Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 155 Photographer

"Brother Wu, where did you buy these cigarettes? No wonder the teacher didn't notice them!"

"Hehe... How could I possibly tell you? Want it? Buy it from me."

Two boys, one tall and one short, were sneaking around behind the sports storage room, slacking off. The shorter one hid behind a tree in the bushes, pulled out a miniature e-cigarette from his pocket, and started puffing away.

Judging by his muscular physique and practiced smoking technique, who would guess that this person is actually just a junior high school student?

It was only the nervous tone in the tall boy's voice and his fair complexion that revealed his innocent and naive nature, a quality typical of someone from an ivory tower.

Children always envy adults, and he was also tempted by the other person's cool smoking gesture.

Lin Ge squinted as he watched the short boy pull something from his pocket—something only the length of a pen cap and shaped much like a ballpoint pen cap. He unscrewed it from the middle, inserted a button-like object, and then closed it again.

"Come on, try it?"

"Hehe... Thank you, Brother Wu..."

The tall boy eagerly took it, touching and wiping it, feeling both timid and eager to try.

"Ouch!"

With a playful attitude, Lin Ge suddenly shouted.

The strange and piercing sound startled the two children. The taller boy instinctively threw the e-cigarette into his friend's hand and ran outside with his head down.

"Nima!"

The short man hurriedly caught the smoking paraphernalia, looked around but saw no one, and turned pale with fright. The rustling sounds in the bushes made him dare not linger any longer, and he ran out with his head down like a guilty thief.

"quack!"

Lin Ge poked his head out of the bushes, watched the two fleeing figures, and chuckled strangely.

He felt he had done a good deed, preventing a good student from being tempted into depravity and also reducing the number of smokers in the future.

Moreover, this is much more interesting than being surrounded and pointed at. Seeing these kids running around in a panic, I feel like this is what youthful energy is all about.

But this e-cigarette...

Lin Ge had a bad feeling.

I took another sniff, and thankfully I didn't find any unusual smell.

……

The opening performance before the sports meet was quite lively. Surprisingly, the school leaders tacitly supported the students' various reckless and outrageous performances and did not issue any unpleasant orders.

So, in addition to otaku dance and cosplay fashion shows, other classes put on ancient costume shows, dance competitions, and so on, which broadened Lin Ge's horizons and made the scene even more lively.

For Ringo, while the activity was indeed quite fun and the children were full of happiness and energy, it wasn't very cat-friendly.

The somewhat chaotic environment, along with the loud music and shouts from the loudspeakers, was rather jarring to the cat's ears, forcing Lin Ge to awkwardly move away.

He barely managed to enjoy Lin Jia's class's home dance performance, and watched with amusement as Zhang Yining and Hu Miao, two short girls, mingled with the middle school students and did a little catwalk. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and found a quiet spot to doze off.

I don't know how much time passed, but the sports meet officially began.

Lin Jia's 400-meter run and long jump were in the afternoon, so the children didn't have any other activities in the morning. Lin Ge slowly walked out and began looking around for the two little girls who had disappeared.

Their clothes made it inconvenient for them to linger outside.

"So fun!"

"I had so much fun today!"

Zhang Yining and Hu Miao were playing excitedly, their little faces flushed.

They had just parted ways with their senior classmates and were watching with some envy as their older classmates huddled together taking photos and chatting.

Cosplay photos are fun, but unfortunately the two of them didn't know the photography club members who were holding cameras.

So the two girls sighed with slight regret, looked around for Lin Ge, and prepared to go home.

"Teacher! Teacher! Can you wait a moment?"

A young man with a camera hanging around his neck suddenly stopped the two girls.

He called me teacher!

"whee……"

The two girls exchanged a glance, their excitement rising again. Zhang Yining coughed and politely said to the boy, "Is there anything I can help you with? We were invited by our senior to come and have some fun, and we're about to head back."

"The teachers' cosplay is so beautiful, I want to take a picture of you."

The boy gestured to the camera in his hand and said sincerely, "My name is Tao Junfeng. I'm somewhat well-known in the cosplay community, and many people follow my work. If you two don't mind showing your faces, I'd like to take some photos of you and post them on the platform so that more people can see your exquisite costumes. Maybe you can even use this opportunity to become big stars, like those famous cosplayers online, and participate in various events all over the world..."

"Really?" Hu Miao's eyes lit up; she loved being praised and complimented.

