Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 150

Gu Jialing also felt strange. While riding on the road, he said to her, “The Taoist master had helped you wash the dishes these two days, so I thought you two were going to get back together.”

He originally thought that the Taoist master was not biased, but it turned out that he was still biased, so why did he leave Su Miaomiao alone?

The old demons all said that people’s hearts were unpredictable, so how could a hundred-year-old demon like her and Gu Jialing understand the Taoist master’s thoughts?

Su Miaomiao walked to the side of the tennis court and saw Xie Jingyuan still in that studious posture, holding a book in his hand.

Knowing that he would not pay attention to her, Su Miaomiao stopped talking and changed into her sportswear, and walked to her place with a tennis racket.

Xie Jingyuan glanced at her, put down his book, and started to play ball tennis with her.

On the court, Su Miaomiao was never distracted, but that day, she couldn’t help but look at Xie Jingyuan’s face.

The faint morning light came from the east, half of his figure was facing the sun, and the other half was still shrouded in darkness, like every tree she had seen in the mountains and forests.

At that time, Su Miaomiao liked to bask in the sun, especially in the morning sun. She would pick a tree and curl up in a ball until the sun moved away.

With a sound of “bang”, the ball hit the ground and bounced high.

On the opposite side of the court, Xie Jingyuan said indifferently, “Don’t be distracted.”

Su Miaomiao didn’t dare to be distracted anymore, and continued to just stare at the little ball.

No matter how low the temperature got, a person would sweat when they played. Su Miaomiao went to take a shower and change clothes, and her movements were much faster than before. Otherwise, she would be late if she walked to the cafeteria and then to the teaching building.

To her surprise, this time when she came out after changing her clothes, she found that Xie Jingyuan was still waiting outside.

Seeing her, Xie Jingyuan explained, “I haven’t eaten yet, let’s go together.”

The sun was much brighter than half an hour ago, and it made her smile even brighter.

He stepped onto the bicycle first, and then Su Miaomiao jumped up skillfully, but just as her hand touched his waist, Xie Jingyuan suddenly turned around.

He didn’t say anything, but Su Miaomiao understood what he meant, and retracted her hand embarrassingly.

He had breakfast with her, and then sent her downstairs to the teaching building.

“Thank you, Taoist Master,” Su Miaomiao glanced at him when she took her bag and said politely.

In the past, the Taoist master took care of her every day, and she was used to it, so she never thought of thanking him.

It was different then, the Taoist master said he would ignore her, but helped out occasionally, of course Su Miaomiao must be polite.

That was what the Taoist master emphasized countless times when she was a child, so she remembered to thank her classmates for helping her.

Su Miaomiao also climbed the stairs and walked to her classroom.

In the mornings of the next three days, Xie Jingyuan did not accompany Su Miaomiao to the cafeteria, nor did he appear in the afternoon or evening.

From being unaccustomed to Su Miaomiao at the beginning, it had also become a habit.

On Friday morning, Su Miaomiao only had the first and second classes, which were two professional classes, and the students listened very carefully.

In the middle of the second class, some raindrops hit the glass windows.

Su Miaomiao was distracted by the sound, turned her head, and saw more fine and dense raindrops falling, and the rain in the distance also became heavier.

“Hey, I didn’t bring an umbrella!”

“I brought one. I checked the weather forecast in the morning and it said that it’s going to rain today.”

From Dormitory 403, Zhao Lu didn’t bring an umbrella, but Chen Ling and Zhu Xingzhu did.

“Let’s share,” Chen Ling said with a smile.

Zhao Lu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to listen.

Su Miaomiao was still looking out the window.

She liked sunny days, but she hated rain the most. She hated getting wet and getting mud on her beautiful shoes.

When it rained for the first time when she was still in kindergarten, she didn’t even have to walk the distance from the classroom to the school gate by herself.

The Taoist master would carry her on his back.

From kindergarten to high school, the Taoist master never did let her shoes get wet even once.

When class was over, because the remaining two classes were empty, Zhao Lu and the others had to go back to the dormitory, so they called Su Miaomiao to go with them.

Su Miaomiao shook her head, “You go first, I’m waiting for the Taoist master to pick me up.”

Zhao Lu and the others thought that Xie Jingyuan had contacted Su Miaomiao first, and that the couple who had been in a cold war for almost two weeks was finally reconciled.

“I’ll ask you the details later!”

The three girls walked out of the classroom smiling.

Su Miaomiao then took out her phone and sent a message to Xie Jingyuan: It’s raining. Taoist Master, come here to pick me up.

Xie Jingyuan was standing on the back side of the teaching building where Su Miaomiao was, standing in a corner that could not be seen by the college students who kept walking out of the building.

He also had class, but he left the classroom three minutes early and ran there with an umbrella.

It was raining heavily, and it was inconvenient to ride a bicycle, and there was no need to ride a bicycle, because it would be useless there.

She hated rain the most, she could do other things by herself, but that was definitely not the case.

If she didn’t take the initiative to contact him even when it was raining, then in her heart, he wouldn’t even be a “Taoist master”.

The phone was always held in his hand. In vibration mode, when the message arrived, the screen lit up first.

Xie Jingyuan paused, and then replied: I’m busy.

He wondered if she would be as clingy as before, or if she would be as polite to him as she was that morning.

Upstairs, in the classroom.

Seeing Xie Jingyuan’s reply, Su Miaomiao pouted, and was about to ask him what he was up to. But at the door of the classroom, a boy who had already sneaked a few glances at Su Miaomiao finally plucked up his courage and asked, “Su Miaomiao, don’t you have an umbrella?”
