"IF Childhood Sweethearts" - you are all incredibly cute.
From a young age, Shi Miao was repeatedly warned by Shi Dai not to let any human know that they were cat demons.
I nod, I promise, I will do it.
But some unexpected things did happen these past two days.
Shi Miao could no longer maintain a stable transformation—
Shi Dai said this was because she was about to fully master the ability, and her body was making final adjustments.
Its ears and tail pop out from time to time.
Shi Miao could only stay at home and could not go out.
Just then, Shi Dai received an important job offer that required her to travel.
In the past, this kitten could have barely endured it, comforting itself by sunbathing and playing with toys, and it could have gotten through the boring few days.
But I've been having so much fun lately.
Keeping cats indoors is enough to make them depressed.
Anyway, it's Jiang Yingxu I'm talking to, not just anyone else, so I might as well tell him.
Shi Miao sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs leisurely, with a lollipop that Jiang Yingxu had peeled for her in her mouth, and mumbled, "...Anyway, that's how it is. I can't go out with you, and I can't come to see you tonight."
"I'm afraid you'll secretly shed tears."
"Just letting you know."
Jiang Yingxu had been listening attentively, but upon hearing this, his ears immediately turned red.
"I didn't shed a tear!"
The child was trying to maintain his precarious facade.
Shi Miao smiled and brought her face close to his tense little face, her round cat-like eyes blinking as if she wanted to observe him carefully.
“But your eyes were really red last time, you looked so pitiful.”
Shi Miao helps explain the physical characteristics of the kitten that doesn't understand the language.
"I was so tired that night that I fell asleep as soon as my mom carried me back to bed. I forgot to come see you and made you wait for so long. I'm so sorry."
The child squatted by the glass door, staring longingly for a long time, but still couldn't see the kitten that would visit regularly.
Back in bed, I tossed and turned, worried that something had happened to her, or that she no longer liked me. I couldn't sleep well all night, my mind racing with these thoughts.
The next day when she met Shi Miao, her big, dark eyes were a little red, and with her aggrieved expression after being stood up, she really looked like she was about to cry.
Jiang Yingxu stubbornly insisted: "I really didn't cry, I would never cry over this."
His ears turned red with embarrassment, and he didn't want to meet Shi Miao's bright eyes. Instead, his gaze fell on the pair of furry ears on the top of her head.
He had touched the kitten's ears; they were thin and pointed, warm to the touch, and you could see the fine blood vessels in the pale pink earlobe against the light.
Such a tiny pair.
Now it's grown a size bigger, standing proudly on Shi Miao's head like a toy headband.
But how can a toy compare to its warmth and flexibility?
Jiang Yingxu moved his fingers, and after glancing at those ears out of the corner of his eye countless times, he still couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"May I... touch your ear?"
Shi Miao was still holding a building block in her hand. She tilted her head and looked at Jiang Yingxu, then suddenly curled her lips. "You've been secretly watching me for so long just to ask this?"
I put the Lego bricks together wrong twice.
This is a mistake that Jiang Yingxu would never have made in the past.
Shi Miao sat on the foam mat floor, tilting her head casually.
"Sure, go ahead and touch it."
Mom also likes to pinch her ears.
Shi Miao is used to it!
Jiang Yingxu sat upright, carefully reaching out his hand, his fingertips touching her with the lightest of touches, as if afraid of making her uncomfortable.
It's just as soft and warm.
It was still twitching and fluttering nimbly, the short, clever hairs on the tips of its ears brushing against Jiang Yingxu's palm, bringing a slight tickle.
Jiang Yingxu only touched it twice with restraint, then curled his fingers and pressed them into his palm.
His eyes were full of sincere praise.
"Miaomiao, your ears are especially cute."
Shi Miao shook her little head smugly, then asked fiercely, "Is only the ear cute?"
Jiang Yingxu quickly replied, "All of them."
"You are adorable in every way."
His face flushed slightly, and he swallowed a sentence he only dared to say in his heart.
They are incredibly cute.
He liked it very much too.
Children are young and don't yet have a clear understanding of the world, so they naturally accept that their playmate is a kitten in disguise.
Before leaving, he repeatedly assured her that he would keep quiet.
When Shi Dai returned home and learned about this, she was speechless.
Enraged, she grabbed her daughter's cheek.
"You brat, who gave you the nerve?!"
Shi Miao was pinched so hard she swayed from side to side, pouting and whimpering in pain.
After being rescued from her mother's clutches, she scurried onto the furthest point of the sofa and covered her flushed face.
With a hint of guilt and more of a sense of self-righteousness, he muttered under his breath.
"Tell him it's okay."
"Otherwise, how am I supposed to explain to him why I haven't seen him for the past few days?"
childish.
Shi Dai felt guilty towards Shi Miao. After all, in order to earn enough money for the two of them to live a good life, she had indeed been running around most of the time and hadn't had much time to spend with Shi Miao.
Shi Miao has a spoiled and picky personality. In the places she lived before, she would either complain that the child was unhygienic or that the child was too childish and noisy.
After moving to the capital, Shi Dai discovered that Shi Miao and Jiang Yingxu, who lived next door, had become good friends and could hang out together every day. Shi Dai was initially relieved and felt quite at ease.
But just because you get along well with someone doesn't mean you can reveal such an important secret.
Shi Dai frowned and thought for a while. Seeing Shi Miao peeking at her expression, she deliberately put on a cold face and asked, "Did you tell me my identity?"
Shi Miao immediately shook her head.
"I didn't say that! Jiang Yingxu didn't ask either!"
Her eyelashes fluttered as she tried to act innocent.
Shi Dai merely gave a cold laugh.
"With his clever mind, he probably guessed it too."
Before Shi Miao could react, Shi Dai had already strode forward and swiftly picked up the troublesome kitten.
"Let's go, we have to find him."
then.
After Jiang Yingxu finished washing his face, he first saw the kitten sitting obediently at the foot of the bed.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Meow Meow, didn't you say you weren't coming anytime soon?"
I looked up.
He spotted a long-haired tortoiseshell cat perched on a cabinet by the door, looking down at him.
Jiang Yingxu was stunned.
Jiang Yingxu hesitated for a moment.
Jiang Yingxu whispered, "Auntie?"
Shi Miao: "?"
Shi Dai: "Heh."

"Meow Meow Diary"
My mother asked me why I was so comfortable telling Jiang Yingxu that secret.
I told him he wouldn't tell.
My mom poked my head and said I was silly.
snort.
Mom doesn't understand.
Only I know that Jiang Yingxu is the best Jiang Yingxu in the world.