Zhang Yining quickly tugged at her, looking warily at the stranger who had suddenly appeared and was trying to entice them.

Tao Junfeng wasn't angry. He patiently explained, "Don't worry, I'm not a liar! I was invited by the school to cheer on and promote the fashion show. The senior you mentioned earlier, is that teacher on CN called Asheng? I know her. And you two teachers, look over there. I have professional lighting and blankets, and I can also design a few movements for you. So, could you give me a few minutes?"

Hu Miao looked in the direction the boy was pointing. Right at the edge of the basketball court, there were indeed several large cameras set up in a proper manner, and a small, fluffy blanket on the ground. People were watching and talking nearby, laughing and pointing.

To be able to display something like this on campus, it must have been done with permission, right?
The two little girls exchanged a glance.

Ultimately, the vanity of being praised and photographed overshadowed their wariness. After all, they were just elementary school students; the two children whispered among themselves for a moment, then timidly agreed to the photographer's request.

Of course, there's another point: Zhang Yining saw Lin Ge.

When she saw the cat slowly walk over, leap onto the basketball hoop, lazily climb up, and then squat down behind the backboard, Zhang Yining felt relieved. She felt that with Lin Ge around, safety wouldn't be a problem. Zhang Yining had complete confidence in Lin Ge.

"I'll go first. What do we do?"

Zhang Yining decided to check on Hu Miao's situation first, so that he could protect her from harm if anything happened.

"Yes, yes! Please come over here!"

Tao Junfeng showed a hint of regret; he preferred shooting photos of short skirts. But… long skirts aren't out of the question either, hmm!

On the basketball hoop, Lin Ge squinted slightly.

He sensed something was off about the boy named Tao Junfeng, but couldn't quite figure out what he was regretting. Besides, it was just taking pictures; what could possibly happen in public? The two kids liked it too.

"Okay! Look this way!"

Tao Junfeng's camera handling skills are indeed very proficient, and his guidance on various lighting, bokeh, and poses is also quite good; he's not just a pretentious fake.

But as the filming progressed, Lin Ge's eyes widened. The kid's poses were getting weirder and weirder, and he was getting closer and closer to the ground. Seeing that his actions were becoming increasingly outrageous, Lin Ge finally figured out what this bastard was up to.

"Come on! Sit on the blanket... stretch your legs out forward, knees bent... Yes! Okay, open them a little wider, hug each knee with your hands... look at me..."

Tao Junfeng was practically lying on the ground, snapping photos of Zhang Yining incessantly. Although Zhang Yining vaguely sensed something was amiss, she obediently posed as the photographer instructed, completely unaware that she had inadvertently exposed herself.

That kid is a jerk who takes pictures of private moments! And...

court death!

Lingo was furious.

Just as Tao Junfeng was trying to trick Zhang Yining into opening his legs wider, Lin Ge fell like a cannonball.

With a powerful kick, he struck Tao Junfeng on the head like a falling meteor, causing the guy who was lying on the ground taking pictures to hit his head on the camera and then crash into the court, smashing the camera lens and flash off.

"what!"

"What happened?"

"Mimi?"

A flurry of activity erupted as everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the cat. Zhang Yining, who was sitting on the ground, quickly scrambled to her feet, screamed, and ran toward Lin Ge.

"Ning Ning!"

Hu Miao followed after him, her face flushed.

She had already sensed that Zhang Yining's posture wasn't quite right, but with boys cheering them on all around and the photographer looking very professional, she was hesitant to move.

Thankfully, Mimi has arrived now.

Surrounded by a group of students, the two girls quickly hid behind Lin Ge.

“Mom… Damn it!”

Tao Junfeng, his face covered in blood, sat up in a daze. Looking at the wrecked camera in his hand, he instantly came to his senses and his expression turned horrified.

Shaking his head to clear his head, Tao Junfeng glared at Lin Ge and said, "What's going on? Where did this cat come from? Little sister, is it yours? Look what it's done! You'll have to compensate me for all these losses! I was just trying to be nice and take pictures for you..."

"I never allowed you to take those kinds of inappropriate photos!"

Zhang Yining shouted angrily, having already learned from Hu Miao just how terrible her posture had been.

"It does seem a bit excessive... I think this guy is pretty shameless."

"Are they seniors from our school?"

"I do not know."

The students who gathered around began to whisper among themselves.
