Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 103

Lin Xi’s deskmate was the last in rank in Class 9, and he was actually a top student. But it may be that the students at the bottom of the class would make them seem naughty. Next to him, he used Lin Xi’s head to cover himself, then lowered his voice and said, “You like Su Miaomiao11miao, don’t you? Her genuine boyfriend is sitting next to her, how dare you give her candy?”

Lin Xi didn’t look sideways, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Classmate He: “Who’s talking nonsense? I’ve been observing for half a semester. You are simply a professional prying the wall. You only interact with Su Miaomiao11miao when the monitor is away.”

Lin Xi smiled, “We are good friends, it has nothing to do with prying the wall but being courteous.”

It was no wonder that Classmate He believed him.

However, Classmate He understood Lin Xi’s involuntary feelings very well. Su Miaomiao11miao was too good-looking to be described by the simple word “school flower”. Not to mention Class 9, all the boys in the third grade of the school may want to be with Su Miaomiao11miao. If they were far away, they could control their desire, but if they were close to Su Miaomiao11miao like them, how could they control themselves?

Lin Xi was a daring one. He himself looked ruffian, but he was actually very timid.

Classmate He still remembered that once when Su Miaomiao11miao dropped the pen while playing with Gu Jialing, and the pen rolled to him, he quickly picked it up, wiped it carefully before returning it to Su Miaomiao11miao. In the end, it was just such a trivial matter, but Xie Jingyuan actually looked up at him. His eyes were cold and sharp, like an eagle that was patrolling the sky suddenly found that an uninvited guest broke into his territory.

Classmate He was completely overwhelmed by Xie Jingyuan’s gaze.

Was that really the legendary good monitor who was cold on the outside and warm and helpful on the inside?

He believed in his own judgment even more.

From then on, even if Su Miaomiao11miao’s pen rolled under his feet, Classmate He pretended not to know, anyway Lin Xi would help soon.

The college entrance examination was getting closer, and in the rhythm of preparing for the exams against time, the four children had their birthdays again.

Grandma Tao specially set the alarm clock at 5:30 in the morning so that she could get up in time to prepare longevity noodles.

Perhaps because she was happy, Grandma Tao woke up earlier than the alarm clock. She opened the curtains and saw that the sun had already come out, but it was blocked by tall buildings. She could only see the morning glow in the sky.

Grandma Tao went to the kitchen lightly.

Miaomiao11miao liked fish ball noodles, Jia Ling liked braised beef noodles, Xu Shou liked sauce-flavored pork ribs noodles, and her grandson’s tomato and egg noodles were the simplest and could be made last.

The once wobbly child turned into an eighteen-year-old adult in the blink of an eye.

Grandma Tao not only missed the lovely childhood of the children, but also was proud that they all grew up so well.

Humming softly, Grandma Tao moved skillfully and was busy.

When Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei came to help, Grandma Tao’s preparations had already been completed.

The four children also got up one after another.

Su Miaomiao11miao was the last one to get up. When she came to 1002, everyone was bringing out bowls of steaming noodles, making her stomach growl a few times. 

Su Miaomiao11miao walked toward the dining table with a smile.

It took a lot of time to prepare birthday gifts for the four children at one go. After eating, Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei followed the example of Grandma Tao and gave each of the three high school students a red envelope.

Giving red envelopes was the most suitable. Children could use them to buy things they really like or need.

Su Miaomiao11miao was the only girl among the four, and she received special treatment. Grandma Tao continued to give her carefully selected jewelry.

“The four of us have made an agreement. We are too busy preparing for the exams this year, so we won’t give each other gifts. This will save everyone trouble,” Gu Jialing explained to the elders.

Tang Shiwei smiled, “Did you think that the gifts they always prepared were not thoughtful enough, so you offered to cancel it?”

Gu Jialing: “Don’t mention it, Auntie, I may get angry if someone mentions this.”

Su Miaomiao11miao pretended not to understand. Under the table, she quietly rubbed Xie Jingyuan’s calf with her toes, and her eyes were full of hints.

Xie Jingyuan avoided her feet and lowered his head to eat noodles.

After the meal, the elders still had time to chat, and the four high school students put on their bags and set off.

The morning light was bright and gentle, Su Miaomiao11miao ran beside Xie Jingyuan, and asked in a low voice, “Where’s my gift?”

Xie Jingyuan: “I’ll give it to you when we get to the stadium.”

Su Miaomiao11miao understood that the priest was afraid of being discovered by Gu Jialing.

Arriving at No. 1 High School, Gu Jialing and Xu Shou carried their bags to the classroom, while Su Miaomiao11miao and Xie Jingyuan walked to the court with tennis rackets.

At first, Su Miaomiao11miao was interested in both high jump and tennis, so she specially used morning self-study to train high jump and evening self-study to practice tennis. Later, the competitions of those two sports often clashed, and the two coaches always tried to win over Su Miaomiao11miao by taking turns.

Tennis was more tiring, but Su Miaomiao11miao enjoyed the sense of accomplishment of chasing the ball.

Next door to the tennis court was the school gymnasium, and the two of them went inside to change into their sportswear first.

Xie Jingyuan came out of the dressing room first, holding a small white gift box in his hand.

Su Miaomiao11miao walked out of the dressing room and noticed the thing in his hand at a glance.

She ran over happily, her ponytail flicking as she walked.

Xie Jingyuan took the initiative to extend his hand, but she snatched the gift box and opened it impatiently.

Inside the box was a butterfly headband. The headband was white, and the platinum butterfly was studded with diamonds, which was Su Miaomiao11miao’s favorite.

Different from other jewelry that Xie Jingyuan bought before, that headband was customized by him from the brand, and the quantity was ten.

She always wore her hair tied up when she played tennis, and a hair tie was almost a necessity for her, but she had not received that kind of diamond hair tie before.

“So nice.”
