Chapter 185 Wait for me to come back, let's start dating.
What should you do if you encounter a cat king who breaks into your home like a robber?
—I should say thank you.
Jiang Yingxu strongly suspected that when the cat said it would seriously consider it, it was just a perfunctory response that cats were used to giving to humans.
Just like when it doesn't want to move, when faced with the earnest calls of humans, it will only wag its tail and twitch the tips of its ears, without moving its body at all.
I agreed to give it a good consideration only because Jiang Yingxu brought it up.
For example, right now.
The long-haired cat lazily stretched, rubbed its paws on the scratching post, and then leisurely and elegantly slipped into the kitchen.
A small pot of corn and pork rib soup was bubbling away, its unique sweet and savory aroma filling the entire space.
The liquid cat squeezed through the crack in the door, gathered its strength, and leaped onto the marble countertop, pattering as it approached Jiang Yingxu, who was holding a spoon.
She climbed up the fabric of Jiang Yingxu's left arm, quickly reaching his shoulder, and boldly leaned in to touch his cheek with her pink nose.
I'll give you a kiss!
After the kiss, it leisurely lay down again, its two front paws elegantly crossed, and let out a soft meow.
"Can I think about it now?" she asked.
This was a new ability that Shi Miao discovered after she gradually gained control over her transformation. By conveying that strange energy within her body when she spoke, Jiang Yingxu could understand her.
To outsiders, it still sounds like a kitten's sweet meow.
Only Jiang Yingxu could understand the meaning behind the cat's meow.
Finally, I no longer have to painstakingly chant "become human, become human, become human" in my mind when I want to communicate.
Or they might use their paws to pat the phone screen, struggling to select words on the tiny virtual keyboard, often resulting in a string of gibberish.
Writing just one line of text is exhausting!
We are hiring a cat typist. The reward for one day's work is a small dried fish treat!
Jiang Yingxu scooped up a small bowl of soup and set it aside to cool.
Upon hearing this, he chuckled softly.
The very polite cat promised to think it over carefully, but ended up poking Jiang Yingxu every few days.
Or it could push the tablet out of his hand with its head and pop out a cat's head.
Or, before he goes to sleep, a cat might land on his chest and slap his face with a paw amidst his muffled groans.
Or perhaps it's like it is now.
It swaggered over and took his shoulder.
The cat asked hesitantly, "Can she say now that she's made up her mind?"
Jiang Yingxu said no, he would think about it again.
She would throw a small tantrum and slap Jiang Yingxu's head with her pink paws.
Sometimes it would flick its tail in his face, leaving a few long cat hairs behind.
How terrifying is the Cat King's punishment!
This time, they even developed a new method: with a flick of their fluffy tail, they wrapped it around Jiang Yingxu's neck.
The cat sharpened its claws, then leaned in close to the furry face, threateningly saying, "I'll strangle you!"
Jiang Yingxu felt the soft, fluffy fur brushing against his neck, like a warm cat fur scarf, and a smile flickered across his lowered eyes.
"Yes," he said cooperatively. "I was wrong."
The cat snorted twice and slapped its tail.
She knew that this person would readily admit his mistakes, but would never change them!
They are such wicked humans!
Although, although cats are like that too, haha (eyes shift) (calm) (confident)
Dinner consisted of corn and pork rib soup, cola chicken wings, and stir-fried romaine lettuce.
As always, the cat avoided the plate of lush green lettuce and happily ate the sweet cola chicken wings for kids.
Jiang Yingxu placed a warm bowl of soup next to her and then picked up a piece of bok choy with his chopsticks.
When Shi Miao puffed out her cheeks and reluctantly stuffed it into her mouth.
He said, "I'm going to Sugijo tomorrow."
Shi Miao swallowed the food after chewing it a couple of times. Her brows were already furrowed, and when she understood the meaning behind Jiang Yingxu's words, her face immediately fell.
Aren't you taking me with you?
She asked, unwilling to give up.
The kitten looked at them with pitiful eyes, and its whimpering was drawn out.
Jiang Yingxu almost wavered, but after a pause, he still shook his head.
"I'll be mostly out this time and won't be able to stay with you. You should stay home; I'll be back soon."
He had already made plans to leave the Yan family with Shi Miao.
I plan to return to Ningcheng for now.
After all, it's the place where he grew up all these years, and he can still take this little cat for a walk in the city and tell her about his past.
Before leaving completely.
Jiang Yingxu planned to personally visit Shancheng, that city with a warm climate, to see the friend he had sent to the best sanatorium...
Shi Miao was a beat slow to realize that this time it wasn't a business trip like usual, but a meeting with someone.
Jiang Yingxu's only friend was He Rongyi.
That year, shortly after the start of the new semester, He Rongyi came to Jiang Yingxu to repay the money, but unexpectedly helped Jiang Yingxu avoid a car accident, suffering serious injuries and becoming paralyzed.
Jiang Yingxu came home very late those few days.
After returning home smelling strongly of disinfectant, I leaned back on the sofa for a long time, gazing blankly at the sky.
He clearly had no expression at all.
However, she appeared to be extremely sad.
The kitten jumped onto the sofa and pressed its warm belly against his cold fingertips, trying to warm him up.
Jiang Yingxu seemed to be awakened by the warmth. He blinked slowly, lowered his long eyelashes, and looked at her.
Suddenly, she said in a low voice, "Perhaps being by my side is misfortune."
The words my uncle and aunt used to say when I was young, "jinx" and "nemesis," seemed to have been vividly proven at that time.
