Moonlight falls into my arms

After a week of waiting, Ruan Li finally got Jiang Yuci's day off.

The next morning, Ruan Li was woken up by the alarm clock on her smartwatch.

She was still in a daze when she raised her hand to press her ear, and a question briefly popped into her mind—had she set an alarm?

He quickly fell asleep again, and the sound rang again five minutes later.

Ruan Li shrank into the quilt, covering her entire head, until the sound of knocking on the door rang out, and Jiang Yuci called her from outside.

It called out several times.

"If you don't get up, you can get rid of your cat."

Ruan Li, with a death wish, got out of bed with her eyes closed, went barefoot to open the door, and said sleepily with her eyes still closed, "I'm up."

"Put on your shoes, change your clothes, and have breakfast."

Ruan Li nodded with her eyes still closed.

Jiang Yuci lowered his eyes, looking at Ruan Li's messy sleeping head, with fluffy, tangled hair sticking out on top of her head, looking a little dazed.

"Your cat is gone."

Those four words completely jolted Ruan Li awake. She opened her eyes wide and angrily rebuked, "Jiang Yuci, you're not human."

Jiang Yuci gave a slight twitch of his lips. "Get your chopsticks and wash your hands."

Ruan Li looked back at the corner and saw the kitten sleeping soundly in its bed.

Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Yuci pressed her shoulder and pushed her back, saying, "Shoes."

After being reminded, Ruan Li remembered.

Ever since that time Ruan Li went to the hospital and the doctor said she was malnourished.

She began a daily battle of wits with Jiang Yuci, all to avoid drinking that glass of pure milk.

After a quick wash, she went to the dining table, wondering what excuse she could use to avoid drinking that glass of milk today.

I opened my eyes wide, but surprisingly, I didn't see any pure milk on the clean table.

She looked at Jiang Yuci blankly: "You finally..."

—Let me go.

Before she could finish speaking, another small bowl was pushed in front of Ruan Li.

The pale yellow steamed egg was very tender, and it was placed next to her white porcelain bowl, with two dates and a few goji berries on top.

"Eat," he said casually, withdrawing his hand.

Ruan Li was initially a little disgusted because she didn't like goji berries. But after taking a small spoonful and tasting it, she said, "Hmm, it's pretty good."

She took a few more spoonfuls and ate, then asked Jiang Yuci, "Why aren't you eating?"

"I'm not malnourished."

He glanced at the time; he had a lot to do today. First, he had to take Ruan Li to school, and then he had to take the cat for a check-up and vaccinations. He had specially set an alarm for Ruan Li last night, but she still overslept.

Unlike before, Ruan Li didn't dawdle and take forever to finish her meal this time. She quite liked the steamed egg and finished it in a few bites, leaving only a few lonely goji berries in the bowl.

Because the kitten hadn't received any vaccinations yet, Jiang Yuci didn't allow Ruan Li, who wasn't in good health, to get too close.

The reason given was that he didn't want to waste his vacation time taking care of a patient.

Ruan Li gave in, feeling deflated.

"Why can't I go with you to accompany Yuzi to get his injection?"

Before leaving the house, Ruan Li squatted at the door putting on her shoes, and listened to Jiang Yuci's words with great incomprehension.

Doesn't he dislike cats?

"Please arrange your time reasonably. I'll take you to school, then talk to the principal and let you in. I'll then take the cat to the vet for its shot. Call me when you're done there."

Ruan Li muttered, "Your schedule is inhumane."

She prefers to walk with someone, even if it takes more time.

Ruan Li carried the cat carrier on her back in front, occasionally poking at the fishbone through the ventilation hole.

Jiang Yuci saw it and then silently withdrew his hand.

"You can touch it after the injection," Ruan Li comforted the fishbone in the cat carrier.

"arrive."

Jiang Yuci parked the car in the parking space at the entrance, got out of the car, and walked next to Ruan Li.

