Just as Chen Shi was about to teach Qi Xiao a lesson, Jiang Qing, who had noticed him, stopped him with just a look.
Shen Shi, who was happy to be henpecked, enjoyed being controlled by Jiang Qing. It was alright for the young couple to have disagreements and arguments, but what they feared most was silence. At this moment, for Shen Shi, even a glance from Jiang Qing was a blessing.
He humbly prayed to God for grace and begged Jiang Qing for forgiveness, like a believer who had done something wrong.
Their eager eyes were fixed on each other, their lips were pursed, and their clenched fists betrayed their tense and anxious state of mind.
Being stared at so intensely, even the most emotionally insensitive person would react, but Jiang Qing seemed completely oblivious. Seeing that Chen Shi had given up the idea of attacking her, she turned her head away without giving him a single glance.
Shen Shi's mood instantly plummeted, as if a thick, impenetrable dark cloud had descended upon him.
In the past, a mere frown from Shen Shi could cause Jiang Qing unbearable heartache, but now everything has changed. When Shen Shi looked up, all he could see was Jiang Qing's receding figure.
Her emerald green skirt folded like flowers as Jiang Qing walked briskly, her heart clenching with pain, yet she maintained her proud posture, like an elegant white swan.
Since such a miserable ending is inevitable, let's make the exit a little more dignified. Jiang Qing thought to herself, her eyes welling up with tears that she had been holding back for so long, and they poured out in an instant.
Jiang Qing! Jiang Qing! You're supposed to be a modern woman, so what if you broke up? It's no big deal. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. And here you are, pitifully shedding tears. It's truly shameful.
She wiped away her tears while complaining about her own shortcomings. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Just then, a stray cat appeared out of nowhere and pounced at her feet.
Jiang Qing was stunned when she saw the tabby cat that had fallen from the sky. She even forgot to cry. So the two of them began a silent drama of staring at each other with wide eyes.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, perhaps cats can read faces, this little tabby cat started pawing at Jiang Qing's shoes and meowing.
It rained yesterday evening, and the kitten was soaking wet. It was even smaller than her shoes, and its meows were weak and feeble. It was clear that it was starving.
Jiang Qing hurriedly opened her handbag and, after searching for a while, finally found a nut bar. The reason she kept this in her bag was because Chen Shi loved to eat it.
Even though I've already decided to give up, even though I've been hurt beyond repair, seeing familiar objects still brings my thoughts back to the past.
Looking at the kitten that only knew how to eat, Jiang Qing even felt a little envious. If only she could be so carefree, her eyes sparkling with happiness at just a nut bar!
The nut bar was devoured by the kitten in less than two minutes, but the little thing was clearly not satisfied and kept meowing at Jiang Qing.
Unexpectedly, this tiny creature, no bigger than the palm of her hand, was a big eater. Jiang Qing had no choice but to rummage through her handbag again, but to her great disappointment, all she could find inside were cushion foundations and lipsticks; she couldn't find a single thing that she could eat.
"That's all~" Jiang Qing helplessly spread her hands, her tone unconsciously softening, making it easy for her to negotiate, as if the kitten could really understand what she was saying.
But she clearly didn't expect that she had encountered an unreasonable cat, which kept meowing.
"Pretty sister is too stingy. Come here, brother. I'll give you some delicious toast." Just when Jiang Qing was at her wit's end, a voice that was all too familiar came from behind her.
Without turning around, Jiang Qing was certain that the person who came was Shen Shi.
As the saying goes, "whoever feeds you is your mother," and cats don't understand human thoughts. As soon as they smell the aroma of toast, they dart to Chen Shi's feet.
Their movements were so fast that only afterimages could be seen, prompting Jiang Qing to curse inwardly, "You heartless little devil!"
While feeding the cat, he spoke loudly, clearly having ulterior motives.
Jiang Qing immediately sensed his intention. In order not to let Chen Shi get smug and pass the time by playing Candy Crush, she did not turn around to look at him.
After spending more than half a year together, Jiang Qing knew Shen Shi's personality very well. He was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. Even if he was really wrong, he would stubbornly refuse to admit it. Asking him to lower himself and coax someone would be harder than climbing to heaven.
So Jiang Qing did not choose to leave, but waited patiently until Chen Shi's patience was worn down and until he angrily left.
All the words that Chen Shi uttered were ignored by Jiang Qing and remained unspoken.
I thought he wouldn't last long, but even when Jiang Qing's legs were numb from standing, and the tabby cat had eaten until its belly was round, it was still chattering away.
As Jiang Qing listened, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. What was the point of saying all this now?
Judging from the current situation, it seems that she is the one who betrayed the relationship, while Shen Shi is the infatuated lover who wants to win back love. But is that really the case?
Jiang Qing suddenly turned her head, the question about to spill out, but saw a bright and handsome young man in the sunlight under the shade of the tree, smiling as he held up a fluffy tabby cat and said gently to her, "Do you remember when we first met, you said you wanted to have a cat? I think this one is just right."
Suddenly, it seemed as if we were still the same as before.
In fact, only a few months have passed since they first met, but in those few short months, everything has changed beyond recognition.
Getting close to you means getting close to pain, and leaving you means leaving happiness behind. Only now did Jiang Qing understand the meaning of this sentence.
"You're talking about Jiang Qing from six months ago. I don't want to keep a kitten anymore. It's just a meowing thing all day long, and it sheds fur everywhere. Who would like it?" Jiang Qing said, forcing back her heartache.
The reason she doesn't keep pets is that her parents are meticulous people. Not to mention keeping pets at home, even if they occasionally crave food bought from outside, it will be defined as junk food and will eventually end up in the trash.
Before Chen Shi could say anything, the little tabby cat became unhappy, meowing loudly and pacing back and forth on its four short legs, trying its best to express its dissatisfaction.
Shen Shi met Jiang Qing's stubborn gaze, but just as she understood him, Jiang Qing's thoughts could not be hidden from Shen Shi's eyes.
Her fierce expression, when she landed, made her look like a kitten pretending to be a tiger, trying to scare away the enemy with her menacing look. But it backfired, and the other person was moved to tears by her cuteness.
