Chapter 206 (1/2)
Collapsing 12 Boundaries 6
What a mess! Xie Xi felt furious when he heard these worlds. So superstitious! This was still a high school student!
Xie Xi didn’t dare to make a sound. Jiang Xie was already isolated and it would be even worse if it was discovered he brought a cat to school.
Fortunately, there were still normal people. The transfer student Kang Hong burst out laughing. “What are you talking about? Isn’t it forbidden to believe in these things since the founding of the People’s Republic of China?”
What ghost eyes? He thought his classmates were joking.
The classmate had a serious expression. “It really is evil. You might not believe it but many people have been affected.”
Kang Hong refuted, “His eye colours are just a bit different. Is this worth making a fuss about?” The boy was quite lively and joked around, “Don’t you think this is cool? The different coloured eyes is a setting in comics!”
This made Xie Xi very happy. Yes, this was a normal high school student. Did they not watch anime? Why were they scared of different coloured eyes?
The classmate was cautious. “There was a new teacher who didn’t believe it previously. Then…”
Kang Hong asked, “What happened afterwards?”
Xie Xi was also very curious. He wanted to hear more but at this time, Jiang Xie turned off the tap, went outside and interrupted their conversation.
The moment he saw Jiang Xie, the classmate’s expression changed, closed his eyes and turned to flee.
Kang Hong, “…”
Xie Xi, “…”
This was too poisonous! Jiang Xie moved away without looking at anyone. Kang Hong called out, “Jiang Xie.”
Jiang Xie stood still.
“Don’t listen to their nonsense.”
Jiang Xie told him, “They aren’t speaking nonsense.”
Kang Hong was stunned.
Jiang Xie didn’t look at him while speaking indifferently, “That new teacher asked me a question in class and was then diagnosed with lung cancer.”
Kang Hong stayed and wondered, “What does that have to do with you? Won’t he still be sick even if he didn’t ask the question?”
Jiang Xie didn’t speak and strode towards the stairwell.
Kang Hong caught up. “It definitely isn’t an illness that can be caught in a day or two. Isn’t it just a coincidence?”
Jiang Xie didn’t explain. He just accelerated his pace and kept a sufficient distance.
Xie Xi was uncomfortable. There were still many people like Kang Hong in this world but Jiang Xie lost the courage to be in contact with people.
No matter what happened before, it was conceivable that there must be many people around him who were unfortunate.
Perhaps it was a coincidence or perhaps there were other factors. It was just that under the fierce rumours, all the blame was pushed on Jiang Xie.
Jiang Xie acquiesced to this exclusion and isolation because he also believed that he was cursed and didn’t want to bring disaster to people.
Xie Xi suddenly understood why he was a cat. If he was a person, he probably wouldn’t be able to get close to Jiang Xie. He couldn’t get close to the Jiang Xie who blocked himself in order to protect others. Xie Xi sighed in the schoolbag, distressed for the young man outside.
The moment Jiang Xie walked out the school gate, he took Xie Xi out because he was afraid of the kitten suffocating.
“Poor thing.” Meow.
Temperature filled Jiang Xie’s cold eyes. “Today was really good. You weren’t discovered by anyone.” The kitten was quiet and sensibly avoided other people.
Xie Xi cried out, “Crap!” How could he be discovered?
Jiang Xie understood his cat language. “Let’s go back and I’ll play with you.”
Xie Xi remembered the colourful and dazzling fairy stick.
Jiang Xie’s bad mood was blown away by the kitten’s soft and ‘coquettish’ nature. No matter what happened outside, he wasn’t alone when he went home.
Jiang Xie felt some expectations and wanted to go back to prepare food for the kitten.
As it happened, he had just entered the community when he saw an acquaintance.
Kang Hong made an unexpected expression. “Jiang Xie, you live here too?”
Jiang Xie was stunned. He didn’t expect to see Kang Hong again. He quickly turned his eyes away with a “Yes.” Then he walked towards his unit door.
Kang Hong chased him. “I’m just in unit six. We moved in the other day. This is your unit?”
Jiang Xie didn’t talk to him.
Kang Hong exclaimed, “We are classmates and live in the same community. Don’t be so indifferent.” Then he touched Little Jiang’s arm.
Jiang Xie’s body stiffened and his footsteps stopped. “Don’t touch me.”
His low voice was filled with deterrence, shocking Kang Hong.
Jiang Xie told him, “All the rumours are true. Stay away from me.”
Kang Hong paused before chasing again. He stood in front of Jiang Xie and declared, “I don’t believe that I can die after you looking at me. My body is healthy…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw the little kitten in Jiang Xie’s arms.
Xie Xi said, “Hello teenager.” Meow meow.
Kang Hong’s eyes flashed with small stars. “So cute!”
Xie Xi, “…” There was the feeling of his state being changed!
Jiang Xie was stunned and his face was as stiff as a board.
The cat slave Kang Hong immediately approached. “Are you raising it? It’s so little, so cute.”
Jiang Xie had no idea what to say.
Kang Hong continued. “My mother is allergic to cat hair and my family can’t raise cats. However, my sister raised two after getting married and I often go to see them…”
They didn’t know Kang Hong was a chatterbox before. Once he started talking about cats, he couldn’t stop.
Jiang Xie held Xie Xi and didn’t go anywhere.
Kang Hong had completely ignored his classmates’ warnings and only wanted to have a good relationship with Jiang Xie thanks to the cat.”What is it called?” He asked for the name of the kitten.
Jiang Xie hadn’t given the kitten a name because he felt he couldn’t raise it.
Kang Hong saw through this. “You haven’t given it a name yet? Then you have to think about it. Wait for me to go back and help you find a name with good luck.”
Xie Xi rolled his eyes. “I thought you weren’t superstitious.”
Kang Hong cried out, “Listen to it! So cute!”
Xie Xi finally understood the mood of pets. Humans didn’t understand them no matter what and it was really frustrating.
