Chapter 14 Calligraphy
Jiang Songchu remembered that there was a pet hospital on the way to Riyue Community. He had passed by it while shopping and heard the barking of puppies inside, which caught his attention.
She took the little black cat to the vet for a full check-up and bath, and followed the doctor's advice to deworm it.
For the sake of the little guy's health, she decided to bring him back for vaccinations in a while. After paying for and purchasing a series of pet supplies, she returned home with the little black cat, laden with purchases.
After some grooming, the little black cat's fur regained its original luster, and Jiang Songchu looked at it with great affection.
"Little one, you're so cute, I'll call you Mo Bao. From now on, I'll grow up with you."
Jiang Songchu gently picked up Mo Bao, took a selfie with her phone, and then posted the photo to the dormitory group chat.
At this moment, Mo Bao rubbed its little head against Jiang Songchu's cheek, making her laugh heartily.
Recalling her days in her boudoir, Jiang Songchu once longed to have a cat, but her governess refused, saying it was against the etiquette of a crown princess.
Now, meeting Mo Bao, she feels that a void in her heart has been filled.
The name "Mo Bao" originally refers to precious calligraphy and painting works, but looking at this little black creature, Jiang Songchu felt that it was her beloved kitten.
However, amidst the joy, Jiang Songchu also felt somewhat worried.
She thought about how she would be taking care of Mo Bao since she would be living at school.
Should she give it up for adoption? She really couldn't bear to.
What about day students? Not living on campus? High school life is bound to have some imperfections.
Jiang Songchu was caught in a dilemma. She thought of Grandma Feng, whom she had met today. When Grandma Feng found the calligraphy, she also showed great delight on her face. However, she did not know the actual situation, so she was hesitant.
She didn't know if Grandma Feng could help her solve this problem, and she was worried that it wouldn't be good to bother her rashly.
Jiang Songchu decided to put aside the things she couldn't understand for the time being. She shook her head to clear her mind.
It was nearly 7 p.m. when I returned from the vet.
Instead of cooking, Jiang Songchu took out a few loaves of bread she had bought at a bakery near the community entrance. She opened one of them, sprawled on the sofa, and happily enjoyed the delicious bread while playing on her phone.

[Yang Ziyi: Wow, what an adorable kitten! Chu Chu, do you own it?]
[Jiang Songchu: Yes, I found it on my way home today. I named it Mo Bao, hehe.]
[Ning An: Oh my god, such adorable calligraphy! Ahhh, my parents won't let me keep a kitten, but I love them so much!]
[Qin Weiwei: I also have a cat, a Ragdoll, who's five years old now and as chubby as a ball. Feel free to ask me any questions. Although I don't have a lot of experience raising cats, I do have a little bit of experience.]
[Jiang Songchu: @Ning An, you can come to my house to pet my cat, hehehe. @Qin Weiwei, okay, no problem, thank you, beautiful and kind Weiwei.]
After a brief period of liveliness in the dormitory group chat, everyone went back to their own busy lives.
After taking a bath and getting ready, Jiang Songchu lay on the bed with Mo Bao in her arms, covered with a soft blanket, and quietly drifted off to sleep.
However, in the dream, Jiang Songchu returned to her immersive study room.
After half a month of hard work... in fact, countless days and nights of struggle, significant progress was finally displayed on the monitor in the study room.
古武术93分、书画93分、棋艺87分、古舞90分、古乐器91分，而高中文化成绩则提升到了51分。
Some skill-based categories gained 1 point, while others remained unchanged. This is normal, because striving for excellence is never an easy task.
With Jiang Songchu's intensive tutoring, his high school grades improved, but still did not reach the passing grade.
After letting out a wail, she threw herself back into the sea of learning.
With the preliminary exam coming up next week, Jiang Songchu decided to focus all her efforts on preparing for the exam these next two days, while putting aside other skills-related subjects for the time being, except for the necessary daily practice.
After all, the mission is the top priority right now!
The night passed.
At eight o'clock on Saturday morning, Jiang Songchu woke up to the sound of soft, gentle meows. Her thoughts gradually cleared, and after calming down, she remembered that she had a beloved kitten named Mo Bao.
Jiang Songchu quickly tidied herself up before feeding Mo Bao, fulfilling her duties as a dutiful cat owner.
With her mind on today's itinerary, Jiang Songchu, considering the future care of Mo Bao, decided to visit Grandma Feng's house again to see if Grandma Feng could take care of Mo Bao.
If it becomes inconvenient for Grandma Feng to take care of him, she plans to apply to the teacher to switch to day school so that she can better take care of Mo Bao.
It was still early, so Jiang Songchu decided to enjoy a leisurely breakfast before heading to Rhine Villa.
She took out the leftover bread from yesterday from the refrigerator, heated it up, and enjoyed it leisurely with a bottle of fresh milk.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just then, a rapid knocking broke the morning's tranquility.
Jiang Songchu was slightly taken aback. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she asked curiously, "Who?"
A woman's voice came from outside the door, a voice that was both unfamiliar and familiar: "Jiang Songchu, it's me, your Aunt Qiu."
A sense of doubt welled up in Jiang Songchu's heart. As she walked towards the door, she asked the system, "System, who is Aunt Qiu?"
The system suddenly snapped out of its daze and hurriedly explained, "Oh dear, Chu Chu, I forgot to tell you. This is the background setting for the system's transmigrators. Aunt Qiu is Qiu Fanghua, the daughter of your adoptive parents."
The system quickly described this background setting:
Back then, Qiu Fanghua got together with a boss from Nanlin City and they were preparing to get married. When she brought the boss to her home to meet Qiu's parents, they felt that the boss was not only more than ten years older than Qiu Fanghua, but also didn't seem to really care about Aunt Qiu. So they didn't agree and told Qiu Fanghua to think it over again.
Enraged, Qiu Fanghua insisted on being with the young business owner and severed ties with the Qiu couple.
Heartbroken, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu adopted Jiang Songchu from an orphanage. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu fell ill one after another. Jiang Songchu took care of them while studying. When he was about to pass away, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu made a will, leaving the house to Jiang Songchu.
Jiang Songchu and Qiu Fanghua had never met before, because she had never returned to the Qiu family since she left, and it was unknown what her purpose was in returning this time.
After hearing the system's explanation, Jiang Songchu had already made up her mind and reached out to open the door.
The woman in front of me was about forty years old, with a full figure. She was about 1.65 meters tall, with heavy makeup, wearing a white cheongsam, with wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, a handbag hanging on her arm, and high heels on her feet. What was most eye-catching was the pearl necklace around her neck and the pearl earrings on her ears, which complemented each other and made her look even more wealthy. Her face still showed traces of her beauty when she was young.