Looking into the kitten's round eyes, he actually felt a little scared.
"Will I find you another home...?"
The cat was already getting impatient even before the last syllable was fully uttered.
She bit his hand with a fierce howl.
Although Jiang Yingxu never said such a thing again after that, because of Mao Chao's fierce attitude.
But this incident also solidified the cat's resolve to accelerate its human form transformation and spend more time with him.
"...Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?"
After dinner, as Jiang Yingxu quickly packed his small suitcase, Shi Miao followed closely behind him, her eyes full of concern.
Cat-themed little tail.
There's a slight stumbling block; you have to be careful not to bump into her.
It's a little better than a kitten.
After all, Jiang Yingxu had only recently gotten a cat when he received a three-day business trip assignment. Packing his suitcase involved five steps:
Unpack the suitcase—take the cat out—put the clothes in—take the cat out—close the suitcase.
Several cycles of holding the cat are omitted in the middle.
Thinking of that scene, Jiang Yingxu smiled slightly, stopped in his tracks, and raised his hand to pat her head.
The cat tilted its head and pressed its cheek against the cat's.
Jiang Yingxu's long fingers paused slightly, then gently fell again, stroking her soft cheek with very light pressure, as if afraid that the calluses on his hands would hurt her.
"I'll be back soon."
He coaxed her gently, not wanting Shi Miao to follow him and receive such negative emotions of helplessness.
"Sugaki's crispy candy is very famous. I'll bring some back for you when I come back."
"All right."
Shi Miao mumbled something and reluctantly accepted the candy offered to appease the cat.
She remembered something and became happy again.
With a sweet and gentle voice, she shared, "By the time you come back, I should be able to fully control my transformations and won't keep turning into a cat or a human from time to time anymore."
"It can also activate a talent ability."
Cat has been watching TV shows about superpowers lately and proudly says, "It would be best if Jiang Yingxu had the ability to tell the truth, so you wouldn't have to keep stubbornly saying no and then have to think about it again."
Can't the cat tell?
This person has wanted to date her for a very, very long time!
Every time the cat came over to kiss him, no matter how many times, he would stiffen his back, and a faint red would quietly spread across his earlobes.
But cats can understand.
Humans would say that things that are too easily obtained are not cherished.
Although cats don't have this kind of personality, it's okay to wait a while and put Jiang Yingxu at ease.
This proves the cat's sincerity!
"..."
Jiang Yingxu, still stubborn, chuckled silently and accepted the accusation.
His dark eyes lingered on her rosy, moist lips for a few seconds, as if recalling the soft touch that had brushed against his own lips.
Actually, the kitten's attitude was clear enough.
Jiang Yingxu wavered slightly, unable to resist hooking her fingers and pressing them into his palm.
"That……"
His heart was pounding, signaling that he was about to make a decision that was the complete opposite of his usual calm.
Even the strongest walls of the heart will melt under the cat king's super loud love.
Those worries and hesitations that one thought were well thought out suddenly seemed so hesitant and indecisive under such intense heat.
Jiang Yingxu said, "Wait for me to come back, and then we'll start dating."
Shi Miao's eyes immediately lit up.
"Okay, okay!"
-
With anticipation, the wait doesn't seem so unbearable.
When Jiang Yingxu wasn't home, Shi Miao would transform into a little kitten, lazily nestled in a bed made of his clothes, and slept soundly for most of the day.
Evenings are the designated time for video calls.
At the end of the video, the kitten solemnly counts down: "Today is the third day of the countdown to starting a relationship."
Under the camera's lens, the man paused slightly, then curled his lips into a faint smile and responded in a low voice.
"Hmm, three days to go."
Then came the second day, and the first day.
The trip to Sugijo was short.
Jiang Yingxu packed his things to return to Beijing. Before boarding the plane, he even took a picture of the local specialties in his suitcase for Shi Miao.
There was brittle, jasmine tea, and even a tiny calico cat kite.
[Jiang Yingxu: I saw this at an old shop on the street. It's raining tonight, but the next two days will be sunny. Shall we go to the park and try it out?]
[Shi Miao: Okay!]
She lay on the sofa, filled with excited anticipation, waiting for Jiang Yingxu to come home.
I don't know when I fell asleep.
When I groggily opened my eyes, the living room was shrouded in darkness. Outside the French windows, raindrops pattered down, striking the glass with a dense, rhythmic thud.
A silvery flash of lightning streaked across the sky, briefly illuminating the dark living room before quickly plunging it back into darkness, creating an inexplicable sense of unease.
The cat stared blankly for a while, its heart beating faster for no reason.
She disregarded the fact that she had completely mastered her shapeshifting ability during her sleep, and subconsciously opened her phone to check the time.
Jiang Yingxu's flight was this afternoon, why hasn't he returned yet?
The screen suddenly lit up, the light was extremely bright.
The cat blinked and saw several unread messages and bright red missed calls on the phone.
The WeChat message was sent an hour ago.
[Jiang Yingxu: I've gotten off the plane and am going home.]
The missed calls were from Zhu Ting; there were five calls in total.
Before I could even react, another call popped up on the screen, also from Zhu Ting.
The rain outside the window was at its heaviest, with dark clouds rolling across the sky and a deep, muffled rumble.
It felt like an explosion right next to my ears.
The shock was so great that the cat almost missed answering the phone.
Zhu Ting's slightly trembling voice came from the phone's speaker.
"Miaomiao, are you home...?"
