients from the boiling pot and set them aside to cool.
Shi Miao sat upright to one side, watching his meticulous movements, and suddenly recalled the description in the book.
That was Jiang Yingxu's first Spring Festival back at the Yan family home.
The whole family gathered in the old, quaint house, where a long table was filled with delicacies that had been flown in early that morning and carefully prepared by three chefs specializing in different cuisines.
At the dinner table, Yan Zhaozhou was still not used to his suddenly appearing older brother, so he kept his head down, picking at his food without saying a word.
Grandpa Yan Zongjing sat in the main seat, perhaps trying to build rapport, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Xu, how did you celebrate the New Year over there before?"
Jiang Yingxu put down the white jade chopsticks inlaid with gold.
Even in his expensive new clothes, he still exuded a sense of alienation and estrangement from the old house and from everyone in the Yan family.
His dark eyes looked at Yan Zongjing, his voice low and cold, his expression indifferent.
“Last New Year’s Eve, Jiang Tianhao’s theft of money was exposed at the dinner table. Jiang Pinghai and Chen Xiumei had a big fight, overturned the table, and made a mess of the restaurant.”
“I get triple pay for my night shift, so I just grabbed a steamed bun and left. After working all night, I ran into a drunk guy who smashed the store's shelves, so I had to clean them up myself.”
"At four in the morning, I walked home alone."
As soon as the words were spoken, the previously harmonious atmosphere suddenly turned icy.
Yan Zongjing leaned on his jade cane, the kind smile on his face fading, revealing no emotion.
Yan Xingrong and Ji Cailing were always afraid of the old man's cold face, so they subconsciously apologized on Jiang Yingxu's behalf, saying that he was young and ignorant, and that he shouldn't have spoiled the old man's mood during the New Year.
Yan Zhaozhou had never lived such a life before, and it was hard for him to imagine. Looking across at the other side, he saw Jiang Yingxu with his head slightly lowered and a sarcastic smile on his lips.
After dinner, he cornered Jiang Yingxu in the hallway and asked bluntly, "Did you deliberately say those unpleasant things at the dinner table?"
Jiang Yingxu: "Intentionally?"
He calmly said, "If you find even listening to this disappointing, then you shouldn't be questioning me. Instead, you should think about how this is my real life."
"..."
On the tablet, a not-so-funny skit from the Spring Festival Gala was playing, with fake laughter coming from the background.
Shi Miao suddenly took a step forward with her chubby little cat legs, patted her way through Jiang Yingxu's arms, tilted her little head up, and rubbed her head against his chin.
Jiang Yingxu was picking up some hot meat when he subconsciously lowered his eyes, his eyebrows curving slightly. "Are you hungry? It'll be ready soon."
He held the bowl and blew away the steaming heat from the meat.
After it cooled down a bit, I fed it to the kitten. Watching her chew happily, a gentle smile spread across my eyes.
Lai Cheng asked, "Jiang Yingxu, you don't seem tired at all."
How could I not be tired?
Jiang Yingxu is a human being, not a machine. He experiences various negative emotions and may also want to back down or give up.
only.
He gazed at the kitten in front of him.
However, he had a cat he wanted to protect.
Therefore, no matter how difficult the road ahead, Jiang Yingxu will only keep moving forward, growing until he is strong enough to shelter her from the wind and rain and become her support.

May Xiao Jiang and the cat have a sweet and happy New Year!
Looking at the outline, the plot of the cat's true identity being revealed is about to begin, and I think I can write it in the next couple of days! It might be a little different from what everyone expects, hehehe (bites off a rose) (gets pricked) (ouch) (leaves the stage regretfully with the thorn in her mouth)
