Chapter 5: Next Stop, Ming Ze City

  A moment's pause at the crossroads, one person, instantly submerged in the crowd. A desolate crossroads, one person, a glance and walked into the whirlpool of memories. In the dark times, how I wish to raise my head and see you again, still shining for me.

  Four years later. Huaduo.

  Time always passes like this, before we can fully grasp it, countless seasons have already changed.

  It's summer now, Catnip is 16 years old, she wears a blue and white striped shirt, sits by the window, short hair falls to her cheeks, arms propped under her chin.

  She always likes to gaze at the big white cotton clouds outside.

  This clean white is just like the goose feather snow of that winter.

  Four years have passed, and the scene of Hei Feng Xi tightly embracing in the heavy snow seems to be getting farther and farther away from me.

  But she knew that warmth would never leave, it had melted into her blood, flowing slowly through every part of her body, and finally gathering together to protect her own heart.

  "What's on your mind." Huai Chi painted the last stroke, she didn't respond even after being called several times, so he picked up his brush and walked towards her, lightly sweeping it across her pale face.

  Then sat on the windowsill, narrowed his eyes and smiled.

  A light green pigment was applied to her face, adding a touch of freshness and reducing a hint of coquetry.

  The cat, usually so arrogant, hung its head in silence this time.

  After a moment, she lifted her head and gazed deeply at him: "I'm telling you."

  Wei Chi raised an eyebrow and nodded for her to continue.

  "It's nothing." The cat waved its hand and averted its gaze unnaturally. "It's just that Meitoku High School feels a bit far away."

  I didn't expect to actually get into the best high school in Western Jin, it's unbelievable. In fact, she didn't want to go at all, just wanted to stay safely and stably in Huadugu, why bother going so far?

  But now it seems there's no other way.

  "Catkins won't be reluctant, will they?" Wei Chi hooked up the corner of his mouth and leaned in close to her, "Definitely."

  He wore a white cotton undershirt, emitting the faint lemon scent of laundry detergent that filled his nostrils with each breath.

  The cat's eyes suddenly felt the temperature soaring, and its heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. It tensely averted its gaze: "I didn't"

  Wei Chi blinked and said suspiciously: "Huh? Really nothing?"

  He pulled himself back, rubbed his hair in distress, and sighed: "It turns out I was overthinking. I was planning to move with you to Mingze City anyway, but it seems there's no need for that now."

  The cat heard this and was instantly heartbroken.

  He couldn't bring himself to swallow his pride and change his words... All he could do was press his lips together and glare at him with a sulky face.

  "Never mind, I won't tease you anymore." Wei Chi reached out to mess up her hair, restoring his smiling expression. "Still having the personality of a kitten or a child, it's really great."

  "I'm already sixteen years old, I'm not a little kid anymore." Miao Ni looked at him seriously with her brown eyes, emphasizing her age.

  Wei Chi touched his hair helplessly and looked at her: "Cat classmate, you've already said this sentence for the third time today..."

  "Really? Hmm...". The cat lowered its head and quietly walked away.

  Looking at her silly thinking appearance, I couldn't help but think of the days when I helped her with her homework. It seemed like it had been a long time ago, just like how summer arrives and spring seems to have gone away for a long time, hard to reach.

  Have to say, time flies quickly, in the blink of an eye, that willful and stubborn little girl has grown up, and I myself have also turned nineteen.

  "Alright!" Yu Wei lightly jumped down from the window, snapped her fingers and gave her a big smile.

  "Meow! Give it your all!"

  "We're going to pick up our stuff and then head to Mingze City!"

  The cat wanted to cooperate with him, jumping up and shouting something like "Oh, it's great!" But in the end, she just pursed her lips and quietly stored away her inner joy.

  Wei Chi, you're still a big fool after all. But... I just like you this way.

  Just like warm sunshine on a winter's day... You are warmth.
