Lu Yuzhu couldn't help but start reminiscing.

She has always been a quiet and gentle girl since childhood, and has always been the kind of child that everyone admires.

Lu Yuzhu's father is a policeman, and her mother is a high school teacher.

Her family has always been quite strict with her education; she not only had to excel in her studies, but also be proficient in various arts such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Therefore, she spends most of her time immersed in her studies, so as not to disappoint her parents, which is why she is rather quiet and reserved.

From the time she could remember, her mother had a strong desire to control her. Her mother strictly required her to meet certain standards in every exam, including how many points she could score, how many places she could rank in her class, and how many levels she could achieve in each talent.

If you don't do well, you'll be deprived of sleep and food, and subjected to a barrage of scolding.

After she went to university, her parents finally loosened their control over her a bit.

Lu Yuzhu and Ning Anyuan got to know each other because one of her roommates was dating Ning Anyuan's roommate.

When Lu Yuzhu was in the dormitory, she overheard her roommates discussing the girl's boyfriend's roommate. Because Ning Anyuan was good-looking, she heard a lot of praise for Ning Anyuan from the girl.

Lu Yuzhu didn't really care about these things. Her roommate, Wu Yiqian, was a very lively girl. Seeing that Lu Yuzhu always went to the library and various practice rooms by herself, Wu Yiqian couldn't bear it and thought of taking her along to play.

Lu Yuzhu and Ning Anyuan first met while eating in the cafeteria.

Wu Yiqian ran into her boyfriend Chen Tinghao and planned to take Lu Yuzhu back with her. Coincidentally, Chen Tinghao also brought Ning Anyuan and his other roommate.

However, at that time, Lu Yuzhu did not have any feelings for Ning Anyuan, or rather, she did not have any feelings for any man at that time.

They simply ate their first meal together.

However, after the first meeting, a second one soon followed.

That day, Lu Yuzhu sat on a bench by a tree-lined path at school, listening quietly to English listening exercises with her headphones on.

As she listened, her eyes caught sight of a cat's tail in the bushes.

Lu Yuzhu thought she was seeing things, so she took off her headphones and couldn't help but peek over.

Sure enough, I heard a few faint meows.

Lu Yuzhu put away her headphones and couldn't help but walk over.

She crouched down and found a small orange kitten, only slightly larger than her palm, in the bushes.

Lu Yuzhu was somewhat surprised. She reached out and gently picked up the kitten. She discovered that one of the kitten's paws was injured and it could not stand.

This cat is so small and injured, it's so pitiful.

Lu Yuzhu held the cat and looked around, but didn't see anyone. If it belonged to someone, the person should be around. Could it be a stray cat?

Lu Yuzhu had no choice but to pick up the kitten and prepare to take it to the vet.

The kitten kept meowing in her arms, and you could tell it was in a lot of pain.

Lu Yuzhu reached out and stroked its head, saying softly as she walked, "Good kitten, sister will take you to see the vet."

"Just bear with it, the pain will subside soon."

She hadn't walked far when someone suddenly grabbed her arm.

A male voice called out, "Classmate."

Lu Yuzhu turned her head and looked at the boy who had grabbed her.

That was a familiar face—Ning Anyuan, she had seen him before.

He was wearing a pure white t-shirt, his face was clearly defined, his hair was slightly messy, and his thin lips were slightly parted as he was panting.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the autumn leaves overhead, casting rays of light on his face.

Lu Yuzhu met his gaze, and their eyes locked for a moment, both of them momentarily stunned.

“It’s you, Lu…” Ning Anyuan said with some surprise.

Lu Yuzhu said to him calmly, "Lu Yuzhu."

Ning Anyuan nodded: "Yes, yes, Lu Yuzhu."

"You're Tinghao's girlfriend's roommate; I've seen you before."

Ning Anyuan then looked down at the kitten in Lu Yuzhu's arms, and quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "Um, Lu, this kitten is mine."

Ning Anyuan pointed to the pitiful little cat in her arms.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuzhu became wary.

Not only is this cat so small, but it's amazing that such a small cat could be lost and even injured.

From what she knows, many college students nowadays follow the trend of adopting kittens in their dorm rooms, not because they really like them, but just to pass the time when they are bored.

Moreover, many people are completely irresponsible and treat kittens badly, keeping them purely as playthings.

Seeing that she didn't move, Ning Anyuan assumed that Lu Yuzhu didn't believe the cat was hers.

“His name is Little Orange, and he’s only a little over a month old. He’s really my cat,” Ning Anyuan said quickly.

Lu Yuzhu's expression was somewhat serious: "I don't feel comfortable entrusting the kitten to you if you're taking care of it like this. If you can't properly care for it, it would be better to give it to other cat lovers for adoption."

Ning Anyuan was stunned. It turned out that Lu Yuzhu thought he would mistreat Xiao Ju Zi.

Ning Anyuan explained, "I wasn't at school today, so I gave it to a friend. Who knew he'd take it out to play and lose the little orange?"

“Luckily, I saw you holding Little Orange nearby. My friend is from Lan Yi, and their dormitory is nearby,” Ning Anyuan pointed to the dormitory building not far away.

Lu Yuzhu looked over; it was a boys' dormitory, which was nice, but...

Ning Anyuan continued, "When I first found Little Orange, it wasn't even a month old. It was lying on the roadside, barely alive. After I brought it home, I've been treating its illness and taking good care of it."

"Of course I wouldn't do anything to hurt Little Orange."

After saying that, he took out his phone to show her photos of Xiao Ju Zi receiving treatment at the hospital.

Hearing this, Lu Yuzhu was moved. She believed that Ning Anyuan probably wasn't that kind of person.

“Its foot is injured,” Lu Yuzhu said, stroking the kitten.

Ning Anyuan frowned, then reached out and stroked Xiao Ju Zi's body.

"This little guy, it took him so long to recover his health."

"How did you get hurt?"

Lu Yuzhu stared at Ning Anyuan, and could see his worry about the kitten.

Then Ning Anyuan was about to take the little orange away when Lu Yuzhu gently handed it to him.

Ning Anyuan gently picked it up and carefully examined it, discovering that its paw did indeed look injured.

"I need to take Little Orange to the hospital."

"Thank you for today," Ning Anyuan said, looking up at Lu Yuzhu after the examination.

Lu Yuzhu's gaze lingered on the kitten: "Its leg must have been injured from jumping from a great height."

"Take it to the hospital to get it checked out quickly," Lu Yuzhu said, then stared at Ning Anyuan.

“Okay,” Ning Anyuan replied.

Lu Yuzhu watched as Ning Anyuan carried Xiao Juzi further and further away.
