Chapter 99 is not just about cats.
Shi Miao was taken aback for a moment.
It would be one thing if they didn't refuse, but why did they actually agree?
Jiang Yingxu still kept his head slightly bowed, his thick eyelashes casting light shadows, calm and indifferent, even docile.
I waited a few seconds, but she didn't make a move.
He lifted his eyelids, revealing a hint of doubt in his dark eyes.
It's as if they're asking, "Why aren't you wearing it yet?"
A few boys in the crowd were still laughing foolishly: "Hurry up and put it on, Shi Miao, what are you standing there for? Jiang Shen has already agreed!"
"Jiang Shen is in a great mood, he's even joking with us, hahaha."
"Are you stupid? You're not in a good mood if you get first place in the country?"
Xia Hui wished she could turn around and punch each of them on the head.
What's all the noise about?
She has absolutely no tact; she's destined to be single her whole life!
In her haste, she reached out and poked Shi Miao's shoulder with her fingertips, wishing she could give him a hard shove and shove him directly into Jiang Yingxu's arms.
What are you babbling about?
Do it for me... no, hug me!
Shi Miao was jolted back to her senses by this sudden movement. A strange emotion, the same one she felt when she received his call yesterday, washed over her. Before she could even process it, she raised her hand.
Instinctively, I didn't want to keep him waiting too long.
The rhinestone crown was light and flimsy, with little weight and no fixed fixtures.
When you touch the slightly cool strands of hair, they will definitely slide down as soon as you let go.
In order to support the crown, Shi Miao subconsciously moved closer to him, her gaze fixed on the small crown, wondering what to do next.
It's strange to keep pressing it.
Letting go and letting it fall to the ground isn't a good idea, is it?
"..."
They're so close.
A certain kitten must have taken a bath a few days ago; when you get close, it brings a light, rich nutty and creamy scent.
Jiang Yingxu remained expressionless, his chest rising and falling with each breath.
Until Shi Miao subconsciously cried out for help, "Jiang Yingxu, it's so slippery..."
Jiang Yingxu suddenly came to his senses, responded in a hoarse voice, took the silly-looking crown from her hand, and pressed it on his head.
The same group of boys burst into laughter.
"Haha, even with Brother Jiang's good looks, he can't handle this thing."
"So funny, hahaha."
"Actually, it looks pretty good after a while. When Brother Jiang wears it, it makes the toy look more expensive, turning it from 99 cents to 99.9 yuan."
Deng Yi, with his hands clasped together in front of his chest, was grinning and watching the two interact with great delight when he suddenly heard the laughter of the others. He muttered under his breath, "Idiots."
Laughing.
While others are already talking, you'll still be stuck there with 99 cents!

The Chinese teacher was too lazy to teach the restless students. He told the class monitor to keep an eye on the self-study period, and then went back to the office with a smile, carrying the photo he had just taken of Jiang Yingxu wearing a small crown.
Xia Hui sat on the podium and said in a routine, "Don't talk, and if you do, keep your voice down."
As school was about to end and there were no teachers around, everyone was whispering among themselves.
Shi Miao simply sat back in the chair, her arms braced against the back, and looked at Jiang Yingxu behind her.
The small crown was placed neatly on the corner of the table.
The boy looked down, took a rectangular box out of his bag, and pushed it to Shi Miao.
"What?"
As Shi Miao asked the question, she naturally reached out and opened it.
It's a pretty thermos, with a light beige base and a round cat head pendant.
Jiang Yingxu: "There are many gifts for the competition, and you can choose them yourself."
"It's cold, here's some water for you."
Shi Miao smiled and thanked her lightly.
Deng Yi raised his hand to say he needed to use the restroom, and strolled past the two people, his eyes sweeping over the small thermos cup before turning away.
Chao asked casually, "Give me a thermos? I thought you were going to give the medal to Miaomiao, Jiang Shen, hahaha."
She left with a casual remark.
Jiang Yingxu hesitated for a moment, pondered for a few seconds, and looked at Shi Miao.
"I'm sorry, I can't give you the medal."
Shi Miao curled her fingertips.
The kitten is probably naturally rebellious; it didn't want this in the first place, but upon hearing this, it suddenly became a little depressed.
The cat works hard to earn money, and we still need to buy him gifts.
As a result, they didn't give the cat a single medal?!
"……oh."
She feigned nonchalance, saying, "It's normal, you wanted to keep it yourself."
"no."
Jiang Yingxu: "I want to give it to my cat."
Shi Miao: "..."
Shi Miao: "…………"
The system prepares to use a sarcastic tone: 【Yo~】
Shi Miao immediately retorted: [Shut up!]
Shi Miao held the thermos cup and asked softly, "You gave such an important medal to your cat?"
Jiang Yingxu's gaze deepened slightly as he quietly looked at her.
"Yes, she is more important than anything in this world."
Shi Miao felt something was strange.
I should be happy, but I feel strange inside.
She rested her chin on her arm as a cover-up, her eyelashes lowered, avoiding his gaze, and muttered, "It's just a cat."
Jiang Yingxu seemed to chuckle softly, his slightly hoarse voice brushing past my ear, his low, gentle tone carrying an inexplicable tenderness.
"Not just that."
-
Shi Miao, being a two-faced cat clone, felt guilty and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
I waited patiently until the school bell rang, then packed my schoolbag.
Jiang Yingxu stood in front of the table and waited for her naturally.
The two walked out of the classroom side by side, heading towards the school gate.
Shi Miao fidgeted with her backpack strap, then broke the silence first, "Were you feeling unwell this time you went out?"
"a little."
Jiang Yingxu looked straight ahead, his tone indifferent, as if he wasn't talking about himself, "I was fine the first two days, but I started feeling a bit unwell the day after the exam."
The threshold will be broken again and again.
At first, even a brief contact, just touching hands, was enough to satisfy them.
Gradually, a single contact is not enough; a larger contact area is needed.
Then comes holding hands, interlocking fingers, and prolonged close contact.
Having experienced daily relief, how can one endure a long period of emptiness?
Shi Miao didn't know if what he said was true or false, but that didn't matter; she had her own way of judging.
She turned her head and looked around. Seeing that she had just reached a corner and there was no one around, she reached out and took Jiang Yingxu's hand.
We just ran into each other.
Jiang Yingxu visibly trembled, then suddenly stood still, his long eyelashes drooping and his profile tense.
He took a deep breath.
"...Is it that uncomfortable?"
Shi Miao slightly opened her eyes wide, her eagerness to help him cure his illness overshadowing that subtle strangeness.
She held Jiang Yingxu's hand tightly, gripped his slightly twitching fingers, and dragged him directly towards the grove next to the administration building.
The trees here are tall and large, their overlapping branches and leaves blocking the faint light from the sky, creating a dim and mysterious atmosphere.
The fallen leaves rustled underfoot.
Shi Miao led Jiang Yingxu to the innermost corner of the woods, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they would not be discovered by passing students.
Looking at the boy who had obediently followed her all the way, she said, "No one will see that you are sick, you..."
Before he could finish speaking...
His fingers were pinned behind his back.
In the dim light, Jiang Yingxu's eyes were dark and deep, and he leaned closer, breathing rapidly.
