Chapter 5: 03 I want to be friends with you, recommended to add more updates

  The opening ceremony was still in progress, and everyone had quieted down to listen to the boy speaking on stage. They didn't know about his excellence, but his appearance, as well as the cold aura emanating from within him, made people hesitant to make any rash movements under his gaze.

  At this moment, the large gate of the auditorium was suddenly pushed open with a heavy creak.

  Everyone turned around and saw a short-haired girl slipping in sideways with the influx of light, walking into the crowd as if nothing had happened, looking for an empty seat.

  In the crowded hall, a long-haired girl also turned her head back, her eyes were very bright, like the soft moonlight in the dark night, emitting a unique and sole light.

  The late-arriving girl was Catnip, who sauntered up to the girl with a nonchalant air and gave her a faint glance, perhaps because the girl's eyes were too bright, drawing her in unintentionally.

  In memory, the little girl who gave her a one-yuan coin also had a pair of eyes as clear as this.

  "Hey, sit next to me!" The girl suddenly spoke up with a smile, her voice crisp and clear. "My name is Jing, what's yours?"

  The cat sat down beside her, murmured a low "hmm", and gazed at the floor in deep thought.

  "Hmm... what does it mean?" The pure girl beside her didn't notice the cat's distraction at all, she simply tilted her head, and after a moment, suddenly smiled lightly with narrowed eyes.

  "Your meaning is, can we be friends? Although I don't know what your name is, but I really want to be with you..."

  "What?" The cat turned back with some annoyance, never liking girls like this, similar to Nai Jiu, similar to Xi Yin, but why did she always keep running into them.

  "Oh, you're not listening to me again." The girl looked a bit downcast and lowered her head, took a deep breath, then lifted it up. "But that's okay, my name is Jing, I'd love to be friends with you. What should I call you?"

  "Cat's paw."

  "I think I've seen this name somewhere! Are you living in dorm 501? Haha, I sleep next to your bed!" Jing looked very happy, holding both hands and saying a lot.

  The cat couldn't help but close its eyes, as if it was about to fall asleep.

  She didn't notice that the boy on the podium had been following her with his eyes since she walked in, and when he saw her gaze fall on him, a slight arc rose at the corner of his mouth.

  But soon, the cat fell asleep with its eyes closed.

  The smile on the boy's face immediately disappeared, replaced by dissatisfaction that permeated his entire body.

  Unexpectedly didn't recognize me.

  Have you completely forgotten about me?

  He furrowed his brow and continued reading from the script in a moderate tone.

  The cat indeed noticed him, not because of his outstanding appearance, but because he felt very familiar, especially those eyes, which were almost identical to Liang Chen's.

  But... Liang Chen was only thirteen years old, and he couldn't speak.

  It must be mistaken identity.

  She narrowed her eyes and fell asleep unknowingly.

  When I woke up, the meeting had already dispersed, and the crowd surged towards the same exit like a swarm of ants. In the transparent light, turbid dust floated.

  It was Jing who woke her up.

  The cat opened its eyes and saw her sitting beside it, smiling with curved eyes.

  "Kitty, let's go have lunch together. We don't have any classes this afternoon, we can also go shopping."

  "No need." The cat wrinkled its brow, "I don't like being with girls."

  "Really." Jing's expression suddenly became somewhat surprised, and then exaggeratedly said, "Are you kidding me! Cat Niu actually has a boyfriend now?!" Cat Niu secretly rolled her eyes, oh my god, it was simply impossible to communicate with such a girl.

  She completely can't understand her thinking ability.

  "Don't talk nonsense." The cat said helplessly, waving its hand, "Forget it. I'm leaving." With that, it followed the crowd and walked towards the exit.

  A girl standing beside her seat, with long and soft hair, wearing a white cotton skirt. At first glance, she looks like a well-behaved and clean girl.

  She gazed at the cat's departing back, her eyes full of admiration.

  Měi nì, looks really cool! Jing, you must work hard because you like her, so you must become friends with her!

  She clenched her fists and a smile spread across her face.

  The young man standing on the podium was now sitting under the shade of a tree, not in the mood to care about others' gossip. His eyes pierced through the crowd and spotted the cat coming out. Just as he thought of stepping forward, he was suddenly called back by the principal.

  "Good student Liang Chen. Come with me to the office downstairs." The principal appeared behind him at some unknown time, a warm smile mixed with a hint of awkwardness.

  Li Chen suddenly seemed to understand something, his dark eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and he silently followed the principal to the office.

  The September sunshine is shaded by the cloud layer, reducing a bit of heat, and the wind is filled with a faint cherry blossom fragrance that seeps into everyone's breath.

  Innumerable shadows overlap on the road, forming a heavy and dense black ink under the sunlight.