Ruan Li was still wearing the scarf Jiang Yuci had given her, which covered the lower half of her face, leaving only her two clear and bright eyes visible.

Jiang Yuci had contacted the school in advance, so all he needed to do now was take Ruan Li to the security room.

Suddenly, Ruan Li, who was next to him, tugged at his clothes and crawled into his coat.

"Help! Help! It's that lunatic, the one who pulled my stomach! The one who laughed at me!" Ruan Li's face turned red as she thought about how she was kicked out by security guards last time.

Who would have thought that, by sheer coincidence, they would run into that 'truant boy' and the security guard again?

After glancing at him, she guessed that the 'truant' had probably been caught by the security guard and was being disciplined, and the security guard standing opposite him was the same one who had caught her last time.

Ruan Li didn't want to be seen, so she pulled hard on Jiang Yuci's clothes to cover her face.

Jiang Yuci didn't react for several seconds, only feeling that her little head, which was constantly arching against her chest, was rubbing against her sweater and causing a little static electricity.

Strands of her hair clung to him, one even scratching his throat and jaw.

It's soft and a little itchy.

Ruan Li wanted to ask if there was any way to avoid confronting that security guard.

My collar was tugged at the back and pulled outwards.

Ruan Li was wearing a down jacket today without a hood, and the collar was quite low. The hand that was grabbing the back of her collar brushed against a small patch of skin that was suddenly exposed to the cold air, and the chill of the fingertips made her shrink back.

Jiang Yuci's fingertips were suddenly pulled back, awkwardly caught between her scarf and collar.

It was very soft and warm, a stark contrast to the exposed back of my hand.

"Ah, it's so cold," Ruan Li patted him, looked up and glared at him, "What are you doing?"

His pale eyes were lowered, revealing no emotion, yet they inexplicably gave off a profound feeling, as if they could draw you in.

She was still pressed against Jiang Yuci's chest when she suddenly looked up at him from this angle.

Much like...

Jiang Yuci's mind went blank for a moment, much like that day when the kitten crawled around his feet and then looked up at him and meowed.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Before Ruan Li could get a reply, his hand, with its distinct fingers, pressed down on her forehead, forcing her to back away.

"Oh, they'll be seen." That was the last thing she said.

Ruan Lilu's exposed face was covered by a scarf.

Jiang Yuci pulled the scarf around her neck up, covering her entire face.

Ruan Li had been smelling a faint, cool pine scent on his body, but after the scarf covered it, the scent of laundry detergent on the scarf masked the smell in her nostrils.

"Let's go."

Ruan Li: ?

"Am I blind?" Ruan Li, whose face was covered by a scarf, turned her head around a couple of times.

Jiang Yuci grabbed her arm and pulled her toward the security room.

You can't feel anything through the thick down jacket.

But then Ruan Li suddenly remembered the sudden coolness she felt when Jiang Yuci's fingertips touched the flesh behind her neck.

At that time, she didn't have any particular thoughts; she just felt cold and wanted to shrink her neck.

Now that the view is blocked, people who can't see the road will feel lost about what lies ahead, and Ruan Li's heart started beating faster.

But then she remembered Jiang Yuci's hand guiding her forward through her clothes.

She gradually calmed down and began to feel that he was the only person she could trust.

This idea is really...strange.

There were two middle-aged men in the security room, one of whom was standing outside reprimanding the 'truant boy'.

Jiang Yuci pulled Ruan Li inside to find the person there.

He stood to Ruan Li's left, blocking the 'truant boy's' gaze.

It also blocked the security guard's hesitant gaze towards the 'masked girl'.

"Mr. Jiang? Oh, you can come in, you can come in." The security guard made a phone call, and after verifying the information, he was allowed to enter.

Jiang Yuci took the cat carrier strap from Ruan Li's shoulder and handed it to her, saying, "Go ahead."

After saying that, he turned Ruan Li in a different direction.

Ruan Li covered her face with the scarf, took a few steps forward, and then pulled the scarf off, her face flushed red.
