……

At noon one day during the military training of the first year of high school, several girls gathered at the door of the cafeteria with sad faces.

"It's so annoying...... Why did the cafeteria have an accident at this time?"

"I've been standing in a military posture all morning! I'm so tired, I want to eat the second layer of braised noodles!"

"I want to eat rice with shredded pork with green peppers......

"Green Pepper Shredded Pork Rice Bowl +1 ......"

At this time, the girl in charge of exploring the path came back and shook her head sadly: "Today there is only 'Strange Rice'."

"Ah......h

The girls wailed in unison.

Strange rice is a dish that gathers the dark power of the whole canteen, the staple food is white rice, the side dish is potato stew, and the core is an ancient evil thing made of green peppers, sweet potatoes, radish, fatty pork, and tomatoes, which is called strange and strange dishes.

Ahem, I can't go to the cafeteria today anyway.

"Shall we go back to the dormitory for instant noodles?" That new flavor of Takato ramen is delicious!"

"Yay!!"

A few of the girls immediately raised their arms and cheered like an Irish drinking joke.

That's right, since the cafeteria is blown up, wouldn't it be justifiable to have dinner in the dormitory?

At this time, someone raised his hand: "Do you want to call Xu Jing along?"

Immediately, a girl made a straight face: "What are you calling her for? Let's just eat it ourselves."

"But, after all, it's a dormitory, so it's not good for us to ignore her, okay?"

"It's not that we ignore her, it's that she ignores us first! Except for a meal together at the beginning of school, she usually avoids us! Which roommate is like that?"

"Hmm...... What could be unspeakable?"

"It's none of our business anyway. Let's go, go buy something delicious!"

"Oh, good!"

The roommates are gone.

Xu Jing, who was hiding behind the cafeteria, slowly poked her head out and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw their backs disappear completely from view.

The melancholy and tension in his eyes slowly turned into loss.

Forget it, everyone should hate themselves......

The green waves in the afternoon are lively and quiet.

The girl was alone with a canvas bag and nervously walking in the grove.

Even if there was no one here, she unconsciously tiptoed, looking left and right a little nervously, like an elf who had set foot in a secret realm.

Xu Jing had known about this forest for a long time, but today was the first time she came.

I usually go back to the dormitory at noon, but I still don't go back today, otherwise it will disturb everyone......

The girl walked absentmindedly until her eyes suddenly became clear.

The crown-like trees stretch out a huge shade. There are also a few long stone benches scattered under the tree, which looks particularly fairy.

Is there such a place in the school?

Xu Jing observed the surroundings.

No one, alas.

She shook her fists, a little happy. Then this is her secret!

The girl jumped up and down to the stone bench. Because no one sees it now, she doesn't have to worry about being laughed at by everyone when she lets go.

The bench was a little gray, but not dirty. Xu Jing wiped it briefly, and then sat down to enjoy lunch.

She only wanted rice and potatoes to stew potatoes, because the strange dish cost another four yuan. Fortunately, her mother stuffed her with two sausages before she returned to school, just in time for today's emergency.

Although I was depressed all morning, I was not depressed when I had food.

The girl opened the lunch box, set it aside, and prepared to peel the sausage......

"Meow whoa."

Until a cat's meow suddenly came from under the stone bench.

Xu Jing was startled for a moment, bounced up like a big mouse, and her body shrank into a ball nervously.

The black and white kitten jumped onto the stone bench, raised his hands, and turned into a cat group.

"Meow, whoa, whoa."

The kitten craned its neck with great momentum and announced to the human cubs, who were neither big nor small

Oath***.

Xu Jing blinked, as if she understood what it meant......

Then he sat down at the other end of the stone bench.

"Meow meow."

The kitten walked over with cat steps, and saw that the human cub didn't know each other very well this time, so he pulled it with his paws.

Xu Jing didn't show a scared expression, but just listened to the kitten's arrangement and stood up again......

Then he sat back down.

"......" The kitten was also tired, so she simply put it on the table and went to sleep. It's not that it wants to share territory with others, it's just that this human cub is too naïve.

Suddenly, a finger poked its ass.

"May I eat here?"

Xu Jing asked the cat for instructions with a serious expression, and moved her buttocks closer by the way.

"......" The kitten gave her a blank look and moved to the side.

"Can't you?" Xu Jing moved her ass closer again.

The kitten ignored her and continued to move away, but there was no place for it, and she fluttered and fell to the ground.

Xu Jing was taken aback: "Yes, I'm sorry! Are you alright?"

"Meow whoa."

The cat dodged her lightly and jumped to the other end of the stone bench.

How could a noble kitten fall? And not stupid human cubs.

So Xu Jing moved her ass and sat next to the kitten.

The cat glared at her a little angrily. However, the feline family has a high tolerance for cubs, and it is only a warning in the eyes, and she is not given a cat punch.

Xu Jing handed her one of her only two ham sausages.

"Kitten, can I please you eat ham sausage?"

Xu Jing asked in a low voice, the fragments of sunlight refracted in her eyes, which looked smart and shiny.

The kitten sniffed with its fleshy nose, but did not eat, just stared at the human cub in front of it.

"Hmm! It's delicious!"

Xu Jing saw that she didn't eat, so she took a big bite herself, and moved her mouth like a hamster.

"Meow~"

The kitten was finally willing to eat. The girl smiled with a sense of accomplishment and gently touched her head.

She didn't resist, alas, that is allowed~

"My name is Xu Jing, what's your name?"

"Meow."

"Then I'll call you Madame Weaver from now on! The cat in my first book was called Lady Weaver!"

"Meow whoa."

"Madame Weaver, can we be friends? I'd like to take a lunch break with you in the future!"

"Meow~"

The girl stood quietly in the silent forest.

The rain was still falling, but the tears had dried up.

In the sound of the grave-like rain, Xu Jing carefully dug a small pit with her hands, buried those hairs in it, and buried them solemnly.

The loess has long since turned into wet mud. The girl's palms were also covered with dirt and dirty.

Alas? Isn't it raining?

Xu Jing realized that she hadn't been wet much, and raised her head in a daze-

Overhead hangs a dark blue umbrella. It's as cold as a rainy day, but it gives people a sense of security, like a barrier.

Looking over the umbrella, the upper body of the young man holding the umbrella was completely wet, but he still stood silently like a knight.

Jiang Lan's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to comfort her......

Before he could speak, the girl stepped forward and grabbed him, resting her head on his shoulder.

Jiang Lan was stupid.

What is this unfolding? Am I really being hugged again like Bai Gi?

There was a twitching sensation in his arms. Tears welled up in my eyes and ran down the hem of my soaked clothes. Her two little hands were also very dishonest, and she hugged him tightly, as if Jiang Lan belonged to her.

Jiang Lan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Her dirty hands, dirty school uniform, and dirty face flashed in front of her eyes.

She was like an abandoned little stray cat, clinging to her only companion in the rain like a fool.

Never mind.

Jiang Lan didn't move in the end, but just stabilized the umbrella in his hand and covered both of them under the umbrella.

Let her hug it.

Just this once...... Just this once.
